q Now Rule.

The Mexican government seems to have little faith m the honesty of it's postal employees, or else it is desper- btely anxious to shun responsibility. q rule has recently been established Ehich does not permit money to be ent through the mails in any way bot even in registered package. When a postmaster finds letter con. laining money in the mail, whether Registered or not, he must forward it to ghe postoffice depai tment at the ity
 f Mexico. If the package, or letter, Is from the United States it is forwa rd- ed to the Cityo of Mexico and from there o the postotfice department at Wash ngton. The rule works great incon- fenience to persons both in Mexico and he United States.-Nogales Herald.

In commenting upon the effects and

In commenting upon the effects and feasibility of the big dam proposed by urveyor Breckenridge, of Maricopa bounty, the Globe Silver Belt has the pllowing to say: "Not only would (uch dam submerge nearly all the Failsble agricultural land in Gila, but
 e lake formed would divide the Tonto )asin country from the southern DOT on of the county almost as completely
 an impossible chssm. The only sacticable route between Globe, the bunty seat, and the northern portion the county is through upper Salt Ever and Tonto valleys. and the dam, if ui.t, would form lake, which Sur eyor Breckenridge, of Phenix, esti- bates would be 26 miles long-16 miles n Salt river and 10 on Tonto creek nd literally would push its arms up very canyon which dehouches on the lalley from the mountains on either ide, which would make the building of
 wagon road around the lake an inn ossibi ity. Neither would ferriAge of ? miles or more be practicable. Another bjection is that it would forever cut lsbe of from railroad connection phcre inexhaustible supplies of timber nd coal are to he had at q distance of DO miles and less.
 For the reasons here stated the dam hing of Salt river at the box canyon bould prove serious detriment, if not
 fatal blow to the existence of Gila, as kt present formed. Fortunately the beverance of the county cannot be ac. bomplished until the government hydro graphic surveys have been completed, which will be at least five years yet"

Verde Salt.

It was a warm afternoon in August. Dr. Sewell, the surgeon at Camp Verde, and my attentive host. kindly lent me his horse and carriage to go some two miles across the foothills to sec the salt beds which looked like snow in the dist ance. was commended to . most ex- celle mt gentleman of color, who having
 long served under the flag had received
 an honorable discharge, and is now | quarrying the salt for sale to the stock
 men of Yavapai and adjoining counties. The Doctors horse was . sufficient in- troduction and . hearty "I'se glad to see you sAh," put me at ease, as pro- ceeded to swap ideas with the man who,
 by hard labor, had become familiar with every characteristic of the place. There's different kinds of salt here sah, I'se sure. This hard stuff Is what

 You are right, Uncle; it is pure rock

 The greater part of your quarry is an

 it thenardits for short, and in honor of French chemist.

 You have described it we'll, uncle. We call it the hydrous sulphste of soda (Yes sah D because it contains water.- more than fifty per cent. of water, Yes sah D and when it is exposed to the air it efiioresces (yes sahD and loses its

what Women Can do.


 An observant exchange says abou, women:
 She can come to conclusion with out the slightest trouble of reasoning on it, and no sane man can do that. Six of them talk at once and get along first rate, and no two men can dc that.
 She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his thumb nail.
 She is cool as a cucumber in half a dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a man will sweat and fume and growl in one loose ehir'.
 She can throw stone with a curve that would be fortune to a base bal player.
 She can say mo" in such a low voice that it means "yes."
 She can sharpen lead pencil if you give her plenty of time and plenty oi pencil.
 She can dance all night in pair ol shoes two sizes too small for her and enjoy every minute of the time.
 She can appreciate 8 kiss from hei husband seventy-tiye years after the marriage ceremony is performed. She can so to church and aftsswasSS tell you what every woman in the con gregatiou had on. and in some rare in stances can give you faint idea oI what the text was.
 She can do more in a minute than q man can in an hour, and do it we'll. She can-but what's the useY A woman can do anything or everything and do it we'll.
