 Frank M. Mills met a violent death at the Flippen ranch. lower Tonto, last Thursday night shortly after 8 o'clock. He was returning from the adjoining ranch of George w.
 Wright. and it is supposed was riding at full gallcp when his horse ran against gate which young Mills supposedWas open. The force of the compact tore the gate from it's hinges, and Mills is supposed to have been unseated and dragged as the horse lurched forward. The horse fell twenty seven feet inside the gate, with Mills under him. He may have been killed before the fall, but at any rate, death was sudden Mills neck was broken and he was badly crushed. His body was found the next morning at daybreak.-Silver Belt

THE COLD CLIFF.

Among the improvements contem- plated by the Gold Cliff company at Pelarce, says the Prospector, is the erection of a cyanide plant to work some of the ores. The proposition has been considered by the company and orders placed fer the necessary machinery.
 The capacity of the plant will be ten tons daily. The, machinery to be employed will be crusher and rolls. with engine and boilers of sufficient horse power to handle increased ca pacity which will be added ito its suc- cessful working. Lumher and the large tanks will be shipped from here, while the machinery will be hauled from Cochise station upon its arrival. The plant will be in operation within a month
 The introduction of this modern system of working ores, and the char acter of the ore to be treated, being easily worked, gives every encour- agement of profitable returns. This company has consistently and syste- matically carried cin it's work, and it's development now Is an illustration of what practical and energetic work can accomplish in mining.

 The most noticeable feature of the tr1p-to newspaper man-was the popularity of the Pick and Drill. Of all those I met on the trip only two but were loud in the praises of the paper-and one of these it was dis covered had been unable to get his property written up in glowing terms, hence his pique. I was frequently told, and from what I saw am con- Vinced that the Pick and Drill is sought after and read by more people from Joe Mayors to Lynx creek than all other territorial papers.
 Throughout the entire section peo- pie from town are piled with ques- tfons regarding the new railroad, and at Mayors preparations are being made for building a modern city. Joe has already under way large hotel, and the location of a sme1ter is be- in discussed with an earnestness that admits of no failure The onyx mines are now working fifteen men. Up the Big Bug is the Providence Mining company, operating a ten stamp mill, commonly spoken of as the Annie, though the principle shaft and main works of the company are on the claims adjoining the Annie.
