Bisbee Surface Astounding Those Who Are Giving It Trial - Splendid Results Obtained Making Change


 Exhibited in the windows of Hogan & Seed is an enormous pumpkin, col ored to the highest ideal of the Hal lowe'en season and in general make up a thing that would delight the eye of the most fastidious of New England tanners. Also if would as;ound those same eyes, for they don't know back in New England pumpkins reach aEy sucfi size as the half barrel affairs resting il the Main street window.
 The pumpkin is not the product of a section marked on any map as favored by nature for agricultural purposes. nor is it the product of an agricultlr- al school graduate or expert. On the other hand the grower is a miner and gets his living from daily toll under ground. However. he has few acres up Tombstone canyon. just beyond the city limits, where he takes exercise. The few acres are in reality part Of a mining claim and are surrounded by other mining claims. As everybody in the district knows. Tombstone can yon is mineralized from end to end. It has some of the finest looking crop. pings in the district and on the sur facei is gathered from ledges outcrop- ping here and there some of the rich. est surface ore specimens found in the district It has no mines as yet, but. there is confidence that some day development will turn in that direc- tion, backed by sufficient funds to make thorough test, and that there will then be mines made.
 But ali of this is aside from the tory of the pumpkin and the man with the two acres. Joe Colford. On his little tract Mir. Colford has this year grown some thousands of pounds of the finest peaches ever offered in the lccal market, and next. year he will have more. for there are more trees con3-g in bearing. He has also grown lot of vegetables, and in fac1 has found that his rocky surfaced ground will grow most anything he puts there and grow it well. It is so all the way up Tombstone canyon, where there are number of others who are finding that the under side of the Warren district Is not only rich in mineral wealth but also in those in gredients which give life to trees flowers and plants of all kinds. Tn the canyon will be found some of the most beautiful and thrifty vines, flow CTS and trees to be found anywhere fr the state, and this with the minimum of irrigation. Each year Iatterly the susceptibility of the soil to cultivation has been borne in stronger and strong CT upon residents. with result that there are now things blooming all over the district which it was taken for granted few years back could not be made to thrive here. The out come ultimately is bound to be a very much beautified district in mat ters of plants. not only pleasing to the eve but very satisfying in their food products. Most people. if they real iZed 1t. could raise sufficient garden truck in their yards in the Warren district to supply the better part oi 1 that needed on their tables during the fresh vegetable seasons of the year Some few did so this year. and there ! will be more next Government dis tribution of free garden seeds. through the Review ard the Commercial club the last two years in the early spring seasons, has been the greatest incen l tive to making of this new economic step in the district, encouraging many to make experiments.
