BAND CONCERTS.
Something We Want And Must
q Have.

The Mesa Brass Band ass an or
ganization, seems likely to- go out
Of existence. The boys have been
I to a great expense for uniforms,
instruments and instruction and
find the problem of keeping togeth-
er without outside help, a serious
one.
The organization is equal to any
ia the valley, at the Phoenix street
fair they were the best possible ad-
VI tisement Mesa could have sent
down and there music on that oc-
! casion caused much favorable COM
iment:, Since then they have
greatly improved, they have prac-
ticed regularly and been to the ex.
pense Of an instructor. Durina
the summer they had hoped to give
weekly concerts, but lack Of funds
to continue the. instruction, make
THAT impossible. :. :
l77sDurilg the long summer even.
II'ings, band concerts if they can be
arraigntd d would be a most attrac.
tive addition to the usual monot.
, oliy between supper and bed time.
It would bring people to town to
do Their shopping and listen to the
music and show public spirit and
enterprise that would be q distinct
credit to the town.
l. The FREE Press wants to see the
band a success, and we believe that
every public spirited man, woman
ana child in the community win
aid us in the effort to make it one.
I'VE can have weekly concerts
concerts throughout the summer
for $50 per month, just enough. to

this can be taken in merchandise.
II this SUM can not be raised we
will loose the music and probably

will subscribe 81 per month to this
good cause. If you can help send
us your name and the amount you
will contribute, large or small, It

AEsw Words Concerning 3 Vsfy
Important Matter.
MESA, ARR, March 20, 1901.
Editors Free Press:

E01COfS Free Tteee:
Noticing in some recent issues d
syslr paper your endeavors TO brinl
totha peoples attention the mat
/, ter Of the dying out Of orchards and
vineyards in this locality, and what
this state Of affairs is to bring ui
to, ! would be glad to say . few
words also upon the subject.
We csn,t.atford to be without oui
lorchAsas shd yineyArda, 10 which
Epoiia, ,sas nj isfsi w ila 2lRosl
arrived now Oasfb bare houses fol
homes. with nothing growing
around but alfalfa fields, is not
enough The latter are all right
in their places, but the home is NOT
all right without any garden OF
orchard, vineyard or shade trees.
The writer feels that the sitna-
tion, though at first view might
seem discouraging-fn finding our
selves now where we are-yet with
q proper interest on the part of all,
and with . right understanding Of
the cause Of this present condition,
we may with assurance look for
ward TO the time when the same
will be chinged, and feels safe in
predicting for this valley, not many
years hence, such change en- this
line as will be a surprise to most Of
Fus.
: As you, Mr.. Editors, say, it is
through lack Of caae thst our or
chards are dying out. And Why
have they not been cared for? It
seems to follow as a natural conse-
'quence in the development Of q new
country, and the writer remembers
when the same point wss reached
in California. But ID .California
nov Ne zee that. the orchards and
vineyards are taken care Of, and
arc prolific and profitable, and
comprise much of the beauty and
wealth Of tho State.
This condition Of decay and dy,
ing out Of orchards, ETC., comes Al
F. result Of the ideas entertained by
Tho early settlers. Whey they plant
their trees they are. not thinking oi
profit, or even Of the same being .
very important' factor to their in.
teEest, but only have in mind thst
they will Be somewhat Of : home
convenience 70 them. Their bust.
ness is altogether on other lines,
and their trees only get secondary
consideration.
Thus in course Of time. in the new
country it's people come to find their
Eorchards and vineyards dying out.
The people then 20 to looking for
the csuse, as we will do here. They
conclude that, If we are going to
have orchards we must take care Of
them.r = Some lead out and take
care Of their trees, and come to have
the satisfaction Of seeing them do
ing we'll, and they also make their
profit out Of them. !. Then others
follow, and tile time comes Tin .

MINING ON THE DESERT.
New York Capitalists Arranging For Heavy Operations Near Barstow
 and Daggett.

The company operating at Bagdad
 has recently milled 1000 tons of ore
 at the Barstow mill, which yielded S17,111. The 5O-stamp mill at Bars
 tow and the cyaniding plant, with a tankage capacity of 250 tons daily, will soon be removed to the mines eight miles south of Ludlow. There are now in sight in the mine from 100000 to 3OO,OO0 tons of ore valued at Sl1 per ton, and these figures will give better idea of the value of the property than any amount of mere description. Senator Chauncey De pew is one of the directors of the com pany, and E. H. Stagg is the general manager. They are now to be ex- plotted on a large scale, as men rep resenting S40,0OO,000 of capital are behind the enterprise, and stock can not be obtained at any price.
 The Bagdad Mining and Milling company filed its incorporation papers this morning. The company's office is located at Rochester, New York, but the company will operate mines near Bagdad. The capital stock is and the papers state that the company will have S200,0O0 with which to do business.-San Bernar dino Transcript.

4 Dirge for Papers Dead.

And ever the papers come, And ever the papers go, The little paper born to die When we have loved them so! Some are the highest art, Some are the highest fun, But each "comes to fill a long-fel
 want"
 Each and every one. Some are brutally frank, Libelous, personal, smart. Some with pictures and prose and
 verse
 Are-Well, we will call it "tart." Some of them flight for the right, Say they will never yield. Some follow fad, good one or bad, But each has "a particular field" Some have an "angel" behind them, Some one with money to burr" But most are born with nothing but
 nerve And the hopes of what they will earn. Some are quite unpretentious And begin in the most modest way. Some clang their cymbals and beat their drums, And shout, "We have come to stay" Some in their second issue Boast of the power they wield, But, cheap ones or dear, there's not one will appear, But has tits particular field" Poor little things, their requiem sings In the words, "our particular field"

he mortally wounded James. He
 then fired at Younst, knocking him
 down, and was on top of him beating
 him, when James raised himself from
 the gutter and fired three times, kill ing Preacher. Both James and
 Younst were dead before assistance came. A warrant was sworn out by the deputy chief of Police for Brock man, Preachers attorney, charging him with murder. He was put in jail. It is said that Brockman ad- yised Preacher to use shot gun if an attempt was made to arrest him.
 The whir of factory wheels, the presence of a population of a thou sand, streets full of children, busy stores, traffic and all that goes with a manufacturing place was life in Edi- son, N. J., two years ago. Now six families make up the village, and soon only four will be left. It's all because the Edison works have not been operated since 1900 and the ma chinery is being moved to Mir. Edi- sons other plants. Just before the plant shut down the company com pleted about 100 cottages, each cost ing not less than S1,0O0. Less than a dozen have ever been occupied and the nicely graded and macadamized streets of two years ago are now covered with dry grass and dead weeds.

ABOUT ARMY POSTS.
Albubuerque's Delegate Has Returned From Presenting that City's Claims
 for Military Recognition.

H, B. Ferguson of Albuquerque, who was one of a committee selected to go to Washington to present the claims of Albuquerque before the military board for a fort, has return ed, and in an interview with the Citi- zen of that place said:
 "The board is to ndvise as to the abandonment of existing posts as well as to make recommendations for es- tablishing entirely new posts. Their report is to be made to the secretary of war, and through that official and the president it w,n doubtless be sent to congress, which alone has power to make money appropriations for any purpose, but it Is certain that the ac- tion of this board as to location of new posts will be accepted by con gress without question and therequis- ite appropriation made. Therefore the important place to make a fight is before this board and l am told many hundred applications have been made for the establishment of new posts at various points. Delegate Rodey, Mir. Cromwell and myself ap- peared before the board in behalf of Albuquerque. Delegate Rodey and I both made statements in behalf of Albuquerque and at the request of the board we afterward filed a care fully prepared written statement, which is to come before the board for its consideration. We were fav- orably received and courteously treat ed, and the situation looks favorably for Albuquerque = far as can judge. l think orn arguments were made in favor of no other point than Albuquerque because soon after we had our hearing an order was issued by the secretary of war prohibiting any oral hearing before the board be cause too much time would be con sumed, and applicants were limited to filing written statements. The sec retary of the board told me he thought the board would finish its labors thi. present week and presume nothing definite will be heard until the board adjourns. No intimation was mad, by the board as to their word and tn, conclusions at which they had ar rived

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE
Of Ore in Con o'Keefe's Sonora N. & N. Company's Mines-big Body of Ore Which Goes Five Hun Dred and Fifty Ounces
 in Silver.

Those who have invested in Cor
 O'Keefe's Sonora NJ. x NJ. Co. are
 destined to become rich, if all signs
 do not fail. Mir. O'Keefe is in Los
 Angeles now having a lot of ore
 treated and arranging for the pur- chase of fifty ton smelter to place on the property and just as soon as this one is installed another smelter of equal capacity will be purchased, as larger bodies of ore have been found than was anticipated. A letter was received here today from Nogales which stated that a body of ore two feet in width had been encountered in the mine, the ore going as high as $50 ounces in silver alone, besides other values. When Con O'Keefe said he thought he had a mine that would prove as big as the Cobre Grande, he believed every word he said, but if the mine con tinues to spring the surprises on him in the future that it has in the past it will not be long until he will be able to produce as much silver as the Co bre Grande does copper.

Last Nights Play.

Huebner's strolling players opened a weeks engagement at Dake's opera house last night, and were greeted by a splendid audience. The play "Mar ried Life," was presented by the com pany in a way that demonstrated to the audience that this is one of the best companies that has ever come before our people. The play itself was not only most satisfactory, but the specialties between the acts were splendid, consisting of songs, dances, a stump speech and a trapeze act, the latter being specially fine.
 Tonight the company will present "The Great Steel Strike" play said to be very strong indeed, and those who were there last night need not be told that the bill will be given full justice, and those who attend tonight will undoubtedly enjoy great treat.
