just now hundreds of fruit
trees are being delivered in Pow.
ell county. These trees come
from one of the best nurseries
and attention should be given to
the best ways of setting, loca'
tiOn etc.
Northern and eastern slopes
are best for apples and peaches
owing to the fact that they warm
up slower in the spring, thus
keeping back the blooming and
danger from frosts grapes
should be put on the southern
slopes.
Set trees IN straight rows so
they can be cultivated. A good
way is to set apple trees 20 or 30
feot apart with a peach tree te'
tween. Peach trees will be dead
by time the apple trees are in
full bearing. Where soil is hea

top equal with the root system,
while some prune in the early
spring. All frozen, dried or bruis-
ed roots should be cut off before
setting. Put the fine mellow soil
in fruit around the roots, the
poorer near the top. Trees should
be set little deeper than they
stood in the nursery and good
idea is to dip the trees in tub
of water just before eOsetting so
the soil will stick closely in the
beginning.
Now that you have the proper
location, trees are properly set,
the next thing is: Protection.
Corn stalks or old papers tied
around the body of the trees will
help to keep the rabbits away at
little expense and have saved
many fruit tree. Make it a
point to give your attention TO
these trees and each year cult

Powell county is adapted to
fruit and with a little time and
work you can have bearing orch

your own home but the markets

NJ. T. Halloran, an arrival from Holbrook during the week, reports lively times prevailing in making loca- tions of oil lands, and to date the flat country adjacent to the town has been taken up to the extent of over l50,e0 acres.
 The occasion for the stampede is due to dykes being opened. and the odor emitted of pronounced oil con- dition. Several oil men from Okla homa. California and Colorado are on the ground, the keen interest they manifested being followed by those residing in the country taking the tip to acquire locations. One rig is being brought in from New Mexico, and various transactions, from taking an option 10 leasing, are being closed up.

OPERATIONS RESUME
 ON THE MONTEZUMA
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesday Daily.)
 ]. P. Waldron, of the Montezuma Mining Co.,, who is in the city, re- ports operations as resuming, and the driving of long tunnel has started under contract. As this develop ment progresses other work is to go ahead, and plans are closed by which there will be no further interruptions to carry out exploration decided upon. This movement for the future of the property, Mir. Waldron states, is due to stockholders being appreciativc of what has been accomplished in that zone of the Bradshaws by deep de- vclopment, and a single illustration, that of the Wildflower, is sufficient to warrant a still further large outlay for the Montezuma. All sections of the Bradshaws are now tecming with activity, and there is no question of the outcome," said this well known mining man yesterday.

 Colonel Thayer is quite familiar with the mining possibilities of this county, and his favorable impression of this field will in all probability be crystallized by himself and associate closing deals. Colonel Thayer also is interested in large water power movement on Burro creek, Eureka district, by which it is contemplated to supply mining camps for radius of nearly 100 miles, with electrical service.
