the hills about ten miles north of Cliff

That the deer season in Arizona
opens too soon, was the agreement of
a party of government and university
men at the dinner held at the Gray
Goose in honor of e. A. Goldman, in
the state of Arizona. The animals are
killed before their mating season, un-
der the present law, and a protest
against opening the season at such an
early date was advocated.
Construction of the road from Rus
sell gulch to a junction point with the
Sulphide del Rey road to give Miami
people the benefit of quick and con-
venient access to the cooler spots of

A full shift was put on at the Briggs
shaft at Bisbee, and ore hoisting re-
sumed on some of the levels of the

bulwarks that practically eliminated

pervading the other workings and
sealed off the fire that has been burn
time. More men will be put on at the
Junction mine and it is expected that
full shift will be employed.
The state of Arizona has a law
which provides for the education of
her deaf and blind children. C. J. Set
tier is the superintendent Of the Ari-
zOna school for the deaf and blind
which is located near Tucson. AS the
time for the opening of schools is near
at hand, any child entitled to the ben
efits of the special school, should be
given the chance. Information as to
the admission may be secured by writ
ing to Prof. G. J. Settler, principal Ari-
zona School for the Blind and Deaf,
Tucson, Ariz.

1t is very probable that newspaper
publishers and editors of Arizona will
journey down the west coast of Mex
leo in December, as far as Guaymas,
and will make a study of conditions.

by Fl. r. Sisk, publisher of the No
gales Herald, acting in behalf of the
journalists Of the state, and Harry
LaWtOn, official of the S. P de NJ r.

is anticipated that it will be made, as
at the last meeting of the Arizona
Press Association the matter was TAX
en- up and discussed and will be fur
ther discussed at the Flagstaff meet

paper men and a several days tour
will be made.
