Akers, the Santa Fe mining man, returned Saturday night from an inspection of mining properties of Cave Creek district and Sunday even ing left by train for Wickenburg.

 Jose Balderamo is now a fugitive and is supposed to be on his way to Prescott by horseback. Jose had the experience of engaging in fight at Block fl Saturday evening with a Mex ican named Conception Costello and when the fight was done Conception had a knife slash across the abdomen and nasty gash on the forearm, the latter being an inch in depth and eight inches in length, cutting the muscles. | A very important decision has been reached by the commissioner of the 1 general land office, in which under C.. O. letter of July 8, 1896, it is held that an excess of expenditure in any one year may apply to amy other year. For example, upon making final proof on desert land, if the total expenditure required by law has been made in the third or in any one year, it will be con- sidered as having complied with the law relating to annual expenditure
 This evening at the park theater will be given the last performance of the present company, the re-opening next week to be with an entire new organi- zation. This evening the entertain ment will be of the composite order, participated in by a number of we'll known and talented Phoenician anna teurs, in addition to the full force of the stock company. The proceeds will Ibe for the benefit of the company As the players are popular and the bill is good, packed house is expected.
 Much comment is caused, especially among arriving passengers on the Santa F'e trains by the presence on First avenue near Jefferson, of two wrecks of buildings, that had been flooded by the fire department only in time to leave blackened skeletons and rafters standing most unsightly prospect. The city cannot reach the matter. The charred remnants are eyesores, and yet it is remarkable that of the five senses sight is the least pro- tected by law.
 One of the main items for which cash leaves Phoenix in eastern ex- change is for beer In July this city consumed just fifteen carloads of lager made elsewhere and the July record is supposed to be running along at the same merry rate of carload every other day. Occasionally there is talk of brewery for Phoenix, but the local residents are experts on lager and will have the best or none. It is improb- able that with the Phoenician condi- 1 tlons of water and temperature a real ly fine article of the Teutonic beverage could be produced.
 Sunday evening was marked by a smart dash of rain in Phoenix, rain that made mud in the streets and the volume of which seemed far above the reading, eighteen of an inch, furnished by the weather bureau. The barometer stands at a lower level than for days past and the indications are that wet spell is at last upon the valley. The past seven years have been almost destitute of summer rains and the revival of this former dispen- sahion of nature would be mailed with all pleasure by Arizona agriculturists. July ten years ago was one of the rainiest months of the year.
