yaru aU CaSd Oranue ana at uepIn or eighty feet struck regular subterranean river. There seems to be an abundance of water below the surface at that place. A number of wells have been sunk, and strong volume of water has been found in each of them at depths ranging from forty to eighty feet.
 Judge Stilwell opened court Monday and disposed of business expeditiously. Our calendar was light, but the Judge has had his hands full in other counties. He has dealt with seven hundred cases in the district this year and some of them have been long and tedious. This is too much for one judge, and another judicial district should be formed.
 Several large freight teams arrived at the river from Casa Grande Tuesday, but did not undertake to cross till the latter part of the week. Mir. Bancroft, who was among the number, ventured into the river with his team last fall when the water was running deep, and narrowly es- capped drowning his team and losing his own life. He has not forgotten the lesson.
 Assessment No. os the Pinal Consol- dated, announced officially in another col umn, is expected to complete the shelter, tramway and other Improvements at the mine and mill-site. Only a short time will elapse between now and the starting of the shelter. The latter will be the best constructed shelter in the Territory, and there will be no hitches after it starts.
 A new and very important gold discov- cry was made recently, about seven miles from old Camp Grant, this county. The ledge is eight feet wide and is said to av- craze $50 per ton all the way across. The report further states that the claim was sold last week to Tucson parties for 550,- 900 cash. We could not learn the name of the claim, but MT. Ochlctree is one of 1 the discoverers.
 The Silver King company talk of put ting in another roaster; their roasting fa- cilities are not in proportion to the ca pacity of their stamps. We would like to see this company increase it's reduction works to about five times their present capacity. The King could be made to yield $700,000 or S00,00 a month as easily as it yields one hundred and fifty thousand. The only thing needed to accomplish this is milling facilities; the ore is there.
 We heard one of the prominent gentle men, who was here attending court this week, remark that the valley surrounding Florence was the most beautiful spot he had seen in the Territory and could be made perfect garden. We agree with him, and if he will pay us a visit few years hence he will find this the most beautiful valley on the Pacific Coast Our citizens have just commenced to ap- preciate it's capabilities and are beginning to plant fruits and flowers
 Julius Bauerlen H. J. Sower, Henry Henson, c. B. Schneider and Thos. Des- mon have located two copper claims near Butte, and call them the Telegraph North and the Telegraph South The ledge shows a width of IA feet on the surface and carries copper glance. The ore looks rich The samples shown us will assay at least sixty per cent. The boys are mak- ing arrangements to sink 50-foot shaft on the dividing line of the claims, and if the showing at that depth is as good as it is on the surface the property will be valuable.
 Messrs. Painter and Halligan, the gen tlemen who have taken the contract to haul ore for the Pinal consolidated, arrived here Monday, and went up to Butte to make arrangements for building corrals and stables for their teams. Most of their outfit, consistip { twelve wagons and 50 head of la, les arrived at Casa Grande Monday. They also brought with them from Bodie four drivers, a blacksmith and wagon maker. They will commence hauling ore just as soon as they can get their corral built. They will deliver sixty tons per day.
 Judge J. D. Walker came in from the Vekol Monday. The Papago Indians have sunk well about fifteen miles from this mine and struck good and abundant water at depth of eighty feet They applied to the Judge for assistance in curbing the well and he will grant their request upon his return to the district the latter part of the week. He says that the Indians would sink wells at all their villages in that section if the whites would encour- age them little by an offer of tools and instructions The Papagos are the near est approach to civilized Indians to be found in the Territory.
 The Star says; We have reliable infor- nation from Guaymas that the Sonora railroad will tap Arizona ere many weeks. Work IS proceeding with all the rapiditv possible, force of men belng employed at both ends. The management expect the road to reach Calabasa about the frs of May, and then some of the force will be sent south, both roads now being under the same management. Four vessels are discharging railroad ties at Guaymas, and two or three more due and daily expected. The completion of the road in the near fu- ture IS gradually increasing business at this port, and merchants of every class are looking for a strong business boom when the two republics become welded with the iron bands
