THE people Of Pullman are in
deed to be congratulated that Prof
Roberts could be induced to accept
a nomination for councilman. Many
cities have paid Prof. Roberts large
fees to give them expert advice,
such advice as he now proposes to
give Pullman for nothing. In fact,
Pullman has before now paid the
gentleman for his services in report
ing on the water system. Prof
Roberts is a most public spirited
citizen, a large taxpayer and the
fact that he is connected with a
state institution does not in any
sense lessen his loyalty to or inter
est in the welfare of the city. For
the good of the town, Prof. Roberts
should get the unanimous vote OF
our citizens, and a vote of thanks
besides.

ember to January, though subject to sharp frosts in southern Arizona, is not seriously or even uncomfortably cold.
 Owing to this combination of seasons a re- markable variety of crops may be found in the same locality at different times of the year. Strawberries, which flourish in Greenland, may be found on the same land with dates and palms from Sahara. Alfalfa the great forage of the arid West, flourishes alongside with wheat, corn, and sorghum, respectively characteristic of Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas. Oranges, lemons, and olives from California may be found in the same neighoorhood with peanuts and sweet potatoes from Virginia. In brief, many of the leading crops of both temperate and sub- tropical countries, which are not affected by too arid atmosphere or by the frosts of winter, flourish in southern Arizona. In northern Ari- zona where the temperatures more resemble those of northern Illinois, many of the more dis tinctively temperate-region crops flourish, such as potatoes, apples, and various small fruits.
 When, with this diversity of products is coupled a healthful, and for the most of the year agreeable, climate, it will be seen that agricul- tural in Arizona possesses distinct advantages

The Climate Conditions Favorable to a 0rea
 Variety of Marketable Produce.

The following report from the direc- tor of the experint station, is published as giving fair resume of the conclu- sions which have heen reached in re- gard to agriculture in this territory:
 One of the most encouraging signs of the times in connections with Arizona is the growth of her agricultural interests. These interests, by creating settled population and certain sources of wealth, insure the Territory as whole againStthose excessive fluctuations in popula- tion and finance which are so often observed in purely mining communities. Although but a small percentage of the total area of Arizona is under cultivation, yet when the actual amount and productiyeneSS of these lands is considered the place of agriculture among the industries of the Territory is very important Arizona has and always will have land in excess of the water supply available for irrigation, without which agriculture can, excepting in rare instances hardly be considered. Out of about 728OO,OOO acres in the Territory only 5,7OO,0OO acres are privately owned of which about 45OOOO acres are under irrigation ditch. For the total amount of land under ditch there is not sufficient water in all instances to insure crops; but in time there can be little doubt that the storage and development of water will lead to the successful irrigation of much more than the area under ditch.
 The future of agriculture in Arizona is with out question, more than usually good, and for the reason that the conditions of soil irrigation and climate combine to produce an uncommon variety and amount of marketable produce. The soil of Arizona, is usual with the soils of arid regions, are rich in the elements of fertili ty, requiring only the ever-needful water, skill, and industry in their management to secure abundant returns. The fertility of cultivated soils in irrigated regions is further assured by the deposite of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water The problems of fertilization, which become so serious in humid sections, are therefore Of much less importance here and not to be so carefully reckoned with in connection with the future of our agriculture.
 The most marked advantage in connection with agriculture and horticulture, especially in southern Arizona, is the climate. From January to June the temperature resembles that of spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken lucky. From June to September the climate is of Subtropical fervor while from September to November there is second mild season of tenn perate weather. The winter season, from Nov

tinuous body stretching to distance of two or three miles, and showing @ thickness at right angles to the stratiication of no less than 5000 or 5000, or perhaps O,OOO feet, and there is no evidence whatever of plication. The stratif1ca- tion is fiat and as regular as the leaves of a book Usually we detect more or less plication or folding in such section, but there is no evil dence of any folding whatever in this series. There is, however, great difference in the composition of the layers of these rocky ridges, now all turned black upon the surface-a condi- tion of coloring which seems to attend all the rock outcrops along the lower Colorado, and the origin of which, though discussed by Humboldt after noting similar blackening of the rocks along the Orinoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained. This general blsckening of the sur face hides the changes of composition which may be noted by careful and close inspection.
 In some places hornblendic slates are more developed than the mica slate and at others the micaceous schistose characters predominate and are accompanied by layers of Quartzite in- terleaved and three or four feet in thickness sometimes three or four inches and some foliated quartz having little films of mica in it. These quartz beds are members of the series but have been located as lodges and, it is claimed, are gold bearing. The quartz has little or no resemblance to vein quartz, and yet at several points in the outcrop there are stains of green color, apparently from the decomposi- tion of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppings of the Fortuna.
 Several dike-like seams or veins of white al- bite or soda feldSpar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series These feldspa- thic dikes do not appear to have any relation to the ore bearing vein or lode of the Fortuna. These dikes are extremely irregular and appear to have filled cross fractures or breaks of the regular strata.
 Coarse granite was noted at the northern point of the Gila range along the railroad, but no evidences were found of the existence of stratified Paleozoic or secondary rocks. The mica slates series referred to is the Huronian ArchEan.

from Governor Murphy's annual report to the Secretary of the Interior and is an interesting presentation of facts re- garding some of the mineral resources of Yuma county, and a description of two of the richest gold mines; also something of the Castle Dome lead mines:
 KING OF ARIZONA.
 The old-bearing property, known for time as the Gleason. has been transferred to the King Of Arizona Mining and Milling Company, cor poration organized under the laws of the Terri tory of Arizona, with capitalization of 5000 900 shares of par value of S1 each. This company owns four full claims-the Homestake, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope and the Mucho Bueno. This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River and about 40 miles from Mohawk Summit, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is the nearest station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona
 The Homestake location covers the chief workings up to this date There is on this claim strong vein of gold bearing quartz This lode or vein has three well-marked divisions or layers On the hanging wall there is soft layer from to 31s inches wide, which averages about &, 800 per ton in value. Next below this there is middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about S9O to Sl0O per ton in value. The remainder of the ven so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about S24 per ton. Test holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall, and all are in ore. The shaft by which the exposure of the nature of the vein has been made is 200 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance of 40 feet easterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein, having the same characters and values develop ed by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft. At point about 30 feet west of the shaft and on a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been crosscut from wall to wall. showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the croSscut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft. The croppings of the vein may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening, known as "The King of Arizona Shaft" This shaft is about 90 feet deep, and by means of drill holes the vein is shown to be II feet in width and has an aver age value of SI0 per ton. At point 300 feet east of the Homestake shaft tunnel has been made which crosScuts the vein 16O feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein is IS inches wide and has an average value of $50 per ton. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of vein matter running about S3 per ton, thence through feet of ore carrying BPS per ton to the foot wall. The total distance from hanging wall to foot wall along this tunnel is 40 feet A drift has been run along the foot wall to the Home stake shaft at distance of 300 feet, and the average value of the ore exposed is S14 per ton.

Phoenix sleeps out OF doors in the sum

with interior curtains, to keep out the

The bed is cot of canvas or woven

even sheet feels like a feather bed on
a Phoenix summer night. The bed cover

don't wear night shirts.
Phoenix Is proud OF It's climate during
eight months of the year, but IL doesn't

government weather bureau doesn't know
what the sun temperature is and is UNI
able to determine It, and that is how hot
il gets in Phoenix. / called on Observer

what the "ofiicfaP' temperature was in the

the government couldn't afford TO expert

the lights that the belief is forced upon
the beholder that they have some marked
significance in the economy of nature. One
known as Lucernaria emits a pale blush

Getting Back at the Boer Gunner..

Ladysmlth Correspondence of the London
Telegraph.
Occasionally, too, the garrison infiicts
loss on the enemy that cheer our be-
sieged population. For instance, the
other day Capt. Lambton, r. NJ. discover
ed that three or four hundred Beers came
along just after dusk TO guard Putting
Billy ON Bulwan from a night attack.
These men always left In a body in the
gray dawn of the morning, before IL was
sufficiently light to make them out with
distinctness. Capt. Lambton watched the
proceeding very carefully for several
mornings and evenings, until he got ex-
actly a spot over which the mass of men
invariably passed. Then, under the pre-
tense of making bad shooting at Putting
Billy during the day, he got the range OF
this very spot TO yard, and waited his
opportunity.
One evening the naval guns were all
trained with the utmost care on the place
where the Boer guard must cross, and the
next morning. in the dim light, when the
lookout az the telescope reported the ex-
act moment, an avalanche of lead and
iron tore through the crowded mass, car
rying death In the very wind OF Its pass
age. How many Beers were killed and
wounded we are not likely to learn, but
for nearly three hours afterward ambu-
lance WAGONS ana StfelCIeT parties were
busy on the grassy slopes of Bulwan. IL
was a capital lesson for the Beers, and
paid them back for some of the cruelty
treacherous tricks they have played upon
US.
Another little incident that gave great
satisfaction to the battalion occurred near
the First Devon's lines. For three weeks
the gallant lads of this magnificent bat
talon were harrassed by Boer who cams
up before daylight Within easy rifle shot
of the lines on Helpmaaker Post. His
shelter was cunningly contrived, and try
as they would 1t was impossible for the
Devons to locate their foe. An officer and
six or seven men were wounded before tho
Boer riheman's hiding place was discov-
cred One evening he left TO return to
camp just little too early. There was
still light to see him, and q well-aimed
volley brought him to the earth. On going
down to the spot the soldiers found an ola
graybeard Boer lying dead on the ground.
He had a sackful OF cartridge slung over
his shoulder, and he still ciutched his rifle
in his hand. Beside him lay haversaclc
and water bottle which had once belonged
to a British soldier and the first named
contained the remains of the old mans
rations of brown bread and meat.
