 each shift. The vein of ore is two ard one-half feet wide and assays from Sl0l to S6,0O0. The smelter owned by the Texas Company has made a fine run. They run out ffty-two tons of bullion in eleven days, valued at about Sl6,O00. They have shipped from their last run thirty tons, and have on hand thirty tons more. They expect to do still better, having struck the large body Of ore in the Texas.
 Hugo Richards, Esq, of Prescott, is spending few days in Tombstone, on his return trip from an extended visit east. He recently spent a few days in Washington, where he found a number of Arizonians in search of fat things for themselves and friends.
 When the more extensive and divi- dend paying mines of an important dis trict become involved in litigation, it may generally be regarded as an unmix- ed calamity. But in the instance before the people of Tombstone in the suit in progress between the Contention and Head Center, such is not liable to be the case. The trial of the suits has at- tracted so many of the most noted min ing lawyers, operators and experts who are keenly, if not directly, interested in the points at issue, that more wide spread knowledge of the great wealth of this district will become disseminated among those classes to which We must look for the greater development of this comparatively unknown region. Sever al gentlemen attracted thither by the cause mentioned, have spent much of their leisure time in examining promis- ing properties and in some instances purchases have already been made.
 Nothing has been heard from the posse that went out with Marshal Earp. Ar ter the escape of Ringo it was decided to send out another posse to bring him in, as the marshal of course had no warrant for his arrest. Accordingly, yerterday morning about o'clock posse ofeight, led by MT. J. Jackson, left town with a warrant for his arrest. Arriving at Charleston at daybreak, they put their horses in a corral to grain and after leav- ing their arms at a convenient place, proceeded t0 the Occidental hotel to get their breakfast. Upon passing thle threshold they were intercepted by Isaac Clanton and another man with drawn weapons, while the barrels of other Winchesters suddenly gleamed over the adobe wall. Mr. Jackson stat ed his errand. After few words by some of the party that nobody would be arrested unless they wanted to be, Clan ton stated that Johnny had always acted the gentleman toward him and he would see what could be done, the result of his efforts being that it was arranged that Ringo should return with the posse to Tombstone. 4 little while afterward Mir. Goldrich rode up and took Ringo one side for conversation. 4 few mo- ments afterward Clanton informed MT. Jackson that Ringo had left but would be in Tombstone within an hour or an hour and twenty minutes at most, and in just about the allotted time he appear ed, gave himself up and was placed in the county jail. The posse returned to town about 1 o'clock, the intent of their mission having been achieved by the voluntary act of Ringo. They report about twenty-five cowboys congregated at Charleston, and from a gentleman who came in late from the southern country we learn that he was passed by quartet about four miles from Charles ton, who were making excellent time in the direction of Hereford.
 The citizens of Tombstone are to be congratulated that at last the highest authorities at Washington realize the necessity of prompt and thorough meas ures to secure the peace and good order of our country, and especially of the southern border of our Territory. We are informed that a telegram was re- ceived here last evening urging imme- diate action by the constituted author ities in purging our country of the ma rauding element, and assuring firm SUD- port in the full execution of the laws. From the character of the dispatches our people are justified in believing that no step backward will be taken. The supremacy of the law will be maintain ed at all hazards, and law-baeakers, generally, had better at once heed the warning.
 The mystery enshrouding the where abouts of the Earp party remains as i'm penetrable as ever, at least to the general public. One rumor yesterday stated that they had taken refuge in Cochise's old stronghold m the Dragoon mountains, where they were besieged by countless hordes of cowboys. But no credence should be given irresponsible and im- probable rumors like the above. The whereabouts of ;he party IS quite well knwen to those on the inside, as are also the aims and objects of the apparent ly hostile expedition. Last night re-en- forcements to the number of about thirty men left town, mounted an armed cap-a- pie, and ere this they have no doubt joined forces with the original party which Jeff the cit Monda lt Is reliably stated they are acting under orders of United States Marshal Dake, who, it is said, is responsible for the pay and equipments of the men. The ostensible object of the movement is the extIrpo- ton of stage robbers and other malefac- tors, but there are many in this com munity who believe the eradication of private malice will be the first considera- ton with the leadrs of the party.
