A correspondent of the Bisbee Re-
view says: ut would appear that
vast cross section of the San Pedro
valley, including that territory con-
tiguous to Benson, is destined to be-
come an agricultural paradise in the
convenient future. 1t has been prac-
tically demonstrated that sufficient
ariesian water can be developed for
the purpose of irrigation. Boring for
artesian water has rarely failed to be
successful, being struck in this section
at depth of from 800 to 900 feet.
Along with this happy outlook, Pro-
fessor Lee, of the photographic service,
and the best authority On the subject
in existence, predicts another stratum
OF artesian water at a greater depth.
Moreover, government assistance to-
ward the construction of the Charles
ton reservoir is almost assured. This
enterprise alone would mean ample
irrigation for 100000 acres.
A Lawrence, Kansas dispatch says,
DIR. Frank Snow, with a small party
of university students, has been bug
catching in southwest Arizona. 1t
may be interesting to know what a
bugcatcher regards as successful
expedition. DIR. Snow brought back
$4,000 specimens, all pinned and
labeled, of which some 100 are new to
science. OF these 5,43O are beetles
$500 are flies, 1926 are butterflies
and moths, and the rest run the list
of bees, wasps bugs and insects. The
butterflies and moths were collected
at night by spreading on tree near
the camp mixture of beer and mol
asses. DIR. Snow has made two ex-
peditions during the sumMer vacation.
The regents appropriated for this pur-
pose $4,000. The grand result was up
ward of $4,000 specimens. On the last
trip he secured 100 specimens of
beetle that is catalogued to sell at 81
per specimen. The whole collection in
Kansas university is exceeded in the
United S tates by that of Harvard
alone.
The Bisbee Miner IS out with
another double loaded article to the
effect that w. G. Greene has been
ousted as the head of the Cananea
Consolidated Copper Co. 1t is
noticeable fact that nearly every time
one certain man of Cananea visits
Bisbee that visit is followed up by
scarehead article in the Miner to the
effect that "W. 9. Greene is out"
Then for a few weeks follow the less
highly detonated assertions that sit is
only question of time when Greene
will be out" This part of it is all
right, for really it is only question
IF time when he will have no say in
,he management of the affairs of the
company, From present appearances
5he properties of the company will be
producing copper in large quantities
,or hundred years or more and GER
