the other night, and in passing a
swamp he heard snarling and bark
ing. He had taken an old musket
along, thinking perhaps he might
shoot partridge Or some small game
and had it loaded with No. shot.
Not feeling unsafe, he advanced to-
ward the sound, and there saw two
old wolves and FIVE three-quarter
grown whelps wrangling and fighting
over the dead body of a sheep.
He got to within two rods of them
before they heard him. when he fired
into their midst. Immediately the
whole seven came bounding towards
him, and before he had time to climb
tree they We're full upon him. He
reversed the gun and used it as a
Club. The fight lasted an hour. and
so savage and ferocious were the
wolves that as one after another of
their number received a death stroke
from the old musket they bounced
upon their fallen comrade and pro-
ceed to devour him.
At this iuncture the farmer would
rush in with his gun and Kill anoth-
er, hauling one or both of the dead
bodies back to the tree near which
the fight took place. He did this. he
afterwards said. TO save their carcases,

wolf killed in Waupaca county, At
ter the half hours skirmish the seven
wolves lay dead at the farmers feet.

GIBRALTAR CITY, October 29
 EDITOR CITIZES.-As big white mark for an Arizona production, drop you a line or two citing an instance of remarka- bie speed accomplished by a PdpagO horse. Colonel Thomas Andrews, for merly of the King, and who lately has been not only prospecting bat mining in a substantial manner in the hills of Glib raltar. wJs suddenly called the other day by a dispatch from a travelling relative, who was en route from the East to San Francisco via Casa Grande, and who tele- graphed from Deming to Colonel An dreWs Co meet him, without fall, at Casa Graude. On receipt of the dispatch thefe vas not much sunshine left to undertake a trip Oi twenty miles. Seeking hOOn Kan, the PapagO chief, Colonel Andrews secured one of the finest LOIses n the ChIefs herd, and without losing time the gallant Colonel struck spurs, and the fleeing horse soon left behind him a merry group of miners, cOnjecturlug the speed capacity of the PapagO animal Seventy-ilye minutes after leaving the camp the horse and rider drew rem at Casa Grande depot. The Colonel was hailed and asked from whence he had come. He replied that he was from "the camp of the OriZaba, in the hills of Gib- raltar, just twenty miles away; seventy five minutes on the road" The time was sworn to before Notary Public, Thom mas ! TOmlinsOn, of this burg. How Is this for Arizona hOrsehesh? The animal Is finely shaped, fifteen hands in heighth, aud has had no care taken of him other than that afforded by the grass feed of the Santa Rosa valley. The boys have named him 'tiibraltar Boy"

While Dr. Handy was at tie Hospital on Monday the driver of his buggy took the bridle of his horse at the creek to give 1t water. Something startled the horse and tt ran away at moderate gait towards the city, and was caught near the Doctors office, where 1t evidently intended to stop. The ph1ton top was somewhat broken by contact with an awning post, aside from which no dam age was done. As the horsy was pass ing the front of the residence Of Mayor J. 5. Carr, near the Court House, the driver of C. Seligmann X Co.'S delivery wagon, who had stopped there, jumped out to catch the runaway, and hls own horse became inspired with desire to en- ulate the example and started on run. It passed down Ott street to Main and came up by the Cosmopolitan hotel to Mesilla street, turned up the latter and collided with the delivery wagon stand ing in front of Jos. SresOvich's s store with such force as to overturn both wagons IL did but little damage to Sresovich's wagon, but sent Seligmann's groceries flying about the street m a prodigal manner. The latter's horse was badly hurt by the fall 1t received and will doubtless be incapacitated for further service. For slow-gait runaways things looked qJute lively for time.

Mr Wm. 4. Scott, of the Pima County | Bank, has received a letter from his brother. Chalmers Scott, dated near Cokeville, Wyoming Territory, Oct. lG, in which he gives the following account of railroad developments in that region. MT. Chalmers Scott says: "The line am now running is an independent line from Corinne, Utah, to Yankton, Dakota Territory, on the Missouri, for the Cen tral Pacific, in opposition to tine Union Pacific. One of our parties commenced at the South Pass of the Rocky MOun- talns, and Is now going east to AanktOn.

CarhiSe niSfrici

This district is now beginning to at, tract considerable attention. The own, CTS of the Peabody are erecting a smelt. CT ard various buildings to be used for offices, etc. and have a number of teams hauling coke from the railroad station at Dragoon Summit, about four miles south of tue district. The Peabody mine Is opened up to a depth of 40 feet and has some 2OO0 tons of ore on the dump. This and the Grand Republic are the principal mines of the group. The company IS an eastern one and re- ported as being very rich. They expect to have the smelter running in about months. Besides these there are num- Der of mines bonded, which are almost certain to be taken, as they are showing up finely. This district is almost due north from Tombstone, distant about thirty miles, and is reached by a good wagon road. The camp Is pleasantly situated, and there Is but little doubt that it will soon take its place among the bullion prOducers.- Nugget

. New Road Want d.

The Meyers mining distrirt in which inc famous and wonderful Cf-Insight and many other splendid properties are To- cated. lies to the west of Tu,son, as 'he crow flies. about eighty miles. The present roundabout wagon road in- creases the distance about thirty miles, and is hkewlse very poor thorough fare. By reason of a passatle road all the ireighting to and from flat district Is done from Gila Bend. on tie Southern Pacific railroad. The distance from the latter place to the Gunsight nine. iS a trifle less than a direct road from Tu'- son would be, but there are such obv Q ous advantages in trading directly with a city of the size and importance of Tu,'- son, that the slightly greater 6istanc would not be an obstacle in the way O. diverting the trade of that section tO this city.
 The Gunsight Company las deyel- Oped its mine to a depth of 2nO feet, at winch point the vein IS 36 'eet wide. Fully 100000 tons of ore can now be measured. A three-cOmpartment shaft 
 works are on the way from the east A forty-stamp mill wIll be erected after some further development, and the Gun sight COmpany-One among q half dozen powerful corporations owning property in the Meyers distriet-will soon rank among the dividend paying mines of the world. This company alone will have over a million pounds of frei yht to be hauled from Tucson to the mines m the next few months, and a direct road, passing through the Cababi, PosO BiancO and other prominent mining districts, to the Gunsight, is an impeTa- tive necessity to the business growth of this city and to the general prosperity of the county. Steps have been taken by individual efforts to start a road this way from the Meyers District. and 1t will be pushed as far as POso BlancO. It is not to be expected that the miners of that section will build roads for scores of miles to benefit some other town. and the work they engaged in is for their own convenience and for the purpose of proving their faith in the necessity of a road thls way.
 The matter Of public road thence Is of sufficient importance Co demand the attention of the business men of Tucson, in the way of circulating petition to the Board of Supervisors now in session, for a survey and construction of a c1Un- ty road. The people of that section want to trade here and the business men Of the city want their trade. It Is a 1ues- tion that needs no argument the plain facts are sufficient to convince any per son of the advantages such a thorough fare would be to Pima county and to the city of Tucson.

Territorial ToDjeS.

Six thousand dollars worth of silver bullion from the Tuscumbia mine was sent to California Oct. 26th through F. W. Blake of Wells, Fargo & Co. This mine Is paying nice sums daily to MT, Nee, the enterprising proprietor of the mill.
 The telegraphic rumor that Gen. kautz IS to succeed Gen. Wilcox m command of the department we look upon as a mere rumOr. One thing We need much more than q new commander is regiment of troops for the protec- tiOn of our northern border, which is eI- posed to ruin and devastation if prompt measures are not taken immediately. Those who know anything of Indian character are aware that the savage of the West cant be trusted.- Miner.
 Last week Mir. D. c. Thorne shipped per team to Maricopa, from his Agua Fria shelter, 11,607 pounds of silver bull lion and 5,040 pounds of copper mat, the result of one weeks run. The ore smelted is from the famous Belt mine, Agus FTia District, and has paid from the grass roots down to the present depth of shaft, which is between 300 and 400 feet. The copper contained in the ore IS sufficient to pay the expense of working.
