The weekly Arizona miner., 1878-11-01

Ehrenberg this morning ana uhiodueu a. the stores of Bowen, Knowles & Co, and ". NJ. Buffum. George has good outht of mules and makes about the best time oi any freighter on the road.
 St James & Dawes have started up store at Tiptop, with full supply of miners supplies. The Tiptop is lively camp ana these gentlemen, we imagine, can haroiy fail to make a good thing out of their new departure.
 FoR JrsTIcE OF THE PEACE.-Judge Ii IT Cartier announces himself in this issue 1 or the MINER, as candidate for re-elec- tion to the office of Justice. The Judge has filled the office very acceptably to the neonle. and will doubtless succeed hlmseli without much effort. Who the other can didates are to be, does not yet appear, and as we are entitled to three Justices ln t1lS nrecinct. it is about time they were lettlne themselves be known as candidates.
 sHoor1se.-John Taylor of Alexandra, and James Miles, of Prescott, had mis- understauding this morning at the bit saloon of B. A. Smith, when a little promiscuous shooting was indulged in. Eleven shots were fired in all and no one hurt, although q number of persons were on the streets at the time. The parties in the tracas were arrested and taken before Justice Cate. Tavlor was acquitted on the grounds that bo was acting in self defense. Miles waived an examination and was held to arswer in the sum of $l,000, which he readily gave. The case will come oeIore the Grand Jury.
 Political matters have simmered down considerably during the past few days ln this town. All hands arc taking rest giving their lungs chance to gain strength 1 for the coming event, which takes place one week fiom tomorrow. As 1t now LOOKS, Davis will have an easy victory over Camp bell in the county with Woolsey second Tn the race. In Maricopa county, Woolsey will get large majority of the votes poiled, Dayls coming in second. The same can be said of Pinal. Pima will give Stevens a majority. Davis second with Woolsey and Camnbeli about a tie. Yuma will give Woosey small majority or at least a stand of with the other three candidates: Mohave will go for Davis strong, Campbell next. It is evident to our mind that wool sey will be Arizona's next Delegate.

 BLACKBURN AND WATTE.-Deputy Sheriff N. P. Pierce, accompanied by Mir. l.. Pierce, from whom Blackburn and his companion, Waite, stole horse and mule, followed the | trail fthe above named CO., partners, through mountains and valleys until they caged them at the residence of Mir. George Jackson, at Walnut Grove, where they had stopped to rest and feed their horses. They were easily cap tured and returned to Prescott. Blackburn | feigBs insanity since his capture and return. Deserting wife and five destitute children is enough to drive almost any reasonable person to insanity, but Blackburn doesn't think much obout the neglected family, II is some one else that troubles the boy. Blackburn and Waite will probably be held to answer for robbery.
 al have bad cold" has been a common reply to salutations for the past few weeks and the prevalency of that particular dis. ease amongst us has ceased to create much comment, but rather accepted as legiti- mate and matter-of-course annoyance The number of persons afflicted with catarrh or chronic cold in the head is alarmingly 7 great, and the demand for the different pa tented medicines for its cure has usually exceeded the supply in this market. How ever, for the past week, the weather has assumed settled and even tenor that has apparently dissipated the annoying disease of its worst features, and instead of tears
 we are again greeted with smiles by oul oft afflicted friends. May the change prove
 permanent, and those pale and emaciateo cheeks which we have become used to look upon change to their wonted fullness and bear that impress which health alone car impart.
 | AssEssMENT.-As will be seen by a notice elsewhere in the MINER, the Tiger Mining Company have levied assessment number two, of $1 on each share of said stock. We presume that it is for the purpose of raising funds for the thorough developing of the Tiger mine before erecting reduction works At a meeting of the directors, recently, in San Francisco, we understand they deci- ded to run shaft down to the depth of 500 or 1000 feet, and to that end the Su- perintendent, Mir. Helm, purchased the re- quisite machinery fer hoisting the ore and water from the mine. It is evident that they mean to work their mine in business manner, and not subject themselves to the chances of failure, ss is very often the case with mining corporations who go on and erect extensive reduction works before knowing whether they have mine or a "prosDect
