 The telephone line from Solomonville to Pima has been completed but the operators have been unable to make the proper connections as yet On Monday there was a regular monkey and parrot time over the line. We tried 10 ring central from the Bulletin of- fee and in answer to our ring people were calling hello for a distance Of fifteen miles. During the afternoon we took down the phone again and some old gentleman at Pima was trying to get the use of the line to Solomonville. Some one else had the line at Stafford and when their conversation met just below Thatcher the clash was some thing awful Business men in the val ley put in the best part of Monday an- swerins telephone calls. The difficulty will undoubtedly be done away with in few days. Already the conven- fence of the telephone line has been fully demonstrated and when extended to Clifton and Mcrsnci its usefulness will be beyond Bulletin.
 One of the fruitful causes of stock stealing is the neglect of many ranch CTS to keep their calves branded up The sight Of numerous large unbrand- ed calves on the range is powerful temptation to young cowboys to start a brand and profit by the owners neg lect. If calves are branded up closely through all seasons except the sum mer, when screw worms are trouble some, there will be TO big mavericks inviting the russler to forage on them. W man to brand his neighbcr's calves that range with his cattle, even though the two may not be friendly Even if the neighbor in question does nc. fully re- ciprocats, it is highly important that ycu do not allow unbranded calves and yearlings to run on your range It is the height of folly for a stockman, be- cause of petty disagreement with his neighbor, to refuse to brand that neigh bor's calves. and thereby encourage stock thieves to locate in the neighbor- hood and prey upcn the herds of both. Let stockmen stand together to defend each others property and combine to prevent crooked work of every kind Range News.
 Wedding bells were merrily ringin s yesterday afternoon, the occasion be- ing the uniting Of two young hearts in the nuptial knot. John J. Pearce, the discoverer Of the famous Common wealth mines at Pearce, in this county, took unto himself a wife, one of Cali fcrnia's fairest daughters, bonnie lass of Soncmo county Miss May Gull foyle, to share the joys anG sorrows of life, and brave them together with in separable and indissoluble adhesion. Judge W. F. Bradley oficiated as spon- sor of the law to make one the twain who had pledged their troth in that winsome fiower-bedecked land of Cali fornia. It seemed to be so responsive to Johns nature. ever generous, ever kind, that the greatest event of his life should be consummated where he had passed his youthful days and grown to mans estate. Tombstone held out hot ho I. !, CalifOrnia's fair daughter. When the bands were welded strong and secure, in the judges best style, a tempting and sumptuOus repaSt awaited the we'd ding party in the dining rooms of the San Jose, previously tascily decorated with flowers and festcons. Ample jus tice was done the spread, the tables fairly groaning under the weight of luxurie5 and good things to eat, while amid the the popping of corks and
 flowing of sparkling wines, all joined in the toasts Of hearty felicitations to the happy welded twain Until early morn were the bride and groom show cred with congratulations from friends that gathered and the occasion left ore long to be embeTed.-Tombstone : ProspectCr.
 I quires as follows: Could the species of acc3sia which produces the gum shellac be grafted successfully upon the mesquite? If it can, thSTe could be fortunes in the possession of a mes quite farm provided it was converted lnto an accasia grove and gum produc- ing orchard. This question is asked with a view to information" Brushing : up our pharmaceutical knowledge a little we will proceed to give the editor of the Star the coveted information. Shellac. so called, is not the product Of an accasia tree, but of an insect known as Cocus Lucca, which feeds upon the twigs of trees, chiefly species Of Butea, Ficus and Crotcn. It is not gum al all, but, we believe, resin. The diff culty of grating an insedc to a mes quite bush will at once be apparent to i the editor Of the Star. We do not say this to discourage a seeker after truth for there is still large, very large, field fer the grating business For in- cfanca vOTI r1ic}71 craft silver rpnIlll-
