FIG INDUSTRY THRIvEs
AT SANTA MARIA.
Thousands of Trees in Third Years
Growth Heavily Laden with De-
liciOus Fruit - Preserving
Plant Probably Soon Es-
tabIished.

Thousands of improved varieties of
fig trees may be seen now at Santa
Maria, % miles above Brownsville,
which are now heavily laden with this
delicious fruit. A fine lot of this de-
licious fruit was presented to The
Herald today by Judge E. C. Forto,
who returned last evening from a
short visit to his irrigated plantation
at Santa Maria, the fruit being gath
cred from his place and also from
that of R. H. Kern, jr., of the same
vicinity.
The judge reports that the fig in
dustry at Santa Maria is f1ourishing.
He has about a hundred trees on his
place, while Mr. Kern has fully 5000
and other planters also have a great
many. These trees are none of them
over three years old. yet all are heav-
lily laden with fruit.
1t is probable that a fig preserving
plant will be established at Santa
Maria by next year. as a leading fig
preserving company has offered to es-
tablish such an enterprise in any vi
cinity in this section where a suffic-
lent acreage of magnolia figs should
be planted to supply the fruit for pre-
serving. It is understood that the ma
jority of the figs that have been
plated at Santa Maria are fthis va
riety.

SHOT WITH
 HIS OWN GUN

There was a little gun play ou the Dolphin after she left this port and be- fore she reached Haines which made 1t necessary to put the night watchmsn Of at Haiues for treatment in the hos. pital, according to a story brought up by the Peterson. The par ticulars are not at hand but It appears that an altercatlon arose between the two upon which the night watchman drew an automatic revolver. The fireman grasped the wrist of the gun hand and twisted it and began working the instrument himself with the result that three bullets lodged in the leg Of the night watchmsn. The wounds are said to be not serious.

A.-Y.-P. IN
 FINE FORM

U. s. Deputy Marshal Hector Mclean returned last evening from Haines on the Regg. It is his first appearance in town since he went below in charge of the batch Of prisoners convicted at the last term of court. Mir. Mclean came up on the Dolphin and stopped over at Haines on some business. While be- low he paid a visit to the sound cities both sides the line. He finds them all a little quiet, he says, judged from the conversation Of business men. The work on the grounds Of the A.-Y-.P. exposition is progressing finely and the maragemeut is of the belief that the show will be completed well in advance Of opening day. In fact 1t was said that there IS reason now for going slow ID some departments as 1t was not desira- ble to complete the buildings earlier than was actually needed, lest they get to look shabby. Mr. Mclean remarks upon the improved looks of Skagway even siuce he went away.

He speaks very enthusiastically Of the outlook for Seward peninsula. He says Nome Is undoubtedly a permanent camp; that quartz discoveries in the Sawtooth range and in mountains close to Nome are unquestionably good for life time of mining. Also there have been many placer discoveries that bid fair to lengthen the life of that camp with this regard. He speaks Of an excitement created by new beach diggings found not far from Nome. Nevertheless, he says, Nome has not been having all that was coming to her this year because of the lack Of water, Business was not so good from this fact and then ne adds that he only sold Sl5,OOO worth of goods Reports of the shortage of water and other depressing influences caused him to iorego the trip to Fairbanks an he says all travellers report poor business not because there is not riches iu tho ground but that they have not been taken out,
