The Leap Year Ball.

There Is no town in Arizona probably where there are 80 many pleasant social gatherings during the year as take place m Globe, and it is difficult to say. as among dozen or 80 events, which is the most successful. But in reference to the leap year ball which took place Tn the rink lst Saturday night, we feel safe iu pronouncing it the most enjoy nhe affair that has occurred in Globe in many years, and 1t is due entirely to the energy, sociability aud superior tact of the ladies.
 The attendance was large, and every lady made 1t point to bring part ner, and the impartiahty with which they distributed their attentions was in pleasing contrast to the selfish conduct of the men sometimes witnessed on similar occasiolas. and this is really the secret of the complete success attending the party last Saturday night. Dancing was the order of the evening and con. tinued until jocund day put ont nights candles in the sky. Excellent refresh ments, prepared and served by the ladies, were partaken of with a relish.
 The receipts, paid Tn by the ladies exclusively, amounted to s55, and after dedncting expenses balance of S20 remained, which was generously donated to the cemetery improvement fund.
 It is the unanimous wish of the men who were in attendance to have the affair repeated at an early date, with the understanding, however, that the ladies be relieved of all expense,

Pleased With dlIa County.

w. H. Layton, an old resident oi Yavapai county, was a caller at the SILVER BELT office on Tuesday. About
 fifteen mouths ago he had the misfor. tune to lose his srm by the accidental discharge of n gun which incnpacitated him from mining, and he has since leased his niue at Chaparral
 Mir. Layton, who IS an observant traveller, was impressed with the nat ural resources and evidences of thrift Tn the Tonto basin, northern Gila county. Yavapai county is suffering from an unprecedented scarcity of water, the result of the long continued drouth, which is telling disastrously against both the mining and livestock interests. Mining has been almost sus- pended in consequence, and there are now only three mines of any impor. tance operating iu the county, south of Prescott, viz: The Congress, Crowned King, and United Verde at Jerome. The range is bare of grass and there has been some loss of cattle already along the Verde. The outlook is cer- tainly blue.
 MT. Layton was agreeably surprised by the change in tho appearance of the country and the we'll conditioned cattle after entering Gila county. Along Rye and Tonto creeks he found the rancbers cutting alfalfa and grain for hay and the stockmen gathering cattle. The Clines, Peters and others were preparing for drive of 500 UT more head of cattle to Holtrook, for H. J. Banner, who has purchased several thousand head in Gila county. Fruit suffered severely from late frosts, but the orchards. at Packard's and several other ranches along Tonto creek and

Col. A. O. Crane and John Kasser returned Tuesday from a trip to the Deer Creek coal field. They examined the claims belonging to the Andersons and others and found them to be ex- celleut prospects, and giving promise of permanency and size, although the extent and value of the deposit can only be determined by more extei sive development. The indications are that the veins will increase in size and i'm prove in quality with depth Since the provisions of the hill for the segrega. tion of the coal field were made public, several parties of prosp' ctors have gone into the territory covered by the hill, most of whom are prospecting for the precious metals and copper. It is also reported from another source that fonr men from Geronimo have been jumping claims in the coal field, which is liable to cause trouble.
