The entertainment to be given at Levin Hall on December 9th, under the auspices of our Tucson artists and ana- teurs, promises to be the soiree musicale of the season. Rehearsals are being held nightly, and judging by the variety Of lyrical gems marked out on the pro gramme, the affair will prove a success.

 Judge Chas. Silent and lion. Ben Morgan, of Tucson, are in town.
 Tombstone M. and NJ. Co. shipped Ter Wells-Fargc's express last night five bars of bullion, weighing lO3J pounds, and valued at Sl2,735.70.
 Judge Spicer admitted Wyatt Earp and Doe Holiday to bail yesterday in the sum of Sl0,0OO each. Their bonds men are E. B. Gage and J. Nj. Nizina.
 For some reason or other there has been a large influx of the cowboy eie- ment in the last two or three days Thus far all have been orderly and quiet, and it is to be hoped that no breach of the peace may occur to mar the present condition of the city.
 Col. T. z. Summer and wife returned to Tombstone Tuesday evening, and will remain here for the winter. They are much gratltied >witk the marked progress our city has made, socially and ether wise, and on the other hand Tombstone society will extend to them nest cCr- dial greeting.
 The Epitaph acknowledges the receipt of a specimen of carbonate ore from the Aver mines, that will weigh about sixty or seventy-fiye pounds, that will assay 72 per cent lead and Sl2I per ton in sil- yer. This fine specimen was presented With tine compliments Of Col. Chas. C. Cute, manager of the mines of the Aver company in the Chiricahua mountains. The gentlemen forming the Aver con- pany are Geo.

These mines are situate in the pine timber Of the Chiricahuas, with wood and water in abundance and only 4O miles from rail- road transportation, such ore, of which We are assured there is an abundance, can hardly fail to prove the equal to any spot in Cochise county, and Arizonu for that matter

POISONED.
A Travelling Lecturer Drusged in an old Town
 Saloon.
lAlbuquerque Journal-l

A-AAee'iAgANaI NtAAAAa
 George W. Anderson IS a lecturer O some note, and Is now travelling througl
 the country lectdring on the lives anC
 public services of Lincoln aud Garfield
 He is intelligent, affable gentleman, ana
 has his wife with him. He arrived II this city Tuesday evening, and engaged a room at Kreamer's lodging house 1T new town. In bis search for a suitable hall in which to deliver his course OI lectures, he visited the old town, and feeling cold he stepped into saloon to warm. While there he was accOsted by a middle-aged, vell-dressed man and in. vited to take a drink. NIT. Anderson declined, stating that he did not drink The man insisted, and finally the lee turer consented to drink a glass of soda. Soon after this he took the street car for his lodging place in new town, after which he knew no more til yester- day noon. His absence in the ever. ing caused his wife some uneasiness, and search being made he was found on the sidewalk in front of the Chicago clothing store on Railroad avenue, in a taken to his room, and Dr. J. W. COnley Se1Aitu Ill., MA4p ol blCC soM lLLc Al4taA 4eatt been poisoned with belladonna. Power ful emetics were given, which happily had the desired effect, and the life of the lecturer saved.
 Mr. Anderson was out of danger yester- day afternoon, but says he does not re- member the name of the saloon in which he was drugged. He says he was near the line of the street car track, but as there are three or four which this loca- tion would describe, the matter cannot be decided till he recovers sufficiently to make a personal examination of the premises. The respectable esalOonkeepers of old town owe it to themselves to in- vestigate this case, and bring the guilty party to justice. If there is a pOisOner in their midst they want to fire him ont as quickly as possible.

PheniX Points.


 Preparations are being made for a grand sacred concert by the Phenix brass band for the benefit of the M. E. church. Prof. Kelly is busy arranging new music, and several selections have been sent for from the east.
 That fish-culture can be successfully carried on here IS shown by the efforts made by Jeriah Wood. He tells LIS that he has about 12,000 young carp, and that next spring he can supply the market. Our territorial fish commissioners should take note of this.
 We rode out to Mir. Meador's place this morning, and found him busy in getting ready to make a large quantity of sorghum syrup. He has his mill ready and furnace built, and is only waiting for the paE, which has been de- layed from some unaccountable reason. He expects to make from 1900 to l5OO gallons. The nill works finely, and Tn a few days will turn out liquid sweetness by the gallon. A stroll over his orchard convinced us that in q couple of years Mir Meador will have fruit enough to supply all our home demands. The en- tire place has that eastern hOme-like feature about 1t that at once pleases the eye and reminds one of days of yore, in the homes in the far east.

Upwsra wi!h the Tide.

One of the best evidences Of the faith of saEacious business men in the bui- liant commercial future of Tucson is seen in the elaborate permanent i'm provements going on and the process of segregating the stocks of the older es- tablishmeuts int, special lines. and m the vast amounts Of merchandise car red by dealers. hus 1t is seen, dealers in specialties have advanced fsqm very modest beginnings tl substantial insti- tutions, and the older establishments have gradually dropped such lines from their sJOck aDd also confined theIr busi- ness t. narrower but more complete channels.
 Among the prosperous examples of this class of merchants can be mentioned Messrs. Perrin X Marx, who but short time ago added a small stock of cloth ing and furnishing goods to the tailoring business of Mr Perrin. The trade grew so satisfactorily that larger quarters were ar absolute necessity, and a lease was obtained to the building immedi- ately south of the Palace Hotel and the lAFlAAAofS li4-NEA III tlht'tl NAfllAAAAtNlA lf't the large stock which bass been recently moved therein. Acting from experience they purchased g0odso of the best quality, and in large quantity They have an immense stock of cloths and can maru- facture suits to ordersat the shortest mo- tice and in a satisfactory manner, while in ready-made clothing almost any one can find fits in any class of goods. They also have fine hats and caps, trunks, va lises, boys clothing of all sizes and a complete line, silk handkerchiefs, shirts of all makes. OyercOats, blankets, and ten thousand other things belonging to the trade Tn fact a ragged man may enter their establishment a disgusting specta- cle Of humanity and emerge hence a stylish gentleman, SO far as outward ap- pearance can indicate that rare quality. It is worth ones while to look about their fine store, even if one contemplates no present purchases. An inspection costs nothing and it may lead to the dis covery of what one bus long searched for

HARSHAW AND WHEREABOUTS.
Inc HoTmo5a hin Shut Dowa-Ihe Resources Of the Tcwn--Tho Surrounding Country Pres reriEg.

FeriEg-
 Mr. Mart Malony, who has resided at
 or about Harshaw for the past ten years,
 is in the city. The CrIzES is indebted
 to him for the following items Of inter-
 est from that place:
 The Hermosa mill has closed or is about to shut down. Aside from the
 fact that nine or ten men are thus thrown out of employment, the effect of this action upon the town is anything
 but detrimental. The contractor who hauled the ore and wood made a poor
 bargain, and, in consequence he could not pay his obligations, an | the mer- | chants, mechanics, blacksmiths and en- | ployes and others suffered more or less l through him, and Co that extent the run ming of the mill could not be considered an unmiXed blessing.
 ! The general trade at Earshaw Is still very good and increasing. The sur rounding country is being developed and the business Is concentrating i'll Parshaw. To the south and west Of the town, in the HUachucas, there are two saw mills actively engaged in manufac- turing lumber, besides good ranches and many promising mining claims. To the east, on the Santa Cruz, are many good ranches where cattle are chiefly raised. Northwafd from the Santa Ritas comes the extensive trade from about Critten- den, Temporal Gulch, the Aztec and Tyndal mining districts. On the Sonoita are ranches and several very promising mining claims which are being develop ed. The west side of the Patagonias Is developing lots of good mines. John T. Pantlind is working some properties there, and like all the miners, goes to Harshaw to trade. On the east side of the PatagOnias is Washington Camp. where more CT less work Is being done. The W. (. Davis smelter and mine are yiel.ling satisfactorily In the Red Rock District, Frazier has sold a group of mines tO a company for S2O,uOO, and a mill Is to be erected without delay. There are many good properties here and lots of good ore on the dump. All around Harshaw are substantial i'm provements and developments being made. and the trade centeTs in that town. The people, therefore, do not feel any loss from the Hermosa mill closing down, but see far more hopeful future ID the surrounding coun- try. It is even hinted that the object of the suspension of work on the mine Is part of plan to secure other neighbOring properties very cheap ly. Some claims show several hundred thousand tons of good ore almost on the surface. Yet, so long as Eastern con- panies quarrel among themselves in- stead of making legitimate business of | mining, the growth of the mining camps must be retarded. MT Maloney feels that the camp is about to see the ad- vent of a solid boom.

There was a quiet wedding at No. 2Od Convent street Thursday, which took by surprise many of the friends of the high contracting parties, who did not sus- pect that such an affair was on the tapis.

\ Territorial Right.

There should not be any question of politics in the matter of admitting Ter ritories to the status of States. The only question should be that of ability to carry on a State government. \ resi- dent of a Territory is only half a citizen of his country, and his exclusion from the full privileges of citizenship Is an abridgement of his undoubted right. Among the brave, hardy fellows who have come to these wild border lands, enduring fatigues that would appal IT. tans, and carrying day and night their lives upon their sleeves, there IS more of the necessary element to erect sue cessful State upon than can be found among the milk-and-water fellows who have clung to the shelter of the paternal roof and are satisfied to take its door, step for a tombstone.-I Silver Belt.
