.FRONTERAS VALLEY;
ITS POTATOE CROP
Between 10000 and 25l000
Sacks Win Be Shipped From
There This Year.

DOUGLAS, June 19.-(Special.) -
The extent of the agricultural in
dustry in the Fronteras valley, forty
miles south of Douglas, is not geneT-
ally appreciated in this city. Speak
ing of the potato crop produced in the
vicinity Of Fronteras this year Man
ager Strodthoff of the Copper Queen
store yesterday stated that potatoes
were now being shipped TO Douglas
and Bisbee from that section by the
carload. il is estimated that the pc
tato crop viii amount TO 10000 or 25,-
900 sacks this year in the vicinity of
Frmteras. The potatoes are worth
50 per sack f. o. b. Douglas and the
duty collected by the customs house
for their admission into this country
is 20 cents per sack. In a sack is one
and half bushel The freight to
Douglas Is not high and the net re-
ceipts for the potatoes amounts to
more than $3.50 per sack after paying
freight and duty. The farming is
done in the Fronteras valley by Mex
leans and Cinnamon and besides pota-
toes they raise considerable wheat
and alfalfa. In the fall they raise
large amounts of chile and beans.
The Fronteras valley is one of the
prcttiest to be found in northern So
nora and bids fair 70 become import
ant in the future as an agricultural
section than it does now. The trade
from that section in this city already
amounts to a nice business for our To-
cal merchants.

Of his money. AS soon as this was
done, forming in line, the. pirates
drove all, officers and crew as well,
into one of the cabins and bolted the
door.
Then from stem to stern the ship
was searched. The iron case that had
weighed so heavily on the captains
mind was quickly discovered, and its
contents, the property of the Russian
bank for foreign trade. hastily secret
ed among the robbers.
At a word from the leader. several
Of his men now lowered the three
boats that the Sofia carried, into the
sea. Others burst open the lockers
containing rockets, blue fires and 9TH
er signaling apparatus and cast the
contents overheard. No means of at
tracing aid must be left to the ship,
their leader had commanded. Even
the machinery they disabled.
Meanwhile the terrified passengers,
cooped within the small cabin, trem-
bled with terror. Sometimes they
imagined the ship was being scuttied,
ard that they would be left to drown
Ike rats. At last the leaders voice
dispelled this fear.
IF you make any attempt to call
attention" they heard him say to the
officers, I'VE shall return and sink the
ship"
With that he unbolted the cabin
door, and hastily rejoined his men in
the boats.
