Judge Lynch at Work:

CHICAGO, June 9.-A special says, John Tribbetts the seventeen year old boy who murdered Washington and Trehbach few days ago was brought here yesterday and exam. ined before Justice Rothpletz. To. wards night the propriety of lynch. ing him was freely discussed, but nothing done. About one o'clock this morning, however twenty reso. lute men broke into the jail and with great difficulty broke open his cell and when they grasped him he said, "don't boys, this is too rough" The lynchers then carried him to the railroad track few rods away and rested a ladder against a telegraph pole, and looped one end of it around his neck, then throwing it over round of the ladder, hoisted away. He was dead in a few moments. The lynchers kept a crowd back with drawn revolvers, and as soon as the work was done, scattered in all di, rections. Tribbetts made 8 fuli con- fession last night. He laughed at the crowd that met him yesterday morning, but became depressed at night. The lynchers will probably not suffer for their crime.

FROM the accounts published in the local columns of to-day's EPI. rAPH, it would seem as though the operations of the military were be- ing directed with skill and judgment. The system inaugurated of patrolling the whole country, usually traversed by the hostiles, daily, cannot be too highly commended. By this means it will be almost impossible not to discover any trails made by raiding Indians, and. after discovery, the means of communication being so rapid, the hostiles can be pursued or intercepted from all directions. With the troops so operating, and the pol icy of disarming the reservation In. diahs strictly carried out, the Indian question will soon be settled forever.

The Denver Exhibit,


 EDITOR EPITAPH,
 Sir:--I am very glad to see so much interest taken by the residents of Tombstone In the work of sending an exhibit to Denver, as the letters in your paper of this morning show, that the writer of those letters have some ideas which seem to me imprac- ticable.
 For instance, what authority has Tombstone to name commissioner for the whole of Cochlse county? The address of the Governor called for the appointment of Commiss- toner in each District, and the other Districts are just as much entitled to send a man from their OWL camps as we are. And is Tombstone, single handed, to pay the cost of represent. ing the whole county?
 As to the holding of meeting by the working miners of the District and the appointment of working miner to represent them, as dlstin- guished from all other classes of our citizens, that is project should heartily approve.
 At the last Paris Exposition, great pains were taken and expense incur. red, to send English workingmenyby the thousand, to view the exposition and report upon it. One of them made himself really famous by the thorough and able report he made on foreign manufacturers as viewed from. a workingman's standpoint and have no doubt that the miners and millmen of Ari- zona would be great gathers by hay ing such a representative at Denver. But to obtain this will cost about S4 a day for sixty days, railroad fares and the cost of printing the report. In all, the cost would be at the very least S750, and unless it were done by miner, for the miners and to the miners, it would have no effect. Such | a representative would be worthless to the working miners of the camp | if he were trammeled by official du. ties, or had to make his report to the Legislature.
 The writer of the letter signed "Miner" is mistaken when he says that the Assistant Commissioner is bound to look after the interests of Pima, Yavapai, Mohave and other counties. Those counties, or rather the mining districts in them, are ex. pected to appoint their own Com- All of the work connec. ted with tho Arizona Exibit at Den

THE selection of Prof. Church to represent the Territory of Arizona at the Denver Exposition is most fit ting one, as his extensive knowledge of mines, ores and the science of mining will insure correct interpre. tation and explanation of the great ness of our mineral resources. Hon. Patrick Hamilton was our choice as representative from Tombstone Dis trict, for the reason that We know his ability and recognize his worth. Further, in non.political matters of general interest selections should be so made as to seem non.partisan. However, we are informed that Mir. Sorin has qualifications peculiarly fitted for the position he is called upon to fill, and if the result of his labors equals the expectations of his friends we shall be satisfied.

THE Citizen of yesterday, has an article directed against the pri. vate character of the editor of the EpIrApH-an article no conventional or respectable language can reply to-. Our self-respect, and the regard we owe the family of which we have the honor to be the head, forbids any no. tice of an attack so disgustingly ma- licious, so foully untrue. The article of the Citizen lies before the public, possessing whatever value friends or enemies may attach to it and there we leave it without comment and without thought.
The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-06-10

LET the Democrats of each ward in the city, as will those of every pre- cinct in the country, select faithful and honest Democrats to represent them in the convention. Remember there is careful work to do to bring about respectable and strong or ganization. Nothing should be done in hurry. Let there be delibera. tion and cool judgment. Political mistakes are always hard to rectify, and, therefore, it is safest to avoid them.
The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-06-10

THERE seems to be very few an. nouncements of candidates to repre- sent the different wards of Tomb stone at the convention. A great many are running and 1t seems to be free race, as it should be. The Ep. lTAPH, true to it's announced policy not to advocate individuals, has en- dorsed no one in particular but all good Democrats in general. Of those who have been mentioned as candidates, we have heard the names of none not worthy of seat in the convention.

IT has been suggested to us that the call for meeting of the resi- dents of Tombstone district, to can- vass the Denver exposition matter, should have enapated from those residents and not from Prof. Church who represents no particular point but the Territory at large. A mum. Der of persons have also complained at this office, that the postal cards, requesting attendance at the meeting, did not correctly state its object, in not setting out that commissioner was to be elected from Tombstone district. We satisfy a request in stating the above suggestion and complaint, but do not feel called upon to make any comments.

Not Arizona, Hut COchise County.

TOMBSTONE, June 8, 1882.
 EDITOR EPITAPH:-That Cochise county's mineral resources should be properly represented at the approach. ing Denver exposition, is matter of more than ordinary moment to every prospector. miner and mine owner in the county. To Professor Church, superintendent of the Tombstone Mill & Mining Company, has fallen the honor of representing the Terri tory at large. Needing assistance, he has conferred upon Mir. T.R. Sorin the appointment of assistant. That the appointment is an eminently proper one admits of no question, Mir. Sorin's capability to fill the DO. sition assigned him being universally recognized. But, Messrs. EPITAPH, Cochise county needs at Denver specially accredited representative. At a meeting held on Wednesday evening last, under call from Prof. Church, which did not state the full object of the meeting, MT. Sorin was selected to represent Cvchise county at Denver. Now, Messrs. Editors, can Mir. Sorin who, by virtue of be- ing an assistant Territorial commis. siouer, and in honor bound to look after the interests of our sister counties of Pima, Yavapal, Mohave, Pinal ct al. represent Cocbise county as it should be represented. Is he not as much bound to northern as Arizona as Territorial Commissioner? Undoubtedly so. He would be recreant to trust if he did otherwise. The selection of Mr. Sorin as Commissioner in the dual before stated does not meet the wants or views of the mining men of Cochise county. They demand that this county have a representa- tive at Denver pledged to look out for and advance the special interests of this ecgpty. II other counties choose to trust their individual Tn. terests to general commissioner, so

WAsHINGroN, June 9.-Immedi- ately after the adjournment of the Senate, twenty four Democratic members assembled in caucus for the purpose of interchanging views in regard to the Presidents nomination of the Tariff Commissioners. No at. tempt was made to secure caucus action, and at the conclusion of the conference, which lasted an hour and a half, every Senator was left free to vote in executive session. It was developed, however, that the Demo. cratic members were practically unanimous in holding that the Com. mission was unfairly constituted and should be rejected.

be it. Not SO Cochise. That Mir. Sorin cannot fill the position to which he was selected, under q misappre. hension, is too palpable to admit of question. That he would have been selected had the facts been known is to say that Cochise county would trust her interests to quasi enemy. Now, Messrs. EPITAPH, 1 propose, and in so doing l represent four-fifths of the miners in this county, that mass meeting be held at some time In the near future to select a com. potent man to represent, not Arizona Territory but Cochise county at the Denver Exposition.
 Very respectfully, yours,

EDITOR EPITAPH:

EDITOR ErITAPH:
 Sir:-For the information and benefit of this mining community, we would like some competent person to reply to the following queries:
 Why did Professor John Church in his postal communications, ie: the Denver Exposition, so completely ig- nore the majority of the genuine miners of this District?
 eoond:-Why is it that Professor Church-who professes to represent the mining interests of tho Tomb. stone camp-will not give q state- ment of the bullion product of the "Tombstone Mill and Mining Con- pany" for the month of May?
 Why is it that the real miner, the prospector and the mine owners of this district are called upon to sub scribe money, to project in which they do not have even a represents tion? Now, MT. Editor, it is not that we find any fault with Mr.Sorin, ,whom we believe to be a conscientious gentleman, and one who will do his best for the interests of the camp, at the Denver Exposition; but, we do most decidedly object to the ap. parently high handed manner in which our worthy Commissioner, Prof. Church, carries his points, with. out consulting those miners who are now called upon to "pay the piper," and we think it best that "fair deal" should now take place. Let the "boys" (miners) call meeting and invite specially Prof. Church and his friends, and let us have 'confab" over matters and things pertaining to the interests of our great camp; and we are sure that the necessary funds will be raised and our representative will be sent to Denver in proper shape. As the matter now stands, we do not feel satisfied, and shan't subscribe our coin on any proposition upon which we have not been con- suited.
 AS to Professor Church's not giv. ing the total of the bullion product of the company he superintends, it may be the policy of the company to keep their bullion returns a secret; but, any practical miner knows full we'll that our camp is better repre-. sented by the bullion returns each month than by any amount of "bull- ing" on any other basis. We trust that plain talk will give no offense.
 MANY MINERS.

OH, INDEED !!

The Republican press of Arizona seem to think that the methods which have won in the East for the past seventeen years, will yet win in Arizona in the coming election. They are mistaken. The people of Arizona still maintain the attributes of truth, honesty, honor and justice. They are not reduced to the neces. sity of resorting to personal abuse. When men or journalists resort to that as means of setting forth their views or advocating their cause, they show their own weakness. Men, if they are worthy of the name, only resort to that argument when all else fails them. Sander, dishonesty, untruth and double dealing, will al- way find the level which is the re- ward of the base and the untrue. But truth, within her radiant smile, her honest face and her genial na- ture, shall ever win.
 Let falsehood, islander and double dealing, have their day, but sterling friendship and honesty shall always command the support of decent men and honest women. Let those whose nature is so vile that even :he out. casts of human nature shudder as they pass them, show their impotent rage like the CUTS that they are but honesty and honor can bid defiance to their vaporings and laugh at their potent malice.

IT is to be hoped that tho result of the primaries to-day will engender no hard feelings, but that every one will submit gracefully to the will of the majority. Let the voters labor and cast their ballots for the candi. dates of their choice, without any feelings other than one for the well fare of the Democratic party. A difference of opinion as to the ft- ness of political aspirants, should be settled peaceably at the ballot box, and not be ventilated in rancor or enmity.

WEEKLY EPITAPH.
THE DENVER EXPOSITION.


 The meeting last night was very respectable one, and passed off har- moniously. Its purpose was good, and its result will be most beneficial to the Territory in materially ad- vancing its mineral interests with the world at large. The object of the meeting was to incite the people of Tombstone District to activity in the matter of taking steps to secure a representative collection of mineral specimens from the mines of Tomb stone, and to select person to properly exhibit those specimens at the Denver exposition. Too much importance cannot be given to this matter, for upon the exhibit made will be predicated much of the imme- diate future prosperity of Arizona. The exposition will be the first of the kind ever held in the United States, and extraordinary steps are being taken in all parts of the coun- try towards making it tho most complete and brilliant exhibit of ores and geological peculiarlties ever known. The mining world will con- gregate at Denver to observe and study, and capital will be. there watching chances for investment. Owners of mining property Tn Tomb stone district should earnestly and laboriously cooperate with the com missioners in selecting and classify. ing the mineral products of their properties, so that the wonderful re- sources of this camp may receive the attention due them. The exposition will present legitimate means of advertisement, that will do more to- wards securing the investment of capital than any other method of at- traction. Residents of the city of Tombstone should remember that their final existence depends upon the production of their mines, and that production upon development. Cspi. tai IS required to create bullion.pro- ducing mines, and nothing should be left undone that will have any ten. dency to secure its investment. Our mines never looked better than they do to-day, and new and remarkable strikes are being cons antly made, but mining in Tombstone district is still in it's infancy-as yet much re- mans to be accomplished before it may be said that it has reached the acme of prosperity. There cannot be displayed too much enterprise in . mining camp, especially to accom- plish SO desirable an end as neces- sarily will be gained by good ex. hibit at the Denver Exposition.
The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-06-10


 resources of the Territory will not only be presented at Denver, but to the world. The time allowed us is very short, and work should be com menced at once. Six stations have been named along the railroa lat Yuma, Maricopa, Tucson, Benson, Wilcox and Bowie-where speci- mems will be collected and trans ported. The pr, lessor illustrated that the expense attending the gath. ering and shipping of specimens will be considerable, and suggested the collection of five dollar subscriptions. He assured the audience that the producing mines would not stand back, but would contribute literally. After the exposition it must be de- termined what shall be done with the specimens, whether or no they shall be disposed of or placed on exhibi- ton in some scientific institution. Each mining camp is to se- lect its own representative, and Tombstone, being the largest in the Territory, should make the best showing.
 The remarks of Professor Church were loudly applauded.
 It was then moved by Judge B. L. Peel, that Thos. R. Sorin, repre- sent Tombstone mining district at the Denver exposition.
 Mir. John Drum moved as an amendment, that the name of Pat. rick Hamilton be substituted for that of Thos. R. Sorin, which motion elici- ted demonstrations of applause.
 Mr. Drum eulogized the ability of MT. Hamilton and Judge William Herring that of Mir. Sorin, and both gentlemen were applauded. A vote was then taken upon the amendment with result of 3S for and AZ against. Mir. Sorin was then, after vote upon the original motion, declared elected. Professor Church was put in nomina- tion by Judge Southland but declined, and after the ballot ing, moved that committee of seven be appointed by the chair to solicit subscriptions. The motion being carried, the chair appointed Messrs. Peel, Joyce, Rice, Thornton and Farrell as the committee.
 Judge John M. Murphy then ad- dressed the meeting at some length, citing the activity displayed in the matter of mineral display at the coming exposition by the Territory of Dakota, notably at the Black Hills. His remarks elicited applause. Judge Peel then stated to the meet ing that he had spent great deal of time in the collection of minerals and had gotten up cabinet in Cali fornia that was the wonder of all he holders. He urged the miners to collect big specimens and not to bother about little ones; that the spectators did not care how much mineral the specimens contained, but only wanted to see them of large size. He was also applauded.
 After statement by Prof. Church that he had had labels prepared for collections, the meeting then ad- journe1 sine die.

CONCENTRATION

A COMMUNICATION in to.day's EplrAPH finds some fault with Prof. Church for not giving to the public the bullion yield of the Tombstone Mill and Mining Company for the month of May. In the matter of correspondence, it is the policy of this paper to give space to anyone who may desire to express ideas,upon any question, not abusively personal, reserving the right of editorial com. ment. In this instance 1t is our opinion that Prof. Church has the sole right to do as he pleases in all matters connected with his private business, and that no one is privi- legged to question his actions in that respect.
