We hear that New Mexico sheep men, who do not own a foot of land in Ari- zona, completely surrounded ranch of one of our local wool growers, to which he had acquired a legal title by strict conformity to law and kept for lambing ground. and forced him to hunt another range, thereby causing heavy loss in lambs and ewes. Patience and forbear- ance are excellent qualities, but we be- lieve there is point at which the line should be drawn, and that these tran sient sheep men got little beyond that line in this instance, and that our resi- dent wool grower would have been per fectly justifable in enforcing his rights, even though harsh measures had been necessary in doing so.

The people of Winslow have re-adver- tised for another election, to vote on the proposition of issuing bonds to build and equip a school house, suitable to the re- quirements of their rapidly growing city. The election called some time back mls- carried through the negligence of one of the Trustees. There was similar cleo ton in Nogales a short time since, at which there were only 17 votes against issuing bonds. We believe the residents of Winslow are as liberal and public spirited as the people of Nogales, or for that matter any other town or city in the Territory, and have no doubt but the issuance of bonds will carry with scarce ly dissenting voice.

Last Thursday, Thursday night and Friday, one of the heaviest rains fell which has visited this section for four years. During that time, according to the gauge kept by Walter G. Scott, two and three-quarter inches of water fell in St. Johns. All indications were that there was much heavier fall southeast and east, than in the town. Every one, cattle men, sheep men, farmers, mer- chants and professional men had broad smile on their countenances and were shaking hands with every one they met. As a matter of fact, it was God send to the county, and will save thousands of head of cattle and sheep, which would certainly have died, had the rains held off few weeks longer.

Owners of mines throughout this Territory are very slow in patenting their properties The fear of ex- cessive taxation is probably the req son. The taxation of mines should be so regulated that their owners would find it more profitable to pat ent.. their claims than pay the an- nual cost of assessment work which generally results in nothing. It is difficult to sell mining claims with out patent theron. A good title is the first consideration of inves- tors.-Florence Tribune.

One way to give your city black eye is to have no good word to say of your good citizens to those seeking invest ments. As rule visitors place some value on reputation.-Tucson Star.
 There are few in our town which the above paragraph hits right on top of the head. It is rare thing, indeed, that they have a good word to say of any of their fellow-townsmen. A stranger, to hear them talk, would come to the con- clusion at once, that the residents of our town were worthless, interruptions vag- abonds, unfit to associate with and un- worthy of consideration. Such charac- ters are curse to any community. Of course, their underhanded filings and dirty insinuations, carry no weight with those who know them; but they make it a point to get acquainted with every stranger who visits us, no matter what his purpose in coming, and at once pro- ceed to poison his mind against the en- tire community. According to their tale they are the only reputable citizens of the town.

The recent rains will make grass all over the country. In a few days the travelling floeks of sheep now in this county from New Mexico, will be mak- ing their way back, and escape the As sessor of this county. By the time they reach their shearing ground, assessment work in that territory will have been completed. In this way large amount of taxable property escapes paying it's just proportion of the expenses of the government which protects them and their property, with the same fairness and impai tiality, that it does those who have to bear all the burden. There is no justice in this. Such characters are a cancer on the body polltic. Claim and enjoy the protection of our laws, yet re- fuse to pay their proportion of the ex- pense necessarily incurred in enforcing them. The authorities of both territo- ries should make it point to see that they are assessed and that they pay their taxes.

Jerry Barton showed Courier man yesterday piece of quartz glittering with free gold just from the rich strike on the Agua Fria. Unlike the first specimen sent out from this strike, this rock is not so much decomposed and the gold is firmly fixed in the quartz. Tie sur face rock was so much dec omposed in the rich spots that, when broken, the gold mostly all dropped out Prescott Courier.

The Albuquerque Citizen is informed that buyers are offering only F cents as the highest price for the best wool. They state that at these figures their houses are liable to losses owing to the unsettled condition of the markets in the east. With these unexpected adverses to one of the greatest industries of the south west, added to the drouth that has ab- solutely ruined the cattle resources, the southwest is indeed reapiEg her share of set backs.

It is doubtful if southern Arizona ever experienced such cool weather as has been the rule for the past month. The nights at Yuma are still cold, the thermometer register ing around the 50notch. The warm est nightexperienced in Tombstone was last Wednesday night when the mercury in the thermometer went to 54 degrees. The hottest night recorded in this vicinity last year, which was a hot one, was in June, when the thermometer registere d 76. This was just before the first rains, an atmospheric condition that always precedes the beginning of the wet season.-Prospector.

Hon. A. F. Banta and the writer had occasion to go to Jaralosa last Thursday. On the way out, it was raining on both sides, in front and behind us We for tunately made Sol Barth's residence, however, without getting wet. But on our return trip we met the rain about three miles west of the Carrizo. It was not Scotch mist, either, but rain in every sense of the word. In less than thirty minutes, the road, which was down grade from where the rain struck us to the Carrizo, was good sized stream of water. We met one more heavy shower after we crossed the Car rizo, and by the time we reached the Plaza Nueva, the entire valley was all most covered with water.

The rains last week came in good time for our cattle growers who have sold and are to deliver steers. They can now pick their route to drive over; whereas, had it not have rained, they would have had to take trails on which they could find water. And, again, the rain appears to have been general throughout the coun- ty. and will certainly make some feed in the warm, sandy soil surrounding Hol- brook, on which to hold the steers for few days, in case the railroad company is not on time with cars for shipping.
