The Gila Bend Leader says ranch
ers are busy. UP and down the
river, and along the canals, ditch
ing, clearing, irrigating, and plant
ing are going OH at a great rate.
Nearly every man in town either
owns ranch or has an interest in
one, so that in these days if you
look for man in town you ar.
met with the information, "He j:
down on the ranch," or, He has
Just gone to the ranch" All this
sounds we'll, and is certainly en-
courAging. Some fine large spring
showers now, assisted by the ditcn
es later on will insure q prosperous
year to this section, and we are
deserving of all the prosperity that
may visit US, for we are long pa
tient, and somewhat sorely tried
community of too early corners.

Oar Oranges.

President Collins of the chamber
of commerce yesterday received
letter from Bruce PerIry in charge
of the Arizona exhibit at the Mid
winter Fair, says the Repahlican,
saying that the Salt River valley
exhibit of oranges had heen award
ed u premium Of the irst class.
This is the first formal recogni-
ton the Suit River valley has ever
received and it naturally caused
great deal of elation to learn that
i was so pronounced.
Only three awards were made in
this class and they were deternsfn--
ed upon points of excellence APP
preaching standard of 100 points,
In this class the number of points
were required to exceed &c. Only
one exhibit was given q higher
place than the Salt River valley
exhibit anG that only exceeded It
by three points.
Those of the second class fell
between 80 and 80; those OF ths
third class between 70 and 80. The
Phoenix exhibit consisted of fruit
shipped there at the opening of t,c
fair while the California displays
consisted of fresh picked fruit.
The decision of the judges OF
award is after all only modified
confirmation of the opinion OF q
large majority of visitors to the
fair who pronounced the fruit from
tins valley superior in appearances
and favor to any other in the ex-
position
The triumph of the valley is due
in some measure not only to the
excellence of it's exhibit but to the
activity of the gentleman in charge,
Mr.. Perley. The effect of the
awards cannot but be highly bens-
ticial to the valley and will result
in the attraction of a large number
of fruit growers who would have
come before if they had known any
thing of the adaptahility Of the
country to citrus fruits.

Well Under way.

Nj. Wormser, an old-time citizen
of this valley, on whom fortune has
smiled quite lavishly, has become
interested in two propositions re-
Gently, that of the coming of the
railroad from Prescott and the cul-
tivation of beets for the manufac-
ture of sug,r With his usual
sagacity M Wormser decided that
the best way to find out about these
things was to 90 to the scene OF
operations and investigate for him
self.
|. Some days ago. Mr.. Wormser
started for California and stopped
at thH Chino ranch, so noted for
beet culture. Here many farmers
we're interviewed on the subject
and the big sugar factory was in
speeted. The success of this in
dustry has oeeu so good, said he,
that the company are increasing the
capacity of the already big plant.
Farmers told Mr.. Wormser it was
easy to obtain $50 All acre from
land sown to beets and that good
beet land was worth fro 5000 to
$500 an acre. 1t is not all land
that raises profitable sugar beets,
said he, but as rule dr. ger lands are
best. The manager of tho farm
told Mr.. Wormser he had man in
Phoenix who would give away
sugar beet seed this season and
superintend the planting or sowing,
and lin the fall have the product
aualyzed. Mr.. Wormser brought
some seed with him. which will be
sown in different places on his
various ranches near Tempe, and he
will make q thorough r-st.
II learned much didn't know
BEFORE" said he. ''aoout sugar beets,
how to sow and cultivate, aud also
that to get good returns they mus
be gathered and worked up just at
the proper time. If they do we'll
here there will be no trouble in
getting a factory for working them
into sugar"
"How about the new railroad z
"Well," said Mr.. Wormser, II
came back over that line from Ash
Fork to Prescott and down the line
where the men are at work. The
Southern Pacific or Atlantic &
Pacific have no engines so big as
the ones I see on the new road.
They are Gne ones, four of them.
The roadbed as far as is done is the
best kind Of work, and the cars
run very smoothly. I rode out this
side of Prescott SIX miles, or as far
as trains can run now. They are
hauling bridge timbers down that
far and then loading them on
wagons. Lots of bridge carpenters
are at work, and in Skull valley l
saw good many men grading"
elbow many men are there at
work altogether Z"
.I don't know. They hired fifty

1000 men are on the line. There
is little work not yet completed
between Skull valley and Prescott,
but not much. Field, Lincoln and
those other Chicago fellows came
to where the engineers stop this
side Of Prescott and then got in a
wagon to 60 to the Congress mine.
1 think they are interested in it,"
"When do you think they will

"Oh, don't know, but they are

A HAPPY AUCURY,

What have our Republican friends to
say about the situation at this stage of
the game? We mean the particular bust
ness situation that New Mexicans are
mostly interested in, such as wool, lead
and cattle. The increased sales of wool
at advanced figures and the fact that lead
went up IS on ton the second day after
the passage of the Democratic tariff re-
form bill will furnish the high protection
idiots with cheerful things to think about
for some time to come. How do they ac-
count for it, any way, that 80 marked a
change in these commodities, in which
the southwest is SO vitality interested,
should be developed in so short a time,
if, as they claim so vociferously, the coun-
try Is going to the demnition bow-wows
because the Mckinley tariff is to be set
aside?
And as for beef cattle, off which the
Wilson bill takes all the tariff, look at the
market to-day and see what intelligent
national legislation is helping to do for
that industry. All this is but an augury
of the good times coming when the nation
is given true tariff reform by the action
of a Democratic senate in enacting the
Wilson bill into law.

NEW MExlCO'S MINING OUTLOOK.

Every indication points to mining
boom OF moth proportions through
out New Mexico this year. Thus early it
may be said that there is more activity
in the mining camps of this territory
than at any similar period in years, since
1882, in fact, when the coming of the rail-
road brought an influx of prospectors.
During the past six months probably not
less than 1000 prospectors from Colorado
and the northern states, where the rigors
of winter prevail, have invaded New Mex
leo, and the influence of the presence of
this hardy class is shown by the reports
that now come daily from almost every
mineralized district within our borders,
particularly from the quartz and placer
gold regions. And silver and copper and

lead producing districts are also being
benefited by these and other causes.
The spring season opens with four new
gold camps in full blast and the old ones
in better shape than ever. Look at Black
mountain in Dona Ana county, Amizett
in Taos, Cochiti in Bernalillo and Badly
mountain district in Colfax. Then there
is Hillsboro, soon to have new railroad,
the old reliable Pinos Altos and White
Oaks regions, while in the placer fields of
Taos, Rio Arriba, Lincoln, Sierra and
Santa Fe counties modern methods are
only now getting a foot-hold and are
sure to result in great progress before the
summer is half gone.

To run newspaper without occasion

offense, is like running railroad without
having accidents. 1t can't be done. No
man in this world is so likely to be i'm
posed upon as is the editor of a newspa-
per. If, therefore, you find yourself
aggrieved by statement in your home
paper, bear this in mind: "Don't fly off
the handle, but go to the editor for cor
rection, and take our word for it, nine
times out of ten, if your statement is cor
rect, you will be received like gentle
man, and the correction will be made with
pleasure. '-Deming Headlight

IrrigatiOn-The Duty of the Press.

Nearly all The states and territorial IT.
rigation commissions have been made up
and an active campaign will soon be
inaugurated.
party of speakers comprising some
of the ablest irrigators in the country
will visit nearly every section of the west.
These speakers will discuss the va
rious suggestions for national and
state laws and also local land and water
problems which will be taken into ac-
count of in perfecting future plans of de-
velopment.
The first of these meetings will likely
be held in this territory, beginning at
Santa Fe. Opportunity will be given for
general discussion from the floor. The
object of these meetings is to arouse
public opinion and pave the way to some
national legislation looking to the re-
clamation of the public lands. These
meetings will be very instructive and
should be attended by every citizen of
the territory that can 60 and who has an
interest in such matters. Every news
paper man, especially, should be there
and full reports of the proceedings
should be given to the public through
the columns of their respective papers.
In the great work that is about to be
undertaken in the cause of irrigation the
press is the great dissemination of Ideas
and should be at the front in work.
