build a fat-boat for the Pinal Consoli- | dated. The boat Is to be used at the | Butte crossing transferring freight for the company, ill the event of the river be- coming unfordabls The boat will be large enough to carry light teams and wagons. Last year during the rainy req son the river could not be crossed by teams for period of one month, and as a consequence the company was almost compelled to suspend work on their fur mace and buildings by the delay occa- stoned in the delivery of lumber from the depot. Supt. Mason proposes to guard against a reoccurrence of this trouble.
 Blanket lined clothing and woolen un- derwear at Ochoa's 33tf |. The official canvass shows a tie between A. J. Doran and J. P. Gabriel for sheriff This complicates matters considerably and there is nov no telling where it will end. There 's variety of opinion as to the law on the subject, somo claiming that under reasonable interpretation of the statute, the present incumbent holds over till his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Others claim that in as much as the vote is tie and consequently neither candidate elected vacancy is created and that the Board of 1 Supervisors, under the clause empower ing them to fill vacancies, can, after the 1st of January, appoint sheriff to serve till the next election. The riddle will probably be solved in the courts.
 Call at J. NJ Ochoa's and examine the celebrated "Blossom Tea" It is the pure quill put up in the famous 'perfec- tion cans. 31tf
 Vice President Newton, of the Hast ings Consolidated, was kere this week and stopped work at the mill and mine, for what reason we have been unable to ascertain. Some say it was because they could not save the gold. while others claim that the ore was too low grade to be worked proftably. But we cannot be- lieve the latter is true for Superintendent Elmore assured us that the ore averaged from S10 to SIP per ton, and certainly 1 gold ore of that value could be worked proftably at Hastings. Whatever the cause may be, we trust that the stoppage will only be temporary, Cor the mill is too good a one to stand idle, to say nothing of the injury such failure would cause to the district. Those in authority at the mill are expecting to receive orders, with in a few days, to start up again and we hope they may not be disappointed.

 It is again reported the purchasers of the old Pinal Copper Company are mak- ing preparations to resume operations at the mine and furnace. This report, or the substance of it, has been circulated so often since the property changed hands that we are becoming a little skeptical on the subject But it seems to have come from an unthentic source this time We sincerely hope it is true, for there Is not the slightest doubt, in our minds, as to the property being one of great value and capable of large production under honest and intelligent management. As we have said before III these columns, the failure of the old company was not occasioned by lack of merit in the mines or defects in the workings of the furnace, but solely by mismanagement The mines and the furnace are all right. The ore is good in grade and smelts freely. Most of it will hux itself

 As will be seen by the official count, Messrs. Fryer, of Casa Grahde, and Su- ter, of Pinal, were the successful candi- dates in the race for supervisors, and they will make active and efficient mem- bers of the Board. The old Board has been the subject of much unkind and un- just criticism, but we believe they have performed their duties conscienciouslv and faithfully. Very few people are fla miliar with the powers of the Board of supervisors, and we know that the pres ) ent Board has been abused for not per ) forming acts, which, under the law, they ! had no authority to perform. The office of supervisor is the most important and yet most thankless office in the county 7 and with all the most difficult one to fill ! to the entire satisfaction of everyone. What will appear right in his actions to 3 one will appear wrong to another, for the g reason that conflict of interests makes 7 men see things in different light. Theil Y judgemnt is generally tempered by theil - individual desires and their ideas of right colored ny sellishness.
