MINES AND AGRICULTURE


 at Rodeo. x. M. on Saturday. October IA, in which the people of both the new states, lying in the San simon valley and surrounding mountains are heartily united. From one and all will come one Of the finest exhibits in any states not 10 mention the des- ert in which they were grown
 The unusual rainfall this past sum- mer has resulted in big crops of hay. 1 kinds that warm the cookies of the hearts of the people, making a day of rejoicing one Of real celebration. Ii is 10 be day Of showing ones neigh bors what has kept you home all the long summer and fall months. it was 10 plant, cultivate and harvest the beans, corn, melons, pumpkins. pota- toes, maize, sorghum, apples and al- falfa. To market the biggest peach crop ever grown, and last but net least, 10 put in stack the seven or l eight different kinds of native grasses | for the use Of the stock that must ! be kept up during the winter, also ! to ship by carload 10 Fl Paso and other points where il will bring good ! prices
 ! Results to be Shown. ] During all the past months each man has worked with the light he had. in planting. cultivating and harvest ing, and the exhibit will show the re- suits of his methods and there he will make his comparisons with his neigh nors. Here ne will talk over the best ways of irrigation, whether by pumping or storing the flood waters, or by the ditch system. As the Virtue Mining and Development company are completing plans to install in electric power plant in Cave Grove, thus mak- i ing the power to pump. a cheap power. and since pumping by electric power has been proven in New Mexico at Portales and elsewhere, and the wells Of the San Simon valley have been ex- hausted by pumping them with gasol- inc engines, this is likely to be the first and most efficient test made by these farmers, aii of whom are peased with the prospect Of cheap power for pumping
 Interchange of Ideas.
 Prizes have been offered for the best exhibits of any kind. and a second prize for the second best. With in. dividual prizes for the woman bring ing the best pickled, preserved or canned fruit
 As each farmer or miner arrives. one Of the comittee, while aiding him to place his exhibit. will secure his history, how much water was used in lTrisating, when planted and some Of the difficulties encountered in the cultivation, all Of which will be type written and placed on exhibit, making tt possible Tor the stranger and neigh. Tor alike. to know who's work speaks SO loud in his praise To see this exhibit will forever silence the skep- tic as 10 what the soil in this part of Cochise county will produce.
 Several alfalfa fields are being cut for the fourth time this year. and the scarcely one year old. are yielding from three to four tons to the acre at each cutting, which at the price alfalfa is bringing is not a bad invest ment.
 One Trees Effort.
 One peach tree in James Rows or ehard. bearing for the first time pro- duced fifteen dollars worth of fruit. He also has an apple tree that has al this time ripe apples, green apples and blossoms all at the same time. nor has it been without blossoms all summer or fall
 Another peach tree belonging to George A. Walker in Paradise. pro- duced iorty-iive dollars worth of fruit No better peaches and apples can be found than are grown in Cochise eoun- " and the California mountains.
 There will be lectures on the sub jects of farming, irrigation, planting. culture, from professors from the Uni versity of New Mexico and Arizona as a means of getting the people to study the best methods of handling this soil Under these climatic conditions. It IS further planned 10 have a series of lectures during the coming winter along the lines Of scientific farming as adapted 10 this section.
 The Fl Paso and Southwestern rail- way has informed the committee through Eugene Fox, the general passenger agent. that a representative of that road will be present at the ex- hiDition, through the traffic depart ment that they are ready and will at all times do all they can to further the best interests of the people of the valley and the mountain.
 Mining Matters.
 The revival of the mining interests in the Paradise districts. whose out let is through the San. Simon valley IS reassuring to the people who have always had faith in the district. thai its ore bodies are equal to the best in Arizona. and surpassed by none, not excepting Bisbee as for quantity. None of the mining camps of the great southwest have greater out croppings than those that can be seen by these who care to visit the noun tains in and about Paradise. The Paradise Mining and Milling company are about 10 complete a le0-ton con centrator to handle all the ores pro- duced in the district This plant Is built so that it's capacity may be in- eresasd without changing the present |. plants working capacity.
 So sanguine is this company as to what they can do that they are work ing two properties themselves. talk i ing out from four to five tons daily. {. which is carted on burros to the min T. B. Cunningham. general manager. 1 has taken a claim en which he has sunk shaft thirty feet deep and finds i pay ore from the surface down. This I ore has shown up in large bodies. ..s
