ons have nearly all found a ready market at a good figure without cost to Mir. Goodwin in transporting them to town. The Indians have the patch spotted and come daily in punches He estimates that had there been no damage from weather, the crop would easily have netted S25O per acre, and as it is it will come close to the s2O0 mark.
 A small patch of tomatoes Occu- pies one corner of the tract This is a thrifty spot and one tomato picked yesterday weighed even two pounds. Some land is devoted to the cultivation of red peppers. These yield well and have good market
 In time to come this tract of land will be one of the best date orchards in the valley. The land seems well adapted to the cultivation of dates and they do well. Four hundred dates, grown from seed this year, are now being cared for, and 300 trees from one to six years old, some of them bearing, are under cultiva- ton. Aside from this there are a thousand grape vines, embracing the Thompson .seedless, the Muscat and several other varieties. Considerable smaller garden truck is grown there and a number of fruit trees are in healthy condition. This is all on approximately eight acres of land. MT. Goodwin feels confident that in

MOUNTAINS AROUND
 DRENCHtD WTH RAIN
Mines at Goldfield Flooded and Roose- welt Road Near Weeks Station Washed Out.

What is said to be the heaviest rain that has fallen in twelve years, in the Goldfied district visited that section on Thursday last. The rain began falling carly in the morning. and con tinued for several hours. The water came down in great volumes in what are usually dry gullies and ditches there.
 Both the Bulldog and Mammoth claims which are being worked by MT. Shattuck were flooded with water soon after t came rushing down the arroyo on which they are located. Work there had to be discontinued and all at tempts to keep the water from enter ing the mines proved fruitless. The slight entertainments which had been built for protection were soon swept away by the volume of water. Fred Bracket was at the claims at the time, engaged in experimenting the installation of a new twenty-five horse power engine and pump, which were to take the place of the smaller one which has been in use there, but has proven insufficient in keeping the shafts free of water as they were be- ing sunk IL is expected that 1t will now be sometime before the present flood of water is pumped out of the shafts. and work can be resumed again. l
 Reports come from Weeks Station on the Roosevelt Road that the rain fall was exceptionally heavy there also on Thursday afternoon, and that the road is badly washed out in a num- Der of places, as it was flooded. A force of men will be put to work there at once to repair the damages, the stage will continue to go through on schedule time. Several places along the transmission line were badly washed. but no serious damage has been reported up to this time.

the course of year or two, when
 the grapes and dates are more fully
 matured, it will be an easy matter
 for a man to clear from one to two
 hundred dollars per acre off the
 place, the amount depending to a ! large extent upon the amount of , work done.
 The most remarkable feature of
 this tract of land is the Johnson
 grass, or rather the total absence
 of it. A year ago this land was from one to six feet high with this weed; today one would never sus- pect that a spear of it ever grew there The killing out of this grass, the cultivation of the different crops above mentioned and the other tasks necessary to the successful cultiva- ton of any place, have all been done tby Mir. Goodwin alone. He has hired but two days outside help except during the picking season in the melon patch. This place is certainly a splendid example of what can be done in Arizona on a small piece of ground when a man gets down and digs. It is just such tracts as this that the valley needs and more peo- pie who will make the most of small pieces of land. J. II. Hale, who himself is a gardener, and who knows how to get the best there is in land out of it, looked over this little farm one day and Said that it was really the first rear piece of farming he had seen in the valley. The average Salt River valley farmer takes life fairly easy He farms on a large scale and makes good money with out working so dreadfully hard and he is satisfied. This condition is especially true with the farmers un- der the Tempe canal.
 It is timely to note, while telling the story of this eight-acre tract, something of the increase in value of it within the past few years. It originally belonged to Ed Goodwin. who sold it to Marsh and Razor for $500. A year later T. J. and Ed Goodwin bought the land for Sl4OO. No price is placed on it today. It is not for sale but it is valued at better than $2500.

THE LINE DRAWN BY
 HE ClIY MARSHAL
One Must Have a Little Consideration for Others, Even in Choosing His Own Company.

A great deal of5 latitude is allowed the American citizen in choosing his company but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Yesterday Marshal Moore separated a man from a boon com panion and by so doing incurred his dispIeasure but the officer looked upon it as a mere matter of duty and con ducted himself accordingly. The mar shaI was passing a bootblack stand when a young man jumped off chair and handed him a diamond to inspect. asking if he thought it was a good one The officer replied that 1t looked good to him. when the stranger said How does this Iook?" at the same time unbuttoning his shirt front a little and inviting him to peer inside it. There, nestling comfortably against the mans cuticle, (for he wore no un- dershirD lay the finest kind of a rat tlesnake nearly two feet long, as con tented as 2 sleepy man in church.
 The marshal told him that he and the snake might have a mutual under standing but the rest of the Phoenix people lacked that trustful confidence necessary for such close association with venomous reptiles. He ordered the man to put the snake at once in box or some other place where the public would be safe. If he wanted to and would get q box large enough he could get in it with the snake but the snake would not be permitted to run at large on Washington street. Retir- ing to the rear of a saloon the man seized the snake by the neck and coiling him up nicely laid him gently in a cigar box. He said he had been handling snakes all his life. had no fear of them and they never tried to bite him
