From HarShaW.

HARsHAw, A. T., Nov. 29, 1889.
 To the Editor of the EPITAPH As quite a number of miners were talk ing of coming to Harshaw with the expectation of getting work when l left Tombstone, you will do them a favor to state that there is positively no show for them here at present. There are not more than forty men working for wages in this camp and there is no immediate prospect of any more being put on. There are at least fifteen men here waiting for work and more are coming in every day.

NAT HAWKE,
 Clerk

The inquiry has often been made as to the cause of the difference in the price of silver in San Francisco and New York. The Mining press of San Francisco, gives the following explana- tion
 "By referring to the New York Journal of Commerce, it will be seen that there are two quotations for silver in that market; one is for commercial bullion in bars. and the other for United States Mint bars, the latter be- ing quoted from l to cent an ounce fine higher than the former Our New York telegraphic quotations are for the former. Selby's refined silver bars are considered in this market, finer than those of the Mint, accounting for the higher quotation in this city of bar silver"

Three Suicides and a Killing.

The following items are taken from
 the Tucson Citizens specials:
 CRITTENDEN, A. T., Dec. Blast night at about 2 o'clock Frank A. La mont was shot and instantly killed by Jas. Finlay, at Harshaw. The diff culty grew out of garnishee for road tax. Four shots were fired by Finlay, three of which took effect. Lamont was attempting to use bowie knife. The coroner's jury rendered verdict of justifable homicide. Justice Hath away has postponed the examination until he can be advised by District At torney Hereford.
 FLORENCE, A. T., Dec. 5.-Three of the Apaches sentenced to hang Friday morning shielded in their cells be- tween and 10 o'clock by tying strip of cloth around their necks with double knots. They were not discov- cred until ? o'clock this morning, when another Indian gave the alarm. Two were the murderers of Jones, at Dudleyville, September l5, 1888, and one the murderer of Diehl, on the San Pedro, June 13, 1887. An interpreter from San Carlos visited the jail last night to inform them of their fate. Father Monfort and Sisters of St. Jo- seph visited them, also, and two were baptized. The two remaining Apaches were badly frightened and will be hung tomorrow morning.

The question of requiring peddlers to pay license was presented to the City Council last evening. It was complained that ranchers brought meats of all kinds to the city and went from house to house peddling the same and paying no license, to the the injury of our local butchers, who would have to close their shops if this was allowed to continue. The Coun- Gil could give no relief in the matter as there is no law to prevent the pro- ducer from disposing of his products without paying license therefor, pro- viding he does not establish place of business in the place where he sells his produce.
