STRIKE IN THE WHErsroNEs.

No htlle excltemrnt has been caused here this week by the report of a rich strike having been made near the south end of the Whetstones, about twenty five miles from Tombstone and seven or eight miles from the N. M. & A. railroad, near the Piml county line. Much pros. pecling has been done in that neighbor- hood for several years past on account of rich float having been discovered, but it seems the lode was blind and had never been properly located until about two weeks ago, when Bob Catlett and Jery Gardiner, two well-known pros pectors, succeeded in uncovering the ledge upon which they located the Amer ican and South American mines. They brought some of the ore into town and returns went from $500 to SzSoo per ton, about half being gold and half silver. An EPIrAPH reporter, nosng around for news, ea-ned of the fact, and he and MT. 5. l. Hart sent Pete White to the ground and located the Whe,stone mine, as an extension of the South American. White is now on the ground at work.
 County Recorder Bradley, G. s. Brad shaw, Frank Hare and others went out Wednesday and returned Thursday, and more than confirmed previous. reports. The shaft on the South American was down about elght feet, showing two feet of ore of the highest grade One of the party offered Jerry Gardiner S2ooo cash for third interest, which was indignant ly refused. They then located about half dozen claims and came home to help swell the excitement with their re- ports.
 Yesterday many other parties went to the scene, and the probabilities are that by this time the ground is all located from the peaks of the Whetstones to the railroad.
 Mir. w. D. Coleman, of this city, who is an equal partner with Catlett and Gardiner, yesterday went out with a wagon load of supplies, and will push the work of development One man is about to open gin-mill, and townsite is already talked ot.
 They can't strike 1t any too rich to suit us.

The Southern Pacific railroad ha: carried out of Arizona 10000 head of cat tie for the year 1887, nearly all of which were taken to California for beef The cattle industry of this Territory is assum ing huge proportions, and we miss oul guess fl this number will not be quadru- pied in 1888. Arizona has long beer known as the leading stock country o the world, her percentage of losses from exposure being smaller than any other portion of the United States.

 CRITTENDEN, Aria, March IA 1888. To the Las Vegas Stock Grower:
 must acknowledge through your pa per that did make mistake in having a letter published stating that indictments were found against Cameron, Hildebrant and Thomas. was so informed by a person who l believed knew what he was talking about. knew of an indictment being found against Hildebrant, but did not know of the others only through the person who gave me the information. l since learned that the indictment against Hiloebrant was squelched; then a suit was brought against the cattle and settled by turning over the cattle to Hildebrant upon ,yment of duty and costs. It was considered that they were imported and subject to duties, but that no fraud was intended.
 Mir. Gormley was not in the territory when my letter was published in your paper, and presume to this day knows nothing about the matter.
 l merely had letter published that l believed to be true, but since learned that made mistake, and l wish to have the matter SO stated.
 Very respectfully, R R. RICHARDSON.

 American Banker.
 A wonderful moneyed institution is the Chemical National Bank of New York the New York correspondent of the Cochise County Bank). The sale re- gently of ten shares of its stock at $3,- goo per share recalls instructive facts about this banking institution. This is the highest that this stock has yet sold for, and it has long been noted as com handing the highest premium of any bank stock in the world. First National Bank stock commands $2ooo per share, the Fifth Avenue Bank $500 per share, the Bank of Ireland S275 and the Bank of England $35o. The dividends of the Chemical Bank have for a long time been at the rate of IS per cent bi.monthly, with an additional dividend of 10 per cent at some time during the year or an even 100 per cent per annum. Last year the bank paid 33oo,ooo Tn dividends, equal to the amount of capital stock, and carried a surplus of twice the capital stock. It is very seldom thls valuable stock finds it way to tle market, and then only in the settlement of some old estate, and when sale takes place it at tracts great attention. Tn IS43 or IS44 David Wofe, the father of Catherine Wofe, bought POO shares of Chemical Bank stock at par or for S2o,ooo To- day that same stock, at the price com manded would be worth S72oooo and has paid more than $I,ooo,ooo in dividends since the day that it was pur- chased.
