Sinking is being energetically car ried on in the shaft of the Rattling Boy aud will be continued to a depth of 250 feet if ore is not encountered. after which drifting will commence both wajs on the ledge. This mine adjoins the Siher Plume on the south, the Silver Flume adjoining the Emerald. For several months past the Grand Central company have worked the Siher Plume through the Emerald, taking out a large quantity of good ore froaa the lower leels. It is the intention of the Rattling Boy company to eiuk as far as their facili ties will admit, when, if the indica tions warrant, they will continue on to the water Ieel. The atmosphere yesterday was hazy and dull looking all day and contin ue 1 throughout the night. The tem perature has been the same for several days. A few clouds were visible at in tervals yesterday, but soon disap peared. The air is heavily laden with electricity and gives a sense of stillness next preceding a severe agitation of nature. The opinion is prevalent of an approaching calamity either a dis astrous storm or a severe shock of earthquake. The setting sun last evening appeared of a deep red color and was observed by many people until he disappeared behind the moun tains. All nature seems in a state of suspense. There is a city ordinance prohibiting the burning of anything on the streets that from now'on will be strictly en forced. It is extremely dangerous to bum anything in the streets, as sparks are liable to ignite the buildings, how ever carefully they are guarded, and a conflagration in the business portion of the city would be disastrous in the extreme. Many complaints have been made and the city officers are deter mined to prohibit the practice. Waste aad garbage can be put into something prepared for that purpose and hauled outside the city limits, where it can be destroyed if necessary. Mr. Lawler, of the Hillside mine, took yesterday's train for Garland's, in Big Chino valley, to ship 24 tons of second, class ore, which is expected to yield $200 in silver to the ton. He ships his ore to the Union Public Ore Company, of Denver. A recent ship ment netted him f 341 per ton. Prof. Blake visited the Hillside a few days ago and is, we hear, enamored with what he saw in the Hillside and Eu reka copper mines. It is said that there is in sight in the Hillside two and a half million dollars worth of ore. Prescott Courier. R. K. Wilson was brought from Ben son last Tuesday by Constable Ben James on a charge of embezzling money belonging to Joe Hafner, for merly of Benson but now residing in Fairbank.

Zabriskie, in a letter to the Tucson Star, thus discourses on pulque : Pulque is the National drink of the Mexicans. As is generally known it is a fermented juice from the maguey plant. Eterybody loves it. All the people drink it, and the children cry for it (not like Castoria, but literally). The amount consumed is immense. While at Apizaco on the Vera Cruz it. R. a short time since, the Superintend ent informed me that the freight on pulque from that point alone to Mex ico, averaged ocr $1,100 daily. I recently visited a pulque farm near this city to observe the process of its manufacture. As soon as the plant is supposed to be fully mature, a cir cular incision is made at the bate of the plant where the branches all sprout. The piece cut is then rait-ed and there is a cavity like a large bowl filled with a liquid resembling lemon juice. This is called "agua miel" and it is delicious when sucked through a straw in the cool of the morning. This liquid is extracted with a Hyphon and placed in a large vat or tub where it is allowed to ferment when it be comes pulque. The process is simple aud is going on all the time. Pulque must be used fresh, and it comes in fresh every day. 1 do not think I would ever lecome a pronounced pul que drinker,. Its appearance as pul que is not inviting, and its odor is ex ceedingly loud (so to speak). When poured into a glass it resembles butter milk, that has lecn a little soiled. When you drink it down quickly (which you had better do the first time if you wish to drink it at all) it has a taste of vinegar and water. After it is down, then comes the "grand finale" taste. The "ultimo adioe" a sort of farewell gastric climax, whose staying qualities are immense, and which "sticketh to you closer titan a brother." This last saory im pression is a compound flavor of rose water, coal oil and tar. You will remember that you have drunk pulque for some time. Your first night's dreams will be of pulque. I11 the exuberance of your somnolent fancy, you will imagine that oceans of pulque are pouring down .Popocatepetl in stupendous acequtas, while your entire physical existence has been merged into one gigantic mouth for the reception of this fragrant beverage. But don't let us be too severe on pulque. It has its virtues like every thing else. Pulque is a wonderful nervine. No disease of the liver or kidneys can exist among the devotees of pulque. Blight's and kindred dis eases are unknown among the bibul ous pulqueites. This is an argument of a very appealing character in be half of the national drink. This is the judgment of physicians and others of large experience. I might take pulque as a medicine, but as a bever age I prefer something less odoriferous and more palatable. Very few venomous reptiles hae been seen in this vicinity this season, notwithstanding that every tenderfoot expects to see one behind every bush. About the only venomous reptiles in this Territory, that are at all numer ous are kept in bottles, the bite of which sometimes have a very curious effect and are liable to make the vic tim fall in love with his mother-in- law.

Deighan fell dead from apoplexy in the office of the late Tribune. He came originally from Brazil, Indiana, and in that State had been a member of the Legislature. At one time he owned and published a prosperous newspaper in Indianapolis. Coming west six or wjen years ago his fortunes led hint to California, New Mexico and Arizona. His exten sive information and intellectual abil ity commanded the respect of all who knew him intimately. He was buried under the auspices of Phenix Typo graphical Union No. 237, a large del egation from which accompanied the remains to their last resting place. Rev. Norton officiated and undertaker Bacon took charge of the interment. Deceased was about 42 years of age. His friends noticed a singular coin cidence as the remains lay waiting for burial. Cher his breast and folded hands was placed an old proof sheet the title of which read, "Caught at Last," and whose concluding word was "reputation." Phenix Herald. Miss Gee Toy, a daughter of the Flowery Kingdom, but not a descend ant of the goddess Diana, was ar rested yesterday for omitting to con tribute to the exchequer of the city. This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, she will make her defense lefore Police Judge Hawke, during which time His Honor will probably need the services of eleven or nine interpreters and a good sized chunk of ice. The almond-eyed damsel has heretofore been a resident of Third street.

Thus far, south ern Arizona has carried away the principal appointments, and the mar shalsbip should come to northern Ari zona, Mr. Beach being the choice of Republicans. Prescott Journal-Miner. ... A cloud burst occuned a few days since on the divide between the head of Ash creek and Cherry creek, the waters being divided between the two streams, both of which were higher than ever before known. Had the volume of water not been divided, and had all of it entered either stream, it would have caused great destruction of property, and probably loss of life. As it was, considerable damage was done. Prescott Journal-Miner. New river potatoes at Sydow & Kieke's. 23 Buy a Louisiana lottery ticket at Jos. Lippert's barber shop. tf POWDER Alwolu rj Pur.

"Do your duty," were tho words of Lord Wellington to his soldiers just before the battle of Waterloo and his tory tells us how well they obeyed. The same advice might properly be git en to every living man at this time. There are many men who would do their whole duty in time of war or great need, but when there is no such great occasion, neglect their plain simple duties to their God, their fam ilies and themsehes. It is not for want of honor nor because they do not love their families, but from pure neglect; as an instance, statistics com piled by the national authorities show that moro deaths result from bowel complaints than any other one cause, except consumption, yet not moro than one family in six are provided . with medicines that will relieve or cure the diseases. It is the duty of eery man to protect their families, and they are certainly at least, guilty of criminal carelessness if they neglect to do so. The best remedy there is for the purpose only costs but 25 cents. The article we refer to is Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.
