The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-03-27

IF the records of the coroDer's office, or rather the testimony given before d jury at an inquest, is subject to inspection, then party by the name of Matthews is making an ass of himself by refusing the Nugget the testimony in the Earp inquest. The case has dragged alorg for three days, when all the testimony SO far taken would not have occupied one. Possible the fees for serving subpoenas on witnesses may have something to do with the unnecessa- " delay. At any rate we propose to have the evidence sooner or later, if the law does not prohibit its publication.-Nug- get.
 The above attack upon Coroner Mat thews is entirely uncalled for. The coro' ner, as an officer of the law authorized to investigate into causes and commission of homicide, has the right, as we understand the law, to withhold the evidence adGuced at inquests when by it's publIcation'the of lenders against the law would be likely to Joe warned and given time to escape and thus frustrate the ends of justice. That this is the reason the coroner will not per- init the evidence thus far obtained to go before the public we are in a position to know. Perhaps the Nugget has an inter- est in having the ends of justice thwarted in this case. Who can tell?

sad Nsisunderst anding.

Our beautiful and accomplished friend Dick Rule has been "slinging" on con- siderable style of late in the way of jew elry and new clothes, the reason for which could not be understood until the follow. ing facts were learned. Be it known that Richard is Fish Commissioner of the ter. rtory as well as editor of the Nugget and dabbler in mines. A few days since he received dispatch which read as follows
 NEW YORK, March 15.-Rchard Rule, Tombstone: One hundred thousand cash sent you by express today. GOULD.
 Thinking fortune was at last within his grasp, poor Richard commenced at once to spread himself in the manner above indicated, nor was the delusion dispelled until the receipt yesterday of 100000 carp by express, to be distributed among our psciculturis,s. The jewelry and clothes have been laid away with Uncle Meyers

Shlpperd Again.

WAsHINGToN, March 2l.-J. R. .Shipperd was before the house for eign affairs committee to-day. He asserted that his sickness was false. When asked for letters of May 2lst, 25th, 3lst and June 4th, he said there was some strange fatality about them as he could not find the letter of the 2lst. During the examination by the committee concerning an inter- view with Hurlbut, Shipperd said the former, in his opinion, could be purchased. He had not purchased Hurlburt, but had simply prevented him from viciously selling himself against the United States.

"sMELTING ORES"

On the l4th instant we had an edi- torial on the above subject, particu- larly designed to call the attention of our own people to the great benefits that would be derived by the city from the establishment of reduction works to treat argentiferous ores of refractory nature, similarly as they are treated by Hill X Co.,, at Argo, near Denver, Colorado. A response has come to that article sooner than was expected, and from quarter entirely unexpected. In our local columns will be found letter from Prescott, wherein the writer fully endorses the EPITAPH's remarks upon that subject, and makes the liberal proposition to advance one-ffth ol the money necessary for such all en- terprlse. n town the size of Tombstone, where there are so many monied men, and those who have set tied down into permanent business, it seems that it ought not to be Iffi- cult to find enough men to put up the other four fifths and set the works in motion. Were Tucson so situated as to command the amount of ore necessary to run reduction works of this sort, her people would come to the front and have them running within four months, and it seems to us that our people ought to be as public-spirited as other men, particularly when the enterprise is one that is calculated to enrich the promoters. Anyone desiring to com municate with the writer of the letter above referred to, his address will be furnished upon application at this office.

TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.

THE New York Daily Stock Re, port of the 10th instant, in an able review of the mining situation has the following good words for Arizo- ma. It says:
 From Arizona the Tombstone dis trict is making strong exhibit The mineral section is limited at present, but when mining has been prose cuted at all, the results have been marvellous as to gold, silver and cop per. The merest glance at the bull. lion shipments shows which way the wind is blowing there.
 The Stock Report is right when it says the results have been marvellous. They no. only have been marvel ous, but are becoming more and more so every day. The late strikes in old Guard, Bunker Hill and Ome- ga demonstrate that we have only jus; commenced the real work of de- velopment upon the mineral belt out tide the bonanza mines.
 From the Bunker Hill OF the west to the Omega on the east it is fully two miles, the great mines being about midway between the two points, in the heart of the belt. There are many unueveloped mines within this belt that show as strong evidence of great value as any of those that have developed so rich and are now pouring forth their streams of bullion to enrich the world. We know of only one district in the world that has ever shown so broad a mineralized zone as Tombstone, and that is the famous minerale of Chan arcillo in South America, which was four miles broad and literally scanned with rich veins for the whole dis tance. That the mineral belt of this district may yet prove of equal ex tent as that of it's South American counterpart, there is no one prepared to say at this time, and to risk neg ative assertion might be to write ones self down a false prophet. Of one thing we can confidently speak, and that is, that at this time there is no district in the United States that at all compares, in richness with Tombstone. The monthly bullion product proves this statement.

DOES MIsREPREsENTATION
 PAXY

The mission of journal is to give news in a plain, intelligible manner, devoid of distortion and misrepre. sentation. In devlat.ng from such course it ceases to be newspaper, and becomes a medium for the com munication of personal malice and doing grave public injustice. The Nugget this morning was guilty of gross mlsstatement in reporting a matter of news that the public were entitled 70 have in all its nakedness and truth. It states in the most pos itive terms that the sheriff made an attempt to arrest the Earp party at the Cosmopolitan hotel, and was in
 stantly confronted with A shooter in the hands of each one of the six men composing the party. Nv the facts of the case are, as derived from eye-witnesses, and as good and re, liable men as there are in Tomb stone, that all that passed between the sheriff and the Earp party was this: Sheriff Behan was standing in the office of the Cosmopolitan hotel when Wyatt Earp and the others composing the party came into the office from the rear entrance, each one having a rifle in his hands, in the ordinary manner of carving gun, and passed through the room to the street. As Wyatt advanced to the front and approached Sheriff Behan, the sheriff said to him, "Wyatt, |. want to see yoa." Wyatt replied, "You can't see me; you have seen me once too often," or words to tha, effect. He passed out into the stree, and turned around and said, "I will see Paul." and then the party passed on down the street. These gentle
 men say that no word was spoken by the sl e fl that implied demand fol an arr est, and that no weapons were drawn upon or pointed at the sheriff Furthermore, one of these gentle men says that he considers that 'h, !, sheriff did well in not attempting tC make the arrest last night, under tn, circumstances; that he expects tn, Earp party will surrender themselve
 to Sheriff Paul, of Pima county when he arrives. These are the plain unvarnished facts, that can be sub stantisted, as before said, by some o the best men in Tombstone.

 "Sorter green, eh?"
 "Green?' Well I should snigger You see, because they've been mak ing little coin up that way they think they know it all.

At dinner they came in all shaved, trimmed up, and logged out with new suits, and Pm blessed if each didn't have red flannel chest protector hung around his neck out side of hls coa'. They actually be- lieved they were some stylish new arrangement to protect the clothes from being soiled while at the table,"

Texas Railways.

DALLAS, March 2l.-Rumor says the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road will build to Dallas and San Antonio. Arrangements were pre- viously made to reach Dallas by the Gulf & Pacific route, to be construct ed from Sabine Pass to Albuquerque. It was stated last night that the chief engineer and general passenger agent of the Chicago, Texas & Mex ican Central road had resigned; cause, failure of the syndicate di- recting. Prominent citizens of Da.- las threaten to resign unless matte rs brighten. The home office of the road is in Chicago.

California southern Booming.

BosToN, March 2l.-Much specu- lation was caused by the sudden ap- preciation of California Southern railroad subscriptions. Blocks of No. 3 which sold at $50 a s35 pre- mium yesterday, leaped, by 25 dol. lar bounds, to $50. The theory is that Southern Pacific is after the California Southern in order to head off the Atch,son company, but off cials of the Southern road say no ne- gotiatlons are in progress, and that they know nothing of the cause of to-day's movement. The buying was by brokers not identified with any large houses, and included stock as well as bonds.

Idle Mines

From the Prescott Courier, March lG. ..'...
 As idleness wears out a man so does it injure mine. We have in mind, Tiger, Senator, Peck and other first class Yavapai county mines that are now pretty well filled with water. Those who know say that to thus neglect a g cd mine IS equivalent to abandoning it. The idea is not cor rect when applied to the mines above enumerated; owners have not aban- doned them. On the contrary they are thinking seriously of starting them up again, or at least the own CTS of the Peck and Tiger hold l. such an idea. It is not alone the mines that are injured; mills, fur naces, machinery, tools, houses, everything suffers from neglect, so we most sincerely hope that Mr.. Hardy's recent visit to Prescott was in some way connected with the pumping, cleaning out and working of the Peck, mine whose equal was never before found. The water has, we fear, made many caves in the mine, and sho Lld the company start the work of reclamation morrow, it would be month or more before the mine could be put in yielding order, The Tiger, we hear, is not so bad off as reg ards water.
 We cannot but grieve over the bad management or whatever else it was which brought about suspension
