FiIIUp the Depression.

The alley leading from Commerce
street to Rorer avenue is sadly in need
of improvement. Wherever the sewer
pipes have been laid there is sinking
of the earth, and in consequence there
is q regular gully the whole length OF
the avenue. If the depressions are
not filled up the city is likely to have
q heavy damage suit on its hands on
account of its failure to make this
much needed improvement.

THE SILVER MOUNTAINS.
STORY or A SEARCH FOR 4
 LOST MINE.
It Is Found, hut 1t Cannot be Recov- ered-Awfol Fate of Prospecting Party.

There have always been told strange ly romantic stories of undiscovered mineral wealth in Arizona more dazzl- ingly golden than anything that has ever been found, and the latest, and by no means the least romantic of these is told by the Globe Beh.
 The story goes that about two weeks ago party of Mexicans from Sonora, headed by Pedro Encinas, stopped at Globe on their way north in search of what was described as a mountain of silver. This mountain, it was said, was in the vicinity of Fort Apache, but whether within or without the limits of the White Mountain reservation the searchers were uncertain. Years ago it had been discovered by Mexican, @ relative of Encinas, whose great age and increasing inirmities had prevented his returning for the treasure, and dying descendants. Of these, Peter was fa- miliar with the country and, gatherina about him party of friends and rela. tives for greater strength, told them of the quest and offered to guide them to the silver mountain. Arming them- selves with letters of recommendation from the Governor of Sonora, the party started it's pack train northward, and in due course delivered the letters to Cap- tain W. J. Ellis, acting Indian Agent at San Carlos.
 The adyenturers were favorably re- ceived, and permission was given them to prosecute their search--provided that should the silver mountain be found to lie within the borders of the reserva- tion, exploration should cease at once and the expedition should return.
 l.. K. Thompson of Salt River, who is brother-in-law of Encinas, accOmqan- jed the party from Globe, and after sev- eral days travel they came, at last, to 6 mountain which the guide, from the de- scriptions that had been given him, pro- nounced to be the object of their search. It lay, however, just within the bound- aries of the reservation, and agreeable to their pledge, they turned about to abandon the treasure.
 On their way, out they came upon evil dences tkn!siaihNsA whose presence in the country lseNDnN,l to have been very recent, hSd nut Iaen so scrupulous as they, fprtANttxsHs monuments setting ntot,t as marks for claims and traces of workings and of camps in various places.
 Still on their way out, they encamped near Black River, and here found the traces of frightful tragedy--the work, doubtless, of Indians. Upon the yield ing earth were the impressions of the bodies of several campers who had gone to sleep there in fancied security. Cook ing utensils were scattered all about, battered as if to purpOsely destroy their usefulness, and there were found also Q pick, a shovel, three cartridge belts and some tattered remnants of clothing. Close down by the bed of the river were the dead embers of great fire, and in the ashes there were partially burned human bones, a sack of corn and the chesrsa ryRlsnants of three saddles. ssxNsyWas a canteen, partially filled with water that was fresh.
 This was all that was left of party that had evidently found the silver mountain within very recent period.
