 Nogales Vidette: H. T. Richards re- turned last night from an extended trip east where he went in the interest of his irrigation scheme at Hermosillo. He has completed all arrangements to dam the Sonora river above Hermosillo and to take out canal that will irri- gate thousands of acres of land that are now lying idle. Engineers will be put ito work at once to make the survey and it is proposed to commence construction work the first of January, 1896. MT. Richards is a pushing business man and will make a success of the enter prise. The Vidette wishes him good luck.
 Nogales Vidette: The bottom has fallen out of the cattle market. Cattle that were $10 a head, United Soates money, in Sonora a month ago are not worth S6 a head.
 Nogales Vidette: People who come to Nogales and expect to find an old fashioned "dobe" town are agreeagly surprised. This place has some as fine buildings as are in any city.
 Tombstone Prospector: County Re- corder Wentworth has received several bottles of fluid for use in the tires of bicycles, calculated to make them punctureless and impervious to tacks, nails or glass. The idea is purely Ari- zonan, having originated in the fertile IL, Ir, To1o h company's line overseer, J. Russel, who is well known in Tombstone, and has headquarters at Tucson. The con coction is manufactured from the com mon cacti and has merit, having been thoroughly tested. The advent of this long felt want will be heralded as a boon to all riders of the silent steed.

Beside furnishing employment to large number of men it is offering cash for all the ore brought in. Its capacity so far has been equal ito the supply and when the supply increases the management stands ready to enlarge the shelter
 Tucson Star: The feast of San Francisco at San Xavier yesterday is said to have been more widely attend ed than any previous one for years. All roads on Monday led to San Xavier and all roads were black with travel. The Papagoes were there in great num- bers and many persons, some out of piety and some out of curiosity, went down from the city on Monday night. Beside the opening religious ceremon- ials there was dance, which was most fervently entered into. Nearly everybody stayed at the mission or in the vicinity. All recommendations were so taxed that Knox Corbett who was there, said he slept or tried to sleep in one room with forty-six other persons.
 Tucson Star: The Tucson baseball club is pulling itself together to settle any question that may have arisen con- corning the championship. There is really no question, but the champion ship is claimed by Phoenix since it's re- cent defeat of Fort Grant, which did not hold it. But the affair may as well be settled since it can be done easily. The boys will therefore reorganize and an entertainment of some sort will be given soon. The proceeds will be de- voted to the purchase of a new uniform so that when the Phoanicians are beaten they will enjoy the consolatory reflection that it was done by we'll dressed gentlemen.
