Dennis Murphy met with peculiar accident on Wednesday last, and that it did not result more seriously Is certainly fortunate. He was returning, horseback, from San Carlos, and when near the Red man slaughter house met two Mexican riders who separated and Dennis passed between them. One of the Mexicans car ried a scythe blade, wrapped in gunny sack, and strapped on the saddle under his left leg, after the fashion of carbine in scabbard. The point of the blade caught Dennis on the inside of the left thigh just above the knee cap, and cut q deep gash, penetrating to the bone, across the front of the limb, extending diagonally upward and some four inches Tn length. Dennis quickly tied a rope around the limb. above the wound to stop the hemorrhage, and hurried on to Globe, and Dr. Huff sewed up the wound, which require nine stitches. The wound IS doing nicely and Dennis will be about again in q few days.
 In our last issue we made mention of the Kids shooting another Indian Since then we have learned the particulars at tending the circumstances. The Kid ac- cldentally met his victim and demanded his horse, and then his moccasins and being refused both. the Kid fired the shot which resulted fatally, and was about to shoot again, but contentAd himself by taking the mans moccasins. The Kid expressed the determination to kill ''every one of you whom l meet. | am going to stay right here in your country" This last act of the Kid will probably result in his being killed The band to which the deceased belonged is now determined to hunt the Kid to the death and that they will succeed in ridding the world of this outlaw admits of scarcely q doubt
 An important event that marks de cided advance in the copper mining in dustry of Globe district was the blowing in the Buffalo Copper Mining Company's furnace on Tuesday morning. Conf dence was felt that successful beginning would be made. as Dr Alex Trippei. superintendent, had given careful atten- ton to the final arrangements. in their minutest detail, ably assisted by E. H. Cook; and the result equals the most sanguine expectations The hitches which almost always occur in the starting of new plant and in smelting untried | was in this instance noticeably absent The production of copper bars has thus far been very satisfactory and copper is now going forward to Wilcox.
 Registration closed Tuesday night with S23 names on the Great Register of Gila 1 county, as against 490 names in 1888. an increase in two years of 333. half of which probably belong to Globe pre- cinct and three-fourths of the remaining to the northern portion ofGila county ao- quired from Yavapai. About seven eights of the voters in the new part of the county are known to be democrats, but but the political complexion of Globe precinct is a conundrum which can only be solved by the election. There has al ways been large independent vote here so that neither party could, heretofore count with any certainty upon a majority and this year the element of uncertainty IS as prominently present as ever, to keeE the candidate on the anxious seat.
 The mining outlook for Globe has i'm proved considerably in the past week
 The rain storm was of short duration and the wind which followed, quickly dried out the roads and they are now 1T splendid condition. Teams from Will
 COX are arriving on time and the cok, supply here will soon be largely aug
 mented. With fair weather copper min
 ing will boom the coming winter
 During the absence of Superintendent Walker the Old Dominion smelter an, mine will be in charge of J. II. Canaval
 and N. $. Berray. than whom there ar no more capable men anywhere, Tn affairs of the company here are prosper ing, and the smelter is turning out it
 usual quota of copper bars, about l tons day.
 A report is current of a strike of silve in the Rescue mine. It is believed to b of some importance, although we are LII able to learn anything definite in regar to it.
