HIGHLAND ELBERTA'S
 BEING GATHERED

The large crop of Elberta peaches at Highland and other orchards along the line of the Prescott X Northwestern Rail road are ripe and something like l,oOO men are engaged in picking and packing them Hardee, Me Farland X Hunt, who have offices in the Bank of Prescott building on East Elm and Second Streets in this city have imported from Florida 210 expert packers to handle the fruit from the High. land orchard. This orchard alone calculates on sh hipping between 6OO and 700 cars of peaches and the crops from the smaller or chards t h ere will probably amount to POO cars.
 The yield this season is far in excess of the crop last year and the quality is good, but the price will not be as good as it was last year, at which time this section was the only one that had full crop.
 The crop this season is almost thirty days later than it was last year probably on account of the season. On the 5th of July last year harvesting this crop was in full swing. Saturday night and Sunday morning twenty cars were brought in and about thirty are expected to arrive here this evening. From this time until the entire crop is gathered there will be from thirty-tive to sixty cars shipped through here daily,
 The Iron Mountain railroad have refrigerator cars on every siding near Prescott and the P. X N. W. line have all their sidings full and it may be necessary to suspend operating the Ozan plan ing mill and use the sidings for the refrigerator cars. An icieng plant has been built just be- yond the Ozan saw mill and the cars are iced there before being carried out on the road.
 Those who have never witness ed the harvesting of large peach crop would be well repaid for the trip to this big orchard during the harvest. Besides the gather ing of the peaches there is large cannery there which will also be in operation, taking care of the fruit which is not suitable for shipping and which has hereto fore been total loss.

LENGTHY IMPRISONMENT.

Nottinghamshire, by heavy fall OF
roof, was rescued alive and well, the
other day, after fortnight's impris-

clear the roads which had fallen into
disrepair owing to the strike when
the fall, amounting to several hun
dreds Of tons of rock, took place. The
miners Immediately set to work to
rescue the animal. First narrow
avenue was forced, and through this

BIRD MIGRATION.

The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions
is extraordinary, and as one listens
to their plaintive cries coming from
the darkness overhead it is difficult
to realize that in few hours these
same birds may be within the arctic
circle and little later may be even
crossing the pole itself. Less
is known of the actual dates of the
departure of the migratory birds in
autumn than of those of their arrival
earlier in the year, and this for OBJ
vious reasons. The way in which our
most charming songsters silently
skulk out of the country in the au-
tumn is very different from that in
which they make their triumphal
entry in the spring when every wood
and copse resounds with their mel
odies-Windsor Magazine.

STILL IN PRIMITIVE STATE
chocos indiana Of Panama Free With
sImpIe Hospitality and Small

Professor Pittier Of the United
States agricultural department, who
was recently sent to Panama for Boz
tanical study, has done some remark
able work for the Smithsonian insti-
tuition in regard to exploring among
the original inhabitants Of that re-
gion. !
He visited tribe Of Indians
known as the Chocos. They lived
on the southwestern coast Of Pana-
ma, and Professor Pittier thinks
they are descendants Of the tribes
which inhabited that part Of the
world when Columbus discovered
Santo Domingo.
They are tall and stalwart, with
kindly natures, a free hospitality and
an innate honesty. Few white men
have ever been among them. Tribes
of somewhat similar nature are
also found on the southeast coast,
many of them having never seen
white face in their lives. While the
Republic of Panama nominally rules
this section, the truth is that these
Indians govern themselves entirely,
have absolutely no intercourse with
the whites, do not allow a white man
to visit their lands and still fly the
Colombian flag.
Their houses are grass huts, their
clothing is almost nothing, but they
seem to enjoy life in spite of the fact
that they are unacquainted with the
benefits of religion, fashion, society
and government.
