 QUIT CATTLE STEALING.
RANGER CAPTAIN RYNNiNG HAS SPENT SIXTEEN DAYS SEE
 ING THEM IN PIMA.

After having spent sixteen days in the saddle, most of which was in the rough mountainous country of west ern Pima county, Captain Tom Ryn- ming of the Arizona Rangers passed through the city yesterday on his way home to Douglas.
 Rynning and a number of his ran gers left Tucson nearly three weeks ago for the purpose of going into lhe isolated districts of Pima county, and arresting Indians who have been kill ing cattle that belong to others as well as running them into Mexico.
 Several arrests were recently made among the Indians, but when given a hearing in Tucson they were turned loose. For this reason. Captain hyn- ming made no further captures, but instead spent his time explaining to the Indians that unless they cease their depredations they must expect to be prosecuted.
 With Rynning when he passed through yesterday was Ranger Ray Thompson, who made the trip after the Indians. They boarded the train yesterday at Huachuca Siding. from which point they started when start ing into the mountains.

GOVERNOR woLFLEY
 IN QUARANTINE.

Former Governor Wolfey, who went to Washington some time ago to look after a matter which is pending be- fore the supreme court of the United States, has been held up by small pox.
 He happened to be stopping at a boarding house where a case of the disease appeared, and thus he was brought under the Jurisdiction of the city health department. A young doc tor came around and vaccinated every person in the block, without regard to age or sex, color or previous condi- ton of servitude. He vaccinated Gov ernor Wolfiey awfully hard; so hard in fact that after it took" it was the opinion of the doctor that he had made mistake and instead of invest ing him of varioloid. he had handed him a regular case of small pox.
 He was so sure of his error that he sequestrated the governor and kept him isolated for nineteen days, when the disease symptoms were reduced to such an extent that the doctor be- came convinced that it was safe to let him go at large and pursue his business in the supreme court.-Re- publican.

The face of the drift is still in ore, and has already penetrated the ore body for a distance of 150 feet.
 At the Junction work of placing the second 1000 gallon triple pump on the 1000 level has been completed, and work of installing the third will be started immediately. The new steel head frame will be completed this week.
 The new hoists for the Oliver and L. S. G P have been shipped and will be duplicates of the hoist now ready for use at the Junction.
 The new pumps for the HOO level at the Briggs are on the way and as soon as they can be installed drifting from the bottom level will be crowded and sinking resumed.

 WORKING NEAR NAC0.
