Casa Grande District.
Florence Enterprise


 The mines ID the above named dis trict are beginning to attract a good deal of attention, and all of them have great prospective value, while several of them have already developed into paying properties.
 The Jack Rabbit mine, owned by Messrs. Rabard, Sullivan and NichOl- sen. Is mnkIng a zfiundid record. lt has one iifsy-two foot and one seven foot shaft and a shipment of ore, taken from these two shafts, sampled ID San Francisco, went $1,539 in silver and s2I in gold to the ton. There are now 5 sacks of the same class of ore on the dump awaiting shipment, and will be forwarded as soon as the washOuts in the railroad shall have been repaired.
 The Ready Cash, owned by the same parties and ID !uxtapOsitlOnto the Jack Rabbit, has produced some gold speci- mems which assayed from S4T000 to S52. .OG0 in gold [, the ton, These, of course, were rare specimens, but they indicate the presence of the precious metal in She yeln m paying quantities and give the property a high pros- pective value.
 The TenderfoOt, belonging to the same group and owned by the same men, shows good ore body, assaying from 40 to 6OO ounces in silver to the ton.
 A short distance southeast of this group, lies sever al claims belonging to the Walker Bros, of Florence They nave been but meagerly developed, but show considerable ore, mostly car bonate and assaying from so to S9OO in gold and silver Co the ton.
 Southwes- of the Jack Rabbit some distance lies the Pacific, which bss been developed tO tine extent of one 2S, one Is and one l2-fOot shaft all of which are in quartz carrying rich streaks oi silver ore; eight hundred pounds of ore from this claim were sent to San Francisco, to be tested and it sampled at the rate of SIS silver per ton.
 The North Star joins the Pacific on the southwest and Is the property of Jere Fryer X Company. It has one shaft about iJ feet deep, all in quartz, which carries streaks ofhOrn silver, and there are 40 tons on the dump which samples S6S per ton in silver.
 A mile and a half northwest of the v dch hdDtlLs dcEOSS tut Ndl4t.s AAcs tAlt Orizaba. It has one shaft 30 feet deep, another 20 feet deep and several from 6 to F feet deep and all show good ore. Two and a half tons of ore from this property shipped to San Francisco, brought the owners S2I5 per ton. There are about twenty tons of ore on the dump which samples from Sl0O to Sl25 per ton and some of 1t has been prepared foi shipment. It carries chloride, carbO- nate and galena aud by sorting will run high.
 North of the Orizaba lies the Mineral King, the property of Messrs. Wright and Price The only developments on | consists of ten foot shaft, winch shows carbonate and chloride, assaying ls high as Sl,2DO per ton.
 The fame Mine adiourns the MineraI King and Is owned by J. Reisse. l. shows the same character of ore as doe, .he latter but has not been sufficiently developed to determine its value.

Two Hundred and Fifty Elephants in
 One SeaSon's Hunting.
London Eleld.

MT. Sanderson's captures this season, up to March, reached a total of 2jl ele- phants. Two of his drives were very successful, yielding sixty-tive and fifty live respectively. He could easily have caught a hundred more if he had d sufficient number of tame elephants. All the wild elephants were caugbt on the GarrOw Hills, so that 1t may be safely concluded, when SO many have been caught in such a comparatively small area, that there IS little fear of their extinction in India at all events.
 Although MT. Sanderson had little or no tune for sport, he came across and all, Il some good buffalo. The horns of one bull measured nine feet six inches outside and across forehead, and nIne- teen and One-half inches in circumfer- ence well clear of the skull, also some good specimens of rhinOcerOses, which he says are much easier to kill than buffalo NIT. Sanderson also killed some tigers, two in one day. One of these was what he hitherto has not believed in-viz: a ten foot tiger. It measured ten feet one inch by the shortest mode and he says could toe made to measure ten feet six inches.

A FEDERAL RING.

There are some small minded persons vla. should an inscrutable Providence hermit them to become appointed ser vsuts ot the people, imagine that they are a pa of ''the administration, and s-snch poss ss a joint own ~rship to the --aat commonwealth and arrogate to themselves the right to dictate whom -bs people shali elect to serve them. They forget that every private citizen oi the country is their master in the -a.io he bears to the entire population. They are hired by the people to perform certain duties, and are expected, like kitchen domestics, to "know their posi- ton."
 A conspiracy of such servants, more commonly known as federal ring is -r.- DOW organizing in this city. A few Democrats are associated with them, who expect to profit by the suppositi- tfous balance of power" of this ring. The principal object Of this close corpo- ration Is the control of all public pat r5nage: to exercise a paternal guardian saip over the affairs of the dear peopl and to profit Oy any speculation that will admit of addition, division and silence"
 The people of Arizona, however, are out of patience with rings" of any and s.l kinds, and the present organization vii meet with nothing but the most de- ta-miued opposition.

Paganini's Pet.
Allthe Year Round.


 One day, while approaching Paris II diligence, after his visit t0 England Paganini had the modification of see ing his beloved GuarnerIus fall from the roof of the coach. The delicate in- strument rec ived palpable injury, and had to ue taken to Vuillaume, the famous maker and repairer of vlolins established in the French capital Nulllaume not only mended it-sO the story goes-but made an exact facsimile of #, taking both to the Italian vlrtuosC with the remark that the two Instru- ments lying side by side m his laborato- ry had puzzled him as to their identity The dIsmayed musician seized first one md then the other, played upou both, and carefully examined them together and apart, and ended III exclaimiug iu distress that he could not tell which was his own.
 He strode about the room wild, ec- static and in tears faith and fury alike struggling for the mastery in hIm, till the honest Parisian, overcome by the sight of a grief and beNilderment SO genuine, and never from the first In- tending to deceive hIs client, asked him to keep both violins as a pledge of bis esteem and admiration, at the me time pointing out the sham GgarneriUs, for wuich he begged an honorable place ID Paganini's household. Who can doubt after this that new viOlins can be made to look and speak as well as old ones.

A Coney Island Mystery Explained.

It IS not the climate that makes intox- icatIOn from lager impossible. It IS not
 the lager either. It's the way of serving
 1t. \ CIuey Island glass of beer Is a
 teaspOuuful blown Up into a half pint by gas. A -lass of 1t would probably float away like a balloon If the top of It
 was covered up. The sensation of drinking a glas>ful IS sometimes be-
 tween broken dream and a mOuthful Of fog. The sustenance one obtains from 1t is got from the calm assurance of the bartender. who meets your eye might feel swindled. 1 asked a man who sells more lager than any one else there how his men managed tO get SO little in the glasses.
 I'll tell you says he, "I buy only quarter-barTels, and l tell my bartend- CTS that If they don't make the prico of
 a barrel on each quarter they cannot
 work for me. A barrel costs s8. A quarter holds ninety city glasses, or Sj4O, but they must piece each one out into lG0 glasses or quit work "Why, that would he over half a glass
 full" said |, "and never got half glass yet
 "Of course not said the beer seller,
 "because the men amt honest. They know that they can't keep every cent
 over SS that they take in on a quarter barrel, and that 1 won't complain; SO
 the rascals knock down a couple of dol
 lars or SO on the quarter-barrel by drawing 200 or even greater number
 of glasses. or course I think that's an outrage. but its the rule down here,
 and as long as I get my & I don't say anything"

 a Child.
London Times.

The Zirknitz Sea in Carnolia IS re- markable for the periodical disappear ance of the water every summer, sub terranean passages serving as the channels of escape. A rapidly ripenIng crop of grass and some quick-growInE vegetables are gathered during the autumn from the dried bed of the lake by neighboring peasants. A letter from Laybarh reports a singular accident of which thIs place was the theatre. 4 peasant woman and her daughter were being conveyed in a cart across the bed of the lake which was still covered with water in some places. Suddenly the cart and it's occupants were precipitated into the chasm, through which the water was being swallowed down m a great vortex, and winch had not been noticed till 700 late. With great difficulty the woman was rescued, but the child and cart were sucked down into the abyss below.

The ocean was unusually placid, but a strange commOtIon m the surf was noticed. On nearing the shore lt was seen that a fierce battle was rag ing between two schools uf fishes, one ot sharks and the other 0l sawiish. it
 vas high tide and the water was quite shallow, so that the cauial and dUrsal fins of both these kinds of sea monsters were constantly seen above water. The onslaught of each of the combatalts of which sixteen or twenty were ln view, was fierce and terrific. \ disabled saw fish Was stranded. 1 wadad lto him and with the edge of D piece o. floor board gave hlm the coup de grace. He measured nearly fifteen feet and carried d sword saw three and a half feet long, with over fifty teeth on its margin. It was found that one of the sharks had
 bitten piece out of his side equal to a foot square, through which hls bowels protruded.
 At one time it looked as if another pair of the combatauts would be strand ed, for in their struggle they came so near the spore that they touched bot tom all the time, but they finally mat aged to join their companions Tn deep
 water. and after fifteen minutes all the belligerents disappeared, to the great | relief of those who cared more for sea
 bathing than seeing the terrific fights Of sen monsters. My daughter will carry the saw of the captured fish to her home as memento and trophy of the great conflict and for an addition to her cabinet of ocean curiosities.'

An Eccentric Rishnn.


 Our good old Bishop, Daniel Wilson, died this morning He was a most ec- centric old man, and countless were the stories of him. l will mention a few from my personal experience. In ser mon at the Calcutta Cathedral, after a hubbub about some indiscretlOr attrb- uted to an officer of rank, the Bishop ai- ter powerful discourse, wound up by saying: But, my brethren, there are sinners everywhere. There are sinners even among these dear little children pointing to the Sunday School children right and left of hm and there are a vast number of old sinners in front of me,
 waving his hands over the heads of the tiovernor-Geueral and staff, members of council, heads Of departments, etc. One morning I breakfasted with him. As usual at family prayers, which he ln- variably conducted himself, be prayed Dy name for the people staying with him. There was gentleman from Mad ras for whom he prayed and then he said "Let Us pray for his dear wife and his dear children" < thought struck him, he paused, and he said to his Chap lain, "By-the-by, Is he a married man; No. my lord, he is not marrled.' "Ah, well. never mind he resumed. "He
 may marry, and the children may come"
 On another occasion lt was related that he was preaching against the sin of gvarice, when he delivered himself of | the following remarks: Ny brethren, | there are several forms of avarice; one | form has recently been brought home to
 ne most unpleasantly. You all know my Archdeacon there, most excellent
 man: well, last week he sold me a horse | for 800 rupees-he Is not worth l0 This, my brethren, l consider most | unpleasant form Ot avarice.'
