THE following statement of the financial condition of Apache coun- ty was made to the Board of Su- pervisors, as required by law, by its efficient clerk, Chas. Jarvis, on the third day of January: The indebt- edness of the county, funded and floating, ard the amount of each class, with interest, is as follows, to-wit:

The unusual weather we are hay ing at this time of year is a surprise to everybody. The oldest inhabi. tants of this section fail to remem- Der the time when these mountains were not covered with snow by the first day of January. The first oi the year has come and gone and no snow yet. Instead of the cold windy days and nights, we are having de- lightful weather, similar to the win ters in the Salt River valley. But all this fine weather is a great draw back in this section,- for already water, the very lifesof stoekmen is becoming scarce, and the situation is such that if rain or snow does not soon fall many of our stockmen will be compelled to retire from business.-Williams Newe.

RUssIA's persecution of the Jews grows worse steadily. Moscow papers boast that since the begin ming of 1881 10000 Jews have been converted to the orthodox faith. Six edicts have been issued aiming to disperse the Jewish subjects in Russia, to weaken their position in the trading centers and to crush out their religion.

Pima Warafre.

The memory of the Pima nor his traditions run so far back that a mortal enmity with the Apache did not exist. The first thing that the Pima child is taught is to hate the Apache, the vandal of the Great American Desert, and he seldom forgets his teaching. Though it is not so bad now that the Apaches have surrendered to the United States government, still the hatred exists, and when the opportunity is presented the Pima spits at and heaps all kind of contumely upon the head of the Apache.
 AS is known, the Pimas seldom leave their valleysshomes, and as the Apaches are now on the reservation under the surveillance of troops it is seldom that they meet, though last winter company of the Apache soldiers were brought through-this city under a United States officer. Before they had been here an hour their old enemies, the Pimas and Maricopas, all knew of 1t, and by the middle of the afternoon fully 2,000 were in stown to see them. The Apache sentinel had been taught enough military discipline to know that he must not resent the insults heaped upon him by the Indian onlookers, but it must have been hard trial to his wild nature. Years ago the Apaches and the Pimas often settled their differences by single combat or pitched battles, and there is one Pima now living who killed six Apaches in one day in single combat near where the Sacaton agency is located. The Pima used his iron wood club about two feet in length and the Apaches their spears and warclubs. It is wonderful how skilful these Pimas are in the use of their clubs, fencing with them equal to the exhibition of a French master of the foils.-I Phenix Herald.

The Star says it is more than probable that Gila Bend will be the seat of new county ere the close of the next legislature. It also states that it would be much less expensive to both Maricopa county to have all kinds of legal and off, cial business required to be done in the section of Gila Bend country done at that place, as it would save a vast amount of mileage for off, cers, witnesses and jurors. The di- vision of Pima county will also be up for consideration, and while at it, why not include at least one oth- CT and make clearing up of divi- sion for few years to come. With smaller counties, comes better and cheaper county government, all of which is due the people and highly acceptable to them.

The TOlteCS.

Of the races which inhabited the American continent before the white
 man undertook to civiiize 1t, says the Fl Paso Herald, the Toltecs are worthy of notice for the civilization they brought presumably from Asia or some unknown part of the world It has always been a mystery where they came from, and will possibly always be so, but the fact remains that they have left to thinking peo- pie lasting remembrances of a civili- zation which was unexcelled at the time they arrived on the American continent The pyramids of Egypt. which tourists travel thousands of miles to see, are inferior, if anything, to what can be seen today in Mex leo by those who are ambitious of taking in the sights of the world. The pyramids of the Sun and Moon, which were built by the Toltecs, are to be seen today in Mexico. The formeris colossal in its proportions and equals in architectural skill anything which Egypt can produce, It's length is $40 feet, breadth 609 feet, and it's height in proportion to the rest of it's colossal dimensions. It was built by these people to per petuate their idea of religion. The pyramid of the sun was supposed to represent day, and the pyramid of the moon represented night. The latter was 600 feet long and 510 feet wide. In each of these splendid structures an idol was placed of gigantic proportions, which it was supposed would overlook and pro- tect the people from the influence of the evil spirit, which was sup posed to remain around whenever it was cloudy. The Mexican gov ernment about four years ago sent party to investigate and report on the discoveries which 1t was expect ed would be made in this pyramid. They were thoroughly explored and a report given which corroborated the writing of the ancient histrrian with regard to these pyramids. The expedition which went to Palenque few years ago, sent blythe French government, disclosed the fact that there was nothing which Egypt could produce which Palenque could not discount. The Toltecs certainly gave the world something to think about when they built these stupendous monuments to their everlasting grandeur and civ ilization.

Saturday acutting affray in which one man lost his life and another may die, occurred in the vicinity of Gila Bend. There are some saloons in tents little way out from the town, and these places are resorts of all classes of Mexicans. On the day spoken of one of them got in trouble with a bartender, whose name the Herald failed to get, and as the American turned to go be- hind the bar the Mexican stabbed him in the back with long knife, and as the white man turned to look cut him again in the side of the face and neck. Another white man in the room thre Y Winches- ter down on the Mexican, but the muzzle of the gun was against him, and quickly catching it he threw it up, and placing his knife against the white mans stomach ordered him to turn loose, and of course he turned loose. The Mexican then took the gun and proceeded to clear the premises. Later on the constable summoned a posse of men and ar rested him, though he is still held there awaiting the result of the mans wounds. Either of them is said to be fatal, though the man is not dead yet. The prisoner will be brought up to this city on the morning train and consignett to i jail.-Phenix Herald.

The officials of the Southern Pa- ciic and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroads have consented to transport free, carload of giant cacti from Arizona to the worlds Fair, where they will be placed to offset the collection of tree and oth- CT ferns recently arrived from Aus tralia. The giant specimens from Arizona will not be forwarded until early spring, as they are very sen- sitive and might be frozen in transit. Citizen.

THE Florence Tribune says, from a resident of Florence who was in Phenix last week, 1t is learned that people in Phenix, who profess to know what they are talking about, say the company building the north and south railroad, have no inten- tion of stopping at Phenix, but will push the road to connection with the road running from Benson to Guaymas as rapidly as possible, passing through Florence on the way.

Gigantic Railroad Scheme.

1 Recently The Citizen received {
 very encouraging railroad letter
 that Is, a letter containing gooC
 railroad news for this section ot
 New Mexico-regarding the agita
 ton among certain officials of ex-
 tending the Rio Grande Southern
 railroad to the San Juan gold fields, and also making more extensive in-
 crease in the present number of miles operated by the company.
 The following telegraphic news
 from Denver confirms the report
 contained in our letter:
 The extension of the Rio Grande Southern railroad southward to the gold field, it has been learned to- night, IS only the inception of gigantice enterprise The road is to be built into old Mexico to tap the most fertile portion of the coun- try and Is to leave Phenix, A. T., and run south to Benson, after which it will cross the line and go to Guaymas, a deep-water harbor on the Gulf of California, and an important and stragetic point. The official sargue that by this move they can land the goods shipped from the south seas and Australia in Chicago and distribute them by means of the various railroad sys- tems of the United States from that point, all the way from thirty-six hours to week ahead of any other road if ships touch at Quay mas instead of San Francisco or Seattle. That portion of the country of Mexico is practically without railroad facilities of any kind, and feeders and branches might be constructed at a profit.
 Still another deal is on foot which the officials will not give out at the present time. It is presumed to be the consolidation of some of the Mexican lines with the Rio Grande Southern and a traffic agreement | with the Mexican railroad that will | permit the Southern, by the con- struction of a few interlocking lines to run solid trains from Denver to the City of Mexico. This is the org inal plan of the Denver & Rio Grande, which road built as far as N. M., and then closed | the work of construction. The Den yer < Rio Grande road is presumed | to be behind the present deal, for President Jeffrey said at the West ern Slope congress, which met at Durango a short time ago, that $40,000,000 would be expended in building a gigantic rallway.-Alb.

The bull fight in Juarez Sunday

The bull fight in Juarez Sunday afternoon was decidedly the most exciting of the season. The bulls turned into the ring were large fine fellows, with long keen horns, and three of them proved extremely vi- cious and both quick and active. A "banderillero" tripped and fell Tn front of a fiery bull with an lm- mense breadth of horns and it was owing to the animal having such long horns that his life was saved by his fellow fighters, who quickly gathered around and attracted the bulls attention. The beast made several intellectual lunges at the prostrate man but each time the horns passed on either side.
 Another man daringly laid down at the captains feet as the latter stood banderillos Tn hand awaiting a charge. The charge was made, after which the man arose unscath- ed from his dangerous position. The bull had thrown dirt all over him. The coolness of the captain no doubt saved his life.-El Paso Tribune.

Last week Frank Reno and Frank Campbell discovered the body of T. Serano, Mexican, says the Deming Headlight, in the shaft of the Last Chance mine at Pyramid. Serano had been missing for several weeks, and when last seen was drunk and in company with another Mexican named Alvino Vica. An inquest was held and it was found that Serano had been stabbed three times in the body and had been shot in the head. Vica has been arrested.
