A Big Strike Reported I'm the Holy
 Terror Mine.

There was quiet stir in telegraphic cir cles few days ago, consequent upon the report of Il big strike in the Holy Terror mine, in which Manager Kingsbury, of the Western Union, is one of the chief owners. The exact location of the mine cannot be learned, but by some it is sup posed to be 'cn espagne,' or somewhere to the south of the great bonanza belt of the district Upon inquiry at headquarters the report was confirmed. Large bodies of the sulphuret of hope had been struck
 near the surface. These sulphurets assay as high as the weeds over the Lake valley mines of the late George Daily, In addi- tion to the sulphurets of nope there were strong indications of the near approach to m equally large body of the chloride of assessments, which had somewhat de. pressing influence upon thu stock; how ever, upon inquiry at the office of the manager this morning it was found that they have struck country rock of a good quality, with stratiflcat,ops of great ,ex: pectasions, shale and lime coming iu, which somewhat assures the owners.

Murder Near Mesa City.
From the Phenix Gazette, Feb. e7.

From the Phenlx Iazeltc, teD. v.
 Last Friday we made mention of the non-appearance of Chinese vegetable peddIer, who left Pinal for this place Friday, the l6th, At that time we stated that 1t was thought he had been foully dealt with. This belief proved too true, as the Chinese who left here to institute sGarch, re- turned Saturday, and reported the discovery of the mutilated remains of two of their countrymen about twelve miles the other side oi Mesa City. These Chinese were most cruelty murdered, evidently being shot in the back. The body of one was found near the road side, the flesh having been torn off by coyotes, while the other was lying in the wagon, which had been driven off into some mes. quite bushes, about three lundred yards from the road. From the time and place where they were last seen it is probable that they reached the scene of tragedy about dark. The murderers evidently camped there

NEVER before has there been enact

NEVER before mas there been enact
ed, IN this city, in the same
space OF time, SO many bloody and
heart-rending tragedies as have
occurred here within the past
few months. They have fol-
flowed in quick succession, and it
begins to look as though there would
never be an end of this wholesale
slaughter. The series began with
the murder of Will Mabry, whose
blood was soon after avenged by his
father and brother, in the killing of
his slayer, D. G. Lusby, and also
Lusby's father. And now the third
act in the bloody drama has culmi-
mated insshooting down in death up~
on our streets, of that big souled,
noble hearted philanthropist, Major
Thomas OConner, together with
General Joseph A. Mabry, and his
brave boy, poor, dead, Joe Mabry, jr ,
the full particulars of which are
given in another column. They were
all our warm personal friends, and
it is but natural that we, in common
with every one, should deplore and
lament their untimely taking off.
But, oh, how we do pity and COM
miserate the sinnocent inmates of
their stricken households, whose
faces have been bathed in tears and
who are now weighed down in grief
and overwhelmed with sorrow at the |
tragic end of those they loved. Will |
their troubles never cease or their
pierced and bleeding hearts never be
healede God knows they each and |
every one have our profoundest |
