Frank Webber, who owns a ranch at
the head of Sabine, or Fort Lowell,
creek. about 200 feet below the top OF
Mount Lemon, is in town, trying to in
terest business men and others in the
subject of trail from Tucson to the top
of the mountain. says the Tucson Star.
There is no more pleasant summer re-
sort in America than the top and slopes
of Mount Lemon, whose almost mac
feasibility has been its only drawback.
1t can only be reached by the way of
! Oracle and after that long and tire
some climb. Mr.. Webber says that for
from $3.50 to 5000 he can construct trail
so as to bring the top of the mountain
within eight miles of the Fort Lowell
I ...l.A
from Tucson. Members of the univer-
sity faculty have guaranteed him SIS,
so that there is only little more to be
raised in Tucson to procure the building
of the trail. One could then leave Tue
son on. say, Saturday afternoon,
l each the top of the mountain by night
fall, enjoy a day amid the most mag
nificent hunting and fishing grounds in
the territory, and return to Tucson in
time to resume business life on Mon
day morning. This arrangement would
keep many persons at home who go
abroad for change of air. 1t would
also attract many people from abroad.
From all appearances, says the Tomb
stone Prospector, the lower San Pedro
country and along the railroad from
Dragon to Pantamo, and from Fair
bank to Benson. must be literally flood
ed, for heavy clouds have encompassed
this section of country for the past
twenty-four hours and for the greater
portion of that time is has evidently
been raining hard. They have also had
heavy rains to the south of us, and in
the Hauchucas the fall apparently has
been unusually heavy. The rains, how
ever are general and unusually heavy
for the time of year. 1t has been threat
ening rain and raining a greater part
of the day here. At o'clock a very

1t is feared that settlers along the
river and in narrow canyons have suf-
fered from the excessive rainfall.
According to the report Of Governor
Franklin, which document will be issued
shortly, the population of Arizona is
1000. There has not been an exact
census taken since $780, but from the
commissioners of immigration, from the
school population and the voting
strength all indicate that there are over
100000 people living in this territory.
This report ought to greatly increase
Arizona's chances for statehood.
Few southern countries can boast of
having glaciers. yet Benson, just now
enjoys that distinction. Arizona has
always from time immemorial been
called the land of sunshine, but now
must lose all such popularity and an
cient fame and for some time at least
claim kinship to the Alpines. From the
result of the hailstorm at Benson on
Thursday. October 1st, one mile south
OF town is as perfect glazier as ever
slid down any of the famed European
hillsides. In this fiat south of Benson
the mass of hail gathered and was
washed along til1Vt came to the railroad
grade. and having no outlet there 1t

and is all the way from ten feet deep
OF solid hail and ice. The professor Of
the Benson school took his class out
there Saturday to give them an inter-
esting and instructive object lesson on
the philosophy of the glazier.-Obser-.

At Sweetwater, five miles east of Mari
