Latest advices from Springerville in- form us that on last Sunday, Messrs. Lee and Armstrong, who are in the em- ploy of MT. Pete Slaughter, and camped on the Nutrioso, left Springerville on their return to camp. The landscape being monotonous and the journey with out incident, like sudden inspiration these chums and friends imbibed the idea to enliven the dull and dreary waste with the signs and symptoms of ener- getic life. A playful, sportive exchange of civilities followed, in which they had no other object than to introduce sky lights in the latest novelty of the cow boy hat-but "the best laid plans of men and mice aft gang aglee." This innocent recreation proved more anus ing than healthful as both gentlemen more hasty than expert in bringing about the needed reform, mistook the target and misdirected their aim. The air was vocal with sound, the hats were undis- turbed and uninterrupted participants in the fun, but the boys, o, where are they. The doctors who were called in as umpires, will tell you all about it.
 Two or three wounds each will sum up the casualties. It is said that both will recover. "All's we'll, that ends well. :"

Miners, attorneys and business men will be glad to know that Copp's Mining Code has been revised and brought down to March, 1886. It carefully 1condenses the mining decisions of the courts and the land department, gives all the late Land Office instructions and circulars, the several United States mining stat utes in full, and all the local mining laws, as promulgated, of the several Western States and Territories. together with the forms for location notice, mln- er's lien, notice to delinquent co-owners, application for patent, adverse claim. lease, deed, etc. It is the latest, cheap est, and only reliable miners guide now before the public Send for a copy. Price 50 cents.
 It appears to be tine general belief among the cattlemen that steers make better beef when matured in more northerly climate. This may be true. They are of the impression also that there IS better market m that section than there is here. It may be so at the present time, but we predict that in few years Arizona will be one of the best markets in the west for range cattle. She is more favorably located than any of the Territories, having ready ship ping facilities both east and west. Is about as close to the Chicago and St. Louis markets as she is to San Francis co, to say nothing of the advantages af- forded by Kansas City. Southern Cali fornIa is already drawing largely on this Territory for her beef supply, and San Francisco has been an occasional buyer for the past two or three years, with the chances good for her relying on Arizona and Southern New Mexico for her beef, almost exclusively in the near future.

Hns Reen Solved

EDITOR TOMBSTONE :-Onc of the answerable questions has at last been solved to the satisfaction of go per cent of the voters of Cochise county. The question in the past has been how to most thoroughly reconstruct and cleanse the Republican party of this county so as 10 become more united and able to stand as men be- fore the people and present to them a ticket that would be free from Tweed and Buckley bossism. It has at last reached climax, thanks to the gen. tlemen composing the Republican County Central Committee. To them we owe the indiEputable fact that J. Q. Dunbar has been given the cold shoulder, or in ether words, if you please, MT. Editor, kicked out. How it ever assumed such a gigantic ne- cessity heretofore that 1t Was deemed necessary to correct the ex-Treas- urer, mean e1-defaulting Treas urer with the peoples party, it has been more than can tell or sunise, without they wanted to build up the party on Dun5ar's buried past mockingly repeated buried past reiterated buried past. More than z dozen times each day hear Demo- crats repeat "down with any candi- date he advocates" If Democrats they keep bad company; if Republi- cans let them live ir private life they must be contaminated or the Berry Dunbar sheet would not fdunt them 10 the breeze. To the CentraI Committee I would say God speed you in your good work; you have done we'll. You must, compossd of the men you are, do better.

About Silver.

Senator Sherman does not seem. to realize that his silver views are absurd The proposition to put silver enough into the silver dollar to make it equal to 2 Id is no solution to the silver question. If the value of silver is to be measured by gold the weight of the silver dollar would change with each quotation. Tae silver dollar of 4l21 grains is as old as the the Gov srnment, IL was legal tender from I792 to 1873 when its coinage was stopped. 1878 when it's coinage was renewed the law declared the dollar to be legal tender for all govern ment dues. Why then should we in crease it's weight Is it not only le- gal money as it is, but it is 2worrh as much of anything but gold as it ever has bean. Under these circumstances the true solution of ths silver problem is to use silver fo: all purposes for which money is used. Ii it will bay as much wheat, or corn, or cotton or as much general merchandise now aS l it would when it was worth as much as gold, there is no injustice done to bon1kolders in paying them with sil- yer. The gold conspiracy has been the cause of much ground and lofty tumbling in questions of finance. To convince the public that bonds should be paid in gold, certain men, Sherman incl4ded, have performed some strange feats. They havO shut their mind. to facts, They ignore state nents that do not coincide with their peculiar views. Mir. Sherman is, in other respects an able man. There Is much reason to believe that he un- derst2nds the silver question better than he pretsndS to. What does he mean by the statement that do lar must be do!lar} What right has he to demand that the valae of the silver dollar shali be measured by the gold | dollari Does he contend that IEe law of 1878 which detl ,red the 4l2i grain dollar a legal tender for all debts i, i inoperativel Does he assume that tin t money lenders cxa make isw of trade that utilities law of Congress- The truth is thai Sherman has en- parked in the gold conspiracy boat, and does not req ize that the time ha' come to jump oNt.-Ssn Francirct Cal.
