 The Rescue Silver Mining Company will make shipment of carload (20,OO0 pounds) of ore to Denver in a few days, and expect to make a second shipment before the close of the month. A. l.. Walker, engineer in charge, informs us that the mine is looking well. A force of 16 men is employed under the direction of Lawrence Lynch, foreman. A good board ing house has been started by A. Abott. The Rescue furnishes an example of what might be done, under competent manage ment, with other silver claims, now idle, in Globe district It is only few months since work was begun on the Rescue, and it speaks well for the mine and manage ment, that the company is enabled to commence the shipment of ore so soon, and with prospects favorable that the Res cue will hereafter be 8 steady producer.
 s Tidwell reports to us that seventeen head of his cattle were attacked by strange disease, from which seveu-two COWS and five calves-died. He describes the symptoms as resembling poisoning, although all were not afflicted exactly alike. Five died with convulsive rigors. within few minutes after being dis covered. The other two lived three days, moping, and gradually growing weaker
  the latter, and those which recovered, was constant desire to drink without seemingly being able to. They would stand for an hour or more over water. with heads down, but not drinking. Ten head which exhibited the early symp- ] toms recovered, which MT. Tidwell at ! tributes to the following dose administer 1 ed to each; coal oil, lard, salt; E of tea l cup of each He is at loss to account for the strange malady, but it is probably caused by eating some poisoning weed. MT. and Mrs. Charles Schulze have met with sad bereavement in the death Of their eldest daughter Augusta M Schulze l who had reached her 18th year, an age when to most of us life looks the bright l est. The young lady's sickness dates ] from last winter when she was attacked | by la grippe and which merged into con ! sumption, since which time her decline l has been gradual, Miss Schulze was possessed of an amiable and retiring disposition, and cheerful under affiiction. | The funeral occurred Thursday afternoon l from the M. E. Church. Young lady and gentlemen friends of the deceased acted as pail bearers, and many sorrowlng | friends followed the remains to the ce- metery to witness the last tributes paid to the dead
 The Old Dominion Copper Company 1 shut down mine and smelter on Tuesday, owing to the exhaustion of the coke sup l ply Bins and chutes are full of ore and no work can be done to advantage in the mine until smelting is resumed. Sixty seven coke wagons. some of the Buffalo, released by the subsistence of the Gila river, arrived this week, but the Old Dominion will not resume until other %vryn flIr naces consume 100000 pounds of coke a month, and to supply them teams must come in without interruption.
 Wm. Lannuis and Harry Bowen, lessees on the Centralia, are packing ore to the Centennial mill for reduction. They have about 15 tons of ore averaging 75 ounces or more in silver, and mined a comparatively short time and with a small expenditure of labor. MT. Lannuis expresses the opinion that the Centralia is one of the best silver claims in Globe district, and that it would supply ore enough to keep a small mill in constant operation.
 A. R. Lender, the moving spirit of the Quartet Mining Company, was in town on Tuesday, and gave an encouraging re port of their operations. They are work ing with six men in the Loco mine and | up." A trial run of this ore through the nugget mill gave satisfactory results. Considerable quantities of custom ore are being delivered at the mill and stamps will soon be dropping.
 Four or five head of dead cattle were discovered last Saturday on the road be- tween Globe and Gilson's and 1t was re- ported they had been shot. However, MT. Gilson who examined them found no wounds and is of the opinion that they died of some disease.
 Four men have been working on the road near Kane Springs for month, but repeated floods heve washed it out as fast as repaired.

Ruckel- shausen and James Graham have taken out some good ore from the Silver Era, . which they will have worked at the Mug get mill.
