Casa Grande Notes.

1DC WCdbllCI IldS OCCu 6O Mdliu bllC past few days that it recalls very forci bly, to mind the mythical story of the Yuma soldier and his blankets. In fact it is so warm that it has almost melted my ambition to write letter this week and make me long for "Greenland's icy mountains" My ther mometer is busted" so can not tell the exact temperature, but it is warm enough. This may not prove an in- teresting fact to Eastern people who contemplate visiting here but to such 1 would say that the heat Is seldom sultry, and is, therefore, endurable. Don't let the heat keep you away.
 Favorable reports continue to ar rive from the mines in this district and all indications point to veri table mining boom in this section of the Territory. Work on the mill site at the Silver Reef is progressing rap idly and will soon be ready for the erection of the mill and smelter. The machinery of the Butte smelter has been taken down and apart and will be taken to the Silver Reef as soon as the necessary teams can be Ob aimed for transporting it. The Silver Reef mine from all accounts will soon be a bonanza to it's lucky owners.
 The machinery for the Golden West mill, taken from the Humboldt mill, is now all on the ground at the Gold en West and it will shortly be placed in position. Boring for water is pro- gressing favorably and with very few slight mishaps.
 The sinking of the shaft for the well at the Lcla Camp (Monarch) will be discontinued in few days and boring operations resumed.
 MT. Chris Johnson and MT. Andrew Donnan have returned from their trip near the Sonora line where Mir. Don nan examined some mines owned by MT. Johnson. His report was very favorable and will undoubtedly cause the mines to be sold to the Philadelphia capitalists who are negotiating for their purchase. MT. Johnson will shortly leave for the East when the arrangements for the transfer of the property will be completed.
 Mir A. Price has disposed of his Sd loon business to MT. Thomas Earle and with his family has departed for California taking up his residence in Los Angeles.
 Several ice cream parties have been held here recently. A careful study has developed the fact that the young ladies of Casa Grande have been gross ly slandered as regards their capacity for ice cream and established the fact that the young men eat the most. It is the fashion for our young men to eat their cream with table spoon from a soup plate. One young man has practically demonstrated his abil- ity to eat three such dishes and then cry for more. The young man has recovered so am spared the pain of writing an obituary notice.
 Last Monday the 20th inst. was the twentieth anniversary of the marriage of Jesse Mayhew and his estimable wife, of the Half Way House, and a few of their friends made the occasion memorable one by giving them a genuine surprise party. Quite party from Casa Grande arrived at the resi- dence early in the morning and after exchange of greetings and congratula tions proceeded to the enjoyment oi the occasion. In the evening the party was augmented by quite dele gatiOn from Florence. Games, sing ing, dancing and social conversation help to pass the time and at ten o'clock all departed wishing MT. and Mrs. Mayhew continued prosperity and happiness and many more years welded enjoyment Among those present from Casa Grande were MT and Mrs. J.
