TnrnnniS District.

This district IS beginning to be an i'm portant f.ctor in this county. Forty eight men are on the payroll of Mir. Seaverns, and the properties are being put in fist class shape for an immense output thls summer. The new hoist on the Silver Blll is Capable of hoistlng 800 feet, and the shaft will probably be sunk to that dep h. 1t is now down abou: I5o feet, and ano her level h IS been started, yet the extent of the ore body has n~t been found The trAmway IS nearh completed. Sufficient ore is being shipped to more than pay all exPrhses, And an immense ore dump is being p led up at the mine besides it IS more than probable that reduction works of some kind will be put up al these mines thIs summer If no lessening of the ere body occurs.

J. H. Velton, an old miner and pros 'pector of this county, came into our office Sunday. with pair of sandals, made from the Spanish dagger, which he had found in 8 room of .he cave dwellers, 12 miles northeast of Clifton, at Sunset Peak. MT. VeltOn also had specimens of crystalized lime, which he had broken from the ceiling of one of the rooms. The delicate, frosty formation was indiSputable evidence of the ages it required to complete the beautiful straw-colored specimens he has secured from these rooms. Ii these sandals were made and worn by the cave dwellers, the material from which they were made is sufficient evidence 10 Us that it is the most last ing known. We have miles of this spanish dagger growing upon our plains and mountainous that has been considered worthless. MT. Velton is going back to clear out some of the rooms which are partially filled with guano, to make further researches, and, if possible. to find more evidence about the peculiar people. We wish him success.-Clifton Clarion.

SOME INTERESTING READING.
Two "Epitaph' Correspondents Pay Their
 RSprCts to the Board of Supervisors.

The following correspondence will repay peruSal by our taxpayers who take any interest in the management of our county affairs:
 BABAcoMARI RANCH. A. T.,l
 April Is, 1890
 EDITOR EPITAPH - Herewith en closed I send you a communication from Dr. Goodfellow. which should be very interesting reading to every tax payer in Cochise county. If the whole county management of majority of the Board is similar, ill extravaganza and utter disregard of the law. to the Way which the doctor has shown Us in his letter they have cared for our costly county hospital, and it is nal ural to infer that it i+, 1t is not sur priSing that our tax rate last year reached the significant figures of jour dollars and quarter of c cent on the SIO0 of tarabIe property. So far as their own taxes go to show, Messrs Coffman and Montgomery have no property to speak of in Cochise county, and can take the stage any morning in Tombstone on short notice and seek different scenes, where their financial genius will be better appre- ciated. But what about the taxpayers who will have to suffer for their mis- deeds? I commend their acts to the care of the EPITAPH which I hope will be fully capable of looking after them.
 Yours truly,
 c. M. BRUCE.

GEORGE GooDFELLOw Tombstone, January ?, 1890.

P. S.-Since writing the foregoing the grand jury has come and gone and made the usual vapid report upon county affairs. In it was quoted the .-;;i;z5.ro.A-i,freu :; iF the Board of Super ,iors that the hospital had cost only 5,5O0 for the entire year, when refer ence to the reports of the County Phy- si ian and the books of the Board would have demonstrated that the cost for the nine months only of 1889 to October 1st, had been $5 400. which, with quarter yet to be added, would have made the amount over $7 900 for the year 1889. Vide grand jury re- ports.
 Since the first writing also, the Board have again gone through the farce of receiving bids for the care of indigent sick. This time they were compelled 10 award the contract to a responsible bidder but imposed such extra illegal conditions in the contract that the successful bidder declined to sign it and hospital affairs are in Statu quo.
 From the report of the Pima county Board of Supervisors. the cost of maintaining the county hospital of that county for 1889 was $3,SSS, with an average of fourteen or fifteen pa tients; less than half the cost of that of Cochise county, and with double the number of patients.
 The taxpayers of Cochise county have mach for which to thank their Board of Supervisors. As matters now stand property is virtually confiscated, the owner being allowed use of it at Il high rental. G. G.

MT. John GandolfO informs us that he has picked a number of perfectly ripe figs from his trees. These, so far as we know, are the first of the spring crop and demonstrate beyond denial the grand possibilities afforded by the deep rich lands and sunny skies of Yuma There is no section in Amer ica that can rival our county in the early maturity of its fruits, by weeks and even months, and the entire country is rapidly awakening to the fact.-Yuma Times.

Uneasy lies the head of the Wbar

Uneasy lies the head of the Wham robbers. At the close of the great trial it was believed that the end had been reached. but on the strength of newly discovered evidence the case is again to be opened up and the liberties of
 he late defendants once more placed in jeopardy. Of course it would be idle and impolitic to predict the out come of the next trial, but it is under stood that the case is to be as vigor- ously prosecuted and as stubbornly defended as when first before the court.-Tucson Citi1eR.

Sharp Trick.

Henry Barrett and Bud Jones, while riding the range southeast of SI Johns, came across the carcasses of three steers which had been killed. Sheep herding beef eaters are becoming very sharp now days in hiding their work They kill steer, strip he hide from One-half the carcass, cut all the meat from the bones on the si,le skinned, turn the animal over so that the sile unskinned will be uppermost and have the appearance of having been un- molested Any one riding the range, coming across the carcass, would nat urAlly think the animal had died natural death, but if they wt re to take the trouble to investigate little more closely, would find that half the hide, as we'll IS half the meat Was gone. A mayordomO for q large sheepman in New Mexico, said to these gentlemen, in speaking of the case of Brown and Carr, charged with killing one of Judge Pratrs cattle, that they were fools and that he always killed his beef in the brush; thLt if any one should ride up on him while he was engaged in the job, that he would try to kill the man. We have no doubt the fellow told the truth, and that he did, and would do. just as he said.- St. Johns Herald.

The Optic, of Las Vegas, New Mex ico, prints the following truthful item: "Oh, he is only barkeeper." How little some people think, when they make use of such expressions as the above, "Only barkeeper." Do rou ever stop to think that "only bar keeper" has heart just the same as yours? Do you know that he is made from the same kind of dust that made you7 That the cry of want rings in his ears just as loudly as in yours. and that his heart responded just as quick ly as yours to help his fellow man? Let an unfortunate mortal, man or woman, come to that point in life where aims are to be asked, and we would send them just as quickly to "only barkeeper," as to your crowded churches, and be as sure of helping hand"

FOUND ON THE DESERT.
4 Strange Winged Monster Discovered and
 Killed on the Huachuca Desert.

A winged monster, resembling a huge alligator with an extremely elongated til and an immense pair of wings, was found on the desert between the Whet- stone and Huachuca mountains last Sun day by two ranChers wl.o were returning home from the Huachucas. The creat- nre was evidently greatly exhausted by a long fl ght and when discovered was able o fly but short distance at a time After the 6r,t shock of wild amaz- ment na passed the two men, who were on horseback and armed with Winchester rifles, regained stuff tent courage n pur- ste the monster and after an exciting chase of several miles succeeded in Set'Ing near enough 10 open fire wi h
 heir rifles and wourd ng it. The creat- ue then turned on the men, but owing 70 it's exhausted condition they were able 10 keop out of its way and after few "ell directed shots the monster parrl, TO led over and remained motionless. The men Cautiously approached, their horses snorring with terror, and found that the creature was dead. They then proceeded to make an examlnalion and found that it measured about ninety-two feet in length and the greatest diameter was about fifty inches. The monster had only two feet, these being situated q short distance in front of where the wings were jlined to the body. The head, as near as they could judge, was about eight feet long, the jaws being 'hlckly Set with strong, sharp teeth. Its ey es were as large as a dinner plate and protruded about half way from the head. They had some difficulty in measuring the wings as they were partly folded under the body, but finally got one strengthened out sufficiently to get a measurement of seventy-eight feet, mak- ing the total length from tip to tip about I6o feet. The wings were composed nf thick and nearly transparent mem- brane and were devoid of feathers or hair, as was the entire body. The skin of the body was comparatively smooth and easily penetrated by bullet. The men cut off a small portion of the tip oi one wIng and took it home with them. Late last night one of them arrived in this city for supplies and to make the necessary preparations to skin the crea,- urr, when the hide will be sent east for examination by Ihe eminent scientists of the day. The finder returned early tbis morning accompanied by several prom inent men who will endeavor to bring he strange creature 10 this city before 1t IS mutlated.

Vim. Pickett, Superintendent of the QuijOtoa mines near Tucson, and John Campbell, of Tucson, in company with Vim. Lyle and wife and Hank Donnelly, of San Francisco. have been in our camp for several days, looking at the mining property located in Gold Gulch, with view of purchasing group of mines in that rich camp. MT. Pickett has been here before, look ing at this property and from his re- port upon them, the other named gentlemen and capitalists returned with him for further inspection. The information we could gather from them was, that they expressed them selves as more than pleased with the indications, and thought we had the hest mineral district in the great Southwest. We feel justified in stat ing that there will be mining deal effected soon, whi1h will be of more than ordinary importance. The gen. tlemen chartered an extra train and left us Sunday morning on the Ari zona and New Mexico Railway for LOrdsburg, so as to connect with the Southern Pacific for Tucson.-Clifton Clarion.

the present time, and in so doing have added about $2,000 unnecessarily to

the present tlme, ana III so Uolng nave added about $2,000 unnecessarily to the county indebtedness.
 Instead of complying with the law at once, they delayed for month, then advertised as required: They did not, as is customary, call for bonds to accompany the bids. Two bids were put in-one Ca straw bid, and they knew iD, for forty cents per day per patient, accompanied by no bond ; the other for one dollar and twenty five cents per day, which was accom- panied by a perfected bond for the statutory amount. The award was made to the lowest bidder and ten days given in which to file bond. No bond was filed until two days after the expiration of the time granted. Then the contention was that another bond ought to be required, so thirty days further extension of time was allowed. In the meanwhile the Court Commissioner granted an injunction restraining the BoarJ from acting un- der the law. This was vacated with out even an attempt to defend 1t when Judge Barnes came to hear the case, thus demonstrating conclusively the  conspiracy which had been entered into. Since that time the Board has done nothing, and, so far as it is pos sible to tell, intends to do nothing until compelled. Whether it can con tinue this course indefinitely remains to be tested.
 Had the Board acted in good faith, and awarded the contract to the lowest irresponsible" bidder, the cost of maint aiming the indigent sick for the seven months ending December 3I, 1889, instead of being about $4 800, would have been about 2,000 differ ence of about $2, 300 added 10 the county debt to gralify Mr. Coffman and MT. Montgomery, neither of whom are in reality taxpayers.
 To d "man up tree," the actions of the Board seem to indicate what is called "malfeasance in office"-a mis- demeanor or felony according to the gravity of the offense.
 If I have not made this affair and its consequences perfectly clear to you, I shall be glad to supply you with other data and corroborative evidence which will be conclusive, even to the most skeptical.
 Very truly yours,

New Amalsamating Process.

Messrs. Barber X Clarke are putting up trial plant at Mammoth for the amalgamation of rebellious ores, known
 as the Raber process, and which gives promise of working an entire revOlu- ton in amalgamaticn. The process is hardly explainable, but consists in forcing the pulp from the sluice plates through a body of prepared amalgam, the preparation of which is secret, but is something wonderful, as it will amalgamate iron or copper covered with grease, and seems to have an
 affinity for gold and silver no matter what combination of metals it is found in. If it is success, and there is scarcely any doubt of if, it will be a grand thing for the Mammoth Com pany, as heretofore good deal of their gold has passed off in the tailings and
 was as good as lOst.-Tucson Citizen.

4 Comparison.

AS some of the advocates of disin- corporation are endeavoring to make votes by representing that the city property will be as safe under the Blinn act as under the present city charter, we herewith present section from each law bearing on the point. It will be seen that according to the Bhnn act the trustees can do as they please, while under the city charter the City Council can do nothing in tie matter without vote of the peo- ple Comment is unnecessary:
 Section IT, paragraph l64, of the proposed Blinn act, reads thus:
 eThe Board of Trustees shall have the power to sell and convey, lease or rent. any real or personal property be- longing to the corporation created by this act to such person or persons, and for such a pIice and terms. as they may deem expedient and advantage ous to the interest of such corporation. !"
 Section 5, page SIS, of the present city charter, reads thus:
 "It shall be unlawful for the Mayor or Common Council of the city of Tombstone to purchase or sell any real estate without first having sub mitted the question of purchasing or selling such property to vote of the qualified electors of said city"
