A Voice from the Tombs.
TOMBSTONE MINING DISTRICT,

PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA. May The intelligent reader of this article will no doubt pause and question to himself whence this sepulchlral name. But if the reader willlprospect in these hills for week or two, his attention will be attracted to sundry little mounds at the bead of each of which is a cross, he will readily observe the propriety of the name and wonder if those renegade Apaches are liable to happen around this way again.
 The mines in. this vicinity are re- markedly rich and are a most valuable acquisition to the mineral wealth of the Territory. The credit of this dis cOvery is due to Mir E. L. Sheffelin, one of the best and most invincible prospectors on the coast. He stood by the country after others had condemn ed il, found rich float, traced it up, and today he and his associates hold fair share of some of the rich est and most desirable mining proper ty ever discovered. NIT. E. l.. Scheffe- lin is associated with his brother AL bert E. Scheffelin and MT Richard Gird Both Of these gentlemen are we'll and favorably known throughout the Territory. MT. Gird particularly so, as an expert, sssayer and mining engineer
 The other parties holding claims in the district are Mir. T. E. Walker and Messrs. Williams, Boyer and Hart The district has been pretty thorough ly tramped over by expert prospectors and the universal opinion they have arrived at is, that the formation con taining the rich ore is all concentrated in one point which is entirely absorb ed into the present locations which string along in the neighborhood of eight miles. state this for the ben eft of not over jealous prospectors who do not like to go on fools errands where water is scarce. I wish in a modest kind of way. to place the mer- its of this new district before the pub lie.
 The ledge formations are clearly de- fined and are very uniform in width The richest ore is heavy lead ore which assays in the neIghborhood of 5000. All of the ore is we'll plaStered with horn silver and rich chlorides, and carries a large percentage of gold. Traces of a metal new to this section of country, supposed to be telluriums, have been discovered.
 Prospecting parties are numerous in the vicinity and Indians and water are scarce. These parties are paying the Dragons and Huachucas a fair share of their attention and report their finds or failures with correspond ing joy or sorrow.
 Before closing I will describe the locus and boundaries of our infant dis trict, commencing at the old ruins on the Rio San Pedro about twenty miles above the upper crossing, it extends east to the Dragons and north to fine Mule mountains. The San Pedro com poses the western boundary line.

LETTERS from ConstantinOple state that when General Grant was there, recently, the Sultan insisted upon Grants selecting from his horses one as a present, being assured by the Sultan's Minister of War that if he did not accept the gift His Majesty would
 be much displeaset. The General selected a dapple- gray, superb in form and having a step that would light with admiration the eye of any cavalier. The caparisons were brought out, and the horse, in splendid attire, was for mally presented to General Grant.

TURPENTnNE VS.. YELLOW FEVER.
To the Editor of the Democrat:

TO the Editor of the Democrat:
read with much interest this morning the
published report of the proceedings Of the
Board of Health, and especially that portion
relating to turpentine as dstnfectant ana de-
OdOrizer,
I was the more impressed by 1t because. con-
versing recently with q number OF house
painters whose reckless exposure during the
most torrid days of last August had excited my
wonder they asserted that painters. actively en-
gGged never took the yellow fever. They at.
tributed the immunity enjoyed by members OF
their craft to the disinfecting property Of tur-
pentine, and seemed 70 have no fear OF con-
tracting the disease. though several OF them
were unacclimated, or, at least. had never had
the fever. ~
It would be interesting and perhaps import
ant, now, that so eminent an authority as the
microscopist OF the Department OF Agriculture
has spoken in such high erms of tulpentine to
have the subject of the immunity OF painters
from yellow fever examined into,
The painters referred to above worked almost
every day during last month. and from the time
they began In the morning until they knocked
off in the evening. their clothing was almost
| continuously wringing wet with perspiratlon
| They wore their wet. garments while eatine
| lunch. and occasionally slept in them lying
prone upon the grass underneath shade trees
| and yet not one of them was sick a day or al
| hour. Perhaps the reporters Of the DEMOCRAT
with their usual diligence and enterprise, vii
| look into the matter and either exnl ,ds ol
verify the theory of these painters. TURFs'

Movements I'm Liverpool I'm Aid Of yellow
Fever sufferers,
In response to the following roQuisition, the
Mayor OF Liverpool. England called meeting
of the citizens of that town on the twenty
eighth ultimo. to consider the matters therein
ret forth and devise means to relieve the suffer-
ing in the fever-jnfected sections of the South:
To the Worshipful the Mayor'of Liverpool:
Dea, tSir-Cable information from New Or
leans reports intense suffering from yellow
fever amongst destitute sick b ack and white,
estimated at 400 daily end that the epidemic Is
spreading over the lower Mississippi valley.
TO relieve these destitute persons money Is
needed in the payment of doctors and nurses,
and for the purchase of medical stores, bed
ding. etc. and 1t is Of the utmost Importance
that relief should be immediate, hs the disease
can only be checked If taken In, its earliest
stages.
In view of the large trade relations, between
this port and the United States. we think 1t MP
propriate that heln of this description should
be sent to these sufferers: and we therefore beg
to request you to convene meeting or gentle.

may be deemed g. appropriate We remain dear
