 Mir. N. Amble, who has the contract for hauling coke and bullion from the Pelton furnace, Silver Belle district, brought one of his large sixteen mule wagons over to Florence Monday to have it repaired He hauls from Picacho sta ton and has only twenty miles to go, but has not grown rich from the profits of the contract. The delivery of coke at the depot by the railroad company is very irregular and GIr. Amble is forced to wait week or more for load sometimes. He has four sixteen mule teams with driver and swamper with each of the four. This makes expenses run high and q few days ldleness will condense profits to an atom.
 The Rev. MT. Girard is having the 1 large adobe hole in front of the church filled up. He proposes next spring to do considerable work on the town plaza which lies in front of the church. In the
 first place he intends to have water ditches constructed so as to irrigate the plaza and then he proposes to lay off the grounds
 into avenues and circles and border them
 with trees and flowers. He will solicit
 contributions to assist in the work, and if
 our people fail to respond he will bear the
 entire expense himself. But there will
 be plenty of help, for as soon as the en-
 terprise shall be started, our citizens will
 recognize the need and value of such all
 improvement.
 Every suspicious looking individual,
 who may be seen prowling around within
 this county, should be promptly arrested,
 and failing to satisfactorily account for him
 self, should be given five hours to cross
 the line. A number of horses have been
 stolen here recently and as it is probab e

 camped within the county, but it IS difficult
 to detect them. By keeping all suspicious strangers out, the coming and remaining of the thieves might be prevented. Any person having information as to the pres ence of hard looking strangers should r promptly report to Sheriff Gabriel. He is vlgilant and efficient, but cannot watch . all corners of the county at once.
 A trip through the valley around Flor
 ence just now would make the eye of an
 eastern farmer twinkle with admiration and surprise. It presents field after field of wheat and barley, waist high, with vel y . large heads and rapidly changing from its green to gold; field after field dotted witl | shncks of alfalfa and at the same time l. green with the half-grown second crop : orchard after orchard heavily fruited ant s rich in variety; vineyard after vineyard t bending under a profusion of grapes ant
 numerous gardens in which every variety
 of the vegetable kingdom is growth. Il thriftily. We don't believe any othe II section of the West can present |. nor, ' pleasing picture of the character of tha
 above mentioned. It is strong evidenc v in support of the fact that Arizona valley can be made as great in agricultural an'
 horticultural products as her mountain ~ are in the yield of precious metals le Messrs Brady and Walker are preparin
 to send fine lot of specimens from thei Vekol mine to the Denver exposition '' This will be a splendid advertisement fo Pinal county. If the Silver King conp3 ny would only send sample lot of spee <, inens, what magnificent showing Pins - could make This is an opportunity tba " should be utilized. Pinai county coul !. make better display than any othe
 county ill the Territory and her mine owl y CTS should see that she does so, not onl
 for her own interest, but for the intere'
 of Arizona as whole No other metho elk of advertising our mineral wealth woul I'd be so effective. Thousands of mining caI O. italists will visit the Denver expositic ty and the districts making the best displa h. of mineral will catch their eye and dra nd their money. We hope Pinal county wi mt take some steps in this matter at once al ey not permit counties of less merit to ou ill do her. Enterprise is the key that u at locks the door to wealth and Pinal mu
 use it if she would prosper.
 Isa The two gentlemen from Chicago, VI HIS were here last week looking at the copp Ter mines belonging to Philo Graham, w. ls- Stone and Fernandez, were more capab he of judging the merits of an alfalfa lie err than the value of mine.
