The di.scovery of new coal fields in
Sonora. Mexico, is the subject of
much favorable comment by our ex
changes from Southern Arizona.
Judging from the tone of some of the,
notices given, it is strange that sn
many of the newspapers of that sec
tion know nothing of the large coal
Ileitis lying in Coconino and Apache
counties. These fields are the largest
west of the continental divide, and
will supply the I'acific coast for ages
to come. In many placet the coal de
posits are forty feet deep and twenty
feet wide, and contains the best of
coal for domestic purposes.
These fields commence east of the
Little Colorado river, and extend
nonhead to the San Juan, covering
many hundreds of square miles ol val
uable coal lands.
In eastern Apache county, north
east of St. Johns, there are als-i laig
coal Held which are inexhatist im.
There i.; no need for Arizona to look
ouUide of her own limits for a supply
of fuel for the present or futuie.
The reason that these coal deposits
remain untouched is that they arc. at,
present, too far from the railroad, and
that there is but little demand for
coal, beyond the supply now made
from the (iallup coal fields. Willi
greater demand roads will be built to
the new source of supply, and Arizona,
can supply the world with coal.
How to Keep (.rape.
The I'arm and Home says there are
hundreds of barrels of grapes annually
sent from Spain, and they have to be
kept weeks and months after picking.
The fruit is cut from the vines with a
sharp kniie before it is overripe. It
is spread on benches, twelve to eight -
