SUMMARY OF WEATHER.

ing the past week in the mountains of COchise, Graham, Apache, Navajo, the eastern parts of Pima and Pinal counties and presumably, also, in Gila county, although reports of correspon- dents in the last named county have not yet reached the central station. Some fences and irrigating ditches were washed out, and considerable hay and grain yet in the fields, in Graham and the south part of Apache county, were damaged. The general benefit however, to growing crops, the ranges and stock interests, greatly exceed the damage.
 l Copious showers fell also in Coco ninO county, assuring good feed on the ranges for some time to come, and lighter, scattering rains in Yavapai county are reported to have freshened vegetation and, temporarily at least, replenished the supply of stock water on the ranges
 No rain, CT not enough to be of bene- 1 fit. fell in Salt River and the lower Gila valleys. but the precipitation in the mountains has slightly increased the flow in Salt river, and the Gila river is now carrying an abundant SUD- ply of water for all purposes.
 CROPS.
 In Apache and Navajo counties the harvesting of hay and grain has been interfered with by rain. Corn and all growing crops are in fine condi- tion.
 In Graham county corn is in all stages. Some farmers are planting and others have corn in the roasting ear; the second crop of potatoes is be- ing planted.
 Fruit and gardens are doing well and the second crop of alfalfa is ready to cut in Yavapai county.
