 Enthusiastic Reception of Demo- cratic Candidates, Etc.
 Special Correspondence of the Epitaph.l
 RUSSELL, A. T. October 17-As this camp. has not had a place in the EPITAPH for long time past will presume on former indulgences and send you d few notes of late occurrences here and the camps status. At the present time it has better outlook, and its resources give greater promise of assured and permanent prosperity than ever before in its history.
 The Russell Company shelter is now running at full capacity,and continuously, with a result of between five and six tons of bullion daily. All trouble formerly ex- perienced by the Russell Company in se- curing sufliciency of water for their smelter has been removed by sinking more wells and now nothing interferes to cause delays and stoppings in its opera tons.
 THE PEABODY MINE,
 the leading and only producing mine at present of the camp, has never shown to better advantage. The drift on the no foot level is now driven 140 feet, and shows full face of high grade ore, and the stop ings from this level show large reserves of excellent ore. The winze down to the 170-fOot level shows finely, as also the two drifts run from this level, and the cross cut, which shows for 30 feet continuous body of ore across the formation. The ore from this mine gives an average yield of 20 per cent copper, and an average of gold and silver taken together, $150 to $200 per ton. Several other mines of the district are being developed, which give evidence of great promise and assurance of returns for the expenditures being made Assessment work is being done throughout the district, and altogether the camp has taken on lively, bright and business like character.
 IN POINT OF POLITICS
 our people take a due and laudable in. terest. Messrs. A. T. Jones, Ben Good rich, l.. W. Carr, Gen. Wardwell and Marcus Smith, spent the 10th here. The whole day was given by these gentlemen in seeing the mines, getting acquainted with our people, seeing old friends and making new ones. In the evening bon fire was made, stand erected, and we had a speech from each one of the candi- dates named, and from the applause greet ing each one, MT. Editor, it IS a certainty that not one of the democratic nominees will receive anything short of a rousing majority here. All of the speakers made favorable impressions. MT. L. W. Carr, in his plain, straightforward way, thor. oughly and satisfactorily disposed of the groundless and empty charges made against him, and convinced all here that the democrats of 'Cochise county have, as their nominee for sheriff, man of busi- ness qualifications and
 CAPACITY IN AMPLE DEGREE necessary for the office, and Of unflinching integrity, staying and other qualities suf- icient to the llmeasuTe. Messrs. Good rich, Smith and Jones, all made good and eflcrtive speeches, convincing as to their respective adaptability to the offices which they seek Gen. Wardwell fairly carried his auditory and all who heard him. The General has a peculiarly happy way of presenting his claims, and of showing that the opposing candidates have no claims. When he directed his artillery specially on his opponent Dunbar, whom he claims takes advantage of him in the the use of his newspaper he was greeted by rounds of applause, coming from all ir- respective of party. The General cannot be downed. The visit of the gentlemen named has done the whole ticket good in convincing that not one objectionable feature belongs to it.
 Mir Wm. Breckenridge, with his genial ways, left yesterday after two days visik carrying with him the respect of all for his truly democratic merits. Break has many old and true friends here.
 This camp is largely democratic, small number ot republicans and no inde- pendents. The idea prevailing seems to be, among both democrats and republicans, that they will support the respective and if on personal grounds they cannot do so, and have to cut their ticket, they will seek in the nominees of the op- posing party men of stable and defined political principles as well as other quali- ties essential for the office, and no indc. pendcnts need apply. DEMOCRAT,
 A Nice Point of Law.
