Bisbee Review: F. M. Good man. a farmer of the St. David viz cinity, was in the city yesterday visiting his brotherin in-law, Officer Lowe Wright of the police force. He says that the outlook for crops in that district is good. The first crop of alfalfa was somewhat cur. tailed by frost, but the second cut ting will be fine, he says. Alfalfa isselling at St. David at SIP 90 O. b. The wheat crop is ripening and will be cut about the last of the month. There are something like thousand acres of this grain planted in the district and the yield will average something like 30 bushels per acre. The apple crop will not be as large as was in dicated early in the year, owing to late cold spells. The farmers in that district have a threshing ma. chine this year which will save them much in harvesting of their crop.
 Prescott Courier: D. N. Jenkins the Mayer mining man, has pre- sented the Arizona Pioneer Home with one of the most appropriate ly historic dinner bells imaginable This bell was found on the western desert section of Arizona by COW boy and was presented to Mir. Jen. kins. It has a remarkably musi- cal, clear and far reaching tone, weighs probably over ten pounds and has the coat of arms of the United Stat9e of America on it's four sides. This bell Is a camel bell and was worn by the bell cam. el of the herd which was brought to Arizona before the war between the states for the purpose of trans porting government supplies across the waterless regions of this terri tory. These camels were in charge of Hi Joley and Greek George, While Jolly is generally referred tc as a Greek he is said to have been an Assyrian. The cames were not success, as the sharp malapai rocks made their feet sore and put them out of commission. They were all right in the country o pure and deep sand. They were taken to Nevada, then brough to Arizona and turned loose, wen wild and were gradually extermi hated by freighIers who shot then because they frightened and stan peded their horseS. The last 0 this herd of 60 camels was killed a few years ago. Certainly nc more appropriate dinner bell coulC nave been procured.

will show a material increase in the salary fund, which is credited to the fact that the county hospital and poor farm is now being con- ducted by the county and sslaried officers. Another reason is that the county rangers have also been added to the monthly list of county en ployes. However, it will he not ed that there a large decrease in the expense fund.
 Tombstone Prospector: Artesian water has been encountered in the Wilcox well. The first flow was encountered several days ago at a depth of about 1885 feet, but the water was brackish. On contin- uing the drilling beyond 800 feet several more flows were encounter. ed, and the water IS now of good quality. The we'll is now dowr $50 feet, at which depth he drlllers are encountering hard ground It has been decided to go to a depth of 1000 feet if necessary. The flows encountered SD far were small and have not been measured. But the drllers, from their experience in such matters, are of the opinion that in all proba bility flow of 250 gallons per minute will be developed.

Miss Hall had intended to take the trip to the rocks upon her return from the meeting of the Arizona Develop. ment board at Douglas last week but was unable to do so, being obliged to go to Phoenix.
 Tombstone Prospector: Frank NJ. Watts, general manager of the Wheeler Land company. which owns many hundred thousands of acres of valuable lands east and south of Nacozari. Sonora, states that he will move the headquarters from La Cuesta Castillo, just north of Nacozari, to Douglas, and the general business of the company will hereafter be conducted from his side of the line.
