HACIENDA MABABI

Arizona Horticulturist Tells of Plans for
 Sonora Lands


 W. H. Hatcher, Douglas nursery man and florist, returned home yesterday from Hacienda Mababi, headquarters of the Sonora Land and Timber con- pany, where he had been to confer with ]. Thompson Paxton concerning the planting of trees. shrubbery and
 vines on a large plat of ground that
 will surround the new home of Mir
 Paxton. which is now under con struction. The grounds are to have all trees, roses, vines and lawns that will acd beauty 10 the place The hoIde of Mir. Paxton will be one Of the finest to be found in northern Sonora.
 Mir. Hatcher carried with him varied assortment of catalogs and will at once order what has been decided to plant for the beautifica- ton of the Paxton home. Besides these, Mir. Paxton has already placed an order for a large number Of fruit trees, which will go into one of the largest orchards ever planned in this section. When these trees ar rive MT. Hatcher will return to Hacienda Mababi ranch to superin- tend their planting and he will also have charge of the planting of the house grounds when delivery is made on orders sent forward to- day
 MT Hatcher said that MT. Paxton was doing a great deal of work on preliminary requirements with the intention of developing the great estate which he has recently acquir- ed, which includes vast tracts of timber. pasture and agricultural lands. The headQuarter ranch is To- cated beside q creek which is now running better than a good irrigating head of water. This creek is fed by a number Of springs that gush from the foothills before it reaches the ranch. At present workmen are putting in a cement dam. which is sunk deep into the bed of the creek and extends beyond the ex- treme limits of the channel. This dam is for the purpose of forcing all the water in the creek 10 the surface and into irrigating ditches. He says that along the bed of this creek is rich coating of soil iiielNt run lUttihS ttdNeS more than a foot thick. then there is thin strata of gravel and then the surface of routed vegetation of vary ing depth.
 About the ranch house. Mr. Hatch CT says there are great, spreading oak trees with other undergrowth, which marks it as a pretty spot. and where Mir Paxton can make home eXcelled by none for beauty and comfort
 The company already has a saw mill in action and supplying all the rough lumber and fence posts re- quired for the improvements being made at the present time Finished lumber and other material are se- cured in Douglas and at other points.
 It was learned a few days ago that already Mir Paxton had commenced the purchase of cattle for stocking the range lands on the estate which is regarded as equal to any to be found in the southwest Last year there was a start made at agricul tural development and several large gang blows and traction engines 10 pull them were received.
 The distance of Hacienda- Mababi ranch from Yzabal, the nearest rail road station. is sixteen miles over good road
