THE CASA aRANDE vALLEY cANAD
That Blk Directory.

[From the Prescott Journal -Minerl
 The editor of the Florence TRIBUNE threatens to publish bilk directory, composed of parties who neglect or refuse to pay their newspaper bills. Should he do so, the public would be astonished at many of the names which will appear in the list. It scents that every community, where a news paper is published, is afflicted with the same class of people-men who stand high in the community, many of them who pay all their bills with religious punctuality, except the newspaper bill. A newspaper that is apparently pros porous is often handicapped by this neglect on the part of many of its patrons to pay their bills promptly. There are often good and sufficient reasons why people may not be able to pay their debts on time. It is not to such cases that reference is made, but of that class of people who habitually neglect it, and who are always behind. The Journal-Miner is afflicted with just such cases. It has enough of what are considered good accounts, and by which is meant accounts against men who are abundantly able to pay, men who are in easy circumstances in life. to more than liquidate every dollar of indebtedness against the paper, and yet it is one continuous struggle to get money to meet the every Saturday night pay roll, and to keep the personal account within the bounds of reason able credit. Some of our friends, by a little effort on their part, might be able to relieve the present financial pressure by contributing even reason able percentage of the amount due this office.

Want to Know.

From the Tombstone Prospectorl
 The Territorial Sanitary Board, through it's secretary, is exacting from the stochmen of the Territory double fee for recording a brand to be used on both horses and cattle. Where a man has separate brand for his horses and horned cattle it is no doubt legal and proper to pay the customary fee for each brand, but where only one brand is used the man having that brand on record should only pay one fee and be allowed to place the brand on any and all live stock of his possession. The claim of the secretary of the board to the contrary is, on it's face, negotiable and illegal, and gives rise to grave sus- picion that something more than strict compliance with the law is the motive for the exaction of double fee.
 Also it is commonly accepted as a rule, by stockmen, which by long usage should be law, that ear marks on branded stock are 8 part of the brand yet the board also require separate fee for ear marks. Verify the ways of the Bull Tick" law are deep, and apparently past finding out.

Parker returned to Prescott the other day, as all the world knows, somewhat earlier than he expected. Sheriff Ruffner hav- ing finished riveting pair of shaellles on his feet in order to lessen the labor of communicating with him in tho flu ture, tapped him playfully on the shoulder and committed agross plagiar- ism on the original remark of Mir.

The Copper Queen mine is known to produce 1000 tons of copper per month. At ten cents per pound this product is worth $200,O00 or equal to total annual product of $2,4OO, ,0OO. Unlike gold and silver, the copper mines of the United states are confined to three well known districts, the Lake Super for district, the Montana mines and the Arizona copper fields. The princi- pal value of the latter as competitors in the copper market lies in the fact that the ores are relatively rich and easily reduced to black copper, being almost exclusively oxidized ores.- [Los Angeles Herald.

In fact, in Q residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that Q registered temperature of no degrees is not as oDpres- siye as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulIs 90 degrees At nearly all times there is a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days.

 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is not here for his health, " it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung who came here years ago, expecting to live but few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than a health resort.
