MrS. OeO. w. CdInpDell neI Wllu singular and very serious accident at her residence, last Saturday night. she had occasion to use a little ann monia and was in the act of taking the cork from pint bottle of the liquid when it popped out with the force of a champagne cork. The fumes went full into her face and were drawn by her breath into her mouth, almost strangling her for time. They left the mouth and throat one large blis- ter, which has fortunately subsided sufficiently now to allow her to par take of food. The mouth and throat were fearfully swollen and made it impossible for her to take any kind of nourishment for several days, except ing of a light liquid character. It was q very narrow escape for the lady and it is matter of rejoicing among her many friends that she is recovering so rapidly. Ammonia expands very easily when heat is applied and it is supposed that the warm weateer had developed strong pressure within the bottle, whose force sent the fumes into the lady's mouth with terrible eff feet.
 Mir. Frank Nernoy reached home last Saturday from an absence of sev- eral months in southern California, and he was glad to get back to the brightest and best land under the sun. He says San Diego is not "booming" like it was last fall, and many who have invested their money in property there would be willing to sell at big sacrifice to get out with little money in their pockets. The colonization schemes in Lower California are even worse for the victims. MT. VernOy will remain in Florence hereafter, and l he says that all who are dissatisfied with this place will get speedily and surely cured by visiting the land of the uncertain boom he has just left.
 The Fourth, the glorious day of the patriot, passed very quietly in Florence the only observance of the occasion being of an private character. The residences and business houses gen erally displayed the national emblems and all the stores and shops closed their doors shortly after noon Alex. Wolven drove his triumphal car through the streets, towards evening, carrying score of girls and misses all dressed in white, with the flag fly ing and a banner bearing the inscrip- ton, "Youth and beauty of Arizona ! Second to None" A horse race or two varied the monotony of the day, and during the evening rockets, roman candles and fireworks generally were displayed.
 Parties wanting fine land for ranch es can do no better than to purchase the relinquishment of Es-kim-in-zin to his claim near Dudleyville, and those of three or four of his followers. They own a section of splendid land that can be had very cheap, no doubt, and water ditches have been construct ed for irrigation. Two or three In dians are taking care of the ranch and doing a little planting, occasionally varying the monotony by stealing a steer from the settlers. There is no better land nor water rights in the county than the property in question. 
 MT. H. Fuller has taken a bond on the Meadow Valley mine four miles northwest of the Mammoth. He has six men at work. The shaft is sixty feet deep at the bottom of which a drift of thirty feet has been run. An other shaft is down thirty feet. Dur ing the last month he has shipped ten tons of ore which has amply paid all expenses. He gets the water from a fine spring three-fourths of mile from the mine. He evidently has a good property.
 The ranchmen on the San Pedro about Dudleyville have been adding to their cultivated land considerably and extending their alfalfa fields They are generally engaged i'll stock raising and all show good degree ot prosperity. There are many fine farms in that settlement.
 The Messrs Brajevich have leaset the Southern Belle mill and will TUT it upon ore from their mine which ad joins the Southern Belle. They have large quantity of good grade of golC ore in sight and will make a good thing by reducing it.
 MT. J. P. Gabriel takes an airing every morning, and strolls about towr with constantly increasing strength He experiences no pain from hi wounds, although they still suppurate and he believes that he will be entirel, recovered within week or two. MT. Boone the stage man and mai contractor on the route from Riversid to Benson, has notified the depart ment that he must abandon his con
 tract unless an increase of pay is al
 lowed. The present price is entirel inadequate for the labor involved. , Road overseer Geo. N. Finch has rt
 gently made some excellent improve ments on the road between Riversid 2 and Dudleyville, and Overseer Jaco | Schneider has also well repaired tn - roads above the latter place.
 l MT. J. M. Ochoa is re-arranging hi
