 Dr. Davis of Pinal, spent the week here attending Mir. Aaron Mason's family. All his children, his wife and nurse have been confined to their beds for some days past, but, we are pleased to note, are i'm proving and will soon be up again. MT. Mason has remained at home and assisted Mrs Ed. Lanoue and Miss Pillar Griffin n nursing the patients.
 An assay of ore from the Jack Rabbit mine, III the Casa Grande district, was made last week and gave return of S14, 900 to the ton. The mine has t~o-foot pay-streak of very high grade, according to all accounts, and promises to become one of the finest properties in the county. It iS owned by clever set of boys who deserve good fortune.
 The Ryland circus will exhibit here tomorrow Sunday evening. He has the best trained dogs and steers on the road and every other feature of the show is excellent. He is a veteran circus man and is well known ali over tho Pacific coast. He intended to open here last night but his advance agent failed to bill him properly.

 Mir. John T. Bates and wife, of San Pedro were among the pleasant and we'll come visitors at these newspaper head quarters, this week. Mrs Bates owns an extension of the Silver Queen, the mine in which the rich strike was made last week. Mir. Bates was one of the original owners of the Queen and realized ten thousand dollars from the sale of the property.
 The Hall brothers, of Pinal, have re- covered the horses stolen from them re- gently. They were found on the Globe trail some distance beyond the Pinal ranch, and in possession of the thief. The boys did not bring the thief back with them and decline to say whether he escaped or took trip up the 'golden stair" However, it is probable that he has stolen his last horse.
 The Santa Catalina copper shelter has been temporarily closed for want of ore, after running out about twenty thousand dollars worth of copper bullion. The company has spent about two hundred thousand dollars building roads, tramways, buildings, the shelter, etc., without de- veloping their mines properly-a mistake that so many companies have made. Un- less they are fortunate enough to discover new ore bodies, we fear the enterprise will prove failure.
 The conductors on the Southern Pacific make practice of running past Desert Station without stopping, when theil trains arc little behind time. The fact that Desert is a regular U. s. mail station seems to make no difference to them The company should be advised of thi: matter, and if they fail to correct tn, evil, 1t should be reported to the post master-general. They are paid to deliver the mail at Desert Station and should b' compelled to comply with their contract
 Dan Stevens, the Phoenix stage man was here this week. He has secured tn mail contract between Casa Grande an, Globe MT. Sutherland received the con tract between here and Silver King ant between Riverside and Tucson. It i probable that he will sell to MT. Steven or Mir. Stevens sell to him. In any even we are pleased to know that Mir Suther land will remain q resident of Florence If he should sell his stage line, he will in vest the proceeds in COWS and go into tn stockgrowing business.
 Those of our people who had an oppor tunity to make the acquaintance of MT
 w. A. Dennis while he was superinten dent of the Pinal Consolidated, will sin cerely regret his departure from this sec , tion. He has proven himself a perfec gentleman in the broadest sense of tn
 word and stands high in the esteem of ou citizens. As miner he has few equal and no superior, fact fully attested b the manner in which he opened up tn D Pinal Consolidated mines. This wor would be credit to any man; it is beyon 9 criticism.
