Grove Fertilizing.
In opening the subject | will say that
| shall try to treat all the interests con-
cerned fairly, and in as simple a manner
lis the technical nature Of the bjocts
permits will endeavor to present to or
ange growers the scientific reasons most
worthy Of consideration i'll dealing with
these much vexed questions.
In the past there has peen great SEN
sitiveness manifested by cOmpounders
and IN anutacturers of complete fertilizers,
and great stress has been placed on the
excellence OF certain fOrmulas--the pri-
vate property OF these parties gained at
great expense (bV the users?) after long
field experience.
In he light of knowledge disseminated
by the experiment stations of the cOun-
try, this sort Of talk il now rubbish. The
methods of calculating proportions and
combining d fferent raw materials, are
now 80 generally understood, and SO
cons; derably prac ticed, that any mention

is mer~ ly for the purpose of comparing
practice with modern scientific Informal
tion.
The use of waste aud low grade ma
terial in the iertilizing OF field crops at
the North, and application of the prac-
tice OF using such fertilizers on Florida
soils, has SO distorted the point OF view
in feeding orange trees. that It'll neces-
sary to go back to first principles. Com
mercial fertilizer manufactures tell us that
crops need nitrogen, potash, and phos-
phOrc acid, but have yet to see salts,
factory reasons given by any one house
for supplying fixed percentages of these
elements in any given kind OF materials.
One OF the first discoveries made in ag
ricultural chemistry experiments, was the
fact that natures normal form OF supply
ing nitrogen to plants was as nitrate OF
potash. Nitrate of potash, however, is
the most expensive OF agricultural chem
icals, and the other materials used are
more or less speedy, healthful and econ
Omical substitutes.
Ifnitric acid could be eabsorbed by plants
without burning them, there would be no
need of potash.
phosphoric acid could be absorbed
without exc, ting corrosive action, there
would be no necessity for lime.
Now, pure nitrate of potash analyzes
54.41-1OO per cent. nitric acid IN OS),
which equals 1870 per cent. potash
(K2oO), the proportion OF nitrogen to
potash being almost exactly three to ten
or adding 4 to the nitrogen to calculate
the ammonia, the proportion Of nitrogen
as ammonia would be 3A to 10 OF potash.
The average of analyses OF oranges
made by the chemists Of our State Ex-
pertinent Station, shows that lime is

found in oranges in very nearly the pro-
portions of reverted phosphate OF lime,
excess of lime usually being balanced by
deficiency of potash, which apparently
would indicate that some nitrogen was
absorbed as nitrate of lime. Calculated
from analyses of the fruit only, the chem
ist estimated that a complete fertilizer

which would equal 5 per cent. ammonia,

These estimates, however, were from
only a few specimens and can hardly be
considered final as to the proper ional
needs OF the citrus as to ph0ephOrlc acid,
for in California where the soil is usually
as rich in potash az ours is poor. the for
mula, figured from similar analysis,
would be 1925 per cent. ammonia, ~
phosphoric acid, and 1O.66% potash.
AS the wood and foliage Of the tree must
be considered as we'll as the fruit, "A larger
proportion Of phosphOric acid than the
above would Indicate is needed, though
not as large as is sent here in many fer
tilizers that are prOpOrtiOned like those
for cereals on the potash soils OF the
North, such fertilizers containing twice
as much available phosphOric acid as
ammonia or potash. In cereals, when
the seed begins to form, there is very
considerable transference from and i'm
pover;shment of the foliage of starch
compounds to perfect the grain, and it
is proved that phosphoric acid, in liberal
supply in the sap, is necessary to this
process.
While the young orange is growing,
there is doubtless somewhat of a similar
transference in building up the tissues
till the juices begin to accumulate; and
as considerable phosphoric acid must be
rendered insoluble by iron compounds in
the soil, we should nearly double the pro-
portion indicated by the Station anal
ysis.
As many inquire if fertilizer cannot
be compounded which contains no waste
material, will state that a compound
one half nitrate Of potash and one hall
precipitated phosphate of lime (27 per
cent. reverted phosphoric acid), would
contain the four principal fertilizing in

1t is little cheaper per unit, and safer

New Mineral Finds.

A. L. Kilman, who has been busily en-
gagged in prospecting for some time in
the range west of the city, arrived in
town yesterday from an absence in the
hills and was busily engaged today in
making arrangements to ship two car
loads of ore to Denver.
Mr.. Kiiman thinks he has made very
valuable discovery in the McDermott
lead. This is the claim that Mr.. McDer-
mott has held for the past eight years,
and recently Mr.. Kilman, j. A. Cokefair
and James Norton became connected with
Mr.. McDermott in trying to find the cor
rect lead. Mr.. Kilman says that he has
fount twin vein of petite ore and they
have named the location Treasury Hill.
An assay was made from this claim two
years ago which run 81, 113 to the ton.
No assay has been made recently, but
Kilman has tested it with blowpi He
believes the thirty tons of ore they have
taken out of the opening is rich enough
to pay well for shipping, and he says he
intends to start out about Thursday with
three teams and haul ore to Lookout,
about eighteen miles distant from the
mines. The lead is fifteen feet WIDE
Gold and silver are blended together in

Sheriff j. ]. Donahue, of Coconino
county, overlook and killed the two
holdups and would-be train robbers near
Camp Verdi the day before yesterday. 1t
will be remembered that several days ago
two men held up the section gang at a
point between Winslow and Williams and
robbed them Of about 500, and also held
up an old man whose duty it is to watch
a tunnel. The desperadoes also piled OBJ
structions on the track with the purpose
OF robbing the train, and fortunately
they were discovered before any harm was
done.
Sheriff Donahue, who is a man of great
determination and courage, started out to
bring them back, dead or alive.
He was enabled to trail them by
the tracks OF the stolen horses
they had with them. Not many miles
from Verdi he came upon the camp OF
the outlaws. The full particulars attend
ing the capture were not given but it was
learned the robbers resisted arrest and
were shot down without mercy by the
sheriff. They were recognized as r. q.
Harris and George Diamond, both OF
whom belonged in that locality. They
had six stolen horses with them.
The east could learn lesson from New
Mexico and Arizona in the matter OF
getting rid of train robbers and hold ups.

WyomIng,s Coal Output.

In September, one year ago, the mines
at Rock Springs, Wy, sent out 200 cars
of coal. This month, just closed, the
output viii fall short OF that about 5000
cars. while there was decrease in the
output OF 9, 600 cars for both July and
August, compared with the same months
in 1892. This is accounted for in the fact
that this year, owing to the general de-
preston of business and closeness of
money, dealers and consumers are not
storing coal as usual, and then consumers
are doing withouta as much as possible by
substituting other fuel.
The Rock Springs mines, according to
the Boomerang, are in shape to make
their product greater than ever possible
before.
The Union Pacific coal mines at Amy,
Wy, are working but small force and
hence the output OF coal is light. The
company pays the men every two weeks,
the present pay roll aggregating some
"a goo or S., COO monthly. 1t used to run
from $50, 900 to 10000.
The Rocky Mountain Iron and Coal
Mining company, usually known as the
Central Pacific, at Red Canon, this state,
