Several rows of corn planted last June matured early. Potatoes are ready to be gath cred after 90 days instead of the usual no. His plants are neither cultivated 1or irrigated. In the fall an 1s-inch mulch of horse manure is placed on the soil and allowed to settle during the winter. This lasts for four years and prevents evaporation of moisture. Lettuce and radishes are planted on the surface, corn. potatoes and to- matoes in the earth beneath the mulch

ARBITRATOR FAILS
 ID GAIN AGREEMENT

Despite the fact that arbitration has been under way for the past ten days. the efforts on the part of the city to arrive at some satisfactory con. clusion regarding the appraisement of the Johnson and Gull property on Main street continues to be without re- suit.
 Mayor Neale has now taken up the reins with the hope of losing no further time in aanexing the property to the city. The disputed land con tains 1900 square feet and adioins Mosher's market. It is the desire of the city council to annex the land in order to give the proper width to to Tombstone Canyon and also to the road leading to the jail.

MAY LEAVE FOR SUMMER.

Yesterday was one of the busiest days the ticket office in Bisbee has ever seen. In addition to single trip tickets to coast points there were thirty-seyen return tickets sold. This is indicative of the need of sleeping car service being installed between this city and Los Angeles. But it was not alone coast tickets that were in demand, for there were more than the usual number of tickets sold to east ern points and local stations. Be tween Bisbee and Douglas alone there were sold thirty tickets.

BULLETIN ON ALFALFA ISSUED
United States Agricultural De-
partment Prepares Article
On Growing This Plant

The Importance of alfalfa to
Western farmers cannot we'll be
overestimated. A single ton of
alfalfa may save the lives of many
head of stock by providing feed
during short periods of cold,
stormy weather. Alfalfa cannot
be excslled as a preparatory crop
on soils that have long been un-
productive. Likewise it main
tains the fertility of soils natu-
rally rich in plant food, and if
used as base of rotation makes
possible abundant crop yields of
various kinds.
Notwithstanding its present i'm
portance and great value in irri-
cation farming, the profits on the
area now in alfalfa can be greatly
increased if more care and skill
are exercised in growing it.
Perhaps the most essential con-
ditions for the production of al
falfa are abundant sunshine, a high
Summer temperature, sufficient
moisture, and rich, deep, we'll
drained soil. All of these essen
tials, save moisture, exist naturally Y
in the arid region of the United
States, and when water is supplied
it makes the conditions ideal. AL
though alfalfa can be successfully
grown under a wide range of soil
conditions, yet all Western lands
are not equally we'll adapted to
its growth.
How to determine the suitabil-
ity of land for growing alfalfa
under irrigation, as well as how
to prepare the land, is told in
Farmers Bulletin 373, "Irriga-
ton of Alfalfa,' recently issued
by the United States Department
of Agriculture. The bulletin dis
cusses the various methods of ir-
rigating the crop and gives much
useful information in connection
Herewith.

LEADS IN GOLD PRODUCTION
Statistics Show Big Net Increase
In Value of The Yellow
Metal Output

Washington, Nov. "a. - The
gold mines OF the United States
produced s94, 100000 worth of
precious metal during 1908, ac-
cording to the geological survey
and the bureau OF mines, which
have co-operated in preparing
analysis Of the reports from pri-
vate refneries and federal lnints
and assay Offices.
The total gold product was
4,574,340 ounces, net increase
in value OF 81, 4,124, 300. Colorado
leads with a productive value of
$22,871, 900; Alaska was second,
with 1883, 800, and California
was third, with s19, ,329,700.
Porto Rico was the smallest
producer, with a total Of only
5000. The Philippines show an
increase of s219,SOO to total of
$284,50O
Some States Of the Union, usu-
ally not associated with gold min
ing, make a showing. In fact,
the 81 of the States and Terri
tories, not including Porto Rico
and the Philippines, are produc-
ing gold. Texas produced $500
worth in 1908, New Hampshire
mined $500 worth, and some
where in the vast grazing country
Of Wyoming was produced $1,000.
The summary shows net de-
crease of 4,073,900 ounces of sill
yer, with value of $28, $50, 600.
The total production was 2,44O,-
800 fine ounces. Montana leads,
with a production of 10,356,20
fine ounces.
AS in gold, the Philippines
show a remarkable increase in
silver production. From 100
ounces in 1907, the production
of the islands jumped to 1900 in
1908.

area of desert land an entryman

1t is held that zone who holds

land entry is not the proprietor
thereof within the meaning OF the
statute, holding disqualified to
make homestead entry one who
is the proprietor of more than

THE COMMERCIAL
VALUE OF SAGEBRUSH
Actual Experiments Show II
To. Have Net Value OF
SIS Per Ton

For some time past the State Board of
Publicity and the State Engineers office
have been endeavoring to secure capital
for the manufacturing Of various pro.
ducts from the sagebrush of Nevada.
Over quarter Of century ago
Thomas Edison when in Virginia City
remarked to some friends that the Lord
Almighty never put 80 much sagebrush
or anything else in one place unless he
meant it for some economic use.
AS result Of the correspondence on
the subject q company has been incor-
porated in Chicago known as the Chem
ical Produce Company. having a CAPT.
talization Of $3.50. 900, fully paid mp and
non -assessable, with view Of putting
up plants in this State for the extraction
Of wood alcohol. tar. creosote, pitch,
aoetic acid and charcoal.
A careful series of experiments dem.
onstrated just what profit there is in
$4,000 tons of sagebrush. The yield
from that amount was $685., 1857, and the
cost of producing the commercial pro-
ducts was $4,000, which gave net
profit of sl92.375. The yield per ton
averages something over SIS.
These are cold figures from actual ex.
periments. and mean great deal to this
State.
Every man who has ever been in the
West knows of the vast expanse Of ter.
ritory covered by sagebrush which has
heretofore been known as useless waste.
Millions of acres and hundreds of square
miles are covered with it,
Recently four tons of sagebrush was
shipped to Evanston, Illinois. from the
West, and retort was built for the
purpose of testing it. When the expert
ment was made it showed the following
results:
The yields OF the products from 1000
pounds of the sagebrush are as follows:
220 gallons Of distillate.
1850 pounds of charcoal
The distillate was fractioned and pro-
duced:
Tar, 33 gallons; wood alcohol IL gal.
Ions; acetic acid. 1862 pounds.
The tar was fractioned and produced:
