 Jack Hanlon breathes the air of free dom once more. The evidence at the trial established but one fact, viz: that at the time the robbery changed was sup posed to have been committed, the de- fendant, the plaintiff and the principal witness were intoxicated to such a degree that they were incapable of distinguishing the difference between promisory note and circus poster.
 Fred. Neiman came down from Mineral Hill Monday, after spending a week or so there. It was his first visit to the camp, notwithstanding that he has been pros pecting in this country for over four years Parties had told him nothing could be found in that district, and he be- lieved it till he went out there last week He was absolutely astonished at what he saw and has gone back to camp there.
 Gentlemen interested in Mineral Hill are making arrangements to place the road between here and that camp in good condition. By repairing the river cross ing, just above Mir. Finch's ranch, bridg- ing the zanja and making a few more repairs, the road can be made first class. The cost will be trihing, and as the expense is to be met by subscription, our business men, who are directly interested, will lend helping hand
 We were pleased to meet, yesterday, Hon. B. J. Franklin, of Kansas City Mo. He was passing through Arizona or tour of inspection and came up to Flor ence to visit Mir. John T. Bartleson and family whom he has known for years. Mir. Franklin is a prominent attorney oi Kansas City and has represented that district in congress two terms; hence his opinion of this Territory will have weight with Missourians, and it is in nowise al uncomplimentary opinion.

 The inspector of the U. s. Signal Corp was here this week examining the record and apparatus of the signal office. H, has recommended immediate abandon ment of this station, but as it lies with tn, commander of the department to sa, whether the office should or should not b abandoned, it is probable that the recon mendations of the youthful inspector vii have but little weight. At any rate tn station will certainly be maintained til the telegraph company now organizing t build from here to Pinal and Gas Grande, have completed their line an are ready for business. The new lin will probably be in working order by tn 1st of January
