idly arning an unenviable reputation Tor the town of Benson, added another to their long list of outrages and crimes Wednesday morning. An emigrant train steered into tho station auout daylight, and was delayed nearly an hour, switching freight cars and catching on empties. The two last cars on the train wero second-class emigrant can and were left back a couple of hundred yards on tho 'track. While the railroad employees were busily engaged at their business, about ten of the rustlers sneaked back to the emigrant train, and in western parlance "took it in." Four of the scoundrels stood at each of the four doors and with pistols tn hand commanded silence. The, rest of tho robbers then ransacked the two cars and took everything of value that could be found, even going so far as taking car-rings, and jewelry from women and young girls One old woman who was traveling to California with twa daughters, had a purse containing $370 forcibly taken out of her clinched hand an old man had a pair of fine boots pulled off his feet, and ttree young girls, who wera sleeping in a corner of one of the cars, were robbed of all their bedding.

It took about fifteen minutes to complete the job, and the robbers absconded and have not been heard from since. It is estimated that not less than $500 worth was stolen. AN INDIAN KAID, Vrclclitera Attacked N'onr Ccilar Hprlngt. A dispatch was received at Foit Ilua-chuca about 0 o'clock Wednesday even-ing, informing tho commanding officer that a band of hostllcs had raided in the neighborhood of Cedar Springs, attacked a freighting party and killed one of the drivers. The freighters resisted the attack, killed one of the savages and by a vigorous fire succeeded in driving oil' tho red devils.

The freighters scalped the dead Indian and possess the top-knot as a trophy of their victory. Immediately on receipt of the intelligence the commanding officer ordered Lieutenant Bailey and twenty men to take the field, and if pos-slblo Intercept the savages before they crossed into bonora, for which place they were evidently heading. Captain Thompson with his company of the Third cavalry Is now scouting in the vicinity of Cedar Springs, and Lieut. Bailey will co-operato with his command and try to Intercept the savages if possible. The dispatch reached tho post at sine o'clock, and ere daylight next morning, horses were shod, mules packed and the detachment on the road.

The men wero supplied with 20 days rations and eighty rounds of ammunition. The promptness with which they got ready to depart cannot be too highly commendod. It is generally supposed that tho band were some White Mountain Apaches, who were iccently raiding in Pleasant Valley, and are now escspint? to Bonora. TKAILINGCRIMINALS. A Hand of Determined Men In Hot l'ursmt of Slurdercrs.

A few days ago a man named Talroland, who was in the employ of Mr. Slaughter, Tancher on the San Pedro, near Hereford, was killed by a gang 01 tne lntamous Cal-abasas roughs In the south end tho Sonoita Valley, near tho Sonora frontier. Ho had $800 on his person at the time of his death, the securing of which doubtless was the object of tho murderers. Word reached town yesterday that Mr. Slaughter, at the head of a select party, was hot on the trail of tho criminals, and doubtless captured a portion of the gang before he gave up the pursuit.

Our information comes from a man who was in Mr. Slaughter's party until yesterday morning, but returned to Tombstone on some business. Whiio the man was not inclined to give much information, still it was learned indirectly that thero was not less than eight of the murderers, and that five of them went to Sonora, and three were heading northward. The Slaughter party are on the trail of the latter, who, from what can be learned, are soma where in the vicinity of the Santa Itltas. It is hardly necessary to stato that if the pursuing party catch up with the fugitives, the county will be saved tho expense of trial and punishment.

The Tombstone Club. The elegant rooms of the Tombstone Club, in the second story of the Kitchlo building, were thrown open to the members last evening. A casual glance at the rough, unplastered walls and crude stairway on the exterior, would not lead one to bellove that such taste and elegance reigned wituin. me main sitting room ot the Club Is 19x43 feet, tastefully with writing and card tables, easy chairs and reading tables. Tho floor is carpeted with rich Brussels carpet, large pattern, and yellow the predominating color.

Tho unity of color in the furnishing of the room immediately attracts attention. The chairs, cuspudores and curtains are of the same general color as the carpet, which has tiio eirect of making tho appearance more pleasing to the eye than a heterogeneous blending of hues. A magnificent sideboard, well laden with choice liquors and cigars is not the least attractive portion of the furniture. spacious apartment in rear of tho reading room ill be subdivided inffo card, store, and wash rooms 111 fow days. The Club has about sixty merabeis and is in a very flourishing condition.

Moic than seventy publications, comprising all the leading American and foreign, newspapers, magazines and periodicals are received. To Mr. Richard Utile, who has had charge of furnishing the. rooms and arranging them, the Club is Indebted for a display of elegant taste and good Judgment W. A.

Never did thoso interested enter-talu such unbounded faith in the mineral wealth of Tombstone district, and never siuco tho first pick was stuck iu the ground, has thero been such zeal in development. There is no doubt but tho quality of the mineral extracted is an improvement on that herctoforo brought to tie surface, and tho supply stems inexhaustible.

Tho Empire and Tranquility, neighbors on Contention Ilill, are now yielding oro of a very high grade, and from general appearances promises to remain veritable bonanzas. Tho great producing mines, aro shipping' tho usual amount to the mills, and the Iugersoll, Stonewall and Randolph maintain the reputation of the western end of the district. Tho following are the litest Items of inteie9t so far as collected by our reporters: THANQUIHTY. This mine is yielding some very high grade ore, carrying free gold and horn silver. About thirty tons is extracted daily, and tho prospects of a large oro body aro very good.

A drift is being driven north on the first level, and sloping is continued near tho shaft. AVill start up the steam hoisting works on the first of August. Putting in a cago and rigging up tho hoisting machinery now. Tho timbers and guides are all framed and ready." for use. Ten stamps of the Girard mill are at work on Tranquility oro sinco last Sunday.

LSQERSOLL. A fine body of oro was discovered in the west drift from the second level, a few days ago. The upraise is now 9G feet from the level, and is making good headway. The rest of the works heretofore reported are continued with good results. A crosscut has been started north from the main west drift on tho first level, with good indications ot ore.

The usual amount of ore is hoisted, all covered with horn silver. STOXEWALL. The west winze on tho 100 level is now down 130 feet. The crosscut, north, from the ICO level, is in 10 feet in pay rock. Sloping Is continued on the 160 level, and the usual amount of ore is being shipped.

LOXOFJELLOW." Work is being prosecuted with avidity on this claim, and it is opening up nicely. Adrift has been started south from tho bottom, and a nice body of low grade oro opened up, that promises to increaso in quality as developments are prosecuted. An air plunger has been erected and is doing good work. EAQLE. Tho shaft is now down seventy feet, and has struck a vein of very nice ore, about two feet wide, and expanding as the york progresses.

COKTACT. The sUnlt on this claim is now down 125 feet and still sinking. The drifts from the shaft are pushed along vigorously, looks very fair, and the indications of being better are good. BLUE MONDAY. A lino body of ore was struck in this mine, a lew days ago in the south drift from the 1)0 level.

The oro is of the same general quality as the Ingersoll, and promises to open up into aline body. The shaft is down 1G0 feet. CONTENTION. Thcic is nothing of unusnal interest to note from this mine'this week. The crosscuts on tho S00 and GOO levels are progressing slowly in consequence of ex-tremely hard ground, work is being pushed both ways from the bottom of the winze.

The usuM amount of ore is being shipped to the mill on the river. Ten stamps of the Girard mill are still pounding away at Contention second-class. There is still about 10,000 tons of the latter on the dump. OIUND CENTUAL. The drifts and crosscuts on the 500 and GOO levels arc about the same as when last reported.

Tho ground is somewhat softer, ana belter progi ess is neing maae. nothing has been btruck as yet on the lower level, though tho prospects look encouraging. The stopes throughout the mine are looking well, uiiil there is plenty of ore in sight. HEAD CENTUE. Sloping Is continued above and below the first level.

Chutes are being erected near the shaft to facilitate loading. Au upraise from the (list level to the sut face has been started. EMl'IItE. This mine is turning into a veritable bonanza, from present appearances is second to none in tl district. Tho stop in tho 450 level has tuincd into a huge body of horn silver beariuc mineral, and the 400 level is about in the samo condi tion.

M010 than 5,000 tons of extremely high grado ore is now in sight, assaying from a general sample $211 in gold and $373.31 in silver. Tho north drifts from the 400 and 500 levels are about the same. The west drift from tho 450 is still in hard lime rock with good indications ot ore. The south drilt of the 450 level Is looking well. No first class ore extracted, except what is absolutely necessary in the work of development.

Tho second-class dump is increasing rapidly and now contains more than 1500 tons. Thero is enough of $40 ore in sight to keep twenty stamps at work for two years. Under the active management of Mr. R. H.

Cavill, tho Umpire is rapidly moving to the iront rank of the Tombstone bonanzas. T. Jf AND M. CO. There is nothing of unusual consequence to report from the mines of this company this week.

The works heretofore reported are being vigorously prosecuted and the mines are looking well. Steam hoisting works are being erected at the West Side, and will be ready for actual operations in a few days. No. 1 incline is looking better. The usual amount of ore is being shipped, and everything is running along smoothly.

OLD GUATtD. A wino has been started from the 230 level, and is being sunk through a solid ore body. A winze is also being sunk fiom the south drift of the 150 level. Tho north drift from the 80 level is being pushed forward in a cood quality of ore. Seventy tons of ore was recently milled with very satisfactory results.

The ore is somewhat similar to the Iugersoll, but not quite of such a high grade. SEOItEOATED (CIUEIJ'H Work was commenced on the 13th, and an open cut run. Now down eight feet, and tapped a nice body ot chloride. Im- prcgnatcd with horn silver. Lumber, fcr lagging purposes, has been shipped to the mine- The prospects aie good and work will bo vigorously pushed.

This mine is on the samo ledge as the Randolph. W1NKIELD. Drifting vigorously on tho 130 level and sinking on both shafts. Shaft 1 is down 130 feet and shaft 2, 100 feet. Connection made between the two a few days ago, at 100 feet fiom the surface.

A nice oro body was struck in the mnin drift within tho ptst week. Sixteen men are employed, and from four to six tons of ore aro hoisted daily. RANDOLPH. 'Die developments continue, and tho ore bodies are increasing in every quarter of the mine. Winze No 2 is now down 00 feet, all in solid ore.

Winze No. 3 is down 37 feet in good oro. Drifts have been started each way from winze No. 4 The southwest drift is in 40 feet nil in oie, and ho northeast nearly the same distance in like ground. A winze has just been started from the crosscut connecting the two shafts.

About fifteen tons of oro aro hoisted dally, only development woik being done, and no ore taken out only what is necessary. Thlrly-two men aro employed. It is expected that the mill will stmt up by the first ot the month. Itt.UE JACKET. Shaft No.

1 is down 50 feet, No. 2 25 feet and No. 3 40 feet. All are being sunk iu a solid body of ore. Work is progressing rapidly, eight men aio employed, and ore assaying $350 a ton extracted.

FRANKLIN. A winze has been started ou a small vein ot low grado ore, sixty feet west of the shaft. Several stringers wero cut, and all are seemingly coming together at no great depth. Eight men are employed. HON TON.

A contract has been let to sink the shaft on this mine 100 feet. Now sinking ing in fair ore, with promises of future richness. 1'AIK VILLA. Mado better progress during this week, averaging two leet daily, ten hours, four men to shift. Formation improving.

Ledge lying against hanging wall. Widened to two feet, showing some ore of a fair quality. Ledge making the true course, with several stringers of quartz passing through it. There is no sign of a toot-wall yet. Shaft is securely timbered.

Ventilation good. Everything working un-interuptedly and rapidly. Depth of shaft 01 feet. THUNDERBOLT CON. The combination shaft is now d6wn about 50 leet, on solid body of ore, bnt further progress is retarded on account of foul air, the ore carbonizing so rapidly in sinking that it gives out a noxious gas.

This trouble will soon bo obviated by putting in a blower and air pipes, when de-vclopinent will be pushed with all speed. NOTES. Tho San Raphael will be started up in a few weeks. This claim will bo represented at Denver by ore giving $488 a ton. Tha Mamio, near the Randolph, is being developed briskly, and is showing up nicely.

Tho Hope shaft is now down 75 feet. Nothing has been struck as yet, but the prospects are very good. The Luck Sure, one of tho most promising mines in the western part of the district, will start up in a few weeks. Unusual actiyiiy prevails throughout the entire district. The Little Devil is turniug out some very fine 01 and promises to turn into a veritable bonanza at no distant day.

Prof. John A. Church is examining the company's mills at Charleston. E. B.

Gage, of the Grand Central, and family arrived from California Wednesday evening. M. T. Williams, the office man of the T. 31.

M. Co. is the most industrious ledger fiend in town. Dan Mangan, an old mill man, and a bully boy, is in town. He will take a po-sltion in tho Randolph mill.

Wallace Corbett, foreman of tho Contention, is a perfect sphinx. A reporter might as well try to pump the Sulphuret dry as to pump an Rem of news out of him. It is thought that the Girard will commence operations again in a few days. TURQUOISE DISTRICT. From this camp come accounts brimful of hops for its future.

In addition to the Last Chauce, now largely developed, from which we a few days since received most encouraging news, tho Dcflanco is once more being energetically operated under the direction of Mr. Withercll, of Black Bear notoriety. Nine men are employed, and two winzes located in the tunnel art' being pushed down with all possiblo dispatch to test its merits deeper down, it is being opened for a Chicago capitalist, to whom Mr. Stebbins gave a 00 days' bond. Tho Defiance exhibits excellent prospects, but when greater depth is reached we entertain no doubt but that those prospects will largely increaso in both extent and intrinsic value per ton.

In a few weeks more it is probable the Last Chance will increase its working force, as Mr. J. D. Power yesterday received advices which leave room for such probability. Then we may look for a boom in Turquoise.

COCHISE DISTRICT. JtuHsell Htlll lloomlng An Important Male The Population IncreaninK ltrlght Prospects. CorrespenJenct of the Epitaph. Russell, July 24, 1882. Notwithstanding the Egyptian muddle, Eastern complications, England's temerity tad other questions of vital and comprehensive interest occurring with the day, we are able to contriuute somo matteis of interest to the public from this live and thriving camp.

The Peabody mine is being-worked with a full force of men, under the well known vigorous foremanship of Mr. Al. Burring-ton, and every daj's operations but demon strata the gieat and growing value of that property. The winze from the 110 foot level is down nearly 30 feet, with a breast of 14 feet, and showing a width of pay ore to 7 feet. The southeast drift from this samo level is in 100 feet, and discloses for the entire length a well-stored vein body of hich grade ore, tho face presenting the full width of drift in ore.

The upraises will, within a few feet, make connection with the main shalt, and then a free current of air will better enable the working out of the immense bodies of ore opened up by the upraises. In grade the ore of this mine is higher with tho depth attained. Copper very high, appearing interspersed in native form, with gold and silver in paying quantities. On the 24th a sale was effected of the San Antonio mine here. The parties selling being A.

Jores, Geo. Scherer, J. P. Stnith and II. C.

Ze'uler, and the purchaser being Mr. S. M. Wessels. The amount paid was $50,000.

This is one of tho best properties in the district, aud with the vein merely bared at the surface by removal of the wash and drift gives a width of ore 14 feet. There had been no development of this property of any consequence until the recent sale, when Mr. Wessels, with characteristic energy, immediately put a full force of men to work to explore the mine. Tho chiracter of ore from this claim is leading copper, both auriferous and argentiferous, and from surface assays gives great promise of a grand mine. Work on the San Antonio will be pushed with great vigor and unceasingly to a development that will justify tho election of reduction works, which will be erected then without delay.

Three shifts of men will work, filling 24 hours the day, and within the next thirty dtys something is expected of tho San Antonio. The Russell smelter Is runninc to its full capacity, and a steady yield of bullion is tho result. Mr. James Hughes is showfng himself master of the situation in tho manipulation of the smelter. The general tone of the camp is good.

Business of every kind is prosperous, and all seem happy and assured. Even the usually sedate features of Mr. R. E. Humphrey, the camp's discoverer, are now more often to be seen wreathed in smiles, as he contemplates the good work ot his life bearing so near fruition.

We are receiving accretions in the way of substantial citizenship and population daily, and with them tho refining elements of social organization. And ere many months shall have come nnd a community will have beep 8tullishpd hero of commanding consequin 'p. Very tiulv. II. T.

TOMBSTONE POSTOFFICE, Chorees of Carelessness and Irrccu-larltles in the Transmission aud of nails. Ever since the appointment of Post-Blaster Brooks frequent complaints have been made to the EriTAru, ot carelessness or incompetency in the transmission and distribution of mails. While the office was in temporary quarters, after tho fire, these shortcomincs were partially excused in consequence of a lack of room and facilities, but now that the office is in pei-manent quarters, and Mr. Brooks familiarized with the work, people aro not inclined to be so lenient. There is hardly a doubt but grave abuses exist, some of it being the result of gross carelessness and inefficiency, while a part may be attributed to pure cusscdness.

Scarcely a day passes but we receive com-plaints from subscribers in the county towns, about tho Irregularity with which the EriTAru is received. Sometimes the paper is not received for three or four days, and then several arrive at once. Mr. Brooks lays the blame ou the country postmasters, but an investigation will not bear him out; the fault is in tho Tombstono office and it can bo proven. Letters for Charleston, 111., are invariably sent to Charleston, Arizona, and letters have been received at tho latter place after making a trip to Illinois and back.

A prominent business man of Benson, in conversation with an EriTAm man, Sunday evening, said that he bad business connections with a firm in this city and correspondence passed back and forth frequently. Sometimes it tase a letter three days to get to Benson, and not unfrequently have letters Iain in the office here lor two days without being delivered. The Benson gentleman also remarked that complaint was general in his town about the slovenly manner in which tha mall from this city arrives. Tho same ciy comes from Contention and other adjacent towns, and there is no doubt but there is good cause for it. These are examples of the inefficiency, now for the cusscdness.

On the 21st Inst, new rules were put in force by the P. O. department, requiring second class mail matter to be prepaid. Sunday morning, the mailing clerk of the EriTAPir, went to the postoffice to pay the postage on our outgoing mail, but could not get ono of the clerks to answer him, though he plainly heard them walking inside the partition. Later in the day Mr.

Brooks was informed by the clerk that he had discovered tho EriTAPn mail bag. and inquired why it had not been forwarded, and was informed that the new rules were in operation, that the Epitaph had been picking at him, and the boys were mad and did not propose to show any favors to this office. He said the county mall had been duly forwarded. On the evening (of Sunday Mr. Hausucr, the Charleston news agent, reached the city, and iu company with him tho book-keeper went to the postoffice to make certain whether the Charleston papers had been forwarded, as Mr.

Hausuer would tako them out if they were not. Tho red-headed rooster who blinks through the delivery window reasserted that all county mail, including Charleston, had been sent. Yesterday the following letter from the gentleman In question was received Charleston, July 23rd. Epitaph Publishing Co. We did not receive any papers to-day, although the postmaster at Tombstone, or his clerk informed Mr.

Hudson in my presence that they were duly forwarded. Either the bundle was lost or the postoffice officials arc liars. Respectfully, R. Hausuer. Yesterday's post also brought the following epistles: Russill Citt, July 23, 1882.

Editor of Epitaph. Sir I sent $3.00 by Mr. Glass on tho 15th instant, for the daily, and I have not received a copy as yet. Yon will please see to it and oblige, Yours, Wit. II, Jordon, Summit Station, Cochise A.

T. Russell Citt, July 23, 1882. Mr. Samuel Puudy Sin I have been subscribing for tho daily for a little over a month and have not received more than half tho copies, and they are from threo to four days behind. Please send me regular and' oblige Yours, Georoe Julian.

It is hardly necessary to slate that these papers are promptly and regularly mailed, and thus being not received by the parties to whom they are addressed is solely the fault of- the postoffice. Mr. Brooks has been frequently remonstrated with for his carelessness and admonished to pay a little more attention to his busines. On one occasion ho informed the editor of the Epitaph that he would discharge his present foice as soon as he got the run of things himself. On that occasion ho admitted their inefficiency, and said complaints were coming in all around.

He is trying to shift the blame on the country postmasters, but that won't do. From all wo can hear, the Charleston, Contention and Benson postmasters understand their business, and pay proper attention to the details of their offices. If Brooks don't attend to his duties more strictly, a reaion-strance should be sent to the Department and his shortcoming made known. 1 A TOUGH STORY. Doe.

IlolIIday Takos in a Jteporter. A copy of the Denver Republican about a month old wandered into this office a tew days ago, which is in a certain sense interesting, as it contains an interview with the now notorious Doc. Holliday. If the statement before us is a specimen of Doc's veracitj thero is no questioning the strength and power of his imagination. Doc's first great lie was that he was an honest, peaceable citizen while In Arizona, and contributed more than any other one man towards preventing stage robberies and outrages of all kinds.

Lie No. 2 That when Sheriff Behan was nominated for sheriff of Cochise county tho "cowboys" packed the convention in his favor, and by terrorism caused by a flourish of revolvers and bowle kalves forced his nomination. When Doc spun that yarn we wonder if he teally remembered that Mr. Behan was appointed Sheriff by a Republican Doc introduces the Epitaph into lie No. 3, by stating that the cowboys raided the office on the morning of May the first, and by what is known as revolver argument" induced the editors to change the policy of the paper and make it a cowboy organ" henceforth The same veracious narrator states that Charles D.

Rcppy, the then editor of the Epitaph, was run out of the country at that time, and dartd not rdurn since. Several extracts from the Epitaph (published since the renaissance) were quoted to show that the "cowboys" not only induced a change of policy regarding thrin, but also a change of politics. Several other statements of like import are contained in the interview, but the above is sufficient to show the general tenor. An Epitaph reporter met Mr. Heppy after reading the interview and inquired if he had seen it.

An affirmative answer, accompanied by a laugh, was given, supplemented by the statement that Hollidsy was the most thoroughly equipped liar, and smoothest scoundrel in the United Mates. The reporter then inquired If Mr. Heppy was not a fiicnd of the Earp3 and Holliday, ana was immediately answeied in the negative. He said thut he was Ecver on intimate tonus with any member of the gang, and believed that the greatest blessing ever bestowed on Arizona wai their dcpaitare from beyond its borders. Reppy said his attention was called to thf Interview while In Colorado, but it was too absurd, and too thoroughly pregnant with glaring falsehoods, about the people of Arizona, to take serious notice of.

Police Court business has been pretty dull for the past few days. GILDED AGE. The Latest Supreme Conrt Decision in this Famous Case. The following is tho decision of the Supreme Court of tho United States in the celebrated Gilded Age suit, which for the last two years has been such a fruitful source of turmoil to the people of Tombstone. It requires no comment.

McKenney, Clerk Supreme Court U. S. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. The Careless Handling of Pistol Nearly a Life. Sunday afternoon, the careless handling of a pistol in the Delta saloon on Allen street, came near ending tho existence of Louis Kissingsr, a step-brother of Billy Lo Van.

It seems a man named James Tompkins, was exhibiting a couple of revolvers to a Mexican aud expatiating on their fine points. James Wilson, a young man a little over twenty, who recently arrived in tho city was a spectator, and took one of the guns from Tompkins, and commenced to flourish it. He was evidently trying to impress on the spectators, his familiarity with pistols, and his knowledge of their use, and swung the dangerous plaything around rather lcck-lessly. He was showing tho spectators what is called "the Colorado cowboy plan of practicing for a sheriff," the modus operandi of which is to swing the pistol around on the forefingers with rapidity, bringing it to a ready at each revolution. He was admonished to be careful, nnd the barkeeper got judiciously out ot range.

Louis Kessmger was sitting at the end ot tho room reading, and taking no notice of of the performance, when suddenly the pistol went off and the bullet took effect in his right breast, about two and a half inches above the nipple. It then took a downward course, strikinS the sternum and the fourth rib, then glanced upward and diverged on the left side ot the breast two inches above the left nipple, and lodged about the middle of the left forearm, after first glancing off the back of a chair on which the arm was leaning. Dr. McSwegan was immediately summoned, and under his skillful treatment the wounded man is getting along as well as could be expected. Tho wound is very painful but not necessarily fatal, and at last accounts the patient was resting easy.

Wilson was arrested and lodged in the county jail, but as soon as the facts were learned, he was released, the matter being purely accidental. A lluachnca JUonnnza. The Dunton mine, in Ramsey's canyon, is beginning to attract consideiablc attention, owing to the richness of the ore extracted at the surface. The ledge as found only a short timo ago, although some $2,000 have been expended in woik on tho claim. Tho vein carries virgin silver, rich chlorides and galena.

A twelve foot shaft has been sunk, and on the dump are fifteen tons of first-class ore, and twenty tons of second class, all taken out by two men in fifteen days. The ledge is six feet wide, carrying a two-toot streak of ore impregnated with native and horn silver and black sulphuret, the balance containing galena ore, running high in silver. A lot of first-class ore will be shipped to a smelter and given a thorough working test. The mine is very available, being in a heavily wooded country, within 1000 yards of an abundance of water, and eight or nine miles from the railroad. A mile away a saw-mill will shortly be construct-ed.

The fortunate owners of this remarkable prospect are O. W. McCullough and R. V. Dunton.

In the Epitaph office can be seen a very rich specimen of the ore. It is reported that the Hon. Richard Rule will sack the Democratic nomination lor member of the Territoiial Council at the eaauing election. FURNITURE FURNITURE F. S.
