Montgomery Bryant, who was after
 wards a colonel in the regular army; Peters was otherwise known as Peter
 R. Brady, who at the time swsas suttler
 at Fort Mohave, and Johns was pr.
 John J. Milhau, an army surgeon The paper was issued more for past
 time than otherwise, it's ostensible Iobject being to correct the free-love
 tendencies of the Mohave Indians.
 WILL BE OPPOSED.-It is likely
 that the petition praying for the re- mova1 of @ certain portion of the
 block will be presented to the board of
 supervisors today, and if it does it will meet with strong opposition. It
 will be signed by people in Phoenix,
 Mesa and Tempe, but the CMaricOpa &
 Phoenix road officials are taking no
 part in the controversy. Prosper Bor-
 doni is most active in opposition 10
 the petition. The sense of the boa.d
 is probably for the ultimate removal
 of the saloon and several of the
 houses, but there is a question con 1 fronting it. The process of removing
 the reservation is frequently repeated | at expense to the saloon owners, and
 it is thought that some other course,
 such as fencing tn the district, may
 answer the purpose.
 THE MAJORS WIFE-The friends of Major James H. McClintock in Phoenix propose to give him q warm
 reception when he returns to this city. A Flagstaff paper contained a
 notice of the arrival of Major McCIn- tock and wife at that place, and the friends of the major here feel that
 they have been slighted, for nothing
 is known by them of Major McCIn-
 Y,1,o1ria Tho of tbn major is so well known here that it is believed the Flagstaff paper took too much for granted when the name Of Major McClintock and some lady friend who dined with him appeared on the register of the New Bank hotel. At any rate, the major will have to do a great deal of explaining when he rP
 turns, and he may have to buy num- Der of hard drinks and good cigars before the matter is dropped
 ALFALFA SHIPMENTS. = South ern California is again looking to Arizona for barley and hay. The shipments from the south side alone average four carloads a. day and sev- eraI cars go out from Phoenix to points in southern California each day. The price Which is received by the ranch CTS leaves them a good margin of pro- fit, and as the season advances the price of hay will materially increase 1 Arizona will probably always be look i ed to by California 70 supply Q great deal of hay each year. Not only are made from the Salt River l valley, but the Gila valley and other portions of southern Arizona send : hay to the coast every year Thu i raising of alfalfa will continue to in i crease as a profitable product of the ranch, for there are new inning l camps springing up every year in An , zo1a which must be supplied with ! barley and hay. The copper boom has i started up a number of camps lA ] southern Arizona and thelr location { far from a railroad makes freighting ! necessary, hence hay and Tbar.ey must i be supplied from the valleys. The ] D. loduction of alfalfa in the valley this l year will be conshs r:lbly increased ! over last year.
 NEW WATERWORKS.- A. ! F. Banty of Prescott is in the c-ty to- i day. MT. Banty says that Prescott i will soon have waterwOrks and a ! sewerage system, the work upon which was begun some time ago and i IS being rapidly pushed to completion. !! With this additional advantage the i City will be one Of the most i desirable places to live in Arizona. ! the city has begun 10 feel the l effect of this departure and Editor ! Banty says that fifty new residence i houses are being built there, and inn ! provements are noticed on all sides. i Mining in Yavapai county is very i lively just now" ssid Editor Banty. | There are more men there looking , for mines now than was ever known | in the county, and I look to see con- | siderable advancement in that direc i tion this fall Some of the larger | properties which have been bonded | will undoubtedly prove to be excel ] lent mines, and new producers will ap | pear in short time in different DOT tions of the couuty.'' Editor Banty i said that Prescott was visited b. a i hail storm a few days ago which shat tered skyHghts and broke window panes in the city. The rain which visited the valley does not seem to have reached the northern counties. It was general throughout the south srn portion of the territory.
