No Romance.

We take pleasure in reprinting a
loag but interesting article concern
ing Mr.. w. HI. Randall's recent tiend
near the old Tumacacori mission in
this county. Mr.: Randall is too well
known in Nogales, Arizona, and the
mining West to need an introduction,
for, as the Phoenix G. lzette of May ?,
says, W. Fl. Randall's word is as good
as bond. Then again the gentleman
has had many years of practical
mining experience and is not Liable to
romance where his reputation is at
stake.
The VIDETTE man has talked many
times with Mr.. Randall about the
"Lost Nine at the OLD mission and
he has always stated that he did not
believe in 'The Lost Wine" but that
there were several "L )st Mines" and
he is now confident lie has one OF
them. The ore brought to the city
by Randall and Lrlley has been
assayed and shows up fine. II when
Mr.. Raadall deveIopes his old find it
turns out to be the bonanza he ex-
poets, then we will take off our hat to
to the gentleman, turn the Office over
to the Devil" steal a pick and start
for the old Tumacacori mission to
make our fortune.
MIR. Randall left this morning with
a we'll equipped mining outfit for the
scene of his find. He will clean out
the hole aud hopes to find rich ore,
and plenty of it, but he says he has no
way of knowing what the result OF his
investigations will be. He may find
ore of fabulous richness nd he may
get in return for years of time and
maay dol lars spent, what our illustrious.
countryman, Mr.. Pete Kitchen, got in
Sonora.

We regret to announce the sudden
death of Mr. and Mrs. Cirilo Ramirez's,
little two year-old girl, which occurred
last evening. The little girl was only
i'll twenty-four hours with Group.
The Red House is always abreast
of the times. It never takes chances
on being too late. Mr.. Vasquez has
taken time by the forelock and has
purchased large upto-date line Of
spring and summer dress goods which
he is selling 1T eastern prices. Why
not patronize your home people instead
of sending out of town for articles you
can buy for the same money.
Little Philip Dewey Politzer, the
bright little son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. J.
Politzer died last Saturday afternoon
from the effects of fall received the
day before, and was buried on Sunday
from the family residence on era wford
street. This sudden taking away of
their darling baby boy has been
severe blow to the family, and Mrs.
Politzer has been completely pros
trated. She will be taken in few
days to the country for change of
scene, and it is hoped she will grow
strong and in measure become re-
concileI to her great loss. THE VI

expressing sympathy for the sorrow

duct an experiment in date eiit4i.c..
He is still nominally connected with
the experimental station which will
aid in the management OF tho expert
mens.
A tract of ten acres has practically
been decided upon, near Peterson's
Siding, south. of Tempe. The soil in
that section, it is thought. is peculiarly
adapted to the raising of dates. 1t
contains aikali, which is almost in des-
pensable to the success of date .culture,
and Water rises to within three feet of
the surface. The plants will be irri-
gated for probably two years when it
is thought that they will extend their
roots down to the moist soil, and be
independent of irrigation.
Date palms which have been cult
waited in the valley hitherto have been
very thrifty, but the fruit is of an in
ferior quality. This is explained by
the fact that the plants are seedlings,
and it is just as reasonable to plant
the seeds of date palm as it is 30 ex-
pect good fruit from an apple tree
which has sprung from the seed. Mr.
Tourney sail yesterday that nothing
will be imported for the date orchard
but suckers. He expects about 100
suckers within a month and at the
end of year it is not unlikely that
the whole ten acres will he planted in
date palms. A great variety will be
planted so as to ascertain which spec
les Is the better adapted to the local
conditions. The suckers will come
mostly from Algiers and different
parts OF Arabis.
There will be from 5000 to $10,-
900 expended on the undo taking and
