Arizona'* Early Fruits.
Says the Los Angelos Times:
Los Angeles has already control of
the larger share of lh« Arizona
trade, and the wholesale merchan ts
of this city are making strong ef
forts to obtain the remainder
Many Arizonians spend their sum
mers here to avoid the almost tropi
cal heat of their homes. The result
of this is that much money is
brought into circulation in this
region, especially as Arizona is on
the up-grade of prosperity, and the
good fortune of that territory is an
additional factor in increasing
wealth here.
The products which created
wealth her* tofore in that section
have been cattle and minerals
This has changed. Now grain,
early fruits and vegetables are in
the lead. The very heat which is
discomforting to some is now prov
ing of inestimable advantage in
ripening fruits earlier there than at
any other point in the United
States. Apricots ripen in April,
grapes by the beginning of June,
oranges in September, and water
melons are to be had from the end
of May until Christmas.
The extreme earliness of the
grapes and apricots is a great ad
vantage to Southern Arizona, as
there is no other locality which
produces these fruits in quantity as
early as *hat. There is as yet only
a limited area planted to fruits, but
this is annually becoming larger,
and in time will be known as the
leading locality for the production
of early fruits.
Tne bond of friendship existing
between the people of Arizona and
California is natural, healthy and
strong ; their interests are in many
points mutual and identical. There
can bo no rivalry in a business way;
and as Arizona waxes fat, just so
much more of tribute will be paid
by her to the lovely and entrancing
summer climate of Southern Cali
fornia. As for Arizona’s winters
they are second to none m the esti
maiion of her own people.
A large amount of California
capital is invested in Arizona and
the returns from it will increase for
many years to come, and will bene
fit Los Angeles proportionately.
The great pine forests of Coco
nino county form one of the leading
resources of Flagstaff. A conserva
tive estimate by competent au'hori
ties places the stumpage at not less
than 8,000,000,000 feet. Since the
first saw mill was established here
in 1882, the average annual cut has
been about 13,000,000 feet. Yet
so munificently has nature endowed
the country surrounding Flagstaff
with this staole that the amount
cut only serves to impress the ob
serving with its insignificance as
compared with the appirently in
exhaustible supply yet standing in
primeval dignity and pride. The
Arizona Lumber and Timber Com
pany have here one of the finest
plants in the country, and produce
five times as much lumber as all
other mills of the territory com
bined. They dispense through
their employees about $300,000 an
nually, which t-um in its entirety is
| direct revenue to Flagstaff.—Ex.
i The San Francisco Examiner has
l commenced a suit against the city
[ of Prescott to recover $l5O, alleged

compliance of contract
As many as 200 Phoenician*, in
cluding the commissioners, are esti
• naited to have visited the asylum
f on Decoration Day. All the afeer
-1 noon was devoted to an inspection
* of the reconstructed building, the
’ grounds and the 120 or more pa
tients. Everything was found
‘ trim and the inmates seemed to be
well cared for. At 6 p. ra. a fine
dinner was served and dancing till
1 10.30 o’clock followed. Dr. Hatn
-1 lin, the superintendent, assisted by
bis charming wife, welcomed all
who came, and afforded every op
portunity for examining the condi
tion of the asylum and the tieat
ment of its inmates. The general
conclusion seemed to be that Ari
zona was taking due and tender care
of those whose minds have unfor
tunately gone into eclipse.—Ga

Richard Gird, of the Chino
rancho, makes a comparison of the
yields of the beet sugar factories at
Lehi, 0., and the one at Chino-
Last year the Lehi factory made
3.877,100 pounds of sugar from
26,000 tons of beets, or an average
per ton of 144 pounds. The Chino
factory made 13,500,000 poundsfrom
45,000 tons of beets, or an average
of 300 pounds per ton. This shows
very conclusively that Californians
are fully justified in placing a high
valuation upon their climate.—
South Riverside Bee. And ex
perts are of the opinion that the
Salt River valley would produce a
beet superior to that of California.
The Trippel almond orchard of
forty acres adjoining Mesa City on
the. south, is a living monument to
the possibilities of this class of nut
culture in the Salt River valley.
Under the trained eye of Superin
tendent Herbert, this two-year-old
orchard has become an insepatahle
part of the Southside, and is the
first place to be inquired after by
visitors to Mesa. A trip to this
well managed ranch will more than
repay any one for the trouble.—
Review.
The following is said to be a sure
remedy for pneumonia, scarlet
fever, sore throat, infUmatory dis
eases : Take a cupful of corn meal
and a teaepoonful of salaratus ; mix
them well together with hot water,
making a poultice; put between
two thin cloths and apply as hot as
possible to the affected part, chang
ing as often as it becomes cool.

During the free coinage of silver
, prior to 1873 but about $8,000,000
were coined. This fact is being
used by the enemies of silver to at
tempt to piove that silver would
not be coined now under the same
conditions. The fact is that silver
was at a premium over gold then
and its value was more as bullion
than when coined into dollars.—
Prospector.
1 Over $12,000 o* the Pima coun

, A town or city is Just what its
. citizens make it. Given the right
, sort of people, and a desert waste
! will be transformed 'into a garden
that shall bloom like the rose, and
a straggling settlement into a
thriving city. Given the wrong
, sort of citizens, and all the advan
tages of soil, climate, geographical
position and wealth shall go for
naught. Manufactures do not
make the city; it is the city that
makes the manufacture*. The
stock yards and grain elevators did
not make Chicago; pork packing
did not make Cincinnati; a railroad
centre did not <make Indianapolis.
In each case the city is the cause
and business the effect. These
cities bad public-spirited men, and
they attracted the kind of business
which is located in them—that is
all. The principle involved, may
be applied to a small town as w. 11
as a large city. And what is the
right kind of a citizen 1 He is the
man who does not look across the
continent for an investment, but
spends his money at homo and en
courages home enterprises. The
right kind of citizen knows the dis
tinction between the virtues of
economy, which avoids all waste,
but spends money dredy for public
improvements, and the vice of par
simony, that spends nothing unless
absolutely compelled to. The right
kind of citizen may not be a wealthy
man—indeed, he is more frequently
not one, but he cheerfully helps to
improve and build up the town.
Captaiu W. L. George yesterday
made the first trip to connect with
the north and south road via Wick
enherg and Congress mine. Instead
of twenty-eight hours as formerly
by the Black Canyon route the trip
is now made in twenty-four hours.
After July 1, the service will lie
perfected so as to reduce the time
to sixteen hours. .Prescott and
Phoenix are thus growing closer
together and by becoming near
neighbors both will be materially
benefitted.—Review.
An interesting discovery of an
immense cave or old mine of un
known depth has been made in the
Graham mountains about twelve
miles from Solomonville. It has
been explored for two hundred feet
but the end has not been seen.
Another exploring party specially
fitted out will make another ex
ploration to see whether anj hid
den treasure might be found stored
away.—Democrat.
A man 50 years old has, accor

himself 4,000, walked 12,000 miles,

36,000 meals, eaten 16,000 pounds
of fish, eggs* and drank
7,000 gallons of fluid, which-would
