CASA CYANIDE, ARIz.. Jan. 2S, lS9O-
 Notwithstanding the silence of your correspondent for so long in regard to the doings of our town, everything stlIi moves on with the same activity that has been its characteristic for months past. Buildings are still going up and Jim Sans newly improved house is the only vacant one m town al nresent. It is soon to be occupied, salth Dame Rumor, by Lendte of Pinal, who is going to move down his store building and stock of goods from Plnal, and do business here. Many other plans are being made and will doubtless be carried out in regard to business and building by substantial citizens of the place W. c. Smith, it is said, will build an addi- tion ar extension to his store here, six teen feet by fifty, the foundation to oe of stone-york. Charlie Fay IS building . bonse on ssTop Bottom" street which makes the sixth house on that side oI tba street south of the railroad track. James Woods is building up and mak- inp habitable the ancient adobe that fronts the depot, south side of track. Phonie Priceis house just now looks ce- solate. his family having gone for tune to California. They have lost by death their baby girl, remarkably bright and sweet child whom every one loved. Though the light of their home has lied, if viii shine from afar and lead to a home where changes come not. Il bClid- inp vii. soon go up on the corner sold bv Mrs. Fryer to Al. Rlcheson-
 ,John and Chris Loss are back agaln frcn St. Louis after quite an absence, both looking well. Mr. Field of Odeoslt. Iowa. has arrived, and after visit to Phepix has proceeded to Florence to look after his land on the canal. lie ln- tends making further investments, being well pleased with Arizona. There seems to be many strangers in town. Mir. Jar ris of the Monarch mine who went east some little time since, has been confined to his bed three weeks, a result of -la grippe.
 La grippe has been prevalent here, and although mild in some cases, has Tn others, resulting from exposure or iach of cared. proved serious. Geo. Cummings, one of the stage drivers between here and Florence is one of those most recent ly attacked, and was very Ill for tune, but is reported better to-day. Jlm Nli- son is convalescent from an attack
 James Woods, Charlie Wilson and others violently i'll for a short time, rapidly re covered. Little Frank. son or Mrs. M- E. Woods has been very sick with pneu- moria bnt is now around. john Merwyn 1t was thought could not recover but Is now rapidly gaining health. Little Az pie. w. c. Smiths child has tic measles which she contracted in Florence, and Jim O'Niel's little boy has been sick with bronchitis la grippe, although it IS only very lately that any one would acknowi- edge that the famed ia grippe" was with us. We have good physician at hand. Dr. McGuire, who has ROW been here over three years. pr. Sabin IS still in attendance on Judge Walker at the YeAol.
 The mining news is about as usual; work going on and plenty of good ore at the different mines south Of here More new machinery came recently for the Reymert mine, and as for the canal 1t IS forging steadily ahead following up the line of the surveyors flags that extend westward, south of the R. R. track.
 Not as large an attendance is reported  at the school. With an average at
 tendance of less than fifty scholars, 1t was deemed necessary to employ an ad- ditional teacher. and Mr. RObertson's wife was engaged. the salary given them being Sl26 month which for a school of children in .primary grade is pretty good-for the teacher. It remains to be seen whether the school term will be shortened on account of the wages paid, and the children to run wild the greater part of the year. Mrs. R., has gone on 3 visit. The wages should be again raised on account of the arduous duties devol- wing upon Zone teacher. It is fact that by being put back in studies con tinually, at the beginning of each term, that some pupils are not so far advanced in their studies as they were two years ago. Much complaint is being made among those having children whose wish it is to have some progress made.
