III the proposed Greensboro -Federals-
Durg railroad increases, and mass meet
lngs have been arranged to discuss the
pr0prlety of Caroline county taking
$4,000 worth of bonds in the new road,
This question is to be settled at the
coming election by majority of the
voters, as provided by an act of the
last Legislature. The road is to be a
branch of the Delaware and Chesa-

that company, provided bonds to the

4 TdcGnt PLGce.-A good story is told
in which Collector GroOme and a per-
sistent Olfice-seeker figure. It seems
that one of Cecil county's residents,
who wanted "good fat place" with a
nice salary and not much to do. persis-
tcntly worried the Collector by his ap-
peals. The collector offered him a
place worth about $500 per year but
this did not suit the gentleman as he
wanted place worth about S25O0. The
collector finally worried out of all
patience, said to him after the usual
question have you found that place p"
Yes sir, l have found it at last" :"
With beaming face, the applicant in
quired what it was and when he must
take charge. "WelI, Mr.. B." said the
collector, 1t is the vacant BishOpric of
the Diocese of Easton, worth $250O per
annum, with house rent free and GER
tainly hope that you will accept" The
collector has not been troubled by this
particular applicant lately. CentreuilIe

stiil Hunting for ore :.

The managers of the Peer, Peerless, Crocker and other leading mines in the Quijotoa district, Arizona, request the Post to state that the companies have decided to stop all other work and to explore the ground with a tunnel at a depth of 1000 feet. It is calculated that this tunnel will have to run about Soo feet to reach the ledge, and there are good hopes that body of good ore will be found, as the two principal veins look as if they would come together with depth. The expense of running this tunnel will be borne in proportion by five companies-viz.: the Peer, Peer less, Crocker, Combination and Weldon, and will, therefore, be light upon the individual shareholders. The tunnel has already been started, miners having been procured who are willing to work for $3 per day-a reduction of $I per day on the rate previously paid. This tunnel will speedily show whether there in any merit in these much-talked oi mines.-San Francisco Post.

 w. H. Savage, District Attorney, Tomb.
 stone, Arizona:
 My DEAR SIR:-The bearer of this my private secretary, has been delegated by me to visit you for consultation re- specting the recent raid made through Cochise county by renegade Apache h. dians.
 The squaw captured and now incar- cerated in your county jail can very properly be made to give the names of the murderers and thieving outlaws who were her companions on the occasion. She can testify before grand jury or give evidence to base presentment upon, on which you may be prepared, should the military capture any of them, to demand immediate prosecution by the civil authorities of these assassins and thieves, to the end that speedy and de- served punishment should follow, and their whole race be taught that the "White mans" law must be respected-a lesson which heretofore they seem not to have learned. It is time they were firm ly impressed with this vital principle of government know you, like myself, are anxious to bring to deserved punish ment these accursed indicators; and l indhe this letter and send this special messenger to consult with you, assuring you of my hearty cooperation in any legitimate effort to bring about this de- sired consumation. Very respectfully.

Cattle Notes.

The cost of shipping cattle, in train loads, from Southern Arizona to Kansas City, is about one cent pound.
 Should forty to fifty thousand head of beef cattle be shipped from Arizona in 1886, as expected, the revenue therefrom would be nearly double that from the present bullion output.
 With exception of the Yavapai associa. tion, no steps have been taken, by auy Arizona local organization, to select representatives for the great range cattle convention, which meets at Denver on the 27th instant.

What They Rangers are Doinx
DUNCAN, Arizona Territory.

 (From the Silver City Sen.inel.)
 Dear Sir:-The Arizona Rangers have just arrived from their pursuit of the In dians who did the killing near Carlisle on the 24th of December, 1885, of Bob Windom, Tom Snow, and one prospec- tor, name not known, also the wounding of two more, Drew, Windom and the prospector living at Steeple Rock, New Mexico.
 The rangers took the trail where the killing was done and pursued the h. dians closely, capturing eleven head of horses and mules; they also captured one gun, a pocket knife, a butcher knife, sack of beef, an old-fashioned shot pouch with powder horn and a small sack containing tobacco, beads and numerous Indian trinkets.
 After following the trail for two days and nights the rangers were compelled to abandon it, as their horses were worn out and the Indians had obtained fresh mounts.
 Captain w. J. Parks has two men con. stantly scouting between this place and Mrs. York's ranch, and two more are sent daily from Duncan to the Hart brothers ranch, known as the Tropher ranch, on the outlook for any Indians that might pass through any portion of this country.
 l will make the assertion that this small handful of Arizona rangers has done more for the southwestern portion of New Mexico than all the United States soldiers.
 1 will give you brief sketch of what the rangers have done in two raids after the hostile Indians. On they 5th day of June they killed two Indians-one squaw and one buck-captured a papoose and thirty-six head of hoses; on December 25th they captured eleven head of horses and mules. No doubt this may seem small work to some, but it is more than the United States troops have done in Arizona, and the Arizona rangers should be highly commended considering the difficulties under which they labored.
 Yours truly JAMES A. TAYLOR.

Infested by Indians.

E. Storms came up from the Custom House yesterday. He went down to get band of cattle but found considerable difficulty as the Indians are very bad in that neighborhood and the Mexicans are afraid to go out.

These men are thoroughly acquainted with the section over which the wild Apache roams, and their services as rangers would be of great value.-Silver City Sentinel.
