TOMBSTONE NOTES.
From The Nugget, December III

From The Nugget, December IL
 Mayor Harwood's message to the new council is an excellent piece of good sense.
 A man named Frank J. Pick, afflict ed with "tremens," shot himself al Charleston on the 5th instant.
 The Nugget says the Hartford Dis 'trict is not organized. It is mistake THE CITIZEN published the organiza. tion some time since.
 More rich ore has been found in the Silver Cloud region, and as the coun- try has been tramped over a great deal before, some wonder IS expressed at the oversight.
 Arrangements are about completed for the starting of stage line between thIs place and Patagonia, an enterprise that will meet with liberal patronage Stock is already or hand here for the line, and will commence running in a few days.
 The extension of the Globe and Tres Alamos mail route will be made to .0hnesOrgen's station on the San Pedro and there connect with the new Tomb stone and Tucson stage line. Buck boards will be placed upon the route at once and perhaps are running at the present time.
 Attractions in the Tough Nut mine have been increasing within the past few days. Ore of the very richest kind has been asaIn found, which as says up into the thousands. As they open up, no matter whether in cuts or shafts, the richness of the mine in creaseS. Without doubt the mine is turning out far beyond the expecta- tions of its owners. l. is the richest mine yet developed in this District.

From HriY1cd.

We were shown on Thursday some very handsome specimens of ore from the Longarend and Silver'Qucen mines situated in the Arivaca District. The specimens were brought up by MT. J. w. Kennedy, foreman of the Longar- ena, who arrived in town by coach
 last evening. The shaft on the Lon garena is down 100 feet, and one on the Silver Queen is down IS feet, with IS inches of very high grade ore showing native silver, silver glance and chlor- ides. Both Arivaca and Orc Blanco Districts are developing nicely, and now is the time to secure titles for mining speculations as the boom B will drift in that direction before long.

A friend writing from Washington says there is an apparently proper wish for the establishment, in connection with some one of the Departments, of a mining or mineral bureau. The call comes now from the older states in which gold and other mines exist, but the greater order and stability which would everywhere be introduced will commend the scheme to miners every where. Great interest is felt by all in the experimental lighting of portions of the Capitol by electricity. The hall of the House will not, at present, be supplied with the light, as the inventor is not wholly satisfied with his work But it is believed that not much time will elapse before the whole vast build ing will have its only light from cleo tricity.

MACK MORRIS is in St. Louis, his old home, with his $1OO,OOO, and thus en- lightened a" Republican reporter, on the subject of shipping ore to San Francisco from Globe District:
 What did it cost to ship ity"
 About $I50 per ton. Then it cost $500 to $500 for having it worked, all though l, myself, have paid S1100. The ayerage.price however, is $500.
 What is an average yield per ton for good ore?"
 !" First class ore will yield an average of $2139 to the ton.
 What would be the profit on a ton of that sort of ore"
 About 5000. The last ton of ore removed from my mine yielded $7S00.
 As may be supposed the general tendency of Mack's interview was to " boom the mining business.

4 Correction.

We had occasion a few days since tC quote some very queer remarks con cerning some Arizona mining proper ties, made in the Engineer and Mining Journal, and it seems the same sort oi thing is to be kept up. But here is an item from the last issue which we feel like correcting. The Journal says:
 The Esperanza, an Arizona mine which, we understand is being offered in the East, was recently purchased by MT. James and others for $2000 on a bond. Our correspondent adds, "The parties who sold the property are good judges of mine"
 The Esperanza transaction Is SC welLknown here that the item quoted will only be laughed at. We correct as follows:
 The Esperanza is not being offered in the East, further than that the hold, CTS of the bond are arranging for the money to take up the bond if they conclude to purchase the mine.
 As to the price to be paid for the mine, the bond is on record in the Re corder's office and the price there named is $30OOO.
 The sum of 5000 was paid as bo-  nus for working bond.
 The bond was made on the 20th day of August, for ninety days, and imme- diately thereafter Col. James went to work to prospect the property. The principal shaft is down 115 feet, and in all over 300 feet of work has been done at a cost of between $6000 and $7000. The bond is not yet run out nor is the work completed; and it is understood between the parties that time will be given, if needed, for the completion of nearly as much work, with, of course, the expenditure of nearly as much more money.
 The evident intention of the item is to give the impression that the Esper anzs was purchased for $20O0, and thats the parties who sold the mtne, being good judges, sold it for price which would not pay for prospect two days old. We are asserting noth- ing as to the value of the property; it may be good or not. One thing is cer- tain, however, we know of no property here, on which more time and money has been spent to determine whether it is valuable. And while men are, as we believe, in good faith, trying to settle that question, and are spending their own money therefor, we say to

The Alaska mine, in Orc Blanco dis trict is one of the Orion Company's mines and is developing in the most encouraging manner. The main shaft is now down 175 feet iii a vein of rich, black metal, in formation which in dicates a true Assure vein. The Orion Company is a wealthy Philadelphia corporation, operating on private cap ital for legitimate results, and it is with pleasure that we note their en- couraging prospects.

Ar the request of the City Trustees Col. Scott agrees to return to San Di ego one half of the land years ago granted to the Texas Pacific Company as soon as any other company shall have finished 100 miles of railroad eastward from that city. There will probably be extensive litigation over the matter, as the San Diegans want all the lands.

DIED.
 Mrs. AbbIe A. French, wife Of Chief Jus fleet French, died at a quarter past two o'clock this morning, al Troy, New York.
 Duriug her brief residence in Tucson Mrs. French endeared herself greatly to a large circle four best people, and became known as a lady Of The most sterling qusl- tiles. IL was, therefore, with profound joy that the news was received some months since that she had been permanently re- lieved from the malady which had attack ed her-cancer. But the hopes Of friends were vain, and it Is now only some two months sIucs it was announced that the disease had returned In a probably hope less form. Since that time she has stead fly declined.
 This community, recognizing the fact that good woman, wife and mother, has gone, will extend its utmost sympathy to those whose ties Of relationship will make them feel the loss most keenly.

THAT living they would be victorious
Or that diving their deaths should be glorious"

THE SiIrer State is responsible for the fol-
lowing 'grasshopper' narrative: "a tender
foot named Thomas Glendenning is at work
for John Guthrie on the Sonoma ranch in
Grass Valley. Sunday he went prospecting
in the mountains above the ranch, and re-
turned in the evening very much excited
When questioned as to the cause of his agi-
taton, he replied that he had seen grasshop-
pers in the hills three times as large as his
thumb, which Guthrie assures us is as big as
an ordinary baby's foot. Unlike the boy who
said he heard thousand cats, but on being
closely questioned he admitted that he only
saw two, the emigrant wouldn't reduce the
size of the hoppers, and the boys at the ranch
are in doubt as to whether his 'grasshoppers'
are jack rabbits or young coyotes.

Miss FANNIE EDWARDS of New York and
Exilda LaChapelle of Chicago are exciting
much interest in San Francisco. They are
pair of attractive pedestrians, who are walking
for total distance of l, 200 miles, to be COM
pleted in thirty days So far, each have an
equal power of endurance, and the betting is
becoming quite spirited. The ladies are never
on the track together, and do not love each
other more dearly than rival music teachers
prima donas are apt to, and there is no prob
ability of growing attachment, especially on
the part of the one who does not win the

August, 1873. At twelve minutes past II
o'clock the drop fell, dislocating the necks Of
both men. The body of Dye gave few con
vulsive witches, but Anderson was motion
less. After hanging fourteen minutes, the
men were pronounced dead. There was a
post-mortem examination of Dyes body, to
ascertain whether his brain was diseased.
The physicians decided that it was in a per
fectly healthy condition Each of them leaves

the slumbering spirit of Right, though latent
for years, and even centuries, has always
come forth and has proved to be invincible,
so the slumbering spirit of the nation proved
more than equal to the materialistic chivalry
of those who opposed the Government. We
contend that the soldiers who fought for or
died for the Union of these States are worthy
of all the honors we can bestow. The Spartan
valued not the soldier who returned not with
his shield, but highly valued him who re-
turned upon it as his bier. And those whose
memory We honor and whose graves we dec
crate to day are as the dead Spartan, who re-
turned upon his shield. Yes greater STILL still
greater, as is our continent, the home of
Liberty and the asylum of the oppressed,
supremacy greater than all the Grecian Isles.
We never knew, and history does not re-
cord the lesson, that any nation in the past
has ever honored those who fought against
its honor or its life. And are we less than
theyl To hold liberty and country of so little
value that we can afford to cast it to the winds7
Friends, countrymen, my fellow citizens, we
tell you NO. No responds the mother
from the lonely Preside. Twas not for this
my country, gave you my jewels, my sons,
the treasures of my heart and home! No!
thousand times no. responds the manned and
broken soldier. Twas not for this | sacrificed
my all on earth, to fndmy future path in life
strewn DER with withered garlands and paved
with desolate hopes. From every battlefield
upon COlumbias soil, strewn with the bones
of her children offered a sacrifice to the Union
and libarty, there arises mighty and indig
nant NO. And so to-day we meet to honor
those to whom we owe our country's life.
Although We have no spark of hate; no feel
ing of malignancy, naught but 60 charity to
all, we still must and shall remember that
we who stand here to-day, and you, members
of the Grand Army of the Republic, that you
are the defenders of that Union and that Lib
erty, consecrated by the blood of your COM
rades who fell upon the field of battle, who
swore
THAT living they would be victorious
Or that diving their deaths should be glorious"
1t is your duty, and under God it should
be your privilege to bequeath this Union to
those who shall come after you, unstained,
unstainabe By the convulsed
lips of the assassinated, dying Lincoln, the
high priest of Liberty, | con jure you to stand
by, protect and defend, the National unity
the Government and its laws.
