 The cry has been raised of parliali- ty m our schools. The mode ot pun iShment which the tutor employs on the boys is quite effective, though moi new.

 We were shown this morning by MT. Cunningham, slpe inteEdent oi the Panther mine, Cave Creek Dls- trict, a large lot of ore taken from the mine without asserting. He informs us that the ore was taken from two | lodges, one called Panther No. l, the other Panther No. 2. The ore from the first named is pure quartz, with but slight tracings of copper, and con- tains pure gold. Out of some twenty | pounds there was not a single piece | from tire size of an orange Co that of a pea but what gold could be plainly | seen. The ore from the latter mine was of dark green color, with streeSs | of native silver and sulphurets. As says have been made which show Si75 silver, $50 gold and from $50 Co | $40 copper It is represented that there is sufficient ore in these mines to run large mill fer several years, | by simply taking the ore from a depth of only eight feet and the length of | the vein. IL is claImcd as being a true Assure lode, as it's clay walls are perfectly smooth and even. It is the | design of the company 10 erect a mill on the premises at an early date, and | to that end Gen. Vernon leaves for the headquarters of the company at Philadelphia this evening.

 Doc Veil returned from the coal fields last Sunday, and is jubllant over the prospects for dusky diamonds. | Some of his specimens were examined | by a gentleman of large experience in coal mining, and the quality ol this coal was pronounced equal, if not su- l perior, 10 any he had ever seen. Sev- eral hundred acres of land have been taken up by different parties, who are actively engaged in sinking shafts, and a lively camp will doubtless be established in that section shortly. Globe is well represented. Nathan Meek & Company have taken up tract of $40 acres, and Messrs. Hise, Palmer, Young, DOdscn and Hicks are among those who were fortunate enough 10 secure a portion of the land We understand that the Messrs An derson, of Fl CapItan, who were the | discoverers of the coal, hold their ic- l terests at S450, 900.
