 GOOD WELL.
 Messrs. Clemming & Cuff the con tractors for boring the well on Court House square completed the work Tuesday, Nov. 18th, and have an abundant and inexhaustable supply Of soft, pure water.
 The first twenty feet was through powders; then through ten feet Of coarse sand and fine gravel; then thirty feet of quicksand and after pass ing that the stratum was sand and fine gravel, and when they stopped the drill had entered coarse gravel.
 The drill passed through three diff ferent strata, furnishing streams of abundant water, with dry strata be- tween, and the stopped at then fourth stratum carrying water.
 The total depth of tubing is S3t feet and the water is standing within 20 feet of the surface, there being 634 feet of water at the hour of suspending operations. It is to be hoped the sup ply of water will be free of any aka line admixture. It is as soft as rain water.
 After the pump is in operation and the water exhausted from the pipe and the dirt and impurities are drawn out, we will know exactly the quality of the fluid.
 This well is another credit mark for the present Board of Supervisors. They don't tackle as many schemes as some of the previous country dads did, but they usually carry to success ful completion what they do under take, and the county derives substan- tial benefit from their labors.
 INDIANS AWAITING TRIAL.

Two of them are charged with murdering another In dian, one with horse stealing, and the other one with attempt to murder The crimes with which they are charg ed were committed some time ago and the Indians have been confined al Globe and Tucson, through mistake as to the exact location of the place where the crimes were committed anC under the old law which made In dians answerable to the U. s. govern ment for felonies instead of to th' counties in which they were commit ted.
