100000 INVESTED
IN ALFALFA LAND
Former Arizona Mining Man owner
of 400 Fertile Acres Near
Growing City of
Corona

j. P. Coplen, a mining engineer, for
merly of Arizona but now a resident of
Los Angeles, has purchased 100 addi-
tional acres of alfalfa land. This ad-
joins two other pieces recently pur-
chased by him near the thriving city
of Corona and gives him a solid body
of land amounting to 400 acres and
lying along the Santa Fe railroad.
About one-half of this acreage is now
in a fine stand of alfalfa and the bal
ance will be seeded. Mr.. Coplen is
now building two large barns and will
wire them with electricity so as to take
no risk from fire. and will install a
modern power baler with a capacity
of fifty to seventy-five tons a day. He
will have his own private siding on the
railroad from which to market his al
falfa, and will gravel and oil his pri
vate roads around the ranch. The
ranch is equipped with two complete
pumping plants that furnish over 300
inches of water Mr. Collen will also
build a fine residence on the ranch, so
that he and his family can enjoy the
pure air and other benefits of country
life when desiring a change from the
city. Mr.. Coplen will spare no money
in making this one of the show places
as well as one of the most valuable
alfalfa ranches on the Pacific coast.
His investments represent more than
$4,000 which were made through the
firm of the Waybright- company.

FIGHTS FIRE THREE DAYS
THEN ABAND0NS SHIP
Crew and Passengers Undergoing Se-
we're Hardships Are Picked Up
in Ascension Islands

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-After
fighting a fire which had ragged in the
hold of the Norris Prince bound from
New York to Cape Town. Captain
Mark Campbell of Philadelphia, his
crew of 1fty-two men and several
passengers were forced to abandon
the vessel. and for two days they
drifted helplessly in the open sea in
small boats. They We're finally picked
! up off Georgetown in the Ascension
! islands.
Beyond a brief dispatch to New York
saying that the Norris Prince was lost
nothing was known of the adventures
of Captain Campbell and his crew
until his brother who lives at 2599
East Dauphin street, received a letter
recently telling of his thrilling eXpe-
riences. When in this country Captain
Campbell makes his home at the Dau-
phin street address.
The story of the valiant fight of the
captain of the Morris Prince and his
crew to save their ship, which was a
new one, and their desperate and
finally successful attempts to save
their own lives and the lives of the
women and children who were passen-
gers, is as thrilling as the boldest sea
tale in fiction.
Captain Campbell is employed by the
Prince Steamship line. On December
Is the Norris Prince sailed from New
York with a cargo of general mer-
chandise. 1t was the second trip of
the vessel. There were a number of
passengers, among them several women
and children.
Fought Fire for Days
On the morning of January 8 a fire
was reported in the ships hold. All the
fire-fighting apparatus on board the
vessel was turned against the flames.
For three days, until the evening of
January 5, the crew worked fiercely
Water was pumped into the hold and
then out again to prevent the ship
from sinking. In the meantime the en-
gines were working furiously to take
the vessel near land. 1t was a race
between the engines and the flames.
on the afternoon of January the
fire reached a part of the merchandise
that burned very rapidly, and orders
We're given to abandon the vessel.
"On the evening of January s."
Captain Campbell writes to his brother
1--WE left the ship in the long boats and
saw the Norris Prince, a mass of flames,
burn to the waters edge"
There were several of the long boats,
and as the fire had cut off the way to
most of the provisions many of the
crew and passengers suffered from the
lack of food. For two days they
drifted. The seas We're so heavy that

oars could not be used to any advan-
tage, and the frail boats were in dan
ger of being swamped. The boats kept
together as best they could, and tied
sheets to the oars by day, waving the
oars in the air in the hope that a pass
ing vessel might see them. In the night
lights were tied on the oars and were
held aloft.
Sea Finally Gained
On January the ocean grew calm
and about I o'clock in the afternoon
the shipwreeked passengers and crew
were rescued by a passing ship and
taken to Georgetown. Both men and
women were exhausted and were given
medical Treatment. Captain Campbell
is now on his way to New York.
The Norris Prince was 10,000-ton
ship. Six years ago the assistant su-
perintendent of the Prince line. then
a captain. lost ship in the same way
and about the same place where the
Norris Prince went down.
Captain Campbell is so years old. He
has been at sea since he was IA years
old and never lost a ship before. He
has received many medals and pres
ents for bravery, four of his most val
liable trophies coming from the czaF
of Russia the emperor of Germany ana
the king of Denmark. In 1886 cap
tain Campbell and his crew saved the
captain and twenty-nine men from
Danish ship in the Pacific ocean. For
this he was presented with gold
watch by the king of Denmark.
In 1889 he was presented with

of Germany for saving forty-slX men
from German vessel, and in l9O5 ne
