through. Of course a saving in cost was effected, but still this seems unnecessary extravagance. The s2OO,OO0, which yves suppose was good money and worth 100 cents on the dollar, could have been convert ed, in St. Paul, into New York funds and brought along in MT. Chamber laln's wallet; hence we conclude that he had so little confidence in Minnesota that he would not take drafts issued in tht state. As for the S2,OOO,0UO of bonds, we see no special necessity for armed guards, tor any thief who would snatch Minnesota bonds must be very poorly informed on the subject of invest ments. Still, in view of the very great scarcity of securities, there is no knowing what might happen, and it may be as we'll to look out little even for " 'alf.an' -'alf" bonds.

From the Star, Jan 10.
 This is the name of the gold mining camp on the San Fran cisco rver. Mr. J. T. Yankie, one of the oldest settlers Tn that section, IS now in the city. He is merchandising in Gro, and brings good news from this fourishing camp.
 The Hydraulic company are laying pipes which, when completed, will awaken one of the most prosperous industries in Arizona. The company has about 10000 acres of fine placer ground, which yields high in coarse gold. There are about fifty men em- ployed by the company.
 There are about one hundred people in and about Gro.
 There are some fine copper mines in the vicinity, which are being opened; the best of which are the Metcalf mines.
 The Detroit Copper company's properties are about five miles from Orc, but the works are eight miles, and are probably running out bullion by this time. MT. Yankie thinks the Detroit company will rival the Cliff ton in its output, and will give an impetus to that section long wished for by all the old settlers.
 The Longfellow is building four miles additional railroad. They pro- pose to extend it to the Cornado, another mine which the company owns. This company has several other properties, and will probably increase thelr output during the pres- ent year.
 All the bullion from the district is shipped to Lordsburg. The supplies are also received at that point for Clifton and surrounding districts.
 There are large number of other prominent copper properties in the vicinity of the Detroit mines; the principal of which are the Stevens, the Gutherie and the Mansfield. The Greenleaf gold mines are also at- tracting considerable interest. These mines lay near Gro.
 The outlook tor that whole section is good, and excellent results may be expected during the year.
 MT. Yankie is largely interested in large number of mining properties in the distrc', as well a> in the Fly draulic Mining company.

The total amount of copper pro- duced by the mines of the world is estimated at 139,0OO tons, of which the United States contributes 30,000, while Chile leads with 45,000, closely followed by Spain, with a product of 25,000 tons. It is not probable that the discoveries of copper deposits that have been and will be made will be allowed to lie long unimprov- ed and undeveloped, and it will not be unreasonable to expect to see this country taking the lead in the pro. duction of copper, as it already has as a producer of silver.

A New Gambling scheme.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II. - A movement is on foot among mem. bers of the Produce Exchange to start wheat speculation here Oil the Chicago system. If possible the ex- change will be induced to take it up; otherwise those members favoring the project will combine with mining stock operators, who are tired of the dullness in th ir line of business, and commence operations. Shippers generally oppose the project, which is urged mainly by commission mer chants, and there is little doubt i. will be carried out within a few months,

 We regret to learn that this company, alter paying $1,050,000 in dividends Tn twenty.one months is, if the Philadelphia Mining Journal is accurately informed, about to conclude: its cledltable career as q dividend payer
 The ore has run down, according to re. ports, very low in grade, and the stock will be compelled to follow suit.
 We cannot criticise a mine for pttering out, especially after so splendid result as the Tombstone has shown; therefore it is more in sorrow than in anger that we are compelled to withdraw it from our list ot investment stocks.-New York Daily Stock Report, Dec. 13.
 The above will certainly be news to the people of Tombstone, if not the stockhold. CT in Philadelphia. The statementi is not true that the ore has run down either in quantity or quality, and we predict for the month of December larger output of bull lion than for November. Would the Stock Report pay more attention to the weekly mining reports of the EPITAPH, and less to the wild rumors set a1,,at in Philadelphia UT etoChJOuoiiB puIpOStS, u Wouiu Ubt fall into so gross lunders.-Tombstone EPITAPH.
 We have hitherto found the Phila- delphia Mining Journal accurate, es- pecially in matters pertaining to Philadelphia companies, like the Tombstone. We are interested in the welfare of all good mining com panies, and should like to hear from the Journal regarding the source from which its unfavorable informa- tion was obtained.
 The EPrrAPH is justly sensitive of anything said in dlsparagement of the properties in the Tombstone dis. trict, especially when not founded or tact.
 If the Tombstone company will furnish us with the latest reports from the mine we will gladly publish the same.

PESTlLENCE.
Col. POstOn Utters Word of Warn.
 ing to the People Of Tucson.

No iairer city exists under the sun than Florence, Italy. The silvery Arno drains the water from the snow capped Appenines, and the floral wealth of spring is showered in pro- fusion in the fairest valley of Italy. And yet, Florence in the year of our Lord l34S was visited by pestilence unprecedented ln human history The people of that time supposed it was a judgment of God, and wise astrologers claimed it as the result of an unfortunate conjunction of plan cts, but we know now that it was in consequence of lth.
 In describing the horrors of the plague, Boccaccio says: "Had 1 not seen it with my own eyes, and were there not many witnesses to attest it besides myself, I should never ven. :. ture to relate, however creditably l might have been informed about it. Such, l say. was tine pestilential mat ter as to pass not only from man to man, but wha, is more strange, from man to beast; in one instance of which took particular notice, the rags of poor man being just dead were thrown into the street, and two hogs coming by and roofing in them died in less than an hour. And such at the time was the public distress that the laws, human and divine, were not regarded, for the officers to put them in force being either dead, sick or in want of persons to assist them, every one did just as he pleased. Their terror was such that even brother fled from brother, a wife from her husband, and even a parent from its own child. No lady, however young and han some, would disdain being attended by man ser want, andsto expose herself naked to him."
 Between March and July upwards of one hundred thousand souls per ished, but few of whose bodies re. ceived christian interment. For a more graphic description of the Flor ence plague read Bulwer.
 Tucson is neither so clean nor so well favored by nature as Florence, and yet, with all the advantages of five hundred years experience in sanitary law and the historical evi- dences of former pestilences, we are sowing the certain seeds of death.
 The cIoaca is percolating the earth and rendering it fit to steam maIig- nant vapors as soon as the rain is warmed by the sun. The death rate is already frightfully large in propor- tion to the population. and summer of filth and sragnation will, accord ing to the inevitable laws of nature, breed pestilence.
 Of what use is a corporation un- less it takes some care for the well fare and health of it's people? The legislature of Tennessee repealed the act creating the corporation of Memphis, and the sanitary condition of New Orleans was taken in hand by the military authorities. The peo' pie have some rights which a corpo- ration is bound to respect, and either through the courts, grand jury or the legislature the corporation of Tucson needs looking after. c. D. P.

THE Los Angeles Herald learns from MT. c. F. Smurr, of the South ern Pacific railroad, that the agents of his company in Arizona and New Mexico report that sheep can be handled to advantage in large bands, say from five to twenty. five thousand head, in a district from thirty to sixty miles south from San Simon. This range has plenty of spring water and bunch grass, called crow foot gramma. The range extends twenty five miles and as far back from the creek as parties wish to go. Grazing in the vicinity of Deming is very good, but it is better twenty five miles north, where there is more water. There is abundance of grass around Lordsburg, but a scarcity of water. Gillespie district, fifty miles south of Lordsburg, is reported as a fine place for sheep. The Southern Pacific railway, so Mir. J. c. Stubbs advises MT. Smurr, will offer rates on sheep to these points early ,next spring.

Charley Williamson and Tom Lennon have struck it rich in gold and silver ores. Silver Camp is situated about five miles from Dos Cabezas and is rich in silver and gold. l here found John Casey and Fitch with piles of ore on the dump, some of which will yield $200 per ton. 1 also found wood and water, good and in abundance. This is a regularly laid-out town, with Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express and telegraph, Charley Washeim presiding and agent. There is one fine, neat and clean hotel, the hostess of which, Mrs. Hinckley, and her daughters, attend to the wants of the travelling public.
