The stories of fighting between Beers
and English in South Africa have a
strong resemblance to those of indian
fighting in the old days in New Eng
land. Bullets are exchanged between
excellent marksmen concealed behind
stones and bushes. and each bullet has,
under such circumstances, an immense
value.
The Cape Mercury says that Mr..
Sampson, one of the Johannesburg IRE.
formers" is tho hero of famous COM
bat with old Botha, a Boer fighter OF re-
nown. In the Boer war of 1881 Samp-
son and Botha found themselves behind
stones ON IA level plain, shooting at ench
other. Sampson presently made sure
that he had hit Bothn and raised his
head "a little, when u bullet plowed his
neck.
''My man is dead, !" exclaimed Botha,
and exposed himself. At the Same in.

This time I've got himl" shouted
Sampson. and raised himself up, but q
bullet grazed his sido and he dropped.
Botha now had no doubt that he had
ended his antagonist and jumped up on
his feet, only to be again laid low.
Though the mon were now past fight
ing. with two bad wounds apiece. both
recovered, and when Sampson settled
in the Transvaal they became grea,
friends and often chaffed each other
about this encounter.

ST. IoHNs, Arizona, Feb. 3rd, 1897.
To the Editor:
In almost every town of Eastern
Arizona there is a large number OF peo-
pie who are from Utah. Many OF the
settlers have returned to Utah discour.
aged and ready to give Arizona bad
name so that Arizona" is a name which
strikes terror in the breasts Of many
Utonians. Eastern Arizona in connec
lion with all the southwest has suffered
from drought OF late years, and the
colonists have had Il hard time. The
cause OF the encouragement lay, origin
ally, IN the settlers not adapting them
selves to the country. In Arizona the
highest mountains are not very precipi-
tous, SO the snow melts quickly in the
spring, and leaves the streams dry or
nearly so, in June and July. The peo.
pie OF Utah verifying streams, and the
settlers OF Arizona tailed to grasp the
changed conditions there. Crop after
crop was lost and the dull thud OF ex-
perience has driven them to see their
needs. Consequently reservoirs have
been and are being built to hold the big
streams OF spring time and the floods OF
the rainy season for the summer use
When the rains begin early these reser-
voirs will not be needed, but no per-
manent prosperity will come until the
water supply is sure,
NAVAJO SPRINGS.
This is desolate little wayside station
OF the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
noted as being the first seat Of territorial
government in Arizona.

AT SNOWFLAKE.
Snowflake is town OF five hundred
people. 1t will never be much larger
unless other than agricultural interests
make it so. Snowflake looks more like
a Utah town because it has many or
chards, and great number OF brick
residences. II you want TO desolate any
town or city the quickest way is to kill
Its orchards and shade trees, for they
add more to the beauty OF Town than
good houses. At present Snowflake is
the most prosperous town in this part OF
Arizona.
CoNcHo OR ERAsTus.
A town with two names looks like
rather a tendency to overdo the thing.
The Mormon settlers have usually re-
named the towns where the Mexicans
were the original settlers, and where

ward here is named Erastus. The pest

taking the farmers CROPS. All men are

that they must solve.
ST. JOHNS,
This is the county seat of Apache
county and flattering as are the prospects
OF SpIingerville, 81. Johns has an out.
look better Than it mas ever had before.
ST. Johns was originally purchased by
the Mormon settlers rom Mexican hold
ers. But the land purchased has been
growing more mineral and the crops
have become lighter each year Springer
VILE aud a multitude OF farms have APP
propfiated the water OF the little
Colorado and the farmers here have
been left short. But this has done good
1t is lar cheaper to build reservoirs than
to get the water past all the farms and
since the people have found this out
they have gone earnestly 10 work. A
nine hundred foot dam across the little
Colorado banks water over six hundred
acres oil land 10 the Salado valley. But
better site for a reservoir is just be-
low. A dam one hundred and fifty feet
across and iorty.tive ieet high to be built
one hundred and fifty feet thick will
bank the water over seventeen hundred
5cres OF land and irrigate an estimated
area OF fifteen thousand acres, But the
better land of St. Johns is not now
under cultivation. On the beach south
and east oil town lie twenty thousand
acres OF sandy land, while in the lower
valley that is now cultivated the land is
heavy clay. A ditch from the mouth OF
the intended reservoir running with a
moderate tail would cover seventeen
thousand acres. This, with the sheep
and cattle interests that center in ST.
Johns, would make the town capable OF
supporting a population OF five thousand
people. The drawback Of good culinary
water has made St. Johns a poor place
OF residence. There is a spring OF
water four miles from town which the
town bought for 81, goo. that could be
brought TO town al a cost OF s. ooo. not
counting separating pipes. So the future
OF St. ohns never appeared better than
now. The people are ready to build the
new dam and canal and with them an
abundance OF non-mineral water Will be
supplied to the warm sandy land and S..
Johns will quickly double its population.
