 were horribly slashed by its frantic efforts to get loose. The boy managed at last to free himself and walk ito neighboring house, from which place he was removed to his home. He suf- fered good deal and it will be some time before he fully reoovers. The animal had to be shot, as the tendons of the fore legs were completely sey- cred.
 Jeff Florida, a man who has been living in a tent in the Cartwright dis trict, was arrested by Sheriff Orme and John Slankard yesterday on a charge of insanity. People living in that neighborhood feared that he was a dangerous character to be at large and swore out a complaint for his ar rest. The man has many vagaries, among them being the hallucination that he could reach the other world by means of ladder and he frequently remarked that he was going to try the experiment Another of his fancies was to manufacture coins of brass. lead and iron, which he asserted were better money than that coined by the government. The only difference, he said, was that the coin he made did not have the proper ring. He had an aversion to a neighbor and frequently threatened that he intended to chop the neighbor in twain with an axe, and would likewise dispose of his family and would complete the job by burn ing them all up in their house. For fear that the craZed man would carry out the threat it was deemed advisable to have him placed in the asylum The probate judge ordered his commit ment to that institution.
 A prospector who does not wish his name to be made known for the pres ent yesterday approached a representa- tive of The Republican and in a mys- terious manner led him around a cor ner. After carefully looking around to see bhat he was not observed he drew from the recesses of his coat several specimens of gold ore that were fairly scanned with the yellow metal. The specimens, he said, would run several thousand dollars per ton He claimed to have discovered a lead six inches wide which Is of the same kind of rock and just as rich. He said that when he discovered the lead, on the surface it showed just a faint color of gold, but at depth of two feet the rock was fairly ihoneycombed with wire gold. He took several samples and after carefully covering the hole returned to this city. To an inquiry as to the location of the claim he would give no definite answer except to say that it was located within radius of thirty miles of Phoenix. He will re- turn tomorrow with wagon and a few days provisions and will sack, considerable of the ore. He seriously asserts that if the rock holds out he will be independently wealthy in short time
