Strawberries in two Months.

Last January A. B. Shearer drop ped telegraph ticking and camped out under the Arizona canal, at the end of Center street. He planted oranges and every kind of temperate and semi tropical fr11its. All his trees, bushes and vines are doing nicely. The new orange shoots measure six inches al ready. For week past MT. Shearer's family have been specially revelling in delicious, ripe strawberries. About 19 acres were planted in this fruit less than two months ago, and near the middle of February, on raw, unbroken land To-day the vines are green and healthy, yielding enough berries for the family use- Next year there will be enough for the whole valley. Such results from two months cultivation of desert land are simply another proof among many, of our remarkably quick and prolific soil in Maricopa county Phenix Herald.

Stone gave . lift last week and this team hope by the last of next week to raise the subscription to $I 300 to $1 800 here and vicinity. With this amount subscribed the Parson can make an appeal to his friends in the East and the added argument that the church must be done by the time the court house is completed, by November next, he will have no place of worship he believes the means will come. Let the citizens make a 'long pull strong pull and a pull altogether" and they will have one Protestant church in this place. Let their Catholic friends who were helped so generally by the entire community in erecting their own house of worship. lend liftin g hand and show that they are truly catholic in spirit

Now, don't get the idea that l am prospectOr. 1 am a miner.

 "Down on what they call the Pla- ceritas is the richest gold field I ever came across. The free gold runs from SIP to $l5O per ton. There is no mill there and that is a drawback; it costs $35 ton to get the gold out now, | taking the ore out on mule-back and putting it through the arrastra process, which is only grinding it to a sort of | pug mill, with horse or mule power, and yet thousands of tons of ore have been so taken out and treated by Mex jeans and Americans"
 "Where are the Placeritas?"
 "Just six miles west of Walnut dam on the Hassayampa river-that burst out little while ago, you remember. It Is in an isolated spot and timber Is very scarce but there is plenty of wa ter. l am going to try and get capi- tai interested and have mill erected.

 "Is it near the gold fields?"
 "Yes, just adjoining them. I have @ magnificent vein there; it has been uncovered along the surface for two miles and is rich, rich. I had three tests made, and the lowest ran $131 and the highest 1866 to the ton.
