very low grade, but grows richer with depth, and there is every reason to be- lieve that good pay-rock will be found as soon as a solid formation is reached. The ledge matter at the bottom ot the present workings is very soft and the mineral is distributed through it in strata. The ledge has remarkable width and with an average of s25 per ton would be a verita- ble bonanza.
 Mr. E. Parmelee has resigned his posi- ton as clerk of the District court, and
 Mir. T. w Mosier has been appointed as his successor. The latter arrived here from Tombstone last week, and is on duty.
 He comes well recommended by the of
 6cials of Cachise county, both as to com
 potency and character. MT. Parmelee,
 we are pleased to know, intends to return
 to Florence in September, perhaps to re-
 main permanently He has conducted
 himself in praisworthy manner here and
 we regret that business interests should
 have called him, even temporarily, to an
 other field He left for the east yester-
 day.
 The cells and other iron work for the
 new county jail have arrived at Casa
 Grande, and Messrs Smith & Watzlav-
 zick have the contract for delivering them
 from the depot to Florence at fifty cents
 per hundred. The combined weight is F ,050 pounds, and the freight from St.
 Louis to Casa Grande was little over
 S7O0 The latter bill of expense was
 charged to Pauley Bros, as it was in
 cluded in their bid The contract for
 erecting the new jail building has been
 awarded to Charles Tillman at S1 ,689, as will be seen by the proceedings of the
 Board, published in another column. He will commence work at once and continue without interruption till his contract shall
 have been completed.
 Grimes & Co.,, of Globe. who offered to
 build the wagon road from Riverside to Pinal, have notified the board of super visors that, owing to a mistake they have not been able to secure the bond re- quired. The beard, upon receipt of this notice, granted an extension of time, al lowing them to file said bond upon any day between now and April 1st This is right and proper, but we fear the gentle
 men will experience considerable difficult ty in securing bondsmen, as their bid is
 too low. Competent judges declare that the road, over the route proposed and ac-
 cording to the terms of the plans and 5 specifications, cannot be constructed at a l less cost than S4,000, whereas the bid oi Grimes 6c Go. is only S1, 800 We hope, ? however, that they may succeed.
 Among the good prospects in the neal
 vicinity of Final, the Silverado and Hec tor, owned by Doran, Adams and Palmer and the Rosalie, by Mrs. Byers, are prom
 inent. The first has large, black spal ? ledge, upon the foot wall of which, in one 7 of the shallow inclines, a rich streak oi ? chloride ore shows. In a shaft shor e distance from it the ore has small per e centage of copper, and here the pay-streal '- widens out to nearly three feet. Int . Eureka, which is much higher on tht f same ledge, has considerable develop e ment The vein is traceable down tn, c hill, and crops out on the mesa hundred '- of feet below. The facilities for working
 are excellent; the abrupt pitch of the hil ,. makes it possible to develop the vein at depth of 200 feet by cutting tunnel 20I
 feet long. The Hector is carbonate t vein pitching easterly, a very slight angle
 and has some excellent ore ill its work ings. The mine is, like the Silverado + accessible, strong and of considerable prospective value.-Globe Silper Belt. + Mir. H. Holburn, who keeps a store 6 e the south Pioneer camp, paid the ENTER e PRISE a brief visit this week and gave u

 in the mine, he says, make equally as goo " showing and that there is enough ore i ~ sight to warrant the building of large It . duction works. The pump recently pu

Developments on the Pionet ny Center and the Great Republic are pr' ed gressing rapidly and with fsttering r ey suits, The camp is attracting consider u- ble attention and bids fair to become Id large and lively one soon. There is a a. abundant supply of good water and fuel tn the camp, and plenty of timber suitab ,s for lumber convenient.
