Climate and Soil.
MORE CLIMATE AND

The wise farmer wants more climate
and less land and this IS going to
bring the eastern farmer 10 the west,

agent for the Sunset Central lines. who

THE farmers in our colder states
are Just coming to recognize the econ
Omic features of this section. particu-
larly the right climatic conditions with
relation to crop production" said Mr..
1Iauu
1T is the irrigated sections Of the
United States that are now attracting
wide attention from farmers Of the
humid regions They know now as
never before that soil, sunshine and
right quantity and at the right temper
allure. is simply crop insurance, and
takes their industry out Of The uncer-
tain class, removes the hazard to a
great extent and places it upon a sub
stantiaI- basis
The wise farmer Of today knows
what he wants He wants more eli
mate and less land than his father
had 1t was only natural that the early
settlers on the north Atlantic coast
should think more Of land than OF
climate. They were born with win
ter in their blood and land is always
cheap in the wilderness The very
climatic conditions made necessary a
considerable acreage, since crops were
dependent upon the Tagaries OF the
weather. But today we are in a new
age The farmers work, the soil. seed
selection, methods Of culture, the value
Of temperature and moisture at the
right time receive much attention from
experts, and We have as the result OF
study and experiment a new agricul-
tUre.
Fewer acres and better tillage' is
the WatchWOrd. The secretary Of agri-
culture at Washington says; PrOduc-
ton and not acreage is the measure Of
profit and moisture at the right time
and the right temperature all the time
is the measure Of production that is
to say, climate is more important than
acreage
The fortunate combination OF cir
cumstances that makes irrigation
necessary in the FL PasO section is
clearly TO the advantage Of the farmer
who locates here Tt is merely scieu-
tific agriculture; knowledge applied to
crop production The irrigation far
mer upon the lands in southwest Texas
can become the most prosperous far
mer in the world Success under such
conditions as exist here is almost a
mathematical certainty

Mir. Bond himself has several groups of claims, on all of which he has done a good deal of work, and taken out considerable ore, some of it high grade and profitable to ship, and a great deal of 1t good concern trating ore. He has the Poluchi and the Cobre groups, on the first about 1000 feet of work, on the second $50. He has also the Silver group showing a great deal of. high grade silver ore. That is under under option to Eastern capital.
 Above the Bond groups in that canon are the properties of the Pittsburg-Arizona Company, upon which there was done a great deal of good development several years ago, by Mir. T. A. Cox, who was superintendent for the company. It is reported that operations are about to be resumed there.

 Declining a cordial invitation to remain all night at the Bond place l continued on my way, with the intention'of going to the couu- try where are the camps of John Allen and Ed. Castaheda of Ben. son, and the Sheehy Brothers x O'Donnel. It is only five or six miles, butin that distance I ac complished some .of the lofuest mountain climbing that have ever undertaken. The trail led up rover lofty ridges and down into deep cahoQs, close up under the shadow of the summit of Mt. Gr6svenor. the most westerly and. lower of the two great peaks of th- Santa.Ritas visible from No8ales: The other is Mt. Wrightson cold  'Baldy"0.' When one gets up in. there he finds there is a third great peak, the name of which is .M:. Hargrove. The very sum. nit of this third peak is visible from NogaIes behind Mt.

Columbus, Ohio, being the receivers. Beside the obligations of the shares of all those corporations there is large issue of bonds, and from all sources there has been realized a great deal of money. It is a long story, replete with tales of top heavy management, high priced officials, expensive offices in the East, and small expenditures at the mines. With what truth l cannot vouchsafe, it is related that when the accounts were checked up for the receivers there were found charged against the Alto mines $9S0,000, for which tremen- dous sum there had been run a tunnel 2400 feet in length, cross cut 1000 feet long a system of roads that cost $4500, a tele- phone line to Patagonia, and some machinery. And all that work and money cut into an ore body but 100 feet below the bottom of a shaft that had been sunk several hundred feet under a former own ership. It is work such as that des- cribed in the foregoing that gives mining so much i'll repute and makes it hard for legitimate opera tors to raise money to expend. in honest development.
 At Alto I called on Mir. A. w. Chapman, well known cattIeman who makes his home there now, but was out riding the range. Mrs. Chapman informed me that she had received last week letter from Miss Beulah Smithson, visiting at her home in Virginia, conveying the information that she will return to Santa Cruz county next week, ready to resume Der school work at Alto, where she has taught with great satisfaction. Miss Smithson taught in Nogales several years, and at other points in Santa Cruz county, and has maintained always a high reputation as a capable and efficient educator.
 From Alto l took my way up along the flank of the mountain passing Wandering Jew cafon without going up, because l expect to be there again shortly, and chronicle something doing in both the Jew and the M. < s. group oI mines.
 In the Wandering Jew canon beside the two groups of mines are the miues of the Santa Rita Mines x Reduction Company, another O. the ill lated enterprises which have started in with bright prospect; and succumbed from mismanage ment and top heaviness. The com pany named bought from Mark and Louis Lulley and their associ ates the Apache Chief group o mines, paying $40,000, and an in terest in the shares. Work was started with $40,000 in the treas ury. Several carloads of ore were shipped at profit, and then th' property shut down for want 0 funds to proceed any farther, wher' none of the shareholders seem ed disposed to make an! effort to raise more.

twice a year and put up at the Montezuma at Nogales few weeks, going out to the mine occasionally, then returning to Cincinnati. The superintendent was there but part of the time, and what work was performed could have been done just as we'll by the four dollar day fore man, without anybody over him. Including the foreman it has been estimated that from S10,000 to $12,000 per annum were spent in bossing the work of six Mexican miners at $9 per day for the entire force. Twenty-seven dollars per day or more to boss $9 worth of labor. They sunk a shaft 400 feet deep. At 165 feet they cut through fine ledge of high grade shipping ore, several feet in width, which was pitching into the mountain at an angle of 22Go. That was where they. got the ore they shipped, real izing handsome return. At the bottom of the shaft they started a crosscut toward the ore body devel- oped above, ran 1t twenty feet and shut down. It is said that they reported that the ledge was not to be found below. But any school boy who has advanced in arithmetic so far as mensuration' could have told them that given ore body going down at an angle of 22%o cannot be reached 235 feet below by a twenty-foot Crosscut.
 Over the other side of the noun tain, on the slope going toward Sonoita, in the camp of the August mine, which is one of a bunch E known at times as the Hosey group, from an operator who had the pro- perty in hand several years ago and has been taken over recently by Colonel o. P. Posey and asso- ciates, who are now working the property under lease; the vendors being Neil Mcdonald, John A Me- Donald and August Yarick of Pata gonia. Colonel Posey is very con fident that he will turn out a great mine. ..
 The lodges over that side of the mountain are said to be extensions of those on the southwest side, or vice versa; but there is a difference of opinion as to which, and where they come through: Some of the experts with whom l have con versed, notably Mr. A. B. Rich mond, formerly manager for the Mansfield Mining Company, anC Frank Reichert, hold that the August ledge comes through the mountain into the Wandering Jew and that both of those mines art on the same ledge. Others, incfud ing MT. Josiah Bond, hold that t'tht August ledge comes through into the Pittsburgh Arizona Company ground, and that the Wandering Jew is an extension of the ledge through the Ruby property of th' Mansfield Mining Company, far ther down the gulch on chat sid of the mountain, from which ther
 was taken considerable high grad
 ore.
