 Mr. H. c. Ballou has 8 field of grown cabbages that withstood the unusually cold weather of the past winter without showing the least damage. The heads are now large and solid and his experi- ence demonstrates the capability of this valley to grow vegetables during the en- tire winter months. He has also green peas now ready for use that were grown during the winter. The people of this valley have hardly begun to learn the possibilities of the soil and climate and it is only by tho CT xperience of such in- telligent producers as Mir. Ballou that real progress in this respect Is taught. From Pinal 1t Is learned that the work of putting in the large boiler and engine at the Silver King mill Is nearly com pleted. When all the contemplated changes are made the mill will be fully equipped to work the ores of that famous mine in the most economical manner and up to Q high percentage of their assay value. Supt. Macy is looking after the company's interests with the most scrupulous fidelity and zeal and when all his plans are completed the Silver King mine and mill will be one of the most perfect producing properties in e1- istence.
 Knowing the bene fcial effects of ad- vertising as well as they do, the mana gers of the J. D. R;ttenhouse estate are

By its means they have greatly cleared the shelves for the new summer stock that will short ly be purchased, and have brought GUS. toners from far and near to town, Ad. vertising pays, especially where it Is sup ported by goods that will substantiate the statements put forth.
