Of May, during The absence OF Mr.. Shipley,
Knott made his appearance at the house and
gained admission to the room of his wife, who
was at the time very sick. Mrs. Shipley in
the absence of her husband fearing that some
harm was intended, sent for help to a neigh
boring farm, but before it arrived Mr. S. had
returned, and being informed that Knott was
in the house accosled him and wished TO know
his business there, stating that if nothing
wrong was meant he should behave himself
and remain. Upon this Knott, drawing a
revolver made an assault upon Shipley, who
retreated out of the room, closely pursued by
Knott, and getting hold Of gun shot his ns-
salant, causing death in few minutes.
Mr.. Shipey then sent for his neghbors and
a magistrate, who impanneled jury, and
after thorough investigation of the circum-

An Egter0rIsiB0 Firm.

About six months ago the now pop ular firm pf Pierce & Wood was first established in Tucson. They came to our city with no other recommenda- ton than their personal energy and integrity and opened, in a modest way, their business as wholesale and retail dealers in all kinds of fruit, country produce, butter, eggs, canned goods, etc. By a tireiess application to busi ness, dealing with the strictest honesty and courtesy, they soon secured a firm footing, their locol trade grew upon them, their orders for fresh supplies constantly increased and their place of business was also necessarily enlarged and extended About two months ago Mir. Pierce, with his usual keen fore sight, made trip to Tombstone and established 9 branch business there, which, as a natural consequence is also prospering. Their wholesale business has also largely increased and they are now sending goods to all parts of the county. This is a success well-merited. Mesrs. Pierce and Wood are both ac live, congeaial gentlemen, and for fair dealing. promp'ness and courtesy We can cheerfuIly commend this firm to the public patronage

The Grand Central mine at a depth of l75 feet has some very rich ore, some beautiful samples Of which are in town Assays run very hIgh
 The Contention people are still talk ing out their chlOrides and getting ready for operations at the new mill.
 The Rattlesnake mine. just south of the Grand Central, has a shaft down 70 feet on very strong ledge and are now in solid ore.

Mitchell and others are the fotuuate owners, and the prop erty is now bonded for S75,OOO and will probably be taken
 The Emerald, situated near the Rat tlesnake, was recently purchased by Messrs. Marks and Goldtree This is looking first rate and is doubtless a very valuable property. The owners intend 10 sink a shaft at once and properly develop the mine. The same parties have begun work on the Blua Jacket which shows a fine ledge of ore averaging about $125 per ton. They also own an interest in the Way Up mine, on which they will sink 50 foot shaft and hope to strike some very rich ore.
 Work is progressing on the Head Center mine with good results.
 The new owners have started up again on the Empire mine and have fine body of ore.
 The Goodenough and Tough Nut mines are as usual, solid" The ore bodies are large and rich.
 The Corbiu mill will be ready for ore soon after January 1st, and the Contention expects to start up about month later The Corbin mill will work custom ores, and when these two mills are in operation we may look for a particular boom in Tombstone.

 Los Angeles anxiously sought rail way communication with San Fran CISCO, in addition to her water commu. nication, but no sooner did she have it than she quarrelcd with it- and kept quarraling until her people soured, her business declined, strangers were kept away and 8 dissatisfied community was created. Under such uutoward condi- tions no people can prosper. Sacra- mento, beneath the spur Of the Sacra- mentO Union, tried her hand at the same game, and down she went, stead fly and surely, to the bedrock; then the Union died of hunger, Sacramento stopped growing, and she has been going up rapidly ever since. Stockton followed in the unsavCry wake of the capital city, and she too declined until of ite, when she ceased her Jickeriugs and now she iS, with the exception oi Sacramento, the most thriving town in California.
