were never III more nealUIy ana prom ising condition. Her geographical posi-
 tion is commanding one and draws trade from every point of the compass. A half dozen mining camps are tributary to her now and others, springing up on different sides, will soon add their mite to swell the volume of her rapidly increasing trade. All the county thoroughfares radiate from this point and all freight and travel must come here to reach Globe. Pioneer, Riv- erside, Butte, Mineral Hill, Pinal, Silver King, Queen Creek and other points too numerous to mention, and when the new academy shall have been completed she will have educational advantages not sur passed anywhere. Florence is good town to camp in.
 WE RISE to inquire of District Attor- ney Summers upon what law or precedent. he bases the statement that the Board of Supervisors cannot, legally, permit the editor of the ENTERPRISE to coppy the record of their proceedings until after it has appeard in the Weakly S,ciu? In
 what part of the statutes does he find
 language that either directly or impliedly
 empowers the Board to exclude from it's
 meetings any orderly citizen of the coun-
 ty, or to prevent any such from taking
 notes of its proceedings9 On what par-
 ticular page does he find law granting a
 ''coppy right to any two-penny poster
 whose editor may contract to publish the
 Boards proceedings at $4 year? ETe
 do not profess to be a lawyer but can read
 the statutes as understandingly as some
 of those who do, perhaps, and are willing
 to submit the question to court when
 ever and wherever circumstances may re-
 quire it. The District Attorney now ilas the floor.
 The new Catholic Academy is a fore
 gone conclusion. At the meeting held at
 the Court House Sunday afternoon, Fath-
 CT Girard proposed to donate his present
 church, the adjoining buildings and the
 grounds, provided tx citizens would as-
 sist him in building new church. Hiin,1
 self, MT. J. J. Devine and MT. Vim. Jen-
 nings were appointed committee to sol icit contributions and have been discharg-
 ing their duties this week with gratifying success. Enough money has been sub : scribed already to insure the building oi the church and that will cause the imme. ] diate surrender of the old church anG } premises to the sisters for school purposes t All modern branches will be taught il ) this school and children entering it vii 2 come out with academic educations.

 has been experimenting with 8 new pc trolium process for reducing ores, bough i. ten tons of Pinal Consolidated ore an :. worked it successfully. He is coming t a Florence soon tolook the ground over wit n view to erecting reduction works. on tn
 river to do custom work. If he has tn ;s necessary lucre to meet the expense c NY erecting such an institution there is n strong probability that it will be bull d for he will find upon examination, thi 70 Mineral Hill can furnish him all the o1 needed. We would like to see practic; .o test of this cheap process made here. ,e would be a grand thing for Arizona, 70 successful, for fuel is one of the large m items of expense ill the reduction of or' .d here. The inventor claims that ore ca a. be reduced by this method at an 'expen,
 of not more than S1 90 per ton. If tn
 is true there are hundreds of mines Id this county that could be made to vie IS enormous profits. There is no end to 0, t. low grade mines, hundreds of which ha' s, lodges that will average twenty dollars r. the ton. If the ores from such prope t. ties could be reduced at $1.50 per to a. they would become veritable bonanz nt and Pinal would become the richest mi to ing county in the west.
