Republican Primaries.

Primaries for the election of dele gates to the Republican county con- vention were held in the various pre- cincts on Saturday last. The election in Globe was unusually animated, ow- ing to the vigorous contest for the nomination of Sheriff. The rivalry of the oppos ng forces, however, was not permitted to exceed the bounds of de- corum. On Friday George F. Shute, drew, which narrowed the contest down to J. w. Boardman and D. R. Williamson, and the heavy vote boiled attests the earnest work done for each candidate. One hundred and seventy votes were boiled, of which the Will Hanson ticket received los and Board man 6l; one ballot was rejected, the voter desiring, doubtless, to be impar- tial, voted for both tickets, the ballots being folded together. The names of the delegates elected in Globe precinct are: Thos. A. Pascoe, Geo. Lanpher, c. S. VanWagenen, Martin Dunphy, w. II. Duryea, Jas. Ellison, Modesto Borquez, Jr., II. D. Clarke, James H. Pascoe, Chas. Cadotte, w. o. Kellner, Chas. Banker and J. c. Lundy.
 Grapevine precinct elected 8 Shute delegates; Tonto gave Williamson F and Shute E; Payson's three votes are for Boardman; San Carlos, ?, for Will Hanson. Pine and Rye did not hold primaries; Pleasant valley not heard from,

A DIPHTHERIA SCARE.


 On Friday last it was discovered that two of James P. Faull's children were afflicted with diphtheria, and since then the dread disease has made it's appear ance in the families of Andre Maurel and Winthrop House. The announce ment caused consternation in the com munity. On Monday special meeting of the Globe Commercial Club was called to adopt measures against the spread of the d sease, and declaring a quarantine against peddlers and other persons coming from Grahnm county, bringing goods or household effects. and ordering that an authorized officer be stationed beyond the southern limits of town to stop all persons coming from that direction, and turn back all from whom danger was appre- hended.
 Last year Globe suffered visitation of diphtheria which was traced to the Gila valley, where the disease is said to have been epidemic for two years or more; and there appears to be little doubt that we owe the present scourge to the same source, as traders from that section of Graham county have continued to arrive and sell their pro- ducts to families in Globe
 Diphtheria is disease which can only be communicated by contact with infected persons or property, especially clothing, and, therefore, the conclusion reached, that the disease germs were imported is reasonably certain.
 The Kimball brothers and Joseph McRea from Thatcher, were quaran- tined on Tuesday. The Kimballs had already unloaded flour and some house. hold goods, which were allowed to remain after fumigation, and wagons loaded with lumber were admitted. Also subscription of over S20 was raised for the Kimballs.
 While the quarantine is an admitted hardship upon those just arrived, or en route, from Graham county, neverthe- less, the situation is of such gravity, that no halfway measures will suffice, and the vigorous action of the Comreer- cial Club meets with general approval.
 The health committee consists of Dr. T. s. Collins, F. w. Westmeyer, T. A. Pascoe, N. l.. Amster, and Modesto Borquez, Jr. town sanitary officer. Handbills were sent to points in the Gila valley yesterday, giving notice of the action taken.
 x. H. Clawson of Thatcher, called upon us this morning and stated on the authority of Dr. J. N. Porter of Snfford, that there was now no diphiheria in the Gila valley, and had not been case for three months. This. however. IS contradict ed by the statement of man named Aired, who lives in the valley, and who lost child from dipbtheria about q week or ten days ago.
 Whether or not diphtheria now ex- ists in the Gila valley is not material. It has prevailed there and nc efforts to stamp it out, or to prevent its spread, have been made by the authorities of Graham county, while the Board of Su- pervisors of Gila county have been viz liant to prevent any contagious or in fectious diseases getting foothoid here. If our neighbors are careless of their own health, we most certainly will not permit them to endanger ours.

Old Breyfogle traied his way out of
the desert with more rich rock. He
told of a cave in a canyon where he
crawled to find shelter from a cloud
burst, and found the richest rock that
was ever brought out of the gold coun-
try. He showed the rock when he
came out, and started back TO his mine
with mules laden with water and pro-
visions. OF course, he was followed.
His find was too big to be left to one
man, but old Breyfogle knew the
mountains and the men who prospect
among them, and he doubled on his
trail, made false starts, and at last
shook the followers off the scent and
vanished. He never came back. Man,
mules. water barrels, tools, provisions
all disappeared. This was a genera
ton ago, but in that country there are
yet men clambering among the dead
canyons. looking for a cave with a
roof studded with gold. II is the same
story, with few variations, all
through.
The Lost Padre mine is the only one
with radically different legend. That
tale came from the Indians. An old
Piute came over from the Nevada side
! and was rescued from death from
thirst by a prospector, and in his graft
tude offered to bring the white man to
a mine that had been worked by the
Mission fathers a hundred years be-
fore. They started, but as they went
the worth of the service he had re-
ceived seemed less to the Indian and
the service he was rendering seemed
more, and at last he refused TO pro-
coed unless he was paid pony and q
gun. The miner promised, but the In
dian demanded his price in advance,
and they returned TO the edge of civili-
cation, got the pony and the gun and
started again.
The prospector returned with the
usual specimens, but without the Sc
cret. The Indian had left him one
night, and had returned twenty-four
