A COMPLETE pan with all its gearing5 is now here for t anspOrtation to Aaron Ma son, of Pinal county. It will be attached to the little mill near Hughie's station, on the Silver King road. This mill was started couple of years ago by a locomotive en- gineer and conductor. Boiling water and knocking down fares were things they knew all about, but grinding quartz was something new, at which they failed ignc- miniously. Mason bought the outfit. The engine is good one; the mill consists of d cylinder in which an armed shaft revolves several hundred times minute, stirring up the quartz and powdering it by percussion kind of patent chlrn-bLt it pulverizes ore very wei. The former owners tried to amalgamate the pulp with machine for cooking" it. Mason is now going to try the ran process. It is sad that the first ores woI ked are to be from Whitlow'S mine, the Silver Bell.

THE new iocomtive house at the upper end of town is now in an advanced stage of erection. It is about D feet ill depth by about 100 on the back, or longest, side and is designed for four ea zines with their tenders. It is built along the rim of il circle having the farther edge of the turntable for its center. Being thus built along curved line, the ridge of its roof presents a sway backed appearance-l:ke the back of an old COW.

One charge of rape will come before them ard so will multitude of minor offenseS, of which the greater part seem to have been prosecuted rather from greed of fees than from unseltish desire to enforce obsel vance of law.

These wagons arc sent h re at public expense and convey passengers back free of cost. Besides tl.is, a bonus of ten dollars in cash is given to every person brought in by the wagons Those, who have gone, are principally women and children.

We have not yet learned whether this expense is borne by the public treasury of Sonora; or whether it is paid by sub- scription of citizens of the district of Altar. Probably the latter.
