They presented in very clever manner that splehdid comedy "Jane," It is full of exasperating and Imaginable con. ditions, Miss Stllman doing her part as "Jane". in most finished and com pIete manner. The conpanyis splen- did one and deserves liberal patronage, and those who failed to see last nights performance missed capital opporlu- nifty to enjoy hearty laugh. Miss Stillman presents tonight "Regal, or her guardsan from India," a first class comedy drama in four acts.--Guthrie (Oklahoma) Paper.

W. A. Harwood came over yesterday from the county seat and will remain for several days.
 Word was received in Bisbee yester. day afternoon from Barrett, to the effect that the Copper King smelter at that place had been blown in and was run. ming under full head with ore sufficient on hand to keep going indefinitely. The mines are said to be improving right along, both in quality and qantity of the ore. This is good news and will make glad the hearts of hundreds of stock holders.
 A good move is being made by the property owners of Main street. They propose to raise money to extend the bulkhead on both sides of the canyon from the present one at the upper end of Main street to the fire company's house. This is much needed work and has been commenced early enough to insure it's completion before the rainy season. MT. Ben Williams has offered to survey the ground and order the material, which insures the cost to be the lowest possible. In the case of the bulkhead above Main street, built in the same way, the cost was con- siderable less than the estimate.
 Lewis Bowdecker, whowent to Bakers. field, Calif., about two weeks ago with q train load of cattle for the Kern, County Cattle company, reports the drouth in California as very serious. Feed for range stock is almost totolly destroyed and the stock actually starving. The wheat crop is total failure and oranges are about the only fruit that will be of any mal ketable value for this year. In sections where usually water for irri- gating purposes is plentiful, this year there is almost an entire absence of water for this purpose and for stock there is none, except where they are m pasture or about the houses. He says the condition of the people throughout the southern portion of the state is pitt able and that of range stock is deplor- able. Mir. Bowdecker thinks .Arizona grazing ranges will probably be sought after this season by California cattle and sheen men on which to place their herds.
