The art collection shown in the Pan
American Exposition here is remarkably
good one. \ free hand was given to the
Director of Fine Arts Mr.. William y. Coffin,

equal discernmont and discretion The cata-
logue runs to no more than 1861 numbers-eX-
elusive of the small exhibit of Canadian art
and these stand for a body Of work that is in the
best sense representative. To be sure. there are
omissions as was bound to be the case. The
impossibilty of procuring satisfactory speci-
mems in time has caused the earlier men in
American art Gilbert Stuart, Copey and the
ret. to be left out altogether; and here and
there in the purely modern list there are paint

A BIG SNOW STORM.
Eight Feet of Snow Has Fallen in the
 Past Eight Days and is Still Falling.

The storm of the last week has been the heaviest in years. The snow be- gan to fall at IO:45 in the forenoon on Friday, February l, and has continued every day with the exception of Tues day ever since. During that time the records of the local weather bureau show a snowfall of eight feet, or a total precipitation of 7.50 inches of rainfall. It is not meant that there is eight feet of snow on the ground here and hereabouts, as the weather has been mild and the snow is packed, but it is from three to four feet deep all over the Colorado plateau.
 The drouth of the past five years has been broken and there will be water in every spring and water-bOe during this year, and the town supply of water will be unlimited for the greater DOT tion of the year. The indications are that the storm is not over, and the weather bureau predicts snow for to- day and tomorrow. Nobody in this neck of the woods object to the storm continuing during the rest of this month
 The storm of two weeks ago was a good one, being heavy snow and about four inches of water fell during the storm. The weather has been mild during the storm, the lowest tempera- ture being degrees above zero.

THE SHEEP SPEAKERS.
Northern Flocks are Being Fleeced of
 Their Coats.

The Cave Creek shearing camp of James D. Houck is just now one of the busiest localities in Maricopa county.
 A Gazette reporter with nose for news hied himself to that busy scene and reports the results of his observa- tons for the many readers of the Gazette:
 About 100000 head of sheep will have been sheared at the end of the the season, by the force in the employ of Mr. J. D. Houck.
 The following named gentlemen have had or will have their herds sheared at the Cave Creek camp.
 Henry Tuning, William Campbell, James Porter, George Scott, William Amos, Amos X Morrow, J. Woodbridge, James Cart, Henry Conan, Benjamin Schuster, Campbell X Francis, Louis Yeager, John Nobles.
 Besides the above named, four or five other sheepmen will have their sheep sheared at the Houck camp. The sheep will average six and one- half pounds per head.
 Mir. HOuck shears, bales and delivers the wool in Phoenix for 10 cents per sheep. He employs fifty men, which includes gang of professional sheep shearers. When the gang get in full day, they cut out about 5000 head and the wool is baled as fast as the fleeces are taken off the sheep, the bales average about 300 pounds. The shear ing season ends about April l, and during the season 650,OOO pound, of wool will be sheared, baled and de- livered in Phoenix at cost in round numbers of Sl0,OOO, and large per cent of this cash comes to the business people here in Phoenix.
 What is said of HOuck's camp on Cave Creek can be said of the other shearing camps on the Grand Canal.
 The sheepmen. however, are getting a little uneasy over the outcome of the forest reserve agitation, and are think ing seriously of disposing of the fiocks or at any rate of cutting down their number. Messrs. Campbell X Francis have already began this ''cutting down" by selling 5000 ewes and 5000 wethers to the Montrose Sheep Com- pany of Colorado, for which they real. ized $4.O0 per head all around.
 Ed Van Deren is chief of transpor- tatiOn with Tom Houck as assistant. Its now reported that the notorious Pat Grove once followed the sheep shear ing or herding occupation in the nOrth- west territory and that several private and public detective agencies have representatives nosing about sheep camps throughout the country in the hopes of capturing him. The boys say one of these sleuths is now at the HOuck camp.-PhOenix Gazette.

Will Be Consolidated.

A letter was received here Wednes- day from David Babbitt, who is now in Washington with Messrs. Phelan and Clark, that there is no hope of pre- venting the consolidation of the San Francisco Mountains forest reserve, and to use the language of Delegate Wilson, "COconino county is up against the real thing" in this matter. Mr. Babbitt also states that in an interview with Binger Herman, commissioner of the land department, Mir. Herman said that the first order issued after the consolidation would be one order- ing all the horses and cattle off the reserve. A hearing of all parties in teresled was set for Wednesday at 3 o'clock p. m., but no word has been re- ceived here at this time as to the re- suit of the pow pow with the secretary.
 Be sure to consult Dr.. Pratt, the op- tician, if your eyes bother you.
 The Entre Nous club gave dance at the Bank hotel last night Ie will be their last dance until after Lent.
 A. H. Spellmire of Babbitt Brothers office force has been quite i'll during the week but is able to be about today.
 Louis Herman, of Spokane Washing ton, arrived last night and will spend the next two weeks visiting his brother, Julius Herman, of the New York store. Mir. Herman is promi- nent merchant of Spokane and says that section is prospering.
 John Denair, superintendent of the Needles division of the Santa Fe Pa cific, has been given six months va cation on account of i'll health. During his absence P. J. Allen will have charge of that division, and c. R. Perry has been promoted to the posi- tion of master of transportation, made vacant by the promotion of Mir. Allen.
 The division question in Yavapai county has caused something to occur which it seemed for years God AL mighty had decreed never should occur, viz: It has caused the Journal Miner and the Courier to agree on something. It is soothing to the soul to see journalistic Kilkenny cats pur- ring on the same rug and rubbing the butt of their ears affectionately in each others flank after so many years of conflict. Even the county division hath its amenities.-Florence Tribune
