mine yet discovered could make such a display as could the King. The variety, richness, and showiness of it's ore would make all other exhibits pale into insig nifcance beside it. It would catch the eye of every visitor at the Exposition and interest them in Pinll county. By mak ing this display the King company would not only advance their own interests di rectly but would render Pinal county a valuable service.
 Mir. W. H. Sutherland has sold all the stock, stages, station buildings and sta bles belonging to the Arizona stage com pany, on the line between Casa Grande Florence, Pinal, Silver King and Globe, to MT. Griffith, the vetran stage man. The line will not be turned over till about the 5th of next month. MT. Southerland will invest his money in cattle and remain a resident of the smallest but best county In the Territory, viz. Pinal. He has been deservedly successful in the stage business and still owns about 25O miles of stage line which he will probably dispose of.

 The prettiest town in the Territory should not permit the Fourth to pass without giving the American eagle achance to air his gay plumage and indulge in his annual strut. Let's have celebration of some kind, minus the accustomed bom- bastie and soul-torturing oration. The latter practice has become so antiquated as to amount almost to a barbarism. Sup pose we have picnic ''down by the mar gin of the river," with music, dancing and piscatorial amusements, and conclude the days entertainment with pyrotech nic display in front of the Courthouse in the evening" This suggestion is simply thrown out as a feeler; let's hear from the people on the subject.
 The Hardy Cuss, located in Casa Grande district, was sold, this week, by J. L. Court to Mr. J. w. Wilkinson, of Mead vile, Pa. We congratulate Mir. Wilkin- son upon having secured one of the finest properties in that rich and flourishing dis trict. Some of the ore at the present depth assays as high as S1, 800 and 1t will probably increase in value as it goes down. If more eastern mining capitalists would come hither, and make personal examina- tion of properties, as did this gentleman, this county would soon have mining boom equal to that of Leadville. Not one of the men who have come here to see for themselves, have failed to purchase. | Only those who have taken their informa- tion at second hands, have passed ms by. Our properties speak for themselves.
 Superintendent Hellings, of the South Pioneer, went to San Francisco this week, to purchase the machinery for a fve-stamp mill to be erected at the mine just as soon as it can be delivered there. Although they intend to put up only five stamps, they will put in three pans and two set tiers thus giving the mill the capacity of an ordinary ten-stamp mill Their ore is so easily crushed that five stamps can keep three pans going. The general manager, Maj. Baldwin, is also in San
 Francisco assisting in selecting and pur- chasing the machinery. The company
 have q sufficient amount of high grade ore out and in sight, to fully warrant them
 in erecting a mill. The Pioneer proper,
 recently purchased from MT. Scott, by
 the company, for consideration of $50,
 900 is making 6 wonderful showing.
