such A grant had ever been made, and the interests of MT. J. H. Slaug- ter, the present owner, in the samo were seriously endangered. As the San Bernariino ranch contains some l7,OO0 or IS 900 acres, and the loss oi such Q valuable estate would mean almost financial ruin 10 the above named gentleman, consequently the services of Senor Borilla were therefore engaged and it is due to his indefa:igable efforts and knowledge that the original documents were finally unearthed and the fact of the ancient transfer fully established With the old starting point and monuments recovered, a fresh survey of the ranch has been made and the case will once.again come up before the courts without much question ss to the result. The San Bernardin' lies almost entirely in the state o Sonora, Mexico, hence the jurisdiction of the Mexican courts in the matter MT. Slaughter is to be congratulate upon the ultimate outcome of th' disputed title and especially for th' fact that Senor Borillas was engaget in his behalf.

 Rare Sight Next Month

On the 10th of August, 1899, q grand display Of celestial fireworks will take place all over the world, and probably the fine climate, dry air and cloudless sky of Arizona will in- sure en unintercepted view which may not be the case in those parts of the world where for more than half the time the sky Is obscured by clouds.
 It is known that there are six meteor rings or streams having orbits or pathways around the sun of elliptic form. Four of these meteor rings do not traverse any portion of the earth's pathway or orbit, but the other two do. First, the August 10 annually, arc a meteor ring or stream having an orbit which is identical m point of time with that of our earth, namely, one year. The eecond, or NDvember, meteors distinguished by the name of the Lsonides, have an elliptic orbi, or pathway around our sun which occupies thirty-thrce and 6 quarter years. Their last appearance was in November, 1866, and they are due again next November. Then our earth will plunge right into au enor- mons stream Of msteors which will fill the atmosphere with flashes Of light. In 1866 over eight thousand were counted at Greenwich observa. tory in two hour.
