THIS WOOD PETRIFTES.

w. F. Porter has now discovered a tree in Mexico. called by the natives the "chijol," which is of a most remark, able nature.
 If all that is alleged of this phenom- cnal tree is correct It will some day re- Volutionize the stone trade. The "chijol," or the stone tree" as MT. Porter designal,es it. is of enormous proportions, both in circumference and height. IL has quite number of branches, spreading cut widely and car lying leaves of yellowish green color, something like the myrtle.
 The wood is extremely fine and in a green state is easily worked, and is not given to either warping or splitting.
 The wonderful pat about 1t is that after being cut the wood gets gradually harder and in the course of a few wears 1t is absolutely rstrifed, whether left in the open air or buried in the ground.
 As the wood does not. even in it's completely petriied state. change either its color or it's finely grained appear ance, it offers indeed great Possibilities for new and artistic embellishmenl S in the style of our buildings. both inter- iorly and exteriorly, besides the ad. vantage of it's being freproof.

TEMPE

The report that the jury In the case nf the Territory of Arizona vs. Jose Mendosa was not properly sworn is open to doubt as nobody seems abso- autely sure that the jury was or was not sworn; but the wording of the yer dict shows clearly that the jurymen re- gardeG themselves as duly sworn. Jus Iice Tomlinson Is morally certain lthat they were sworn. The verdict reads as follows: "We, the jurors duly impanel- ed in the above entitled action. upon our oaths find a verdict of guilty"
 Hyder Brothers announce that the Boston Bloomers may be the champions of the diamond, but the Boston Store is champion of low prices.
 Sam Korrick. proprietor of the New York Store of Phoenix, was a visitor in Tempe yesterday.
 Jas. F.. Sturgeon has lot of Mir. Rowbothams cantaloupes for sale. They are very good notwithstanding the lateness of the season.
 When anything once gets started it Keeps going. Since the Boston Bloom ers' game in Phoenix there has been baseball talk on every corner in Tempe. and the result is that a game will prob ably be played in Tempe next Sunday. If the plans materialize the Crimson Rims will support the honor of Tempe. and some Phoenix team will try to 'drag it out of 'em." Nothing definite has been done regarding the game as yet.
 The Tempe Hardware and Supply Co. has just received a shipment of guns. shotguns and rifles. Now watch birds and small boys-and grown-ups. too mix things.
 O. c. Smith will open an eating house fin the building next to the Tempe house on the north next Monday. He says he will serve short orders and long orders, or any other brand. He wishes to get p list of regular boarders as well.
 Mir. Rowbotham was in Tempe yes terday on business ond he told some interesting facts regarding cantaloupe rulture. He says that although water was very short the average yield around Mesa was 100 crates to the acre. Not much land was put into can Taloupes, only about 12O acres being mentioned at the meeting when the Cantaloupe Growers association was formed but when the shipping began 1t was found that only 20 acres were actually in the association, and the crops near Phoenix were very shor, This part of the country did very well. shipping 270 crates one day and 22O another, and so on. A ear holds 400 crates, and it takes two tons of ice to ice it. The melons were shipped to Chi cago and found ready and profitable sale The returns of the association are not in yet, but judging from the last years figures of the Indo, Cal asso- ciation, the industry pays well.

car. As 400 crates make car, and 100 crates can be raised to the acre. this would indicate a yield of $500 per acre. Beside the cantaloupe season is short, and a second crop of corn. beans. etc, can be planted on the same ground. The Arizona associa ton started ship ping July . and shipped about two weeks, but many hundreds of crates were shipped after the association stop ped shipping. An associa ton will be organized next season at Mesa. and 1t is thought that about 25 cars at least will be shipped. They will be iced at Tempe and fifty tons of ice will be re- quired for them. There was consider able dissatisfa ction expressed at the treatment the Phoenix growers accord ed the others in the mapner of cars
 The cars were held at Phoenix even when the Phoenix daily shipma ms were only thirty crates at the time Mesa was sending 220. and paying cents per crate for sending them to Phoenix.
