shooting Affair.

Last Sunday Mateo Estrada, Mex ican rancher living in the Patagonia mountains, came into Nogales and gave himself up to Marshall Flewell- ing. Estrada stated to the officer that he had shot in self defence another rancher named Castillo. Officers inn mediately left for the scene of the shooting and brought the wounded man to town. lie had been shot twice, once in the arm and another bullet had passed through his lungs. The latter wound proved fatal for he died at the hospital Tuesday evening.
 At the preliminary examination held Tuesday afternoon 1t developed that the quarrel between the two men grew out of the question of ownership of an old mine. A few months ago Castillo discovered the property and after telling Estrada of his find, he ap- parently abandoned all interest in It.. Estrada proposed that they enter into parnership and both bear the expense of development. Castillo refused. Estrada's son-in-law filed notice of location on the property. The shaft was cleaned out and after a little development work it was discovered that the minewas of some value. Cas- tillo sent word to Estrada that he wished to see him. They met Sunday morning and during the dispute which took place the shooting occurred.
 Castillo was the aggressor. He fired two shots at Estrada before the later made any attempt to defend himself. He was about to fire third shot, when Estrada knocked his hand up, pulled his own gun and shot him Castillo after falling to the ground fired another shot Estrada, who wa' unharmed, gave up his gun to mar at the mine and came to Nogales.
 After hearing several witnesses several of whom testified that Castillo had threatened to kill Estrada, Jus tice Mix bound Estrada over to answe to the grand jury. Bail was fixed a s5,OOO, then reduced to sl,5o0. Tn same day bail was refused absolutely

THREADING ON LIONS.
Hunter Stepped on Cubs, and Killed
Their Dam.

Hunter stepped on Cubs, and Killed
Their Dam.
While pursuing guineafowl in the
Orange Free State Mr.. G. Nicholson
had dangerous adventure with lions.
He was stumbling along rocky ridge,
he says, when he suddenly trod on
something soft, and instinctively took
a spring. Before l could look round
a fearful growing was heard, and two
lion cubs, about as large as spaniels,
became visible, evidently in a fury
at being so roughly disturbed. Next
moment | became aware of a lioness
rapidly but cautiously making for me.
There was no time to put bullets into
the gun, and quickly decided to
stand still till it became clear that the
lioness meant to seize me. Then, as
a last chance, would send a charge
of shot at her head, in the hope of
binding her, at least. In few mo-
ments the brute was within four yards
or so of me, growing and showing her
teeth. l wished myself anywhere but
there, but forced myself to stand mo-
tionless. Luckily the cubs Joined their
dam, and she halted to notice them a
moment. She came on few steps,
looking ugly, but halted again, then
turned slowly around, and followed by
the cubs, made for huge boulder
twenty yards distant, and lay down
behind it, as | could see by the tail
tuft which protruded beyond the rock.
Then my hunters blood was up. l
loaded my gun, kicked off my shoes,
and climbed the great boulder. was
within three yards of the lioness, VINO
instantly discovered me and crouched
to charge. Taking careful aim at her
breast. l fired and killed her. The
boys at the wagons heard the FIR
ing and came up. The two cubs were
soon caught, at the expense of a few
bites and scratches. We took them to
camp where they were kept for sew
eral months. We afterward sold them
to an American skipper.

Wealth of Alaska,

satisfactory crops. The soil OF the
Yukon valley is rich loan, from the
falling leaves Of the forests, and $50
miles from the mouth Of the river
caulifower, radishes, lettuce, cab
bages, carrots and beets are raised In
the gardens Of the Protestant and Ro-
man Catholic missions. Peas propa-
gate themselves, but beans are fall
ure and potatoes are watery. The
surest vegetable in that region Is the
early turnip, which sometimes reaches
weight of ten pounds.
Alaska Is most particularly the
country of small fruits, no other part
of the world producing so many kinds
or in such abundance. There Is
wonderful variety Of berries, some OF
which, being unknown in the states,
might be introduced TO great advan-
tage. They grow wild over great areas
in extravagant profusion-bright scar
let cranberries the size Of peas, big
Strawberries, raspberries, red anu
black currants, blueberries, gooseber-
ries, bearberies, dewberries, mossber-
ries and roseberries. Traders buy
large quantities Of the cranberries
from the natives who pick them, ship
ping them to San Francisco, and red
currants are so plentiful in the neigh
borhood of Cooks inlet that one may
purchase them for two and a half
cents a pound. The Indians depend
upon berries to a great extent for their
supplies of winter food, crushing and
driving them. while the Russians pre-
pare from them many delicious pre-
serves.
1t is now believed that in the not
distant future the territory will not
only support millions of people with
the fruits of it's own soil, but will ac-
tually export large quantities OF food
stuffs, such as butter, cheese, pork,
mutton and beef. Thanks to the
warm Japan current, which cores
ponds to the gulf stream of the At
lantic ocean. the climate of the south
ern coast of Alaska is rather mild, be-
ing not more severe than that OF
Maryland and Virginia, with fewer
vicissitudes, and in that part Of the
country millions of cattle and sheep
might subsist on the wild grasses with
much less percentage of loss from
winter cold than in the western part OF
the United States. All cereals ex-
cept Indian corn do well, and the
same is true Of most vegetables.

The future of Alaska as an agricul-
tural region seems just now most
promising, says Prof. G. c. George
son, government agent in charge OF
crop experiments in that arctic prov
ince.
Two years ago the United States
government started experiment sta-
lions at Sitka and Knai. the latter
small settlement on Cooks inlet, con-
sisting chiefly of Russians and lndi-
ans, which, on the maps, Is usually
called Fort Kenai, for the reason that
United States troops were stationed
there for a few years after the pur-
chase of Alaska from Russia.
In taking up the work the depart
ment of agriculture got together seeds
of nearly everything in the way OF
garden and field crops that might be
expected to grow in Alaska. Some of
the seeds were obtained from Norway,
Sweden and other parts of the world
where climatic conditions are not I'M
like those of the territory; others
were got from northern experiment
stations, in Minnesota, Wyoming and
Montana-especially the seeds or
hardy varieties of grains
AS soon as the stations were located
experimental plats covering several
acres were laid out and sown with the
various kinds of seeds, and incidental
~ Machining was made in the study
of the prospects for rearing domestic
animals. At present there are practl-
cally no domestic animals in Alaska,
though the country is well adapted
to sheep, pigs and goats, while in the
Sitkan region and on the Aleutian is
lands cattle keep fat all the year
round on the wild grasses. Poultry,
too. can be raised to advantage. The
only domestic animals in the mining
region of the Yukon are cats, kept
to catch mice, and dogs, which are
used for drawing and packing. An
extensive vegetable garden has been
established opposite Dawson, which Is
the capital of the klondike district,
the blowing being done with the aid
of dogs. Occasionally moose, trained

country for blowing. At Circle City
and elsewhere lettuce, radishes, onions,

of the houses. which are covered with
