Calumet & Hecla.

The following anecdcte IS related by traveller, of the singular discov- cry If what is now the great Calumet & Hecla copper mine:
 Some eighteen or twenty years ago, an old log building used as hotel, stood near this place, kept by d half-breed Indian. Parties ex- ploring the country stopped at the house for dinner. The landlord went out to capture a small pig to roast. Having some difficulty in catching it one of the parties pro- posed to shoot it. In accordance with the proposition he started in pursuit of the pig which ran under some brush growing near; in his haste to overtake the pig, shallow pit, partly concealed by brush and leaves, escaped his notice. In this pit the pig hid itself. In searching about for the pig the man fell into the pit, receiving light injuries by the fall, and feeling some hard sub stance under the leaves, commenced to remove the rubbish, and found small boulders of great weight for their size. An investigation with jack.knife showed them to be of pure copper. Thus the credit of finding the richest copper mine in the world belongs to pig. So the story goes in this country.

GENERAL SHERMAN WILL COME

The mayor aud common council held special meeting last Saturda, evening to take steps for the proper reception of General Sherman, who has s,gi6ed his intention to be in Tombstone at some time between the sixth and eighth of the presen, month. Should he arrive here on the sixth that will be on Thursday, but if he is delayed so late as the eighth that will be on Saturday. Thus, in either event, the time is near at hand, and what is done must be done speedily. A committee of 100 citizens was appointed to meet at the court house at seven o'clock this evening. Whatever course the committee decide upon, the plan for the entertainment of our distinguish ed guest should be so laid that it can be carried into execution at a mo- ment's notice, for it is more than probable that he will drop down into our midst at Ca day and hour that no man knoweth," and it is not prob. able, in the light of his reply to the mayor of Tucson, which IS published in another column, that he will give any extra time here for making ready the festive board. We trust the reception will be on scale be- fitting the great mining center oi Arizona, and that our people will all join in doing honor to the general of the nations army.

THE Yellow Jacket pumps have been stopped, with resolution on the part of the company not to start them again until other companies will assist in the work of drainage. The Bullion company are putting Tn A bulk head or the 2,200 foot level to keep the floods from inundating their mine. The water will have to rise l9O feet to reach the buikhead, and it was expected it would do so in ,hree days. As the pump ceased work at 3 o'clock p. m. on the 20th of March, the water now must be long way above the Bullion level and sweeping through the myriad drifts, wir zes, tunnels and galleries of the Yellow Jacket and adjoining mines,

A Renlfnisence.

Early in the history of Nebraska, says the Boomerang, there was a spirit of religious intolerance in the neighborhood Of Fremont that made the warfare of the pioneer Christian red hot combat at times.
 The Germans of Fremont got a preacher in those days who could round up the sinner in two different languages. He spoke equally well in English and German, and in order to evade a deadly war among the members of his fold he used to be- seech the people to flee from the wrath to come alternately in English and German.
 At last, however, those who pre- ferred the German gospel thought they were in the majority, and asked that the imported variety of salvation be used altogether.
 This created a feeling on the part of those who were paying their money for Yankee sermon bI week ly, and for time Zion lang uished.
 The following Sunday, the sermon, according to schedule was to be de. livered in English, but after singing, Jesus, Lover of my Soul" and of fering a short prayer, the preacher turned loose in an earnest and tear ful appeal in the German language, which abou: one. halt of the congre gation co .ldn't understand word of.
 They sat there few moments, till they saw that the preacher had de- clared himself in favor of the other side, and then there was music by the entire choir.
 The congregation had prepared for an emergency of this kind, and every man had cottonwood club under his coat.tail. When the tocsln of war sounded, the destructive hoe handle and concealed bed.slat came to the front.

T.MBsTONE w, M. & l.. co. A 25O.OOO-GnilOn Pumping Engine
 i'm bperatiOn.

There has never been any enterprise ln- augurated in Tombstone that was pushed from it's inception to it's completion to compare with the Tombstone Water, Mill and Lumber company's works for furnish ing this city with an abundant and cheap water supply. By most people the scheme of pumping water from the wells at Water
 vale was looked upon as impracticable
 First, there would not De water enough to supply ,he city, and second, it would cost so much to pump the water that it could not be sold at paying rates to the company and living rates to the consumers. These obiections were purely fallaclous. The water supply so far as tested is not less than 100000 gallons in twenty hours, and the cost of pumping is so low that the first move that the company made upon getting its m iins laid throughout the city was to reduce rates just one-half, or from one cent per gallon to one-half cent per gallon. This was not the only benefit that accrued to our people. The water was SO cheap and abundant that 1t became possible to sprinkle the streets aLd thus rid the city of the bliading clouds or dust from winch so much discomfort had been experienced previously, In the two or three incipient fires that have been eX- perenced since the Tombstone company's mains and hydrants were put in. the peo
 pie nave felt the benefit ip most impor- tant manner, and appreciate the works very highly. Mir. Leveridge, the principal owner and general manager, feeling the importance of having a pump Tn reserve to guard against accidents, has received Il new 25O,0OO gallon Worthington com
 D, und pump, which was set in motion last Thursday, and is accomplishing won ders in the way of increasing the pump ing capacity iu case of nc This pump weighs 7.2OO pounds, and cost, laid down at the works, $2,7S0. When an EPITAPH reporter was at the works on Sunday, it was running on 40 pounds of steam, 50 strokes to the minute. and pumping 0,ooU gallons per hour. The pressure gauge on the main leading to the reservoir indicated 160 pounds pressure per square inch Atthe reservoir there was an uninterrupted flow of water as clear as crystal and cod as the best we'll water can be. In case of fire such as the one of last June, this pump can be run to Its full capacity and furnish an uninterrupted supply of over 11,OOC gallons an hour, in addition to what the | reservoir holds at the commencement, tc drain from it. It will be seen by the fore going that the Tombstone Water, Mill ant
 Lumber company more than keep even
 with every demand made upon them.

 THE discourses as delivered at the Pres byterian church, by the pastor yesterday, were very instructive and elegant Prayer was the subject of the morning sermon and the doctor showed how that not all prayers would be answered by God, but only such as were offered in the spirit o submission to his will.

 It is we'll authenticated that the Earps and their immediate following passed Albuquerque on the 18th in stant, bound east. They have, in all probability, left Arizona for good, and will not be seen in that territory again. This is the wisest course they could pursue. Their lives were not safe for moment in Tombstone, even if they had given themselves up to the authorities, for the sheriff is inimlcal to them, ,.and they felt that in his hands they would be entirely at the mercy of the cowboys.

General Sherman'ri TOur-Guuymas
 NOtea.

TUCsoN, April 3.-General Sher- man and party reached Fort Grant on the lst instant and left on the 3d for Fort Thomas, from thence they go to the San Carlos Indian agency. The general telegraphs to the mayor of Tucson that it is impossible for him to fix the day of his arrival here, for the reason that he will first visit Huachuca and Tombstone. He states that his object in visiting is to see the actual condition of affairs, and not so much to make any imme- diate changes but to be prepared to advise congress and the war depart. ment hereafter. On his arrival here he will take quarters at hotel. He will visit Fort Lowell and see, in his own way, all the changes since hls last visit. He will re- main here twenty.four hours and then go to Maricopa and Fort Me- lowell. He thinks he will know the geography and existing resources of Arizona before he is done. Gen. eral Wilcox and staff accompany him throughout the territory.
 Information from Guaymas IS to the effect that there are three vessels there unloading railroad ties, and three more are expected. The rail road company is now working from both ends and will probably be com pleted to Calabasas, Arizona, by the lst of May.

PEACE MEASURES.

1t is a somewhat psradoxical dec laratlon that "we must have peace II we have to fight for It." Neverthe- less, emergencies sometime exist Tn human affairs which give a peculiar fitness to such declaration. The recent events in Cochise county make it incumbent upon not only officials, but all good citizens as well, to take such positive measures as will speed ily rid this section of that murderous, thieung element which have made us reproach before the world and so seriously retarded the industry and progress of our county. It IS a great satisfaction to know that the people have finally reused themselves to such action, for the will of the people is always supreme, and hence we confidently look for an era of peace and security; for a time ir the near future when the capitalist and stranger will no longer hesitate to invest or even visit.
 Gov. +. A. Trltle has just spent a week in our midst, and has thorough ly investigated the situation, and wc believe understands it in all its phases. Having satisfied himself upon the various points in the com plications, he has made arrangements with United States Deputy Marshal J. H. Jackson to have posse of men organized to be used at once if re- quired, and also to raise militia company to be used as rangers, if congress appropriates the necessary money. In addition to the forego- ing, committee of citizens has been appointed to organ'ze another militia company. Another committee of cit. izens was appointed to raise money to be used in case the militia is or. dered into service. If congress makes an appropriation then such subscrip tions are to be refunded.
 The governor has sent communi- cation to the president asking him tc request congress to appropriate $l5O,' 900, to be used for the protection ot the southern border of the territory and to assist the civil authorities 1T enforcing the law.
 The foregoing is brief outline o the measures thus far inauguratet by the governor for the protection O life aud property in our midst. Il now remains to be seen if the peopl, will manfully put their shoulders tc the wheel and assist in evolving orde out of the present chaos. Believing that more healthy'pub.ic sentimen exist to-day than there did few months ago, we do not anticipate an. holding back on the part of gooc citizens, in sustaining the governo in the position he has taken t' straighten out our affairs. Tim, will tell.

Mr Hooker aud tue sheriT's Posse.
 The following communication that ap- peared in the columns of the Nugget yes lerday morning, is commended to the thoughtful people and taxpayers of Cochse county, and more particularly SD from it's having been found in the columns of the Nugget, that organ ot the sheriff s office:
 EDITOR NUGGET: In your issue of Thursday you published d report brought back by the sherlif's posse of the treat. ment they received from Il. C. Hooker at the Sierra Bonlto ranch. It is sad and strong commentary on the condition Ot our public affairs. Mir. ilooker is now, and has been for years known as the cattle king of ArlZona. He has built under the shadows ot Mount Graham home oi refine nent and culture. His possessions are all estate. His blOoded cattle literally range on thousand hills, and his stud ol high bred horses are the pride of the territory in that line. During the many and long years he has been at his ranch he has suffered, prob ably beyond anyone else, from the raids of hostile Indians and marauding cowboys. He has paid out large sums of money for protection and safety and has, Tn return, been annoyed, perseculed and prosecuted, and has had hls life threatened more than once. When such man as this speaAs in contemptuous terms of the law and the of | ticers, il is not in wantonness or bra. vado, but out of the bitter depths of d sad experience. No one-except perhaps the Lesinskys at the Clifton copper mines has SD much at stake in Graham county as has the wealthy owner of the Sierra Bo
 nilo, and therefore no one ihere has q greater desire for the rigid enforcement ol ] law and order and the prompi punishmenl
