X close examination of the assess ment roll of this county reveals some strange facts. It has been conceded that Mexican sheep are not heavy wool producers, three and four pounds to the fleece being regarded as dp to, if not over the average. But, comparing the number of sheep as returned by some of our sheep raisers with the amount of wool sold, their fOcks will shear ten pounds to the head twice each year The valuation ought to be reversed. Instead of improved sheep being s2 and Mexican sheep sl.50 per head, it should be just the opposite [St, Johns Herald

yiviparous Fishes.

Niftpafous Fishes.
 Some weeks ago TIE OASIS copied from the Tucson Citizen an article on the viyiparous fshes in the Santa Cruz River. Last week the Citizen pub lished another article on the same sub ject, of which the following is a repre- duction:

His first impression was that Che fish was new to science, but it appears oth- erwise, as may be seen by the following extract from letter by him under date of June 2. He says:
 ''Thc little yiviparous fishes sent by you are a species of top minnow He terandria Occidentalis. These speci- mems are females: the Iuales are very much smaller and should have the anal fin modified into an organ for the pur- pose of carrying the sperm cells into the body of the female These little fishes were found rr the United States Mexican boundary survey about 1852 in the Santa Cruz River at Tucson, and in the San Bernardino creek, near the Mexican line Since they were first described by Baird and Girard in 1853, on the return of the expedition, no one has seen any of the fishes SO they have almost been forgotten In reference to yiYiparods fishes in my letter the other day this species did not occur to my mind All the spe- cies of Heterandria are yiyiparous. am surprised at the large size of the specimens. The eastern lleterandria, found in the streams of Florida, never reaches the length of an inch and is the smallest known fish, not much larger than the fetus of this western kind
 The Citizen says these fishes attain 9 size of nearly three inches in length and when pregnant are nearly half an inch in depth through the body. The males are much smaller, more pugna- cious and darker in color. These fish are also to be found in the Rillito They hurrow in the sand and mud. From the latter place they apparently disappear with the surface water, but with the coming of the rainy season there appears to be no dlminution in numbers.

BOOSTERS AND FIRECRACKERS.

Growing BOOSTERS and Too Previous Cele-
orators Cause Complaint.
Almost every mail brings complaints about
loud and boisterous boosters in the city, and
many complaints are also received concerning
the small boys who are too previous in their
celebration Of Independence day. The last
chicken complaint was received from clerk
in the departments. who is unable to sleep in
the early hours Of the morning, and he sug-
gests that no roosters be permitted to be kept
in the city.
His complaint will be answered with refer
ence to the police regulations concerning crow
ing roosters cackling hens and barking dogs,
under which it is necessary for the person an
noyed to appear in court and make his own
complaint.
The responsibility cannot be shifted to the
police, for they have no right to sleep on their
beats or to be annoyed. and prosecution of
such a case by them might lead TO q trial board
investigation.
''Firecrackers again" is what the police are
told almost every time roll is called, and they
are getting tired Of being hauled over the Goals
because of the fun the boys are having, and il
is likely that before the "day we celebrate
arrives many of them will be called upon to pay
q fine and receive q scare at the hands Of the
court.
ALTOGETHER TOO PREVIOUS.
Frank Harris. q colored boy who wanted to
be patriotic yesterday, set of several fire.
crackers, but his attempt to display his pa
triotism got him in trouble. Policeman Patrick
O'Brien happened to be in the neighborhood
and he put a temporary stop to Franks pa.
triotism by putting him behind the prison bars
and then Frank was puzzled.
He could not understand why he should be
arrested for celebrating Independence day. al
though he was a little previous in his celebra-
ton.
In Judge Kimball's court this morning the
boy appeared, and the charge against him wa,
throwing missiles. The judge could not hold
the boy on any such charge for what he had
done and dismissed the case. The policeman
threatens to again deprive the boy of his liberty
and have him tried under another ordinance.
Another case of the kind that will probably
reach the court this week will be brought by
Policeman Carson. who said in court this morn
ing that he was going to bring in a sixteen
year-old girl for amusing herself with fire
crackers.
