 All that was mortal of Mrs. Maria Neahr, widow of David Neahr, was consigned to the silent grave on Wednesday, attended by her affectionate children and family, and large number of old and beloved friends. Her death was not unexpected, and still the blow was a severe one to the many who had become attached to one, who by so many acts of kindness had won the affections of all with whom she became acquainted. Her remains now rest in the Prot estant cemetery. The Protestant Episcopal burial service was read by J. w. Darlington. She left eight sons and two daughters to mourn the loss of an affectionate and loving mother.

Both gentlemen are large capital ists and came to Arizona upon an invitation of Col. Cole Saunders, who had induced them to invest largely in fruit lands and fruit raising, provided that upon ex- animation they found everything as represented and to their liking They inspected the fine gardens of John Gandolfo, Hon. c. H. Brin- ley and others and were so well pleased with what they saw here and in other parts of the territory that they decided to put 500 acres on the Mohawk ranch of Col, Saun. ders into table and raisin grapes To this end they have set aside $5O,000 which will be used only fol this purpose. To say that they were more than pleased with what they have seen in Arizona is only speaking moderately and within bounds. The investment which they will make on the Mohawk ranch, will be the means of theil friends putting out another 50( acres in vines and fruits the com ing season. This together witE Col. Saunders fine start in fruit growing will make his ranch one of the loveliest spots in the ''lanC of sunshine and silver" Messrs Hewitt and Denney left for Lon. don on Thursday. During theil absence the work on their vine yard will be prosecuted under the direction of E. B. Wagy, Supt. O J the Mohawk ranch.
