 Major Baldwin returned from San Francisco Monday While at the Golden Gate city he purchased for the Blk and Mowery company complete steam hoist ing works, of sufficient power to hoist a loaded cage from two thousand foot shaft. The boiler IS fifty-two feet in length by sixty inches in diameter. This machinery has been shipped and as soon as it reaches Silver King will be placed in position at the Blk mine, which is the west extension of the Silver King. The shaft on the Blk is now down three hun dred feet and will be driven thousand feet deeper as soon as the new works are ready for operation.
 The old, abandoned military telegraph line, between here and Tucson, should be taken down and reeled up. It drops across the road in number of places and Is very dangerous for teams. Col. Wheat's horses became entanglcd in 1t last week and ran away, injuring themselves, break ing up the buggy and bruising Col Wheat quite severely. Several other teams and persons have been seriously damaged by getting tangled up in the Some nf o,1r CbO1l1 1.a- move the wire, and in case the govern ment should call for it, deliver 1t up upon payment by the latter of a reasonable amount for reeling the wire up. How ever, there is no probability that Uncle Sam would ever call for it.
 The schools have been closed for the summer vacation and we hope that the board will decide, sometime during the vacation, to open with graded school at the beginning of the fall term. Agraded school will cost less and be fifty per cent more efficient than our present system. No town of the size and with the advan- tages of Florence can afford to be without graded school. The mining districts lying near here are just beginning to de- velop and will soon bring new and large mining and business population to this section. If Florence, with its beautiful and healthy location and manifold at fractions had good graded school, men coming hither to mine would locate their families in this place. It would become the resident town for all the rich mineral districts surrounding it.
 Officer Beard, of Globe, was hero last week looking for two horse thieves who sail under the high sounding names of "Shoot 'em-up Dick" and the 'Kid. '" He ascertained that the culprits had been making headquarters in the vicinity of Riverside for eight or ten days past and proceeded thither At Riverside he se- cured the assistance of two Mexicans, and under cover of darkness, Sunday night, took position within easy shotgun range of the thieves. When daylight came, he and hIs Mexican allies drew beads on the thieves and demanded prompt surren- der. "Shoot' 'em-up Dick" was inclined to fight, but his youthful partner advised him to yield gracefully, as. resistance would result in death. The advice was accepted and the prisoners were taken to Globe. They had stolen lot of horses from Salt River valley and several from Globe. Their exchequer was almost ex- hausted and it is thought by many they had been camping around Riverside with the intention of capturing the Globe and Florence stage.
