There have been costly and unsuccessful experiments tried, but that is the history of every enterprise. and it would seem now that the people of Arizona have had the wit to profit by their early mistakes ard blunders.
 "We can see nothing in the way of the advancement of Arizona as great fruit growing country. Certainly the fruit which has been sent to San Fran cisco from that territory, and early fruit especially, leaves nothing to be de- sired in the way of appearance or quality.

 Mrs. E. E. Ellinwood left for visit with relatives in Ohio Saturday. Mr. Ellinwood accompanied her to Albu- querque. and thence went to Phoenix.
 District Attorney Jones made very creditable record during the term of court just closed. Out of ten criminal cases he secured seven convictions There were two acquitals and one dis agreement.
 Work on the court house is progress sing rapidly, and the structure promises to be handsome one. The walls of the second story are now up, and it is ex- pected that the building will be ready for occupancy during July.
 We learn that Messrs. B. N. Freeman, E. F. Greenlaw and John Donovan are contemplating the organization of an- other lumber company here, and the removal of the Challender saw mills to this point. Surely Flagstaff is coming to the front in great style this spring.

RIDICULE DON'T GO.

The advocates of ''sound money" are expending much time and money in trying to refute the arguments and statements of fact contained in W. H. Harvey's little book called "Coin's Financial School"
 Every man who can bring forward anything in the way of ridicule of the book, and those who believe in it's teachings finds ready market for his wares. These gentlemen would prob. ably make more progress in arresting the "silver craze" if they would show the people how they are to be benefited by continuance of the gold standard. Let them show the people that the gold standard will restore prosperity, start the silent factories, open the closed mines, employ the millions of idle laborers and put food in the mouths of the starving people and no more will be heard of the silver agitation.
 Just now the people are convinced that the restoration of silver will do some of this things. They are sure it cannot make matters any worse. The experience they have had under the gold standard has mt been surb os to inspire confidence in it or to create a desire for it's continuation.
 The hirelings of the gold bugs must give the people something more than ridicule if they would convert them.

ARIZONA'S EARLY FRUIT,

The San Francisco Chronicle says "Last Friday the Arizona Improvement Company laid down in Chicago the first ripe apricots of the season in the United States. They came from the Salt River valley, Arizona. It is estimated that Arizona will send to the east fifty car. loads of apricots within the next few weeks.
 ''For territory which, only 8 short time ago, was known chiefly for it's wealth of cactus plants of all varieties, horned toads. Gila monsters and Apa- che Indians, this is magnificent horti- cultural showing. It demonstrates what scientific irrigation can do, even in country seemingly hopeless. The Salt River valley is by no means the only fruit-growing region of Arizona, but it is more prominent than some other sections. and therefore may be taken as illustrative of the horticultural possibilities of the territory.
 'So far as early fruits are concerned it seems that Arizona will possess an advantage over all the rest of the Paci- fc coast unless it shall be few special ly favored portions of California. Ly-

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS.
There Are "New Women" Even in
Sleepy Old Accomac.

A prominent travelling salesman Of
Baltimore told an American reporter
yesterday, about the existence of two
female mail carriers in Accomac coun.
ty, Va, whom he met last week. He
believes they are the only mail car
riers Of their gender in the country;
at least they are the only ones he has
ever heard of. "I'm in a hurry now"
said he, but I'll jot down a few words
at the store, and send the matter down
to you" Here 1t is:

MAGISTRATES the world and makes a
wonderful stride in the path of pro-

United States female mail carriers,
thus laying in The shade more preten-

deed, it is hardly probable that in m
other portion Of the United States will
you find the mail carried by women.
For several years past Miss Coleburn,
Of Oak Hall, has been carrying the
mails from that village to the railroad
station Of the same name on the New

weather, the young lady, in her dog
care, regularly appears with her mail
pouch, delivering and receiving the

Mrs. NJ. H. Evans, Of Wattsville, in
the same county, whose husband is liv-

that village to Temperanceville,, via
