 AS AccIDEST.-Charley Frederick, yes- tcrday, while busy putting a coat of pitch over a lot of zinc piping for the Golden Era Mining Company, had the misfortune of getting quite badly burned in the face with the pitch, which was acciaontly spattereo over him.
 Col. Riddle, Inspector General ofthe De pertinent of ArIzona, returned from his official trip to Apache and Verde last even- ing. The Colonel reports dry roads, dry grass, etc, all along the route he travelled. This, of course, will now be changed since the rain commenced last evening after his return.
 The rain although late in making its ap- pearance will have a good effect. Grass will yet grow somewhat, the creeks and springs will give an abundance of water for stock and other purposes. It is worth thousands to the people of this county.
 Coon AssAY.-An honest miner, and not an told Hassayamper,n tells of an assay he caused to be made of large potatoe, which was grown in the mountains south of Pres cott, where the ground is highly impreg- mated with silver, which, under careful treatment, by competent assayer, went $40 to the ton. Talk about your silver coun- tries, gentlemen, but where do you find it ID the vegetables you eatl
 Mir. W. Johnson who has been connected with MT. Banghart during the summer, farming, dairying, etc, and who was repor- ted to have departed for parts unknown, leaving Mir. B. in the lurch to the amount of several hundred dollars, called at our office this morning for the l purpose of convincing us that lie had not lefs the country, and further, to have us state that he is ready 10 make a settlement | and account for every dollar received by | him for butter, etc. In justice 10 Mir. John | son we make the foregoing statement.
 HoRsE SrEALING.-This custom, which | should terminate with the death of the in dividual who indulges in appropriating ani- nals that belong to other persons, is becom- ing quite common in this particular section Last week we chronicled the stealing of two animals on LyDx creek. Since that time two more have been taken from Spaulding's ranch on the Agua Fria. Two nights since some thief or thieves stole a saddle from J. T. Shull of the Plaza Stable end horse from Mir. Bowen, who lives two miles out side of Prescott. Last night the thing was followed up by some one capturing a fine mare belonging to Louis Dugas of this town. Since this business is being prac- ticed so extensively, it seems to us that there is chance fer the Sheriff s force to distinguish itself in following uD and cap turing these outlaws who are committing their theftss almost daily. Unless some thing is done to check horse stealing rob- bers snd road agents are liable to become bolder and bolder until they will pillagc Our small tOwna and hurn ms, fbo i,,, :i il;nrs
