Pointer for Arizona Cattlemen.
Fort Worth Gazette.


 It is evident that steer cattle are getting scarce in Texas ,and it is hard to find them in any large punches. It has been sup posed for some time that south Texas was pretty well supplied with them, but late advices from there are to the effect that they are pretty well cleaned out Jessie Presnell and Dan Lewis were in the city yesterday en route to the territory, and they report there are no steer cattle to amount to anything in that part of the state. The beeves have been moving quite lively recently Presnell having shipped for his company 5000 since the season set in. Other parties have also been moving cat tie quite freely. until between those ship ped to the maturing pastures and those shipped to market the supply has been pretty well exhausted. This is not only the case in South Texas, but there is marked scarcity of steers in all parts of the state, and when the movement of cat tie is over the scarcity will be still more marked. There is nothing alarming in this condition of affairs the contrary 1t Is rather encouraging for those who have cattle that will make beeves next year. It used to be the case that from all quar- ters of the state could be heard reports of the large numbers of steer cattle, and they were to be found on every hill. It was that abundance that caused so many to be rushed to market, having tendency to depress prices. Now just the revease will be the case as to prices when next springs market opens up. Every indica- ton is in favor of better prices and the ao # tlamaO Sap if

Father and Son.

The late Charles c. Waite, at one time proprietor of the old Sherman house, Chicago, and for many years leading hotel keeper of New York city Obeing sole proprietor of the Brevoort house and part proprietor of the Windsor hoteD, at his death left a son, Charles B. Waite, whom he fondly hoped would be his successor in business. The young .man was a failure, however, as a hotel keeper and worse than failure as pol itician. His connection with other poodle aldermen in New York is we'll remembered and two or three years ago he left that city for California, where he has since led desultory existence. Fo1 years the elder Waite employed as chet of the Brevoort house Eugene Mehl, who was very justly regarded as one of the most capable men that ever took charge of a kitchen and to whom MT Waite paid for many years the munif cent salary of $6,000 per annum. Mr. Mehl is now the successful proprietor oi the handsome Hotel Ryan, at St. Paul Minn., and, to his credit be it said, he has given employment to Charles B Waite, who is now performing the dutie: of superintendent at the Hotel Ryan, Hotel Reporter.

The Coffee Tree,
PheniX Herald.

As Lincon Fowler has introduced this tree in our valley, by way of experiment, the following notes thereon clipped from an exchange may not prove untimely:
 The coffee tree Is from six to fourteen feet high and the same tree bears for a number of years. The trunk Is from twelve to eighteen inches in diameter, and when fully grown much resembles our own apple tree of from ten to twelve years standing. Ordinarily the lower branches begin to bend as the tree grows old, the wood being very Timber and pli- able, and soon form themselves into the shape of a gigantic umbrella, many of the branches reaching the ground. The bark Is whitish and rather rough; the leaves much resemble those of a citrOn tree. As it always grows in tropical attitudes it continues green throughout the year, never being entirely bare of leaves. Bios sons and green and ripe fruit may be seen on the coffee tree at any season of the year. When the blossom falls off there remains a small fruit, green at first which becomes red as 1t ripens, not unlike a large cherry, and very good to eat. Un- der the flesh of this berry, instead of a stone. Is found a seed we call coffee, wrap ped in a fine thin skin. The bean is then soft and unpalatable. but becomes harder as 1t ripens, and the dried up tlesh or pulp, which was edible when young and tender. becomes a shell of dark brown color and the berry a waxy, transparent green. Each shell contains one berry. which, when separated, forms two of the coffee grains of commerce.

stone Implements of Arizona

Florence Moral andScientifc Companion.
 On account of their almost indestruct- ible qualities, stone axes and hammers of prehistoric origin are found in the Gila valley in a perfect state oftener than any other kind of entire relics.
 The workmanship on the stone imple- ments is of superior order. The kinds under discussion are composed of green stone, hewed out in symmetrical propor- tions, and are frequently polished like glass It is said that some of the finer specimens required many years to com plete, as the inhabitants had no metal tools to work with. Reckoning their time at the present rate of valuation for labor, these stone implements would be worth over $1000 each It is probable that in some cases the stone was handed down from generation to generation and that the shaping was gradual
 The stone axes and hammers average about five inches in length and about three pounds in weight Smaller and lar ger ones are found occasionally, some of the latter weighing probably as high as twenty pounds. A collector out hunting expressly for them. looking over undoubt- ed prehistoric field, would in this valley succeed in finding but one or two stone tools per week, often imperfect specimens,
 Half way around each ax or hammer made by the prehistoric races of Arizona is a smooth groove on which the peculiar handle was fixed The latter consisted of a long iibrous sapling bent around the groove in the shape of d hairpin. The loose ends were then bound together and in some cases the whole covered with hide except the edge of the stone where used. This made tough, durable handle that would not permit the stone to fly of, and indeed superior (not in looks, but in util- ity) to our modern affair that fits in an eyelet and that has to be wedged every now and then till it weakens and breaks.

The Harqua Hala Decision.
Phenix Gazette,


 Judge Kibbey yesterday rendered the following decision in the Harqua Hala mining case which will be of public inter est:
 "This injunction proceeding was heard upon affidavits and the statements made by the witnesses for the defendant were so opposite in character that 1t would be impossible to arrive at the truth without having the witnesses on the stand and sub jected to an examination and a cross ex- animation. If this was case of ordinary waste, arising ordinarily in actions for real estate, no injunction would be grant ed, for the plaintiffs have made no such case as would entitle them to an injunction in such matters. But the rule in mining cases is different, but 1t is in the power of the one in possession to ruin the mine or deplete it by extracting the best of the ores, therefore I shall not determine the merits of the case; but the defendant is in possession and shall so remain until after the dispute is settled, only he will not be allowed to take away or mine any ores. Plaintiff will be re quired to enter into bond for $5, 900, anC until trial defendant will not mine ol the claim If plaintiff is not ready to try the case when called a different order will be made in the injunction.

Bring out the CuIpFit.

In response to the 'fountail pen charge against E. $. Clark, supervisor of census for Arizona, published in the Globe Silver Belt the Prescott Journal Miner says:
 The Silver Belt is officially informed that Supervisor Clark had nothing what ever to do with ending out any letters in regard to a fou 5ain pen, and if hia name was signed to any such letter it was with out authority from him. That such let ters were sent seems to be fact and they have been source of endless annoyance to thesuperyisor of the census. Mir. Clark did not accept the agency of any fountai T pen manufacturers, consequently never sent any letters trying to sell fountain pens, and as q natural consequence could not have been influenced one way or the other in the appoint ment of enumerator: ] in this manner"

EX-GOVERNOR sAFFORD.
Will Make Tombstone His Future Home
 and Invest His Money Here.
Tombstone Prospector.


 One of the most important bits of infor- nation that has come to the ear of the Prospector for long time and one which will be received by the Tombstone public with rejoicing is the announcement that Ex-Gov. Stafford will shortly move to Tombstone and make his nome in our midst for the balance of his life. He has disposed of his entire interests in Florida and will bring with him cold million of dollars which he will invest in this district in mining developments and in the i'm provement of his city property of which he is a heavy owner This information is gleaned from one of the most prominent of Arizona's citizens and one who is per haps closer to the ex-Governor than any other person among his acquaintances, and may be considered reliable, and did we feel at liberty to name the gentleman from whom we captured this cheering news, il would convince the most skeptical individ ual of its reliability.

Tucson Star.


 Reports reaches the Star that large force of carpenters are now at work on the wood work for the new mill at the Mammoth. The inside of the old mill which contained the first thirty stamps, has been entirely re-modeled and with the new additions made to it, will be the largest and best mill in Southern Ari- zona, containing 50-stamps. The build ing is about 100 feet square. The mill will start up about the first of September. Besides the above, a number of other substantial improvements have been made about the mill which were very necessary. The ore obtained at the Mammoth is free milling gold quartz, and is hauled two miles and half on wagons to the mill, down grade. The outlook for hi property could not be better. At an early date another mill, probably of 100 stamps will be erected in close proximity to the

THE RIDE INTO KENTUCKY.
A Travellers Impressions of the Famous

Travellers Impressions of the Famous
 Blue Grass Regions.
 All the way from Washington till I struck the heart of Kentucky the farmer in me was unhappy; he saw hardly rood of land that he would like to call his own. But that remnant of the wild man of the woods, which most of us still carry, saw much that delighted him, especially down the New river, where the rocks and the waters and the steep forest clad mountains were as wild and as savage as anything he had known in his early Darwinian ages. But when we emerged upon the banks of the Great kanawha the man of the woods lost his interest and the man of the fields saw little that was comforting.
 When we cross the line into Kentucky, l said, we shall see change But no, we did not. The farmer still groaned in spirit; no thrifty farms, no substantial homes, no neat villages, no good roads anywhere, but squalor and sterility on every hand. Nearly all the afternoon we rode through country like the poor CT parts of New England, unredeemed by anything like New England thrift It was a country of coal, very new country, geologically speaking, and the top soil did not seem to have had time to become deepened and enriched by vegetable mold.
 Near sundown, as glanced out of the window, l thought I began to see a change. Presently was very sure did It began to appear in the more grassy character of the woods Then caught sight of peculiarly soft and uniform grassy patches here and there in the open. Then in a few moments more the train had fairly shot us into the edge of the blue grass region, and the farmer in me began to be on the alert. We had passed in a twinkling from portion of the earth's surface which is new, which is of yesterday, to a portion which is of the oldest, from the carboniferous to the lower silurian. Here upon this lower si. lurian the earth that saw and nourished the great monsters and dragons was l growing the delicate blue grass. It had taken all these millions upon millions oi years to prepare the way for this little | plant to grow to perfection.
 I thought had never seen fields and low hills look so soft in the twilight they seemed clad in greenish gray fur As we neared Mount Sterling how fat and smooth the land looked; what long even, gently flowing lines against the fading western sky, broken here ani there by herds of slowly grazing or elst reposing and ruminating cattle! What peace and plenty it suggested From { land raw and crude and bitter like un ripe fruit we had suddenly been trans ported into the midst of one ripe anG mellow with the fullness of time. | was sweet to look upon.

High Water.
Tucson Star.

There were heavy rains at Tubac and vicinity on last Monday, so much so that every arroyo in the neighborhood filled up to it's utmost capacity. The arroyo San Cayetano, tributary of the Santa Cruz, was pnst fording, and it was with considerable difficulty that the Nogales stage coming this way, finally crossed It had to be assisted by some cowboys, who tied their ropes to the end of the tongue ahead of the stage and came ahead and helped to pull out at the deepest and dangerous places All passengers got wet, also everything else in the stage. It was four hours late in reaching Tue son.

Beef Tea.

For my own use prefer for it's flavor and quality beef tea made in the follow ing manner: Take pound of the round of beef or any juicy lean part; cut it in small pieces, and putting it in bowl pour over it one pint of cold water. Let it stand half an hour or more, as conven- tent; then put it in broad basin, and as it begins to heat press the meat with the back of silver or wooden spoon, until all the juice is expressed. If the water cooks away add little from the teakettle, so as to have the same quan- tity when done. Season it with little salt and pepper, if allowable, and heat as needed. prefer this for use without straining.-Cor. Good Housekeeping.

Neither Politician nor Partisan.


 Some of the Arizona papers are accusing the Tucson Star of coaching General Mel son A. Miles for the presidency. Although the Star Is democratic, it could not be en- gagged in better work. General Miles is now the third officer in the army. being outranked only by Generals Sohofeld and Howard, and six years more will bring him to the head of the military forces of the United States "a position he is emi- nently qualified to fi'l. He is in no sense a politician nor partisan, taking only a patriots interest in the civil affairs of his country, but in principle he is a conserv- ative republican. He Is a man, however, of very superior executive ability, of pene- trative wisdom and judgment, from his infancy absolutely stainless in private life and has never made mistake Among those who know him thoroughly it goes without saying that should he ever reach the presidential chair he would give the country vigorous, progressive, stainless and purely American Administration.

He was intoxicated at the time and no blame attaches to the railroad men as they did not see him until he was under the wheels.
