ARIZONA comes in for large share of abuse and derision from jocular writers and ioyial jokers who make it the target of their alleged witticisms. Many thief that has been run out of the territory has repaid the charity of the people ill not hanging him by ma ligning them and the place, and when we come across a particularly abusive article or interview consigning our genial territory to a close proximity to the sulphurous regions of orthodox belief, we are constrained to wonder what great crime has compelled the perpetrator to fly from the country his presence outraged.

TIE rains during the past week have been quite general and copious and the ground is well soaked. In ad- dition to the several rains at short in tervals the atmosphere has been warm and moist, which benefits the growing grass and grain. The rains just ended have left the mountain tops covered with deep snow, which will give a good supply of water late in the spring when it will be needed for irrigation purposes. Altogether the season promises to be an unusually fruitfI, one.

NEW MEXICO is moving in the mat

NEW MEXICO is moving in the mat ter of admission as state, but there is a strong aversion among members of Congress to admitting that territory until it outgrows the practice of con ducting its judicial and legislative branches of government in foreign language. As the Spanish speaking people exceed in numbers those speak ing English, there is little chance for change just now in this respect.

News From Florence.

Mir. Wn E. Guild, an old and solid citizen of Florence, came in this morn ing on business and will remain sev- eral days. He brings the most flatter- ing reports from Florence and the country surrounding.
 The people who have taken up land along the Montezuma and Florence canals are going right ahead making improvements. They are sure of an abundance of water and from whom they rec oeive it will not affect them. Many fine farms are being opened up and MT. Guild estimates that not less than 20 desert sections have been fully reclaimed and final proof will be made on them the coming spring.
 Nothing has been done at the Sil- yer King since the late election, though MT. Lyle, the manager of the company, was in Casa Grande yester- day and will go to Florence to-day presumably on business in connection with the King.
 Many new residences and business houses are being erected in Florence and the people are generally in pros porous condition. There has been no spasmodic boom, nor is one expected or desired but there has been steady and substantial growth, which the old timer views with pride and satisfac- tion
 The new newspaper has not made its appearance yet, but it understood that MT. Peck, of Tombstone, the pro prietor of the enterprise will be in Florence this week 10 take charge The plant is now in Florence but it arrived in horrible pied condition which completely paralyzed the man who had been sent to set up the office and he picked up his traps and left.

The road leading north and across Salt river, although most important highway, is at certain stages of water in that river of very little benefit ex- cept as a neighborhood road to those living north of that stream. A boat in the absence of bridge, at the cross ing near RObertson's would prove ol incalculable benefit to the commerce of the road, as well as of vast conve- nience and safety to those who are now obliged to ford or swim the rapid current at the risk of life and proper ty. It is only recently that the Salt River denied the U. s. mail from mak- it's regular trips for a week, and when the carrier did cross it was at the risk of his life, and loss of mail A bridge at that point is what is needed, and until one is built a boat properly secured, should be made tc do duty. A bridge is, doubtless, be- yond the financial ability of Gila county to construct, and, therefore the Territory, during the present session of the legislature, should be asked to provide the necessary means Other counties have been Territorially cherished bridges, roads, asylums and educational institutions have been built for them, while Gila county, al though annually giving, has never asked for, nor received a stiver from tho Territorial fund.-Silver Belt

A Bold Thief.

Thursday morning Engineer Ferguson was
alone on the dredge Ajax, which is being re-
paired at the Portland Company's wharf,
when stranger came on board and asked
permission to look around The engineer
was busy, but he granted the request and the
stranger went alone. Mr.. Ferguson saw him
rnmnlaging the Captains writing desk, and
later saw him rifle his own vest pocket Of
roll of bills containing SO. The tide was low
and it was necessary to go ashore by means
OF a ladder. Just when the man had placed
his hands upon the wharf the engineer
caught him by the heels aud informed him
that he had gone as far as he could, unless
he made restitution of the money he had
stolen. The stranger came back to the deck
again and protested his innocence, declaring
that he had taken no money and to prove it
offered to submit to the most careful search.
This seemed fair and the engineer went care
fully over him, but could find no trace of the
stolen money. Not willing to disbelieve his
own eyesight Mr.. Ferguson said that while
be could not find 1t, he knew the money was
there somewhere and he would trouble the
protesting stranger to accompany him to the
station. This the man was very unwilling
to do and declares that he hated to be mixed
up with the police. II will leave my watch
with you as pledge for my return, and 20
and get as much money as am accused of
stealing" said the man. II guess that's
worth nine dollars, isn't it," at the same
time pulling froEl his pocket valuable gold
watch. Mr.. Ferguson could see no reason
why that suggestion should not meet with
his APPROPRIATION, so leaving the watch the
stranger FASTENED up the ladder and disap-
peard in hurry. He never came back for
| his watch.
When the captain came on board he found
tucked dnder board on the wharf, just
where the thiefs hands could have reached
when he found his heels confined by the en-
glneer's clutch, roll of bills containing so,
undoubtedly the ones taken from Ferguson's
| pocket, as the denominations correspond.

win, and this means an exciting contest.
