The very unsatisfactory mail service between Casa Grande and Globe during the past two months has demonstrated the necessity for a change of route for carrying the daily mail to and from Globe, The road over Pinal mountain has been in a wretched state ever since the rainy season set Tn and between Casa Grande and Florence 1t IS even worse. On the other hand mail service between Globe and Camp Thomas and south to Wilcox, has been regularly maintained, with the exception of one day when the mail failed to reach Globe. That is the most natural and best route for a daily mail to and from Globe, and by increas- ing the service to seven trips week, the time could be materially shortened, so that mails would reach Globe ten or twelve hours earlier than at present.
 Another of the Indian convicts who made their escape near Riverside. after killing Sheriff Reynolds and deputy Holmes, Is in custody-Tonto B 60 who surrendered to the authorities at San Carlos on Thursday. He was convicted of killing a scout and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment in the Yuma prison. He claims not to have had hand in the murder of the officers, but was riding in the coach when they were Overpowered and murdered by other convicts. Kid is now the only one of the convicts at large, and the military are making 1t lively for him. The sheriff of Pinal county has been wired to come after the prisoner.
 The trial of working medium and low grade ores in the Nugget mill will be watched with considerable interest. In case 40 and 50 ounce ore can be worked with profit, 1t will give an impetus to sil- yer mining in this district as there are considerable quantities of such ore within easy packing distance of the mill In anticipation of the success of the eXperi- ment miners have purchased the dumps of several mines at and around QuartZite and Richmond Basin, which they propose having worked.
 J. l.. T. Walters, sub-contractor on the mail routes to Florence and Fort Thomas, has been in Globe for the past two weeks, doing his utmost to improve the service between Globe and Florence. which has been badly demoralized by the frequent and heavy rains, and high water in the Glia at Riverside. The road in placs over Pinal mountain Is almost obliterat- ed, and the carriers find 1t next to impos- sible to make schedule time. The many detentions are annoying to the people of Globe. but seem to be unavoidable.
 Various localities do considerable brag- ging over the produchveness of Arizona sol, and not to be outdone we mention the fact that Globe productions are not excelled. and cite the fact that Andrew Morel has grown wagon loads of melons, of mammoth proportions; Ill some ln- stances weighing from 75 to 85 pounds. His receipts this year from melons alone will exceed $500.
 MT A. J. Hudson, the well known stockman of Ash Creek, Arizona, reports that mountain lions have become so num- erous in that section that unless some means of relief is soon obtained from their depredations, they will make 1t almost lml lossible for stockmep to continue ln business i'll that region. Young colts are the special prey of tue lions, and the loss in this direction alone during the last year amounts to a very heavy sum.
