MESA NEWS ITEMS

The growers have experienced a little anxiety on account of the i'm mense crop which is just being fin ished in California, but MT. Woods
 is of the opinion that on account of the extreme heat in the east, a greater demand will be made for the luscious fruit, which will naturally keep the price at a good figure.
 The "aphis" which last year af- fected the crop in some localities, has not made its appearance here, and the indications are that there will be no trouble experienced along this line unless continued rainy season should set in.
 It may develop later in the season that shortage of help will exist, but it is believed at the present time that with the men imported from some other districts, that all de- mands made for labor will be satis fled. The shortage will probably be in packers. It is highly essential that experienced men be put in Charge of this part of the work, for it means not only a saving of time to the packers but to the inspectors as well to have only shipping melons taken to the sheds and cars.
 However, these are points which come up from year to year and have to be met at the time, but above all, this, the main fact remains. that Mesa is going to have the biggest crop ever, and in the next month will be the busiest place this side of the Denver convention.

thereto by the persistent efforts of several parties to homestead the land. All indications are that the patent will be granted.
 Considerable interest Is being mani fested in the proposal to make the Santa Catalinas and the Baboquivaris into government game preserves. Both ranges have mountain sheep and an telope, and the Catalinas are said to contain a few herds of deer also. Should the government decide to form such preserves. the Santa Catalinas in particular would shortly become the playground of the surrounding region, as they are thickly covered with big trees and are provided with plenty of water. Nothing is needed worse in southern Arizona than such a place to which those who do not have either the time-or the means to go to the coast might go for a short outing.

in the Harshaw basin. The Buffalo, formerly the Jefferson, was worked years ago by a Pittsburg company. The working shaft is down only 90 feet, 10 feet of which was used for a stump. At a depth of so feet the mining was done, and there is 1000 feet of underground work at that depth. The property has been pur- chased by James F. Cochran of Bradford, Pa, who also owns the Hermosa mine, in the Harshaw dis trict. He has written to George Weiland in regard to unwatering the mine, and suggested moving the ma chinery from the Hermosa mine to the Buffalo for that purpose. MT. Weiland, however, says the mine can be drained for one-third the outlay that would be necessary to put in the machinery and pump the water out, by running a tunnel 300 feet and cutting under the old workings about 25 feet below the shaft. He is now awaiting further instructions from Mir. Cochran. Mir. Weiland has worked in the Buffalo in past years, and says there is a large body of rich ore in the mine

CANTAl0UPE SEASON
 FACTS AND COMMENT
The First Packing Will Be Done at the Warehouse-Later It may Be in the Field.

The cantaloupe season is on. Dr. A. A. Leeds came over from Sacaton yesterday with his Indians, who will camp near the city and be employed as a picking force Big loads of streets daily.
 The undersiZed melons and culls, not of standard size for carload ship ments, are being brought to the city at the rate of twenty five or thirty crates daily. MT. Cadwallader and his office force. representing the commission merchants, will be here today, and the first carload will be sent east next Tuesday.
 The water is getting a little short which may prove a drawback before the season is over. However, the acreage that has been properly cul- tivated and irrigated up to this time. shows no bad effects so far, though some patches that have been grown with a lack of cultivation are be- ginning to curl up q little. It is q time like this that shows the differ ence between raising cantaloupes and allowing them to raise themselves.
 Notwithstanding the water is lower in the river than for four years past, it is higher in the ground; that is, the ground is better wet up and the water level is higher MT. BrOomell, who has charge or-the Santa Fe ranch and irrigates by pumping, said that year or so ago the water-level was twenty-five feet below the sur face on that ranch, and now it is only sixteen feet below the surface.
 Belt Fine, president of the Phoenix CantalOupe Growers association, has issued the following, which is self explanatory and which has been sent to each member of the association: Phoenix, Ariz., June 25. 1903
 Our experience at Sculrs shipping room and with the growers at the meeting today has convinced us that we shall have much trouble and prob able loss if we try at this time to load car with 'cants' packed by the growers, scarcely any of whom have any experience. We have, therefore, decided to have all the 'cants' brought to the warehouse and the first two cars packed by capable hands.
 You will then have ample oppor- tunity to learn how to do it, and then, if it is not thought best to pack the balance of the crop at cen tral warehouse, you will be in position to go ahead intelligently.'"

CANTALoUPES ARE MOVING.
Everybody Working in Mesa, lnclud- ing Father, in an Attempt to Get
 the Bumper Crop on the Road.

Mesa is just commencing the har- vesting of what is recognized as the bumper crop in the history of the valley. Fifty crates went out yesterday by express, going as far east as Albuquerque. Every one who is able to tell the difference between a cantaloupe and a summer squash will be "shoVed into the collar with the admonition to keep working.
 M. NJ Cox, who is superintendent of shipping for the II. H. Woods Commission company of Chicago, has arrived in the valley, and, after talk ing a careful investigation, gave out the unqualified statement that this years crop will be the largest ever taken from the >AIesa district. MT. Cox has been in charge of the ship ping from Mesa for the past four years, aside from experimenting the shipping of thousands of carloads from other places, and his opinion in regard to the Mesa outlook is in deed encouraging to the growers of the South Side.
 MT. Cox is not only well pleased with the outlook for a large crop, but he is well pleased with the quality t1l lIt HltlOH liIouuCth ne StdNtS that the Mesa growers have eXperi- mented with their planting cultiva- ton and seed until they have one of the thickest meated and sweetest melons on the market. He is a walking advertisement for the Mesa melon, whether he is on the road or at his home in Texas.
 The water conditions have material ly assisted the growers and one more irrigation will mature the crop. Ac- cording to MT. Cox, 'carload of melons will leave this place tOmor- row evening or Tuesday at the latest. It takes considerable preparation to get in shape to place 25O carloads of this perishable product on the market which is essential be harvest com mences for. whence, once begun. there is little time for anything else but the actual work of getting the melons in the cars and started on their way to the eastern distributing point.

PATAGONIA.

Patagonia, June 25.-(Special Cor respOndence of The Republican.)- The Red Hill tunnel at the Four
 Metals mine, in the Mowry district, is now in ledge matter, but not the main ledge of the property The ledge was cut three weeks ago. The tunnel cut through about fourteen feet of concentrating copper ore, car rying values in gold, silver and lead. When the writer visited the prop erty Monday. they were still in ledge matter, twenty five feet from where they cut into the foot wall, but had not yet encountered the hanging wall. The rock they were then working in was streaked with ore The strike was something of a surprise to the management, as no ledge was looked for at that place, the tunnel being in only about 40 feet when the wall was cut The main ledge at the Four metals is a large one and will be cut by the tunnel probably 150 to 175 feet further in and at a much greater depth. as it will cut under the big outcropping on the hill top. No drifting has been done on the ledge in which they are now working, and for the present none will be done. The tunnel will be pushed along till the main ledge is cut, when drifting will be done on both lodges. As soon as the ledge was cut into a liberal flow of water was encoun- tered and the workmen had a job of timbering on hand right away, as thirty or forty tons of ore and waste ran down the footwall and into the tunnel. As soon as the run was stopped, the tunnelling was contin- ued. Manager Johnson has notified the directors of the company of the strike and has asked for an appro- priation of $5O,O0O for the installation of a concentrating plant. With the money he plans to place a 100-tOn plant near the tunnel.
 A most promising looking copper prospect is the Red Rock, in the Harshaw district, about seven miles from Patagonia. It consists of group of six claims, owned by George Weiland and Theodore Gebler of Nogales. The prospect work con sists of tunnellng into a hill, across which outcrops in many places a large ledge, highly copper stained. A lullIltl uTlNtH lUU feet III lIt lllliSiCt showed values in copper. gold, silver and lead. The ledge dips east about 90 degrees and is walled with birds eye pOrphry. Well down the hill a crosscut tunnel is now being driven to cut the ledge. The tunnel site is at a place where the hill is so steep that depth of about 400 feet will be had when the ledge is out under the hilltop. with a tunnelling distance of little more than 300 feet. The tunnel is now in 27O feet, and Mir. Weiland, who is doing the work, eX- poets to cut the ledge about forty feet further in. Mike Doyle of Noga- les has located five claims, the old Mike group, on the east extension of the Red Rock, and has done con siderable surface work in prospect ing the claims during the past few months.
 There may be something doing in the near future at the Buffalo mine,

TO TAKE MEASUREMENT
Of Water Supply In the Canals On
 Both Sides of River.

F. P. Trott the court water commits sioner of Phoenix, arrived in Mesa yesterday and left soon after for an inspection trip to the different canals in this vicinity.
 Mir Trott will take the measure ments of the flow of water in the Mesa, Utah, and Tempe Crosscut ca nals, and branches of the Mesa below the division gates. He states that there are approximately 14.000 inches in the canals at the present time, on both sides of the river. While this is lower than the supply has been at this season of the year. since 1904, the above amount is still over the aver age Up to within a short time ago, the water users of certain ditches were not confined to their allotted time on the schedule, but since the de- crease in the supply, in the canals, all users have been placed on time allot ment. ss

FINE BARLEY CROP.

Donald Mcqueen reports an unusu ally fine barley harvest at the Me Queen ranch east of town. Eighteen acres of ground were sown to this grain. and 4S3 sacks, averaging 11S pounds to the sack were yielded, this amount lacking just three sacks of averaging twenty sacks to the acre. When it is considered that be- tween eighteen and twenty sacks is a good crop, the yield at the Mcqueen ranch is certainly an exceptionally fine one.
 The kernals of grain are well filled and large.
