A MUSEUM IN STRANGE PLACE
Sheriff Boulder, having been informed 10y
one of the prisoners in the Jail that another
one of them had an old AK hid under one
of the cells, procured crow bal and took
out the bars from the small apertures that
were left in the wall for the purpose of
ventilating the space underneath the cells,
and gave them thorough exploration.
He was much surprised to find an old AK,
a rusty file about fifteen inches long, aud
piece Of oak plank, about four feet long,
which had evidently been used by the per.
sons who laid out the foundation of the
Jail, as it had been sharpened for the pur-
pose of driving it into the ground. The
plank had a number of notcbcs in il, which
had been recently cut for the purpose, as is
supposed, Of tying rope or something Of
that kind to it aud throwing it over the
wall around the Jail yard, so as to afford
the means of escape. \ number of cubical
about one inch square, were also found
underneath one of the cells. What use
they were designed for is hard to divine.
but the use of the AK and the file can
readily be comprehended and the wonder is
that those who obtained them did not use
them more successfully.

TEMPERANCE EvANGEL:sTs. The two
temperance evangelists, Messrs. Brown and
Thayer, who held forth in the court house
yard about six weeks ago, seem to have
been no more reliable than their predeces-
sors. During their sojourn in this town
they boarded with Mr. Hinson, the proprie-
tor of the Dashaway Hotel, where they
contracted bill Of about $50. When they
left here, Mr.. ilinson very kindly took
their due bill for only SEQ. which amount
they promised to remit in short time
lie has waited patiently for about a month,
in hope that they. or Col. Hyatt. of Ches-
ter, who. they informed him, would see
the bill paid, or would send him the money,
but he has not yet heard from either the
evangelists or the Colonel. Should this
paragraph meet the eyes of either of them.
he hopes they will respond without further
delay.
Honest people, who have any respect FOR
themselves or for the temperance cause,
would do well to be cautious about encour-
aging many Of the lazy, blathering tramps
who perambulate the country, and under
the guise Of temperance lecturers, succeed
in this way in getting good living that they
are too lazy tn earn III an honest manner.
Unfortunately for the temperance cause.
but few OF any other kind of temperance
lecturers have visited Elkton for some time
past; but much To the credit Of the temper
ance people of the town they received but
little encouragement here.

BASE BALL.-This interesting sport was
participated in by the Elkton and Cherry
Hill clubs, on the formers ground, on Sat
urday afternoon last. The Cherry Hill club,
which is composed of a finely developed set
of fellows, was on the grounds at an early
hour, eager for the game to commence, for
they fully expected to carry of the laurels
ON this occasion as they had done on the
Saturday before on their own grounds with
picked nine from this town that paid them
visit But this time they met the regu-
lar Elkton team, which had determined to
.etIieve the prestige the club had lost the
week before. Cannon and Marshall, the
regular pitcher and catcher of the Elkton
club, were on hand to play in their posi-
tions.
All the players having assembled, the
game at 3 O'Clock. was commenced with
the Elkton boys at the bat. The first in.
ming gave the Eikton club coed send off,
the inning closing with seven runs. Then
came the Cherry Hill team To the bat, and
their first inning ended with but one run,
and it was made by batsman who "struck
out" but the catcher failed TO catch the
ball or put the runner out before he reached
and then it was only knocked to the pitcher,
who threw it TO first base and put the run
ner out. The Elkton boys came in again
and added about the same number of runs
to their score. The visitors came in and
took up the bat with the expectation. no
doubt, Of making number of runs. bat,
as in the first inning, they were retired in
one, two, three order.
And IN this manner the game was PLAYED
throughout. Cannon's pitching was too
much for them, for in all the innings that
followed. they were unable to strike his
balls. The Eikton BOYS succeeded in strik-
ing the Cherry Hill pitchers balls so sue
cessfully that, at the termination Of the
game, they had run their score mp to thir.
ty-three; while the Elktonians kept their
opponents score down to fire runs, which
was not relished at all 10y the visitors. who
grumbled good deal because the Elkton
club had two players from Wilmington
Cannon and Marshall.
We understand the Cherry Hill club is
very DESTROYS of playing a nine exclusively
selected from this town. as they attribute
their defeat wholly to the two Wilmington
players. Their desires should be gratified.
Poor fellows, they were terribly damned on
this occasion.
Mr.. X. e. Thackery satisfactorily um-
pired the game.

The weekly Arizona miner., 1878-09-06
THE AGE OF SILVER.

J. H. Mckee, who accompanied psrty of scientific gentlemen to the Santa Rits mines, in Southern Arizona, writes the fol lowing to the Los Angeles Herald:
 "The Russell mine, which has four old shafts-evidences of ancient workings-is ( marvel in richness and beauty of ore. In 6 new shaft now being sunk, at depth of 24 feet it displays massive vein of high gra0s ore, black sulphurets, assaying as high as 2,460 to the ton. The looe is true fiss- ure, with perfectly formed walls of porphy. ritic granite.
 ssThe St. Louis mine, which receives the junction of two immense lodes-The Elm. press of India and the General Craig-is a new mine, but is developing massive vein of wonderful richness. It IS also a true Assure iu the same formation as the BusheIl A shaft of the same dimensions as the Bushell is being sunk on the vein, and al the depth of 23 feet the most satisfactory results have already been obtained The ore is abundant and will mill $s0 to $l00 to the ron-a better yield than the average Comstock ever furnished. These two mines are under the management of incorporated companies from the 1oltec Syndicate.
 "History confirms the statement that sil- yer mining is the most permanent af any species of mining, and as that is TOW de- veloping so extensively not only in Arizona but in our nelghUoring mountains beyond Santa Ana, we are not extrayagant in assu- ming that a glorious era is just now draw ing upon us. Our own city of Los Ange- les-than which no place in America furn- ishes finer climate for residence-is des- tined to be the grand center of wealth and residence of successful men in Arizona and Southern California. Railroaus from both grest oceans wlll soon meet and pass on to the silver fields of Arizons, but having their western termini proper in this city, so that with all our drawbacks from the droufh and hard times, we are destined in the near future to reap the rewards of pros- perity in degree hitherto little dreamed off
