Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1899-10-18

Mr. Parmley, the mining man, left this morning for California.
 A gentleman who can read the weather signs ID the moon stated to JoURSAL-M MINER reporter ou Tues day that the high wind prevailing at that time would be followed by a heavy rain storm within forty-eight hours, or about the period of the moons change, and that stormy weather would prevail for the next three or four weeks. The basis of bis prsdlction was apparently cor rect, at least so far As the comme nce- ment of the storm was concerned, as 1t was showery weather all day Wednesday and last night, and at times the rain came down m tor rents. It remains to be seen whether the balance of the prediction as to the continuance of the storm comes to pass.
 The ARIZONA MINER of October l2, 1872 (twenty-seven years ago today. contained printed copy of the pat ent for the Prescott town site. The same issue contained an account of the murder of John Koch, who owned a ranch adjoining the town on the east. An account of a dinner party given by MT. and Mrs. Jake Marks to ex-Governor Mccormick and the editor of the MINER is also in the same issue. The same paper contains the following: Morris Goldwater, son of NJ. Goldwater, IS now a partner in the firm of NJ. Goldwater X Co. and may take charge of the business at Phenix. He IS said to be an exceedingly in- telligent young gentleman" An other notice in this issue which will be of interest at this time reads as follows: Extra copies of the AkI- IONA MINER-folded in wrappers, when 60 desired-always at hand at the office. Price 9 cents per copy"
 Here is the way the Denver Stock man sizes up the live stock situa- ton: "The cattle shortage does not show up on the face of the returns. Receipts on seven markets show sn increase of over 100000 for the first nine months of the year. The short age is not in the number of cattle, but the quality of the cattle. There is plenty of the common kinds com ing, but not enough of the choice cattle, and while the average shows gain and the demand has been strong enough to absorb everything there has been a constantly increas- ing scarcity of the choice beef cattle. The same story is also told in the prices paid. for while the good cattle are bringing higher prices than be- fore in years, the common kinds are barely steady at last years figures It is a point that the breeder should consider carefully ' and if he has not already bought his good bulls be should get in line in hurry.
