Drouth Causes Heavy Cattle Loss.

The year 1904 in Southern Arizona promises to be almost as dangerous to range cattle as were the years 1891 and 1892, when it was estimated that from forty to sixty per cent of range cattle perished for water and forage. More than three fourth of the cpttle- men of Southern Arizona were ruined by the losses of cattle resulting from the drouth during those years.
 The number of cattle however. was much greater then than now. All of the ranges were greatly overstocked. consequently tho loss was proportion ately great. The present season cattle have been dying off in great numbers in southern and southeastern Arizona, principally from the lack of water The greatest losses are reported from the Cochese and Graham county ranges. The San Simon cattle company are losing heavily. It is stated that they are skinning not less than forty cattle a day, who have fallen victims to the dreu tn and lack of feed, and yet there are many in the canyons and elsewhere that are not found. These hides are of course out on the market. If the drouth should continue for two months longer the loss would Le fearful to contemplate. However, there is every reason to believe that within the next few weeks summer rains will be with us and the danger will have passed Tucson Star.

Minis.s Investments In Northern
 Mexico

American investments in Northern Mexico for the past two years have not been as large in the aggregate as for the two years preceding, owing to a number of causes, says the Mining World; Lut still the stream of United States capital, in large and small amounts, continues to pour into that country. With the settlement of the currency question there the volume of United States investments is almost sure to increase largely. Mexico is to the United States now about what our west was to the east half century ago, viewed from the standpoint of unde- veloped natural resources. While the United States is by no means fully de-
 veloped as yet. its resources are now pretty well known, and are being ex- plotted, and within the past few years adventurous Americans have been seeking virgin fields for the application of their surplus capital and industry. While Mexico is older than the United States and it's resources were exploited to a certain extent before the first set clement in the United States, it is still a comparatively undeveloped country There will be abundant opportunity for the investment of almost unlimited capital in the development of the re sources of Mexico for the next half century. With the protection of a stable government, and equal rights and privileges with local capital, the amount of foreign capital W hich will be invested there in the next few years will be large, and for geographical and other reasoI.s the larger part of this foreign investment will be American

Tucson Tries Crude On for Pavlus.

The city street commissioners are experimenting with crude oil as a ma terial for laying pavements, and have covered Fifth avenue between Elc- venth and Thirteenth streets with oil. This has been tried in many of the cities throughout the south and west and has proven practicable. Tine oil is absorbed by the soil and leaves be- hind 1t substance not unlike concrete, which in time covers the earth where the oil was distributed and makes 0 paving rivaling the cement so exten- = sively used. It is probable that if the experiment. proves the value of the oil, much of this kind of work will be done Tucson Star.

 Mir. Wanda started in business three years ago in Nogales with two stool lunch wagon. This grew into a small restaurant business. He moved to Tucson one year ago and engaged in the same work under the title of the Merchants Cafe. He has now moved into the large quarters formerly occupied by H. D.

A Graveyard Surprise.

The romantic, the ideal and the pathetic are not all discovered in dis. tant lands. Only yesterday an old man who finds it necessary to assist the sexton of the Tombstone ceme- tery was engaged in squaring out a grave for stranger. After the grave was ready the undertaker's wagon arrived with the body, which was promptly lowered and with little cere- mony covered up. When the old man had thrown the last shovel full of earth upon the mound, and picked up the lowly head board to mark the identity of the deceased, he discovered that he had on earth. Both were living in Tombstone and met frequent ly, but he had not learned that his friend was sick.-Tombston Prspect-

Ex-sPEAkER HENDERSON ILL.
His Mind Is Affected-caused by a
Wound.

Des Moines, Ia.-Residents of this
state have learned with great sorrow
that Colonel David B. Henderson, who
retired from congress and the speak
ership of the house two years ago, has
suffered so greatly from i'll health and
pain of his old army wound that his
mind has become affected and his
memory has utterly failed him. He
win live the remainder of his years
in retirement with his daughter. 1t
is given out at his home that he is
unable to travel, and his mind has
shown such loss of strength that he
can never hope to appear in public
again.
When he retired two years ago there
was much mystery as to why he with
drew. He had attended a conference
of leading politicians in this city and
announced he would defend the plat
form adopted by the Iowa republicans.
After he returned home he wrote a
declination of his congressional nomi-
nation, basing his reason entirely on
the statement he could not stand on
the platform which he had Endorsed.
His friends then felt that the incident
marked failure of mind and this is
now confirmed.

The deputy sheriff was summoned

hour. The holdup then sprang over
the PROSTATE body of the deputy, and,
with an oath, started after Fitzgerald,
who ran for the adjoining section house
a short distance away, which he reach
ed and locked the door behind him.
After firing two shots through the
door, the holdup broke the door down,
and, cornering Fitzgerald, shot him
three times. emptying his gun, after
which he beat him into insensibility

window and started up the railroad
track toward the town.
A number of citizens, attracted by
the fusilade, armed with guns, sur
rounded the holdup. Taking refuge
behind cars and other Instructions,
they opened fire on the desperate, who
returned the fire, shooting at every
body in sight, Finally Deputy Sheriff
Kinney, with a shotgun loaded with
buckshot, brought the holdup to earth.
During the melee the holdup's two
companions escaped.

JAPAN in THE WAR TO WIN.
Count okuma Says Russia Can No,
Wear Out His People.

Tokio.-Count Okuma, formerly the
prime minister of Japan, one Of the
ablest finance ministers of the country,
now prominent leader of the opposi-
ton, says he can see no reason to
alter his opinion expressed in previous
interviews. Russia" he said, will
not be able to wear out Japan. Japan
is less a manufacturing than an agri-
cultural country, and defeat would
do little more than check it's few in
dustries. Even then there are many
new fields Of activity, especially
abroad.
Exports have not been diminished,
and on account of unusually abundant
crops the importation of food has de-
creased. Hence the balance of trade
is favorable. The annual saving ca
pacity Of the Japanese is about SO0,-
100000 yen ($15O,000, 00O). This is
almost equal to the extraordinary war
expenses. 1t will not be difficult to
raise domestic loans, as the people are
deeply patriotic.
Japan is determined to win at what
ever cost. 1t would undoubtedly be a
good thing If the war could be stopped
as soon as possible, bat Japan will
never discontinue it until it has real
lied its ideals Of permanent peace and
an open door in the far east.

ing in the path of the Anglo-Saxon
civilization"
