A TERRIBLE FATE.
Miss oline Ho1lander Fatally Burned.
Phenix Republica


 Miss Oline Hollander was fatally burned yesterday at the residence of George w. Hoadley, on the corner of Monroe and Papago streets.
 The girl was in the employ of MT. Hoad- ley, and used five gallon can of coal oil to start fire in the kitchen stove prepar- atory to getting dinner The oil was ig- nited, exploding the can and throwing the fire over the girl and setting fire to the house. She ran out into the yard screaming and enveloped in flames, at tracting the attention of H. Mcdonald who lives across the street on the north. Before he could go to her she had crossed the street on the west side and entered the house of A. c. Baker. Running out again Mir. McDonald's son, George, met her in the door and wrapped his coat around her, throwing her upon the grass plat in front of the house. MT. McDon- ald and Frank Moses. who at the same time ran up. by throwing blankets and their coats around her extinguished the flames.
 Mr. Hoadley and wife. who had been out riding, drove up at this time, and he lost no time in bringing a physician. who ordered the poor sufferer removed to some more comfortable place. She was accordingly placed upon litter construc- ted of a cot and carried upon the shoul- ders of a number of men to the house of her brother-in law, Hans Herlick, on Mar icopa street It was found upon exami- nation that the girls clothes were all burned off, and at least three-fourths of the surface of her entire body was fear fully burned.
 Dr. Helm, the physician called, applied an air-tight antiseptic dressing, covering the whole body and, together with hypo- dermic injections of morphine, reduced the sufferers pain as much as possible She retained consciousness up to few minutes before her death. which occurred about o'clock last night.
 The fire in the house was put out before much damage was done.
 Miss Hollander was a native of Den mark, 21 years of age, and had been in Phenix about three years. She has two sisters and brother. One sister is the wife of Hans Herlick, of this city, and the other the wife of Theodore Hanson, of Tempe. The brother, Andrew Nelson, also lives at Tempe

 In the great Valley of the Colorado river below Yuma, rice, cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, sugar beets, hemp, flax, grapes, corn and all of the vegetables, semi-tropic fruits, such as bananas, pine apples and citrGs fruits can be success fully grown. The Cocopah and Diegino Indians raise three and often four crops on the same piece of land in one season, which lasts from February to Decem- Der.
 The great demand for rooms, houses and hotel accommodations in Yuma sug- gests the fact that the Southern Pacific Hotel should be enlarged at once. The $. r. R. E.

Yuma is the great faYorite inland winter resort and thousands would come here if they cou Id only be sure of finding suitable ac- commodations. Enlarge the hotel. Build more houses.

Duty of Water.
Yuma Sentinel.

l.. NJ Holt. in ths Orange Belt, discour- ses as follows on water fights:
 People not accustomed to the leees- sities of Southern California should take the universal judgment of the people residing here regarding the water right.
 Riverside uses an inch to four acres.
 Etiwanda uses an inch to eight acres.
 South Riverside has an inch to seven and one-half acres.
 Bialto has an inch to eight acres.
 Jurupa has 6n inch to seven.
 Ontario has an inch to ten acres.
 Pomona has an inch to ton acres.
 Alessandro has an inch to four acres
 Different soils and different localities have different requirements so far as wa ter is concerned.
 No man on the coast is better qualified to express an opinion on matters connect ed with irrigation than Mir Holt By competent judges 1t is estimated that our land will demand au inch of water fol three acres. Here where our average rain fall is but ? inches and the evapor- ! ation 95 inches we shall have to provide for larger supply of water for the same area of land.
 A miners inch of water referred tc | above, is that amount of water which ! will flow through ahole one inch square under pressure of six inches. In othel words take board or plank dam, sil inches below the top over which the wa ter flows, cut hole one inch square The water that flows through this hole s considered miners inch.

Fight with a Bear.
Tombstone Prospector.

A hunter named Montgomery nearly lost his life in the Huachuca mountains last Monday He went away from the camp alone to hunt through the hills and soon came upon a bear with two cubs. He shot one of the cubs and would have had no trouble in getting the mother had not the empty shell stuck in the rifle barrel so that he could not extract it. Bruin made for him and, using the rifle for a club he defended himself until the ami nal struck it away from him, when he took to a tree and climbed that, but the bear was thoroughly enraged and pulled him from the trunk as he was making the ascent. After having h1m in her power she tore his flesh in horrible shape tearing the muscles from his legs and and arms, lacerating his scalp and nearly taking one arm completely off The un- fortunate man was found by his compan- ious and taken to the post where he now iss in critical condition.

Walnut Trees.
Yuma Sentinel.

The expense of setting out Walnut grove Is estimated as follows: The cost of blowing and putting the ground in order, trees, planting, and taking care of them for the first year will be about $25 per acre, and $7.50 per acre for each succeeding year. The trees selected should be s years old, nursery stock. which will bear in three years. They should be 50 feet apart with tree in the center of the square which gives 32 trees to the acre.
 Walnut trees g years old when properly cared for will yield 200 pounds of good nuts. The present price is from 12 to 15 cents per pound. which is $24 per tree. While the trees are young, the ground between the trees can be planted with other crops such as beans. potatoes, corn, sugar beets, peanuts and vegetables. If the trees are planted as we suggested 6 few days ago on the deep hole system, and the holes are filled with water and left full for few days, they willneed but little more water during the season. The ground around the tree should be so shaped as to let the water run to it and it will find its way down to and below the roots. As rule the trees will need no other water.

 Under a low-power objective, the sur face of the rock shown by Mir. Hanks was seen 10 be peppered with. small amorph- oas particles of dark color, resembling ing magnetic or meteoric dust When a small surface specimen is presented to the needle, the dehectiOn, both attractive and repulsiye. is found to be greater in pro- portion to size than that caused by the larger one from which 1t is broken Mi croscopic sections are now in preparation. which promise to be of great interest.
 The field of inquiry opened by these discoveries afford q rare opportunity for investigation. It will be particularly in- teresting (knowing that great mineral belts bear generally with the magnetic meridian) to inquire if this polarity is inherent in the rocks or is imparted to them by terrestrial currents and what influence these attractions may have on the deposition of metals in mines or veins.

Narrow Escape.
Tombstone Epitaph.

Word came from Mammoth yesterday that Andy Ritter recently had battle with an extra large rattlesnake and escap- ed being bitten by mere accident. He was walking quietly along and suddenly felt something strike his boot. He looked down and saw rattler that loomed up like big pine tree. The fangs of the reptile had become fastened in the boot and it required several vigorous kicks to make it break it's hold Nothing daunted the reptile made for Andy again and struck him on the leg and foot several times before he succeeded in jumping on it and killing it. The fact of his wearing thick and high boots alone saved his life as he was miles away from anywhere and no remedies were at hand. Our informant states that Andy thought sure he was bit and the fright nearly killed him. He was getting better at last accounts and is try ing to devise some means to see every possible direction at the same time.

Americans in Mexico.
Nnrthwestern Financier-

i Utah gentleman recently returned from Old Mexico, tells the Salt Lake Mining Exchange Journal that Amer icans have about captured the silver mining industry in that country. Form erly, Germans and English controlled, not only the mines, but the people. Now, however, Americans, with American machinery. have about revolutionized mining in the republic. The gentleman visited John W. Mackay's great mines at Hermosillo and Zacatecas, and say that one of the finest mills he ever saw is at the latter place. He also visited Boss Sheppard's mines at Batopilas, and, al though used to seeing large mining oper- ations at home, surprised at those Boss has established. Governor Sheppard is mayor, or alcalde, of the town, and as the entire male population work s.for him in one way or another, he runs things to suit himself.

Good Suggestion

Now that the special agent of the h. dian bureau is here, looking after the in terests of the Wallapai Indians and it is supposed that his suggestions will be considered favorably by the Commission CT of Indian affairs, The Miner urges him to recommend that the Wallapais be placed on suitable reservation and that an efficient agent be appointed to look after them. They are fed by the govern ment about nine months in the year, and as they cannot become sell-supporting it is the duty of the government to see that they are properly cared for, during the whole year, and they should be kept within some bounds.

G. ". Campbell, who is well known here, has returned from Sonora, Mexico. He is working mine in mining dis triet which is located about 60 miles south east of Guaymas, on a small creek called Bavispa, which is one of the tributaries of the lower Yaqui river. The whole dis trict is full of placer gold, as it can be found in all the valleys and gulches, and large number of Mexicans and Indians make living by washing it out in the rudest manner. They dig up the sand and gravel out of the gulches and pack it to water, and in this way they get much as Sl per day. There are several very fine leads in this district carrying

 Late word from Walnut Grove is to the effect that the dam is surely to be rebuilt and on a much larger and a more substantial plan. The new dam is to be fifteen feet higher than the old one and is to be solidly constructed of stone and cement, as enduring as the hills. The construction will throw into Phe- nix, in payment for the supplies here purchased over $l0,000 month.
