Deep Mining.

There is one point, II seems to us,
 that is hot sufficiently emphasized
 when the prospect ot Globe District
 Is discussed We dllude |" the lac.
 that the ores of the mines nuve eou-
 Iiuued Co grow richer as depth IS Iu-
 creased. There are but four mines ID IhIs entire mineral region tuaL have reached any depth, and they aie com
 parativcly superficial. The St.Le-
 wall Jackson is down Oye' jOO ieet' the Mack AOrns over 5UO ieel' tns Centennial about 3O0 feel, and Inc Silver King over 5UO feet. luese mines are al iu the same mineral ueIt. The StOuewa l Jackson IS distant rom the Mack MOrTIs auOut truT Hu4 half miles, the Mack MUrri, from the Centennial SIX miles, the Ceuteuu.ai from the Silver King 8 miles. ct there is similarity in the compost tiOn, the difference being in the pro- portions, some being richer than otn- CTS. Then, if we take these idcts ss data, it Is fair tO assume that tnele Is the greatest abundance of mineral ue- posts between these several points, and it only requires nerve and capils' to substanliate this fact. This whole section of country is a vast mlneral bed. One can pick up most anywhere mineral float. Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, ahtimOny, mica, eic., all indicating a liberal deposit Of pre- cious metals. Now, it sec ms to us' upon the basis Of these facts, with the methods of mining and the working of ores constantly improving the o"y cannot be far distant when Globe anu adjacent districts will become the field of vast mining operations anu rich bullion output never before seeu in Iany mining section on the PaclLC coast. Every known fact indlca'eJ, that there is an ireXhaustble mIneIa1 deposit in this section, and when gu unwavering confidence shall have oee1 restored, which means legitimate anu continuous operations, no one VII li,lt. Is, gret having cast in his lot with U!OO' District.

THE Board of Territorial Prison Commissioners met on Monday, the 4th instant. Present, full Board-W. NJ. BufiLm m, John Haynes and J. F. Knapp. They proceeded at once to effect a permanent organization by electing MT. Buffum Chairman and NIT. Knapp Temporary Secretary. The. Clerk of the old Board, H. N. Alexander, declined to turn over to the present Board the papers, proper ties, etc., in his possession, on the grounds that, in his opinion, the old Commissioners held over. The Board passed resolution authorizing John Haynes to proceed in such manner as re deemed advisable 10 obtain posses sion of the books and all properties belonging to the prison. The Secre- tary was directed to prepare 8 state meat, from such data as he could ob- tain, of the amount of clothing, pro- vision-, etc., required for the next fiscal year and report at ihe next meeting.

Florence. Weekly Enterprise ]


 Very justly, and without any con- troversy or difference of opinion, Flor ence is pronounced to be the most beautiful and healthy locality In the Territory or on the coast Such un- interrupted health as is enjoyed here Is a marYel-is mystery. That there Is no sickness now, nor has been for months ana even years, is difficult to account for, only upon the fact stated, that Florence, above all places, Is mos, free and exempt from local dis eases of any kind no fever and ague no humidity in the atmosphere; no producing causes of sickness. The town Is strikingly and singuiarly ex- empt from all these things. Beauti- ful shade trees, now rObed m full fol- iage, adOrn each side of the streets. A clear, crystal stream of pure water flows constantly along the outer side of every sidewalk, very much resem- bling in this respect Salt Lake City. Around the town are green fields, vegetable gardens, growing vines and fruit trees, constituting Yernal frame work, enclosing and beautIfying this living picture. The business of Flor ence is constantly increasing. Our merchants handle large amount of goods every week. CO!liDgwOOd & Co.,, Smith & WatZlavZick, Buckalew & OchOa, c B. Tantiena, are all dO- ing . fine business. Florence is the base of supplies for large agrIcul- tural distsict, and also for the Mineral HIIl mining district, and rs these interests are more and more developed, in a similar ra- tiO will Florence increase in wealth and inn mpOTtance. Parties desirOus of settling in the Territory wish io engage in any business, could per- haps be no better suited than 10 pur- chase a home in, or around Florence, W heIe in tLe cultivation of few acres they could make d living for JhuIr families, and lay up money be- sides. Now k ,he time to obtain cLeap, urh lands In this valiey- lands that wIli double in value every year, for several years 10 come. NB- ter for all irrigating purp"ses-fOr the frsi crup lu abundance, and at small figures, and nn more profitable bus in ss COuiI be engaged In in this Ter rltOry than the cultivation Of all kinds Of vegetables, tor which there Is constant aud increasing demand. Chi nomeu are already ScrntInC the bo- manga rom afdT, and nun bers ot jhe alm"nC eyed sons of the Celestial empire are already engaged In the vegetable business.
 There is no locality to-day On the globe that offers better inducements for making money than does the fine agricultural lands along the Gila, and again We would say 10 all those am bltious to engage in the business, come on; there is now roUm for you. Occupy the lands while you can, aud while they are 10 be had, for remem- 6er they are being rapidly bought, and present opportunities will soon very soon pass away from you.

Mart Maloney, of Harshaw favored us with his pleasing countenance to- day. Mart gives good account of the district. Several outside prop critics are showing up well, ore of which Is the Indepennence, a very promising prospect, which lies ad- joining the Hardshell on the south east and between the latter and Her mosa mine.
 The main shaft of the Trench mine in now down about $50 feet. They are still sinking.
 Nothing is being done on the Alta at present. The Alta is looked upon as one of the coming mines, and it should be fully developed.

Nor even lawyer, however skill ful in cross-examination, can make a witness tell the truth, provided that the witness wishes to evade 1t. It is impossible 10 put a question in such exact language that 1t will demand the desired answer. IL was necessary on certain occasion in court tO com pel a witness to testify as 10 the way in which MT. Smith treated hIs horse. |" Well, sir" said the lawyer, with a sweet and winning smIle-a smile in- tended to drown suspicion as to utter for purposes" how does Mir. Smith generally ride horseY" The witness looked up innocenily, and replied . [" Generally a-strsddle sir, believe" '" The lawyer again asked, But, SIT, what gait does he rider? The im- periurable witness answered, He never rides any gaze al all, but I've seen his boys ride on every gate on the farm" The lar ger saw that he was on the track of Tartar, and his next question was very insinuatIng. How does MT. Smith ride when he is in company with others? 1 demand a clear answer" "Well, sir" said the witness, ''he keeps up with the rest if his horse is able to, or if not he falls behind" The lawyer by this time was almost beside himself, and asked And how does he ride when he Is alone?" "I don't know" was the re- ply; "I was never with him when he was alone;" and there the case dropped.

Moody and Sankey.

Messrs. Moody and Ssnkey arrived st our city Tuesday morning and passed towards Denver immedi- ately after breakfast. The Rev. MT. Mills went to the train to meet the gentlemen, and had pleasant con- versation with them until the train started east. MT. Moody asked many interesting questions about our city and country, expressing himself as be- ing willing to preach the gospel here also had not his pre-eDgagements prevented him from doing so at pres cnt. He was anxious 10 have some specimens of cacti to take 10 his Young Ladies' Seminary, which he he has under his protection east, and was disappointed not seeing such specimens ready for sale at our depot lie thought some one would have been enterprIslng enough 10 have such things and relics of our vicinity there for the travellers east to pur- chase. It was evident Mr. Moody had an eye to successful enterprise in every direction. He looks well and does not seem to be either worn or weary by his extended stay and work in California. MT. Sankey looks ex- ceedlng well, both gentlemen being corpuIent and weighing at least more than 200 pounds. He stated that his stay in California was longer than he expected; that on seeing the condi- lion of the people there he felt it nee esssry to remain so long, to make the work permanent. MF. Mills and MT. Gruber were the only church members that met him on the platform of our burgh.

A REPORTER on one Of our contemporaries who recently visited Camp Lowell says " everything about the prison was neat, clean and com fortable, presenting a striking con- trast 10 the miserable condition of the civil jail in our own city" This We have no doubt is true, and yet we fail 10 see where any credit attaches to the officer in command at the fort, as he has but one company under his com mand it IS not likely any great num- Der of his small force would be con- fined in the |" prison at any one time. while the civil jail in our own city receives criminals from a pOpu- lation of 20,O00 in our county, besides a number from other counties which have no safe place to confne crimin- als. We admit |" striking contrast" " but such comparisons are unfair.

A BACHELOR in 6 certain Massschu- setts town took fancy to buxom widow. She was excessively sweet upon him, and he saw that she was bound to marry him. The untortu- nate man was at his wits end, and didn't know what to do. At last, after much thought, he hit upon a happy expedient. Through his inhu- ence he had her appointed postmis- tress of the place. Then he began to send through the mail great many postal cards, which were written in undecipherable characters, but which were besprinkled here and there with such intelligible sentences as, His wife came in at that very moment" "' Her husband had previously enter tained suspicious" " He had always thought her to be faithful" and sim liar expressions. Trying to connect these sentences with the other writing on the postal cards, the postmistress studied night and day, and worried herself into the grave in less than three weeks after her appointment. - Exchange.
