Mark TWain's Producer

The articles that hsve been ap
pearing in some of the Nevada
papers relative to the enormous
strikes and immense lodges that
are found in some of our new
camps, says the Tonopah Bonan
"a, remind one of Mark Twain's
story of the Calistoga Springs.
A number of years ago when
Mark was prospecting Nevada
and California he CHANGED to
read a dispatch sent out by a
we'll known mining writer of
San Francisco to the Saturday
Evening Post. in reference to
gold being found In solution in
the water of Calistoga Springs.
Marx wrote as follows:
Il have seen your dispatch
from San Francisco in the Satur-
day Evening Post about gold be-
ing found in solution in Calistoga
Springs, and about the proprie
tor having extructed 1900 ounc-
es of gold Of the utmost fineness
from two barrels Of water dur
ing the past fortnight by ii pro
cess known only to himself. This
will surprise many of your read
ers, but it does not surprise me,
for I once owned them springs
myself. What does surprise me,
however, is the falling off in the
richness of the water. In my
time the yield was 81 a dipperful.
[ am not saying this to injure
the property in case sale is
contemplated. ] am saying it in
the interest of. history. 1t may
be that the proprietor's process
is an inferior one. Yes, that
must be the fault. Mine was to
take my uncle & had an extra
one at that time on account Of
his parents dying and leaving
him on my hands) and fill him up
and let him stand for fifteen min
utes in order to let the water
settle. And then I put HIM into
an exhaust cover, which had the
effect of sucking gold out thro'
the pores. [ have taken more
than $lf 900 out of that old man
in less than a day and a half.
II should have held onto the
springs but for the badness of
the mud and the difficulty of get

is in many respects remarkable,
and yet 1t is no more remarkable
than the gold bearing air of Cat
gut Canyon, up there toward the
head of the Aurifferous Range.
This air, or this wind, blows
steadily down through 600 miles
of the richest quartz groupings
during an hour and q quarter
every day except Sunday, and is
heavily charged with exquisitely
fine, impalpable gold. Nothing
precipitates this gold so quickly
as the human flesh heated with
passion. The time that William
Abrahams was disappointed in
love he used to sit out doors
when the wind was blowing and
come in again and begin to sigh
and I would extract over a dol.
lar and half out of every sigh.
Ae sighed right along, and the
time that John Harbinson and
Alex Horton 9uarreled about
Harbinson's dog they stood there
swearing at each other, and they
kney how, and what they didn't
know about swearing they could
not learn from you and me, not
by good deal, and every three
or four minutes they had to stop
and declare a dividend; il they
didn't their jaws would clog and
they couldn't get big, nesylla-
bled ones out at all. And when
the wind quit blowing they
cleaned up a little over $1,000
apiece. / know these facts to
oe absolutely true because [ got
them from man whose mother
| knew personally. [ do not
suppose that person could buy
the water privilege at Calistoga
now at any price, bat several
good locations along the course
of Catgot Canyon gold bearing
trade winds are for sale. They
are going to be stocked for the
New York market. They will
sell, too. People will swarm for
them as thick as Hancock veter-
ans in the south. -

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by
K ii. Forbes, Director and
Chemist of Agricultural
Experiment Station
University OF Arizona,
January Is. 1907,

january Id, lJu|.
Just west of Yuma. Arizona. in the alluvial
flood plain of the Colorado, lies little farm
of 10 acres which on May 1, 1905, was virgin
bottomland, covered with saltweed. arrow
brush and creosOte bushes. The original
purpose of the tract was for planting selected
varieties of date palms imported by the U. y.
Department OF Agriculture from the Old
World. The Experiment station, May 2, be-
gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the
work of levelling, bordering and irrigating
the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was
completed.
THE PLAN OF WORK.
Recognizing, however, that q farmer with
his living to make meantime, cannot afford
to wait for an orchard to come into bearing,
1t was planned 10 plant crops for quick re-
turns between the tree-r0wS, thus putting the
work on a feasible basis from the small f;Irnl-
er'S point of view. III order to ecCnomize
ground the irTigating borders were so placed
to coincide with the rows OF palms, thus
utilizing space otherwise usually wasted.
The tract was divided by the borders into
lands, for the most part one-half an acre III
size. 1rrigating water from the Colorado
Valley i. " /. Canal was obtained In the GUS
t0mary manner, anu r. H. Crane, himself II
Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of
what was nicknamed our play farm"
III size, as well aS in the intensive character
OF the work planned, this farm Is the Op-
posite of the average holdings of this locality.
The prevailing crops OF the region are alfalfa,
corr. barley, and forages in general, compare
lively little attention being given to vege-
tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of IeveliIng
land in this region is high, rarely falling be-
low twenty doliaiS an acre at current prices
for labor and teams. Moreover, the cost, ex-
elusive of maintenance, of the Government
irrigating system now under construction
will be about $50 an acre annually for ten
years. To meet these and other heavy items
of expense III connection with the establish
Inent OF Il farm in this region, intensive crops
of IL more remunerative character than those
now in vogue, are essential. 1t was partly,
therefore, as an object lesson bearing upon
these financial aspects of the general sitUa-
ton, that this cultural work was planned.

preparing the land and about 80 days, mems

The pToGnce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception of tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed To Tucson and
Bisbee. The following statements for the
various crops are ON the basis of net cash re-
turns to the small farmer, who with Az aver
age family Of five and team of horses is as
sunIed to do the work required. as explained
below. Items necessitating cash outlay, us

OF 80 cents for irrigation per for the crops
grown. The yields in certain Instances are
