 patents and is in position to accomplish such work at q very small expense to the claimant.

 The Phoenix Ga=ettc, of last week con tained an elaborate and valuable review of the settlement, progress, improve ments, industries and resources of Ph9- and the Salt River valley. That is the kind of newspaper enterprise that should be fostersd and encouraged It will do more to bring this country to the fas'nra- ble attention of the East than any other single agency. The Gazette man has & correct conception of the newspapers mission.
 At Silver King Sunday the thermome- ter stood at 102 at s o'clock in the morn ing. Such an extremely high tempera- ture was never known to occur at that mountain town before that early in the day. At Butte on the same day the mer cury ran up as high as III, and here in Florence it touched the 106 notch. This high temperature was probably caused by the unusual humidity noted on that oc- casion, and we will have this excessively warm weather till the end of the rainy season. The latter may be reached about the middle of August
 Hon. A. J. Doran was down from Butte this week. Mir. Doran disclaims any desire for reelection to the Legisla- tive Assembly, but we think it would be to the interest of our people to insist upon his return, and also upon Judge Anderson's return to the Council. This county has largo interests at stake in the next Legislature, and will need incor- ruptible and able men to protect them. Judge Anderson and Mr. Doran will meet this requirement. This we know by the ample proof furnished by their services and records in the last Legislature.
 The last shipment of ore from the Ve- kol mine, of this county, consisted of 300 sacks, the net weight of which was 24,- 99i pounds. It was sold in open market in San Francisco to Helmrick & Hanson for S3,774.09. Tho assay value per ton wss S413 25, and the lot netted Messrs. Brady & Walker $3,472.S5. Professor Church will have charge of the Nekol exhibit at Denver. He has taken a great interest in the mine on account of it's be- ing considered geological wonder. The ore will be displayed ill a handsome cabi- net, made in Denver by order of Messrs. Brady and Walker.
 The Pinal Consolidated furnace las been stopped on account of having ex- hausted the supply of charcoal on hand. It is to be hoped that an abundant sup ply of this necessary material will be se- cured at once. There arc over twelve hundred tons of ore lying on the dump at tho furnace, and twice that amount awaiting transportation from the mines. Mr Doran is delivering it at the rate of about thirteen tons per day, and should the re-starting of the furnace be long de layed he will have all the vacant ground around the furnace buried under ore. About forty-fou thousand pounds of bull lion were turned out during the few hours run last week The mines continue to improve both in quantity of ore and richness.
 MT. Fred R. Kitt.e started out tlil week on collecting and soliciting toul for the ENTERPRISE. He will visit all tn. camps and towns in the county. He il authorized to receive and receipt fol money due the office, and to contract fol job work and advertisements. Any cour tesies extended him will be grateful, appreciated by us. As soon as Mir. Kit tie shall have completed his canvass ", shall leave him in charge of the pape while we visit each mining district in tn county and write it up from personal an, careful observation. The ENTERPRIs has done much toward bringing the inex hanstible and matchiess mineral resource of this county to the attention of tn outside public, and VIC purpose continuin the good work till all of our rich minera , bearing districts shall be known and az preciated abroad.
