Glorious News.

The arrival of two large freight teams this morning in front of Sum- merfield Bros store, caused our re- porter to pause while going the rounds of the city for news. After waiting a few minutes he observed several large packing cases being unloaded. This excited his curiosity, and he repaired to the interior of the store where he found them being unpacked, and no ticed that they were filled with boys and mems clothing, which are espec- ially suited for the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained a full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handkerchiefs, embroidered handkerchiefs, initial handkerchiefs, and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents. MT. Summerfeld stated to us that he had employed force of six extra clerks, so that everybody could be waited upon at once and not be kept waiting. We would advise all parties desiring holiday goods, or who would like to make their lady or gentleman friend a suitable present, to visit the store of Summeri9ld Bros, and they will find what they want. 12-21 If

EIGHTY-FIvE hunred dollars is more money than the taxpayers of Tombstone are prepared or will ing to pay for the continuation of the school term. The work can be accomplished by an expenditure of S5,00O if the teachers will ac- cept reduction in salaries. THE TOMBSTONE does not want to be understood as believing the salaries now paid are exhorbitant. There is no vocation in life except the newspaper business, where the conscientious employee is as hardly worked and poorly paid, as in that of teaching the young idea how to shoot. But the naked fact stares the taxpayers in the face, that the school fund iS exhausted and the educational wheels will stop, un- less fabricated. Financial axle grease is scarce at present and unless the teachers will accept re- ductions of salaries the chances are that the car of progress will stop Will they do

The Snow Blockade Worse.

The Snow Blockade Worse.
 DENVER, Jan. 8The news from railroad headquarters here to-day IS that the snow blockade is if anything rather worse than last week. No train has passed OCT the Atchison, Topeka and Santa f'e from the east since Thursday. Un the Kansas Pa cifc road the case Is even more hope less It now transpires that there WAS no great damage done by the pre- vious storm to the cattle on the plains. Thursday nights storm com p!etrly blocked the road from Jules burg to Omaha; but the trains oyer the Burlington route from Burlington to Omaha via Kansas City arrived at Omaha on time. It is now considered probable that the trains over the At chison, Topeka and Santa Fe are blocked in the same place that the blockade occurred last week in the vicinity of Coolidge.
 The postmaster at Coolidge tele- graphed to Major E. w. Warfeld, superintendent of the rallroad mail  service at St. Louis, from beyond the blockade, asking what to do with the mail matter on hand, and received an answer instructing him to forward the mail to is destination by any route if possible. He then sent word to have the mail sent as far as it could be forwarded, and then left until called ''fcr," as he said in his last dispatch, 'the Lord knows when we will get out of this d-d snow. We have been b'ockaded HOW six days. May the Lord have mercy on usP-

A Mine Explosion,

ALMA, Wyo., Jan. l8-The great est excitement exists here ever the confirmation Of the news brought ill last night of the terrible explosion eff mine No. 1 at midnight Thursday The particulars of the catastrophe form most horrible ta'e. The ex- plosion took place just as car ill which there were two men was de- scending the slope to go into the mine, and so great was the force of tke blast that this car was literally blown from the mouth of the mine like ball from cannon, and the occupants were in stSntly killed and mangled so as to be completely unrecognizable. The flames which instantly followed the explosion burned all night, and de stroyed all the woodwork about the moutA of the mine, and illuminated the country for miles around, shedding a lurid glare over the sky which was distinguishable for miles. It is not yet discovered how many men were in the mine at the time of the explosion, but it is known that there were feur- teen miners at work in adistant cham Der who could not by any possible chance have escaped. How many more suffered death whi, in the bow els of the earth cannot be ascertainsd until the miners can be collected and the roll called.

A body of nolunteers commenced exploring the parts of the that were accessible, and up to the present tome seven bodies have been recovered.

To the Occupants of Lots on the ''Way UP' Mining Claim
 SUrface.


 1 have heretofore notified you tha I own three-fifths of the surface ground of the Way Up mine. I now notify you that 1 claim no right to said ground against anyone who has been in possession of a lot or lots thereon for five years, as I think the five years statute of limitation com menced to run on September P, 1880, when the patent to the townsite is- sued. But, in any event, would not disturb anyone who has improvements on a lot for several years; unless, in the case of one who has unidentified himself with those who fraudlently obtained the townsite title from Alder Randall, Mayor, or who now buys or has lately bought of them, or given them aid or assistance.
 But, as to all of the lots on said Way Up mine now vacant or unoccu- pied, or that have lately been settled on or bought from the townsite claim ants, or claimants under the Way Up mine, I will assert my rights, but will sell at 8 reasonable price, reserving my right to refuse to sell to anyone who, by purchasing lots as aforesaid from other claimants and paying for more than two-ffths thereof, or who has. unidentified himself with the frauds.
 N. E. The two-ffths interest in said Way Up surface which 1 do not own or claim, does not belong to any one in Tombstone, as near as I can find out by the records of the county
