The busting village of Waukesha
is makinga fight for the State fair to be
located there. The people of Wauke-
sha argue that they can draw crowds
because the location is SO near Mil
waukee, and that citizens of that place
would as soon ride to Waukesha to the
fair as to go seven or eight miles on a
suburban train, if the present Cold
Spring site is abandoned and a new
one secured further out.

the earnest desire of all present.

A Fish storf.

W. Bartholomew came in this after noon from Jo. hoetler's ranch where he spent sunday Among other things he brought back with him was carp which he caught with hook and line in tho pond at the TaIch. There was nothing peculiar about catching a carp as there are plenty of them, but this one is a curiosity. In it's infancy it had been cut in two, that is, the tail and half of the body had evidently been bitten of by some larger fish. This didn't settle the little ones hash, however. He healed up where he was cut off and is now but tSo inches long, whereas it would be six inches long if it were whole, It is the most peculiar thing in the shape of fish ever seen.

New taIIlo Food

A new cattle food has come to light that is a new idea to most people ii not to all. It is the young century plant or MaguSy. On the hills near Tombstone any day may be seen cows with calves by their side with an sp- paren: relish, deyOur the leaves of this plant, sharing with the offspring the most succulent part near the base Oi tine unappetising looking fodder. The method Of getting at it is to take hold of the end of the sharp point on the end and break it off with the teeth and let 1t out Of the mouth onto the ground then taking a firm hold of the leaf, the animal pulls it out from the bulb and masticates it as it would a cOrnstalk, little st time till all dis appears. When the last or butt end is to be lost sight Of by the calf, the lat ter takes it into its mouth and sucks the juicy morsel before the mother swallows it.
 It was rather a surprise to witness this performance last Sunday while taking a stroll, but it was still more surprising to be told by the owner of the animal that nearly all of his COWS did the same thing and that they gave an abundance of sweet rich milk and seemed to prosper better than those which had not yet acquired the mescal habit.

THE southwestern silver convention to meet at Fl Paso on Dec I5 will call out large number of representative mining men from Arizona and New Mexico. The question of free coinage will be discussed The duty on silver lead ores will be an important subject. The alien land Jaw which prohibits foreign corporations from acquiring lands in the territories will be A live topic. And yet above all of these sub iects there is one not vet mentioned which is oi more importance tO both territories than say other. It is the settlement of the Indian question. As long as San Carlos remains populated with a restless band of red men, just 6, long will life and property be in jeopardy Capital will not invest in timber, mineral or agricultural land. where danger exists of having the ac- cumulations of years swept away in a NlUHlt JAY Ht atdhNDBUtut Oi one military post after another, makes the danger more pronounced. General NeCook has advised the abandonment Of San Carlos, and the removal of the Apaches to other fields. Let the south west silver convention follow up his recommendation with demand tha; this incubus be removed before any more military posts are abandoned. Let the consummation of this wish be brought about, and we will not want alien capital to develop the resources of the southwest. Thousands of sturdy pioneers will develop with their capiial-pluck and muscle the hidden treasures of the mountains and valleys where the bleaching bones of the more daring Of our race tell the story of what is in store for capital az long as the Apache problem is un- solved.

The water in Salton Lake has low cred rapidly duriag the past week, says the Yuma Sentinel. There is no longer any water flowing into the basin, and where three weeks ago a large stream was running, there is scarcely a sign of moisture to be seen. Last week Engineers Hangwood and Swaine rode from Flowing Wells to Carlso Creek. in a buggy, and found
 hat there was no water coming desert
 ward from the Colorado river. In fact, where a short time ago respectable river had been running, no trace of water could be seen. It was found also that the sand dunes which had been cut through by the spring floods, were reforming and within a few months the sands of the desert would again build up a barrier against the encroachments of the Cobra 70 river. From these facts 1t can readily be seen that Salton lake will soon be a thing of the past. The evaporation is rap idly diminishing it's volume and i' will require only few weeks more to finish up the wonderful lake which for a short season in the Col orado desert.

There are many points along the way between Tombstone and Huachu- ca where the feed is knee high and very thick and nutritious. Cattle never get to these choice feeding grounds owing to the lack of water. The Huachuca water main runs through the best part of it and it would seem that the expense of water could not be great, and it certainly is wrong to see cattle starving within a few miles of where they might be sayed by hGtle foresight

THE throwing open of the For Cummings military reservation in Grant county, Mexico, will be received by the miners of that county with much enthusiasm. The abandonment of these military posts can mean but one thing and that is the removal or the San Carlos Apaches to other parts of the country.
