MANY ARE LOCATING
SAN SIMON LANDS
Rush Follows Discovery of Water Near
Surface and Land Values Are
Rapidly Rising.

San Simon. Ariz., Dec. 18.-Residents
here feel that the San Simon valley is
coming into her own. There is great
enthusiasm among the people Bug
gies, wagons and horses and travellers
on foot are heard all night going out
locating vacant land.
The immediate cause is the compile
ton of a 1000 gallon pumping plant a
few miles east of San Simon, on I. c.
Benizer's ranch The BOehm brothers
are the men who have had faith. pa
thence and pluck to produce results.
The well is $50 feet deep; has a. ten
inch bore; water in two feet of the
surface, and, when a small Layton
pump was installed, had ?. 40 foot lift
This is considered to mean that the
San Simon valley, in its water resources
is a sheet proposition, and that an
artesian flow or a pumping plant can
be had anywhere that a hole large
enough and deep enoguh is drilled to
let the water out The valley is
basin into which all the streams Of
the Chiricahua mountains, on the west
and south, find their way above and
below the surface. So also do the
waste waters of the Animas valley on
the east. Being several hundred feet
higher than the San Simon. and hay-
ing no outlet, there being a high broad
table land, its waters must find their
way to a lower level somewhere. Land
values are now increasing rapidly.

FAREEING
FIFTY BALES ARE
TO Cross OCEAN
Government Agent Secures
Samples to Furnish New
England Spinners.

Mesa, Ariz., Dec. 1S.-Fifty bales of
Egyptian cotton have been ordered
from the Mesa Cotton Growers ex-
change for sale on the Liverpool. Eng,
market. This is the first order ever
received from a foreign country for
Arizona cotton ana viii establish the
status of that product in the markets
of the world, it is believed.
Fred Taylor, a representative of the
department Of agriculture, at Wash
ingtOn, is now here for the purpose Of
inspecting the local cotton situation,
securing samples and, upon his return
east, placing them before the spinners
of New York and New England. ". S.
DOrman has been detailed by the eX-
change to accompany Mr.. Taylor on
his tour Of the valley and also to go
with him when he returns east. They
will go first to Washington, where
DOrman will secure statistics of inter
est to Arizona cotton growers. From
Washington they will go to New York,
thence to Boston and other milling
centers. DOrman's orders are to dis
pose of the crop to be best advantage,
preferably to a number of firms. If he
does not find conditions in New Eng
land satisfactory he is authorized to
rope. Last year the entire crop Of
the exchange was sold to the American
Thread company.
Exchange Removes Price Limit.
the crop the members of the exchange
removed the minimum price Of %
cents recently set. There is no pros
pect that any cotton will be sold un-
der 81 cents a pound. The best Egypt
ian cotton is now quoted at 26% cents
on the Liverpool market.
H s. Barber, a specialist on classtft-
cation of the cotton boil Weevil for the
national museum, is now in this sec
ton looking for a certain plant COM
monty called wild cotton, which is in
tested with boil Weevil He has found
the plant in the mountains near Tue
son, where he spent several weeks, and
also near Fish Creek station, on the
road to Roosevelt For the next few
weeks Barber will be working in the
mountains around the Salt River val
ley. From here he will go to Globe
and Roosevelt to pursue his investiga-
tons Scott Wilson, Of the entomo-
logical laboratory established in Mesa,
is cooperating with Barber.
There is no reason for alarm on the
part of the farmers, as the cotton boil
weevil has not been found on any cot
ton grown in the Salt River valley,
nor has the Weev1 which attacks the
wild cotton been found on any Of the
domestic plants. Short staple cotton
seed is denied entrance to Arizona eX-
cept from California, where no Weevu
has vet appeared.
