 MAKES A SHORTER ROUTE.- News comes from the Black Canyon country that the Black Canyon hill is being worked, and as a result the road leading by the hill and on to Camp Verde and thence to Flagstaff will soon be put in a passable condition. Since work on the hill ceased two or three years ago the road has been in poor condition, and people who were travel ing overland from this city to Camp Verde or Flagstaff have been compelled to go by way of Prescott. By means of the road past the hill the route is shortened 75 miles.

 sEMI-TROPIcAL cURIos.TY.-A farmer living northeast of the city has something in the way of a calf that lays all over the five-legged calves and all the double-headed calves that were ever inflicted upon the public. It is a calf whose ear was frozen the past winter so hard that a quarter of it IS gone. All this happened in this county, about midway between the thirty third and thirty-fOurth parallels, not far from the Gila ara Salt rive. base and meridian, cn one of those nights when the people wondered whether the or anges would survive. The oranges pulled through all right, but that caIfs
 
 owner tells how it happened. and he is a most reputable man. He said that other calves in the same yard had formed the reprehensible habit of suck ing the ear of this one. and on this par ucularly cold night they sucked it to a late hour. When the atmosphere was at It's coldest point they left off and the. ear was still moist and peculiarly at tractive to the frost The next day 1t was observed that the ear was droop- ing and soon after that it began to go the way of all frostbitten ears.
 THE RAIN.-The rain which has been expected for several weeks after a great deal of scoring finally got off. All the signs had failed and the resi- dents of this valley had practically given up. But early yesterday morn ing the rain stole upon this vicinity almost unawares and kept coming back during the day. It was not al- together much of a rain, but it seems 10 nave been pretty general over the valley and over the mountains of the water shed. It was reported yesterday that there was a heavy snow at Flag stair and that it was showing at Pres colt and vicinity. There are indlca- tions which are better than the ordin ary rain signs that there will be more of it in this neighborhood. There must have been rain in the mountains q week ago of which there was nothing known here. There was a rise in the river Monday amounting to a thous- and inches at the Arizona dam.
