from the Fancher Greek nursery. These
trees were planted very close together at
the rats of 126 to the acre. He sold 116
pounds of dried figs at elk cents pound
and lot of poorly cured ones at three
cents pound. The best he put up in
one-pound cartoons and sold them at
twenty-five cents. "
The yield of this crop from seventeen
trees at the price he obtained represents
an income of $711.90 from single acre
of four-year-old trees. He is now an en-
thusiast on fig culture.
He did very we'll with half an acre of
raisin grapes, four years old at the pres

SUDDENLY FLOODED.
A Lake Turned Into a Colorado
Mime by Blasting,

DENVER, January 25.-A Leadville,
Colorado, special Gays: This morning
when the men engaged in drift of the
La Plata mine had fred round of holes
they were astounded by hearing a noise
resembling the rushing Of mighty
river, and when the smoke cleared
little they saw from where they stood a
river running out of the drift. They
barely had time to escape with their
lives, and in less than five hours the
mine was flooded to within 270 feet Of
the surface. Four thousand feet
OF drifts are submerged. and thousands
OF feet of slopes are submerged. Many
think lake was encountered, and that
when an opening was made by the shots
it burst through the thin barrier and
flooded the mine. If it proves to be a
pocket of water very valuable mineral
will be found behind it, as that has been
the rule heretofore. In this case the
water can be pumped out in thirty days,
but II it is water course the mine will
have to be abandoned.

BREEZY WEATHER.
Western Colorado Visited

A TRAIN BLOWN OFF THE TRACK
The Coaches Take Fire and th,
Passengers Narrowly Escape
With Their Lives.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HrpA,n
DENVER, January Pa tremendous
hurricane prevailed in the western part
Of the State this afternoon. AT Berthoud
the wind blew sand into cut. A freight
train WAS wrecked, and the engineer and
fireman were fatally hurt. At Monument
q Rio Grande express train was blown
from the track near the depot. Two
coaches and sleeper were burned. The
twenty passengers were rescued with
the utmost difficulty some were bruised
and burned, but none fatally. Much
damage was done by the storm in
various portions of the State. 1t is
irumored, but not confirmed, that several
men at grading camp on Pixies Peak
were blown over precipice and killed.
DENVER, Janusry .25.-A Monument,
Colo., special says: The Rio Grande ex-
press, which left Colorado Springs at
5 80 this afternoon, was blown from the
track at Monument depot. Several were
wounded. The porter of the train was
badly scalded. The wind is blowing a
perfect hurricane. Several houses have
been unroofed.
The two coaches and sleeper which
were blown from the track Immediately
took fire, and for few minutes it looked as
though the twenty passengers i'm prisoned
would be burned to death. The hurri-
cane famed the flames into furnace,
but by heroic efforts the trsinmen sue
ceeded in extinguishing it before any
person was burned.
Among the passengers injured are
Assistant General Freight Agent Zim-
norman, of the Rio Grande; none of the
others were fatally hurt.
The wind storm seems to have been
general throughout the State, and in
many towns no littlo damage was done
to buildings, telephone and telegraph
wires. 1t is reported that the wind was
unusually severe on Pixies Peak, and
that at q railway grading camp half way
up the mountain, several men were killed
by being blown over a precipice. This
report, however, is not confirmed.
A freight train on the Colorado
Central, when near Berthoud, ran into q
sand drifs which today's hurricane had
blown into the cut. The engine and four
cars were wrecked. Engineer John
French and Fireman Richmond were
fatally injured.

the Santa Fe rails, or by an independent

An Industry which Promises Good
Returns.

A gentleman who has for years been
engaged in the great perfume factory of
Solon Parker, in New York, has called
our attention to the great profit that can
easily be made here in the simple article
of oil of rose geranium. The supply of
this product is less than half the demand.
A pound of oil of rose geranium is
worth $40 in New York and all of the
European cities. At one time last season
the oil was sought after by perfume
manufacturers at $15 pound.
Here in Southern California, the home
OF the geranium, where the plant grows

is just the very section where largo
income can be had from the production
OF oil Of geranium. Last year about
1925, 900 worth of this oil was imported
from France, Cuba and the Bermudas,
where the geranium does not begin to
flourish nearly 20 well as in California.
In Europe over $500 900 worth Of the oil
is used annually. The matter of produc-
ing this oil in Southern California is cer-

A CORRESPONDENT, who visited the
Provincial Penitentiary at New West
minister, British Columbia, gives an &C.
count of how he found G. Hamilton
Griffin, the smoke. ball man and general
dead-beat, who fourished in this city
during boom times. The "doc" was
working in ditch with other convicts,
but gave no token from his appearance
that his situation disagreed with his
health. In the "doc's" cell was found
quite library, all of religious books, and
the inference is that he is diving into
theology with a view to abandoning
the medical and taking up the ministerial
profession when he comes forth from his
forced seclusion. If he should do this, he
will become still more dangerous to
society when he emerges from prison
than he WAS before-always taking 1t for
granted that Griffin is beyond the pale

Ingalls's story of His Brother.

Senator ingalls, tells story of his
brother, DIR. Ingalls,, who is at the head
of an educational institute in Missouri.
DR.. Ingalls, has puzzled the community
of which he is a member by remaining
in a lonely state of single blessedness
not only puzzled, but, in some de-
gree, offended, for the doctor is a
most agreeable msn, and there are in
the community some very agreeable
women. The matter was discussed at
many sewing circles, and finally one old
maid volunteered to convey the sense of
the community on the subject to the
offender. When she called on the doctor
she put the question rather bluntly:
Doctor" she said, ''the ladies are
very anxious to know why you have
never married in these many years you
have been among u.s."
"Madame," said DR.. ingalls,, with all
the euavity of manner which he could
muster up for the occasion, "you may
inform the ladies that at least it has not
been for lack of opportunity"
And it is said that the doctor is not
nearly go popular now among the ladies'
of his acquaintance as he was before the
inquiry was instituted. IN. Y. Tribune.

ounces is the regulation extent of each
