Mir Calkins was the Republican candidate for joint councilman at the last election and although he did not get in the field till late, he made a creditabie race, car rying his county by a good majority From him the following items can bC obtained:
 There has been plenty of rain recently on the San Pedro. The river was on q boom last week-Over half mile wide and from five to twenty feet deep. The bridge was knocked down and cannot be used at present for crossing, and its repair will entail quite an expense.
 The grass at Tres AlamCs Is looking better now than ever before at this season.of the year. With a little more rain the people will all have plenty of early fat cattle.
 There was large amount of cattle sold the past season. about l2000 head being shipped from Benson.
 The Dunbar Cattle Company, Ever hardy & Elz, and Mir. T. Hughes own adjoining ranges, and their cattle aressall in fine condition, and they have plenty of them.
 The water trouble is not bothering the ranchers now. There is plenty for all and to spare. Mr. Calkins is posi- tive that there is plenty of water in the river at all times to irrigate the land now cultivated if properly utilized
 Mr. Calkins has eighty acres in alfalfa and number of fruit trees, vegetable garden, etc.
 Last, but by no means least is that Mr. Thos. Dunbar is the possessor of a bouncing boy baby ten days old that weighed II pounds when born.

NEW LOCATION.
Col. purr Now Tn His New Quarters
 On Congress Street.

Tucson can truly boast of its many large and commodious houses. 1t re- quires large houses and big stocks of goods to accommodate the immense commercial business that centers at this place from all quarters. People come here from every point, north, south, east and vest, because they know here Is kept the best stocks of goods. The bushes men of this city are liberal and sell their goods at q reasonable profit which accounts for the fact that people come long distances to trade with them. One of the
 SOLID AND TELLrKNOWN houses in Tucson is that of Col. Joseph Durr. He came to this place on the first railroad train that came i'll over the Southern Pacific from Yuma, and commenced bushes in small place on Me5illa street, only having few goods, but his business began to grow from the start, b9cked by energy and constant attt ntion. The room was enlarged, and the goods packed in like sardines in a box. from floor to ceiling. In 1882 his trade had increased to that extent that he had no longer room to carry it on and the building on Meyer street was secured. This was much better, but soon he found himself again cramped for room. His trade had extended to every town and camp in southern Ari- zona, and it became necessary to buy many articles
 BY THE CARLOAD. From time to time wareroOms in the vicinity were secured until he had three. Several weeks ago he began to look out for larger quarters and finally secured the commodious building on the corner of Congress and Meyer street from Mir. Joseph P. Lonergan. This building is one of the largest in the city and well adapted to the grocery business.
 Col. Durr has had force of men at woK arranging this place, putting up and tearing down partitions, painting etc., for two weeks.
 The main store room has been shelved on one side and will be used for the re- tail grocery business. In this room will be kept all manner of fancy family gro | ceries.

Monster Spiders.

Far up in the mountains Of Ceyloa and India there Is a spider that spins web like bright yellowish silk, the cen. iral net of which is five feet in diameter, while the supporting lines, or guys as | they are called, measure sometimes ten or twelve feet long; and riding quickly in the early morning you may dash right into it, the stout threads twining round | your face like a lace veil, while as the | creature who has woven it takes up his position in the middle, he generally though he seldom bites or stings, the contact of his large body and long legs is anything but pleasant. If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he will, and, though not venomous, his jaws are as powerful as Q birds beak, and you are not likely to forget the en- counter.
 The bodies of these spiders are very handsomely decorated, being bright gold pr scarlet underneath, while the upper part is covered with the most delicate slate colored fur. So strong are the webs shat birds the size of larks are frequently ssught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. i writer says that he has often sat and watched the yellow and scarlet monster, measuring, when waiting for his prey with his legs stretched out, fully six inches, striding across the middle of the net, and noted the rapid manner in which he winds his stout threads around the unfortunate captive. He usually throws he coils about the head till the vretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark hooks Of the jungle you come across most perfect skeletons of small birds caught in these terrible snare5, the strong folds of which prevent the delicate bones from falling O heground after the wind and weather nave dispersed the flesh and feathers.- Rare Bits.

From the Border.

A well-known and reliable gentleman, who has been prospecting in the vicinity of Paiarita and beyond in Sonora for the past five months,returned yesterday, and the following information is gleamed from him.
 The whole country has been deluged with rain recently, and a great deal of damage has been done to ranchers along the streams. The Sonora railroad was unable to move trains for several days on account of washouts. The breaks have been temporarily repaired and trains are now running in an irregular way, but to get the road in good cOndi- tion will require weeks.
 The mill at the Plancha, has just been started up and Is running steadily, with satisfactory results.
 The mine just beyond. owned by Geo. Christ, is also being worked by small force. This work is simply being done to hold the property.
 The Promotoria mine is looking well and is being steadily worked by its own- CTS. The ore is good and, regular ship ments are made, from which handsome returns are received.
 The Sombrerito mine is being worked with only small force, but a large amount of money Is being taken out.
 Mir. Clark, four miles west of the Sier- ra Colorado. has a magnificent property and is taking out and shipping ore stead ily. This ore IS very high sgrade, giving returns of from $500 to $500.
 The cattle throughout that entire country are seal fat, and..as but a few have been sold recently, owing to prevailing low prices, the herds are unusually large. One man last week sold 200 head for s6 .apiece in Mexican money.
 On the Altar river there never was such crops of wheat raised as this sea son. The acreage was increased and the yield was at least one-third more than ever before. The wheat like the cattle is worth nothing. Absolutely it cannot be sold at any price.

Items From Mexico.

Under Sheriff Al Bernard returned d yesterday frcm ar 6-day business trip 10 Sonora, visiting Magdalena, Carbo and Hermosillo. He was caught by the big washout on the Sonora road. being de- tained at Carbo three days by it. About twelve miles Of the track was washed away between Imuris and Magdalena.
 The growing crops of corn and to- bacco in the Imuris river valley were ali washed away. Mir. Bernard thinks this IS the finest valley in Sonora and large portion of 1t is in cultivation. X large amount of tobacco is grown here. The high water camo near destroying the graineries of the Terenate mill. This was formerly known as the old Pearson mill, and at one time supplied Pima county with four.
 About ten days ago a Mexican and his horse were ran over by train in Casita canyon and both killed.
 The wheat and barley crops m the valleys crossed by Mr. Bernard were enormous the past season, bat is com paratlvely and practically without val ue. Some New Orleans men bought 40 car loads and have it at Hermosillo,ready to ship as soon as the road is in condi tion. The government pays bounty of one dollar on every ton of wheat shipped out of the country.
 MT. Bernard met several former resi- dents Of Pima county at Hermosillo. Mr. Smith, who once had charge of the ice | works in Tucson Is now manufacturing ice there. Ed Peck, Tom Burke and Dick Martell are there and all interest ed in mining.
 The Camou Brothers, reputed to be the wealthiest men in Sonora. have made arrangements to test the raising of cotton and are clearing a large plan | tation near Hermosillo. A ear load of | seed and also necessary implements have | been received. This a new enterprise in that country, but it is believed will be | a success.
 The mining industry in Sonora is in good shape-better than ever before. | People, as rule, have more confidence in the state government, and many min | ing men are looking in that direction for investments. Several eastern ex- perts were met by Mir. Bernard at differ ent points.
 Mir. Bernard was much pleased with Col. Juan Fenochia, the state military commander, whom he met and who ex tended to him every courtesy. He is { true friend to the Americans who have interests in Sonora, and from him they receive every protection desired. He il very popular with all classes.
 The Under Sheriff stopped at Nogale. and swapped yarns with Col. Chatham and James Speedy one night. He say. Chatham is now practicing econom, and that every old slick quarter or dim, with-a-hole-in-it that falls into his hand is promptly retired as a circulating med ium. Nogales is improving rapidly.

WANTED BUTTER.

Harfiet Becchcr fjtowr'o son, Roy.
Charles Il. Stowe, of Hartford, Conn,

him, says tho Chicago Herald.

tress Of the hotel Woodruff. Visiting
Mrs. Woodruff IL II cutc little ncicc
about five years old. She is n regular
chatlcrbos and makes many bright
remarks during the day. Fearing lest
the child would astoDish tho prcachcr
by some outlandish remark, her aunt
warned her TO keep mum during the
dinncr.
The admonition was listened to
with awe, and at the table tho little
one scarcely dared look vi Mr.. stowe,
not wishing 10 commit a supposed sin.
While the servant WAS absent from
the room tho little girl noticed that
there was no butter on her small pink
dish, She didn't mind holding her
tongue, but to eat bread without but
ter--that woWld never do She took
survey Of the table and, 10 and be-

Never in her brief existence did she
appear 30 pengiye. Then, gathering
all her courage and clearing up her
throat, she said
"Dear pastor, won't you please, for
Christ's sakc, pass the butter2"
Rev. Nr. Stowe never received such
shock. He leaned over in his chair
10 pick up his napkin, which, of
course, had not fallen. Mrs. Board
man must ut that moment arrange
window curtain, and other guests
were suddenly troubled with friendly
cough.
Little Mable, sclf-satisfed that she

one at the table who could positively
