En- los Estados Unidos Sc siembra e
alood6n en- Abril, y ell etalleo Sc lleva

6co oue Sc cortan todas aquellas yerbas
enneIAuas, que no son necesarias para
mantener la planta en- pie.
Repuarmente los surcos en- que sc
ocha Ia semiIla estan como una distan-
cia de tres pies y las matas Sc dejan en-
los surcos zanjas como una dIstancla
de 10 pulgadas. La mata Sc cultiva en-
los meses de JUNO y Julio.
FL cultivo consisCe en- un pequeno
trabaio de arado con ell fin de remover la
TERRA, extirpar las yerbas con una
azada.
En- ell mes de Agosto ell cultivo Sc

Sc llama algodon de semilla. Esto quie-

adn de la pepita El algo66n de semilla
tiene de peso 1I3 de vell6n y 2I3 de Sc
miIla. Separado ell vell6n de la pepita
Sc usa para la extraction de aceite. Ell
vell6n Sc embala y SO Vende en- ell mer-
cado.
La operaci6n de separar ell vell6n
de Ia semilla SO efect1a por medic de un

don. Estas maquinas pueden obtenerse
para hacerlas funcionar con la fuerza de

mente en- los Estados Unidos, los alma
rraeces Sc hacen funcionar por vapor
fuerza animal La fuerza de vapor es
mas comunmente usada.
Hay dos classes de almarraeces. Lo
de sierra, para ell algod6n ordinario

ses mas finas.

Un agricultor con un caballo mu-
Ia puede recoletar de 10 20 balas de
algod6n en- un afIo.
ST ell algod6n sc vende 6 centavOs

A 12 centaVos la libra, una baIa va

En- los 1ltimos tres cuatro amos,
ell predio ha fuctuado entire las dos ci-
fras anteriores.
Suponiendo una cosecha de Is balas
y que ell precio del algod6n sea 10 CEN
tavos la libra, veremos que un buen agri-
cultor puede hacer 15 balas $50 una.
8 un total de $3.50, y 81 son 20 balas, ell
producto ascenderfa 81. 900.
Muchos agricultores que no son
energicos, no obtienen tan buenos result
tados.
81 un agricultor cultiva Il 20 ba-
las, necesite quien le ayude en- la reco-
leccion del algod6n.
La installation para desmotar & que
me refero anteriormente, es su6ciente
para desmotar ell algod6n de seis mas
agricultores.
Sc fabrica un almarraez para ser
movido mano, que cuesta unos 1926
puede desmotar cerca de media bala dia-
ria.
En- los Estados Unidos ell algod6n
10 cultivan agricultores que no tienen
almarraeces y llevan ell algod6n q la ha-
cienda donde los hay.
Ell algodon ordinario <Upland> Sc
desmota un costo de 81 SO la bala,
con almarraeces de sierra.
Ell algod6n de superior calidad, Sc
desmota con almarraeces de cilindro, al
precio de $5 So la bala.
En- esta forma, ell agricultor tiene
que desembolsar menos capital que 81
tuviese que comprar un almarraez sos
tener los gastos de la installation. Hay
instalaciones en- que Sc emplean alma
rraeces vapor en- donde Sc desmotan
en- una sola estaci6n, de 2 5000 balas.

Car Of Dynamite ExplOdes

A carload Of dynamite in a train
enroute from Prescott to Phoenix
blew mp at point situated about seven
miles north OF Phoenix one day last
week. The car which exploded was
the third in line from the engine. The
fireman saw that the car was on fire
and the train was stopped. The train
had just come 20 standstill when the
dynamite exploded. The freman's
clothes were all blown of and the en-
gineer was badly shocked but no one
was seriously injured.
The engine is n complete wreck and
three or four cars were burned up.
The rest OF the train, including three
cars loaded with cattle, were pushed
back from the blazing wreckage and
thereby saved. The track will be re-
paired so that traffic will not be in
terrupted.
a hole forty feet in length by
eighty feet in depth was torn in the
ground and was felt for miles around.

Another Comst0ck.

On May 18th, 1901, Messrs. +. NJ.
Sturgis, T. A. Taylor and Henry NJ.
Stein discovered the FL Tigre mine in
the Oputo district, Sonora, about fifty
six miles south OF Douglas. They
realized that they might have trouble
in getting possession so they waited
for a year before filing their intentions
and finally got a clear title through y.
&. RiordOn and j. +. Suits who put up
the money. The frs; man who got an
up One-fifticth of the S25, 900 but
finally pulled it down. Some PhIla-
delphia parties neXt secured an option
for 500, 600, but were four days late in
getting their money up. b. f. Gra-
ham 4 Co. then took it in hand on
forty-tive days option at $500, 900 and
closed the deal. For prospect with
no work done we believe this is the
record breaking price. There is three
and a half miles of outcrop on the
vein, which shows up big. Some sam
pies going as high as 100000 to the
ton. The average grade OF the ore is
said to be at $50 gold, not sorted aud
the last shipment went 1876 ounces sill
yer and 40 ounces gold. Last year
thirty day lease was let TO some par
ties who realized so, 900 out of seven
sacks of ore. In the last sixty days
between 700 and 500 feet of tunnels
have been dug and the work IS to be
pushed along without any dragging.
In addition to the $50 men at work
now another 200 will be put on soon.

less than five years ago, and what the
property is today affords most strik-
ing example of how capital, skill and
labor can build up an industry in so
short time. The accompanying illus
trations will aid the reader in grasp
ing the facts herein. According to
reports of the company, published
October 10, 1902, the money expended
in development, equipment and mis-
cellaneous investments up to July 81,
1902, aggregated s7.l9l. .2S7. OF this
sum s3,6S2,072 were expended in the
mining department aud S1,671 ,247 in
connection with the reduction works.
The mineral holdings of the company
aggregate over 10000 acres. 1t is
stated that the cost Of mining, trans
porting, smelling and reducing the
ore to metallic copper amounts to II
cents per pound, which estimate of
