As some of the advocates of disin-rorporation are endeavoririg to make votes by representing that the city property will boas 6afc under the Blinn act. as under the present city charter, we herewith present a section front each law bearing on the point. It will be seen that according to the Blinn act the trustees can do as they please, while under the city charter the City Council can do nothing in the matter without a vole of the peo- pie Comment is unnecessary: Section 17, paragraph 164, of the proposed Blinn act, reads thus: 'l'he Board of Trustees shall have the power to sell and convey, lease or rent, a'ny real or personal pioperty belonging to the corporation created by this act to such person or persons, and for such a price and terms, as they may deem expedient and advantageous to the interest of such corporation." Section page 518, of the pfeaent city charter, reads thus "It shall be unlawful for the Mayor or Common Council of the city of Tombstone to purchase -or fell any real estate without first having submitted the question of purchasing or selling such property to a vote of the qualified electors of said city."

Araal'amatins Process. Messrs. Barber Clarke are putting up a trial plant at Mammoth for the amalgamation of rebellious ores, known as the Ruber process, and which gives promise of working an entire revolution in amalgamation. The process is hardly explainable, but consists in forcing the pulp from the sluice plates through a body of prepared amalgam, the preparation of which is a secret, but is something vonderful, as it will amalgamate iron or copper covered with grease, and "seems to have an affinity for gold and silver no matter what combination of metals it is found in.

The following correspondence will repay perusal by our taxpayers who tako any interest in the management of our county affairs: Babacomatii Ranch. A. April 18, 1890. Editor Epitaph: Herewith en closed I send you a communication from Dr. Goodfellow.

which should be very interesting reading fo every taxpayer in Cochise county. If the whole county management of a majority of the Board is similar, in extravagance and utter di-regaid of the law. to the way which the doctor has shown us in his letter they have cared for our costly county hospital, and it is natural to iuferth.it it i-1, it is not surprising that our tax rate last year reached the significant figures of four dollars and a quarter of a cent on the $100 of taxable property. So far as their own taxes go to show, Messrs. Coffman and Montgomery have no property to speak of in Cochise county, and can take the stage any morning in Tombstone on short notice and seek different scenes, where their financial genius will be'better appreciated.

But, what about the taxpayer who will have to suffer for their misdeeds? I commend their acts to the care of the Epitaph which I hope will be fully capable of looking after them. Yours truly, C. M. Bruce. C.

M. Bruck Dear Sir: In response to your request for information in icgard to mismanagement of county affairs, accompanied by flagrant violation of the laws by those who were elected and sworn to uphold them, the following facts may be pertinent The last legislature passed two bills one "defining the qualifications of oliice holders and employees in public institutions;" the other, a hill providing for the care of the indigent sick. In open and premeditated defiance of the first law, the Board of Supervisors have gone on employing and paying a Chinaman as cook in the hospital ever since they were aware of the illegality of so doing. Whether there are other illegal employees or not, I do not know. The indigent sick bill, is a good one and, hail its provi-ions been carried out i CQod.

faith. for iluij" tjjnths-it should have been in force, there would have be-n a naving to county of about $2,000. To demonstrate this retrospective glance is necessary. Prior to 1885 Cochise county ditl, as did, and still do, all tliM other counties of the Territory, in regard to the care of their indigent sick, advertise for proposals and let the contract to the lowest responsible bidder. Whether ibis is the proper system to follow or not, is not the quesrion under discussion.

We are now considering eenn omy, not philanthrophy. At any rate, it has worked well and satisfactorily lor the twenty-five years of our Territorial existence. The average price paid for the care of the indigent sick, throughout the Territory barringthis county is $1 per day per patient: Up to 1885, the price paid in Cochise county never averaged that figure. With the incoming of Mr. Theodore White and Mr.

John Montgomery, in 1885, began the era of mismanagement in county hospital affairs. They concluded that the county should own and manage its own hospital. Accordingly they advertised for bids for building. The contract was let for about $2,600 but before the building was finished it had cost about $7,000, and even then it was incomplete, subsequent expenditure of two or three thousand dollars being needed to make a hospital out of it. After completion they installed their ''doctor," and by ths close of the year the ho-piial and the care of the indigent sick, including cost of hospital build ing, had cost the taxpayers of Cochise co nly nearly and this with an average of only ten patients per day for ten months of the year, which, as any one can see, made the cost per patient per day something like $3.50, as against 95 cents the preceding year.

There has been no year since thai, and with an average of only eight, or nine patients per day, that the care of the indigent sick and the hospital has cost less than eight thousand dollars; making a grand total for the five years of $40,000. Had the old system been pursued, taking the average of patients as reported eight or nine per day the cost would have'been about a difference of $5,000 a year added to the burdens of the taxpayers of the county to gratify the whims of Mr. Theodore White and Mr. John Montgomery, the latter especially. When the present Board of Supervisors became aware last Spring that there was a law requiring them to act for the best interests of the county, they entered into a conspiracy to nullify it, find lmve evadsd it up to the present time, and in so doing have added about $2,000 unnecessarily to the county indebtedness.

Instead of complying with the law at once, they delayed for a month, then advertised as required: They did not, as is customary, call for bonds to accompany the bills. Two bills were put in one (a straw bid, antl they knew it), for fort" cents per day per patient, accompanied by no bond I he other for one dollar and twenty-fit cents per day, which was accompanied by a perfected bond for the statutory amount. The award was made to the lowest bidder and ten lays given in whidi to file a bond. No bond was filed until two days after the expiration of the time granted. Then the contention was that another bond ought to be required, so thirty days further extension of lime was allowed.

In the meanwhile the Court Commissioner granted an injunction restraining the Board from acting under the law. This was vacated without even an attempt to defend it when Judge Barnes came to hear the case, thus demonstrating cotfclusively the conspiracy which had been entered into. Since that time the Board has done nothing, and, so far as it is possible to tell, intends to do nothing until compelled. Whether it can continue this course indefinitely remains to be tested. Had the Board acted in good faith, and awarded the contract to the lowest "responsible" bidder, the cost of maintaining the indigent tick for the seven months ending December 31, 1889, instead of being about $4,500, would have been about $2,000 a differ-enceof added to thecounty debt to gratify Mr.

Coffman and Mr. Montgomery, neither of whom are in reality taxpayers. To a "man up a tree," the actions of the Board seem to indicate what is called "malfeasance in office" a misdemeanor or felony according to the gravity of the offense. If I have not made this affair and its consequences perfectly clear to you, I shall be glad to supply you with other data and corroborative evidence which will be conclusive, even to the most skeptical. Very truly yours, George Goodfellow.

Tombstone, January 2, 1890. P. S. Since writing the foregoing the grand jury has come and gone and made the usual vapid report upon county affairs. itwaa auoid tha.

TSsnrcfc'teo x--f iho Board of Super iors that the hospital had only $5,500 for the entire year, when reference to the reports of the County Phy-f-i ian and the books of the Board would have demonstrated tltt the cost for the nine months only of 1889 to October lt, had been $5,400. which, with a quarter yet to be added, would have made the amount over $7,000 for the year 1889. Vide grand jury re-portsJ Since the first writing also, the Board have again gone through the farce of receiving bids for the care of indigent sick. This time they were compelled to award the contract to a responsible bidder but imposed such extra legal conditions in the contract that the successful bidder declined to sign it and hospital affairs are in statu quo. From the report of the Pima county Board of Supervisors, the cost of maintaining the county hospital of that county for 1889 was $3,888, with an average of fourteen or fifteen patients; less than half the cost of that of Cochise county, and with double the number of patients.

The taxpayers of Cochise county have much for which to thank their Board of Supervisors. As matters now stand property is virtually confiscated, the owner being allowed use of it at a high rental. G. G. J.

H. old miner and prospector of this county, came into our office Sunday, with a pair of sandals, made from the Spanish dagger, which ho had found in a room of cave dwellers, 12 miles northeast of Clifton, at Sunset Peak. Mr. Velton also had specimens of crystalized lime, which he had broken from the ceiling of one of the rooms. The delicate, frosty formation was indisputable evidence of the ags it required to complete the beautiful straw-colored specimens ho has secured from these rooms.

If these sandals were made and worn by the cave dwellers, the material from wnich they were made is sufficient evidence to us that- it is the most lasting known. We have miles of this dagger growing upon our plains and mountaintops that has been considered worthless. Mr. Velton is going bac' to cleat? out some of the rooms which are partially lilted with guano, to make further researches, and, if possible, to find more evidence about the peculiar people. We wisft him success.

A Strange Winged Monster Discovered and Killed on tlie Unachnea Desert. A winged monster, resembling a huge all gaior with an extremely elongated til and an immense pair of wings, was found on the desert betwetn the Whetstone and Huachuca mountains last Sun day by two ranchers who were returning home from the Huachucas. The creature was evidently greadv exhausted by a long fl ght and when discovered wa able 'o fly but a short distance at a time. After the first of amaz-ment na passed the two men, who were on horseback and armed with Winchester r.fles, regained suffi. ient courage to pursue the monster and after an exciting chase of several miles succeeded in ietung near enough to open fire wi heir rifles and wour ng it.

The then turned on the men, but owinj; iis exhausttd condition ihey were able to ke-p out of its way and after a fe ell duected shots the monster parti) to led over and remained motionless. The men cautiously approached, their hvirses snorting with terror, and found that the creature was dead. They then proceeded to make an examination and found that it measured about ninety-two feet in length and the greatest dUmetet was about fifty inches. The monster had only two feet, these being situated a short distance in front of where tht wings were joined to the body. The head, as near as they could judge, was about eight feet long, the jiws being thickly set with strong, sharp teeth.

Its es were as large as a dinner plate and protruded about way from the head. They had some difficulty in measuring the wings as they were partly folded under the body, but finally got one straightened out sufficiently to get a measurement of seventy-eight feet, making the total length from tip to tip about 160 feet. The wings were composed of a thick and nearly transparent membrane and were devoid of feathers or hair, as was the entire body. The skin of the body was comparatively smooth and easily penetrated by a bullet. The men cut off a small portion of the tip ot one wing and took it home with them.

Late last night one of them arrived in this city for supplies and to make the necessary preparations to skin the creature, when the hide will be seat east for examination by the eminent scientists ol the day. The finder returned early this trning accompanied by several prominent men uho will endeavor to bring ihe strange creature to this city before it is mutilated.

Peto. Wm. Pickett, Superintendent of the Quijotoa mines near Tucson, and John Campbell, of Tucson, in company with Wm. Lyle and wife and Hank Donnelly, of San Francisco, have been in our camp for several days, looking at the mining property located in Gold Gulch, with a view of purchasing a group of mines in that rich camp. Mr.

Pickett has been here before, looking at this property and from his report upon them, the other named gentlemen and capitalists returned with him for a further inspection. The information we could gather from them was, that they expressed themselves as more than pleased with the indications, and thought we had the best mineral district in the great Southwest. We. feel justified in stat ing that there will be a mining deal effected soon, whidi will, be of more than ordinary importance. The gentlemen chartered an extra train and left us Sunday morning on the Ari zona and New Mexico Railway for Lordsburg, so as to connect with the Southern Pacific for Tucson.

At the close of the great trial it was believed that the end had been reached, but on the strength of newly discovered evidence the case is again to be opened up and the liberties of he late defendants once more placed in jeopardy.

Of course it would be idle and impolitic to predict the out come of the next trial, but it is under stood that the case is to he as vigorously prosecuted and as stubbornly defended as when first before the court.

Sheep-herding beef eaters are becoming very idinrp now a days in hiding I heir work They kill a steer, strip he hide from one-half the carcass, cut all the meat from the- bones on the side skinned, turn the animal over so that the side unskiuned will be uppermost and have the appearance of having been unmolested Any one riding the range, coming across the carcass, would naturally think the animal had dL'd a natural death, but if they re to take the trouble to investigate a little more closely, would find that half the hide, as well tis half Ihe meat was gone. A mayordomo for a large sheepman in New Mexico, said to these gentlemen, in speaking of the case of Brown and Carr, charged with killing one of.

Judge Pratt's cattle, that they were fools and that he always killed his beef in the brush that if any one should ride up on him while he was engaged in the job, that he would try to kill the man. We have no doubt the fellow told the truth, and that he did, and would do, just as he said. St. Johns Herald. The Optic, of Las Vegas, New Mexico, prints the following truthful item "Oh, lie is only a barkeeper." How little some people think, when they make use of such expressions as the above, "Only a barkeeper." Do you ever stop to think that "only a barkeeper" has a heart just the same as yours? Do you know that he is made from the same kind of dust that made you? That the cry of want rings in his ears just as loudly as in yours, and that his heart responded just as quickly as yours to help his fellow man? Let an unfortunate mortal, man or woman, come to that point in life where alms are to be asked, and we would send them just as quickly to "only a barkeeoer," as to your crowded churches, and be as sure of a helping hand."
