Misconceptions Corrected.

The Arizona newspapers complain bitterly of the constructive damage inflicted upon that Territory by the depredations of the Apaches. The impression goes abroad, and becomes a settled belief in the Eastern States, that the whole area of Arizona Is in volved and that there is no safety for life or property within its borders. Letters of inquiry are received asking if it is possible to reach Tucson by any route with safety from the hos tiles. Several important enterprises in which eastern parties are interested are held in abeyance pending a final settlement of the Indian troubles, al though the proposed investments would be in no way affected by per petual warfare within the present dis turbed limits, which are confined to the southeastern portion of the Ter ritory. These misconceptions are a serious drawback to the progress of Arizona. They have but little effect here, where there is better general in formation concerning the state of af- fairs, but to the ideas of eastern peo- pie Arizona is a desert of sand and cactus, with nothing to recommend it but the profits of mining enterprise. They have no knowledge of the farm ing and grazing capacity of the Ter ritory. They would be astonished at the statement, made after careful estimates by competent judges, that during the coming year Arizona will ship between 10000 and 50,O00 head of beef cattle to outside markets, the receipts from which will exceed in value the bullien output of the Terri tory for any single year. This in it. self is sufficient to show that there is no general interference with the safety of property, and to reassure those who contemplate settlement there, but are deterred by the plea of Indian hostilities.-S.

Last evening, at the Methodist par sonage, the Rev. G. L, Pearson joined in the holy bonds of matrimony, Mir. Geo. D. Machin and Miss Linda Mo Emerson. There were only few of the intimate friends oi the young cou- pie present.
 The groom, Mr. Machin, is well and favorably known in this city, where he has hosts of friends, while the bride, Miss McPherson, very beauti- ful young lady, has but just arrived from the east, having travelled great many miles to meet her sweetheart and link her fate with his in this sun kissed land.
 THE DAILY HONEST ONE trusts that their journey through life will be pleasant and that their only troubles may be little ones, who in time to come will be the comfort of their de clining years.

The New York Grant Monument Fund accumulates very slowly. St. Louis has similar enterprise on hand, concerning which the treasurer of the fund gives a gloomy account. He says: I've have sent 900 circu- lars into the country for tue associa- tion, but have not received 8 single cent in return" Though the New York journals take no particular in- terest in hearing of the indifference St. Louis exhibits in the project of erecting a monument, it affords them the opportunity to say: "We have done much better than that"
 Notwithstanding the difficulty of raising money for the building of monuments, subscriptions are being taken up to construct an obelisk to the memory of Nathan Hale, while preparations are being taken to do like honor to Thomas A. Hendricks and two or three other distinguished deceased persons, who have been named-not forgetting Christopher Columbus, the discovsrer of the Amer ican continent. A general apathy exists at this time on the subject of monument bu lding. Possibly it may disappear when money becomes plen- tier among the masses.

EDITOR DAILY TOMBSTONE In your article headed Don't Settle" last eve ming you state that G. G. Berry has been the attorney for the Townsite company for several years. If that is so does it not look very suspicious on the part of the Townsite company to still retain Berry as their counsellor, if they are not in cohoots with the Mountain Maid Mining company, to blackmail the same parties whom they sold lots to on the Mountain Maid, giving the Townsite title?

THE CARNIVAL.
The Rink Last Evening the Scene of Wisdom, Wit and
 Satire.

| SdGlEes
 At s o'clock last evening, standing room was at premium in the skating rink. The galleries were filled with ladies, and their escorts. As he merry masker appeared on the floor, he or she was received with rounds of ap- plause. For about an hour the gay revelers presented wierd and wonder ful appearance as they glided swiftly around the hall. There was priest and a devil skating together, while the Russian princess could be seen with the colored boot black, the page skated with the school girl.
 At 10 o'clock the floor was cleared and none allowed to skate but those who desired to compete for the prizes. Nearly all the skaters however desired to compete for the prizes and they glided over the floor in every style for about half an hour, when the floor was cleared and the judges announced the winners of the prizes. The first prize for the best lady skater was awarded to Miss Gussie Goldstone. The first prize for the best gentleman skater was awarded to Chas. Crouch. For the best dressed lady skater Miss Minnie Rafferty carried off the prize. For the best dressed gentleman, Mir. Howard Lee was the successful man. The fifth and last prize for the most awkward skater, was won by Nick De Martini, and was rightfully bestowed.
 After the prizes were awarded skat- ing was indulged in for about half an hour, wh, n skates were removed, and dancing was indulged in until the wee sma' hours. Taken all in all, the carnival last evening was one of the most successful affairs of the season. Among those who were masked our reporter noticed the following ladies and gentlemen
 Mrs. Dan O'Connor, Mrs. w. B. Hopkins, Mrs. Barnett, Mrs. Fred Thomas, Mrs. Sam AcClaren, Miss Minnie Rafferty, Miss Nellie Rafferty, Miss Gussie Goldstone, Miss Getha Holly, Miss Sophie Jones, Miss Birtles.
 Among the gentlemen we noticed Messrs. Lee, Clum, Meagher, Savage, Tremble, Wallace, Parker, Crouch, Tweed, Hart, Castle, Mccullough, Burns, Street, Fulkerson, Lowe, Me Freely, Thomas, Ashley, Winning, Everhardy, Bauer, Missick, Ashmun, O'Connor and several others.

Truckee Makes a Point.

The people of Truckee seem to have a point on the Chinese who have been cutting wood and timber in that vi- cinity. So long as it was nobody's business they;were permitted to work without intolerance for the white con- tractors who employed them. Now that the latter have deGed public opinion hundred men are prepared pared to make complaints, begin prosecutions and lend their aid to convict all parties to the unlawful de- vastation of government timber lands. The testimony is abundant. The Chinese appreciate the situation and are preparing to accept the inevitable. They have made proposition to re- scind all wood contracts on payment of the amount due them on that which is already cut, and will accept discount on price for immediate payment. Those white contractors, who, while employing Chinese, have professed to be in sympathy with the anti-coolie movement, but have claimed that their hands were tied by written contracts, must now show their colors. There will be no difficult ty in in securing white woodchoppers to take the places of the Chinese, and the way is opened to make the change. Further opposition to public senti- ment will involve them in legal penal ties.

EDITOR DAILY TOMBSTONE :-Ac- companying this letter I send you the prize awarded me last evening for the poorest skater.

Baron & Bauer can get them for they need them worse than I do.

Killed by RIast.

Some two or three days ago Tommy Vincent who has been working in the Silver Plume mine, near the Emerald, being engaged to play for dances, put Joseph Eisele to work in his place. Not seeing anything of Eisele for couple of days, MT. Vincent became alarmed, and this afternoon he went up to the mine to see what had be- come of him, and found him in the bottom of the shaft dead, with the top of his head blown off. From the appearance of the body and the place where it was found, it is evident that the unfortunate man had set off a blast, and thinking it had failed to go off, went back to see what was the matter, when the explosion took place killing him instantly. The deceased was 42 years of age, and native of Germany. Coroner Matthews went up after the body this afternoon.

MT. s. V. Vickers took his depart .ure this morning for Denver, Cobra do, where he will represent the Tomb stone and Wilcox stockmen in the cattlemen's convention.
 Lesser Summerfeld, who was re- ported lost this morning, was found this afternoon fast asleep in one of those new trunks that he received yesterday.
 Yesterday afternoon, the driver of team of four horses, attached to an ore wagon that is hauling ore from the East Side mine to the Girard mill, coming to short turn in the road, had occasion to take off his leaders, and they being struck in the heels by the lead bars, became frightened, and started off on run, and went some distance when one of them fell into 4x6 shaft some g feet deep. After the discovery had been made block and backle was placed over the shaft and the horse who was sitting on his launches, was hoisted out entirely uninjured in limb, although the skin was taken off in several places. The horse which is owned by Brown & Hare is now in their stables and is really Imaginable sight, with one eye bunged up and his legs bandaged.
