Birds of CochiSe County.

Last Thursday Col. Haff1rd received
 the last consignment of bird skins iron
 the Huachucas, the lot beng accomPa-
 nied by he collector, o. C. Pol,ng, who
 has been m he Huachucas since last Feb
 ruary and has collected over 2,ooo speci-
 mems of birds, and also the eggs O
 nearly every variety, the eggs being more
 valuable than the birds. The most ot
 the specimens will be sent to the Smith
 sonian Institution and the remainder to
 private collections iu the east. MT, Hafords latest addition to hls aiready
 fine collection consists of about a hun
 dred and twenty specimens and com
 prses nearly sixty varieties, some Of them
 being very rare and valuable. IL is quite
 a surprise to learn that over three hun
 dred distinct varieties of birds are found
 in this county and of this number MT.
 Haff0rd new has over two hundred
 F om Mr Polling we learn that there are more varieties of humming birds found in Arizona than iu any other State or Territory in the United States, the most of them being found in the Huachucas
 H. has also discovered that the ring necked dove, commonly called the blue pigeon, carries its eggs in the feathers on its breast until ready to hatch, when they are deposited on a few cross-suCks in tree. This curious habit was here tofore unknown and collectors were al ways unable 10 discover the eggs of this bird, but failed to learn tho cause. An other curious bird is the coppcr.tailed trogan, an extremely shy bird that mi tates the call of a wild turkey so per fectly as to deceive that fowl itself IL is tropical aud few specimens are found in tbis county. In addition to The above we have six varities of quail, four kinds of jays, the yellow hammer, two kinds of orioles, more varieties of hawks than any other place in the United States, about thirty varieties of warblers, ten varieties of woodpeckers, five kinds of whippoor- will, three kinds of wren, the song of which can be heard nearly q mile; fly catchers, the butcher bird, several varie- ties of owls; the long-tailed chat, which Is nocturnal and whistles all night, the notes closely resembling those of hu- man whistler; the plover, king6 ,her, and many other varieties ol brilliant plu- maged songsters. In addition 10 the feathered tribe the Huachuca5 furnish white and black tailed deer, cinnamon and black bear, mountain lions and wild c4t.; also bugs and insects of almost in- finite variety and centipedes, taramulas, scorpions, gila monsters, snakes of many kinds, including the deadly rattier, MT. Hafford having several specimens about seven feet in length, bu.telfys and many other attractive and interesting forms of life, nearly all of which have d place 1T. the ColonePs collection, which has be- come so large that he is fitting up room for this special purpose and will have all his specimens properly mounted and arranged with natural scenery, Ills recent addition was sent east tod iy and when returned Mir Hafford will have a collection second to nope in the Territory and only exceeded by those Tn the. large cities.

The census enumerator looms up like the Eiffel tower with mansard roof and endorsement. Treat him very civilly, for the majesty of his power is sublime. II he wants to know if your mother-in-law's mothers grandson by marriage is the only idiot in the family, better tell him the truth about it. He'll probably put it down that way, anyhow.

Complaints are loud and numerous from residents of Tombstone that they were unable to see copy of the last delinquent tax list. Very few copies came to this city, and when a man comes in now 10 pay his taxes and cannot find the delinquent list he naturally demands one of the Treas urer. Consequently, McAllister has been on q wild rush for copies for some time.

Mining is about the same as for sev- eral weeks past. Considerable work is going on, but no new strikes of inn portance are announced. The music of the stamps sounds very pleasant, and in any other camp would mean a great deal of business encouragement But nothing short of an earthquake can liven the town, and the quake will have to get up and hustle, too.

This Is the season of whirlwinds in Arizona. The reporter noticed one yesterday north of the San Xavier Hotel that surpassed anything of the kind ever seen before. It had radius of about loo feet, and its column ex- tended skywards probably five hun dred feet. It gathered up everything loose about its base into its vortex, and did considerable mischief along it's path-Star.

During the present scarcity of water in the city we'll it would be a good idea to shut the water off every night from say o'clock until or in the morning. This would prevent lots Of people from letting the water run all night, and the tank would be full every morning. Matters would only have to continue this way for few weeks, until the rainy season arrives, and the inconvenience would be very slight.

The opinion of the Attorney Gen eral yesterday, if it be followed by the land department, is the death blow to all development in Arizona It is to the effect that under the Powell law of last Congress all lands in the arid regions are withdrawn from entry. This was never intended by Congress, and the construction given will be a a surprise. It was the intention of its fram CTS, as Powell stated when here last summer. It was q most infamous scheme. It stops all canal building
 It enCs all re entries of lands under proposed canals. It is disaster, un- less Congress at once comes to the rescue. This will be difficult at this late day. MT. PowelPs clause with drawing lands should be repealed at once, and in the meantime Congress can mature some of the many plans before it. It should not let this law stand and stop all activities while Congress is deliherating. Arizona should arouse and bring all influence possible to bear for it's repeal.-Star.

Some More Indian News.

Mir. John Gray, who resides al Grays' ranch in Fucker canyon, near where MT. Hardie was recently killed by Indians, arrived in Tombstone this morning On coming by the Meadow ranch he received warning to look out for Indians, which news had been sent there by Mir. Reynolds, who has charge of Leslie's old ranch. Ever since some of his horses were stolen by Indians, about three weeks ago, Mir Reynolds has been watching his horses very i closely, getting out by daylight in the morning. Thursday morning, while hunting for his animals, he discovered six Apaches in the ac. of rounding them up for him, having them corraled in small gulch. He rode towaLd them and when within about 200 yards of them opened fire with his Winchester, which the Indians re- turned, but ran, although MT. Key holds was alone. The Indians were mounted.
 Still the military insist that there are not any Indians out, and to make sure of it, and to avoid having the fact that they are wrong forced on them, the company that passed through here recently are safely quar- tered Tn the Bisbee ca1on. Our citi- zens feel safe now that they know the troops are camped in safe place about. thirty miles from the usual trail of the Indians, and from where the officers can issue bulletins that there arc no signs of Indians. The EPITAPH would suggest that if Cap tain Kennedy would take his buffalo soldiers over 10 the Swisshelms he might prevent the murder of some useful citizens by these Indians. But this is too much 10 expect. The mil itary authorities have said that there ] are no Indians out, and they arc go- ing to prove it if 1t costs the life of every stockman in this section of Ari- i zona. But the soldiers are safe in | Bisbee, for which let us be thankful. |
