 Mohsve Miner. The other day We were shown a piece of polished onyx from the Big Bug mines lu Yavapai county, the markings of which formed perfect fish. It looked as though the fish had caught a refec- ton of the sun on its body making it radiently beautiful.

 Tempe News.
 Salt river valley had rIpe apricots in the market on the 9th inst. We chal- lenge the world to beat this record. From now on We will have ripe apricots, figs, grapes, peaches and other fruits, each variety Tn its turn from three to five weeks earlier than California ar ticles, reaping the benefit of the highest market prices. Another prosperous season is In store for our farmers. The crops will be the heaviest ever harvested and the build ing of the north and south railroad and the Tempe and Globe toll road, with the present export trade will make the supply, thus insuring good pisces.
 Graham County Bulletin.
 Graham County was never in a more prosperous condition. The farmers are rejoicing in bountlful crops, the mining districts areimproving with every days work, and the stockmen are getting ready to sell and shlp thousands of cattle.

 There was county-seat meeting at Stafford Tuesday night when the work ot circulating petitions, raising funds, getting consent of board of supervisors, etc, was .placed in the hands of com mittee of three, composed of pr. Groes- beck, R. E. Wilson and Barnabe Palm. The talk about moving the county seat from Solomonvllle reminds us of Aesop's fly riding upon the axle of chariot and exclaiming: See what dust raise."

 Herald.
 Cattlemen may complain but they must admit that most every train brings in cattle buyer. This sort of talk may not meet the approval of the big fellows but the small stockmen know it to be fact.

 The old Fairbank ice works have been moved to Bisbee by Bsn Williams who had a mortgage for S20O0 on the outfit. It is painful to reflect in this that the Herald failed to have the first mortgage.

 MT. Holt, the Montana cattle buyer, of loss of S6,O00 by reason of the publication in the Prospector and Star of an extract from the Trafico, in which 1t was asserted that cattle iu northern Sonora were dying of tEe big head, It was not the publication of the disease but its transmission to the associated press from PheniX that caused the loss If any, to Mir. Holt. A local paper IS supposed to give all the news of local interest, be it good or bad. and there is no harm in doing so. It was the anxiety of some fellow at Phe- nlx to make a few dollars as associated press correspondent that caused the trouble. Had it not been for him the report of diseased cattle would never have been seen be yoLd Arizona. Both the Star and Prospector published contradictory statements regarding the diseased cat tie but the thoughtless agent at Phenix did not consider this of sufficient lmpor- tance to telegraph.
