 We are grateful to our good friend Mir. Madison Risinger for large bunch of beautiful fowers-fraQ grant sweet peas-left on our desk with the compliments of that worthy gentle man who never forgets his friends. Thanks, friend Madison, we would rather possess the smallest petal of a tiny sweet-pea while we can enjoy the fragrance, than have our coffin loaded with the rarest flowers of the earth.

 Mir. l.. J. F. Jaeger, the hotel man, spent Thursday in Nogales consulting with his mining partners Messrs Proto and Jones. regarding future operations at their copper discoverie: south of Nosales, Sonora, couple o
 miles where they have established e camp, and have been doing explora- ton and development work, witl satisfactory results. The surface iRdi- cations certainly are good, and tht

 with which to exploit and develop
 their large holdings; the result of thei efforts will be awaited impatiently. | If the Odd Fellows of Arizona art
