 Mill was Formerly
 Located.

The famous Silver King mine is again active and under conditions that indicate that the property has again entered into a long season of prosper ity. The new body of ore found on the 200 foot level has proved much larger than first thought and is of the rich ness that made the King renowned throughout the continent. The twenty stamp mill has been moved from Pinal to the mine and set up next the work ings. The old shaft is not to be used in the future, being somewhat incon- venient, and a new shaft is being sunk to tap the ore body, farther up the hill.
 There is an abundance of water at hand. The old workings were in places nearly a thousand feet deep. Thsxhav filled up with water to with in adistance of 200 feet of the surface and the draft that has been made for the necessities of ten stamp mill has not appreciably affected the water level No apprehensions are felt re- garding any possibility of a cave-in, as the water recedes and the prospect is that as soon as the new shaft is com plete and the mill running at its fullest capacity that the glories of the old mine will be revived. Word has been received from the management at San Francisco to hold on to every piece of machinery. The old mine was su- perbly fitted with all the accessories of skillfuI mining, and long it has been a place where other mines would secure mill and mine fittings in almost unlim- ited quantity.
 The town of King is again building stood on the hillside tenantless, are be- ing reftted On the contrary, Pinal. or Picket Post, as ii, is known to all old timers, is a deserted village and most of the places where houses were once are now marked only by crumb- ling heaps of adobe. The church has been taken to Goldfield and there transformed into saloon and most of the lumber has been carted away to other camps Now the mill, that once was the pride of the camp, has been taken away and the glory of the camp has forever departed. It once had a population of 1,500, with a newspaper, dozen saloons and a half dozen large business houses. Now there is but a single family resident in the townsite and where lots were once worth thou sands of dollars, the whole townsite now is valueless.
 Lately something of peculiar inter est developed regarding the demolition of the old buildings at Pina1 In the palmy days a building was created mainly of cut stone, of an excellent quality, found in the near neighbor- hood. The camp went down, the roof was taken from the stone building as from the others and the build ind dismantled. A few months ago resodent of Tempe hap pened to be in Pinal He was on the point of erecting a handsome resi- dence in Tempe and saw at once the chance of securing cheap and good stone for his walls. The distance was long, forty miles, but he figured he could make money by the transaction So he had the buildings walls torn down and far the greater portion re- moved to Tempe, there to be placed anew in position.
 The joke, if it be a joke, comes in the fact that the woman who owned CHo puuiuluS duu JUL dI I ludl udS uedIu of the transfer, made without her sanction or knowledge, and has com manded that the Tempe man either put the stone back in the building at Pinal as he found it, pay her large price for the stone or go to jail for larceny. The Tempeite is figuring up the matter and is in sore distress.
