First Ward Meeting .

A meeting was held last night at Ham Light 8 corral for the purpose of nominating candidate for councilman from the First Ward, and eight delegates to the city convention of Saturday even ing next. The meeting was not generally adver- tised, and consequently only about fifty people were present, being packed for the purpose which was accomplished. It in no measnre represented the sentiments of the ward. l. o. Smith acted as chairman and A. H. Emanuel, secretary. Charles N. Thomas was nominated as councilman, re- ceiving eight votes more than J. W. Young on the second ballot. Mir. Thomas has very little iL- terest in the ward or in Tombstone affairs and cannot be elected. There will be little difficulty in electing Mir. Young should he consent to make the race. Mir. Young is member of the firm of Armstrong S Young and would fill the position with credit to himself and his constituents. The following gentlemen were elected delegates to the
 city convention: John R. Young, Jas. Kenny. Chas. Mason, Jas. Wood, J. H. Locklan, R s. Knight, Wm. Soule and Jerry Fitzpatrick.

A Liberal Offer!

The Central Pacific Railroad Con- pany rendered, on the l6th inst, to Placer county, through Wells, Fargo & Co.,, the sum of S2l, 800 as taxes on their roadbed, franchise, rails and rolling stock, at the rate of sl3,3l5 60 per mile. They have 112a miles of road in Placer county, which is as- sessed by the State Board Of Equal ization at s25,000 per mile. Their tax, according to the assessment, amounts to S39,5S7. The difference between the amount of the taxes ac- cording to the assessed value and the amount of the tender is material, and it is not at all likely that the tender will be accepted. The com pany demand as a condition of its acceptance a receipt in full.

A Tenant at Last.
From the Alta Arizona.


 For year past our county jail has been unoccupied. But once (speciaD grand jury was called and impaneled but finished its business in one day within the past year. Last week two men charged with robbery, an account of which we published were brought from the railroad, and plea d ing guilty, were locked up. This is the first of long list that is sure to follow before the iron horse crosses the Colorado river. In tune the citizens and taxpayers expect to have help by way of taxes from the railroad, but at present and for one year to come, we will have heavy ex- pense without much assistance from any new source. Our county, that is now nearly out of debt, will find itself with a heavy debt before anything is realized from taxes on the railroad One point is in our favor. the A. & P. R. R. has not asked to be exempt from taxation. Thus, unlike the s. P. R R., will pay its way in the end. Our county organization IS kept up and we are taxed for the purpose of protecting lite and property, and before the game is played rogues will find the officials of Mohave county ready to do their duty, and citizens and taxpayers ready to back the ofiiials.

In the EPIrAPHs special report the real facts of the value of the mine were largely understated. The developments of ore put il in the first rank among mines in the United States.

The Gui,eau Trial Resumed.

WASHINGTON, December 2l-At the re. sumption of the Guiteau trlal this morn ing, Dr. Hamilton, of New York, took the stand. Scoville desired to have the other experts excluded during the testimony, but the court ruled against hlm. During the argument Davidge was interrupted by the prisoner, who said "I will cut this short, judge, by saying l am perfectly willing to have them here. 1 want them to learn all they can. l have so much COL tdence in their honor and integrity that -"
 Devidge-Thats precisely what l am coming to.
 Guiteau-You are on the right track, judge. I'll take you on my side; you are engaged for my side of this case.
 Witness was questioned at great length relative to the operations of the mind, the significance of dreams and unconscious expressions as indicative to mental pro- gress. Counsel for the prosecution pro- tested against the apparently objective ali rection of the inquiries.
 Scoville, smiling--Well, gentlemen, told you did not know much about this subject
 Guiteau--Then you had better get of tuC tdSC, II you Noh hhoN about It. 1 think Reed and can do bet ter than you, judging by the way you are laboring. Hooking over the notes which Scoville held in his hand, he continued), You have got lot of stuff there. It's not in your handwriting; l guess it must have been contributed by some crank"
 Guiteau appeared dissatisfied with the result of the examination, and finally said tx n tl,nt Ct,, vile; send this man down and call Clark Mills; he is good deal better man for you than this one. He took cast of my head the other day, thinking some people would be interested to see it. He took a oust of Andrew Jackson, and he thinks it greater than Jackson's was He found one side of my head badly deficient though" The prisoner then branched off to the in- spiration theory, and rattled on for some time hls oft,repeated harangue on the sub ject of irriSistible pressure

A PrOsDect0r's Chances.

From the N. Y. Daily Stock Report.
 Could the scattered and broken threads which formed the warp and wool of many prospector's history be gathered together and united, TO- msnces without number could be woven which would rival those framed by Wilkie Collins. Certain events in the history of two pioneers have recently come to our knowl- edge, which are worthy of mention. Three years ago MT. NJ. Dunkin To- cated at Leadville the mine which still bears his name. He was poor, but he wor ked faithfully and hard in hopes that he would strike mineral, but hls mo ey gave out, and he sold his interest for $2,300. The pur- chasers, after expending quite a large sum in sinking another shaft on the property, which failed to dis close mineral, returned to that in which Mir. Dunkin had buried his hopes, and in sinking seven feet farther struck pay ore. The mine was sold year later for $375,0 O.. An old-tlmer m the west, who was among the earll arrivals at Rosita, located the Pioneer, and sunk a shaft 124 feet deep. He subse- quently located the Chieftain, ad- joining the I.earenworth, and sold it for $5 on twenty years time. The sum is not yet due. Before selling, he offered to give it to Capt. Lambert, of the Pueblo Chieftain, from which paper the mine derived its name, but the captain declined the gift. The same prospector dis covered the Humboldt, Pocahontas, Leviathan and Invincible mines, all of which he gave to man to whom he was indebted in a paltry sum. The three first named have since yielded S700,000, and bid fair to produce twice that sum in the future, while the old timer is rich-prospec. lively in the ownership of several lodes in the San Miguel mountains. Truth is stranger than 6ction-some- times.-Mining Gazette.

LOCAL sPLANTERs.

SOME hunters brought into town yesterday a large and fat black bear from the Huachucas.
 THE flow of water from the sutro Tunnel averages 4627 ,2s7 gallons per twenty-four hours.
 A BIG strike is reported in the San Pedro mine. MT. T. Forget, foreman, informed an EPITAPH re- porter last evening that he has developed good ledge, carrying rcE horn silver and chlordes.
 THE District court adjourned last evening at 6 o'clock to re-convene on the 18th of January. The court was occupied all day in listening to the argument of counsel on the Tombstone Way Up case.
 THE excavation for the Huachuca Water Com pany's reservoir is progressing finely. It will be fine piece of work when completed. In size 90xs0S2O and of capacity of l,Os00OO gallons, it puts the question of water supply for 20OOO peo- pie beyond all question.
 THE Huachucas andChiricuhuas are resplendent in their winter garments of snow. With the warm sunny plains at their feet, and the deep azuie of the heavens above them, they form as pretty a picture one need desire to look upon. WILD game is quite plentiful in the market at this time. On Tuesday last saw at the Maison Doree the first specimen of blackta deer ever remember to have seen. The fat on the small of the back, when sawn asunder, must have been fully halfinch thick.
 THE Silver Belt drift has been in ore for the last six feet, and no signs of the west wall yet. It is of the real Contention character, and prom ises to maintain the reputation of that lode. It now looks as if Mr. Ogden was not so far wrong, after a in refusing S50OOO for his interest in the | mine. HE Father de Smet mire, in the Black Hills, Dakota, for the week ending December 1st, turned ont 2s28 tons Of ore, and the mill crushed 2s7O tons. If this ore had yielded at the rate that Tombstone ore has averaged from date of dis coyery of the camp, (S62.7O per ton), the yield would have been S179,949 whereas the actual yield about S23 O0O, counting the ore at SS per ton, which has been about the yearly average oi | the mine heretofore.

Closing Night of the Episcopal Fair

Last night the Episcopal church fair at Schief fen hall was brought to a very successful termin- ation. The principal features of the evening were the election, the grand ralle and the dancing. The election was held for the purpose of deter mining who was the most popular lady in Tomb. stone, or. rather, which of them could secure the largest number of votes. As an additional feature of interest, the lady who received the largest number was awarded a handsome silver bead necklace, which was donated to the church by Mrs Dr. Tren"r, and is valued at S120. Mrs. Agnes Dunbar was the fortunate winner as on counting the votes, it was found that she had far more in her favor than any of the other candidates. In the grand rafile, al the tickets were sold, though for want of time many of the prizes were not dis tributed; for this reason the hall will be open after o'clock this morning, when holders may call and present their tickets and have the proper prizes delivered to them
 The ladies desire to thank their friends and the public for the liberal patronage bestowed them, and also say that the fair, as well as be- ing so pleasant socially, will doubtless prove a grand success financially. Total receipts are roughly estimated at about 5000, though the ex- act amount realized cannot be ascertained for a few days.

READERS of the EPITAPH will re- member that some months ago we called the attention of the Mexican government to the necessity for the establishment of consulate in Tombstone. It affords us pleasure to announce to the public that our suggestion was promptly acted upon by the Mexican congress when it met, and that bill was introduced establishing such office here, which became law on the seventh day of December, copy of which reached this city Tuesday evening. This will end the troubles for Americans who desire to cross the line for busI- ness or pleasure. We expect to be able to announce the appointment of consul at an early day.

Look Ont for Them.

From the Citizen.
 We clip the following extract from the Santa Fe New Mexican. We sug- gest to our peace officers to keep good look out for the arrival of the characters indicated and deal with them in such h way that they may speedily be convinced that Arizona is too warm a climate for immigration of their ilk:
 Governor L. A. sheldon, who has been down south looking into the state of affairs regards rustlers, is very much encouraged by the outlook. He says the bands of outlaws mplained of hav- ing become frightened, and are preparing to leave the country. They are headed for Arizona, and it is probable that that territory will henceforth have much of the fun which New Mexico has iere. tofore had the benefit of. The hanging of the two cattle thieves at Shakespeare recently, together with the general organization of militia, and the disposition of the people 10 string up everything in the shape of rustler, has terrified the cattle thieves, bullies and others of the ilk to such an extent that the have concluded that l. would be more healthy for them on the other side of the Arizona line. party of them were recently camped on the Gia, but it is thou ht that by this time they have departed

THE EPlTAPH received through the veracious telegraph Tuesday night two contradictory versions re- garding the lost Jeannette. That account which reports the expedition as having come to grief is shown by our dispatches this morning to have been the correct one, and that be- nevolent Siberian governor who was so devoted to the interests of hu- manity and science, turns out to be a myth.
