ARIZONA AND ARIZONANS.

The raising of early shipping fruits is destined to be one of the most profit able industries of this great interior fruit belt. In this matter southern Arizona will find no competitors in the markets of the east or the west. For our early fruits bonanza prices are re- ceived. In this valley this year the growers sold their early peaches and spricots on the trees for $100 per ton. The time of ripening, of course, varies few days in different seasons. This year was & few days late, and yet april cots were ripe on May 5; peaches, May 10; and grapes on June 15. He who shall make a speciality of raising early shipping fruits extensively cannot fail to reap each year & rich harvest of golden ducats. The price is not in any manner dependent upon or controlled | by the abundance or the failure of the fruit crops either east or west. The bright, warm sunshine and genial skies of southern Arizona is bonanza to her and when our citizens turn to and avail themselves of this important climatic characteristic, the profits from the best orange groves of south Cali fornia will pale in comparison. .-Mesa | Free Press.

 That the immediate future looks bright for Wilia ms is a fact that even the most skeptical will admit. Of course there are few doubting Thomas's m our midst, but scarcely any community is without them and Williams is no ex- ception. Nevertheless rumors are fly ing thick and fast concerning all man ner of improvements and we assert, in the majority of cases. they can be re- lied upon as containins the clements of truth. That we need a depot at this point is fact; that we also need mum Der of residences for the railroad em ployees will be admitted, and that we have here the most practical location for extensive repair shops along the entire line of road, is also well known.-- Williams News.
 While John l.. Sullivan was having his championship honors wrested from his grasp by the plucky California boy, a most wonderful phenomenon was witnessed from KiDeman. About nine o'clock on the evening of the sllustrious battle Tn New Orleans a rainbow of milky whiteness was seen in tho heav- ems extending from north to sonth. Were the heavens rejoicing over the overthrow of the great pugilist? or was ic merely strange coincidence? Who can say ?-Mohave county Miner.
