The news comes from Deming that General McCook, of the De- partment of Arizona and New Mex ico, will shortly make an organized effort to capture the renegade Kid and his followers. A pack train, which is now enroute from Montana will be used to carry the necessary provisions, ammunition, etc. and sev- eral hundred soldiers will be placed in the field. Particular care will be taken to guard the water holes on either side of the line, and If the Indians are once sighted they will be chased to their rendezvous in old Mexico, permission having been granted to U. s. troops to cross the border in pursuit. This military movement is scheduled for early spring, At present there are no troops in the field. the bunch of 60 men from Fort Bayard having been ordered back some days since.- Prospector.

The storm which commenced yes- terday had continued up to the hour of going to press to-day. The rain fall was rather light up to noon to- day, the storm consisting chiefly of wind. But at noon a steady down pour commenced and continued during the remainder of the day and the prospects now look favor able for a permanent break in the
 drouth which has continued for nearly two years.-Journal-M Miner.

On Thursday morning, the 18th, Miss Laura Russell, of Stafford, was twice stabbed with a pocket knife by her thirteen-year-old brother, Walter. She was sweeping the floor and gave the boy slight push with the broom which so enraged him that he stabbed her with the knife with which he was whittling, once in the chest and once in the right forearm. Dr. Cassels was imme- diately called in and in short time staunched the flow of blood which ran very freely for awhile. The wounds are not serious.--Graham County Bulletin.

Another Railroad for Arizona.

A recent dispatch from San Diego
 says: The railroad extension com
 mittee decided today to incorporate a company for the building of the line eastward. The plan as formu- lated is to organize under the laws of Arizona for the construction of the entire line from San Diego via Yuma to Phenix. The directory is to be made up of San Diego and Phenix men with a working major ity of the board in San Diego, as the supplies would be more easily obtained here and construction would naturally begin at this place, though it might later be prosecuted from both ends. O. J. Slough, 8 local capitalist, who has shown ac- tive interest in this matter ever since it was presented in what appeared to be practical form, has offered to go to Arizona at his own expense and push business. Much interest is awakened here and in Phenix and the prospect is more favorable for the building of the line as proposed than at any previous time.
 Indiana and New York capital has been interested, and while this is an independent enterprise thus far, it is believed that the Rock Is- land company will eventually aid in the construction of the road and make San Diego it's Pacific coast terminal. That company's line, which now ends at Liberty, Kas., it is understood will be extended to Albuquerque, where it will meet the road from San Diego.

CAPTAIN DICK, who organized a party of mountaineers to pursue and capture the Kid, writes from Mammoth to the Tucson Star in the following sensational strain: "The Apaches more than four hundred will be on the warpath before June. That means death to all ranchers, farmers and cattlemen in the ranges hereabouts and nobody is to blame but the government. The Apaches are buying up all the available car tridges and ammunition of all de- scriptions."

The Chino Champion speaking of the results of beet pulp as feed for beef cattle says: Yesterday there was brought into the Chlno Market a halt of the finest and fattest beef we have seen for a long time. It was literally enveloped in a mass of fat, and the meat was bright, juicy and tender. The animal was one of the pulp,fed steers fattened in the yards south of town, and shows the result of beet pulp as a fatten- Ing feed. The steer weighed 1875 alive, and dressed HOO pounds.

Something like 100 fourth-class post offices were raised at the begin ming of the new year to the dignity of presidential offices, and President Harrison has been sending in to the Senate the names of appointees to fill for the next four years the va cancies thus created. The Demo cratic Senators, however, are of the opinion that this matter should be leftto the incoming administration, and it is probable they will inter pose objections to the confirmation of these nominees, so that Demo. cratic postmasters may be appoint in these cases.-Silver Belt.

Il appears that out in his neighbor' hood they had decided to organize choir. Last night they met and had a disagreement over who should sing bass, which finally wound up in a free fight.

This gentleman has talked with many people about the cures they perform and there Is no doubt but what il is a fact. The one at Hermosillo had many offers for the remedy, but neither money nor promises has ever been able to draw the secret from him.

It is calculated that the reservoir now contains enough water to supply water for one year, and the canal is running bank full, pouring an inn mense quantity of water into it. be- sides supplying all the water want ed by those who are cultivating land between Florence and the reservoir. This reservoir is an illustration of what could be done by dam at the Buttes.

A new industry is likely to be created in the Southwest through the discovery of Q San Antonio, Texas. man who has been experi- men,ing with the mesquite bean and has discovered thatit is most valuable substitute for coffee; in fact equal to the best java as bev- craze. A chemical analysis of the beam revealed that it's constituents are much the same as coffee. The discoverer also invented and had patented a method for removing the fibrous substance surrounding the bean. AS a beverage it is said to possess a delicious aroma, and while it acts as stimulant in much the same way as coffee, there are no un- pleasant effects following it's use. A company with ample capital has been formed to convert the mesquite bean into a marketable product as substitute for coffee. It is believed the industry is destined to become of considerable importance. The prairies of that part of Texas south and west of the Colorado River are covered with the mesquite tree, growing in it's wild state. The tree is also indigenous to New Mexico, Arizona and the greater portion of Mexico. It thrives in dry climate, and gives it's greatest yield of beans during seasons of severe drouth. It is estimated that the average yield of each tree in Southwest Texas is 30 pounds of beans.-Silver Belt.

Alfalfa IS a curious grass, but a
 paying one, says an exchange. It's better than a bank account, for it never fails. It's weatherproof, for
 the cold don't injure and the heat makes it grow all the better. A win ter flood won't drown it, and a fire won't kill it. It loves water and bores to reach iC. As a borer it is equal to an artesian we'll. When growing there is no stopping it.
