 PRESCOTT, November 11.-Late mining news from MOhave county is very encour- aging. The Keystone company is drift ing and sinking on their mine and getting out very rich ore. The shaft is 1S0 feet deep. The Lone Star company has re- sumed work and have on exhibition at the office of the secretary, Vim. A. Mix, in Mineral Park, some most wonderfully rich specimens of silver ore. One piece weighing about fifty pounds Is described as almost plated with free silver, with lit- tie punches of horn silver sticking out a quarter of an inch all oVerit. Capt. Vel bourn has Krom Dry COncentrator in operation which is working admirably, doing all that was claimed for it; and it is reported that parties are about to visit the neigh borhoOd of Prescott to examine the quality of the ores with view 10 bringing one Of the concentratOrs here to work. N. F. Pierce and JaycoX who have been some months at work with arraStrarS on their Greenwood mine near the eastern line of MOhave county, having had sever al offers for their mine, finally authorized R. w. Groom to sell it for certain sum. After waiting some time they themselves sold it to Davis & Randall of Mineral Park, who at once started supplies and men to go to work, when MT; Groom un- eXpectedly notified MessrS. Pierce & Jay cox that he had effected a sale to the agent of John P. Jones of Nevada for ten thousand and the money was ready,

Parties started in the night from the Park and rushed out there to se- cure locations.
 PRESCOTT, November l2.-Lieut. Theo. Smith, superintendent of United States telegraph lines in this section, stead Of building a new Hne from Verde to Apache, will soon start one from Tucson via Camp Lowell, Grant and San Carlos to Apache. It will cost less to build one by these plac- es than to connect Verde and Apache via the MogOllon mountains, and the line be
 more readily kept up and attended to-; again it will be of greater service to the military and citizens, because it will pass through important military posts, Indian reservations and settlements. Officers of the government now in Arizona, are look ing forward to the time not far distant when Prescott will have lines of telegraph connecting with towns in Mohave county and with great Salt Lake City and Santa Fe.
 Another illustration of the saying that fact is stranger than fiction, just came off in Prescott.
 Some years ago in Norway two lovers were united in matrimony and came to the United States where the better halt incontinently skedadled and left the hus- band inconSolable. Fortune smiled on him however and in bushes pursuits he wandered to South America and recently brought up in San Francisco, the happy posseSSor of S30,000 but still mourning the loss of his wife, when he accidentally met an acquaintance recently from Prescott who told him his wife was here living a lewd life.
 The infatuated man at once started for Arizona reaching Prescott on last stage. He sought out the erring wife, and with all his eloquence and S50,000 to back him, failed to induce her to go with him. He had her photograph which he had pre- served through all these years in evidence of his love, but neither his constancy nor cash had any effect on his Obdurate spouse with the best wishes of all who were cognizant of the circumstances.
