TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.

We make the following extracts from
letter written by Sam Danner, a former
weil-known resident of Phoebe, to Ed.
Pierson. 1t is dated Tombstone District,
Arizona. March 9Th, and says:
I came to this place in Deosmber last
and found it to be rich mineral camp
more ore in sight than ever I saw in any
one camp before. The lodges are large
and rich in silver and gold, and there is
no doubt but what it will be thriving
camp. There are two mills going up
here one to run by water and the other
steam. There are only two saw mills in
the country, and as they are engaged in
cutting lumber for the quartz mills it ia
hard to get stick Of lumber at present.
What We do get we have to pay for it at
the rate of $125 per thousand feet. Plenty
of timber is to be had in places, it being
pine, oak and walnut. The saw.timber
is from thirty TO fifty miles from here.
but there is plenty of fre-wood within
ten miles of this place. II costs from 81
to $40 per cord. This is bran new
country, it being. only quite lately that
white people could get in here with safety
on account of the Apaches. but now these
Indians are kept on reservations by Uncle
Sam.
/ stopped,a week at Tucson, where /,
found Ben Hereford and his son Frank.
Ben is practicine law and Frank is clerk
ing for Lord & Williams, one of the larg-
est firms in Tucson. I also met Miss
Nellie eastman in Tucson; she IL run
ming the dining.room OF the Palace
Hotel. Tucson is the second Oldest
town in the United States and contains
about seven Thousand inhabitants. 1t is
built with adobes. in the old Spanish
style.
Tombstone is about seventy.fve miles
southeast of Tucson. Around Tomb
stone is a good grazing country; the best
I ever saw since the early days of Cali
fornia. The whole country is covered
with perpetual grass of the finest kind.
You can cut hay pretty nearly anywhere
for hundreds OF miles around. Tomb
stone is situated within thirty miles of
the Sonora line and about eight miles
from the San Pedro river. There are q
few rsnchers settling along the river.
The land is very rich and they can raise
anything they plant. 1t is splendid
country for stock; much preferable to
Nevada; and there is plenty OF game
such as deer, antelope. bear, turkey and
musk hogs.
The Southern Pacific is coming at the
rate Of two miles per day. I think within
six months the cars will be running into
Tucson. Tucson will be the great depot
for Southern Arizona. Sonora and New
Mexico. The road will come within a
few miles OF Tombstone, it having al
ready been surveyed for some distance
past here going east.
The distance from here to Phoebe is
about seven hundred miles, with stations
all along the road. The route to come
would be from Phoebe to Mineral Park,
Prescott. Phoenix. Florence and Tucson.
Major Fitzhugh is here, and many others
from Phoebe.

The Bankers DuuOItter.

On Saturday evening next there will
be presented at the Grand Opera House
The great success of the day, Bionson-
Howard's society drama of "The Bank
ker's Daughter" The company which
will present the play here is one of the
best in the country, and includes Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Walcot,
The New Haven Palladium says:
The success which has attended every
present alton of the "Banker's Daugh-
ter" was easily understood by those
who witne, sed the presentation IN the
Opera House last evening. Society
plays are usually well received, but the
reception of the play last evening was
exceedingly flattering aliSe to the au-
thor, the company, and the scenic artist.
There was nothing attending the enter
tainment which could be objected to By
the most critical. The cast of charac-
tiers was particularly fine one, and the
success of those who participated in the
duel scene was evident fiom the cries of
alarm which came from the ladies in
the audience while the challenger and
challenged were engaged with the
swords. There is much humor in the
play, and there were just enough fea-
lures of this kind to enliven the audi
tors when their sensibilities had been
brought to high pitch by the thrilling
passages of the presentation.

SECOND EDITION
Letter from Samuel T0aUnse nd.

Mr.. c. p. JOHNSON IL see in last
nights GAZETTE that Mr.. Powell took
the last remaining pill / sent to your
office for the prevention of hydrophobia.
Did you see Mr.. Powell take the pill, or
do yOu.know to certainty he swallowed
the pill whole? For If he took the pill
in the earlier stages he is the first person
l ever heard of who ever went mad, and
hun ireds of others in the lower part of
this county and in Cecil and Kent coun-
ties, Md, will attest TO the same.
SAMUEL TOWNSEND.
Townsend, Oct. Is, 1870.
We did not see Mr.. Powell take the
pill. He sent to us for one, and we sent
it to him with directions to take it whole
and at once. He called at the GAZETTE
office the next day, and was very CRATE
full for the pill-desiring to thank us for
it, when we told him he was indebted
to Mr.. Townsend for the pill, and If it
effected any good that gentleman would
feel amply compensated. He had, since
that time, been in the habit of talk
ing with people about the wound on his
finger. But we had never seen him or
spoken to him again. His attack and his
death were both sudden and sta tling.

This morning, Chief Engineer Fuller,
Of The p. w. u b. X. r., accompanied
by the Road Supervisors, left Pliladel-
phia on their annual inspection Of the
road bed. They rode on gondola cars,
pushed by an engine, and proceeded very
slowly In order to examine the road bed
critically at every point. This super
vision is made annually, with a view to
testing the capacity aud thoroughness OF
the section bosses along the line, who
are stimulated to constant exertions by
premiums of 500, $50 and $25, awarded
to those keeping the sections in the best
condition. The inspection train left
Wilmington at 1918 O'Clock, and will
reach Baltimore this afternoon. Yester-

d G CATCHER HUNT KILLS poo ON THE
CURB BTONE.


CURB BTONR.
Yesterday afternoon, between and D
O'clock, King street between Front aud
Second .treets was thrown into n sta'e 9 OF
excitement that seldom OCCURS IN thar
usually quiet neigbborhood. The ex-
citement was caused by the inhuman
manner In which q dog was put to
death
From what can be gleaned from those
who were witnesses of the affair, it ap-
pears that John Hunt, the dog catcher
was coming up King streets, and when
he arrived in front of the residence OF
q. ]. Boulden, No. 40 King street, he
saw small dog sitting on the steps, and
going up to 1t he picked the anima, up,
and catching It by the hind legs walked
tp the cub stone and dashed its bra ms
out. He then carried tho animal In a
bleeding condition down King street TO
the railroad, and from thence to the coal
yard ofJ. H. Turner, where he left IT.,
but subst Quently, Mr.. Turner compelled
him to remove the animal.
The canine was not registered, but the
residents assert that HINT should have
carried out the Urdihauce In regard to
dogs, which requires that before being
put to death, they shall be kept for twen'
ty-four hours. They also think that the
dog should have been killed in some
other manner, and not 70 biutally killed
before their very doors.
