Tempe Town Talk.

Holy John Wanamaker and his assistants have attempted to relieve q apressing need by appointing Captain G. B. Scidmore postmaster at this place. It is generally conceded that Capt. ScidmOre will not take occasion to deliver religious lecture to a pat ron of the office, should he or she attempt to buy stamps or envelopes on Sunday.
 Capt. Scidmore is an old soldier and tried veteran. A better selection to fill the office could not have been made, and we congratulate the old hero on his well merited success.
 There is rumor ahoat that some of the sore heads here are making ar rangments to boycott the post office as soon as it is turned over to the new appointee. Weakness, folly and spite could not go farther.
 The dam of the Tempe canal was washed out during the last high water and by reason thereof, the Hayden mill is temporarily idle. A few days will cure the defect, and the hum of the old mill will again carry joy to our | hearts.

Good Move.

At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Florence Chamber of Commerce the subject of loan and building associations came up and was thoroughly discussed. The mat ter was finally referred to the com mittee on ways and means and the chances are now quite favorable for e successful organization of this kind.
 Building and loan associations have been uniformly successful throughout the whole country and, although it sounds somewhat paradoxical, its members rapidly acquire wealth from the small sums they pay into it's treas ury. It is one of the peculiarities of these associations that the borrower as well as the lender of it's moneys, is greatly benefited, and after paying the accrued interest upon his loan for a series of years-usually about eight years-his debt becomes extinguished through the maturity of hieet0ck.
 It is a good investment i4t.the pool man who can pay lev to|Iers eacf month, and it is equally 1Fohfable foi
 en of means, and nothing helps tC sild up town so rapidly ls an asso
 cltion of this kind.

 Prevailing Epidemic.

Words of praise are always accept able, l presume, to the newspaper publishers. Granting this, THE EN- TERPRIsE should be well satisfied with the fattering notices daily read and spoken concerning this journal. A gentleman from Phenix lately said in the presence of your correspondent that THE ENTERPRISE has more news in its columns in one issue than all the Phenix papers had in a week.
 The "enterprising burglar" has been a "burgling" Sometime late on We'd nesday night after the house was clos ed for the night, some active but un- principled scamp, went over the tran som in Harter's saloon and went through the till and helped himself to some of the stock. The amount of poodle secured is not definitely known but it is supposed to be about nine dollars in money and a couple of boxes t, 0f cigars. No arrests have been made.
 The building boom still continues and many improvements are contem- plated. Mr. Fay who is working on the Combination property near the Nekol, has just completed a cottage in the southern part of town.
 George Morse's cottage is completed and is now occupied by NIT. Lohman and family. J. NJ. Woods is repairing the adobe building just south of the depot and making some additions thereto. Al. Richeson and Frank Souva are contemplating the erection of quite large building on the lot recently purchased by Mir. Richeson Chas Bennett has the lumber on the ground for cottage which is being built for him in the northwestern part of town.
 A party of eastern capitalists are or the property inspecting the claims owned by Messrs. Bien, Williams Banner and others. These claims art located in Pima county, about D miles south of Glla Bend near the AjO cop this district is progressing favorably The shelter on the Lake Shore prop erty is being erected as fast as possible The outlook is favorable for a yer, prosperous year for this district.
 The report current here some day ago that John Banner was dead Ina been confirmed. He died at Stewart place on the Gila river and the bod was taken to Tempe for interment The nature of the illness and the cir cumstances attending his death ar not definitely known.

Looking Forward.

Happily there are q few men and women living in NOgales who are ever ready to render assistance in cases of sickness and distress. In fact they quietly seek out cases of want and sickness, and do all in their power to alleviate the sufferings of not only their immediate friends, but the poor and needy as well; and this without hope of reward or the knowledge and recognition of the general public. The Christian religion teaches of a fu- ture life beyond the tomb. If such be the case, then indeed are these chari- table people assured of a seat up toward the front Unfortunately char ity is trait of character that too few the human family possess; but few as they are they are not wholly confined to members of the different church denominations, at least such is the status of the case so far as Nogales is concerned.-Nogales Herald.

A big stack of baled hay back of the pinto house belonging to Judge w. H. Benson and Geo. w. Campbell, took fire Wednesday evening, presum- ably from spontaneous combustion. It contained about 120 tons of hay and when discovered the fire was among the crevices of the interior of the huge stack. Men soon rallied to the scene, some of whom commenced to remove the unburnt bales, while others formed bucket brigade and passed water along a line from the ad- jacent accquia and wells. They work ed hard and well and succeeded in re- moving fully fifty tons of hay, a part of which was somewhat scorched on the outside The closest estimate places the loss at about 70 tons. Messrs Benson and Campbell desire THE ENTERPRISE to convey their grateful thanks to the kind people who assisted in saving so much of heir property from destruction.

The Tumncacori.

A. l.. Peck, superintendent at L. Ephraim's Tumacacori mine in Prom ontorio district, spent a couple of days in town this week and brought a good report from the mine.
 He is now working 9 men in the mine and is taking out large quantities of high grade ore. This mine has been thoroughly and properly developed and in it's present condition miners work to a good advantage.
 Ephraim now has about thirty tons of good ore stored in this city, on the Mexican side and Mir. Peck tells us that there are now about ten tons on the dump at the mine.
 It is, we believe, Mir. Ephraim's in- tention to hold his ore until he gets enough to load train of cars and then go with it to the reduction works. At the rate he is taking out ore it will not take long to get out as much as one locomotive can haul.-Nogales Herald
