The Oldest Settlement in the
County of (iraham-An Inter
esting Letter on ltd (Settle
ment, Kesonrrea, Etc.
Safford is one of the oldest set
tlements in the county, and de
rived its name from Governor
Safford. It is in Graham county,
and is located on the Gladsen
Treaty Purchase, one mile south
of the Gila river. It is sitnated
only a few miles from the inter
section of the 33d parallel of lati
tude with 33d degree of longitude;
and was the county seat until the
spring of 1883.- The county seat
was then removed to Solomonville,
five miles distant. The nearest
railroad station is Bowie, which is
forty miles sonth. - A daily stage
passes through Safford from
Bowie, also Ft Thomas.
The altitute is 3,600 feet above
the sea level. The two extremes
of the thermometer are 112 deg.
in the shade and 88 or 108 above
zero. The average rain fall is 12
inches and the snow fall in the
valley is very slight
Twelve miles north is the Gila
mountain range running nearly
parallel to the river. Mt. Gra
ham, which is the third highest
peak in the territory, lies about
seven miles went Its height is
10,576 feet. Safford is in the Pue
blo Viejo valley, which is thirty
live miles long, and from sir to
ten miles in width. The valley is
level, being covered mostly with
mesquite, and can boast of a nat
ural curiosity in the form of the
Hot Springs, twelve miles below
Safford.
The nearest Indian reservation
is San Carlos, fifty-seven miles
west. The tribes on the reserva
tion are the Yumas, Tontos and
Mojaves.. There are some off the
reservation, and the number on is
uncertain as there have been so
many removals in the last year.
The last raid was about two
years ago.
In minerals the surrounding
mountains are rich, containing,
gold, silver, copper and iron.
Agriculture-and stockraising are
the principal occupations of the
people. Flour and lumber are the
only articles manufactured.
All crops are raised by irriga
tion. The soil is generally fertile
and often after harvesting the
small grain corn is planted, the
same ground yielding two crops
in one year.
Fruits, such as apples, peaches,
figs, plums, pears, quinces, grapes,
apricots, and such berries as black
berries, strawberries, and rasp
berries are successfully raised.
Safford was first settled by J. C.
Glosby in 1874, who is also the
oldest inhabitant. He was born
in Saratoga, New York, and is
sixty years of age. He is en
gaged in the mercantile business.
There are in Safford two stores,
a schoolhouse, gristmill, postoffice
and blacksmith shop. The dwell
ing houses number about thirty
three, and are constructed chiefly
of adobe.
The most common varieties of
trees are oak, pino, Cottonwood,
willow, mesquite, walnut, ash,
cedar and hackberry.
There are several varieties of
cactus, including tree, night
blooming, yucca or Spanish bayo
net and prickly pear.
The domestic animals are horses,
sheep cattle, goats, bogs, mules
and burros, and among the wild
animals are bear, mountain lion,
coyote, wild-cat, fox, beaver and
raccoon. Wild birds are numer
ous, of which may be mentioned,
linnet, two kinds of red birds,
bluejay, meadow-lark, quail, wood
pecker, pigeon, dove, owl, hawk
and crow.

The earthquake which visited
Arizona in the Spring of 1883 was
quite severe at this place, and
since then have been felt several
slight shocks.

Don't be Editors.
The following extract is from
Col. P. Doran's address before the
Arkansas Press essociation:
"Boys of my audience, bright
faced, aspiring youths, longing
for the shortest and the quickest
way to fortune, hear a solemn ad
juration, and be warned in time.
Never be editors everybody's
packing blocks, creation scrape
goats and sway-backed pack mules.
Deadhead tickets to circuseSj dog
shows and festivals (paid at the
rate of a twenty-five dollar notice
for a twenty-five cent ticket) all
very well in their way; and daily
boquets from the girls who want
to see their names in the papers
with the 'beautiful and accom
plished' formula swung to them,
are 'just too charming for any
thing.' But do not lead them into
the den of inky horror, tread-mill
labor and squandered opportuni
ties, burlesquely known as the
editorial sanctum. Stand back.
Keep out. Be boot-blacks, chim
ney sweeps, penitentiary or mem
bers of maniac menagerie that
meets in the white eepulchro of a
capitol at Washington. Be mud
clerks on a coal barge, deck hands
in a tripe factory, brakemen on a
canal boat, engineers on a one-donkey-power
canal boat, dairy
men with an aged oxen and two
goats as your stock in trade, a ser
vant girl in a poor-house or
orphan asylum. Be stock gamb
lers, railroad directors, presidents
of sausage stuffing machines, rag
venders, charcoal brawlers, cham
bermaids in a livery stable, or
policy spouting senators but nev
er, no never, be editors, for half a
one is three-quarters too mnch for
any well regulated family to have
about the house."
An old philosopher sat in his
library. A beautiful maiden en
tered the room. "Great man,"
she said, "I have come to ask your
advice. Two men have made me
an offer of marriage."
"Ah, and you do not know which
one to accept," the philosopher re
plied. "You understand the situation.
One of the men is handsome, rich
and a literary genius."
"And the other one?'
"He is ugly, poor and regarded
as a fool."
"My child," said the philoso
pher, "marry the fool, for, should
you marry the genius, you would
occupy the place of fool." Ar
kansaw Traveler.
"Can you give me a little break
fast, ma'rm?" pleaded the tramp;
"I'm hungry and cold ; I slept out
doors last night and the rain came
down in sheets." "You should
have got in between the sheets,"
said the lady kindly, as she mo
tioned him to the gate. N. Y.

THE BET WAS OFF.
Owing to Mischievous Boy and a
Dictionary.
There are lots of people who
come to a newspapor to ask queer
questions to settle beta If the
office-boy at the entrance door
finds out what the question is, he
will try to answer it himseif.LSst
night a man in a jolly mood, and
wearing a tall white hat, came into
the Sun office and fired off this:
"My friend here and I have bad
a dispute about a word. He' says
it has an 'e' at the end of the first
syllable, and I say it hasn't We
want you to settle it, for we've got
a bet on it"
"What is the word?" asked the
boy who sat on guard during a;
nap that the office cat was taking .-
"Judgment."
The mischievous boy leaned
back and began :
"G-u-d-g "
With a look of mixed surprise
and scorn the man grasped his
companion's arm and held on to
the door-post with his other hand
for support Then he begged the
boy to get a dictionary. When, it
was brought the man looked all
through the "G" pages. And
then he found it on a "J" leaf and
discovered that either "judge
ment" .or "judge-ment" is correct
"This bet is off by a 'g-a-g'
jugful," he said, and they went
away. N. Y. Sun.
The title of the Canadian offic-
ial who bluntly mformad Captain
Allen of the American vessel
Bridgewater that he would get
nothing by laying his case before
the State Department at Wash
ington was Minister of Customs
and not Deputy Minister of Jus
tice, as previously stated in tho
Tribune. The official probably'
did not intend to make an offenj
sive remark, but merely aimed to
express" ;a judicial view of the
hopelessness of any attempt on
the part of an American citizen,
whose rights had not been recog-1
nized in Canada, to prevail upon
his own government to interest
itself in his case. " Yon will get
nothing there" summed up in a
cynical way the official's own con
tempt for the measure of -protection
an American citizen receives
from the State Department at
Washington. N. Y. Tribune.
Frank Eooney,- the diver who"
recovered the body of young
George Brown, who was drowned
Saturday afternoon, was in the
water from 4:30 in the morning
until 11 o'clock before he found
the lifeless body. He is one of
the best divers in the United
States, rarely, if ever, donning the
diver's suit, and is capable of stay
ing in the water all day without
receiving any ill effects. He has
always lived in the city and works
for the Hartford Transportation
company in the capacity of diver,
and has saved nearly fifty lives
and recovered about thirty bodies.
Among the persons whose lives he
has saved are: Edward Moseley,
James Miller, G. W. Williams,
John Boach and four deaf and
dumb boys. For rescuing all
these persons he has not received
in the total as much as $100.-

"Willie," said his mother, with'
stern reproof in her tone, "I shall
certainly have to punish you this
time. - You promised me faithfully
you would never play again with
that bad boy, Sammy Shackelford,
and here you've been playing ball
with him for bore than an, hour."
"No, I hain'roanjmaP' protested
Willie, red-facirbjess and
vehement "Pv-teea." playin'
against him. He was onthe other
side." Chicago Tribune.
