An Fl Paso dispatch ss! s.
 The Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific Railroad company, since its recent organization, has taken hold of the proposition to extend its line to the Pacific coast of Mexico with energy.
 H. R. Nickerson, formerly vice presi- dent of the Mexican Central, has been placed in charge of construction. He has just finished an inspection trip over that portion of ;be route from Chocolate Pass to St. Elena. The road will! connect with the Chihuahua and Pacific at Santa Elena, and tte contract calls for completion to that point wi:h,n twelve moc.iis.
 It is reported that Ryan interests are back of W. c. Greene in the build ing of the extension. The prediction is made by those who are acquainted with the financial affairs Of the com pany under its reorganization that the road will be the first to accomplish the great feat of building across the rug ged Sierra Madres in the more north ern ports of the republic. It will be . direct competitor for transcontinent- al business with the Kansas, Mexico ! and Orient.

Delicious Foods
 Found on the Desert

In the publication of its experi- ments in the Use of Fruit as Food,'' the agricultural department says:
 "The fruits of several sorts of csc- tus are very commonly eaten in Mex ico and other regions where cactus is abundant, and are common, though less known, in Arizona and the south- vest. Uncer the name of prickly pear or Indian fig, fresh cactus fruits. particularly the oblong, oval, yellow ish and reddish fruits of Opuntis fcus indics, showing here and there char acteristic tufts of fine spines or bris- ties, are occasionally seen at certain seasons of the year in large fruit shops. Cactus fruits may be used for jam making, and in similar ways. A rather hard solid preserve or cactus cheese, which may sometimes con- tain nuts, is Mexican sweetmeat.
 Many varieties Of tEe guave, a very aromatic tropical and sub-tropical fruit are grown in warmer regions oi the United States, and its uses are SO varied that it is often said the guave occupie. much the same place in cookery in the tropis ss the apple in northern regions"

Arizona's Wonderful
 Increase in Wealth

Basing his figures on partial return
 received from the assessors of thu
 thirteen Arizona counties, Public Ex
 aminer Foster estimates that the tota
 increase in the assessment of all ths
 counties for 1907 over 1906 will bs
 about SIP, ,oOO.O 900.
 Under the provisions of the Doran
 bullion tax law, the principal mining counties in Arizona show . marked increase, Cochiss county leading with
 A, A,OOO, 900 moro property on its tax roll this year than it had last year.
 The Phoenix Democrat says that according to figures that have been submitted by County Assessor Luke for Maricopa county to Public Exam finer Foster that county has $l ,224,- 45l.29 more property on the tax roll this year than in 1906.
 Foster does not attribute all this increased assessment in Arizona to the working of the Dorsn tax law, but states that part of it is due to in- creased prosperity in all parts of Ari. zona.
 Foster heard officially from nine of the thirteen counties, and only in Apache and Navajo counties is there 8 decrease. Apache has $22,0OO less than last year, and Navajo is sI4,9i2 short of 1906.
 Next to Cochise, Yavapsi county has the largest increase. It is esti- mated that Cochise will have about $I7 ,0OO, 900 worth of property on its tax roll this year, while Maricops will have about $l3, 100000. The increase on the Ysvapai roll is g, ,l29.460.
 Fosters figures are compiled for the benefit of Governor Kibbey that the latter may keep closely in touch with the situation in all parts of the | especially since the Doran tax law took from his hands the tax stion of the mines.
 Within the next ten days Foster ex- poets to complete in accurate figures showing the increase and deficits in all parts of Arizona and the total for the territory. His sgures for coun- ties with increased assessments thus lar are as follows:
 Cochise, s4 ,OO0, roo; Coconino, s6sl,- 3o3; Graham. s470, ,6i3; Msricops, sI,- PA ,45l. .29; Mohave, s97 ,O63; Yavapai, f2, ,l79. .460; Yuma, s4ll 625. Those decreases are as follows: Apache, $22. o 0; Navajo. sl4, ,942.

Eighty Years Old
 and Granted Divorce

His hair white with the snows of old age and co deaf he could only answer questions that were written for him by his attorney, F. R. Stees, now nearing four score years. Sstur- day told the story of his married in- felicities in the district court at Pres cott and was granted a divorce from Sarah Stees on the ground of deser- tion.
 In 1887. the couple, both of whom had families by former marriagss, wers united in wedlock in Yavapai county. For many years they shared jointly the comforts of . home on Upper Big Bug, where they acquired considerable mining property. All went we'll until sale of e group of mines was made in which both had . considerable interest. With his share of the money received from the sale Stees bought farm for his children, and . little later, in 1905, Mrs. Stees left with . son of her first marriage for Iowa, where she purchased farm and settled down. spn.-c...::y ,o con. tirre through the remainder of her life, without the companionship, e. sistanee or protection of her former spouse. Mir. Stees continues to occupy the old homestead on Big Bug alone and after all effsrts to induce his former wife to return to him had fail ed, instituted the divorce proceedings which rung down the curtain on th' last act of tbeIr married life on Sstur I day.
