The reports of correspondents for the past Wei indicate that the weather condition which have prevailed in the different sections, have been beneficial in -all rp't. The rainfall for the week has been light but there has been a continuation of the good effects of the rain full of, the previous week. There has apparently been no very great departure from the normal temperature: the weather bureau station at luma reporU an average daily deficiency of one degree, while it Tucson it waa almost exactly normal. The following are selected report of correspondents: Yi'ua, Yurna Co. The growth of alfalfa is immense.

Lemons, limes and oranges are developing wonderfully. Pomegranates are ripe. Colorado river hold her own at 19 feet. Trace of rain during week. Pikrnix, Maricopa Co, The hud week has been one peculiarly favorulfle for citrus fruit.

The frnit is two-thirds grown, and is clean and bright. The leaves on the trees look a if they liud been polished. Grapes are being shipped east by the carload. The quality is the beat, and crop the largest ever produced in the Valley. PkEHoorr, Vavnpai Co.

The rain lias been quite general. It has done much good. It has done some damage, ranchers in Kirkland and Ferguson vallevs losing a part of their crojw by cloud-bursts. All vegetation ia booming this week. First crop of peaches on the Wing ranch is very flue.

The argument that we have no competing railroad Uni'S to transport onr fruit product to the IparkeU of the east does not hold good in Uiis, that before another year and two or three year before tree planted now come into hearing, we will Lave active railroad competition. The Santa Fe ia coming and will tap the great valley of the Suit before a twelve month, and another oompnny probably backed by the Southern of Kentucky, proposes to bnild from Phoenix to Prescott, nod doubtless will extend on Ihroagh Utah to join the Union and Central Pacific.

While T. J. Corrigan was returning on Saturday nigh fromt a visit to his mine, an attempt was made to bold him up. It occurred in a ravine on this side of Beckes ranch. The night was quite dark and he was riding leiaurly along, when a voice suddenly sounded whoa in front of his horse.

The animal stopped, when Corrigan asked, What do you want 7 I want all yon have, and throw np your hands was the reply. Heres what I have, Corrigan replied, and he pulled out hia ail shooter and fired. He says that, dark as it was he oonld easily have killed the man but believing that he was attempting to ran a bluff ou him and tiuit he waa unarmed, hf shot to one side. As soon aa the shot was fired the man ran away, and another man jumped out from behind a tree and ran with him. He fired another shot or two at them, this time with the intention of hitting them if possible, but they made their escape.

The board or supervisors of Sen has granted a right of way to 1 he San Diego ft Phoenix railroad, along National avenue, between San Diego and National city. This removes the last right of way obstacle to the western end of the road.

The board of supervisors of Apache County will attend the neit meeting cf the board of equalisation for the pur pose of asking that body to allow the assessment of the Atlantic i Pacific railroad company to stand at the same figure as last year, which is go, 000 per mile. The board is satisfied that any attempt to collect a higher assessment will bring about a lawsuit which will take years to settle. Francisco Oonzalre pleaded guilty to the charge of cntne stealtfigyS8Ter3ay7 before Justice Scott, and was held to answer before the grand jury.

Business ia very light on the Southern Pacific lines in the territory just now, and the company is making hay while the aim shines by having aa much as possible of the rolling stock overhauled in the Tncson repair shops. Several engines are laid np in the roundhouse for repairs, and the carpenters at the shops have all the wood work they can handle. District Attorney Frank Hereford, who ia now sojourning at Bedondo, expects to neit Chicago and the World fair before returning to Toe eon.

Much interest is being tuken in. the probable outcome of the International Irrigation Congress which will be held at Los Angeles from the 10th to the 15th of October. The question of irrigation will be discussed in all of its phases by men of wide expeneuce and of national reputation. The govern-ment will be represented in this congress by a special officer of tbs interior department, who will impart each information aa ia in the possession of the government on tine important subject: In grandlnias meeting convened, the people of Turns and vicinity last night unanimously requested Coiled States Attorney General Gluey not to appeal to the United States supreme court the Algodonee laud grant oase, decided iu favor of the claimants ly the United States land, court of private claims. The reasons given were that the settlers on the grant are perfectly satisfied with the decision and want no appeal, which will retard tbs settlement for years, ruin many farmers and destroy the prosperity of that portion of Arisons.

Joaqnin Contreras, the Mexican arrested Friday tor cruelty to animals, was tried yesterday morning before Justice Culver. The examination developed the fact that Contreraa hat eight children who are not taring very ronch better than hia two sad-eyed bur-( ros. He was very much surprised when hq learned that there ia A law Which requires that severe fines be ira- fiosed upon persons who do not proper-y pare for their auimala. Justice Culver found Contreras guilty and ordered him to appear in court to-morrow for sentence. The arrest and conviction of Contreras will, it is to be hoped, have a wholesome effect.

IN NORTHERN GILA. What it Being Dons ia that Thriving Section. Advices from the northern part of Gila county are that everything in that locality is in a most nourishing condition. Matter generally have assumed a more encouraging aspect. Good rains have made the hearts cf the sbx'k-ineu glad, and bnyerg recently through that section were offering better prices for beef cattle.

Much attention is -being given to gold mining. Owing to the low price of cattle the past two seasons, many persons turned their attention to pros-p-vting, with the result of several imporUmSegfild finds abont Parson and on Rye creek. The most valuable discovery up to date is ou a ciaim owned by L. L. Looney, Win.

Murphy and Frank Bissig, situated Four miles west of Puyson, A slnift was stink ou the claim and at a dept ti of 6U feet, they have two feet of quartz carrying $150 of gold jicr ton. Owing to a disagreement among the owners, the Lackawanna, the moet noted property in the Payson district is idle. Work is soon to be resumed on th Kill II mine, near the head of Kye creek, owned by Sam Hill and Jim Samnels, of Preecott. It is a fairly well devel-ojwd mine, having a doulJ oompart-ment shaft 100 feet deep. The Zulu is considered a saluable property, showing a good-sized rein at a depth of 100 feet, assaying $300 in gold.

Considerable timbering will be necessary before mining can be resumed in the Zulu. There are dozens of claims iu the Parson Bj country, showing more or less gold, anu locality ia claimed to be a most promising 8 Ir ke prospector. RAILROAD TAXES. Will th Company Ply os a Valuatioa $8,000 per MilsT Fnn lh Yam Tinx. We can not agree with the territorial board of equalization in the matter of railroad assesaments.

The valuation is probably none too bigh, bnt our main reason of opposing a raise of 35 ier cent, oa the asuessmvnt is that we do not believe the company will pay it. In the present financial condition of Hie territory it is not good policy to initiate a contest with the heuviest tax payer. It is all very well to say that we will compel the company to pay, bnt the oold blooded truth is that the oomjuiny will pay if it chooses to do so. The counties might eventually beat the com pany, after years of litigation, but in the moan lime their condition would be deplorable. Take it in our own county, where the railroad company pays over half of the taxes should the asses, ment stand and the company refuse to pay, the oounly would not have over $8,000 npon wbich to run after paying interest on bonded indebtedness.

The county would be practioally bankrupt. Our assessment this year is aliout $1,300,000, and the county must have abont $40,000. This wonid necessitate a rae of $3 on the hnndred. Should the railroad company refuse to pav, the amonot realized from other aonroes would lie $15,000, half of which, would have lo go for interest on bonded indebtedness and redemption. The county could not meet a Yxth of its obligations.

The territory is weak nnd the railroud is strong. Until the conditions are equalized, we had better take what the company is willing to psy. The great state of California has unsuccessfully fought the company for years on the tax question, and the little territory of Arizona could not hojie for more success. It is a condition and not a theory. Arlrola Notts.

Pine Cienega should be kuowa to all men as Hells Half-acre of New Mexico. Few people live there, but they often quarrel, shoot and kill on the Hlightcwt prov(Mation. The first news received of the last encounter was iitilcfinite stating that Tom Had had killed Ed Burleson, and it was snppneed to have been a cold blooded murder. This declaration tarns out to lie unwarranted, in fact Burleson was theaggres-tMr, att'ording to all of the reports received since, the killing Hall weot to Silver City and Surrendered to the Kher.ff.
