The Peanut in Florida.

The Times Union of recent date, speak
ing of the peanut, says:
The very sound of the word goOba pro-
claims it's origin. TWAS brought to Amer
ago, and his descendants still prefer the
native designation gOOba, though it has
been rechristened by the less euphemistic
name of peanut. A writer in the Home
Journal classifes goobas in two genera
the Vouandzeia and the Archis, the for
mer known to be African, though the laJ-
ter the product OF our Gulf States, is no
doubt also of African origin, though it
has (Iike the descendants of other foreign
ers) been naturalized so long in America
that it is often classed with tropical
support of the natives of Africa from
Bambarra and Guinea to Natal, which
accounts for their sound white teeth and
sweet breath. The "gooba' and the
Guinea nigger" fit each other as close as
the American gentleman of African descent
fits 'pOssum in his native lair.
Discussing the value of the gOObas the
writer above referred to, says their fra
GRANGE and flavor have made the plant
a source not only Of support, but Oflarge
revenue to the whole agricultural world
of the tropics and semi-tropics. The oil
derived from the seeds by pressure is more
bland and sweet than olive oil; it does
not become rancid, but improves with
age 1t furnishes twO-thirds of the salad
oil sold to-day: and when carefully pre-
pared from the best seeds it is hardly in
ferior to olive oil.
Some months ago a Clay cOuntian
brought to the Times Union office trail
ing annual nearly two feet long, the roots
studded as thick as they could grow with
very small but most delicious clusters of
goobas, which the producer called the
Spanish peanut Their juiciness and fra
GRANGE bore the same relation to the larger
growth that the partridge egg bears to
the common domestic hens egg, and
everyone who has ever tasted a delicate
dish of partridge eggs may know what
the comparison means. The gooba de-
lights in sandy soil, hence there is no one
of the Gulf States equal to Florida for
it's production in the greatest abund-
ance. AS a source of profit Florida farm
ers can find nothing superior to it, as it
is one of the surest crops, not subject to
blight, die back or an uncertain market.
1t should become a staple product in this

Bees Camping Out.

Arizona is the land of wonders and curiosities. The Star has twice refer red to the fact of swarms of honey bees making Judgment in thick bushes and for a time successfully building up considerable amount of comb, but as rule they have been driven off or the elements or insets have destroyed them.
 Mir. Paul Hummer called the atten- ton of the Star yesterday to the fact that he had just discovered large swarm of bees camping out a short distance from his house, on the Cactus ranch. north of Tucson The bees struck tent in thick clump of cat claw bushes, and must have been there six months, for they had not less than fifty pounds of comb honey.
 The comb is formed in the shape oi a heart and is so constructed as to shed the rain, and although it has no shelter save the bushes, it is perfect in every way. Neither sun nor rain has damaged it. The combs are about feet from the ground.
 MT. Hummer proposes to let the campers remain whore they are dur ing the winter, to observe the outcome. He thinks they will require some shelter, to enable them to go through the winter. It would be difficult, per haps, to makes bee keepers in the north and east believe this.-Tucsor | Star

A Murder.

Word was brought to Globe yester- day afternoon that Sabino Quiroz, 8 Mexican wood packer, had been found dead near his camp, about nine miles west of town, on Pinal mountain, and about one mile from the Warnick wood road Sheriff Reynolds, accom- panied by Amado, who brought the intelligence to town, started at once for the scene, and acting-Coroner Job Atkins and jury followed soon after.
 Upon reaching the camp Sheriff Reynolds made a cursory examination of the body and surroundings. It was found that Quiroz had been shot in the back, the ball probably passing through the heart, and came out at the left nipple Quiroz's saddle burro was found dead about 50 yards distant, stabbed in the manner that beef or hog is stuck, and the saddle was miss ing Five of the pack animals were found some distance down the gulch, , going towards water Three of the burros had pack saddles on and two without. The only tracks discovered were the prints of shod pony, leading from where the body was found down to the Warnick road. The camp had been rified of all provisions and blank cts.
 The Coroner's party reached the scene after dark and were compelled to remain over night and at the pres ent writing have not returned, except A. J. Arana, who confirms MT. Rey- holds statement in all important par ticulars. The belief is held by some that Quiroz was killed by Indians. but that is only conjecture.-Silver Belt

Cost of Artesian Wells.
Santa Fe New Mexican.l


 The actual cost of sinking artesian wells, it may be of interest to know, is small. A well 250 feet deep costs but $500 to $500 where improved machin- cry is used, and little more where only horse or hand power is utilized. Be- yond that depth the cost increases rapidly. A 800 foot well will cost $1 300 to $2,O00 and even $3 900 where difficulties of any kind are encountered. In those parts where the sinking of artesian wells is regular business, the rates charged are uniform. They are generally as follows:
 For the first 100 feet, 50 cents foot for the second 100 feet, 75 cents foot for the third 100 feet, $l foot; Be yond 300 feet the cost increases rapid ly in proportion to the depth reached. The cost of the casing depends entire ly upon the size of the well. Some are from two or three inches in diam eter, and from that they vary to ten inches. The pipe will cost from 20 to 50 cents foot, according to size and the material of which it is constructed,

The Artesian Well Project.

Messrs. Vic. Wilson and w. G. Du- mont, of Tombstone, who have enter ed into an agreement with a number of Wilcox citizens to sink for artesian water in this section, arrived here ear ly in the week and at once proceeded to business. The boring machinery, which had previously arrived, was hauled to the location selected for the well-a point on the Dos Cabezas road about six miles east of Wilcox and a mile and half from the ranch of May CT & Sachse-and placed in position for beginning operations. Messrs. Wilson and Dumont have engaged an experienced well borer in Texas, who is daily expected to arrive here, and as soon as he does the work of boring will commence. The Stockman will not, at this time, attempt to "boom' this enterprise, which promises much good for this valley, but will bide its time, believing that when artesian water is secxred will be the proper time to call the attention of those seeking homes to the thousands O. acres of fertile lands, now unoccupied that comprise large portion of the great Sulphur Spring valley.-Wilco1 Stockman.

What Five Acres Yield.

A few days ago we gave an account of the profitable and prudent employ ment of a certain ten acres of ground in Banning. We propose here to tell the story of another tract, of only five acres, that is situated in the heart of Banning, and whose yield is the most eloquent demonstration of the wonder frl fertility of our soil. MT. s. liar graves, the owner of the fve-acre tract in question, says he does not claim to have the push he had twenty-five years ago, nor to have cared for his place any more than in an easy-going, comfortable way.
 Upon the i've acre plot is his house and barn. There is three fourths of an acre of strawberries; and apricots, nectarines, prunes, egg plums, apples, pears and alfalfa occupy the remain der of the tract in unequal parts. Mrs. Hargraves is methodical and keeps a record of all that the place produces and all that is sold. From her we get the following figures, whose ac- curacy we can verify. They show the history of the place for the past year. This years crop is not disposed of. It will be remembered that all the fruit is not yet in bearing. At least half an acre of apples and pears are not yet producing anything; so that taking out the house and barn and the un- productive half acre, the account VIC g;ve is practically of four acres rather than five. Mrs. Hargraves' figures are as as follows.

The man who would undertake to do business in this age by remaining within his store and awaiting purchas- CTS to hunt him and his establishment up, without even an invitation to do so, would soon find that the moths and rust had either consumed his stock, or 1t had been consigned to a Strastee to pay a lanatie's board in some asylum. Advertising is the rec ssognized medium that leads to success Tn business. AS with active business men, so with communities, towns, counties and states. Those that bring business principles into use and make their resources, advantages, etc., known to the outside world are always in the lead. We have evidence of this on every hand. Look at the growing towns that have sprung up in every state and territory ill the west. Does anybody suppose that the respective advantages Of these localities were ac- cidently Hound out?" On the con trary it will be found that money has been spent by the thousands, in every instance, in publishing maps, circu- lars. pamphlets, and great illustrated editions of local newspapers, and the hiring of active agents to see that they are placed where they will do the most good. Few countries, yet un- | settled, and with thousands and thous- ands of acres of public lands, can offer better or more inducements to home seekers to-day than Arizona. Pima county cannot be excelled as field for legitimate investment; the mineral wealth is beyond computation; the stock industry, yet in its infancy, is unsurpassed-it already being an es- tablished fact that the beef fattened on the grasses of Arizona cannot be equaled by any other section of the west, while those who will put their money into agricultural pursuits, or the building of canals, will lay the foundation for heavy profits in the near future. The earlier the day these facts about Pima county and Tucson are heralded abroad the earli- CT will the tide of immigration be turn. ed this direction. The people of Pima county, one and all, are invited to assist the Citizen in it's present work of taking the inaugural step in this matter. Nothing that will attract the eye of capitalists or homeseekers will be omitted from the forthcoming il. lustrated edition of the Citizen.-Tuc

They have crossed the Rubion. The battle is won. To-day our board of supervisors appointed judges and in spectors of the election to be held on November 5, 1889, for choice of dele gates to a constitutional convention in January next. Now let all our sister counties follow suit, and Arizona's delegation will sit in Congress at its session in 1S90.-Phenix Herald.
 This does settle it. All Arizona has to do now is sit quietly and see Maricopa pull her into the union It will save other counties the expense of holding an election. Let us be grateful to Maricopa.-Prospector.

Total profits. $500

Mir. Hargraves has left 500 tpounds of dried prunes. From the alfalfa on his place he could feed his COW the year round and have some left. He keeps one horse and one COW. He has family of six, and these had all the milk they consumed, all the butter ex- cept$17 worth nearly all the vegetables, and all the fruit; also all the eggs. During the year one man was hired on the place for two days Aside from that, the family did all their own work.
 When we first came here we were incredulous when told that ten acres would support family. On the authority of the foregoing figures we could very safely say that less than 10 acres will g. port family. if properly farmed.-Banning Herald.

Up to date, as far as can be gleaned from our exchanges, the only Board of Supervisors that has taken action in regard to calling an election for del egates to a constitutional convention is that of Maricopa. It would now be in good taste for them to drop the matter, as one county holding con stitutional convention would only cast ridicule on the movement for state hood. Having been a consistent and earnest advocate of the movement, and still firmly believing that the proposition was favored by majority of the citizens of the Territory, the Daily Epitaph would suggest that the proper course now to pursue IS to leave nothing undone to strengthen the hands of our Delegate, Hon. Mark Smith, when he shall make an effort this winter to get an enabling act through Congress. But probably even this would be useless, as an act of Con- gress would be a mere bagatelle for our present Governor.-Epitaph.

Looks Well for Pinal.

The prosperity of any communi'y y can always be marked by the prosper ity of it's newspapers. It has been pretty generally heralded abroad that Pinal county and Florence were on the eve of renewed prosperity, caused by the opening up to cultivation a large section of rich agricultural land, which will be watered by the now all most completed Florence canal, and the wonderful developments that are now going on in the mineral districts of that country. The Florence EN- TERPRIsE now confirms all these good reports by announcing that it has or dered a new improved Cottrell power press and will be enlarged to nine-col- umn paper. THE ENTERPRISE has at present no superior in Arizona, as 8 newspaper, but of course will be bet ter when enlarged. Messrs. R. c. and G. w. Brown are newspaper men of well known ability, and they will keep pace with the growth of the country, which means that in short time THE ENTERPRISE will be issued daily. That will be the next step forward.-Citizen.
