The local option law has been adop-
ted by the town OF Troy, in Pinal coun-

last legislature it was looked upon as a
joke, a. it was presumed there was not
place within the confines OF Arizona

eral communities claim it Is good

Tho Bank Of Bisbee is evidently
prospcring. It has secured, by com
petitiye aid, the bonds to be issued by
Arizona TO make an exhibition at the
st. Louis fair. That tho youngest
bank in Arizona should have this

a nattcring Indication Of good business

shop in Douglas and proceeded to trans
Ter Il large bank roll from under the

The government Il few weeks ago
sent out IA neat writc-up of II trip of
gcodctic engineers down the Colorado
rivers from Needles to Yuma and the
results OF their explorations. The cx-
plorcrs decided that in many places bc-
low the Mellen bridge electric power
puld be generated by means of the
river current and that in many places
overflow dams could be put in that
would generate thousands OF horse
power. Along tho valleys OF the Col
orado river they found thousands of
acres Of valuable lands that water
could bo readily brought upon and re-
claimed. Tho report is Il valuable one
and gives the reader some idea 6f the
marvellous richness OF tho valleys OF
the Colorado rivcr.-Kingmau Miner.
J. w. Schultz is preparing to install
Il steam pumping plant for irrigation
purposes. He has selected land under
which there Is an ample flow of water
for irrigation purposes at a depth of
10 feet. lie will put in a siX-inch CEN
trifugal pump which will handle 500
inches OF water. There is no question
as to the feasibility OF such Il scheme.
There are three successful plants OF
this character now in operation in the
Salt river valley, each ono OF which is
irriGating from one to two sections Of
land. 1t i probable that others will /
follow Mr.. Schultz's example and tho |
water problem here may eventually DO !
solved by this system. II is worthy of |
study and investigation. II oil should /

When the next term of the district |
courts meets at Tombstone, the crimi- !
nal calendar will contain three MUIR
der cases. 1t Is time for another hang |
ing bee in this county, aud it is TO be |
hoped that the jury will do its duty in
these cases. There seems to be a
growing sentiment in the southwest to !
deal lightly with would-be killers. In |
support OF this we appoint to the ac-
quittal of a cold-bloodcd murderer at !
the last term OF the court in silver |
City, New Mexico, and miscarriage
of Justice in the trial OF one Mcintosh /
which has just ended in Graham
county. The most potent argument to
be us7d with the criminal class is an

known that in Cochise county, crime Is
followed by swift punishment. and we
