ore, Tuesday, from the Mono and Amer ican Girl mines. These properties are To- cated in the Old Hat district, and are owned by H. B. Montgomery, Charlie Weiser and Frank Wilkinson. They are located on the same ledge. The latter is four feet wide and carries galena from wall to wall.
 Our townsmen, Hill DeArnitt and Mir. Dodson, returned Tuesday from Cababi district. They inform us that new stage line has been established between Tucson and the Gunsight. mine, via their camp in Cababi Also that the citizens of that To- cality have taken steps to secure the es- tablishment of postofice at Picacho sta tion.
 Mir. William D. Griffin, who has held the position of deputy recorder at this place for nearly two years, left for San Francisco. Wednesday, to visit his pa- rents. He has performed his duties faithfully and well, during that long pc riod, and is entitled to and needs Q res pte. We wish him bon rOyage and long and prosperous future.
 Attorney Stone came down from Pinal Tuesday, to look after some promising copper claims, located about ten miles southeast of Florence. Two or three weeks since he employed two men to work on one of the claims, but upon ar irving on the ground Tuesday, found them absent and no work done. Of course, he did not indulge in profanity; no one would with such slight provocation.
 Manager Linkton, of the Pinal Consol dated, left for Tucson Thursday, and will | go thence to San Francisco. He will be absent about one month. We take this occasion to say that Mir. Linkton Is one of the best mine managers on the Pacific Coast, ana during the past two months has done more effective work for his com pany than the average manager would have accomplished in thrice the time.
 It is rumored upon the street that & force of fifty men will be set to work on the Specie Paying on January 1st, but we cannot vouch for the au- thenticity of the report We know, how ever, that Superintendent Brown went cast with view to arranging for the re- sumption of work on the claim at an ear ly day, and it would not surprise us to re- ceive confirmation of the above report.
 SomO parties coming to the city will persist in falling into the numerous dens calling themselves by different names and find after purchasing, that they are swim dled, it is their own fault. Take the lit tie trouble to see Uncle Harris name painted on the windows of his store. Go first and see him, get his guarantee (writ- ten), and you will find that ryou have bought any article for half store prices. Remember the number, 221 Kearney st between Bush and Sutter.
 Hon. Donald Robb, of the Sarsr Belt, let the sunlight of his radiant counte- nance illuminate our sanctum this week. He came hither in quest of mining prop erty for some eastern capitalists, and paid visit to several of the copper claims, hereabouts But, owing to the meager developments he could not decide upon the value of the different claims, and did not purchase. He returns to Globe by way of Riverside, and will examine the differ. ent copper properties along that route.
 Mir. ThOs Cochrane laid off the town site at Butte City, instead of the Pima Consolidated company, as we stated las week. Mir. Cochrane IS selling town lot at s25 each, provided the purchaser vii agree to expend small sum in improve ments on the same. The Pinal Consol dated will erect extensive water work for their own use, and will supply tn, B town with water. The traveller, a fev years hence, will find fourishing tow at the above named point.
