A BEAR STORY.
AN ADVENTURE OF E. NJ. REAvIs IN
 THE MOUNTAINS.
An Appeal for Life that Could not be De- nied-Maternal Instinct of Bruin.

E. NJ. Reavis, who cultivates mar ket garden in romantic valley of the Superstition mountains, Is a charac- teristic frontiersman and Is full of stories of adventure extending from Oregon to Arizona. He Is man of fine education, well versed in current events, an hospitable neighbor and full of the fire and energy inspired by a life passed in the open air of the mountains and the chase after noble game. He Is somewhat eccentric in his ways and more so in his personal appearance, but withal a man of kind and gentle disposition to his friends and an enemy to be dreaded.
 He lives alone in his pleasant home in the mountains and cultivates his model garden contentedly, minds his own business and likes other people to do the same.
 During his recent visit to Florence, Mr. Reavis very reluctantly consented to relate little adventure to an EN- TERPRIsE representative and promised at some future time to supplement It with some of his more thrilling eX- periences.
 It was about the first of November, 1888, quite late in the afternoon, he took his gun and dog and went up in the pinery above his house to hunt for bear He roamed about their ac- customed haunts but failed to dis cover any evidences of their recent presence, and finally he went towards a small stream with steep banks, hay ing about given up the search, with the intention of getting drink of water The dog preceded him and, upon reaching the brow of the steep declivity, set up loud barking with it's gaze fixed up the opposite noun tain side. MT. Reavis concluded the dog had sighted deer but he could see nothing upon the hillside to lndi- cate the presence oi any game. Just then he glanced down the creek and. upon the opposite side, a short dis tance below, sitting at the foot Of a large tree, was big black bear with two fairly grown cubs. The bear was looking at him and his movements. Ii ' was good shot, but for time he con sidered whether or not he would shoot it. The scene was such peaceful one and the great eyes looked towards i him with such an expression of con ! fidence in his good intentions that he almost concluded to shoulder his gun and turn homewards. But the natur
 al love of the hunter for game finally
 prevailed over his humane impulse; and he took deliberate aim at its breas
 and fired.

nTohgvsk k Ranch.

MT. Cole Saunders, connected with the Mohawk Ranch Co, Is in the city for few days. Speaking of this ranch and canal, Col. Saunders gave us the following facts:
 The canal is located about midway between Yuma and Gila Bend in one of the choicest spots of Arizona. It is now complete and is eight miles long, car rving 5000 inches of water and cover ing some 1000 acres of land. It Is in first rate running order All the lands have been located and contracts made to take water from the company's sys- tenn. Lateral ditches now cover the whole of it and water can be distribu- ted rapidly wherever required. Two thousand and five hundred acres are now under fence.
 E. B. Wagy, general superintendent, q man of large experience and great energy, is rapidly getting the place in shape to produce large crops ol alfalfa and other food products for cattle. A test fruit orchard has been set out and other fruits are also being putin. h. side of another year 2,000 acres of raisin grapes will be under cultiva ton
 During the present season twelve miles of borders have been made around the land to properly irrigate 1t, and an equal amount will be eonstruc- i ted within the next sixty days. Five hundred acres of alfalfa will be in full bearing by July 1s5 and an additional 800 acres by January lst. The com panv will be large buyers of cattle to consume the alfalfa produced. The intention is to clear the :, 300 acres as rapidly as men and money can do 1t. MT. Saunders says that the
 MOHAWK CANAL co.
 has recently completed a good canal that cost over &100,G00 It carries 10,- 900 inches of>Water and covers some 30,O00 acres of land. Parties who have located under the canal are rapidly clearing and preparing their land for cultivation and putting in orchards of lemons, times and other fruits. They are also raising much alfalfa with the intention of feeding and raising fine horses.
 The ranch of Geo. W. Norton, super intendent of the company, is q sample of what good management and energy can do.
 A number of other canals in the neighborhood havebeen completed and the lands located This is undoubted ly one of the garden spots of Arizona and will some day rival California in productiveness. It has the soil, the wa ter, and the temperature requisite tc the proper cultivation of grain and fruit, and with these advantages nothing can keep the Mohawk coun try from advancing rapidly in pros perity.-Star.

During the wet, warm weather tomato plants have been making extraordinary growth. while setting very little fruit. Good gardeners often run 2 sharp spade down beside tho plants to prune their roots and induce the formation of fruit.
 Among the newer strawberries that seem to have made record the past season over a wide extent of country of sufficient promise to justify general trial, may be mentioned Pearl, Jessie, Bnhoch, Warfieid and Haverland.

The Art of Eating Watermelon.

Eating watermelon is an art. learned only by experience. AS dessert 1t is not sue cess. It falls too heavily on dinner Like pretty girl, it Is best by itself; it loses halt its charm by being mixed in a crowd. The melon should be cold. It should be ripe. Its flesh should blush like graduate. Its heart should glow like a sun kissed cloud at close of day, and its temperature should be as chilly as the smile of Boston belle. When you get such a, treasure do not bother with other food Open it, gaze on it, bury your face in its sweetness, and let your appreciation run riot.-Baltimore American
