night had finished the job and the weather would have to be clear now. BRIDGE INJURED AGAlN--About. all that could be learned at the M. & P. office yesterday was that there was more trouble and that the Maricopa line is again out of business. The passengers that left Thursday night walked the bridge at the Gila. the train not attempting to cross Before morn ing there was nothing left to walk on even for two or three more bents of the bridge had gone down stream to join the thousands of timbers that have been swept away before. There was in consequence no traffic either in or out yesterday, even by transfer nor will there be today. Somewhere on the lower reaches of the Gila river, there should be the largest and finest collection of second hand railroad bridges to be found anywhere in the world.
 SECOND CROP oRANGES-Dr. D. l.. Livermore has brought to the board of trade something of a novelty in the orange line. He has a number of trees that for some years have been produc- ing the ordinary naval oranges, smooth skinned and in every way a good quail ity of fruit. Last July after the rains
 
 crop of oranges was in process of de- velopment, the trees bloomed again and brought forth another crop which he Is now gathering. The fruit of the second crop in quality seems to be the same as the first crop but in appear ance is much different. It is covered with rind that in places is almost an inch thick, is coarse grained and war ty and looks almost like an Osage orange in point of texture. Though the second crop oranges, by reason of their thick skins, are much larger in gen. eral appearance. than the first crop fruit the meat or the real fruit of the oranges of both crops, is about the same size.
 cOLONIST TlCKETS-The last week or so the Santa Fe offices here have been receiving numerous requests for information concerning opportun- ities for employment in Arizona as we'll as for investment and home building. This is the result of the an- nounced date for the selling of colonist tickets to Arizona which will begin March Is and be in force for month as was the same rate for a month last fall. These tickets are regular one way tourist tickets and the rate from Chi cago is $33 and from Missouri river points $25. The Santa Fe is making extensive preparations in point of equipment, for handling this traffic and will have an ample supply of tour ist cars at their various eastern ter minals. It is is expected there will be a big rush for a week or two at least. In response to the inquiries mentioned above the local officials are calling attention to the opportunities opening up in this valley and also to the extensive work that is expected at the Roosevelt dam during the next year or so and that will give employ ment to a great many men.
