Arizona weekly enterprise., 1881-11-19


 congratulations are herewith presented.
 w. H. Sutherland, of the Arizona Stage Company, came down from Drip ping Springs Wednesday. He has been having and repairing road. Overseer Blair, he said, is doing good work and has the road in hrst-class condintion be- tween here and Dripping Springs. With in two weeks work will be commenced on the road over the summit, and we will soon have spendid route between here and Globe.
 Mir Isaac D. Smith and Mir. w. H. Merit, left for the Owl Head district Monday, to push work on the Jessie Ben ton. The stock of this new company will be largely taken here at home, where the merits of the mine and the reliability of the incorporators are so we'll known. Those acquainted with the mine are conf dent that it will commence the payment of dividends as soon as the mill is com pleted and commences to crush ore.
 We were pleased to make the acquaint- ance, Tuesday, of Mir S. P Hall, of Pi nal, who passed through en route to Casa Grande to meet his father, mother and sister, The latter arrived at Casa Grande from the East on Thursday and left inn mediately for Pinal, their future abiding place. Their arrival will make quite an addition to the already large and excel lent social circle of that place. The EN- TERPRIsE always has welcome for such people.
 We are glad to welcome Mir J. W. Davis, formerly of Pinal, as permanent resident of Florence. He is one of the brightest young lawyers in Arizona, man of mind and merit, and perfect type of the gen tleman. He has formed copartnership with Horace L. Smith, of this place, who is an accomplished attorney, and their combined talent will make the law firm of Smith tS Davis one of the strongest of the Territorial bar. We can recommend them to our readers as reliable and capable.
 We acknowledge the receipt of an invi- tation to attend the social dance, given at the Silver King hall last Wednesday even- ing under the auspices of the Lotus Social Club, of that place, and regret that cir cumstances did not permit of our compli- ance with the request. The Silver King people are proverbial for agreeableness and hospitality, and we know ot none with whom an evening could be more enioya- ply and proftably spent. We shall pay that thriving town visit at the first op- portunity.
 Mir. Frank Aronson, representing San Francisco manufacturers of the famous riveted boots and shoes, was in Florence Tuesday, and sold three of our merchants | 5000 worth of boots and shoes, the larg- est bill he sold in any one town in the ! Territory. This is the kind of a business the merchants of Florence are doing and the kind they will be doing when the fly brained and flapdoodle pencil pusher, who habitually sneers and snarls at Florence, is munching mush in the grey-headed end of the poor-house at the expense of the county.
 Last Sunday we were agreeably sur prised to see the smiling face of an old acquaintance of Teutonic extraction ap- pear at the door of our sanctum. After scrutenizing us closely to make sure that we were the lad he had lost-more than a year since-and was looking for, he was as happy as harvest hand at quitting time. His name is George Lang and he used to run the engine and press for us al Silver Cliff, Colorado, and ''py sheemany he vas glad to see dot poy once more. } George IS good worker, intelligent good-natured, and as full of wit as a com. edy company.
 Mir. F. A. Adams arrived here from Pi. nal Sunday, and commenced work Mon. day on new stable for Mir. Aaron Ma son, at his ranch below town. The stable will be the largest in this section and it. plan IS of the latest style. Mir Mason has purchased some fine blooded horses in Cal ifornia and means to provide comfortable quarters for them. Mir. Mason will hay, one of the best stocked, best appointed and most beautiful ranches in the Terri tory inside of q year. A visit to his plac, at the present time would astonish easterr people who imagine that Arizona farm and houses are still fashioned and con ducted after the primitive styles.
 Hon. A. J. Doran, assistant superin tendent of the Silver King mine, was il town this week, and kindly invited us t, visit that chief of mines. It grows large and richer with depth. They only rul the twenty stamps ten hours per day, ant two men can mine enough ore to suppl, them, and yet the output last month, in cluding bullion in bars and concentra tions, amounted to one hundred and fit thousand dollars. It is certain that tn King milling facilities will be mercedes soon and that the new works will be 10 cated at the Gila river. They are gettin z their wood now within twelve miles c Florence, and this is one of several reason for constructing the new works at til river.
 3 Mir. c. N. Perkins, of Ottawa, Ill, 7 expected to become resident of Florenc soon. Mir. Charles Beckwith, of the Si
 yer King hotel, of this place, is father-ir '
