BoquIIIas Company
 Constructing Dam

Four miles south of Fairbsnk the Boquilias Land. Cattle Co. are con st.ucting a dam across the San Pedro river. The water will be used for ire rigating a large section of the com pany's land putting it under cuitivs- tion. It is understood that large fields of alfalfa will be planted. As the company deals in the raising oi cattle exclusively, the question of feed and pasture enters greatly into the expense thereof. The Cochise County Press ssys the dam will be seven feet higher than the river bed, and two canals will be dug, one on each side O the river, to convey the water to the ground to be irrigated. The mair canals will be half mile long each A surveying party has been bus! during the past two weeks and vii probably be two weeks longer on thi'
 work. Grading crews will he wanted and it will most likely take si'
 month, before the construction wor'
 will be completed.

Think It Over
 Just a Moment

A preacher came at newspaper man in this way: "You editors do not tell the truth. If you did you could not live; your newspapers would be . failure" The editor replied: "You are right, and the minister who will at all times and under all circum- stances tell the whole truth about his members, dead or alive, will not oc- cupy his pulpit more than one Sun day, and then he will find it necessary to leave town in . hurry" The press and pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant words magnifying little virtures into big ones. The pulpit, the pen and grave stone are the great saint making truimvirste. And the great ministe went away looking very thoughtful while the editor turned to his work and told of the unsurpassing beauty of the bride, while in fact she wss al homely as c mud fence

SmokeIess Locomotives
 Are the Latest

It ough. to be good news to all cities of any size that there is fair prospect of the railroad smoke nuis- ance being abolished. The Geoiog- icsl Survey has been working on the problem along with it's other fuel in- vestigations and has found that bri- guettes made of the slack coal from the mines mixed with little coal tar will burn in locomotive without smoke and really furnish more steam than ordinary coal. The reason that they have not been more generally used heretofore is that there has not been enough margin of profit in msk- ing briquettes. But since they furnish a good smokeless fuel there is a fair probability that their use will he talk en up by the railroads within the limits of large cities and thus large part of the city smoke nuisance will be done away with.

Mexican Consul
 Gets a Raise

After Jrly l, Mexican Consul A. Pins, who is stationed at Phoenix, will assume the title of General Mexican Consul for Arizona, which means an increase in his salary A, well as an in- crease in his duties. in addition to making him the head official Of the Mexican government in this terri- tory.
 But few states or territories have general consul for the Nevic.c sc-cc:.. ment, the distinction being granted Arizons because of its bordering on Mexico and the immense amount of business that goes into Mexico through the towns along the southern Arizona boundary.
 During the past two months Consul Pima ha. certified to papers which rep resented the investment of $20, 900. .OOt in capital, most of which is being in vested in the mining districts O Sonora.

Between Duncan and Guthrie, Ari- zona, few days ago, the traditional bull which butted the engine of the bridge came very near being a reality. A big bull ran on the bridge in front oi theengine; the engine knocked him down, c1t of his four legs and rolled him across the bridge when the bull balled up under the engine and derail- ed it.

Cochise County
 Assessment Complete

The assessment rolls of Cochis'
 county have been completed by Coun
 ty Assessor Howe and his assistants
 and turned over to the board of super
 visors. The rolls show a 10 ting o S20, ,334 ,s25.l6. Of this amount there are exempt ons amounting to S552,- 4ls.50, leaving sl9, 9,7s ,,406 66, on which the rate of taxation for the year 1907 will be based The amount is about $2,OOO,OO0 over the estimate made when it was thought the TO ls would reach sl7 7.500,OO0. The rolls compose four books. The mine pro- duction book shows $6,2s4 ,04l .45 1; from letters A to G 7,4s9, ,435. .O2; from H to o, g, $50 .22472; from to z. B 9ll ,l23.S7. The total: number of names, or separate assessments on the rolls, is s,01s.
 The increase this year over the rolls as turned over by Assessor B. J. O'Reilly is slightly over SIG, ,00O, 900. The amount shown on the rolls last year wa. sIo ,3l3, 900. while the raises made by the county and territorial boards of equalization was about s. 900, 900.
 The rolls will now be held in the board of supervisors office, open to the inspection of the public, d will then be acted upon by the county board of equalization. The increase in the ss- sessment rolls should be the means of reducing the county tax rate to nearly g on the sl00. Lsst year the rate was g 60 on the $l00, of which 90 cents was for territorial purposes. l: is expected that this year the terri torial ra.e will be reduced some, as the increase in the whole territory this year will be over : 5,0O0, 900.

Gcoibaeni's Comet as
 Seen From Arizona

Photographs of Giacobeni's comet of 1905, taken st the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, show remarkable pecu- liarities, the most striking of which was shown on December 2S, when the comet had two tails, one of which was of four distinct stresmers, with nebu- lous matter between them, while two of the streamers were croosed in such a manner as to present twisted ap- pesrance, although the other two stresmers diverged in the usual mans ner.

The marked scarcity of laborers in the southwest shows to the world con- ciusively the wonderful prosperity of this country. Laborers are wanted in every undertaking. and the supply is thousands short of the demand in both skilled and unssilled Work on the Tonto dam will not progress as rapidly as it should for this reason. Men are wanted there. and wanted bad. Unskilled labor in Arizona to- day is receiving more than skilled labor was receiving three years ago.

News For the
 Western Cowboy

It is to laugh. No wonder Kansas
 editor referred to the writers for cas-
 tern magszi mes ss a "fiat-chested lot
 of old pelicsns."
 4 writer for the Current Century
 Magazine now steps into the lime
 light with the statement that the
 cowboys do not know how to break
 wild horses. Kindness. this writer
 says, should be used instead of bronco
 busting methods" Then he adds:
 "Go into any western rschman's cor
 ral and the superiority of kindness
 over the accepted bronco usting 1 methods can be demonstrated The
 young, inexperienced cowboy, who
 considers it fun to rouse all the an | tagonism in his horse nature rushes.
 into the corral and sets the horses l milling in fright. By the time he has
 roped and ssddled his mount the
 horse is ready te fight until strength is exhausted. The cowboy may con- quer the animal, but tomorrow an other fight will result when the sad dle is put on. But let the expert l enced horsemsn step into the corral, without rope, and in a few minutes he has slipped the briddle on the mount he wants, and there is no fight when he takes his seat in the saddle"
 From the above there remains no doubt that tie writer in question is reformed bronco buster. He would walk into the corral with a lot Of skinny, fery-eyed, range toughened broLcos, carrying e bridle de!tly con cealed behind his back and lump of sugar in his hand. It doesn't matter that the nearest the average cow puncher comes to getting sugar on a round up is molssses with sand and flies In proper proportion. l his bronco buster would use lump sugar. Then while the poor conhding bronco ate the sugar, which would probably be the first he ever saw, .he knight of the corral would surreptitiously slip on the bridle.
 As the bronco raced around the cor raj at 8 mile animate gait, the wri- ter of the above would gently pat him on the back and talk baby talk, mean while saddling the bronco with the other hand. He would, of course, be too humane to use a good heavy sad dle built to stay in the game, but would employ an eastern riding sad dle fittingly described in cowboy yer nacular as a postage sta SD.
 While the bronco jumped Tn three different ways at once and kicked in all directions with all four feet, this bronco buster aforesaid, would mount. He would, of course, wear English riding boots, eye glasses and cap. By talking gently to the bronco, he would induce him to trot, whereupon he would bounce about in the saddle like 8 little boat on a stormy sea. kind Providence Icing the reformed bronco buster would pick what was left of him out of the cactus and send someone with . rope to bring in the bronco.
 Strange the western cowboy never thought of this method before. It is worth trying-ence.

KILLED BY GAS
JhOn Lynn, His Son and
Daughter Asphyxiated
in Goal Mine
First Father, Then Son, Then
Daughter Go to
Death

Wilton, May ia very sad story
comes from Wilton of three deaths in'
one family, due to suffocation In coal
mine, whereby a father, son and
daughter lost their lives.
John Lynn was prosperous farmer
and an old settler, living about two
miles east of Wilton. On his farm
he had a private coal mine from
which he supplied his home with
fuel. The mine is reached by an in.
cline about 400 feet in length and the
bottom of the shaft is probably sixty
fee below the surface. Lynn had been
working on the shaft preparatory. to
operating it, but had not found time
to provide an air shaft. Yesterday
evening he went into the mine, as was
his custom, to do some work. Some
time after his wife sent their son, a
lad Of sixteen years to get some coal
for the house, the boy going down
into the mine as usual. The mother
waited for the boys return and be
ing in need Of the coal, sent the
daughter, a child of ten years, to
hurry him home The girl followed
the other two into the mine and still
the mother waited for the return Of
her children, and becoming alarmed
she went in search of the family.
/ Going down into the mine with 4
lantern, she had. proceeded but hall
way when the light was suddenly ex
4 tinguished and she was forced bach
/ by the foul gas, and her worst fears
seemed to be confirmed Hastily sum
moning the neighbors and enlistins
the services of DIR. Thelen of Wilton
the party went down the shaft ant
there found the three llfeless bodies
father, son and daughter, each ii
turn had been overcome by gas ant
1 together meta sudden and painles:
i death. a e
The sad accident has cast a gloon
over the community, where the fam
i ily were well known and highly Re
/ spected and a once happy home i
made desolate for the wife and thre
remaining children.
q Mr.. Lynn was about forty-sevel
years Of age and had lived in th3
neighborhood about fifteen years
!, The universal expression of th
neighbors is ethey. were fine people,
Z and the loss is felt by all.
