rhe santa oatal,na sam Mill.
Tucson Star.


 Mr. L. Ezeluels is in the city, from his San Catalina saw mill camp. From him the Star learns that the mill Is running out7 000 feet of clear lumber per day. He employs about dozen men and will in- crease the force; within 60 days Mir. Ezekiels expects to be delivering fine pine lumber in Tucson from his mill This will be good news to our people as cheap lumber will prove of incalcuiable benefit to builders, and more than that 1t is a most important business industry and the hundreds of thousands of dollars which are annually sent to California and other foreign markets for lumber will be retain ed in the territory. No greater fortune has fallen to the lot of Tucson than the op- ening of the Santa Catalina lumber fields for this market. It will prove of more lasting benefit and of more general utility than any other industry which we know of, as 1t will enable many people to build houses and beauGfy them who are now hindered by the necessarily high price oi lumber; and to Mir EzelieIs energy, en- terprise and pluck will be due the grand | results

Arizona Sheep.
Flagstaff Champion.

Daggs Bros, the largest sheep owners in the southwest, have about fifty head of their finest sheep grazing on alfalfa at their ranch near Phenix. They will be kept there until 1893 when the Worlds Fair opens, and six of the best ones will be taken to Chicago for exhibition.

They estimate that the sheep will have a 16-inch fleece by that tine, and that they will carry oil the ribbon on range sheep at least. If they do not carry off the championship of the world.

Since our last issue improvement f any, has been very slow in the case of the Stockman's editor, and at his own request and that of his mother and friends, it was thought best to move him to San Diego, the home of his brother, which was done on Tuesday night. He was made com fortable in the Pullman, and was ac- companied by Mrs. Philbrook, his nurse. Intelligence from Yuma said he arrived there feeling well, and that improvement was already visible. He got through to San Diego safely on Thursday, and his many friends now look for his nasty re- covery. and we expect to see him back to his post ere long, a haieand hearty man.

4 Wise Suggestion
phpniw Gnzettn

Governor Murphy's' recommendation that the Apache Indians be disarmed, is one of the most timely and proper recom- mendations that could possibly have been made; and the mass, and the people of Arizona ought to follow it up, till the good work is accomplished.
 Take the arms away from those mur- derers, and they are practically powerless to do harm; and we need not assert that no citizen of this territory Is more safely. or better protected in his rights than an Indian: there is absolutely no excuse for putting arms in his hands, and assisting

Two boxes of times and lemons were re- ceived here from Arizona, by Dr. South worth. They were raised on lands owned by Dr. J. H. Taggart, of Yuma, in the vicinity of property possessions of a num- Der of Sacramentans, whose lands in Southern Arizona also grow citrus fruits. The gentlemen interested say they have no lands for sale and therefore their ex- hibition of the fruits is simply matter of pride. The exhibits made by the contents of the two boxes of lines and lemops is certainly 2 fine one.

 A strange variety of the Tarantula fam fly was recently captured in the ylcinity of this office and is now prepared and on exhibition. The specimen, instead of be- ing of the regulation black or brown col or, as all Tarantulas have heretofore been supposed to wear. is of distinct yellow hue, just about that of scorpion. The color is not due to its youth, for the great spider is fully grown. Of course no one believes the suggestion advanced that 1t has an attack of iaundice, or perhaps vel low fever It Is nothing more nor less than rare specimen of blonde tarantula-

True, 1t Is q more prolific bearer than some other varieties, but the fact remains that when a grape grower attempts to grow'grapes for raisius he must raise those that will pro- duce the best quality ofraisins; with noth- ing less can he succeed in the keen com petitiono of commerce. and again, it is just as easy to raise the best raisin grape as to raise a second or third quality raisin grape. It is much like raising stock. i splendid Jersey or Hereford or other blooded COW will be as easily raised as a Texas scrub and more cheaply in fact. There Is no grape known to-day that equals the Muscat of Alexandria for raisins. and no raisin from any other variety approaches 1t in value on the counter of the retail dealer; there should. therefore be sO hesi- tatiOn as to what to plant, or mistake made in planting He who plants for raisins for the general market conpetes with the world. and he can afford to have nothing short of as good as the best.
