Fruit Production.

The production of apples in this
country Dining the last six years has
averaged over 6O,OO0,O0O barrels. The
estimated value of this apple crop for
1915 was $145, 100000. The product
of peaches in 1914 was estimated at
54,000O00 bushels, and of pears for
that year 100000 bushels. Consid-
ering all of the hardy fruits of the
North and the tropical fruits of the
South, what vast bulk is gathered
every year. Surely famine and star
walton cannot come TO country thus
supplied.

 reasons for his becoming interested in the property, saying: q have a; my camp in the south an old Mexican. named Pablo Montoya, and for over year he has frequently referred to this particular piece Of ground, firmly believing bonanza would be develop cd if small capital was outlayed. This man also stated that he was in Yava- pal during the Apache days and work1 cd for Mir. Swain for several months.
 He also was familiar with the Rich
 Hill gold diggings and his wonderful memory impressed me to that extent that I brought him to the Swain prop
 srty. He told the truth and went
 direct to the old workings. But time had changed the formation and only faint trace of early development was left The ground carries good indi- cations, however, and few prospect holes showed fair values in banning. I will establish camp later and start developing"

 He stated yesterday that for the sixth time in three months he was called to Prescott to consult with op- orators concerning the sale of his holdings but the wide breach between himself and the prospective buyers prevented mutual and satisfactory agreement being reached for turning over his gold group. Mir. Cross says he will discontinue dickering and start to milling ore at once. He has a plant on the ground and sufficient ore is ready for breaking to run for the next six months. "I am not anxious to sell, as there is a bank on my ground to draw on and from the size of the healthy shoot there is no req son to feel alarmed at present over the mineral institution refusing to meet payments" he said.

 Whether the carrying of q bottle of liquor in ones pocket constitutes a violation of the prohibition amend ment as amended at the last election which inhibits the transportation of liquor from one point 10 another with in the confines of the State of Ari- zona. will be decided in the Superior court at no distant day.
 The point arose in the cases of NJ. Rodgers and O. |. Soone, two men who were arrested on the Sth of the month by Policeman McMahon. Each was carrying a pint flask in his hip pocket and the charge made against them was violating the dry law. Their preliminary examination was held be- fore Justice Of the Peace McLane last Saturday evening at which time he took the case under advisement. His decision was rendered yesterday, bind ing the two men over to the Superior court for trial
 A similar case arose in Tucson a few days ago, but after preliminary hearing the accused was discharged from custody, the justice holding that the mere possession of liquor did not come within the purview of the law. The local case, will therefore, be fol- lowed with a great deal of interest, for in event of conviction or acquittal it will establish a precedent for the future guidance of officers and the courts

 FOR THREE CELEBRATIONS
(From Wednesday's Daily.l

It is the plan of the advertising committee of the Yavapai County Chamber Of Commerce for the year 1917, that as much early publicity as possible be given to the three large celebrations, which command so much of the work of the chamber of com merce For that reason, 1t is expect ed that the dates for the holding of the Chautauqua, Frontier Days and the Northern Arizona Fair will be announced as early as possible, 1t being the suggestion of the commit tee, that meetings be held without de- lay and the dates finally fixed. Thousands of pieces of literature and advertising data are sent out by the chamber of commerce office monthly, and in most instances, valuable pub licity could be given these celebra- tions, if only by calling attention to the dates. It is also planned that all stationery of the chamber of com merce shall bear the dates for the holding of these three entertainments.
 Within the next week, the agricul- tural and horticultural list for the
 Northern Arizona Fair will be turned
 over to the printer for publication, after which it will be distributed to the farmers throughout Northern
