A Voting Machine.

A system of automatically taking and recording votes at elections has been invented and patented by John w. Rhines of St. Paul. Printed tickets are dispensed with altogether, each
 voter recording his vote by means of machine. The machine consists of a box in which a series of keys are used
 to print numbers upon endless slips of paper running on rollers. The keys run crosswise across the lid of the box, each row representing a candidate, while each key signifies one of the | competing parties. The voter raises a cover over the lid of the box and presses the keys marked with the names of the candidates he votes for and the party to which he belongs, by this means printing numbers upon the slip inside the closed box. He then closes the lid of the box, covering up the keys. Repeating is impossible without de- lection, as the keys stay down until the lid of the box is again raised, when ratchet releases the keys, leaving them ready for use again, at the same time striking a gong. It would be necessary for the authorities to publish the whole plan of the arrangement of the machine, together with the allot- ment of the candidates and parties to the keys, so that sll voters may become acquainted with the arrangement
 The cost is said to be below that oi other vote-recording machines. company has been formed to handle the mahines, and it will be known as the Rhines Ballot System Company

Railroad Ways.

In Kansas City the Union Pacific Company sells a "thousand-mile book" for $25, good over any part of that system. In Denver, for the same book, $50 is charged, and at Cheyenne the price is $35. At Omaha the price is $25, the same as at Kansas City. In consideration of this condition of affairs, it is said, many travelling men and others purchase the thousand-mile book through friends and have them sent to Denver by mail. Tickets can be pur- chased at Kansas City through to San Francisco for less than to Flagstaff di- rect. The Interstate law does not seem to operate to any great extent.-Frisco Signal.

A Grand Copper Property.

A representative of THE ENTERPRISE visited the Lake Shore Copper mines in Casa Grande District, and he places his views of 1t in the following Ian
 guage. "Cochise County has her Bis bee and Copper Queen; Gila County has her Old Dominion, but Pinal Coun- ty can well boast of copper property that is destined to keep lit her shelter fires for years to come. My trip was over level and pleasant road with no interruptions or delays whatsoever
 The Lake Shore is 8 miles from Casa Grande and the Southern Pacific Rail Road, and to express it in the mildest language Is vast, massive ore body from which the ore can be quarried. This property has a large amount of work done on it and in no instance has shaft or drift been run but what large bodies of ore have been encoun- tered. A very elaborate and business like report, taking in every detail and particulars relative to this property, was made a few months ago by a thorough expert and miner. It was a report that did simple justice to a great property and at the same time placed every detail in a tangible business like proposition before those who may be seeking investment. In our haste after the precious metals, the great drama, commercially, that is being played by copper must not be lost sight of. Calumet and Hecla pays their millions i'll tribute; the Old Do minion under the greatest disadvant- ages has proved the life of Gila COun- ty, the Copper Queen of Bisbee is upon career and basis so prosperous that they have raised their workmen's wages from $3 to $3.50 and informed their employees that their money could be drawn upon any day that they needed it and now the mine itseli is building branch Rail Road to con- meet with the Southern Pacific Road This itself is standing manifest to the degree of prosperity which our copper properties will yet advance us That smelter fires will be kept ablaze by the Lake Shore for years to come is a foregone conclusion; that they have not been ablaze before this must be attributed to the modesty and in difference of the owners, Messrs Ait chison & Traut, who have seemed in different whether the outside world were cognizant of this great wealth be ing in their possession. During the veal 1883 $100,0OO cash was asked for thi, property and from every point of in vestigation this should be considered a cheap figure for property carrying such ore bodies and such development! as the Lake Shore Copper property When 1 tell you that there are 1000 tons on the dump and 100000 tons il sight, I but state the plain truth sub iect to the minutest inspection of those who may seem to doubt it"

A Pertinent Inquiry.

The great "Quatro de Julio" is again numbered with the relics of the past. It is to be hoped that the patriotic paisanos and all other good citizens have imbibed booze enough to keep the fire of patriotism alive for while. And that mythical old sinner, San Juan, has also had few more carera del gallo. Now let us see what can be done towards putting stop to this riding through the streets as fast as the poor and worn out horses can go, raising great clouds of dust, and en- dangering the life and limb of any one who may be unlucky enough to be out on the street, and particularly women and children. Besides, a stranger coming to our town, will not be apt to admire any thing of the kind, and simply say 'there are too many COW boys and roughs here for me-" think that if this matter was brought to the notice of our worthy Sheriff, this nuisance will soon be stopped.

The assessment roll for Pinal county for the present year has not yet been footed up, but it is estimated that its total will not vary much from that of last year. There has been a large in- crease in the value of real property and the railroad assessment is consider ably higher, the falling off being prin- cipally in cattle and in one or two mining camps. Cattle men have re- duced their herds by sale and by talk ing them to other parts of the Terri tory, besides which the valuation is $1.50 less per head than that of last year. The gain in other respects is very nearly offset by this large reduc- tion and the total assessment valua- tion will therefore closely approximate that of last year.

One hundred dollars have been pledged for that oc- casion and committee will be selected tomorrow to make full arrangements and collect funds for the grandest demonstration Florence has ever wit messed, the exercises to conclude with a grand baile, with excellent music.
 Thursday was by all odds the warm est day of the season and the ther- mometers indicated a temperature varying from 100 to 105 degrees, ac- cording to location and exposure. The heat was not exceedingly oppressive however, and workmen exposed to the direct rays of the sun did not seem to experience any great amount of dis comfort.
 The watermelons produced about Florence this year are of a quality far superior to those of any previous year, while the quantity grown is simply immense. Generally speaking the farmers procured new seed of the best varieties and the result has been ex- cellent.

Active work has begun on the new line of railroad to run from Fairbank, on the New Mexico and Arizona Rail- road, branch of the Santa Fe, to Bisdee, where the mines of the famous Copper Queen Mining Company are located, The distance will be about forty miles. The road will run through Tombstone mining district, but will not strike the town of Tombstone. It is said that the road will be built by the Copper Queen Mining Company, though prob ably it will be operated by the Santa Fe Company. For the present the road is intended to supply local demand, but the probability is that it will eventually be extended to the rich mining country in Sonora, Mexico, immediately south of Bisbee.

Both men were on horseback. Justice John Miller called a coroner's jury and held an inquest, the result of which devel- oped sufficient grounds for charging Acosto with manslaughter.

Last year the Maricopa X Phenix railroad returned to the assessor a length of 8 miles of that road within the limits of Pinal county, and this year 1t returned 10.79 miles of road. The difference,2.79 miles, was assessed in Maricopa county, and an effort will probably be made by amicable arrangements, to recover the taxes upon the discrepancy from Maricopa county. The amount involved is about $54O, and as there is no question as to the justness of the claim it will probably be met in spirit of fairness and equity.
