HE WAS ASTONISHED
Member or inc California Board Of
 Horticulture In PhoeRix.

MT. John Isaac, connected with the
 California state board of horticulture
 arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning
 to assist Messrs. Reuck and Rich in
 their work on ''The Resources of Ari-
 zcna" Mr Isaac is thoroughly az
 quainted with every foot of California
 and her horticultural resources, and
 his opinion on this subject is worthy
 of note In an interview with Re
 publican reporter yesterday, he said:
 "I have just returned from a visit to some of your orchards in company with General Ainsworth, and I must say I am surprised at the wonderful fertility and extensive area Of your fruit lands. I never saw finer or more thrifty trees than I have seen today, even in the most favored sections ot California. Your orange, olive and almond trees are absolutely free from insect pests of any kind and are heay- fly loaded with fruit. There is nc reason why the Salt River valley should not become one of the great fruit sections of the Union, rivaiing even southern California in the pro ducticn of citrus fruits. Deciduous fruits seem to do equally well and peaches and apricots are very fine.
 What do you think of our section for prunes, MT. Isaac?"
 "I think it is especially well adapted for the prune. YCur soil is favorable and your warm weather should pro duce a very sweet prune. You have all the advntages of the most favored localities in my own state for cur ing the fruit in your long dry season. I see no reason why the prune should net be a very profitable fruit to grow here With a larger acreage in fruit. packing houses and cannerieS would come, and I should not be surprised f in a few years your fruit will have world wide reputation.
 There is another prominent in dustry in my state that should flour ish here, and that is beet growing and sugar making. Much Of the soil I have seen today is eminently suited for beets and with your splendid irrigation system your crops would never fail This is a matter worthy the consider ation of your enterprising citizens"
 You have noticed our alfalfa felds?"
 @Yes, and I never saw a better falfa in California, and I have seen scme magnificent fields in San Der nardino, Los Angeles, Kern and Tu- lare counties, but I never saw any thal grew more even or presented 9 heavier stand than I have seen today. Your system, too, is splendid With the abundance of water at your command, as well distributed as it is a vast area can be brought under culti- vation. With water and climate ma ture has done much for the Salt River valley and it is evident that your en- terprising people have not been slow to avail themselves of natures offer ings. You have literally made the desert to blossom as the rose, and it is difficult to prophecy what your flu i ture will be. It is certain, however. 1

THE NEWS OF
 MCKENBURC

1 Wickenburg, Arfz., May 21.-(Spec- ial Correspondence Of The Republican. The report Of the incorpcrat ion of tho Amalgamated Copper company given so fully in the telegrapilic news columns Of The Republican yesterday was of special import to these who are interested in ard about Wickep~ burg, as the purpose and samething of the general policy Of this gigantic copper syndicate WAS known to the initiated here some months ago and accounts in large measure for the op- tirnistfc predictions made in regard to the future of Wilk6nburg. The pres ence here today Of some of the people prominently connected with this stu pendC1s copper combine augurs much more than can be made public at pres ent, for the future of the copper prCp- critics about here. MT w. H. Burrage, who is interested in the above na med company, has been here the past few days awaiting the arrival Of two of his associates, namely Messrs. H. H. Rog- CTS, Jr., and w H. BroughtOn, who came up from Phoenix on this morn ings' train. The party was net at the station with carriages and after mIak- ing visit to the Wickenburg mining exchange on Center street. proceeded to the Blue Tank mining district, where they will spend several days locking over the development Of their immense holdings. there. MT. Rogers, Jr-, is the sen of Mr H. H. Rogers, who is so well known to the financial world as one of the most astute of the Standard Oil magnate5, and he repre- +Lo int Of trust on the board of directors Of the Amalgamated Copper company.
 It needs but a glance at the person. nel of this board of directors to con vince any one conversant with the great financial centers of this country and Europe, that while this copper trust is enc of the last of long line of trusts lately incorporated, it is des- tined to OutIank all others from the very beginning and in a brief length of time it will lead it's modest parent, the Standard Oil company. Such is the impetus given to it by the condition of the copper and financial markets Of the day, reinforced by the confidence of the investing public in the men named as its first board of directors. The telegraphic dispatches tell us of the prices at which the stock is now
 
 all classes to obtain a holding of it. We are constrained to add that when the mineral section about here is deemed sufficiently good to interest men and corporations of this char acter the advice of a local Optimist to keep your eye on Wickenburg'' should i not go unheeded. We also note the l arrival here last evening Of c. E. | SlCsser, manager of the Wickenburg | Copper company. accompanied by MT. | Mcfarland Of the well known firm of | Mcfarland Bros., manufacturers of | mining machinery, of Denver, Colo. | These gentlemen, together with Ex- Pert SimRons, left this morning for i the Blue Tanks mining district.

THE ASH FORK SHOOTING.
Lewis, the Tramp, Lodged in the Jail
 at Prescott.

Under Sheriff Johns came in from Ash Fork yesterday afternoon with Ed Lewis, the burglar, shot n the Harvey eating house. Lewis is a young man of fine physique, and, a man of iron nerve. He was shoo in the right shoulder, the bullet ranging across the muscles of the back and lodging near the. arm sbCnes Of the left shoulder. Dr. McNally cut across the mans back, located the bullet and took it out. The ballet was of a 45- cal:Bre and was somewhat battered. The suffering Of Lelwis from the time he was wounded until the operation was performed, Cln be better imagined than described, but he bore it with an iron nsrve. He was Under the inf1u. ence of chloroform when the bullet was taken out. Ed Sternberger, the man shot by Lewis, was in dying Fork Lewis states that he entered the Harvey house to get something to eat. He tock off his shoes, so as not to make a noise. When the men cap tured him they walked him around town in his stocking feet to find an officer, but failed to do so, when they brought him back to the house, tied tim in a chair, and were about to carry him behind the lunch counter when he pulled his pistol on. them and ran out of the door, As he passed the door, the lunch counter boy shot him; as he was running from the house Steinberger, who was passing, ran and grabbed him by the shoulder Lewis thinking that Stein'berger was the man who shot him, wheeled and shot Steinberger. Lewis bail is fixed at S5, 5,OOO.-Prescott Courier
