 On Monday, as Mr BE. Pascoe was returning to Globe from Salt river, l he found the body of a dead man, about twenty miles north of this place, Du the roadside. Being on horseback, ! Nr. Pascoe left his companion in 1 charge of the corpse and at once came 1 10 town and gave notice Go Coroner l Swasey. The body was brought ID ] ate on Monday night and left at the ! California corral, where an inquest | was held Tuesday morning. 4 post ! portem examination held by Dr. j.. J. ! Pring disclosed the fact that the de- | ceased had eaten something that | ,aused inflammation of the bowels, | which caused his death. From a name | n an album found on tue body, it is supposed that he is Henry Hinkle. The deceased was about twenty-five -ears of age. These are abou, all the we could gather up to the ime of gong to press.
 Mir. Peter T. Kelly called at the office yesterday with some pecimeus of salt rock taken from nine which he discovered on his Maple iroye ranch, located some thirty miles rom Globe, on Salt river. The speci- ner before us shows a large percent re of salt, and the rock can be easily rushed. MT. Kelly informs Us that here is an inhaustible deposit of this ,eculiar mineral, the ledge being some yo hundred feet wide. There IS a ave in the ledge with salt nall sides. indicate that the percent ee of salt will increase as excavations re made. As salt is indi>pensabIe | n the reduction of ores, and it's inn .orJation is very expensive, lt would ,rove of great benefit to this whole mining section should some method l .e devised by which this -aiJ can be tilized. Just now 1t appears as If Ilobe district is Co he placed upon the most economical footing for mining operations. With plenty or ore, salt, ! oal, cheap water power and cheap Globe district ought O get up boom ' at no distant day .
