 MR. J. B. RICHARDS, a gentleman oi large experienced in mining affairs through out the Pacific coast and thorough metaliurgist, came fin from Tom bstone by last stage and to-day left for San Fran cisco and New York. He spent two months Tn Myers District south Of Gila Bend. and several In Tombstone. He brought the most cheering news from Tombstone District in general and also from the Tough Nut, Lucky Cuss, Conten- ton. Sunset, old Guard and a number ot mines about which but little has been said. He went to Tombstone out Of cu- rlosity and has decided 10 link his for tunes with 1t for the future. He says he has never seen such remarkable develop men:s Of high grade ores with this i'm pOrtant feature, viz: that development only increases the certain value Of the lodes. He has for many years been as- soclated with capitalists in New York, some Of whom are now interested in Mo have mines. He says the next shipment Of Tombstone bullion will be larger than any previous one. and that it is finer and contains more gold. The last bars assay ed run above 900. and several Of them 96O 10 970 and upwards, and that the gold is Increasing in quantity. the last bars run out containing from Sl6O upwards. He re- gards the Tough Nut as true vein with perfect walls, and there Is no fear of It's failing. The Lucky Cuss seems to have three veins with 1ne prospects and will. undoubtedly supply the new l5-stamp mill with ore that will average i-om slOO to s2OO per ton. There are now over 800 tons out. On the Old Guard and Sunset there are 200 and 300 tons respectively on the dumps. MT. R. says the district Is simply surprising to Q conservative and experienced mining man.

 May II, 1879, Charles Meyers was killed at Ewell Springs, and letters before us show that the deed was com mitted by Pat. Cannon. One of the letters is signed by I. E. Brannick, Aleck. McLachlaw and Wm. F. Bennett and the other by J. B. Brannlck. Both were written May l2.

A prominent man at Bowie sends these letters to the District Attorney Of this county saying Cannon ought tO be rearrested, as the ex- animation of him at the time Of the kill ing was "a farce Of an affair" In accord ance with the request a warrant has been issued, and before this writing Cannon Is probably arrested and on hls way to Tue sen for another examination.
 THEo. F. WHITE and family and Mrs. Morse and child ieft to-day for their new homes south Of Bowie In the Chiricahua country; MT. Morse having business at Huachuca will go that way, leaving here tomorrow. These good women hardly realize that they are going with their It, tie children where but a couple Of years ago, hostile Apaches held almost com plete sway. That section is now filling up with industrious men and women; lum- mines and cattle men on the fine pastur- age ranges.
