AN EDITORS VALEDICTORY.

State Journal, on retiring from
the profession net long since,
embraced the occasion to give
utterance to some sentiments
which are applicable the world
over among newspaper readers.

matte legs down stairs to go no

who obstinately refuse to forgive
us. We are bound to be for

What they are Represented to Ire 7

We, the undersigned, who have had
wells made by Mr. Curtis are satisfied
they are the best wells now in use, if
bricked with good brick and mortar.
They are everlasting wells, cutting off
all seap water, and if we wanted a per-
manent well would prefer this to any
other, and consider they would be
cheaper than recurbing an old we'll. We
have been using said wells from one to
six years and are perfectly satisfied with
them. ..5s %TEt

TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.
Notes from the Leadyiilc OF Arizona.

From letter dated May 4th, 1880.
received by James Thacker from J. w.
McIlvaine, formerly of Spring City, in
the Paradise mines, but now resident
of Tombstone, Arizona, we are per-
mitted to publish the following:
The altitude of Tombstone is about
5000 feet above the level of the sea.
The thermometer ranges from 90 to 9S
degrees in the shade in the day time at
present, but the nights are cool, ard
people sleep comfortably under two
pairs of blankets. There are about
5000 people in the town, and business
of all kinds, except hotels and lodging
houses, is overdone. There are thirty
saloons in the town, of which six or
eight do good business. There are
three gambling houses, in which there
are two monte, eight faro, and numer-
Gus chuck -a-luck and other dice games,
but no short card games are allowed.
The faro games all have ten cent checks,
except one twenty-five cent game, rs
money is rather scarce.
There are three daily stages running
between the railroad terminus and
Tombstone, and all come in loaded to
the guards. There are a great many
idle men here who cannot get work.
The town is situated nine miles east of
the San Pedro river, and twenty-three
miles north of the Mexican line. Wa
ter has to De hauled from five tie seven
miles, and it sells at two cents per
gallon.
Now for the mines. The formation
is quartzite and limestone, and the ore
bodies are irregular and found more IN
beds or pockets than in well defined
hedges, but the deposits are immense.
The Contention and Tough Nut mines
have been prospected to the depth of
200 feet The ore is very rich, but no
sign OF a wall has been found. The
ores are gray carbonates, horn silver
and gold | cannot inform you as to
the percentage OF precious metals in
the ores, but they are said to be very
rich. think the mines are good, and
that Tombstone will be a lively camp
for two or three years to come. The
whole country is located along the min
eral belt for distance of fifteen miles
south and eight miles east of town.
Wherever ore is found location is
made to the full extent allowed by law,
and there is no mining record kept in
the district. Claims arc recorded in
the Office OF the County Recorder, IS
miles away, at Tucson. There are four
steam BOOSTING works, and several
whims and whips in operation. There
are probably 200 men at work in the
mines, and three mills are running on
the San Pedro river, nine miles west of
town. Two new mills are in course Of
erection on the same river.
There are new mining excitements al
most daily, in every direction, and from
% to $50 miles distant, and there is a
stampede in some direction all the time.
Saddle horses and jacks are in demand;
horses range in price from $40 to 500 a
head, and jacks from SIS to $40. but
ready sale would not be found for a
great many horses at one time. / will
just say to my friends: Do not come
to Tombstone on my say, but use your
own judgment.
