Silver King Matters.

The entire new outfit of machinery for the Silver King mine has been shipped from San Francisco, IS due here In few days, and will be hauled out by Bowley & Meyers train. There are over 60,000 pounds of it, cOmpris- ing boiler, engine of sixty-four horse power, five-stamp battery, automatic feeder, three Frue concentrstors, shaft Ing, betting, etc, and lathe of tools for making all necessary repairs. BUckslew & Ochoa's train is now en route from Prescott with Gll the lum-
 Der, which will arrive or ihe ground considerably before the machinery. It will be dressed and fitted by mill wrights under NIT. Hitchcock, who put up she company's mill now at PiDsl, and who writes that he will have all in readiness 5y the time the ms chinery gets there. Bad roads had Oc- casioned some delay .n getting the
 lumber started from Prescott, but it is
 now rolling along all right. The ma chinery was held back till the lumber started. The foundations have been O0t OA tA2O cOAAN@ 4OCn OA WhlNA the presen. mill now stands, and Su- lperintendent Mason writes that they are all ready. The old mill has been running regularly. Since the last dividend was declared, the following shipments of concentrations have been made: 36,000 pounds by Barnett's train, now sold; 10000 by Bowley & Meyers, due here Tn few days; 5000 now en route from the mlll by Bsldonado, and 14,0O0 by Jenks, of whose departure from the mill sdyices are daily eI- pected. This makes total, since fast dividend, of 75,0O0 pounds. The very regular yield of these concentrations used to be about 1900 ounces of silver to the ton; lately, however, the super intendent writes ths: they go about 2200 ounces per ton, making an assay value, at $l29 per ounce, of $2600p per ton, or a cash value Of considerably over one dollar per pound.-Yuma Sentinel.

EX-GOVERNOR AND GEN. I. PEsQUEI IRA of Sonora, recently passed through Florence en route to San Francisco, and we now learn that he has actually succeeded in selling all his real estate and mining property to San Francisco parties for $3OO,0OO, and that he will not return to Sonora The deed was signed few weeks ago by the Gov ernor's wife, and there seems to be no doubt that a complete sale has been made. This implies his abandonment of all hope of ever again regaining political control of Sonora, or of an- other attempt to do it; and this fact is an encouraging one for that State which is now at peace except with the Apaches. With $3O0,OOO in coin, the ex-governor ought to be able to enjoy life himself and enjoy hearing of So- morals more rapid prosperity without him.

DIED,

In Florence, April IS, 1878, Sra. Da. Ma
 nuela K. Sweeney.
 IA deep feeling of sadness spread over
 our little community yesterday morning
 at the announcement of the death Of Mrs.
 Manuela Sweeney, widow Of the late John ". Sweeney, whose death we chronlcled Ionly three months ago. Mrs. Sweeney's illness was very brief. her death leaves five little orphans, the oldest of which Is only eight years old. Mrs. Sweeney was very exemplary in her life, a most sffec- tIonate and devoted wife and mother. Her
 sudden demise is deeply lamented, but 1t is especially sad when we think Of the i've little ones from whom, within three short months, the cold hand of death has thus taken the providing arm and the tender, nourishing care of father and
 mother. These little ones and all the friends of the deceased have the hearty sympathy of the community In their great affiictIon. The funeral Of Mrs. Sweeney took place at 5 o'clock last evening, and
 was the most numerously attended Of any lever observed in this place.-ED. CTTIzEN.l

ON our first page we give an article on the Senate amendment to g bill re- garding timber in the Territories. We see by the Congressional Record of April 2, that the House without de- bate, concurred in this amendment, but did not in all the amendments, and until a Conference Committee of the two Houses acts, the final fate of this important amendment will not be known, but the agreement of both Houses on it shows that Congress is willing the people shall have neces- sary timber fer local use without pay or prosecution.
