CONTINUE!) MOM FOURTH TAOE. ARIZONA LUMBER and TIMBER CO. THE LAIIGEaT JI1LL COMl'AXl IN THE SOUTHWEST. A firm doing business with i capital of ono nml half million dollars ould lie considered financially stroug oven in tho largo commercial centres of the Eastern or I'ncifio Coast states, antl few cities or towns containing tho saino number of inhabitants as Flagstaff can boast of such an establishment. Tho Arizona Lumber ami Timber company is capitalized for this amouut, and is undoubtedly tho most extensive lumber company In tho southwest.

It is situated in tho midst of the largest timber belt in Arizona, and one which covers more area thau am in Texas, Kansas or New Mexico. In fact nil of these states, including Mexico, are nlmost wholly dopendeut upon tho San Francisco Mountains for their timber. Tho timber used for both bridges and tics on tho Mexican Central was furnished by tho Arizona Lumber and Timber company, also tho Atlantic Pacific and other long lines of western railroads. Tho mills arc situated about one mile from tho depot where tho company has exclusive jurisdiction over all property in tho lower town, known as Milton; no intoxicating liquors being sold upon their premises. Tho capacity of their mills is thirt million feet per annum, and they have acquired timber rights enough to keep tho mill in actlvo operation for a century.

Thcro is at present about seventy-five million feet of lumber used iu tho country adjacent to Flagstaff, and it is only a matter of a few years when tho amount needed will bo double this. Consequently tho lumber company, iu order to keep pace with the increase of busiues3, will make extensive additions to their already large plant. Tlieso will ineludo a plaut for preserving wood. This will be especially desirable iu case of railroad ties C1 use on tho treeless plains where any kind of Vod is valuable. There is "at present piled in l0 yard about Jive million feet whllo the capacity of the yard Is twice- this amount.

The company has gained coutrol of tho Central Arizona railroad which, wheu complete, will connect Flagstaff and Phoenix, hituatcd in tho Salt River valley, one of tho richest iu agricultural resources of any tho in the wist. Tho road is linetl by a choice body of timber, it aicrnglug about a thousand feet to each tree. Although two lire have devastated the company's property, yet they, with truevAmerieau pluck havo continued to rush theit business onwnul to a suc cessful issue. Mr. U.

M. Riordan is president and manager of tho Arizona Lumber com pany, and is ono of tho brainy enter prising business men of the lcrntorj Ho enlisted in an Illinois regiment at tho ago of 15 and served until tho closo of the war, during which time he did gallant scnico for his country. He has been identified with sonic of tho lanrcst timber companies in Arizona and Nevada, among Ablch were tho Syndicate Mills at Bodle, of which ho was superintendent, and nlso had charge of the entire lumber business of the Virginia 'lruckco railroad. Dur-thfl two years ho was agent of tho Navajos never failed to give satis faction to Iwtli his Husky enarges and the white settler, by his honorable methods in dealing with ail questions pertaining to their equitable rights. Much of tho present success of this institution is duo to Mr.

Riordan's ability as a successful manager ami shrewd business man. Mr. T. A. Riordan, tho nssistant manager, has tho direction of all tho work.

Ho is a capable, conservatho business man, and with his corps of efficient assistants, handles tho enor mous business of tho company iu ati expeditious and satisfactory manner. Mr. W. Sissou Is treasurer of both tho Lumber and Riordan Mercantile company, and tho amount of cash handled by this gentleman for the two firms Is larger than Is required to transact tho business of any bank in tho Territory Tho company has shown a com-jnendablo spirit iu providing for the use of all employees free reading nnd billiard rooms whero they can spend their leisure hours away from tho demoralizing Influence of grog shops or places of questionable repute. Tho Arizona Lumber company is ono of tho institutions of which tho 'whole Territory has reason to bo proud ami reflects ciedit.

not only upon the original promoters of the enterprise for the business sagacity shown iu investing (heir capital at this, point, but also upon the present mauageiucnt for tLo executive ability displayed, RIORDAN MERCANTILE CO. JOBIILKS' AND DEALERS- IN OUNEKAL JIEUCIIANDISE. LEAVING WHOLESALE AND 1IETAIL TIItM IN ARIZONA. The leqiiiremcnts of tho Arizona Lumber and Timber compauy, or as it was founerly known tho Aver Luinbor company, necessitated tho establishing of a general store where tho employees could, at a minimum cost, purchase tho clothing, provisions and other ai tides necessary to their dally existence Exorbitant pi Ices had been heretofore charged by the mcrchauts throughout tho Tenitory, tho stocks being usually and insurance, nt that time, being out of tho question, they expected to reali.o enough profits on ono stock of goods to olliet tho possible loss by fire of tho next one. Tho Riordan Mercantile company, by buying in car load lots and making special arrangements with transportation companies, were enabled to sell goods as cheap as any of tho Denver houses, and that this fact has been appreciated by woiking men js shown by their largo trado with all classes of laborers.

Tho stock carried embraces every thing included in the term general merchandise, such as boots, shoes, hut, caps, gent's furnishings, provisions, clothing and ladies' dress goods of the latest style fresh from tho looms of the eastern ami foreign factories.

Iu all of the undertakings that havo benefitted Northern Arizona, such as tho Arizona Luinbor ami Timber com pan the Riord.m Mercantile company. the Grand Cain on Central Arizona railroads, is seen the evidence of Mr Riordan's indefatigable effoits to dc-vclope tho resources of this country of grand possibilities, and no ono niau iu either public or private life has done more to givo the world reliable information in regard to tho opportunities for investment or induce capital to come to Arizona than Mr.

MARSHALL. VENTIST. Ono of the most acute ngonles that human nature is required to endure is tho and none can be more readily relieved if the services of a competent dentist aro brought into requisition. Great improvements have been made both in the appliauees and methods used in dental Surgery in tho last decade, Only thoso who can show diplomas ft out some reputable college are considered capable of performing even tho simplest operation in dentistry.

sccoud to none in the A. P. GIBSON, COAL, HAY AND (WAIN VKALEI1. One of tho old and respected citizens of Flagstaff is A. P.

Gibsou, tho well-known dealer in liny, coal and grain. As a criterion of the esteem In which Mr. Gibson is held by his fellow-citizens, it is only necessary to mention the fact that he holds two important offices at present one librarian of tho free reading room (n meritorious novation on the lino of tiio Atlantic Pacific) where a select nssoitincnt of all llio leading periodicals aud newspapers are accessible to all who thirst for knowledge instead of beer. JIo is also Justice of tho Peace, and his decisions never fall to give t-atisfnclioii to litigants. Mr, Gibsou is one of tho solid respectable citizens of tho future great luctropilis of tho southwest, MACGUIRE HOWARD.

BLACKSMITHS. There is no class of business that requires more mechanical skill than that of a blacksmith. A person can bo as much an artist in his lino with a hammer aud forgo as with a camel hair brush and oil or alcr color. Among tho best workers in Iron In Arizona aro Macguiro Howard, who havo gaimkl a reputation as skilled artisans, especially in tho liuo of horseshoeing, iu which branch Mr. Macguiro lias few equals aud no superior in the Terri- Mr.

Dr. Bunnell's success as a medical practitioner has been phenomenal, and he is at present ono of tho leading lights of the medical profession of tho south-west. J. DERR. AUTISTIC TAILOR.

It is an tin leniablo fact that society Is judged in a great nieasuro by the clothes it wears. As a nilc the well diessed betokened the gentleman, tho "loudly" or flashily dressed man the reverse. It is an important matter that a person who has not a special taste in matters of dress themselves, should go to a flrst-olass morchant ttdlurand submit to his judgment, while It is equally necessary for those who aro possessed of tasto their orders in tho hands of an expert.
