 General Manager Linkton, of the Pinal Consolidated, and Jessie Hardesty visited the Cholla group of mines, at Mineral Hill, Thusday, and report great quan- tity of ore in sight. Eighty-one sacks of first class ore has been carried down from the mines to the road and will be sent to the Melrose shelter as soon as teams can be engaged to haul them. On the dump there are chunks of solid galena ore al most as large as a water pail, and the drifts and cross-cuts in the Cholla are in solid masses of ore of the same character. Mir. Linkton, we understand, thinks well of the property. It IS owned by Hon. c. H. Oury and Mir Hardesty, but held un- der working bond by Messrs. Miller and Sibbald.
 Another rich strike has been made in Mineral Hill. The ledge was reached i'll the Lelo tunnel Friday, and after passing through red spar casing, ten inches thick, the tunnel entered vein heavily i'm pregnated with horn silver in sheets and cubes. The width of the vein has not been determined yet. It has been pene- trated to depth of two feet and the ore is richer in the breast of the tunnel than it was at the point of entry. The point at which the ledge was tapped is sixty feet below the surface, showing that the ore IS not a mere surface deposit. The Lelo is an extension of the Pacific and the ledge is one of the largest in the district Further development of this property will be watched with interest and ill the be- lief that it is claim of great value.
 A loafer by the name of Abbott lnsulted & young lady on the street last Sabbath and was very promptly and well threshed by Mir Devine. Shortly afterward he armed himself with a pick handle and made an assault on Charlie Lewis and would have received another good brub- ping, but for the interference of officer Hall who arrested him and lodged him in jail Tuesday he was brought before Jus tice Miller on charge of assault with intent to do bodily harm" The court bound him over in the sum of three hun dred dollars, and not being able to pro, cure bondsmen he was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. He is dangerou: character, aud if the next grand jury doe. not indict him, the citizens should invite him to shake the dust of this county from his shoes.
 Mir. Aaron Mason, late superindent o the Silver King, was made the recipient o a very agreeable surprise last week. I
 was present in the shape of maguifi cent gold stop watch of the Jurgenser pattern, and costing S450. The donor
 of this elegant and costly memento of re gard were the employees of the Silve
 King mine and mill. This fact was re corded in an inscription upon the cas'
 which reads as follows: "Presented t.
 Aaron Mason by the employees of tn
 Silver King mine and mill, January, 10th
 1882" The compliment was well de
 served, for no man ever treated his em
 ployees with greater consideration an,
 kindness than does Mir Mason. He i
 the workingman friend, not in pretence
 but in reality, and never refuses to assis
 deserving member of that class.
 The social dance club gave their initia
 tory ball at the courthouse hall Tuesda
 evening, and it was complete success i
 every particular. The committee of al
 engagements had but one day in which t
 perform their work, but they accomplishe it in manner creditable to themselve and pleasing to all concerned. There wer about twenty couples in attendance an ) they dropped formality and treated on another with 8 cordiality that mado tn
 gatering seem like a grand family reunion
 We never saw more unanimous exhib tion of good nature and friendliness in , ballroom. Each participant seemed tn embodiment of courtesy, kindness an jollity, andnot shadow of discontent brok the reign of happy smiles on the man and pleasant faces. The floor hads bee
 literally waxed and was in splendid COT . dition; the music was excellent, and no ing was lacking that could have been d, sired. The club is to be congratulate upon the success of it's first entertainmer and the next meeting will be awaited a most impatiently. The organization wi be completed next Monday evening, an
 at subsequent meetings there will be ne features introduced in the shape of soci parlor games, archery, etc Our peop B appreciate the value of such an organiz;
 tion as means of destroying the mono ony of the everyday ongoings of this con mon-place world, and have taken hold 5 the matter with the intention of makir
 1t permanent success.
 Acting upon the suggestion of the El TERPRIsE number of gentlemen met , the courthouse Monday evening, and toe preliminary action toward organizing social dance club. T. F. Weedin VI
