] Those who heard Miss Holster last
 night at the Methodist church, were
 we'll pleased. Miss Holster is refin-
 ed Christian woman, and those who
 did not hear her certainly missed
 something good. She will speak to
 the children at the Congregational
 church this, Friday afternoon, at 3
 o'clock, also at the free mission on
 Montezuma street at o'clock in the
 evening.

 Reports from the Agua Fria valley are to the effect that the bridge across the Agua river at Dewey is in very dangerous condition. It is dangerous to cross with teams and it is also in danger of being washed out entirely with the next heavy rain which comes. From $50 to S75 expended upon it now would probably save several hundred dollars later, if bridge is to be maintained there, as this structure is almost certain to go out with the next rain.
 The Pfau mining camp has grown to such proportions that Mir. Pfau has circulated a petition to have school established there. There are from eighteen to twenty boys and girls of school age now in the camp. MT. Pfau has also taken steps to have postotfice established there. The mail for the camp amounts to from I50 to 200 pounds per day and it has to be packed in on mule or horse. As the camp will be permanent one there is no reason why a postoffice should not be established there at once.
 Frank Lee, an American about forty ! years of age, was accidentally killed ] near Coronado Sunday last, while in the employ of the Arizona and New Mexico Railway company, says the Clifton Copper Era. It seems that blast had been put off in some con glomerate along the road bed, and all of the men had gone to what was con- sidered a safe distance. Lee, in com pany with another American, was al- most three hundred yards from the blast when it exploded. Lees com panion saw some rocks coming toward them and took shelter by retreating under the edge of the hIll and advised Lee to do the same, but he replied ttat he was perfectly safe, but a sec ond later started to run forward when a gravel about the size of hens egg struck him ip the back of the head, smashing the skull and causing instant 1eath.
