Welcome, Arizona. The long
delayerd right of statehood is now
yours. intelligence, courage
and patience, your people have re-
scued a wide areafrom theH desert
and made it "a fraultful land. Your
climate, your mines and your fer

one of the best in the union, wise

The personal dissection of pre-

Gila Valley Is World Beater

John Hagan, manager of the

the Arizonian yesterday with a
basket of as fine pears and ap-
Piles as were ever grown. The
pears of the Bartlett variety
average over a pound apiece, and
Mr.. Hagan says that not only is
the crop exceptionally choice this
year, Of which the specimens on
hand are convincing evidence,
but also exceptionally bountiful,
which means a handsome sum

pies also are fine and will COM

FATAL RAIL ROAD WRECK
Brakeman Crushed to Death I'm
der Tons of Ore.

About Z o'clock Sunday morn
ing a disastrous wreck of an ore
train on the Shannon-Ari-
zona railway occurred about one
and one-half miles below Metcalf.
Seven cars of ore were precipi-
tated down off the high grade by
the breaking of a dry wall, the
distance being over 65 feet. The
engine had passed over when the
break occurred and the ore cars
fell upon the A. G. Coronado

GRADY HAS CLOSE CALL
Overcome by Heat Nearly Per-

Harry w. Grady, an employee
of the Arizona Copper Co.'S store,
had narrow escape from death
in the hills near York station, on
the A. & N. M. Ry., Sunday last
when for tWenty-one hours he
lay on the ground in an uncon-
scious condition, overcome by
heat while hunting in that vicin-
ity. The young man in company
with Max Pierce and C, r. Cliff
ford took the morning train from
Clifton to Sheldon, where they
alighted and started on their
hunt alongside the railroad track
toward York station. The party
became separated early in the
morning, and upon the arrival of
Messrs. Pierce and Clifford at
York Mr.. Grady had not yet put
in an appearance. His compan-
ions waited until the arrival of
the afternoon train and still Mr..
Grady was missing. They came
to Clifton and upon learning that
their companion had not returned
to town the alarm was given and
searching parties were organized.
About ten o'clock NJ md ay
morning he vas seen by Messrs.
POrtiers and Blair who were trav-
cling over the road between York
and Sheldon. When found the
young mans mind was wander
ing and his tongue was swollen
to twice it's normal size. He was
brought to Clifton with all speed
and physicians summoned. Upon
arrival here Mr.. Grady was suf-
ferirg from heart failure, but on
Tuesday was out OF danger.
While following game in the
hills south of Sheldon, Mr.. Grady
was overcome by the heat. He
pitched forward on his face and
lay in an unconscious condition
for several hours. Early Monday
morning a rain began falling
which revived him to some ex-
tent and he stumbled toward the
railroad tracks where he was
picked up by the railroad men on

Where the Fine Gold Grows

The Prescott National bank
received from a placer miner in
Black Canyon nearly $1OO worth
of small gold nuggets which were
valued at nearly 500 an ounce, or
practically as pure as standard
gold, says Prescott paper. This
is said to be the highest grade
that has ever been mined in the
county, but is characteristic of
the section it comes from. Rich
Hill is said to be the next in rank
in production of high grade gold,
which runs on an average to over
$l8 per ounce.

Arizona Dates Equal to Those
Of Arabia.

Dates grown on the govern
ment date farm at Tempe are now
on sale in the Phoenix market.
They are said to be thoroughly
ripened and as luscious as any
that refresh the pilgrim on his
journey through the hot sands of
Araby.
The growing Of dates, says the
Republican, is destined to become
a great industry in the southwest
in very few years. Indeed,
there is now produced greater
tonnage of this fruit than most
people imagine, and last year a
considerable quantity of it was
marketed in Los Angeles. I'm
doubtedly there will be greater
yield this year. There are now
a great many trees in the valley,
and it is to be expected that be-
fore many years have passed
there will be numerous orchards
of dates planted with a view to
commercialism rather than novel
ty or home use.
The particular value of the date
is that it grows best on alkali
land where little else can be rails
ed and there are many such tracts
available in the southwest. The
government has demonstrated
that dates may be grown here as
successfully as on their native
soil and it is shown by the de-
mand of the market that there
will be buyers for all that can be
produced in competition with the
imported product.

Miss Shepherd comes to us from

for her ability as a teacher, and

TWIN PEAKS LOOMS UP
Development Work Progressing
In Satisfactory Manner.

Out at Twin Peaks mines about
IA miles north of York station
on the A. & N. NJ, there is a
representation of expert and
economical mining by gentlemen
who have controlled these prop
critics for the past five years.
A great deal of work has been
done, not all in one place, but
for several miles the company
has demonstrated that gold and
silver abounds in paying values.
The work in the main gold
shaft now reaches a depth of 265
feet, while the various drifts
reach an extent of 800 feet. This
work has all been done system
atically in order to block out the
ore chutes so as to be handled
cheaply when the mill is in
stalled.
A few days since R. C. Ladd,
in charge of the A. C.. power
house, No. 4, visited the Twin
Peaks and as he has mined in
Honduras, Central America, for
over two years, also in Nicura-
qua and Mexico, his opinion is
such that carries weight with ex-
perienced mining men. His ex-
pressions of the formation and
character of the ore of the Twin
Peaks is such that little doubt
can be had as to permanency and
richness.
Mr.. Ladd spent ten years at
the mines of Lake Superior,
North Shore, Canada, and while
there had charge of the power
house of one of the deepest mines

So serious is becoming the
question of supplying ties for

system recently sent it's man.
ager of the timber and tie de.
partment on tour to the
Orient and Europe, to make a
study of conditions. 1t was
learned, among other things,
that 300 years ago. the Japanese
government began to conserve
it's forests; and that, as a result
of it's foresight, Japan is now
selling ties to railroads in this
country and Mexico. There is
a duty of twenty per cent on
e:ch tie imported into t IN e
United States. That we should
be paing 20 per cent duty on
ties is one, among many con-
stantly accumulating evi
dences, of the thoughtless ex-
travigance with which our
magnificent timber supply has
been ruthlessly swept away.

How to Plant Trees

Much of the success in tree
planting comes in planting the
trees right. L. r. Waldron
gives the following instructions
in his third annual report of the
Dickinson sub.station:
In planting the trees we take
ground at least two years old.
Deep burrows are plowed every
8 feet. The trees that are used
are generally seedlings from 1s
to "a inches high. A pail of
very thin mud is prepared and
a bunch of each kind of trees is
kept in it. Trees are planted
by one man, using spade. The
spade is inserted at the bottom
of the furrow and worked back
and forth to form a wedge
shaped opening. The root of
the tree is inserted as the spade
is withdrawn. After the remov.
al of the spade, dirt is pressed
firmly around the roots of the
