complete cabinets of minerals and ouriot | in the county, has lately received German 10 mark gold piece of the reign l of Frederick III. As the reign of the l unfortunate successor 10 Emperor Vii. | liam only lasted ninety days, bat very few of these gold pieces were struck of, 1 and consequently most of them have been bought up by speculators who ex- pect to realize a good price on them. The coin ID question is worth g 50 Tn American money and is stamped with the head of Frederick III.-Hersld.
 NJ. W. Stewart of Wilcox. Cochise county, was chairman of the Territorial Republican convention. E. B. Waggy of Yuma was made secretBry-both ster- ling men and good republicans. R. s. Ooffmsn of Cochise, who was nomin Rted for joint councilman of the southern dis trlct, is superintendent of the Bunker Hill and RattlesnRke mines in Tomb stone, and is one of the most sterling men of that county. Mir. Coffman WAS defeated for the same position two years ago by Capt. W. O. Watkins, our towns
 msn.-Gazette.
 The struggle for the nomination of as- sessor and collector in the coming Dem ocrstic Convention IS quite amusing to republican outsider. The only two possible for the empty honor of being before the people as the democratic nominee, is B. O. Parker snd John $.
 Wood. If Mir. Parker be beaten, he will. 1t IS reported, then run for supsrvisor, but If he succeed, and Judge Wood is defeated the latter gentleman will then demand the nomination of sheriff. At hNk Aa1. to h.a neck and neck with each man satisfied that he has the other fellow defeated.
 Tombstone has had another shooting scrspe that ts liable to prove fatal to st least one of the prIncipals concerned. Two men by name of Cunningham and Smith had disagreement. The latter pulled his pistol but some of his friends started to take him home. On the way
 they were met by Cunningham, who in
 the meantime had armed himself. He
 asked Smith if it was go and then
 without waiting for further proceedings
 began to bang away. Smith fell at the
 first fire with a shattered thigh. Gun ningham continued to shoot st him
 while on the ground but without doing
 further injury. Smith was taken home
 and his sssailsnt to jail The wounded
 man will probably dIe.
 "It is all cut and dried before hand and
 ell you have to do IS endorse it." This
 was the language of Chairman Bolsn to
 the late democratic territorial conven-
 ton, and the same thing can already be
 said of the coming democratic county
 convention. The slate as now made up
 is Nj. F. Shaw for sheriff, John s. Wood
 or Ben Parker for assessor and collector B. H. Hereford for District Attorney, Charley Shibell for recorder, Hiram Stevens for treasurer, Esrll Webb for
 Probate Judge. Fred G. Hughes for the council, M. G. Ssmsniego, Sabino Otero Geo. l.. Hood and Fl. D. Underwood
 for the assembly. Kicker of Nogsles
 will be up for one supervisor but the
 other has not yet been determined on as
 all applicants so far heard from have
 failed to make the necessary financial
 rating. This is the slate 30 far as made. The CITIZEN is well pleased to note a marked degree of enterprise and m provement in the firm of Geo. Martin, who for 3S years has enjoyed the reputs-
 ton of being the pioneer druggist of , Arizona, as well as the foremost in his line in point of frs. class stock, the amount carried, and sales per annun. In the line of toilet requirements Mir. Martin has been compelled to abandon the old showcases and has replaced them with the most modern pattern, being large, csmmodious and attractive. At
 this reliable pharmacy where resort the beauty and fashion of the city, can be found anything pertaining to pure
 drugs, toilet articles, perfumery, etc The clever, genial old gentleman takes
 great pride in bis selection of goods, ss well as great sstiEfsction in the sale oi
 the same at prices as fair ss is consistent with 1st quality of goods and business
 economy. His stock is fresh and clear and he carries no shop worn goods.
 , Mir. Frank Proctor came in from Sants , Rosa valley last evening, where for the past several months he has been boring ! for water. At the depth of 760 feet ht
 struck flow of wstor that promises tC be inexhRustible. After striking watel which rose ID the well 20 feet, be con
 tinued to bore, and although he wen down some 40 additional feet, the sspC pump failed to bring the debris to thu surface, The only explanation that car be offered in the premises is that R strong
 current of water exists and washes tht drill borings away as rapidly as made
 The Santa Rosa valley IS miles wide but
 the drill shows it to have been nothing but an immense wash in which boulders
 quartz, granite, cement, clay and sand IS indisorImInately mixed, In the dis : tRnce ran the drill passed through ol beds of sand varying in thickness all the way from inches to as many fset There is not Mir, Proctor says, class o . rock to be found on the surface thai cannot be found in the well, He intend: to keep st work and may possibly strike artesisn water st 6 few hundred feel lower down.
