Cherries Yield $500 per Acre.

Last week marked the close OF
the cherry season. The farmers
are we'll pleased with the produc-
ton OF their cherry orchards as
they derived considerable benefit
from the sale OF this fruit. The
cherries as a rule have been we'll
formed and OF excellent flavor. A
great many have found their way
to Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo markets and others have
been sent east to Kansas City.
These have averaged nearly 81 per
crate. The bulk OF the crop, how
ever, has been sold to the Barlow
Canning Company. and the price
received was 40 cents gallon.
John Harbert, proprietor OF the
Hdrbert Orchards, reports a yield
OF 600 crates from four acres or
I5o crates OF six gallons each to

Rocky Ford's Coal Nine.

The Rocky Ford Camel Coal
Association is a group OF Rocky
Ford men who. some two years
ago, made start to open a coal
mine IN the The Cedars, IS miles
south OF Rocky Ford. Last year
considerable amount OF fair
quality OF coal was furnished,
mainly to farmers, who purchased
it at the mine at 81 per tou.
During the spring and summer
much development work has been
in progress. The tunnel has been
driven 100 feet deeper into the
hill, making a total depth OF $50
feet Here the coal is found to
be OF better quality and the vein
somewhat thicker. also having an
upward slope which gives the
mine much better drainage than
heretofore. Before the winter
shall arrive large amount of coal
will be mined and On the dump,
so that customers will not have to
wal, for loads as they did last,
winter.
Such faith have our coal min
ing citizens in the value of their
enterprise that they have filed on
another 100 acres of lind near the
mine. Ford Enterprise.

THE MINING INDUSTRY
CHA COUNTY MINES.
A Budget of Items From the Globe
 Mining District.

The entire mine force at the old Dominion went to work again this morning and smelting will be resumed tomorrow. The production of coppe! for December was the largest in the history of the mine-over 100000 pounds.
 The Globe Mining company is hav- ing it's Mineral Farm property sur veyed and will put on a night shift in the shaft next Monday. The com pany began development work on We'd nesday on their gold property in the Pinal Mountains.
 The Saddle Mountain Mining com pany of which George B. Crittedon IS general manager, made the final pay ment through the First National Bank of Globe on Tuesday to Jas P. Fauli. P. Oates and Oliver Swingle on four coal claims located in the lower basin of Deer creek coal fields.

TO clRcuMveNT OPPOSITION
Reorganization of Old Dominion Under
 Laws of Maine Planned.

A special to the Globe Silver Belt from Boston says: The old Dominion situation is changed to the extent that the management is planning to incor- porate a new holding company under the laws of Maine instead of New Jersey. Afidavits will be filed in court on Monday next in reply to the suit brought in New Jersey courts, but nothing further will be done under the New Jersey law.
 President Smith says there is noth- ing whatever now in the way of car rying out the consolidated plan, and he anticipates that stockholders who have heretofore assented will agree to the new agreement.
 Rumor regarding a pending com promise with the Fitzgerald interest is given an emphatic denial.
 Conditions at the property are re- ported to be satisfactory and earn ings for the current month are antici- pated to be ahead of anything shown in the past.
 Old Dominion shares have shown slightly increased activity during the past week and sold higher than for some time past. At $11 the closing price of old Dominion today the stock showed a good gain and the fu- rure for it Is more hopeful than for some other copper shares.
 An official circular issued by the old Dominion management provides for a new holding company to be or ganized under the laws of Maine, with capital stock of 35O,O00 shares-13s, 900 are apportioned to acquire the United Globe mines and $350,000 cash additional to be paid by the Phelps. Dodge company; 150,000 shares to be issued to the holders of stock in the old Dominion company and 62,000 shares to go into the treasury for de- velopment and operating purposes.
 The new company will have seven directors, three representing each of the constituent companies, and they to choose the seventh member of the board.
 Holders of negotiable receipts have until January IS to give assent to the new proposition.
 Deposits of Old Dominion stock un- der the old merger plan aggregated 139,S SPA shares represented by $50 shareholders,
 The injunction presented a difficulty in that under the New Jersey law the company must furnish proof that the property to be merged is worth the par value of the stock of the proposed consolidated company.
 The Phelps, Dodge interest is op posed to long, drawn out litigation. The new plan seems simply the assent to stock already deposited.

Baby Finds Bottle of Carbo1ic Acid

anu Df1IlkS III.
While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk little Is months old baby
got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his
stomach was SO badly burned it was
feared he would not live for he could
not eat ordinary foods. The mother
says in telling of the case:
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing
would lay on his stomach. Finally I
took him into the country and tried
new milk and that was no better for
him. His grandma finally suggested
Grape Nuts and I am thankful I
adopted the food for he commenced
to get better right away and would
not eat anything else. He COM
menced to get f1eshy and his cheeks
like red roses and now he is entirely
well.
IT took him to Matamoras on visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape Nuts and I would
have to explain how he came to call
for it as it was his main food.

attended the baby are DR.. Eddy of this

RAMSEY SINKS $4,000
Scheme for Raising White Bears Level
Is Abandoned.

Ramsey county has about determined
to abandon it's unique scheme to raise the
level of White Bear lake. Two years ago,
when the lake got wet in shower and
was shrinking visibly; some of the county
officials conceived the idea Of raising the
lake level. They sunk expensive wells on
the shore, and then, as the water ran in,
they planned to pump it out upon the sur
face of the lake. Anybody can see that
by taking the water from the bottom Of
the lake and spreading it out in success
sive layers over the top, the lake level
could be raised indefinitely. However, no
provision was made for holding up the
body of the lake with supports or braces
to keep it from settling as the lower strata
were withdrawn, and there were other
features which have marked the scheme
as impractical. Some $4,000 has been
spent already in wells and other work
which is to be abandoned. 80 4
