FALL TREATMENT OF GRASS
LANDS TO PREVENT THE RAW
AGES OF WIRE WORMS.

The parent of the wire worm is an
entirely different insect from that of
the white grub. In this case, the fully
developed insect being the slender,
browDish beetles, known as swapping
beetles on account of their habit, when
placed upon their backs, of throwning
themselves into the air with slight
snap and turning over and alighting
upon their feet. Their life history is
very much the same as that of the white
grub. These are also grass feeding
insects. but while the white grub is
more usually found upon higher lands,
which the female seems to select for a
place to deposit her eggs, the swapping
beetles, or skip-jacks, seem to prefer
the lower, cooler and damper lands. 1t
is for this reason that the lower lands
are more often affected by this pest,
and it frequently occurs that the patches
of black soil among clay will be more
especially subject to infestation. While
it would seem that the harder and more
compact body of the wire worm would
be less susceptible to climate influ-
ences, nevertheless, we find no more
practical prevention of the occurrence
of this pest than the fall plowing of sod
lands, and, as with the white grub, it is
quite probable that late fall or winter
blowing will be preferable. While
this does not, in all cases, insure alb
soluue freedom from the attacks OF
these insects, there seems stronger
probability of their ravages another
year being prevented in this way than
by any other known to us.

LA FORTUNA MINE.
A Interesting Story of Its Early
 Discovery.
The Arizona Republican,

The hrizOna Republican,
 Mir. Tom Lewis was in the city yes terday from the La Fortuna gold mine. Mir. Lewis says that the main working shaft is now down 800 feet and the ore at that depth is of the same quality as that found in the upper workings. The La Fortuna is a gold mine with a remarkable record. It was rich from the grass roots and produced some of the richest ore ever found in this ter ritory.
 Mir. Lewis says the mine in a pros porous condition, and the mine is ex- banding every month. IL has proved beyond all doubt that the greatest val ue of the mine is in the depths of the earth, and the proprietors are getting down on the vein as fast as they can. The average value of the La Fortuna ore is said to be S6O per ton. The ori- ginal ore found ran as high as s4,OOO to the ton.
 Mr. Lewis visit recalls the story of the discovery of this mine, which, like that of nearly all the big mines of the west, was seemingly pure matter of luck. It is told that the original loca- tor had been on publication in which the principal sources of pleasure came from looking through the bottom of a whisky glass. He had arrived at a stage just preceding what is generally known as paralysis, but had enough good sense left to realize his fate if he continued in his cups. He there fore went to the site of the present Fortuna mine and just for diverson began dig | ging, not really knowing whether there | was an ounce of gold within fifty | miles of him.
 He soon fell asleep and continued | his slumbers till the next morning. When he awoke and looked around him he was duly sober and began ex- amining the rock and dirt he had re- moved the day before. To his pleasant surprise he found the bright yellow metal shining from a dozen pieces of quartz. Following up his work he soon found he had prospect worth locating, with the result that one of the best mines in the west is now be. ing worked.
