also a marked difference between this
beast and the crocodile as regards the

Since our last fortnightly report about
the weather there has been a decided i'm
provement. The weather continues very
warm, is is true, but it can no longer be de-
Scribed as rather dry for there are showers
almost daily. The cane fields consequently
have frightened up very much, and the
guinea grass, which was beginning to curl
upunder the influence of the dry heat, is
everywhere growing most vigorously. Even
the EaSt End bush has lost to some extent
its diSheartening aspect and has put on
holiday attire. Tn, amount Of the fall for
the fortnight, as measured in lines IS to the
inch at the three Police Stations is given in
the usual tabular form below. There will
also be found a statement Of the fall of the
half year ending the 30th June. The average
for the 3 stations will be found to be 1O4
lines, which is a little below the average
of The first half Of the year taken over a
long series Of yea S, which may be put down
at about 100 lines. The fan on some of the
northwestern estates during the present
month has been greater than at any one of
the three stations we hear OF $ me having
had from 20 to rs lines in the past few
days.
The Improvement of the weather has, of
course, aroused Il good hope of a handsome
crop in 1892 but it is needless to say that
although the prospects are so far good,
everything depends, so far as the final re-
suits is concerned, on the weather which we
get towards the close of the year, The crop
Just reaped has given miserable results

He showed an official report from the
manager of the mines yesterday which
tells a remarkable story. 1t is dated Feb.

ent Swift says that much uneaslness has
been caused among the miners by "Oid
Mrs. Coo" known in the neighborhood
as the "Pictou Prophecies, foretellIng
an explosion which was to take place in
the Spring Hill mines. In consequence
of the old woman's story and the conse-
quent uneasiness of the miners. a commit
tee of the miners themselves was APP
pointed by the company, and with Mana
ger COwans at their head they began an
examination of the mines Feb. l6. The
west mine was examined and on Saturday
last the north mine was gone through and
a most complete examination made OF all
seams, drifts, stops and headings. Every
thing was found in good shape with abso-
lutely no apparent presence OF danger.
TIT fears of the miners caused by
Mother Coo" were dispelled by the ger.

a very few, who stoutly maintained that
the woman never prophesied wrong. The

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-He fell 10 love
with his model and married her She
claims he was untrue. and tells of other
models who posed TOR him. And now
there is going to be a suit for divorce.
The artist 10 question is VIII ID. Norton,
who has his studio at 24S West Thlrteenth
street. He IS young aud handsome. He
has always been a great admirer of the
nude, and his best work has been 10 that
line. The wife is Mrs. Norton, nee Ray
Knight. who at present resides at No.
l6l West Fifty-iith street, and who keeDs
the wolf away from the door by posing AS
a model. Almost every artist in New
York, Brooklyn aud Philadelphia knows
Raw. but most of them know her as
Msdge Arnot, she having a rather roman
tic history OF her own, which prompted
her to keep her real name to herself.
Their married lite proved fairly happy I'M
til a month ago when they separated.
According TO what the wife told her law

Arlrona,s Irrignted Earns.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The census
bureau hat there are 1857
irrigated farms in Arizona, having a total
area of 65, s2l acres. The average cost OF
the land. including the purchase price,
fencing. blowing and water right is SIG 90
per a ,re. of which $7.05 represents the
cost OF the water right, and the average
valuation placed upon the land by the
owners is $4S .6S per acre. including build
ings- The average annual cost Of the
water Sl.55 per acre. and the average an
nual value of the farm products is $l3. 90
per acre, ranging from SO 20 10 Maricopa
to $3l in Havapai county. The acreage
now under irrigation approaches the max
imum possible with the present water
supply and the methods of utilization,
but the conservation of the food waters
that annually run to waste would largely
increase the area susceptible of successful
cultivation.
