The Ballot.

The ballot to be used at the ap-
preaching election has undergone a
change from that used two years ago.
Instead of the big blanket-ballot, the
voters will receive their ballots in sets,
composed of separate and distinct
ballot for each ticket in the field. We
give below the section of the election
law pertaining to the ballot and its
preparation by the judges of election
and the elector:
ION any day of election of public officers
in any election each qualified elector shall
be entitled to receive from the judges of
election one ballot of each political party
duty of such judges of election to deliver
such ballots to the elector. Before deliv-
fd any aefon to tine 6s2 the
ballots shall write their names or initials
on the back of the ballots, with ink or in
delible pencil, and no other writing shall
be on the back of the ballot, except the
number of the ballot voted. On receipt of
his ballots the elector shall forthwith and
alone to one of the places, booths or COM
partments provided, to prepare his ballot.
He shall prepare his ballot by selecting
the ballot he desires to vote. He shall
erase or strike out the name of any candi-
date he does not wish to vote for and
write the name of his choice underneath
fold the same SO that the face of the bal
lot shall be concealed and so that the
initials of the judges may be seen. He
shall then hand the ballot he desires to
vote to the judge of erection selected to
take the ballots. who shall number the
ballot and deposit it in the ballot box. The
ballots he rejects shall be counted by the
other receiving judge, who, after satisfy
ing himself that all is given to the voter
have been returned, shall place them in a
separate box to be provided for that pur.

hrtesian Water.

Bishop Lofgreen of st. David. COchise
county, is in Tucson in connection with
the Copper Queen suit. He tells the
Star that there are excellent crops in
the San Pedro valley this season: the
first crop of alfalfa is cut and put up.
Bishop Lofgreen says there are thirty
flowing artesian wells in the San Pedro
settlement: none Of them large, but
sufficient to give an abundance of water
for one and half or two acres. Thus
far the holes sunk are small. but there
is probability of sinking larger wells
and perhaps several and carrying the
water into reservoir sufficiently high
to serve as "A water power as well as for
irrigation. The testing of the flow Of
the wells demonstrates that the water
can be carried forty feet higher than
the surface, as the water will flow over
that height from a pipe. The scheme
proposed is Il practical one. -PrOspector.

Country.

Broncho Bill" and his companion.
Bill Johnson, who held up train on
the Southern Pacific, near Belen. New
Mexico. last week. are now in hiding in
the southern part Of this county. in the
Black river country. Well known par
les have had long interviews with them.
Both men are wounded. "BronchO" is
shot through the left thigh. while
Johnson got it in the neck" How

press conpany's estimate of the loss,
which has been stereOtyped five hun

incident resulted in IA water-haul.
As these outlaws have added murder
to their former crime of train robbery,
by killing Deputies Vigil and Bus'a-
mente. of Valencia county. the express
company will probably be forced to
send Detective Thacker ct ais. after
them. As these officers are not well
acquainted with the country. the firm
of BrOncho q Co. will probably continue
to do business. The ease OF Parker,
the Prescott murderer is exactly SINH

against the express company in the dis
trict court of COcOnino county for the
reward offered for Parker's arrest, and
which was fairly earned.
Should the party now enjoying the
cool breezes and fine scenery of White

express company will refuse to pay any
reward for their apprehension. for the
