cheap gravity water to be had In the Imperial settlement.
 The rice crop of Louisiana now aver ages about 125, 900 tons per year, or 12.- 800 carloads of ten tons each.
 There are now used to harvest the crop of that state 4.500 twine binders.
 The average yield of rice is 15 bar rels to the acre. In speaking of the Imperial rice crop as yielding 10 bar rels to the acre. this means the aver age of the field, much of which did poorly because of lack of proper atten- tion and late planting.
 A writer on rice culture in Louis jana says: How does rice growing compare with cotton? We grow 1920 pounds of rough rice per acre, as 2 good average; this equals 1000 pounds of clean rice of the several grades. Average price four cents per pound, equals $40; 250 pounds lint cotton and 800 pounds of seed is a good average yield of cotton; 250 pounds of cotton at four cents equals BIO, and 800 pounds of seed at SIP ton equals 8, total SIS, as against $40 for rice. How about wheat good average is ten bushels, suppose we say fifteen, at an average price of 60 cents a bushel, equals $9. As against SEQ to $30 for rough rice. Corn gives an average of $S to s13, oats rather less and hay less than oats"
 This statement was written three years ago, when prices were lower than now and the comparisons as regards wheat. oats and hay were made with crops and prices in the northwest. Of course, wheat and hay give better yields and better prices here in I'm perial than the prices above quoted.
 The income for the rice fields of Louisiana range from $25 to $75 per acre.
 A sack of rice consists of 225 pounds | and the mills charge fifty cents per sack for cleaning that amount. The modern rice mill Is an automa- ton of complicated machinery, into i which the rough rice passes and finally appears ready for the market graded, sacked and weighed at the rate of 20,- | GOO to 100000 pounds per day, accord | ing to capacity.
 There were in Louisiana in 1897 9 modern rice mills that had a capacity for cleaning 10000 barrels of rice per | day.

A SNAKE STORY.
And the Worst of It Is It Is a True
 One.

Messrs. Charles F. Nathhorst, metal lurgist for the Hydro Carbon Shelter company, and F.. D. Treadwell, man. ager of same company, had quite mar row escape from an unpleasant adVen- ture last week. They were examining an old shaft, and had been down the ladder, and were going up again, when Nathhorst, hearing a buzZing sound, stopped to listen. What was his horror to discover a rattler twined around one of the ladder rungs, just even with his breast. At first he did not know wheth- CT to go up or down, but as he carried a small hammer. he managed to dis patch the reptile before it could get in position to strike.
 It is a wonder how Treadwell passed without disturbing it, but it was prob ably due to the fact that MT. Nath- horst carried a lighted candle, which may have awakened it. In going down an old shaft it is we'll to be very careful for rattlesnakes are frequently found in them. They fall in, and cannot get out again, and are good and mad by the time the first intruder approaches Prescott Prospect.

200 feet seems to have encountered this ore zone.
 The Arizona Colorado Copper Belt and Gold Mining company is making fair progress in the development Of their property four miles north of Globe. The shaft sunk on the hanging wall, is down 150 feet, and will be car ried down to water level, which will probably be reached at 200 feet No crosscutting has been done yet. Punches of very good copper ore, car rying gold. have been encountered in sinking the shaft.
 Superintendent l.. M. Teale and Gates Jackson were in town on Tuesday from the Yo Tambien mine on Pinto creek They state that the mine is looking we'll and that there will be an abund- ance of ore in the drifts to stope when the mill is ready to start up. The shaft is down 360 feet and the ore body at that depth is widening and holding its values and the ore changing to pyrite of copper. The concentrating plant will be finished about December 15.

THE BROPHY GROUP
Copper Glance District a Most Invit-
 ing Field.

The hills are full of surprises down in the Copper Glance district. says the Bisbee Review. Not only that, but on the mesas and across the little sunny valleys and in the creek beds, the om- ni-present copper bodies are sticking their noses up as if they were so crowd ed by each other beneath the surface they needed breath. Especially is this true of the Brophy group. Owned by Mike and Billy Brophy, Allie Soles, Stewart Hunt, John Bell and John Con- nelly, the property embraces eight claims joining the Copper Glance on the south and southeast, and carrying all the splendid surface indications ot that great property with it. The Bro- phy group, ideally situated, covers the undulating mesa and little valley just south of the Glance. Thence running up onto the chain of abrupt buttes on the west offspring splendid facilities for development operations. Under the guidance of that veteran mining man, John Connolly, we were shown over the property sufficiently to estimate its general character and extent. There has been no development of any conse- quence on this group, but a dozen dis covery and assessment holes, none more than fifteen feet deep, disclose re- marka ble prospects. In nearly every instance the presence of ledge in place was suggested by slight croppings within three feet from the surface. a solid ledge or a deposit of undefinable extent is almost invariably encountered being composed of fair grade carbon ates literally sprinkled with copper have been brought to light principally on the Bell, the Alice and the Colurl- bia. fine deposit of iron appears on a low butte on the Hunt. The lime and iron contact is suggestively prorn- inent. Entirely across the group, and if ever there was an inducement for the owners of a prospect to dig" that inducement exists on the Brophy group. The profession with which high grade copper ore appears on and near the surface would set most mining men wild, but those conditions are so com- mon in the Copper Glance district that one familiar with the locality is not adequately impressed with the magnifi cent showing all about where Dame Fortune is holding her fair arms out to them, while they roast their lives up in the smoky city and leave the one great

CULTURE OF RICE
That Industry Promises Much in the
 Imperial Country.

Great interest is now being mani- tested in the culture of rice under the imperial canal system, says the Im- perial Press.
 Recently MT. J. F. Elder of Pomona, a gentleman we'll versed in the culture, visited Imperial to see what the pros pect would be for engaging in rice cul- ture on a large scale. He investigat- el the crop raised here the firet seas on and was amazed at the result thus far obtained.
 Rice usually yields from 12 to Is barrels of grain per acre. The I'm perial rice crop was put in late last season by people who knew little or nothing about the business and yet he states that the crop is of excellent quality, although a little short of a full crop-the yield being estimated al 10 barrels per acre.
 So well pleased was he with the out look that he secured a half-section of land on which to cultivate rice. He be- lieves that he can make three times as much money on rice crop as can be made on wheat
 So sanguine is he of success that he Is now engaged in getting friends and relatives to secure land for the samC purpose, with a view to securing the erection of a rice mill that shall pre- pare the crop for the market.
 Rice is a great crop in southern Louisiana and southern Texas Tho crop is so valuable in that country that the people can afford to pay a rental ol sS an acre for the use of the land anG S5 an acre for water. All the water ir that country for use in the rice fields must be pumped and it is therefore ex. pens.ve water as compared with the

opportunity behind. It is reported that the promoters of the Brophy enterprise contemplate doing business immediate- ly. Lumber is on the ground presum- ably to erect shelter for those employ ed in development work. Most of the parties interested in this group are gen. tlemen or ample means and emient business capacity and after looking over the field the one paramount ques tion is. Why have they allowed these magnificent prospects to lie undevel- oped so long? It is to be hoped that in the near futre, development operations will be instituted on this promising property, on scale commensurate with the dazzling prospects in sight There must be a great mine inside of the boundary of the Brophy group.

KEEPING PROMISES
Phoenix Appreciates Always When
 Promises Are Kept.

Every time you read about Doan's Kidney Pills you are told they cure every form of kidney ill., from back ache to urinary disorders. How are our promises kept? Ask any citizen who has tried the treatment Ask the man who makes the following state ment:
 H. T: Diehl, miner, of 15S E. Alameda St, Tucson, Ariz., says: My experi- ence with Doans Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claimed for them. In the month of February, 1902. ] first felt slight pain across the small of my back directly over the kidneys. probably caused by a cold settling in those organs. It was not serious, yet it struck me if neglected it might lead to future trouble, and reading one night in Tucson paper about Doan's Kidney Pills my daughter went to Martins drug store for box. I took them as directed and when I had completed the treatment the pain in my back disap- peared. I was so surprised at the prompt and efficient relief given by Doans Kidney Pills that I recom- mended them to number of my ac- quaintances and even went so far as to mail box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blanco who had kidney trouble ''
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into The Brisley Drug Co.'s drug store and ask what their customers re- port.
