Your Answer.

EDITOR TOMBSTONE Allow me to ask your authority for the statement that our teachers are willing to ac- cept reduced salaries. 1 doubt it very much. Efficient teachers are at a premium in Arizona at present. Sev- eral schools in the northern counties have been closed because teachers were not to be found.
 Let us not be penny-wise and drive away our present corp of teachers, for we shall thereby do irreparable in jury to public schools, which are con ceded to be at present the best in the Territory. FREE SCHOOLS"

EDITOR DAILY TOMBSTONE SIR The statement of James Letson pub lished on the 27th, I have but just seen, and 1 wish to state that it is not right and does me an injustice, and I can prove it. had some words with Letson about the whisky, but l did nUt call him all sorts of names. He struck me but did not knock me down. He would like to make out that he is John l.. Sullivan. ThOmp- son separated us. In regard to Mills I had no words with him, he wants to put himself in the case because 1 would not trust him for whisky. Let son called him that was on the porch. l seen him at my place some time ago, and 1 had not seen him again up to the day he came around. l lost some wine some time ago and man said that he took it, so when he I seen him l told him to stay away and get off the porch, and he drew knife on he, and I raised chair but did not strike him, and then they fined me one dollar and fourteen dollars costs. The Thompson matter I cant say anything about, but I find that there are several different stories about it, all different from Letsons.
 Respectfully, c. O. WILSON.

..shoYing 1I.e Queer.

A tall, slim man with a cowboy hat and otherwise having the appearance of belonging to this hardy race of citi- zens was rround town yesterday, en- gagged in the pastime of trying to dis pose of lot of bogus five dollar gold pieces. He succeeded in getting rid of a number of them, but Chief of Police Dodson got on to his game, and 1t is supposed that fearing arrest he left town. Two deputies of the Uuited States left in pursuit of him this morning, He evidently has the necessary outfit for the manufacture of the bogus coin, as it is made out of soft metal and then plated with gold A man answering the same description visited a number of drug stores on Saturday in search of chloride of gold and cyanide of potash which are both used in gold plating.
 Deputy Marshal Boyle returned at noon to-day having in charge the above individual. His name is James Fisher and he has been living on Geo. H. Curry's ranch near Granite Noun tain. He worked for Mir. Curry short time last fall and since that time has been engaged in chopping wood with man named Goss. The latter was arrested also and brought into town, but there being no evidence against him he was allowed to return to the ranch. A search of the premi- ses was made in the hope of finding the outfit used in the manufacture of the bogus stuff, but without success. Fisher is a young man about p or g years of age. His preliminary exami nation was set for three o'clock this afternoon before w. H. McG1ew, United States Court Commissioner. The bogus coin was very fair imita- tion of the genuine, and is now held by Deputy Marshal c. T. Dunyan.- Journal

THE BIG LOTTERY PRIZE.
How Fortunes Fell dO Gaiif6r- nisns in the Last Drawing Og'
 fIle Louisiana Lottery.

Jacob Marzolf is q jOvial German, who came to California in the early days, and finally settled down as pro prietor of a little saloon at Blacks station, Yola county. For ten years "Jake's Saloon" has been a well known resort there. About year ago c. c. HowX, who spent most of his time prospecting in the neighboring nills, although with little success, suggested to Jake that they might "strike it rich" by investing in The Louisiana Stat9 Lottery. On Jan. i, 1885, the two started in together to buy five %1 tick cts every month for one year. They were lucky in the first drawing, and continued winning small small prizes amounting to over $200. Just before the last drawing they decided to quit buying tickets altogether when the year was over. Howx went into the hills, Jake tended his saloon, and neither dreamed of the good fortune ill store for them. When the news came over the wires that some one in Blacks Station had drawn e-tenth of the capital prize, $150,000, the little town wss excited with curiosity as to who was the lucky man. Jake went down into his well worn pocket-book, and was overjoyed on seeing that one of the tickets which t contained was number 59,255. His partner was i'm mediately notified of the bonanza they had struck He returned to town, and when the money was collected soon after, through the Bank of Wood land, it was divided between the two. Both have altered their resolution in regard to buying tickets, and will con tinue investing on a larger scale dur ing the present year.
 A happy-looking, handsome man stepped out Of the office in the pro duce store at 43S Eleventh St, West Oakland, and pleasantly greeted Call reporter, who inquired for Columbus R. Lewis. Mr. Lewis Is another par ticipator in the good luck that fell to California in the December drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery, hay ing won one-tenth of the $l50,000 prize. He is 8 widely known citizen of Oakland, and resides with his fam fly in cosy home at 1453 Brush street. He came to California in 1860 and has been a produce merchant across the bay 15 years. He has not been at all Hurried by the receipt of his big Christmas present, and is as methodical in his business as ever. He began buying lottery tickets many yeaas ago, and has continued doing so off an on ever since. By experience he grew to accept the outcome of each drawing philosophically, and he calm ly heard the news when told that the coupon No. 69,255, which he held, made him $15,O00 richer than he had been before.
 San Francisco also kept up it's run of luck in the Lottery, Henry Adams of 427 Geary street having won $1,000 in the last drawing-San Francisco (Cal), Call, Jan. 10.

G. $. Bradshaw is one of the proud est men in town to-day and the cause of all his good feelings is a dog, a reg ular bull terrier Brad has always had d fondness for dogs, regular bull dogs, but he never found one that suited him until last night when he saw one that caught his fancy. He soon was negotiating with the owner for the dog and finally purchased him paying the sum of $50 to its owner. It took. Brad several hours last even ing to summon up courage enough to go near the dog, but he finally did so, and he and the dog are now the best of friends. He had the dog chained to him to-day while on the streets, so that he would know that he was its master.

A New Strike.

As our reporter was coming down Allen streeG this afternoon, he over heard two gentlemen talking about a rich strike occurring some place. The gentlemen were so earnest in their re- marks, that the reporter finally ac- costed them and asked for some. in- formation regarding this wonderful strike. The gentlemen stated that they would do so with pleasure, as there was nothing secret about it. They said that the strike was in. the Oriental saloon and that the ore was the finest of wines. liquors and cigars, and advised everybody to go and get a sample

.& Correction.

EDITOR TOMBSTONE Allow me to state that Miners wife" in this morn ings Epitaph overestimates the an- nual salary of our teachers, as we have never had more than nine months of school during any preceding year, making an average monthly salary of S75, from which must be also deducted the discount of from ten to twenty per cent. on the teachers vouchers.
 How many patrons Of the public schools know this fact: That there has never been month in the history of Tombstone when the teachers were sure of finding euough money in the treasury to pay their salaries? and "the highest market price" under these circumstances has generally been a discount of twenty per cent.
 dc not believe there is a miner in this town, having a family, who will say that the teachers are paid too mnch for their work, for the miner works eight hours per day for his child and receives $90 per month in clean cash, while the teacher works six hours per day far the same child and receives an average of $75 per month with possible discount re- ducing it to $6O. The miner has the prospect of bright, intelligent fami- ly growing up around him with the best school advantages, while the teacher receives scanty reward for her Jaithful work and has little that IS in- viting to look forward to in the future.

Money is plenty at the City of Mex ico, owing to the fact that the mer- chants are not remitting to the United States and Europe, as they are hold ing back, hoping for rise in silver.
 An exchange says that if man dies or gets married or does some big thing, it is expected that the home paper will give him a "send off," but if he gets drunk, or his wife catches him kissing the hired girl, it is ex- pected that the home paper will be as silent as tomb stonG.-Valley Echo.
 The Denver News, hit the Lark when it said "As soon as silver dol lar Is coined it is put in d burglar proof vault and fastened in with q time-lock. Then the coyotes of the National banks sit around and howl because that dollar dosn't circulate. How can it circulate when it can't get out?" That is the point forcibly expressed.
 Woodland Mail (Rep): The Dem ocratic platform declares: "We be- lieve in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution, and circulating medium convertible into such money without loss" The paroy is bound by this declaration, and must stand by it in good faith. Yet we see the President elected on that platform exerting every influence to .obliterate from the coinage one of the metals above enumerated, to throw all the business of the country upon one single metal, for the sake of increas- ing the profit of money dealers and usurers.

A Tribute to Local Papers.

Every year, says the Hon. David Davis, in letter to an eastern literary prper, every local paper gives from $100 to 5000 in free lines for the sole benefit of the vicinity in which it is located. The local editor, in propor- tion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men, and in all fairness, man with man, he ought to be supported, not because you may happen to like him or admire his wri- ting, but because local paper Is the best investment q community can make. It may not be brilliant or crowded with great thoughts, but ti- nancially it is more of benefit to a community than q preacher or q teacher. Understand me now, l do not mean morally or intellectually, but financially, and yet on this moral question you will find the majority of the local papers are on the right side of the question. To-day the editors of the local papers do the most work for the least money of any man on earth. Subscribe for and advertise in your local paper, not as charity, but as investment.

l AI 1A O ClOCh bO-llSilU GliV ClllllCoC New Year will begin. For the past week great preparations have been going on in Chinatown, and during the next few days "King Hae Fat tsoi!" signifying Happy New Year, will be heard on every side. To these superstitious people, Chinese New Year is q great occasion, and upon the omens which it gives out is sup posed to depend the good or i'll for tune of the celebrants through the coming year. From the blooming of the Sue Sing Fla, or good luck flower, to the position of a shadow incidents are remarked and depended upon with religious simplicity.
 Why the Chinese New Year is celebrated is not definitely settled. It Is alleged by some that the Chinese accept the time as we do our Sunday, as an anniversary of religious signifi- cence. Others believe it to be merely social holiday. Whatever originated it, it is now season of both social revelry and of praying to the josses. All work is given up for a week, if possible, and trading and other busi- ness is given up. Feasting is the principle occupation of the Chinese during their New Year season, mak- ing presents being secondary to it.. It is also a time for social calls. When the New Year season is declared opened the Chinese fasten to the doors of their friends, red papers upon which is written the word, "Hoi Nun Tai Kat" or, may good luck at tend you when you open this door. Other similarly displayed literature, consists of poetical couplcts. These are hung upon the walls. One of them reads, "Took sin ying kan sui, kam vat shi san ning," which means, last night it was still old year, but to- day new year is here. Another is "Took ye vat tan mo shui, kam chin nun chun flung" or, last night all in disorder and furry, this morning full of happiness. By midnight all the Chinese will have cleaned up their premises. Everything will be swept and scrubbed spotless, and then all articles in the shape of broom or brush will be hidden. If China man sees a broom on New Years day, he believes that it will sweep away his luck through the succeeding 353 days of the Mongolian year. It k thought that the same thing will happen if a friend visits without. making presents to the family or if presents offered are refused. The blooming of the Sue Sing Fa flower is also considered lucky omen, and if in addition a Chinaman can begin the year with his cash accounts equally balanced, there is nothing to mar his happiness. This evening the Chinese will eat the "tuen min" feast, which is supposed to successfully wind up the old year. Tomorrow they will eat the "hoi min" feast to open the new year.
 Firecrackers and bombs are shot off to drive the devil and other evil spirits out of Chinatown, as 1t is believed that he is always monkeying around at this season of the year.

Who Got the Money.


 Prescott Courier shows how the money that was appropriated by the last legislature for the so called printing steal" was disbursed.
 From the time of the organization of Arizona as a Territory to the be. ginning of the year 1881, Republican printers and officials got from the General and Territorial Governments for printing, fully S50,000, and from 1881, up to date, upwards of $30,000 at least $S0,000, all toldI We state right here, and are prepared to prove what we state, that much of this great sum was paid for work that was never performed, and that the bonds men of one of the Territory's many Secretaries have been sued by govern ment for about 5000 of the amount, which, government asserts, he ex- pended upon Republican papers with out authority of law Against this mountain of money, which Republi- can politicians and printers made, !" Democratic offices received not to ex- ceed $15,OOO, for printing of all kinds done for Federal officials and the Territorial Government. Of this last sum, we are charged with about $13,- 900, $1 300 of which went to R. c. Brown, late of the Tucson Citizen, a Republican paper; $500 to Geo. W. Brown, now of the Citizen; $500 to T. F. Weedin, of the Florence Enter prise, and smaller sums to others. For this money we printed, in full, Journals of the two last sessions of the Legislature, Reports, in book form, of the Treasurer, Auditor, Superin- tendent of Public Instruction and other officers of the Territorial Gov ernment, besides some bills, Rules of both houses, letter heads, envelopes, etc., etc. We were awarded contract for printing journals because nc other printer had ever been equal to the task cf printing them, full and con- plete, each day - two Republican printers having agreed to do so and failed. Tha! We made good profit on the work we shall not attempt to deny; that au office that, ill order to do the work in a short space of time, had to employ a large force of skilled, high-priced workmen, by day and night, upon the work, should have made something for itself, is, we hard ly think, crime. Finally. most of the work that was done by us is in a good state of preservation, while much of that for which Republican offices were paid is, as we have before stated, gone, no one knows where, so that allegations of the Attorney-Gen- eral and manager of Republican print ing offices, likewise those of his peon, Morford, who draws $100 a month from the Territorial Treasury, as sec retary of the Lunatic Board, are fimsy, but vicious, lies.
