from seventy-six trees which growing on
land owned by the Southern Pacific company

seventy-six trees yielded a fraction over ten
tons of splendid apricots The apricots will,
according to figues of fruit men. amount to
$500 pounds of fried fruit, and the fruit has
already been sold at % cents per pound de-
livered at the Corning depot which means
that these particular seventy-six trees yielded

ninety trees to make an acre of fruit, 1t is
safe to say that this acre of ground was worth
this season fully $1,000

With more than $20,000 in good hard cash in their possession and the allegation that they had $11,. GOO more in bank in San Francisco, Haki Washita and two female slaves were caught attempting to improperly cross the line at Naco yesterday, through the vigilance of Immigration Inspector Jones of that station. The man and the two women were turned back with the information that they could not come into the country, because of the law forbidding the importation of lewd characters. The women were proven by witnesses present to be inmates of houses of i'll fame in Cananea for long time. Later investigation determined that while the man professed to be engaged as a merchant, he was in reality nothing more than the owner of the women and that the entire sum he possessed had been accumulated through their degradation.
