Redewill wiu remain here several days, and those VI pnting pianos or musical instruments of any kind would do well to patronize him. He has sold more than thirty pianos in Globe, giving satisfaction in every instance.
 Mir. Redewill has done business in Arizona for twenty years and estab, lished an enviable reputation. His prices are lower than those of any other dealer, as he buys in carload lots and pays cash. His terms are very reasonable and his guarahtee goes with every instrument sold.

We understand that s. J. Holsinger, of Tucson, special agent of the land of. foe. who was here during the past week, IS disposed to hold the Old Do- ininion Copper Mining & Smelling company responsible for cutting the mesquite wood shipped to them from Graham county. The Old Dominion Go. must have had very long han dled axe, to have cut wood in the Gila valley. The fact is the copper con- pany simply contracted with parties in Graham county for fuel wood and it is an extreme construction of the law to allege that the Old Dominion company is in any way responsible.
