NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

There is a dearth of school teach CTS in Arizona, according to the ter ritorfA school commissioner, who states that he daily receives requests from various parts of the territory for school teachers. They are many who would willingly take the posi- tions, but are unable to measure up to the Arizona standard which is considered very high.
 The Calumet and Arizona company blew in the third shelter last week at Douglas. The company is now smelling 900 tons of ore daily, and it is all taken from the mines of the Bonanza circle. The new shelter was supplied with ore from the Lake Superior & Pittsburg and the Pitts burg & Duluth properties, both of these companies being under the :, same management as the Calumet & Arizona. Seventy-five men are em- ployed on the new furnace.
 One of the largest and richest bodies of gold bearing ore ever found in Arizona has been uncovered in the Union mine, Chapparal gulch. The Union does not belong to the Jesse Mines company, but is the in- dividual property of John $. Jones, who has been developing same for some time. It is said in mining cir cles that the ore now exposed in the Union makes the property easily worth half d million dollars. Tie Little Jesse mill has made run on the ore, and bar of gold was brought in a few days ago. The. strike was made on what is known as the, Blair ledge, and the vein was en- countered ina drift which was started from the main tunnel on the Union. This drift has been run through body of ore for 100 feet which ranges from eight to twelve feet in width and which carries values ranging from s2O to s4O gold per ton, and the drift is still going forward in this ore body.-Prescott Courier.
 Last week a bunch of seventy Yaqui Indians were rounded up by Mexican soldiers near Carbo, Sonora. In the party were forty men and thirty women. They were taken to Carbo and from there to Guaymas, for transportation to Yucatan. Be low Carbo two of the leaders were taken from the train and shot. For II has haa1 report of murders committed. though the Indians had been dis agreeably active for a few weeks proceeding the week just ended. On account of rumors that some of the smaller bands had come together and formed few bands larger than the parties heretofore doing damage, there was considerable apprehension reported from some of the smaller town, but none of the settlements in which the scare was felt was mo- tested. There were also an evidently groundless Scare reported to the ef- feet that there was danger of an at tack on Hermosillo.-Oasis
 Some idea of the magnitude of the Llanos de Arc Mining company in which Colonel Randolph and Los Angeles capitalists are interested in Sonora was obtained from Mayor Manning who recently spent consid- erable time in Sonora. The company is putting in a ten-inch pipe line which will be fourteen miles long and it's pumping station will have a ca pacity equal to that of the city waterworks and will pump daily as much water as is consumed in Tue son. The water will. be used in placer mining of which the conces- sion consists entirely. In addition to its large water plant the company is erecting a 110-stamp mill and is spending money freely in preparing for mining on an extensive scale. The property is very rich and big re- turns are expected. Mayor Manning stated that Sonora is filled with Americans. Formerly it was rather the exception to see an American in the Altar district, but now they seem almost as thick as Mexicans.- Citizens.
 The San Francisco mine is to be equipped with large compressor and i've machine drills and hereafter all work will be done with machines. The vein in this property has widen ed out so much that machines can be used to advantage. Superintendent Pickering came up from the property last week and went over 10 Gold Road to take look at the big plant of machinery at that place. He will probably leave for Los Angeles and San Francisco to purchase the equip
