 The prettiest place in Arizona for summer resort is at Crittendea. It is cool there in the summer and there are hundreds Of beautiful noun tain places to visit all around there. A few min utes' drive will take one to streams filled with fish and the country abounds with game. There is "Oid Baldy" near that affords good noun tain climbing and nearly every little canyon in every direction is full of fish and game. Parties spending the
 summer there would net lack for ement.-Nogales Vidette.

 The news which reached Tucson on | Thursday evening Of the death of Mr ". K.

 gratifying reply that NIr. Meade was not only alive but in better health at : last accounts. However, nothing has
