"PAY DIRT" UNDER NEW YORK
Legend Which Seems to Point to Elk
istence of Gold Under Streets of
the Metropolis.

A Philadelphia assayer, Walter
Scott by lame. recently took several
handfuls Of sand from a street exca-
walton near independence hall, and
after putting it through an assaying
process, extracted a small quantity OF
gold. He declared there was enough
gold under Philadelphia, in his opin-
ion. to make hunting it worth while.
Residents of Upper Manhattan re-
member Thomas HaTtshorn, an eccen-
trio chap who lived in the vicinity of
One Hundred and Sixth street and
Fifth avenue for many years. One of
his hobbies was absolute faith in the
divining rod. He talked about its un-
erring certainty in the pointing out
Of metal for many years until he could
seem to talk of nothing else, and he
got to be known as the Rod Crank.
One afternoon several years ago
Hartshorn sailed forth from his home
and, entering Central park, took his
way to where the McGown's Pass tav
ern now stands. In those days it was
the Mount ST. Vincent House of Re
freshment. Several boys noticed
Hartshorn walk along the path to the
east of the tavern and hold out his
diyining rod. Presently he was seer
to stop and, after looking around tt
see il he was observed, stick a SINAI
stake into the grass.
One of the boys Swallowed him fol
the remainder of the day and told hi
father. That night Hartshorn was fol
lowed to the place of the stake ant
they saw the Rod Man fill a pail wit
sand. The news spread the next da,
or two that Hartshorn had found gold
The Rod Man denied it UP t
the time he died, and many Harlem
ties still believe there is gold near Nd
Gowns pass.-New York Sun.

2ud Member for Christiansted Town
(Cuueoata( asked, if the tax was collected
for tue time gone for 1914 ind the pant Of
1915.
His Excellency the actg. Vice-Governor
(Buumuau) answered, that it was due to an
oversight that the Tux had net been fixed in
time but there was precedeDce for 1T. At
all events Government could have collected
80 dollars, which according to the Law WAS
the minimum.
The Chairman (Stahenaann) said, that
there was a mistake IN the Councils proceed
iugs of the meeting the 49, March 1911
where it was stated that the tax for the
three years 1911-13 was fixed at 25O FIRES.
but the Councils letter to Government
shows the amount 800 Frcs.
No one demanded the word and the
Chairman (Stakenanmn) put the proposal of
fixing the tax to 300 Frcs TO the vote.
1t was adopted with 3 votes for, none
against.

TIMELY ADVICE.

It is important that those who are buying and setting out fruit trees and small fruits be very careful in the selection of their plants and in having them in spected, advices A. l.. Paschall, Farm Advisor for Cochise and Santa Cruz Counties of the Uni
 versity of Arizona agricultural extension service and United States department of agricul- tuIe Wherever possible every farmer should have a home or chard and it is important to him that he put out good, sound plants of the right varieties. I have recently seen in home or chards trees of good varieties, six to eight years of age, which should be annually producing good crops of excellent fruit, but were not. An examination at the base of the trees revealed the cause of the stunted growth and non- bearing or poor pro- ductive quality of the trees; ; there were large roughened knots, crown gall. Woolly aphis was also present on some of the trees At the present time pro- vision is made for the inspection of all nursery stock brought into the state. This is very import ant to the fruit grower and if by any chance a shipment is deliv- cred without a certificate of re- lease from an Arizona inspector the trees should be held and the nearest inspector or the sta te entomologist at Phoenix notified.
 A mistake which MT. Paschall has noted lately is the setting out of two or threeyear old trees instead of one-year trees. The one year-old trees are nor e vigorous and usually make 8 more rapid growth than the older stock. k.-Exchange.

BACA FLOAT CASES.
Purpose of Litigation Is to Settle Title
 Among Claimants.

Taking of testimony in the suit to quiet title to Baca Float No. 8 occupied the entire day in the United States federal court yesterday and the arguments in the case were not reached, says yesterdays Arizona Star.
 The case is for the purpose of settling title among the various claimants. Among various moot ed questions at law that are in volved in the issue is the point as to whether a certain convey ance is deed or mortgage. The plaintiffs in the case yester- day were Watts and Davis, and the defendants, the Arizona Copper Estate.
 The next case that will come up is that in which the plain tiffs are Cornelius Watts and Dabney c. T. Davis, Jr.. and the de- fendants, the Santa Cruz Deve- lopment Company, James B. Bouldin, Jenie B Bouldin, Joseph E. Wise, Lucia J. Wise, Mar garet w. Wise, Jessie H.. Wise, John Bouldin, Mary Bouldin and w. G. Refenburg.
 / The case is notable mainly for the array of noted legal talent represented. Representing the plaintiffs, Watts and Davis, are Attorneys s. l.. Kingan of Tue son, Herbert Noble of New York, and H. P. Heath of New York. The Bouldin heirs are repre- sented by former Judge Camp bell of Tucson, former Senator Joseph w. Bailey and Weldon M. Bailey. The Santa Cruz De- velopment company is repre- sented by J. H. Brevelier of New York. The Arizona Cop per Estate is represented by J.. H. Brevelier of New York and Ben c. Hill of Tucson. Joseph Wise and wife are represented by Attorney s. M. Franklin of Tucson, and Jesse Wise and Margaret Wise are represented by Attorney James R. Dunseath of Tucson.
 The motion to continue in be half of Margaret Wise and Jess Wise was denied by Judge Saw telle at the opening of court yes terday morning. The cases will be continued today.
