The team was stopped after running a few blocks when it was discovered that the owner was seriously injured. Mr. Bobert.-on wu. conveyed to the residence of Mayor Thomas and Dr. Willis summoned, who discovered that the injured man had two ribs broken and was other wise seriously bruised. It seems that while delivering milk the team had started and Mr Kobertson jumped in front of it to stop it but missed his hold and ' ramp!eJ under the feel of the horses, the wagon passing over his body. Mr. Bobertson has had several runaways previous to this one but baa heretofore escaped injury. He is now resting easy, but it will be several weeks before he will be able to be around again.

Cox, Fowler, Peck and Smith were ap pointed, and ufter a reces- of fifteen minute.- -tibmitted the following re-o-lutions, which were utiauimously adopted by the meeting: Whereas, The 1.1th legi-lntive as sembly of Arizona did, on the 21-t day of March, l.Vi'.i, pass an act en titled, "An act to provide for the holding of a convention for the jiur !se of framing a state constitution to be submitted to the people for their approval or rejection"; and Whero.i-, It wa- in .-aid act made the duty of the Governor of thi- Ter ritory to is-ue a proclamation calling a -pecial election for delegate- to a constitutional convention ; and Wherea-, Said proclamation ha not been i-siied and the time ha-elap-ed for issuing the stiine, and Wherea-, The statute makes it the duty of the various board- of stiper-vi-ors, in the different counties of Arizona, at their regular mteting ne.vt preceding the 'ith day of November, to aptoint election officer-? in the vnriou- precinct.- of their -eveml cotin-tie-.

While silver i- doin the object of the mining companies 111 Southeastern Arizona -em- to belo kc pa few men at work piospccting and developing the mines and extracting only sttflici ent ore to pay running expense. Con sequently no -Hike- are announced although largo oie bodies may be en coiiuteu'tl. Should the silver conven tion, whicli nuets at St. Louk next month, cau-e -ilver to o np there is no doubt that m.tiiy mines in this di-trict, and other di--triets al-o, would t irt up. With sil ver at par, or even i)7, initio flint are now idle and practically abandoned would pour fourth thoti-und-of tousl of oie on which a good profit would be made. An advance in silver means more to Arizona at picscnt than any thing else. In mining mutters in this di-trict there is no change of importance to note. Several mines remain in u statu of practical inactivity and others are only taking out enough ore to pay ex penses. Work is being continued on the Herschel and the u-iml amount of lir.-t-cl.is- ore is being extracted. The Blue Monday, leased by D.ive and .-on, is producing -ome fine ore. But little work ha- Wen done on this property and the indication- for strik ing a large body of ore tire good. Work is progressing on the Town site. The lessee has a good vein of ore in sight that assay.- well. The Wedge lm- been leased anil io showing up good ore. The Stonewall stem- to have an un limited amount of manganese ore, which is being -em to El Paso for llux. The oie body recently struck in the Sun-et pinched very small but i- open ing out as sinking progre-ses. The Old Guard remains quiet. The Tombstone M. &. M. eompaiiy i.- working only three of its numerous claims at present the Lucky Cuss, Westside and northwest shaft of the Toughnut. About -ixty men are em ployed by the company in prospecting and development work, only solhcient ore being extracted to pay running expenses. Work is being done on the lower level-of the Mate of Maine, fen men being employed. A winze 1- being sunk from the -ixth to the seetith level in which good ore has been n eotiuteied. The old hoi-t of the Bunker Hill is being removed toStein'a Pa-s b Ham Light. It will be put into operation in that district. Work has not vet started on the Nicholas. The Ground Hog continues to dem onstrate its value to its owners. Ore is being steadily shipped to the mill. The slopes and drifts in the Vizina are being cleaned out and the mine put m good shajie. There is consider able low grade ore in the drifts that wxs extracted years ago but never hoisted. When this mine is cleaned out the diamond drill w ill lie started. The stamps of the Sterling Silver mill are kept steadily at work on Viz ina and Ground Hog ores. Bullion is U.-ing steadily shipped and several thousand dollars distributed every month. Good progress is being made in the drift at the bottom of the well. When the water that was struck by the diamond drill is tapped by the drift the buddies will be started and Superintendent Fisher will be en abled to work ores to a much higher percentage than now. The latest strike reported is that by Mr. Bcntley and George Monroe, in the White Picach hills, sixty miles northwest of Phenix. The Herald says they were tunneling an old claim for silver mid copjxr, and were about to throw the ically neh -tuff over the dump. .Monroe noticed free gold in it and Mr. Reiitley brought in thir teen ounce of jsohl, which he got by pulverizing ami lutiinitig twenty-one . mul- of ueni-ly lejeclod rock. It whs meuMiud up and exhibited at Kirktand's cigar factory. Ilurehavv district is quite lively and (Oiitains over -iuO people, nearly all of whom art- at work, many of them chloriding. One disadvantage to this dssiik-l i- tiu water U struck at a depth cf about 1 .11) feet. Ore below the water level is ol good grade, how ever, and pays the extra expen.-u of pumping.
