The country may be said to possess two climatic zones. North of the 34th parallel, there is an elevation of from 4,O0O to 1000 feet above sealevel. In this region the average temperature during the summer is about 70 degrees. The nights are deliciously cool and pleasant, insuring perfect rest. Throughout the west are found no more delightful summer resorts than the valleys and glens amid the pineclad hills of northern Ari- zona In the winter season, snow sometimes falls on the elevated ranges to depth of four and five feet, and remains on some of the lofty peaks until the beginning of June. These winter snows feed the rivers and water courses, which bring verdure and fertility to the lower valleys, and upon which the farmer and fruit grower depend for the raising of crop. The winters in northern Arizona have that keen, bracing quality peculiar to the eastern states. As the air sweeps down the mountains, laden with the grateful odor of the pines, it is positive luxury to inhale it. The climate of this part of the terri tory possesses that climatic golden too hot nor too cold-which few countries are blessed with.-Cattlemen.

1t Is Dangerous to Borrow.

Here is good one going the rounds: A man who was too economical to sub scribe for paper sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a S4 stand of bees and in ten minutes looked like warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance. and failing to notice barbed wire fence, ran into that, break ing it down. cutting handful of flesh from his anatomy and running S4 pair of pants. The old COW took advant- age of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfeld and killed herself eating green corn.
 Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upset four gallon churn full of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drown Ing the flock. In the hurry she drop ped S2j set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the pcrlor. running brand-new 500 carpet.
 During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man. the dog broke up eleven setting hens and the calves got out and chewed the tails oil four fine shirts.

SAM MORSS DEAD.
The Editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel.
 Fell From an Office Window.

An Associated Press dispatch of October 2lst says: Samuel E. Morss, editor and proprietor of the Indiana polls Sentinel, fell from the third story window in the Sentinel building to- day, and lived but fifteen minutes
 The window from which he fell was Tn his private office. It is believed he opened the window for air and was overcome with heart failure while leaning out. He had heen in bad health for some time.
 MT. Morss was one of the ablest journalists in the United States. He served his apprenticeship under Will bur F. Storey on the old Chicago Times, when that famous no ewspaper was in the van of journalism in che United States.
 Mir. Morss moved to Indianapolis about eighteen or twenty years ago and obtained control of the Sentinel, then a decaying newspaper. He built it up to be a very valuable property and by long odds the most influential newspaper in Indiana and perhaps the strongest Democratic paper in the Ohio valley.
 During the last Cleveland admins tration Mir Morss served as consul general at Paris, one of the most re- munerative offices at the disposal of the President. When nearly all the newspapers under the control of the Cleveland office holders ill 1896 bolted Bryan and supported the Republicans by pretendIn" to advocate the Palmer and Buckner ticket, Mr. Morss remain ed steadfast and true and his paper was one of the most steadfast and earnest supporters of Bryan.
 Mir. Morss was unidentified with Thomas Taggert, former mayo of In dianapolis in mining interests in So nora not far from the Greene Cananea properties, and 1t was understood that he made a good deal of money out of the sale of the property about a year go.-Citizen.

THE SOLEDAD MINES.
Return From tine Properties Greatly Pleased.

O.B. Steen, president and general manager of the Soledad Mining Com pany, which ownes the fabulously rich gold mines in the Altar mining district, in Sonora, Mexico, known as the So- ledad properties, was a stop-over visit or in Nogales last Monday night. hav- ing arrived that evening from the south, accompanied by Col. E. R. Fox. the well known Los Angeles capitalist, who had been to the mines for the pur- pose of inspecting them, with view of buying an interest, provided they came up to his expectations.
 The gentlemen were seen by VI- DETTE reporter to whom they showed large beautiful specimens of ''quartz in eold." which beyond doubt sur passed anything ever seen in this coun- try. Col. Fox was the most pleased and enthusiastic mining man it has been our pleasure to meet for many moons. He said the properties far ex- ceeded his fondest hopes, being the IL His friend Steen had been too modest, he said, to tell of half their richness, and he too, felt just little timid about saying what he thought, for fear his friends and associates would-accuse hiia of romancing.
 Colonel Fox and associates will at once become heavily interested in Mir. Steen's properties, financially, which means that from now on there will be unlimited capital always on hand to prosecute their development and equip ment, which will be done at once
 When nt the mines this time Man ager Steen gave orders to put all the men to work that could be handled to good advanta ge, and now a small army of miners is busy night and day, under the able direction of Mir Pete John son, the uIerintendent, who is in terested in the great gold mines which are being SO much talked about.
 MT. Steen has wide circle of friends all over the west, all of whom will be glad to learn of his success in getting hold of these great properties, which bid fair to make him as well as those interested with him, snug fortune. It is good let that the eastern cap italists who had thirty-days, option on the Soledad properties. which ex- pired on the 7th of the present month, will regret their failure to "produce" before it was too late.

The Arizona Climate.

One of the first questions asked by man seeking new home is: 'How is your climate?" This is matter of prime importance to the men who desire to change their re- sidences. Nature may have show cred blessings in abundance upon a country. yet made the climatic conditions such that it was not a desirable locality to live in. The Salt River valley does not resort to tricks to set forth it's climatic conditions. Take the territory as a whole and it is one of the most beneficial climates found in the Republic. Sheltered from the dis agreeable fogs and winds of the sea coast, the climate possesses that dry, pure, bracing, health-giving atmosphere natural to all regions with a limited rainfall. People who have passed their lives under the leaden skies. the drizZling rains and the fierce snow storms of north ern winters, cannot conceive the luxury of existence in a land with bright sunshine, baimy air and clear skies. Situated in that zone where the mi-tropic fruit find genial home, Arizona has a climate which combines all the desirable features of temperate attitudes with the charms of more southern cline. The map will show that the territory is in the latitude of southern Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and northern Georgia, Ala abama and Mississippi. It lies between the 32nd and 37th parallels, confessedly one of the healthiest divisions of North America.
