Money in Fruit this Year.
San Francisco Bulletin.

A. T. Hatch, the Sqisun fruit grower, said the other day: "Eyery one who has fruit to sell will make money this year. This is one of the best things possible for California fruit for it will show east ern people our capabilities, but we will not begin to supply the demand. l have now an offer out for ali the peaches in my locality at 31a cents, regardless of color, and 1 am holding mine at cents a pound Last year I sold peaches at l l5 cents meaning $SO per ton and full $S0O an acre.
 1 am not selling any of my Bartlett pears under S4 box, which holds 40 pounds Most of my boxes will not hold over eighty pears. This means l get over five cents a piece or ten cents a polnd fer my Bartletts. My trees are from to 15 years old, 1 have fifty acres of Bartletts which will average ten boxes | to tree. At $l a box this means $40 a tree, or about $3,000 an acre. l have one | tree which last year yielded twenty-slS boxes of Bartlett pears. 1t is an old pear tree, nearly two feet in diameter, and prafted to Bartlett stock. That tree yielded me $25 the first year 1 bought my place, yet for five years l was foo enough not to plant more Bartlett pears But there are just as many fools near me for to-day many of them have nc Bartlett pears. | am snre m, pears this year will average S1,00t per acre. Peach plums have not borne hundredth crop this year, and almond and silver prllnes are very light. M. pears will be my best crop."

Vineyard Peanuts.
rr.yet AAYoente.

G. w. Archer, who owns d colony tract in Kitchener colony, about one and one half miles northwest of Traver, last year set out two aud one-half acres of peanuts between his yonug zines. The grape vines were only one year of age, but bore considerable last ear, and this year the 2-year old vines were heavily loaded, proving that the peanuts did not iniure tho grapevines; but, on the contrary, Mr. Archer is of the opinion that they helped the grape4ines by retaining the moisture in the soil. Wheh he harvested his peanut crop last fall the ground an- derneath the peanut vines was full of moisture, after the long, hot summer. Mir. Archer estimates that there were 300 sacks of peanuts pfodnced on the two and half acres. Out of curiosity he one day pulled up a vine and counted the nuts | thereon and found 500 He will this year harvest the entire crop of volunteer pea nuts and expects to realize a handsome sum therefrom. He found 2 good de mand for the nuts in Trayer, Fresno and San Francisco. He realized triile ovel , cents a pound for all he harvested | Had he gathered the entire crop from the two and half acres he would have real
 ized the snug sum of $600, or $24O pc
 acre, and this of of land set to raisiI
 grapes.

A HEARTY SMOKER AT FOUR.
A New Jersey Boy Who Began Using To-
 bacco When a Baby.

Winfield Doran Is known as the smok- l ing baby of Trenton. He was 4 years old last May, and he has been using the weed for over three years and a half. He IS bright boy, with big black eyes and round rosy cheeks. His picture says the Philadelphia Press, could be used to adorn juvenile magazine as a good | specimen of happy and healthy American boy. His mother is a buxom, good natured woman. The father, w. T. Doran, Is a small thin man, and for many years he has been an inveterate smoker. The taste for tobacco was i'm parted to the baby Winfield and he be- began puffng tobacco smoke when only months old. The Dorans reside at 303 South Warren street, and keep boarders. | The baby was the pet of the household and the pride of the bachelor boarders, who devoted each evening to nursing him. While listening to the nursery songs he learned to smoke. The men would allow him to puff on their pipes and were astonished to find it did not make him sick.
 When he was & months old he smoked rank pipe full of tobacco and never as much as made face. At 10 months he was an accomplished smoker of the pipe
 
 an abnormal one. He had every appear ance of thriving under it. The neighbors were shocked and many of them indig- nant, and Dr. Elmer Rogers was called. He discovered no traces of nicotine poisoning and found that the tobacco had soothing effect'on the child. who was weaned early, but never denied pipeful | of tobacco every day. Now he tips the | bpqv1 af fOrtXy fiva ,1o11pJ,
 Both mother and father are proud of this precocious youngster, and they never | tire reciting "reminiscences of their boys 1 career as a smoker. During the last two years they have encouraged him to smoke cigars in preference to the pipe. This is q precaution that they have taken at the request of the physician, who thought that the nicotine deposits in old pipes might eventually be hurtfql The boy evidently crayes the effect of the poison because he will not smoke a new clay pipe or new hrier pipe, preferring to gel one that has been well saturated with nicotine. He prefers strong cigars, and is fine judge of them. He attracted much attention when he was pushed about in haby coach with black pipe i'll his mouth, smoking and puffing like 8 veteran. He can now be frequently seer sitting on the steps of his fathers house smoking a cigar.
 The baby smoker differs from the ma jority of the prodigious smokers in se much that he has never smoked a ciga rette. The odor of the paper is distasie ful to him, and he has been constantly in structed to avoid the cigarette as ht would so much poison.
 The boy has never been known to be sick, and Dr. E. Rogers is of the opinion that it is only matter of few year when he will have his appetite for tobac co appeased and will give up smoking Since the boy has been smoking he ha watched him almost daily, with view o discovering the first symptom of nicotin poisoning, and has found nothing.

A Bold Scheme.
Prescott Journal Miner

The examination of Tim Hawkins to- day, on charge of assisting prisoners in the county jail to escape developed well laid but desperate plan on the part of the prisoners to attempt to gain their liberty. Hawkins was arrested July 1st and discharged the following day. For the sum of $l0, he agreed to deposit steel saws, wire, chisel, small crow bar and two reyolyers and ammunition ill the jail yard. The money was paid to him and he fulfilled all his part of the contract except the most important, that was fur nishing two reyolvers. On gaining his liberty, Timothy found himself short on guns. The plan was, in case these guns had been furnished, to hold up Jailor Hickey as he opened the door in the morning to allow the prisoners to carry out their night buckets, and in case of his refusal to shoot him. They then pro posed to take his gun and, going up stairs, surprise and hold up Deputy Mclnernay, secure the guns ill the office, rifle the safe of its contents and make their escape. This was the plan as outlined by one of the prisoners themselves. Fail ing to secure the pistols which Hawkins agreed to furnish them, they used the other tools, 1t will be remembered, in an attempt to dig their way out through the room of the board of supervisors or the 4th of July At the conclusion on the ! testimony, Justice Andrews ordered the | prisoner discharged from custody.

A Narrow Escape.
Tucson Star.

Mir. Charles Stevens, the milk man, had narrow escape yesterday. He was driving home to his ranch in the valley. and attempting to cross theswollen Santa Cruz, when near the western limit of the stream he with his horse and wagon were caught by the current and swept down the stream, the wagon being turned over with MT. Stevens under it.
 In this situation MT. Stevens horse and wagon were swept some distance down the stream, when some Mexicans on the bank went to his assistance and got him out safely. The wagon was damaged, the milk cans swept away and the horse saved, but 1t was narrow escape. No one save milk man could have possibly survived such shock of water.

Iron for Trees.

Ina pleasant hour passed with J. Nj. Bass ford, Sr., Vacaville, says a correspond ent of the Rural Press, we learned some points that seem too good to keep. Near the house, in hard ground, he showed us Bartlett paar tree, about ten inches in diameter, from which he picked two boxes last year and then weighed 1340 pounds of the balance of the crop. making APO pounds from that one tree. It is now we'll set with another crop of pears, and is remarkably luxuriant in foliage MT. Bassford says the secret of this and other remarkable yields is in fertihzing with iron filings orcopperas, this tree had a pint eupful of iron filings about it; nothing else unusual. Mr. Bassford had known for a long time that driving nails or spikes into trees would induce fruit-bearing, and after ward noticed that where a sink had been disinfected with copperas its drainage had produced wonderful fruitage. Last winter he contracted for eopperas by the ton to apply to his trees, but the wet weather and bad roads interfered witt he experimented his plans, at his sons place in Napa with few trees, without letting them know. Now they art wondering why these few trees bear st much more than the others.

Good for the Lambs

It is sad that governor Wolhey's pri- vate secretary has been appointed secre- tary of the territorial loan commission at 2 salary of $l00 per month. In the name of the taxpayers of the territory, what services is this secretary called upon to perform that he is paid such salary, and for how many months Is this salary to runY This loan commission, will Tn all probability not be required to meet more than four times a year. The entire work of the secretary for the year will in all probability, not exceed at most, fifteen or twenty days Now the sum of S10C per month is most extraordinary for the services to be performed, and especially when this salary is paid to the private secretary of the governor who has numer ous other duties to perform and for whicl he is paid and which duties occupy near ly all of his time. Here is another oppor tunity to reform the public service.

Good Prospects.
Phenix Gazette.

The prospects for the stockmen in south ern Arizona are better this season than they have been for years. In the Supersti- ton range we are informed that there is more water and earlier feed than there has been at this season of the year for the last five years or six years. For the past three weeks water has been abundant in all of the little canyons, thus allowing stock to roam at leisure without having to travel more than they are able to get to water.

There was nearly BOG tons of ice stored in the building also a lot of beer. In the stable adjoining were MT.

Water Storage.
 Citizen

Col Martineau left this morning on a surveying trip a few miles beyond Fort Lowell, to survey the course of a pro- iected canal there which if found prac- ticable will when finished, be of im- mense benefit to Tucson. It is intended to make water storage, taking the waters from the Rillito. To do so the reservoir will be dug down about 10 or 12 feet, taking out the gravel on the surface, to the water tight stratum below. This it is thought will save much water that would otherwise be lost. It is estimated that this canal will irrigate from 5000 to 12,00O acres, which means homes for about 800 families.
