 Minerals, Bears and Indians.
 MT. W. A. Beers, secretary of Hiram Lodge No. l, and who is in frequent communica- tion with members of the Masonic order who were formerly residents of this city, but are now located in various parts of this terres- trial sphere. has just received as present from Homer W. Fiske, of Globe, Arizona, 8 box containing fine collection of ores from that mining district, which are richly anal gamated with gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc Also silver ore chloride, lead ore with native silver, copper ore with native gold, etc. Also a fine specimen of lime deposit, resembling ivory, from Salt river, Arizona :; asbestos in it's original state, and large toe nail from one of the huge bears for which this country is noted. These specimens are all numbered and accompanied with an ex- planatory list, and are very interesting to ex- anime, especially to those interested in the subject of mining, etc. They give little idea how vastly rich Arizona Territory is in it's production of the valuable metals which these samples represent. Mir. Beers will be pleased to show them to any party who may wish to examine them at his photo graph gallery, PAP Chapel street. Mir. Homer W. Fiske was some eight years ago resident of this city and engaged in the manufacture and repairing of firearms. He became member of the Masonic order about1874 and soon after removed to Globe, Arizona, and entered into the business of machinist and gunsmith, and is now doing very successful business, especially in the sale of arms and ammunition, there being quite steady de- mand for these goods, arising probably from the hostility of the Indian brethren with which Arizona is infested, as well as the nu- merous belligerent bears in that region.
 A recent letter from MT. Fiske stated that the ssIndians had been raiding on the whites again and had killed about one hundred men :" but he says "We have retaliated and just whipped them and killed some one hun dred of their number" and he thinks that will keep them quiet for some time About once year they expect to go through the same conflict and have to fight sharp, as the redskins are very active and hostile.
