 County Treasurer Gaines is causing to be filed suits for all back taxes now due to CochiSe county. Attorney John McG08au has 0sen em plOyed by the county tD bring these suits. The col. lection of back tIxes under Ghs pres ent ldg is very expensive procee l ing for the taxpayer. It requires the same proc9eding as collection of q debt by one individual fron another, and each tax suit Is a separate pro- ceeding carrying it's own cost. After Judgment and sale there is no right of redemption.
 Douglas was vis ted today March 3ll with genuine snowfall aud for q time 1t reminded all of th1lr home back in the states. The hills in all di- rectioaS were white, though ia Doug. las it melted as fast as fell. h Bis bee this morning six inches of snow was reported on the ground. Tester. day We had dust storm; today We had 8 snow storm tomorrow We may go hunting the shady spots to escape hot sun. Tne weather clerk followed no rules so far this year and the old timer who has predicted this aud pre- dicted that during the winter, is car. rying big disgust.
 From the Blsbee Review
 The city council passed a resolution inStructing the city clerk to advertise for proposi tiOus from private parties for the construction of sanitary sewer. As sewer to meet the re- quirements would cost over $75, ,000, it is an unsolYed problem how the ex- pense could be met. Bisbee is said to be at present in the worst sanitary condition in it's history.

ITEMS FROM PRESCOTT
 AND YAvAPAI COUNTY

From the Prescott Journal-Miner
 Prescott will make strong bid for the next reunion ot the R )ugh Riders.
 The name of J. F. Wilson, attorney, now adOrus the windows of front room of the Lawler block, our ex-dele- gate to congress having opened his offices there.
 Governor J. II. Kibbey will go to San Antonio to attend the Rough Riders reunion and has been asked by the Prescott committee to assist the committee from here to secure the next reunion tO be held in Prescott. The governor will no doubt do ali he can to assist in this matter and on account of his position will be of val uable service to the committee. The prospect is certainly very good to secure the meeting here.
 From the Prescott Herald.
 F. NJ. Murphy is due to arrive in Prescott on the 9th of April. His trip has been unlvoidably heightened. He was tO have been back on the 20oh of last month. When he gets here there will be something doing in min ing circles.
 Aron Riser, an old time resident of this city, died yesterday afternoon at his residence north of the Prescott Electric works, and will be buried to. morrow at o'clock, from the resi- dence. He was 65 years of age and a member of the great MasOnic fratern- ity. He leaves wife and large family.
 The miners in convention at Je- rome did not see that they should join the strike inaugurated by the boiler. makers, and the efore there will be peace in Jerome probably for all time to come. We are glad to note that they took such view of the matter aud that they will go on as usual with their work in the mines of the United Verde company. Strike are generally disastrous tO both men aud their em ployers.
 A great deal of interest is b,iug ta. ken just at present in the large block of land along the Colorado river, tow ards which a good many settlers are making their way, determined to carve out home in the rich and fer. tile MOhave valley. Several people have gone from Prescott tD the New Jerusalem '" The MJhave valley is twenty five miles long and one to six miles wide. It lies on the western edge of Arizona, and has for It's west ern boundary the great Colorado river, from which the water is taken for irri- gation purposes. It's eastern boundary is high tableland rising rapidly into the hills and mountains dotted with mines. Opposite the center of the valley is the city of Nee lies, CIifIr- nla The Sauta Fe crosses the south tru euu VT bne NdHey. llere are 3O,0OO acres of irrigaole land composed of river sediment, rich as the valley of the Nile. A tine system of canals to irrigate this beautiful and fruitful tract of land has been planned and is being mads. Land and water can now be supplied to settlers.
