TAILINGS.

A new discovery has been lately made by Jack Moore, of which we have had some thing to say, near the south end of Brad shaw mountains, about 213 miles east of the old Humbug Camp 10 or l2 miles from Jack Swillings camp on the Agua Fria, in a very rough and inaccessible neighborhood with. out any roads for wagons, but having a very good trail. This is ledge carrying vein of fine milling silver ore showing large amount of horn silver. The vein at the bot tom of the B foot shaft showed a width of S inches of solid metal C. P. Head is said to be the principal owner with Jack Moore, and 1t is said that locations to the extent of 5000 feet all showing mineral have been taken up on the ledge. MT. Mitchell, Jack Swilling and others have lodges in the vicin- ity which assay high up in the thousands. First assay went 3,6o0; asays are said to have been made as high as 5000 to Sl2,OOO. If what is asserted concerning this district prove true it will soon excel any other district in the Territory.
 The smelter on the east fork of the Hassa- yampa in Crook Canyon, is said to be nearly and is of 3-ton capacity.
 Several parties are now out prospecting for leads to supply the various smelters with that very necessary fiux, lead, which is com- ing into great demand in this neighborhood.

WALEIsTs.-Saturday was a hot day at
 Camp Verde, but despite the heat, in
 the afternoon, when the mercury had
 stretched itself out to 11O . in the shade,
 two renowned pedestrians started on a three
 mile walk, while the evsporating inhabi-
 tants of the Garrison were trying to keep
 cool under two feet of water At D. m.,
 when every old can and broken bottle, that
 adorns the periphery of the track, radiated
 light and heat, the word s1Gor' was given, and the men started in rapid walk, sweat
 ing at every porc,-the first mile-post was passed with the Small Man" two lengths ahead d;--time, 20 minutes and 50 seconds.
 Both men now settled down to their work in earnest, and pushed in for the second miie-pole, through an atmosphere of pow dered alkali ;-'Small Mans face bathed in precipitation, and sardonic smiles s;-"Stout Party" moist, and the color of lobster. Striking down-grade, the Stout Psrty'' sherfens the gap. Second mile-post passed, with the ''Small Man" not quite a lenptb ahead ;-time, 2 minutes 39 seconds. On for the home stretch-both men show signs of fatigue,--Stout party breathing heavily. On passing the halfmile stick, the butten- hole of Small mans" paper collar gave way, and in his frantic endeavors to get the ends ip juxtaposition, .Stout Party' got ahsad, and led the race until the A-pole was passed, when his -gallus buftonsn give way, which somewhat retarded his steps, by the slipping down of his pants. Small | Man" comes up pulling like two-horse power engine. and looking as if he had | been caught in . water-spout, and the two pass the Smile pole neck and neck ;-time, s4 minutes. Here both men were taken from the track, to the bottom of beer vault to be rubbed down with gunny- sack, and. Irrigated with lager. We under stand they are to walk in two weeks, from Verde to Prescott, for $500 snd the Cham. 'ionshiP of the Territory. Ai-g

There appears to bea thieving spirit abroad
 m this latitude just now, and it behooves
 people to keep watch on their property. It
 is evident that the thieves are not all of the
 same class some are enterprising enough to
 indulge in horse flesh, and are somewhat par ticular as to the grade of stock they invest in; some go for money, while others arc greveling enough to descend to small things
 as, for instance, the stealing of max.
 The parties committed for horse stealing, an account of which we publish in another place, were either great bunglers in the pro- fession or else only part of their scheme has been revealed. It is suggested that their be- ing lost away from the road and returning to town was only ruse to let the officers run by them in order to give them chance to make fresh start and get away, perhaps after the chase was given up and all had re- turned; in which case the horses must have gotten away from them, as it is not likely they would have turned them loose unless they really intended to abandon them. At all events, it will be we'll enough to keep look out for others, and in case there is an organized band, of which this was only part, let them be ''nipped in the bud"
 In the ease of tho man who stole the money in the Mogoilons, the story of his having lost package containing over six thousand dollars in coin seems little thin, and people are inclined to believe that, badly as it is lost, he may be able to find it after the ex- eitement blows over, and his nerves become more quiet by reason of the absence of off, eial surveillance
 Doc Tompkins lost an ax tho other day, and on finding it at Cheap Johns store, where the thief had sold it, he found the cul- | prit and administered to him a horsewhip- | ping. So that case is settled It is not likely | he had any partners in his speculation in fact he seems to have chosen small busi- | ness so that he could handle it himself.

Special to the Miner by U. s. Military and V. D. Lnssl

St Louis, July 29-The Globe Demo
 crat's special from Leavenworth gives what seems to be an exaggerated account ot Crooks battle with the Sioux. Fry, Post Sutler at Camp Sheridan has arrived at Sid
 ney and says friendly chief brought word to Camp Sheridan last Wednesday that Gen. eral Crook suffered defeat on Goose Creek, but the date of this battle Is not given. He says Crook lost nearly 300 and was driven across the creek under a terrible fire. The
 fight was more like slaughter than a bat tle He further states that the Indians are elated and intend to drive the Military to the Black Hills, clean out all the northern agencies and all the stations on the U. P. R. R.

NATHAN MILL CHANGED HANDs.-Hugo Richards, Geo. w. Bowers and Clark Wilson on "Wednesday became the purchasers of the Aztlan quartz mill, on Groom's creek, for the sum of six thousand dollars. The mill has changed hands, and the new proprietors have contracted with the Peck Silver Mining Company to work 200 tons of second-class ore for fifty dollars per ton. Should this ore yield anything like the sample on which they are now engaged, say $500 per ton, and it is more likely to go over $500, the compa- ny may confidently expect sl00,OO0 as a re- suit, and the mill will, of course, earn SlO,- OO0, less the expense of running, chemicals, etc. This may read something like the story of the milk-maid, but in this case the milk ing is already done and no chance to spill it, besides there is no risk of the eggs becoming added; they must hatch, and the only difi- culty to be apprehended is in rearing the chickens and putting them into market.

Tho press IL arranging, according 10
the views OF respective editors, a tablet
of the prospective electoral vote. We
have looked over many OF these states
with some care, and find none quite so
satisfactory as that OF the New Orleans
BMetin That paper arranges the fly
ures as follows:
The States which are reasonably
sure TO vote for the Democratic candl-
date, Without reference to sectional
consideration are the following; Ala
bama 10 votes, Arkansas q, Delaware
3, Florida 4, Georgia II Kentucky II,
Maryland 3, Mississippi 8, Missouri 10,
North Carolina 10, Tennessee ., Texas
s, Virginia IL, West Virginia g.
These States give total OF ~ cleo
ioral votes The total number Of votes
in the electoral college IL 800, or If Col
orado votes, 800. A majority Of 3GO Is
lSl, and of 800 II il 1856. IL IL best to
assume that the latter number Will he
required. Hence, IN addition TO the
States named above, the Democratic
candidate must get " electoral votes.
II he carry Louisiana he would need
only 81. But then he might lose Mis-
sissippi, and II Is safer not to calculate
on more from the South than the 1913
already mentioned. From what States Of
the North are we to look for the ~ add
tional votes? 1t IL safe TO assume that
n greenback candidate could not carry
New York, or New Jersey, or Connec-
ticut; hence such a candidate would
have to rely for election on the West
ern vote. An Eastern man, say Gov
ernor Tllden, would be reasonably
sure to carry New York, 80 votes,
New Jersey 8, Connecticut q, Califor-
MIA o, Oregon 3, aud Nevada 8. All of
these States are Democratic according
to the latest returns, except New Jer-
sey, which, last year, elected Repub-
lican legislature, but which may, new
ertheless, be relied on to vote for Til
den, II that gentleman should be he
Democratic candidate.
These States give sixty-two votes,
exactly the number required. Gould n
Western candidate, nominated to give
expression to Western financial ideas,
command sufficient strength In the
Mississippi Valley States to make up
for the loss of New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut ? That is the ques-
ton. If it can be satisfactorily an
swered, we shall be much indebted to
any one that will furnish the informa-
ton. s

M.asma Rendered Powerlcss.

The most certain way to render powerless
tile miasmatic yapors which produce chills
and fever and other malarious disorders, Is
to fortlfy the system against them with that
matchless preventive of perlodlc levers, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. The remedial OPP
GRAFTON OF the Bitters is no less certain than
their preventive effects, and they may be re-
lied upon to overcome cases OF fever and
ague which resist quinine and the mineral
remedies Of the pharmac0pmla. Dyspepsia,
constipation, bilious complaints, rheumatic
ailments ana general debility, likewise,
rapidly yield to their regulative and tonic
influence. They ARE an incalculnble bless.
ing to the weak and nervous OF both sexes,
an excellent family medicine, and the best
safeguard which the traveller or emigrant
can u &c to an unhealthy climate.
