A grant cap, suggestive of giant cartridge, found among the ruins, partly explains the cause of the explosion.

THE Yuma Sentinel indulged in . column tissue of falsehoods in it's last issue in relation to matters in Tomb stone, about which that journal knows as much of the real merits as does a South Sea Islander.

From the N. Y. Mail and Express,
 Such prolonged life as that of Peter Cooper helps us to realize somewhat the marvellous growth of the great city Tn which he was born and has lived so long past the allot- ted limit. When he was born the population of New York was only 27,000. His single lifetime has cov- cred the whole period in which the metropolis has been coming to Its present imperial grandeur and com- manding power.
 Probably the population of the entire region of which the City Hall is the centre and enclosed by circle with & radius of twelve miles, at the time of Peter Cooper's birth, was less than 10000 souls. It is now not far from 2,500,000. In his lifetime this strictly metropolitan area has witnessed the greatest growth ever known in the worlds history.
 Mir. Cooper has lived to see in this metropolitan district all the successive advances in population, from the scattered settlements, that, all to- gether, were little more than size- able town, to population only second to that of London. When a single life, all of it active and identl- fled with the life and interests of the growing city, measures such an i'm. mense span of human progress, we are enabled to get faint sense of the possibilities that are before us.

The Peruvian Company.

. NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The list of names contained in tue Peruvian correspondence was received at Washington with indifference. The Tribune correspondence shows that at no time has the state department given Shepherd the least encourage. ment, Blame having once even threatened to begin criminal proceed, ings against him for attempting to bribe Gen. Hurlbut. Inquiry in this city has revealed the fact that in nearly every instance Shepherds use of the names of prominent men was without authority.

MINERS will do we'll to req

MINERS will do we'll to read and preserve the decision from the Su- preme court of the United States on the subject of relocating mining claims, which appears on the outside of this issue of the EPIrAPH. Chief Justice Waite read the decision. The short of the whole matter is, that a location or q relocation made be- fore claim becomes forfeit under the United States mining laws is in. valid. and that it does not becom valid by reason of the forfeiture of the ground by previous locator. This decision applies to one or more cases in Tombstone district, and if the parties in interest will but heed it, they will save themselves much trouble and possibly money.

RIGHT TO THR POINT.

The following editorial from the Prescott "Arizona Miner" of Febru. ary 16th, is direct to the point, and as far as we are 'cognizant of the facts, is "oenter shot:"
 An article emanating from the Washington Star requires correct ing, and before the city editor of that paper again takes it upon himself to make statements regarding our of fcials, we would advise him to get facts, figures, and above all truths. The gist of the article is that the marshal has not turned moneys back into the treasury at the end of each fiscal year, hence no moneys will be supplied the United States marshal for putting down the COW. boy element in southern Arizona. If the Star would investigate and adhere to the truth it would be able to state that it requires an act of congress to appropriate funds for the suppression of the COW boys by rsis. ing 8 posse of men and placing them in the field for that purpose. Now, in the face of a possibility of personal loss, Major Dake has plac. ed $3,000 in the bank of Tombstone, to be used in raising forces for the suppression of lawlessness in south. ern Arizona, trusting that an act of congress will relieve him and place the amount to his credit at an early day. Fifteen hundred of the 5000 have already been used by the dep uty marshals in putting down the cowboy disturbances. Major Dake has paid his juries, deputies and all court expenses promptly; and, in fact, has made the best marshal Ar. izona has ever had, and we most emphatically protest against such damaging articles as the one which originated in the Washington Star, and was prompted by Bourbon from southern Arizona. Since the slHAategbaseheen stirred up, we advise 5hNni NninaFeauleus to ask the attorney. .&el1e1ek dor full information. We 34 dClean officials and the attor. & sjngeftsralican give the necessary sinfcE Enationson the premises.

The Hawaiian Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Tho hear ing before the house commi .tee on foreign affairs on the propos ed abro- gation of the Hawaiian treaty was continued this morning. Allen, Ha- waiian minister, reviewed the history of affairs which had led up to the treaty, and rscited the views of Messrs. Seward, suJhner, Gen. Grant and others of the importance to the government of the United States that the Hawaiian islands should not fall undsr control of any foreign power. He cortradicted the asser- ton, made on the other side, that labor in sugar culture could be called in any senIe slave labor, but that the wages paid are very high, and that the interests and welfare of the laborers are thorough. ly protected by the Hawaiian govern ment. He showed that the sllegs- tion of smuggling sugar into the country under the name of Sandwich Island sugar was entirely without foundation, and in proof of that he read from letter from Comley, US. Minister at Honolulu. Geo. s. Bout we'll addressed the committee on the same side of the question, confning his remarks chiefly to the great i'm portance of the United States govern ment retaining it's influence in these islands, in view of the great trade of tke future with the countries on the Pacific. Further hearing in the mat ter was postponed by the committee until Monday, March 9th.

IN THE HALLS.

It was hoped, and even expected, that after the New Mexico and Arl- zona railroad commenced running trains over their line to Contention that several hours would be gained in the receipt of the mail and cor responding saving in time to tho travelling public. It now seems that too much was hoped for, and that in. stead of that gain there is greater loss than was ever dreamed of in staging times. At least three days in the week the noon train brings neither mail nor passengers from Benson to Contention, and people are compelled to await the evening coach for this (the maiD indispensi. ble adjunct to civilization. We are told that this delay arises whenever the Southern Pacific trains going east are few minutes behind time, the N. M. & A. people refusing to wait for the train. This, it seems to the people of Tombstone, is an un. called-for promptitude in making schedule tune over an eighteen or twenty mile line of road that can be run in forty minutes at the longest If this thing cannot be remedied, il is suggested that a coach carrying the mail to Benson be again put on the road. There is no doubt bu: that such an arrangement could be made to pay now as we'll as before the opening of the road. It is nc pleasant thing for passengers to be compelled to lay over in Benson all day to accommodate the railroad people, when they could be just as we'll moved on to their destination by the waiting of this Contention train for 8 few moments, more ol less. It is ts be hoped change fol the better will be made in this res. pect, and that at an early day.

 It would be well if more of our citizens would emulate the spirit of Hon. H. s. Stevens in planting trees. He has not only planted them in front of the Cosmopolitan hotel, but has planted about twenty eight thrifty pepper trees in front of his block of dwelling houses, on Main street, which, in addition to the cut stone wall, will add not only to ap- pearance and comfort, but to the value of the entire property.

was an cAlstlnS outStahulnS grant or the exclusive right of possession and enjoyment, it would seem necessarily to follow that any tortious entry he might make must be unavailing for the purpose of valid location of claim under the act of congress. A location to be effectual must be good at the time it is made. When per fected it has the effect of 8 grant by the United States of the right of present and exclusive possession. As the proceedings to locate is one in which the United States are not directly actors, but is carried on by the locator alone, so that he may take what the United States have, through an act of Congress, offered to give, it is clear that there can be nothing to take until there is an offer to give. Here congress has sad in unmistaka- ble language that what has been once located under the law shall not be relocated until the first location has expired, and it is difficult to see why, if Belk could make his relocation on the 18th of December, he might not on the 18th of January before.
 Landsdale vs. Daniels, 100 U. s. 116.) The original locators and their grantees had precisely the same rights after the last date as they did after the first, the only difference be- ing in duration. To hold that an en- try may be made and the several acts done necessary to perfect reloca' ton before the former location has expired, will be to encourage unseem- ly contests about the possession of the public mineral. bearing lands

Comparison of Milk.

Those who are unacquainted with the char.
scteristics of milk from different breeds of
cows should obtain samples from Ayrshire
and Jersey cows and SET the same side by
sioe. The difference in color and grain may
be very easily observed when both samples
are fresh. While the milk OF the Jersey COW
is of rich-almost golden color-that of the
AYRSHIRE COW is in comparison of pale
white-more like silver in appearance. But
the best test, or the best time for comparison,
is when the samples are about twenty-four
hours old and the cream has arisen on each.
Those who like good, rich, fresh cream for
their coffee at breakfast would not then long
hesitate which to choose, The Ayrshire
cow has her advantages, but, they are not in
favor of the consumer of milk. She may be
more profitable to the owner where quantity
and not quality brings the money. A test
with the lactometer shows difference of 10
to 10 per cent. in favor of the Jersey milk.
