A Hot Fire.

A few minutes before ' o'clock last Monday evening fire was discovered by some children in the small frame house in the southwestern corner of the O. K. corral. A general alarm was sounded and in very few minutes a hundred men were at the scene and began vigorously to fight the flames, which had gained considerable head way.
 The house was a low frame structure of five rooms built against the abobe wall inclosing the corral, and was joined on the north by the corral shed. It required quick work and good judg- ment to stop the progress of the flames, which for few minutes threatened to communicate to the large adobe build ing adjoining on the east. Men with axes cut down the shed north of the fire and stopped its progress in that direction, and the eastern end of the burning house was also partially torn down. The bucket brigade did good work, and wet blankets suspended from the roof of the adobe building protected the exposed frame work. Within fifteen minutes after the first alarm, the fire was under control About sixty feet of the corral shed was destroyed, and the total loss of the
 
 owner of the property, W. H. Duryea is estimated at $500.
 The fire started in the room occu pied by Mr. Campbell, miner. at ths corner of the corral, but how it origi mated is not definitely known. He los everything he had in the room, as dit MT. Mckenzie, the adjoining roomer The clothing of John Branaman ant G. 0. Scott, the stage man, were saved from the devouring flames. MT. How att, proprietor of the corral, lost littl except three sacks of barley, whicl were stolen. Some offering is re ported.

Some excitement was occasioned by the reported gold strike near Salt river, below the mouth of Tonto, in Gila county, by MT. Goswick, a resi- dent of Upper Salt River valley. From information gained by Supervisor B. F. Stewart. who arrived from Payson last Sunday, the strike is an important one. A prospect hole had been sunk about six feet on the ledge, and, with four feet of ore in the bottom, showing plenty of free gold. He was told by J. T. Flippen that dollars worth of gold was extracted from piece of ore the size of a goose egg. The ledge lies between slate and granite, and the slate pans well in gold. Several par ties from Globe have gone to the new strike, and next week we hope to give fuller information in regard to it.

Change in the Board Of Supervisors.

A vacancy in the Board of Super visors was caused by the resignation of E. II. Cook, chairman, on Monday, which, although hardly looked for, accustomed no great surprise, as it was generally known that the management of the United Globe Mines required Mir. Cooks undivided attention.
 Supervisors Stewart and Devore and Probate Sudge Mills Van Wagenen met in compliance with law, on Tues day, and upon the petition of the principal business men and taxpaye CTS of Globe, appointed w. w. Brookner Supervisor to fill the vacancy. MT. Brookner is especially well fitted for the office by reason of his fine busi- ness qualifications and long residence in the county, and for the further req son that he is q large taxpayer and favors an economical administration of county affairs.
 Messrs. Stewart and Devore, the other members of the Board, have already been tried and not found wanting. The Board reorganized by electing Mir. BroolSner chairman.

A Bloody Record.

The killing of the Indian chief, Nan-tan-go-tayz, by Deputy Sheriff Voris, on the 5th of last December, has drawn attention to that now ''goodn Indian, and his career as a warrior and implacable enemy of the whites. In the memorable Cibicu affair, August 30, 1881, when in at tempting to arrest Nock-a-del-kleny, a troublesome medicine man, the Cib- leu Indians and Colonel Carr's scouts attacked the command and killed Cap tain Hentig and ten soldiers, Nan-tan- go-tayz was prominent among the murderous band.
 Four days later, on September ?, Nan-tan-go-tayz and six other rene gades appeared at the Middleton ranch, on Cherry creek, and after hay ing received food from Mrs. Middle ton they, without the slightest warn ing, opened fire upon the people at the ranch, killing Henry Moody and George Turner, Jr., and wounding Henry Middleton in the shoulder.
 On the sth of July of the following year Charley Colvig, chief of police at San Carlos, and two Indian police were killed while returning from a weekly ration count on the Upper San Carlos. They were waylaid about a mile below what is known as the point of the mountain, on the freight road, by band of Indians led by Nan u-go-tayz.
 This is a partial history of the bloody career of the red fiend who met retri- button in an attempt to murder Gila county officers, and his summary death is cause for rejoicing.

The preliminary hearing of the In- dian, Ton-i-kai, whose arrest on the charge of killing his squaw was chronicled in last weeks SILVER BELT, was held on Tuesday before Justice of the Peace J. M. Jones. Capt. A. l.. Myer, acting agent at San Carlos, and several Indian witnesses were present. The evidence was mainly circumstan- tlal as to the wounds inflicted-two deep gashes in the skull. The defend ant made disingenous statement, averring that while the squaw sat at the entrance to the tepee, with her back to him, he, in playful mood, flourished hand ax over her head, and that the squaw raised her head and bumped it against the hatchet. After killing the squaw the murderer fled to Cibicu, where he exchanged the hatchet for Winchester, and was returning toward San Carlos when captured by Messrs. Anderson and Odle. The testimony was sufficiently strong to justify Ton-i-kai being held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. The murdered woman was niece of Chief Chil-chu-wa-na who was. present at the hearing.

Geronimo.

Charles T. Martin, who went to Ft Thomas last week to superintend the shipment of freight for the United Globe Mines, returned on Tuesday. He reports much activity at the new town of Geronimo, at the terminus of the railroad on the reservation line. The general offices of the Gila Valley. Globe & Northern Railroad are now located there and the company is erecting warehouse and depot. All the coke and much of the freight for Globe is now forwarded from Geron- imo and it looks as though there would be a general exodus from Ft. Thomas to the new town. The Bulletin says that Alexander Bros. are putting up buildings for store, hotel and saloon, and D. II. Ming will also erect store house near the depot Extensive side tracks are being put in by the railroad company for the accommodation of the large amount of freight which is expected to be handled at that point.
 There is no talk of resuming con- struction work on the railroad and no terms have been agreed upon for the right of way across the reservation. The present administration at San Car los appears to be inimical to the rail road, as cited by the fact that the rail- road company having inadvertently extended their track about foot with in the reservation line, were compelled to take it up, which was certainly a small piece of business on the part of the government official issuing the order.
