GIRLS RiGHr A DUEL.

A remarkable story comes from Nor. mon settlement in Luna valley that is vouched for by Federal authorities. Two girls named Mary Semore and Sarah Ballon, aged respectfully IS and I6years, became rivals for the affections of a young cowboy named Whitman. The latter is Gentile and a recent arrival in the settlement. So desperate a phase the rivalry between the girls assumed that they fell to Sighting in the tabern acle as finale to the religious services. They were separated and two days later some men were attracted to the outskirts of the settlement by pistol shots, and found Miss Ballon on the ground seriously wounded. Mary Semore was standing few feet away with pistol. She said they had fought duel and she had hit her rival at the first fire Two pistols were found, but the wounded woman says she was shot before she had an oppor- tuni,y to use the weapon. The wound is m the shoulder and is not fatal.

lfthere is any business Tn which skill, intelligence and thorough knowledge of its details are required, tha. business must surely be that of the druggist. These com oined with taste and exquisite neatness, make up model establishment, and this we have here in the pharmacy of H. ]. Peto, who has never been ex- celled, though probably equalled, as a 6rst-class druggist The tasteful arrange. ments and neatness of this store have often excited remark. T..,is is called forth by the announcement that a branch house i. to be started in Bisbee by MT. Peto, before the end of the month, where everything will be sold at Tombstone prices. A full line of drugs and medicines, with all articles in fancy and toilet goods, such as soaps, perfumes, brushes, dressing cases, spo' ges, &c., will be found at this store, equal to those of the main house. A competent pharmaceutist will have charge of the Bisbee establishment.

TROUBLES OF A NEWSPAPER MAN,


 It IS six months since we took charge of the Bullion, Prof. Longuemare retiring. During that time we have published this paper from our own way Of looking at things and have not allowed the beat en trail of those who have preceded us. We have been told by some that we have issued good paper considering the de- pressed state of ofbusiness; and by others that the paper wasn't worth d-n, showing that people look upon the same thing in different light. ...
 We have waded around in the vel. low mud in search of news. From ihe man who thought that the paper was not up to the standard, we never receiv, ed an item. It was always "nothing ne W" with him.
 We ehave sat down to a banquet of a dyspeptic ten.cent pie and then wrote a i've dollar puff on the strength oft. We have written straight matteron live birds and poetry on dead ones; we have writ. ten up the balls and have called them "the most fashionable affairs of the sea. son. when we knew better; have called things by their proper names and got hissed; have called men "Colenels," 1" Majors" or Captains" when we knew that the rank and file was beyond their deserts, have kept a standing ad on "Our GloI,ous Climate" when the rain was falling in torrents; have boosted men for official positions when we knew they couldn't fill ploughman's share with credit; we have catered to the fri. volous vanity of the general public until we are tired and disgusted. All these things have we done and many more, but we couldn't stop our energetic citizens from immigrating to Callfornla and other places, leaving the drones behind them.
 We didn't say when we saluted you with our first issue that Eve had come to stay," and so if if we should silently, be. tween two days, fold our horse blankets and steal away, you will not be surpris- ed. Some of you may miss us "when the water runs dry" but you'll find in our departure that the fools will not have all been gone, that you will still have sufi. cient number left among you to blow up your seeming virtues, and to be mum when you water the whisky,
 We have tried to air our political prin. ciples in feeble sort of a way, but were set down upon in great shape. We feel like going out in the street and yelling for Abe Lincoln-There, you have our politics, we have had our say. ard now silence.-Socorro Bullion.

RECORD OF A DEAD RACE.

Dr. R. F. C. ten Kate, of the Hemem. way Archaeological expedition now searching the ruins in Arizona for eviden. ces of the character, habits and history of the prehistoric people that once dense. ly populated the Gila valley, was in Flor ence and made pleasant call at the En. terprise office.
 The doctor has spent some consider able time recently on the Pima Indian reservation, in comparing the character istics of the present tribe with those found in ancient ruins, bu, his ccnc'u- sions do not encourage any theory of re- lationship between them. The skeletons unearthed are too short in stature and more closely resemble the Pueblo or Zuni Indians of New Mexico, They were evidently of higher order of in-

 to-day and notably in the remarkable
 perfection they achieved in agriculture as
 shown by the extensive aqeducts rsmfy-
 ing the whole country, did they excel all other Indians and many of the civilized nations of to day. .:,
 Dr. ten Kate has given. considerable attention to photographs, the symbolical hieroglyp phics cut or painted upon the rocks in the hills skirting the valley. These are particularly plentiful in the Estrella mountains. near the Gila cross ing, where many caves were also found strewn with broken pottery, having prob. ably been sacri6cial offerings to deity. These caves and painted rocks are nearly always found in juxtaposition, and even on Poston Butte, at this place, some of. them may be seen. The hieroglyhics are sketched by Dr. ten Kate, and to- an ordinary observer they are utterly devoid of meaning, but may yet become deciph- cred. They are mostly of animal forms, but circles, volutes, crosses and other forms indescribable are often found. among them. These were scratched with some hard instrument upon the black wea,her-stained face of the granite rocks, forming white indelible record. :.
 The doctor also investigated the eye sight, color blindness. and muscular strength of the Pima Indians and made collections of their modern handiwork for comparison with those rescued from the ruins. He found no tradition among these Indians bearing upon the identity ofthe prehistoric people, the cause of their departure nor whither they went, and therefore concludes that they existed at an age more remote than is popularly '
