 FRUITS AND MELONS
The Opinion of an Expert in Such
 Matters.

T. FTiedhejm of Friedheim X Co, wholesale frsit and produce brokers of Chicago. was a Mesa visitor yesterday. coming here for the purpose of taking q look over the general conditions rela tive to the cantaloupe and fruit situa ton. MT. Friedheim. by the way. up until three years ago was d member of the firm of ". w. Woods & Co. the concern that has for years handled the Mesa canataloupes. and he was na- turally on speaking terms with the melons from this section.
 The gentleman was very much inter ested in the manner in which the hor- ticultural inspection law is being en- forced. and could not help but voice his approval
 In regard to the character of Ari- zona melons on the Chicago market where competition is naturally sharp. he gave out the information that the cantaloupes shipped from this section. and also from the Imperial valley could not be beaten, or at least never have been beaten According to MT. Fried helm. the Rocky Ford melons. which of course do not come into competition with the Arizona product on account of

 |S FINAL As To Condemned Carload of Orange Trees VAIN APPEAL ID GOVERNOR Florida Shippers Request Microscopic Examination of the Trees Before the Judgment is Made Per manent
VAIN APPEAL TO GOVERNOR

Anticipating that there might he some means discovered whereby the two carloads of orange trees infected with damaging pests and which have been refused by the territorial inspect ors. could be utilized. NJ C. Phelps went to Phoenix yesterday and he and J. II Fleming took the matter up with Gov ernor Sloan. However. the result of the conference is that the trees must be shipped out of the territory ar be destroyed entirely. II must not be un- derstood that either of the gentlemen to whom the trees were shipped wished to evade the laws in anyway. but they desired to consult in the matter and if possible arrange things so that the blow would not fall so heavily on the nurseries as well as the ranchers who have their land in preparation for planting.
 Dr. Morrill, has received a wire from the Florida nursery Tn response to a message sent from this place at the time that the carload of 11.0o0 trees were turned down at the local station. which says that the trees should he eX- amined with microscope. leaving the inference that if this IS done it will be found that no pests exist. However. Dr. Morrill, has stated on different oc- casions, and he p~onally notified the Florida nursery sending the trees to this place that if five mealy bugs were found it would be sufficient for refu5- ing the entire carload The microscope by the way was used in the examina- tion of the trees arriving here. but it was altogether unnecessary, for the mealy bug is an animal varying in size from a flea to a well-fed bed bug. the the only different in appearances be- tween the mealy bug and the latter named insect is that the mealy bug is white. It Is large nough to be seen. and in fact when the inspection of the trees was being made the ranchcrs who were at the station to receive their trees succeeded in finding even 8 great CT number than the inspectors.
 It Is recognized on all sides that the refusal to allow the trees to be planted in the valley is a temporary blow to the citrus industry, but it is also under stood that it is the proper course to pursue and in fact the only one to pur- sue for the ultimate good of the Salt river valley and the successful growth of the citrus industry.

 their being several weeks later, are for some unknown reason degenerating both in flavor and keepink qualities They of course have a reputation. in fact so much SD that there are millions of people throughout the east that think that all cantaloupes are grown at Rocky Ford and that no other point in the United States has the climate and soil for producing anything else in the same line other than the old fashioned muskmelon. The gentleman was cn route to California, where he has 400 acres in the Imperial valley which he wishes to inspect His object in visit ing this point was to get in touch with some of the growers and. although he did not express himself. possibly to get in closer touch with them next season when they will have more cantaloupes to ship to Chicago.

ACTIVITY AT
 MAMMOTH MINE
Mesa Merchants Already Feeling Ef-
 feet of It.

The first real sigHs of actuaI work on the Mammoth mine in the Goldfield district. twenty-one miles east of Mesa on the Roosevelt road. became apparent when large lot of supplies were or dered out to the camp which is being established. Not only have the Mesa merchants already begun to feel the ef- fleets of what the opening up of the old mine will do for them, but it is un- derstood that an additional load of sup plies was also started out of Phee- nix.
 It has been pretty well understood in general way as tS the plans in mind by George T.. Young. who has the property bonded and is the man behind the present operations, but the first definite information was given out yesterday morning by w. M. Neagie, who is in direct charge of the work.
 MT Neagle left here during the after noon with four boilermakers in the Kimball automobile and they will i'm mediately proceed to get the machinery in shape for work. According 10 MT. Neagle, no less than ten or twelve men will be put on by the last of this week or the first of next. In other words men will be put on just as fast as there will be a place for them to work There are a good many details that have to be arranged before large force can be put on, but there will un- questionably be a large camp at Gold field by early summer.
 As has been intimated before. the new operators do not propose to use the old shaft at all on account of the fa$t that it is considered in an unsafe condition and would require the eN- pensc of retimbering and constant pumping in order to get out the water. It is well known fact that the over abundance of water has always been a problem for the operators in the Gold field district to solve
 The new shaft will be located short distance from the old one and. will be q tWo-compartment affair. which is, in the opinion of all those who have in "cstigated the ground and expressed themselves, the only way in which to proceed. It is the present intentions to sink the shaft to a depth of 500 feet with extensive drifting at the 400-foot level. at which time the old workings vi'l probably be encountered.
 MT Neagle after briefly outlining the plans said: We are going to spend a lot of money and we are going to buy d lot of supplies in this town. The work in hand is no hot air proposition and it is going to take money to make mine out of the Mammoth" This is the point which is of vital interest to Mesa A mine at Mammoth and Mesa as the base of supplies will mean more to this town than can be easily calcu- lated. It will be in the same class as benefit to this section as the Roose- velt dam ar a main line railroad
 c B. Shattuck. who. as it lIas been stated before. owns fifteen or sixteen claims ini the Goldfield district. and has already spent several thousand dol lars in the vicinity of the Mammoth, when apprised of the plans for develop ing. as explained by Mir. Neagle. gave it out as his opinion that the two compartment shaft and the sinking of an entirely new shaft. is the only busi- ness like manner in determining the real value of the property.

SYMPATHY OF COMMUNITY
 GOES OUT TO AMOS FAMILY


 The funeral over the remains of Will lie Amos. held at the Baptist church yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, was probably the most largely attended service of the kind upon the occasion of the death of youth that has ever been held in the city. The seating ca pacity of the church was entirely in adequate and even after the aisles had been filled with chairs many stood around the entire wall on either side and in the rear of the room and on the steps leading to the church. all desir- ous by their presence of expressing their sympathy to the bcreaved family and paying their last respects to the deceased.
 Flowers were in profuSion. the altar. the pulpit and the casket being a solid embankment. some of them wreathed into set pieces and some of them scarcely more than a simple rosebud given by some play mate. but every one tribute to the memory of the boy for whom the veil of futurity has been lifted
 The funeral sermon was delivered by the pastor. Rev C. Sidney Maddox, and the music was furnished by the Baptist choir.
 The doors of the Salt River Valley bank remained closed during the after noon. Mir Amos, the father. being one of the directors of, that inctitution. During the funeral at the church there was perceptible Hull in all the busi- ness houses. and one of the noticeable things during the services was the large number of business men present. A large concourse of sorrowing friends followed the remains to the Mesa cem- etery, where burial took place.

 , MT. Hill replied that there was no question in his mind but that sucu d contract would be entered into and that it would be possible tb keep the water down to reasonable level. However. he added. it would be no more possible to guarantee that it could be kept down than it would he possible to guarantee that the Roose- welt dam would not go out ar the

Mr. Hill Talked.

Mir. Hill was introduced to the gath ering by President Jones and spoke briefly before the opportunity was of fered for the asking of questions. He related something of the history os the Roosevelt dam. it's construction. etc. and spoke something Of the plans the government was now engaged in car rying out in the matter Of canals. on the subject of drainage he stated that while in his estimation it would bc possible to drain the land requiring il with series of drain ditchcs. he did not regard that method as practical and economical one owing to the flat ness of the land. It 'was his opinion that the pumping system of drainage would be better one: more feasible and more satisfactory in it's results. The first water pumped. said Mir. Hill. could hardly be used for irrigating purposes. but later on it would be very valuable and the high lands along the mountains southwest of here could bc irrigated by that means and he made very valuable. Those lands. NIT. Hill had heard stated. if irrigated. would make the best orange section in the valley.
