 Prescott Courier.)
 The man now confined in the coun- | ty iail, charged with the burglary of Bray's store, is said to be the most | horribly confirmed victim to the opi- um habit in the territory. Six hours after his incarceration, so great was his craving for the drug, and so neces- sary to his very existence that, like "She," in the last dramatic act of Rid CT Haggard's famous book. he appear ed to grow old and shrivel up before the very eyes of his custodians, who say that actually, in that short time, he appeared ten years older than when jailed. To save his life the drug is be- ing furnished to this connecting link between death and life-once man, but now a horrible, slowly pershing example of the use Of the deadly drug.
 c. s. Gage, from the Hassayampa, called on the Courier yesterday. MT. Gage is interested in the Rapid Transit mine and three adjacent claims. Mix ed ore from all these claims recently worked at the Howard mill yielded $0S per ton, while ore from the Rapid Transit itself has yielded from $50 to $75 during the entire summer past. Miners in that district are sanguine over the mining outlook. Messrs. By land and Carlisle are building two commodious cabins on their Carlisle mine These claims are near the cele- brated Howard property. Miners in this district have the unusual advant age when there is too much water to operate in quartz, of going right down into the gulches and taking good pay from the rich placers which only need water to make them up paying quan- titles of the precious yellow metal, Yesterdays record showed a deed from Luke Mcfarland to John Nc Dermott for one-half interest in the Nigger mining claim, and from Peter | to John McDermott for same interest in same mine, the first transfer being made in 1885 and the latter i'll 1889. Also a deed from c. T. Kelly and Geo. w. Sines to D. J. Sullivan for one third interest in the Gold Leaf mine, Hassayampa district, and 2 transfer of the same property from c. Kent to George Sines. A large number oi mining locations are being recorded.
