Figs rowing,

The expense of growing and curing figs is less than that of any other fruit known. The trees are subject to no disease or insect pest, and once planted, they re- quire no particular attention. The figs of the best varieties are being used in numerous different ways. It will take 25O,OO0 acres of fig orchard to supply alone the dried figs which are now yearly inn ported into the United States. But, besides the dried article, the crystallizing or icing of figs is be- coming an extensive industry, and many factories in California have now a demand for many times more than they can supply. Messrs. Bernard 6 Benedict, of Los Angeles, have for years offered to pay $50 per ton for all fresh white figs shipped to them; and they never get near enough for the supply wanted. Canned and pickled figs are a delicious article, and command a high price and ready sale in our Eastern markets, and the juice and syrup of figs are now extensively used for medical purposes. And the fresh figs can, with proper care-so called cold storage-be shipped to distant markets, and marmalades and condiments in variety can be made of the fresh fruit at home. This, however, only applies to fine varieties, not to the poor ones, of which latter our old Mission fig is one. If we now add that a fig tree eight to ten years old may bear a ton of fruit, 1t will be seen that the cultivation of figs can not but prove highly profitable Kern County California.

Big Mining Safe.

PRESCOTT, ARIz., Feb. I9.-Great excitement was caused in mining circles to-day on receipt of a tele- gram by Murphy Bros, brokers in mining property, containing the intelligence that the United Verde Copper company's mines, and mines at Jerome, thirty miles northeast of here, were sold to Mir. Clarke, of Butte, Mont. The tele- gram does not state the price paid, but it is estimated at from S2,000,- 900 to S4,000,000, as the former owners held the works at S3,500,- before the recent rise in copper. The property has been idle for some time, owing to the excessively high rates prevalent on both the coke and in the shipment of the bullion. It is said that at present the ore from the mine yields sil- yer of sufficient quantity to defray all expense necessary in mining and treating the ore. This IS cer tainly one of the richest copper mines in the world, as experts state that a mountain of copper is tapped by the mine. NIT. Clarke will at once proceed to improve his property, and demonstrate the feasibility of mining in Arizona.
 The mining outlook for Arizona at present is very fattering Hardly a day passes without the sale of some mining property. The owners of the Howard mine continue to develop their mine, the richness of ore still indicating it to be one of the best in the Territorty.
