Needles, Arizona.

What! Needles, Arizona? Why, man alive, don't you know that the town of Needles is in California, and in San Bernardino, your own county?
 True, neighbor, true. At least that was true last year. But way down in the southwest corner of America what was literally and positively true last year may be literally and absolutely false this year. What was desert last year, absolutely barren and sterile des- ert, by the application of water be- comes the fertile garden, the lus- cious alfalfa patch, the center of early vegetable growing this year.
 So with towns. They spring up and grow up almost like Jonah's gourd, in a night.
 So now, on the east side of the Colorado river, just across in Ari- zona, has sprung up another Needles and a ferry joins them together. This new town of Needles, Arizona, is also railroad terminus, as it is where the new Mohave - not Mojave, that is in California-and Milltown railroad strikes naviga ble water. There are yards and ma chine shops, and the water pump ing apparatus and the houses are going up as fast as men and lum Der can be had. Several businesses have also been started and soon as the mines are reached the new town will have hundreds of inha bitants.
 So don't laugh at Needles, Ari- zona, but rub your eyes and keep up with the procession.-Citrograph.

The board of regents of the Uni versity of Arizona have issued formal announcement of the cleo tion of Dr. Kendrick Charles Bab- cock to the presidency of that in stitution, the election having oc- cured two weeks ago. He will assume the duties of his office the latter part of this month. Until that time the board states that any inquiries regarding the institution should be addressed to the acting president.
 Information was received here last night by telegraph from Los Angeles stating that Superintend- ent I. l.. Hubbard of the Albuquer- que Winslow division of the Santa Fe Pacific had been called to Los Angeles and rendered the superin- tendency of the Southern California division of the Santa Fe. The change is very likely but as yet the information has not been verified and the local officials of the Santa Fe have no knowledge of such change, nor did they know that any such change was contemplated. If the report be true Superintendent Hubbard succeeds w. B. Beamer, who is an old employe of the Santa Fe and has long been superintend- ent of the Southern California di- vision.-Albuquerque Citizen, Aug ust 21.

 "Mr. Stark's duties as press agent have prevented him from appearing in any important roles with the Academy stock company. He is a close student, earnest and ambi- tious and will no doubt make his mark in the profession of acting"
 There is a slight error in the state ment that he was a member of the Arizona legislature. He was com mittee clerk in the Nineteenth for which he drew as big a salary as any of the members and in which he displayed as much ability as the best of them. His organization of a company of trough riders" has been kept secret so far as the ter ritory is concerned until now. It probably would never have been known to a soul if Mir. Stark had not mentioned it himself.
 c. Nick is Detroit boy, of whom several have been here during the past few years. A couple of them who are now in Detroit had the pleasure of meeting him the other day. One of them writing to friend said: I happened to be down on the pike the other night and met your old friend c. Nick Stark, formerly of the wilds of Ari- zona. He seems to be the real fer 'tilizer' Nick is a real live actor and was deeply insulted when Wig gins asked him what medicine show he was with. It appears that when he was in Arizona he was the deadly foe of all hostile Indians and hold up men.

NEW GAME LAW
 GOES IN EFFECT
It Should Be Strictly Enforced for the Preservation of
 Our Big Game.

Some newspaper in the territory has published an incorrect state ment of game laws and all the other papers are copying it. The law passed by the last legislature states that deer may be killed from September 15 to November 1, and not from November 15 to December 15. The fellow who started it pub lished the old game law.
 THE NEWS regrets that the game laws of the territory are not being lived up to by those who take an interest in the sport of deer hunting. In the past the open season here in the mountains came so late that the deer had all drifted to lower country and there was, really, an excuse for the man who hunted be- fore the time allowed by law, as otherwise the game would have de- parted and there would be nothing to hunt. However, at the last ses- sion of the legislature the game law was amended and the beginning of the open season advanced two months, ending two weeks before it commenced last year. Still there are those hereabouts who are not satisfied and for the past few weeks a number of local people have had much venison to eat. There is now no excuse for breaking the law. It is said there is more game in the country this year than for several years past and the game warden should take steps to prevent the killing of game out of season. The man who likes to hunt big game has sporting blood in his veins and if he be a true sport he will give the other fellow, who respects the game law, an equal show. His sporting instincts should also teach him that if others persist in the un- lawful killing of game it will only be a few years till there will be no deer in the country. Then he will be among the crowd that sets up great, big howl. We don't care to make anyone trouble but we would like to see the people who enjoy sport be sports in the fullest sense of the word and not poachers. Six weeks-September 15 to November lis sufficient time in which to hunt deer during any year, so let $ all take care that the law is not broken. Following is a summary of the new game law:
 Deer-Open season September 15 to November 1.
 Antelope-Close to January 1, 1906.
 Elk-Closed.
 Quail-Open season October 15 to March 1.
 Grouse-Open season October 15 to March 1.
 Wild turkey-Open season Sep tember 15 to November 1.
 Dove-No law.
 Pheasant-Open season October 15 to March 1.
 Duck-Open season October 15 to March 1.
 Geese and Swan-Open season October 15 to March 1.
 Rail-Open season October 15 to March l.
 Trout-Open season June 1 to September 1, not less than six inches in length.
 Any person who shall at any time sell, or expose for sale in this territory, any hide, head, horns or meat of any male or female deer, antelope, elk, mountain sheep or mountain goat, or any carcass of any wild turkey, dove, bob white, quail, partridge, pheasant or grouse, or of any wild goose, duck, brant, snipe or rail, or any brook, mount ain or rainbow trout, or any black bass, strawberry bass or crappie, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

TALKING ABOUT SAN DIEGO
Mir. Folsom in the City For few Days
 Visit

At present San Dlego is attracting more than usual attention in Southern California and tributary states. The interest is keen, owing to the fact that Geo. ". Marsten, president of the San Diego and Eastern R. R., is at present in New York City making the final arrangements for beginning active work on this road. Another substan- tial investment recently made in San Diego is the expenditure of more than a million dollars by Spreckles in the Improvement of the ws:er system oi that city.

TERRITORIAL BOARD OF HEALTH

One of the most interesting and mer- itorious bills introduced in the legisla- ture is the one to promote public health and was offered by Mir White sides in the council and Mir. Morrison in the house. The bill provides for a territorial board of health to be com posed of the governor, who shall be president; the attorney general, who shall be vice president. and a superin- tendent, who shall be appointed by the governor.
 The superintendent must be physi- elan and his salary is fixed at $1 ,0O0 per annum, with mileage Semi-an- nual meetings are to be he'd. and the board has power to establish quaran- tine and regulate the proceedings of the county boards of health, which are created by the same act.
 The bill was drawn by a number of lawyers assisted by several physi- clans. and has for an object the pre- vention of the bubonic plague crossing the Mexican border into this territory. The quarantine powers in cases of in- fectious or contagious diseases is al most unlimited and is considered a good thing in case of an epidemic and especially of the plague, which has caused some apprehension in this sec tion.
 The county boards of health are to be composed of the chairman of the board of supervisors, the district attor- ney and the superintendent, and the powers are confined to the districts out side of the various incorporated towns In cities the mayor is to appoint two councilmen, who shall act in conjunc ton with the superintendent, and the term of office shall last two years. The measure requires that all cases of infectious diseases shall be reported to the board by the owners or keep CTS of the houses and hotels, as well as by the attending physicians. It also requires that births and deaths shall be recorded.

IS TOMBSTONE AWAKE?

Does Tombstone propose to sit down quietly and allow the iron horse to come snorting through town without preparing some sort of hearty wei come and celebration that will attract the attention of the outside world?
 We respectfully submit the above question to the editor of the Pros pector.
 The advent of the railroad in Tomb stone marks an epoch in the history of this renowned camp. It marks the dividing line between the old and the new, and as the old Concord coach, the scene of many excit- ing incidents, is rolled under the shed the last vestige of the Tombstone days of 'S3 will have disappeared In it's place a new era has dawned and in s,ead of the dreadful uncertainty that has held Tombstone in its grasp for the past fifteen years, new city is arising made possible by the capital and indomitable courage of the Tomb stone Consolidated Mines company.

THE FL TiSRE

In the mining columns of the Review is appearing a series of articles regard ing the Fl Tigre mine in Sonora These articles are written by a special represent ative of this paper sent to the scene of the new strike with in- structions 10 tell in. simple language just what he saw. The Tigre has sprung into prominence as a result of recent strike of phenomenally rich ore which would mill at least s200. 900 to the ton. AS a result of this. wild stories were sent broadcast, which in great measure have misrepresent- ed the true conditions. While it is true a rich pocket of gold ore was discovered, assaying as above. the ledge matter as a whole is of an en- tirely different varie:y. but still car ries values in gold and silver in such quantities to stamp the Fl Tigre as one of the richest prospects discovered in this section
 During the week just closed. the Fl Tigre has been sampled and exported by mining men sent here from Colo rado and representing Kansas City capitalists. As result of their first report, intending investors from the east are now en route to the property and before the 24th of the present month T4 ic reacopahIa to ;nfor fbo- the Tigre will have passed into the hands of an incorporated company, capable of working it on large scale
 Friday morning a special car, con taining twenty prominent people who contemplate investing in the mine, left Kansas City and will arrive in Bisbee today. If the sam p,es taken turn out favorably, com pany will be imm mediately organized under the laws of the territory of Ari- zona, with three directors living in Kansas City and four living in Bisbee. In the event of a successful culmina- tion of the deal on the Lucky Tigre it will stand forth in the history of min | ing in the southwest as bordering on the phenomenal Five prospectors will find themselves wealthy within a few weeks after discovery, and with
 he disappearance of snow in the mountains, Northern Sonora may pre- pare for rush of prospectors, unex. ampled in the southwest.
