 Survey Valley From Hilltop.
 A unique method of surveying was used recently by Aviator Jaques Neyvette, who has returned from the Superstition country. where he made the ascent of the familiar peak in company with Don Rothrock, a resi- dent of that district The pair made the climb on the 18th, taking two days to go to the top. They car rfded provisions and bedding for several days.
 The purpose of the journey was to survey the Salt River Valley and the hill country surrounding it, av iation in this vicinity being the ob- ject of at least one of the mountain climbers. The net result of the sur vey convinced Neyvette the Salt River valley is an ideal place for aviation. The flat country along the river is best for starting and stopping, and there are long stret- ches in the valley that will do nicely for the flights Except that the surface in some places is hard on tires. the country about Phoenix is just right for aeroplane exercising.
 Asked to Defer Visit.
 The board of directors of the board of trade at their regular week ly meeting unanimously decided to ask the government Road Expert Eldredge, who is now featuring over the state on the subject of good roads to defer his visit to Phoenix until February 10 when the Arizona Good Roads association will be in session, and the associated boards of supervisors of the state will be in session here, and the legislature will be also in session, thus afford ing an opportunity for the lecturer to give 2O00 feet of picture film and 300 stereoptican views, a chance of an afternoon audience which will be of such proportions as to more than recompense him for the delay.

 Murderous Mission.
 Francisco Macias, d former Mad | erista insurrecto, declaring that he has but a year to live anyway, has set out in pursuit of Calistro Villa real, the alleged murderer of Joe w. Meeks, at Aje, with the deter of capturing him, dead or alive Villareal has been trailed by posses into the Ajo mountains, 80 miles southwest of Tucson, and is | believed to be headed for Mexico Macias declared that he would fol- low the fugitive into Mexico if ne cessary and that in that case "neith- CT of them would come back"
 Meeks was well-liked by every body in the camp. He had done some kindnesses to Macias and the former insurrecto is actuated more by his fondness for MeekS than by hope of the reward.
 Macias was shot through the lung in one of the Madero campaigns and believing that he has only year to live. is careless of his life.
