Energetic Inhabitants Have Got Most

Considerable fruit from the Mimbres

says the Silver City Independent
There has been considerable specula.
ton as to the future of this rich sec
ton OF the country since the disas-
trous food OF last year, and for time
II looked next to impossible for the
farmers and fruit growers along the
river to repair their land. II is learn
ed that the greater portion OF the dam
age has been repaired and with the
prospects for good crops and quite a
fruit yield. the inhabitants on the
river have every reason to be happy
these days. A. j. Goforth, one OF the
leading fruit growers and farmers Of
that section. was in town yesterday
on private business and Il was learned
from him that the Mimbres has begun
to look Itself again. or course. some
farms. notably the Perrault, will be
years In getting back to Its original
value. but the larger number of farms
are now substantially repaired. The
hrst crop Of peaches was fairly good
and have now been marketed at q
fairly good price. Within ten days
the second crop Of peaches will be-
gin to ripen. and this crop promises
to be a large one. Present Indications
point to a small crop Of apples on the
average. but withal, the MimBtes.

Mr.. Nudge was then asked whether

HAS MOVED 2t,oov CARS.
Santa Re Proves II Can Ship Fruit on
It's Own Wheels.

To date a few more than 10000 car
loads of citrus fruit have been shipped
from California to the east this season.
II Is estimated that the toal number
Of cars shipped for the season OF 1903
4 will amount to at least $4,000, or the
record by wide margin over previous
years. The Atchison usually handles
about 60 per cent OF the traffic. which
would bring Its showing up 20 about
$1,000 cars, an increase OF more than
5000 over the previous year. The i'm.
portance OF this lies In the fact that
the company has handled all the ship
ments In its own cars this year and
practically none has been given to the
private car lines.
