1Glnhe Silver Belt.l

Eastern parties are exporting the Golden Wonder mine with a view to its purchase.
 Charles Ruckelshausen is taking out excellent ore from the Silver Era mine, Quartzite Hill. It promises to become a second Fame. which claim it adjoins.
 The Fame company will begin to pack ore from the mine to their mill in Globe, in few days. They have about 2S tons of ore from which they expect handsome returns.
 The U. S. military telegraph line from the summit to the sub-agency will soon be torn down and placed along the new road built by Captain Bullis last fall, much nearer route from San Carlos to the summit.
 Thursday forenoon, just at recess, as several squaws and buck were pass ing the school building, laden with hay, unruly children pushed them and one having knife cut the improvised rope by which the hay was suspended from the head. We have not heard that those children were birched for their reprehensible acts.
 The present month is prolific of welcome news. On the 9th of April the Belt recorded the killing of Fl. Calm, one of the murderers of Sheriff Glenn Reynolds and Vim. A. Holmes, and now it becomes our pleasant duty to announce the violent snuffing out, on the 10th inst, of the light of life of Has-ten-tu-du-jah. another of the ac- tors in that bloody scene. A third one is said to have faded from life through the agency of disease. Five of the number are still in hiding.
 One of the best examples of the wonderful transformation possible in Arizona, through intelligently directed human energy, and the adaptability of natural resources, can be seen in all its glory in the Salt River Valley. The naturally barren lands that have existed since time began in the sleep of fidleness, were awakened but few short years ago by the want of indus try. The disappearing waters from the large streams were diverted from the channel of,quicksand and conveyed through ditches to the fertile lands where semi-tropical fruits now thrive in all their beauty and exuberance. From small beginning at that time the amount of land under cultivation has grown to vast proportions, with lovely homes erected throughout the entire valley. The dark foliage of the grape vine, laden with its luscious fruit, is beautiful sight compared to the mesquite brush that formerly covered the same soil; and the orna- mental trees and neatly trimmed hedges that border the highways, all show a beauty and thrift that cap tivates the senses and delights the eye. The beauty of the valley is something wonderful, and one can scarcely realize that the jack-rabbit and gopher have been robbed of their native homes, so recently, to make a paradise for man. And yet there are hundreds of thousands of acres of this very same land lying idle all over the territory, capable of similar produc- ton, and awaiting the magic touch of capital and little energy. The soil, the climate and the water-three essential elements--exist i'll abundance, and the application of 8 little energy in conveying the latter upon his farm is all that is needed of the husband man to make himself a thrifty and pleasant home. The example of Salt River valley can be successfully imi- tated all over Arizona, until the terri tory becomes a blooming garden Citizen
