 The roads from here to Crittenden are in bad condition for travel since the heavy rains, and require the attention of the road oysrseer. The CrittendeD folks all seem happy over their prospects.

The hauling of ore and coke from here to Charleston to the Tombstone Mill and Mining Com pany's smelter, and bullion back from there, and hauling of coke to Bisbee and also the copper bullion on the return trip makes & brisk business ID tesming which is earned on by the prince of frelghters. Mir. James Carr. To look st the num- Der of freight wagons there, some in use and others idle, this town should be called the city of prairie schOOners- The rOsd from there to Charleston, distance of seven miles. IS in good con dition. The town of Charleston Is kept up at present by the Tombstone Null and Mining Company, where their twenty stamp mill, thirty-eight ton furnace, and one hundred ton per day concentration works all are running ID full blast
 They are concentrating the tsilipgs that has accumulated from their stamp mills during the past tivo years, cODcentrat- ing from five and 6 half to six and half tons into one, using the Frue V6n- ners, which are under the charge of II. O. Stone and Leary Gearey, two old hands at the business. The concentra- tions are passed to the brick machine where it Id made into bricks and dried In the sun and then taken to the iurn- snce and run through with galena ores, usually custom ores.

MT. ae-- rera, of the firm ot Herrera & Mcclure, who has been postmaster SO long, came to the conclusion that he did not want Co hold office under Democratic ad; ministrstion, consequently about SIX weeks ago he turned the office over to his Democratic friend, Mir. 5. Ksizen- stein. The people of this town seem to be orderly and enjoy themselves, as they were having hOrse racing and foot racing by moonlight.
 Tho distance from Charleston to Tombstone IS nine miles. The stage makes the trip every evening. To Tomb stone in lees than ten minutes after meeting with that whole-souled fellow Capt. John Raferty, We were on our way with a fine team to examine the mills and hoisting works of the numerous mines, which I will not undertake tO de scribe, as the description has been often given by others more capable for the occasion. Tombstone, to a visitor. seems lively, but people here say that business IS overdone, especially in mer- chsndising, restaurants and hotels. By the way I would not advise the landlord of one of those high toned hotels to round up his bed bugs. Could your correspondent have accomplished that task he would be the pOssessor of s cheap lot of bugs at an outlay of only one dollar and half. A. B.
