The land to be sold IS
known locally as the Pan
guitCh East Bench. It is
covered with a growth of
sagebrush and grass, is free
from alkali, slopes gently to
the west and IS well adapted
for growing farm crops. The
soil Of quite twO-thirds of
the tract is a deep sandy loan
where drainage lines cross
the area, the exposed soil
layer frequently shows a
depth of from ten to twelve
feet.
From the north end Of the
tract, the nearest railroad
station is Marysvale, on the
Sewer Valley Branch of the
Rio Grande Western Railroad,
, the distance being forty-five
miles.
Good public ranges are in
the immediate vicinity of the
land, making the location
good for stock raising and
daiTying.
The timber supply is near,
there being a sawmill about
ten miles distant from the
tract-up Sanford creek. The
supply of fencing material,
both cedar and pine, is plenti-
full in the mountains immedi-
ateIy east, at a distance of five
or six miles.
Wood is the only fuel avail
able in the immediate vicinity.
1t is, however, plentiful. Coal
can be obtained by a haul Of
about forty miles.

Lighted Cigarette Thrown Into Box
OF Fuses Cause Of Instant Igni-
ton of Heavy Charges Of
Explosive.

Key West, Fla Assa r9sal MI tina,
explosion OF seven hundred pounds
OF dynamite at Bocachica, twelve
miles from Key West, on the Florida
East Coast Railway twelve men are
dead and five are seriously wounded,
and at least dozen others are suf-
fering from less serious injuries. The
explosion was caused by member
of the railroad construction force
carelessly throwing lighted cigar
cite into box of fuses.
Eleven of the workmen met in
stant death. and the 18th died while
being brought to the hospital here.
The men were hurled high into the
air and the bodies of the dead were
almost beyond recognition, arms and
legs being torn from the bodies of
some, while the faces of others were
masses of torn flesh.
According to one of the wounded,
a workman-one of the IL to meet
instant death-threw a lighted ci-
garette to one side, not noticing that
it fell into the box containing fuses
which were connected with the heavy
charges of explosives beneath them.
A few seconds and the men, water,
mud and tons of dirt were thrown
seventy to ninety feet in the air.
Tugs brought the dead and the
more seriously wounded to this city,
the latter being placed in the Louise
Maloney hospital
Those less seriously injured were
placed on Stock Island, opposite Bo-
cachica, to be brought to Key West
later.
About fifty men were at work. all
close together, when the box of fuses
were discovered ablaze, and had it
not been for the sounding of the
alarm by the dredge Manteo it is
doubtful If third of the men would
have escaped with their lives.

Municipal improvements
Being Made.

A very interesting bulletin on ths
common insect injurious to truck
crops has been issued by the State
Crop Pest Commission. The small
dark brown ant, so common in New
Orleans, Baton Rouge and other
southern Louisiana and Mississippi
towns, known as the Argentine or
New Orleans ant. is oftentifles a
cause Of considerable annoyance to
Eardeners. The workers have most
aggravating habit of digging up let
tuce seed as soon as it is sown and
carrying 1t away to their nest. On
the grounds of the Experiment Sta
tion at Baton Rouge it has been
found that the ants are as fond of
corn meal as of lettuce seed, and If
corn meal is sifted literally over the
beds when the seed is planted, the
ants will engage themselves in car
rying this away. If sufficient of the
meal is put out, the seed will have
terminated by the time the ants fin
ish the self-appointed task of re-
moving the meal and by that time
the young plants will be safe from
their attack.
