 The Journal Miner of Prescott states that Jeff Shipp, from the Santa Maria distri in Yavapai county, one of the heaviest, stock owners, says that the range industry in that sec tion is doomed and that unless rain comes very soon cattle will die by the hundreds. The Santa Maria river is glistening bed of sand, a remarkable condition for it to be in at this season of the year.

perhaps is particularly strange is that
they are about what everybody expect
ed. That is. young Cornelius is cut Off

younger son Alfred is elevated TO the

generation. Perhaps " is this latter
feature of the arrangement, rather more
than the monetary discrimination that

CHRONIC LOSER OF TICKETS.
Profitable Scheme Worked by an
INDECENT Old Woman on the
Travelling Public.

a respectfully dressed old woman, ap-
parently in deep distress, was noticed
standing at the foot of the steps of an
elevated railroad station the other day
just at the hour when the rush was at
its height. The woman had apparent
ly lost something of value. She
searched her pockets, shook out her
skirts and scanned the ground on every
side. OF course, it was not long before
her distress attracted the notice OF
passersby. II have lost my ticket" she
said, in answer to the query of man
who stopped for moment in his rush
for the train. Il don't know what to
do, for | have not a nickel with me and
l live away uptown"
The man, says the New York Sun,
pulled a string of tickets from his pock-
ct, tore off one, handed it to the woman
and resumed his rush without waiting
for her thanks. But the woman did not
follow. She merely moved across to the
flight of steps on the other side. Here
she resumed her search, with the result
that a nickel was transferred to her
pocket by passing woman. Next she
crossed the avenue and gathered some
more nickels and tickets from the pas
sengers going in the opposite direction,
finally returning to her original stand
where her plight attracted as much
compassion as before. While the oh
server was looking on, the woman made
two rounds of the stairs, each round oc-
cupying about ten minutes. Sometimes
she was able to conduct three or four
successful operations without chang
ing her position. 1t is probable that her
average earnings were at the rate of
two dollars in nickels and negotiable
tickets an hour
