 CANANEA May 3.-Prospectors and parties engaged in mining enter prises east and south of here. and there are . number of them. report that their food problem is a simple matter to solve and that their suste- nance is obtained at prices that would put the local market out of business. On the Sonora river, beginning at the Ojo de Agua, an almost unbroken line of Chinese gardeners are strung along It's moist banks. tilling the small drifted spots with a patient tenacity that could scarcely be equall ed by any other race. Some of them remain on the miniature farms. tend ing the growing plants and keeping the burros away, while others plod over many weary miles to town. sell ing the product at the market and from house to house. Occasionally heavy rain will wash the labor of weeks away and destroy their crop en- tirely, but they begin planting again before the soil is dry. Nearly all of the vegetables used in Cananea are produced from these tireless toilers and the supply Is generally sufficient lOl cit "A Sttab oi them have laid away considerable money in lhis way and the number is constantly increasing. When 1t is borne in mind that they do not irri- gate. except in a primitive way. it will be evident that wide field exists for people with enterprise and means to engage in truck farming on large scale.
 c. B. Spilman, an old time Can anean. has advised some unforgotten friends that ne will be here shortly for an extended visit. He left here about four years ago to become an as sociate in a mining company in Ari- zona, which some of the interested parties sold for a neat fortune and left him in possession of very empty sack. He went back to work for a period ard recently became mar of leisure through legacy that came from ain unexpected source. Mrs. Spilman will accompany him on the trip They will go from this place to Southern California and establish a home there.
 The power plant at the Puertecito mine has been dismantled. The ores at this point are quarried from tine surface and steam power has not been employed since the re-opening of the mine. When this item becomes a necessary feature of the work there. electric power will probably be avail. able.
 Mrs. V. R. Walling is seriously i'll at her home on the mesa. It was thought at first that she was afflicted with typhoid pneumonia but later advice has partially dispelled that fear.
 Mrs. w. H. Lyons is recovering from a severe attack of the la grippe

 Leslie Roper has gone to Tomb stone where he has been summoned as a witness in the case pending agains 1 the bank which failed in Bisbee about a year ago. He was employed in the l bank when receivership was made necessary.
 Dr. w. j. Galbraith, formerly chic surgeon of the c. c. c. c. Co. stopped | off a few hours yesterday on his way | from Los Angeles to New York. | The management of the local bal | team ex[resses a willingness to wipe l off the slate with Douglas and begii | over again. Only they want this ex planatioa made: Cananea played three games with Douglas in 1907
 taking the first two with perfect east | on the local grounds without trace of bitter feelings. The third, when al i the unplcasantness started. was takeI ! by the Shelter City on their grounds and Douglas people didn't take any O Cauanea's money, because they di' not have the nerve to bet. Last yea Cananea played nine games with tha | absent-minded bunch and won five
 The trouble with the Douglasites i that they do not count the games the, lose, but begin their records when
 ever their team happens to win. l they VIII put uO"h III d iASbiV bSoi
 that this seasons games begin on tn
 5th of this month and keep histor
 straight until the season ends ther
