 cut short Tuesday night through the agen cy of poisoned meat There are numerous dogs here that should be sent to the ca nine's Mecca, but poison is not a proper means of riddance. Some valuable dogs are apt to be killed by that plan. A good shotgun is the safest destroyer
 An order discontinuing the signal office and military telegraph line at this place was received Tuesday. There has been no need of the military line since the estab- lishment of the Silver King and Florence telegraph line. MT. Herman, the signal service man, will probably be transferred to Washington. He is very pleasant gentleman and we shall regret to lose him.
 Mir. w. H. Sutherland, of the Arizona Stage Company, is building new black smith shop at Casa Grande. The build ing will be constructed entirely of lum- Der and in size will be 32x40 feet. It will contain two forges and all the mod ern appliances for blacksmithing. All the material is on the ground and the work of building will be completed as soon as possible.
 The superintendent of the Silver King, was here Tuesday. He has been thorough ly overhaullng the King mill, and has placed it in splendid working order. They are now taking enough ore from the 700 foot level to keep the mill running day and night, and this too, without stopping. The whole of the level and cross cuts are in solid ore, equally as rich as that in the AGO foot level.
 Our young friend Stevens passed through here yesterday, retcrning to San Carlos. The outbreak of the Apaches, caused him to abreviate his visit at Tucson. He speaks in glowing terms of chief of Scouts Sterling, who was killed by the hostiles. He was young man of fine attainments and admirable character His life was worth more than all the beastly Apaches in Arizona.
 Mir. Holbrooks school has been closed for the season and the pupils distributed between the remaining two schools. The closing was occasioned by the falling of in the attendance, thing that occurs ev- cry spring. Juveniles like open-air frolic better than books and benches when the springtine and "gentle Annie" come, and it is difficult to keep them in school, notwithstanding the law for compulsory education.
 The discoutinuation of Mir Holbrook's school has left Mir Stanton with his hands full He has now forty-two pupils tc teach and they are divided into so many classes that he cannot possibly do justice to them The number of classes cannot be reduced for the reason that each of the classes represents different grade of ad vancement. We believe it was unwist to discontinue Mir Holbrook's school al present.
 Judge Alexander, of Yuma, who hal been confined to his room at the Silve King hotel since the adjournment 0 court by threatened attack of erysipelas is on his feet again and left for Pinal yes terday with the superintendent of thu Silver King. He will take a look at thu lower workings of that wonderful min, before his return. The King, liko all o Pinal county's rich mines, is always opel to inspection.
 Messrs. Sullivan, Robard and Michel son have commenced work on their prop erty in the Casa Grande district, and ex pect to commence shipping ore soon They own a group of seven mines, all 70 cated within radius of one mile square The principal claims are the Jack Rabbit the Tender Foot and the Ready Cash, al of which show hattering promise. Tn boys will have no difficulty in fndin plenty of shipping to pay for the develop ment of their properties.
 When the Hastings mill, the Jessi Benton mill and the PinaI Consolidate shelter steam up and add their produc } to that of the Silver King, Pinal county } will show bullion output second to Il } county in the Territory. Each of thes 7 properties will pay dividends, and ther
 are hundred of other mines here equall as good, so far as they can be judged b the meager developments on them. ] , needs only money and mills and intell ' gent management to make Pinal count | one of the largest producers of the prt
 cious metals on the continent.
 l Charlie Weiser brought in some roc , from the Gold Bud this week and froi f one piece of it, not larger than hickor I nut, lie ''horned out" ten cents worth |, gold. There is nine-inch streak of tn
 rock on the claim, and if it will all tur
 out like the piece he tested the Gold Bu . !, will prove the richest mine yet discovere u in Arizona. It lies in the Owl HeaC T district and was located by Weiser, NJ $ ran and Morgan last week. We are il 5 debted to Charlie for a lot of beautif
 specimens from other claims they locate '- in that district. They are all high h-grad F. Mir Wm. Jennings returned from u k Cole district Sunday He went thith n to take samples aud assort ore at the ne ,- strik made by MT. Thos. Graves ar
 others. He reports it one of the vel IF best prospects in the Territory, but do
 not undertake to estimate its real vall on account of the meager development
