Mir. Loneys two acres of six year-o old prune trees Is the finest sight of any thing l have seen ill the prune line. two years ago tile fruit from these TWO acres sold for $436 on the tree. There were eighteen tons of green fruit. They were bought by parties who dried them Last year the crop Was not so heavy, but stlll It brought $l50 per acre, or aD aver age for the two years of $l84 an acre. lie dried his prunes this last season, and this IS his method: First dup the fruit in tO hOIlug lYe--one pound American con centrated lye to fifty gdlons of water Rinse in clean, cold water and spread in cheese cloth on the ground to dry. When nearly dry take hold of the edges of the cloth and throw the prunes into pile in the center of the cloth, throw ing he edge of the cloth over them, and let them cure ten days. Then put then, in 600 pound boxes to sweat. Mr. Lon ey says he never, no never, prunes prune tree. l suppose from the fact that the tree Is all prune. He some times cuts ont cross limb on the inside, but ne Ter cuts back from the time of planting 10 the harvesting of the fruit on the mature trees. The long Hmbs, loaded with fruit, gradually bend over till the tips point downward He ere ates support part way up the limbs by tying one end of piece of bailing rope oil a limb, passing it once around the next limb, and so on until he gets around the tree, when he ties it at the starting point. This makes a supporting hoop or batting rope. MT. Loney would plant prunes in this soil in prefer ence to anything else. But here cones an item of information which, If needed by new corners, may be worth to him great many dollars Part of Mir. Loney's trees when set out, were yearlings and part were twoyear- olds, but all from the same nursery and grown under the same conditions; but oT; at six years old the yearling trees are the largest and incest trees Hence, MT. Loney says never plant anything but a yearlins prune tree.

Water Storage.

A trip on Sunday last, with B. k. Keliner, revealed the fact that the flow uf water from above and below that gentleman's saw mill, can easily be util- Izod by a succession of dams which will more then compensate for the cost of constl uction. The arroyo or gorge through which the water flows IS harrow and, having a fall of many feet to the mile, water could be stored not only for mere cattle than the pasturage will sus- tam. but sufficient besides to greatly benefit the valley into which 1t flows Mir. kellnel realizing the fact of it's value as d stock range has determined to place d thousand or more cattle there, and intends piping ths water to conven- lent localities provided with succession of troughs.
 All the gulches between Globe and Pi- nal mountain are admirably adapted for the storage of water. Being narrow, with precipitous sides, and the bedrock near the surface, daus could be easily constructed at a moderate cost. making reservoirs which would contain water su ficient to supply Globe the year round, and irrigate thousands of acres of fertile land ill tine Miami and Pinal val leys.-Silver Belt.

The pueblo Indians, peaceful, or deriy and indussrlous race of people, who have lnhtbited the valleys anu plains of New Mexico for body knows how many cen, urles, have tradition an3ng them th t has been handed down from remote ages, and which, related to us by an old man of the tribe, Is substantially as follows: "rhe great prophet told our fathers that after many ages the white man would come from the land of the sunrise and would destroy our burro irst Is and make in their Stead long roads of iron, which should have ne.tler b; : ginning nor ending, and upon tlvse he shou ride i'll great wagons of fire, en- Hoped in clouds of smoke, and followed by rambling thund rs.

Advertising Captures the Cash.

The Grass Valley Tldlngs gives the following account Of how enterprising advertising captured the shekels up in that section:
 man went to Carson City, which is in the state of Nevada, and hls business was 10 sell spectacles, or eye glasses The man staid in town three weeks and te sold S1, 300 worth of his wares. The proht on his sales 5000. The Carson City dealers ill such goods were well stocked and sold goods that were just as merltorIous ill every Way as were those !of the stranger. But the Carson dealers have their eye glasses on hand and stow ed away carefully, a the citizens there who have need of help to vision, or who thnk they have, are looking through the glasses the stranger took to the place, and the stranger, juggling Carson com ld hIs pocket, has gone on to another town Where he wnl make still more money The way how this state of af- 'talrs has come about Is easily under stoud The stran- CT spent in h;s three weeks s"Journ about SI00 in advertising his wdres and his business. The adver- tIsemeuis letnInded the Carsonites who are weak-eyed, or who imagine they are.
 hst they needed the spectacles. The local dealers had not told in the news ptpers about weak eyes and about help { vision. The stran ger stirred up the 'blect through the press, and he made killing, as the vulgar singers of slang expressively remark And those Carson
 "cal deiiers are growing because their own neighbors and friends patronized the stranger; but tine reply is, "We didn't know you had'em; had rather buy of you than of the man who told us about it; of course we had as he stopped here only few days" The eye glass trade is not the only one that needs stirring up for public attention. The moral of the Car son City transaction will reach to great many stocks of merchandise.

A Wan Adopted Rabbits.

There IS an old man out in Mound Valley, Nevada, who has been adopted bya lot of jtcl; rabbits. Their triendii- hess and good feeling have become so ootraslve that the old fellow would be thankful If something would happen to allenate their affections. He is sort of hermit, hvlng all alone on his ranch, where he devotes all his time to cattle and horse raising As he doesn't try to raise vegetables, the rabbits could d, him no harm, and so he never tried to drive them away. They soon became very tame. and, as the jtck rabbit is an atfectionate animal anyway, they keep making more advances and trials of friendship until they and the old man have become quite sCciable. When he goes out after his cows two or three dog en ia9hIts come dropping along after him, leapiug around him. running between iis legs, and nibbliug his fin sers. Very often drove of them will gather around hls cabin and ept up all sorfs of pranks Ia front uf his door, leap on his bed, jump into his chair--if he isn't occupy mg the only one himself-aud nose around among his kettles and dishes for something to eat Several of the most intelligent he has singled out for special favors. He has taught them numb Der of tricks, such as jumping over bar ol through ring, walki e on their hind .egs, and jumping over one another like leap frog. But the rabbits have devel oped such liking for civilization thai they are about to take possession of h.. house, and have begun to rear theil brood in it, so that the old man hardly knows now whether he owns the house or simply lives there with the rabbits | Carson A ppeal.

There is very fran conviction abroad among the business men of this valley that the coming fall will see great in petus given to all sorts of business thro ughout this and the Gila valley and the surrounding mining and grazing re- gions The Conviction arises from the fact tha at crops of all kinds will be very heavy, and that there is probably doub e the productive area of lands that has ever before yielded their wealth to tie hand of labor Again, the enormous amount of advertising done for this re- glon fer the past year,-is just beginnii g to have it's effect, aud where we have h. a hundred visitors the past year, we will | have a thousand next year.

 There is talk of tunueIiug under New York. The plan proposed IS for sys- Jeu of duubIe tunnels cut through the solld rock under the E,st and North rivers and under the city at depth of siXty feet below the street surface, con meeting the Gong Island Railroad wlth the New York Central and Hudson Rlv- er Railroad, the elevated roads and the railroads coming into Jersey City from the South aud West These tunnels, 1t Is proposed, shall be lighted by eiectric- Ity, and only electrc motive power shall bc used Ill them, while large elevators are to be placed wherever the tunnel crosses the fines of the elevated roads, to transfer passengers to the elevated trIlns This systen, ot double tunnels. the engl- neers uf the company estinate,. can be built and equipped for Sl 900, 900 mile, or a total cost of from S0, GOO, 900 to S6,- 900, 900. The projectors of the tunnels, the New York ana Long Island Railroad Company, new corporation, claim that the tunnels, being so far under ground , can do no possible injury to the streets or to prlvate property upon he surface, and they therefore hope to get tue cou- sent of the city and private property owners in time to began the work of con struction about the time the aqueauct contractors finish their present con- | tracts.
 It is also proposed to have storage chambers opening into the tunnels fol the storage and handling of freight, and General Roy Stone, the president of tht company, predicts that in time there wll be another New York under ground where all railroad frelghts will be trans ferred, and where goods not injured by dampness will be stored.
