Florence Facts.


 The shed adjoining the Catholic church took fire from sparks, Monday, and was seriously damaged before the flames could be exiinguished. The contents of the shed. consisting of two sets of har- ness, saddles and carpenters tools were destroyed. causing considerable loss.
 The new station between here and Casa Grande has been opened, and as a consequence the stages arrive here near ly an hour earlier than formerly. The men have resumed work on the new station above NIT. Whitlow's, and when that IS completed we may expect quicker time between here and Pinal and Silver King.
 Mir John T. Bates, who realized ten thousand dollars recently from the sale of the Silver Queen mine, in the San Pedro district, IS investing his money to good advantage, namely, in building himself a comfortable home in the Gila valley aDove Riverside.

 The stages for Prescott have been crowded with passengers this week, and al least half dozen persons were dis appointed this morning in being unable To go out.
 K. ]. Butler. formerly of this city, bu; now connected with the office of Collect 'r of Internal Revenue al Tucson, has been in Phoenix for the past few days, on Jticial business.
 We saw to-day specimen of the stone coal from the new discovery in the moun- gains in the vicinity of the Vulture Mine. lt IS bituminOus coal, and although the specimens shows us was of croppings, the indications are that il is of superior qual- ". We regard this discovery as sf great value.
 James Steward arrived from Prescott his morning, and from him we learn that the Co-Operaiive Mail Cos stage was stopped by hiehwaymen, near Flagstaff, last Tuesday night, and the passengers robbed. The "rusilers" got away with S4oo, but they did not touch the mall bags. As this line has been operating only about two weeks, we will call this pretty good for arter.
 We received pleasant visit from Mir. Thns- Graves Tuesday morning. He was here making arrangements to ship ore from the Ben, one of a group of five mines, owned by himself and Messrs. John Cole, Dave Potts and Mir. Kellogg. The group IS situated Tn the Cole dis trict, about 30 miles from this place. The principal mine of the group is the Uncle Dave, although the whole of them are located on the same ledge. That portion of the ledge running through the Uncle Dave IS sixteen feet wide. and carries a pay-steak full of maleable silver and two feet wide. The pay-streak has been sampled for distance of 25O0 feet and gives an average of S250 ny assay, the largest assay being 5000 and the highest S3.060. A mill-run from the ledge on the Ben gave return of S250 per ton. The test was made at Tucson and was carefully handled. At present the ore IS carried on pack mules for distance of five miles, but the own CTS propose building a wagon road to the mInes at once. The property will pay the expense of development from the start and fair profit beside. This ia the strike We referred to last week in the item reporting assays made by Mir. Jen- nings for Mir. Joseph CollingwoOd. It is one of the most important finds" made this season and will add largely to Pinsl county's mining boom.

PURE WATER.

1 Interesting Analysis Made by Professor Riekard. The partially accepted belief that the
 waters emptying into and flowing down l the Santa Cruz are as whole impure,
 unhealthy and as a matter of consequence highly productive of malarial levers in l those using It, appears by the following
 carefully prepared analysis of Professor Rickard to have no foundation in fact.
 By the same unimpeachable authority 1t
 Is shown that the water which breaks ont with such force on the ranch Of Capt
 Gay IS not only purer because of its free dum from the prevailing alkalies so com mon to the well waters of thls town, but that it compares most favorably with the waters used by many of the English and American cities. Pernicious ingredients so generally diffused through spring and
 river water are in this case econspicuously absent, and We take pleasure in publishing the appended analysis and opinion of one of our most eminent and reliable professors of chemistry on a sub iect in which every citizen of Tucson IS so deeply interested.
 The sample of water which I have re- ceived from Messrs. Leatherwood & Gull yer by authority of the City Council, and analysed by their order IS marked as under, and contains (trom upper supply, Gays ranch, Santa Cruz river) in solu. ticD, ,26.s0 grains of solid matter per Amer ican gallon Of pounds, consisting of carbonate of lime Cchalk), 11.30; sulphate of lime, (gypsum). 2S4; Sulphate of MHgnesia Epson salt, 7.32; chloride of sodium Common salt); 3.45; carbonate Of soda (alkaline). 1.22; carbonate of potash (alkalne) 0.35 organic (animal and vege- table matter, 0.32; total grains per gallon, 26.S0. This water is bright and cOlorless, having neither acid nor alkaline reaction. Its temperature, when brought direct from the rlver, was 64 degrees, being two degrees higher than the atmosphere in shade at the time. IL is perfectly whole some for culinary purposes holding m solution rather less than the usual pro portion of calcsreous, magnesium and other customary earthly and alkaline in- gredients; while its organic matter (the most objectionable and pernicious of all constituents ordinarily met with in sprlng and river waters) IS in unusually I,,N nf 1T pares very favorably with the waters supplied to London aud other large cities in England and America, when the amount of organic matter often reaches as high as2 to 25O grains tO the gallon. In short it contains nothing of an oh- iectionable character beyond this GUS tOmary trace of organic matter, and may be regarded as an unusually pure and safe water for domestic and other pur- poses.

 Being at the front, and as near to the Sonora line as We can conveniently get, any news from this region, which prom ises to become in the near future a me tropolis, you will doubtless accept and publish.
 Numerous parties are arranging for the purchase of lots and for the neces- sary brick for the erection of suitable buildings Although We are without a municipal organization we are enabled to go through the forms of law in regard to the punishment Of of- lenders. Thanks to the efficient manage ment of H. c. St. John, Justice of the Peace, aud Jas. McCarty, Constable, any disturbance within the city limits even on pay day for the railroad men has been avoided. l have to report, however, the first break of the cowboy element in this vicinity. This afternoon. within two miles of this place on the road at the Sonoita valley on the way to the railroad camps two Chinamen who are doing a restaurant business near Hampson's camp were attacked by a gang of the afoTe ,aid outlaws from civilization. They were relieved of the care of two horses and being so unfortunate as to be possessed of some coin The latter was cOntiscated and one of the two untortu- mates was brutally beaten. As soon as word was brought to the camp party was organized from the citizens headed by Chas. H. Vosburgh as captain aided by Geo. w. Atkinson and others and in stant pursuit was made. Up to the time of writing no arrests have been made.
 This occasion IS taken to inform all tramps and cowboys that there is no va cant room within the limits of the to wn- site of Calabasas for their occupancy, and that the weather is going to be very warm for their breed in the Santa Cruz and Sonoita valleys during the coming season. Yours truly,

 TEMPE, A. T., April Sth.-We have recently heard of the sale of the St. Patrick copper and silver mine and the St. James, and the Stonewan mine (gold) in the Cave Creek district, this county to Messrs. Jno. J. Hill, Jno. $. Armstrong and others of thIs place. It IS believed that the claims mentioned are of great value, particularly the cop per mine, as it Is an immense vein, and entirely free from antimony. It is the intention of the owners to develop the property, and with that object in view they are now ready to sink a shaft on the copper miue. The St. Patrick cop per mine has an everhowing spring on 1t, and plenty of wood Tn the vicinity.
 Tempe, is rapidly developing into a town of importance. We now have Hayden's extensive mills in full opera tion grinding about 15,OO0 pounds of grain daily; c saddle manuisctory has just been started here by Bishop D. w. rJones, of the Mormon church; three large stores, five saloons, large black smiths and carpenter shops. Mir Gar cia, formerly of Maricopa, is here, busily engaged in experimenting the erection of a fine comfortable hotel. MT. Wingar, lawyer jus. from Prescott, has pur- chased lot and is making preparations to build at once and make his home with us We have heard of several other buildings which will be erected at an. early date. Mir. Goldman has just com pleted a new store-house here.
 Our town has been beautifully laid out with wide avenues and streets, and owing to its being situated in the heart of the agricultural part of Salt River valley, its elevation and healthfulness, it itpromises to be at an early date one of the leading towIs of the Territory.
 We have recently had quite an influx of good class of citizens. We are glad to have them come and assist us in developing this lovely country, where a man can live under his own wine and fig tree"
 We have a literary society which meets every Friday night, and is a source of much pleasure to our young folks. A Sunday school and singing class will be organized next Sunday.
 Our Territorial Delegate. Captain Sharp, worthy gentleman, has been quite ill during the past week with con- gestive chills. We are happy tn kno W that he is now much better.

 Thos. s. Bullock has telegrsphed to a friend Tn Prescott that he has made ar- rangements in New York to open the Stevens claim on the Mammoth silver lode, six miles south of the Tiger mine. This is good news. The Mammoth Is deserving of it's name in siEe-and we really believe it will prove so in ore and bullion production.
 The fire at Whipple Barracks, last night. gave the Hook and Ladder boys lively run. A horse, a calf and 6 COW likewise a few chickens, were con sumed by the flames, which reduced to ashes the stables, hen-roosts and outbuildin0s in the rear of the residence of Capt.

 Tuesday night, we learn from one of the passengers on board of the line, the A. & P. stage, coming this way, when within miles of Flagstaff, was stopped by three knights of the road" and all hands commanded to "thrOw up," or do worse. Taken by surprise, they obeyed the command, when the robbers took from them all the valuables and cash in sight. Those on board were B Baker, Division Superintendent; c. T. Lewis, of Prescott; O. F. Place, of Chicago; c. T. Rodgers, of Williams. At Flagstaff Ben. Baker got party and went in search of the "boys." A good set of United States and county deputies should be appointed to guard that sec tion of the county from long or short haired roughs.
