 Cleveland ground, follows the ledge through it to the Grey Eagle. This tunnel is now in over HOO feet ard has
 been in good ore its entire distance in
 the Grey Eagle claims. The ore body
 varies in width from 6 to 9 feet, and
 the ore varies in value from BIO to S90. Belt.
 The Gold Road Mining and Explora- tion company is now sinking below the 400 and expect to reach the 300 inside of sixty days. On the foo the ore body is one of the largest ever opened in Arizona, considering it's great richness. The mine is q surprise 10 even the of- ficers Of the company, who were not looking for anything like the property is proving itself to be. For more than 1000 feet the outcrop Is showing great values and several shafts are in con temptation on the Gold Line and Billy Bryan locations. At he mill the new crushers are in place and thorough test of finer crushing and amalgama ton will be had at once.

 By telegram received by the l Guardian from Tombstone, we are iu- | formed that Jack Harvey, one Of Saf- ford's saloonists. has been indicted by the United States grand jury upon charge of selling liquor to an Apache Indian some few weeks ago. He was arraigucd and plead not guilty 10 the charge alleged against him. Some months ago, great many Indians from San Carlos and other portions of the Apache reservation were con stautly visiting Stafford, and brought to our merchants a great deal of trade. 1 But it was pt5t long until it was dis covered and reporte1 to the Indian agent. that persons in Stafford were furnishing whiekey to the indians, and the agent put stop to their coming here. The officers Of the law watched 1 those who were giving the Indians the liquor and fnally arrested Jack Har- vey Of the "Bilin' Pot" saloon. Mr. | Harvey has many friends here who hesitate to believe that he is guilty, | and who claim that the officers must be mistaken.
 Last week there occurred at the | silica quarry, near Glance. one of the | most shocking accidents that has ! taken place in d long time. By pre- : mature explosion Of powder one man | was killed outright and six injured ! A very deep hole had been put down |, by machine drill, and l20 sticks Of | powder loaded in it. \ Mexican was ! tampng 6own the monster charge, | W feet into the air. The flying rock and | con -ussion literally crushed and tore | him inwardly He had no marks to | speak of on his person, except great | black and blue discolorations of the ! flesh. Six other men were working | nearby, and they were all injured more | or less seriously. Killfre Foreman, the boss of the quar"ymen, was stand ing within five feet of the hole when | the explosion took place, and he was injured about the eyes and head by the | flying dust and rock. There is no theory given for the explosion except | that hot water had been used ir drill ing, and the powder becoming heated | swelled, and when 1t was being tamped | generated beat enough to cause the pxnlOsion
