THE Idaho admission bill has passed the House.

THE Board of Supervisors met last Tuesday to consider the petition for an election to do away with our pres ent form of city government. Shortly after the meeting had been called to order it became evident that every thing had been cut and dried before hand. The people who are opposed to the movement, for all the good it did them, might as we'll have staid away. MT. English, who represented those opposed to the measure, offered to prove to the Board of Supervisors by the city assessment roll of last year that the petition did not contain sui ticient number of names. but the Board declined to hear any tes- timony on the subject, taking the un
 supported statements of the commit tee as facts. Messrs. White and Mont gomery stated in substance that, law or no law, they were in favor of grant ing the petition. This action of the Board is only in line with the course they have pursued ever since they took office. Breaking a law more or less makes no difference to them.

A FEW days since, in the light of the recent decision of the Supreme Court, Auditor Hughes went to Phe- nix and demanded the surrender by ex-Auditor MeadOr of the books and records of the Auditors office, but the latter refused to give them up. It is passing strange that this Democratic holdoyer should persist in his mis- guided course. By their actions these officials have gained neither profit nor honor, have succeeded in gaining the contempt of all right minded citizens and disarranged the business affairs of the Territory. It may be that these Democrats thought that by adopting such a course they would advance the interests of their party, but they have wOfully biundered, and by persistirg g in such a course they are engaged in the manufacture of large Republican majority, which will be apparent next fall.

Perhaps the readers of the EPITAPH would like to know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you. When this Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteraCt the effect of the cold and greatly lessen its severity if not effectually cure the cold in two days time, and it IS the only remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, lique- fylng the mucus and causing its expul- sion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring the system to a strong and healthy condition. No other remedy n the market possesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure d cold as quickly or leave the system in as sound condition. so cent and one dol

 The mines of this district are owned by two companies, the Atlas Copper Company and the Red Rock Copper Company. Between these two com panies over $16,000 have been spent in digging and boring for water, and 1t is estimated that it will take about $2,000 more before their wells are put in perfect order to supply sufficient amount of water.
 The miners of this district have ex- tracteG large quantities of ore from their mines, and they have suspended operations on account of the lack of water for smelling purposes.

 J H. Campbell is in San Francisco buying hoisting machinery for the Flores mine.
 John Thomas is taking out some fine ore from his claim on Stockton Hill. The ore carries high percent age of copper.
 David Southwick has lot of ore here from his Music mountains mine. Some of it is rich and some of it is not so rich.
 Superintendent Conard reports that work on the Little Boy mine is pro- gressing finely and a connection with the new tunnel will soon be made
 M. D. Howell has purchased an one half interest in the Brown mine on Stockton Hill, and he has six men at work prospecting that property.
 A. Fisher brought in six tons of rich gold ore from Music mountains, Fri day Some of the ore is alive with free gold and will assay way up in the thousands.
 Chas. E. Sherman has commenced work on another claim near Mineral Park, which he expects will some day bring him more money than did the Queen Bee.
 Lynch and Larkin have three men working on the Little Man. The ore from this property is lead and carries considerable silver and is just what they want for mixing purposes at the Arizona Sampling Works.
 k. Ellibee has located salt mine near the mouth of Wallapai wash and within q short distance of Cams spring. Samples of salt taken while prospecting the find are of fine qual- ity, and the deposit is believed to be large one.
 W. G. Campbell has obtained bond on the Gro Plata and Mariposa mines in Todd Basin, and he will in a few weeks put up plant to work the ore from these mines. The work of level- ing the ground for the placing of the machinery will be begun next week.
 MT. Lawrence, of Ivanpah, was in Kingman this week with lot of high grade ore from that district, which he had worked at the Kingman Sampling Works. He reports but little doing in that camp, as but few of the mines are being worked on account of the great cost of getting the ore to the railroad.
 M. D. Howell returned last Saturday from a trip to Fl Dorado Canon. While there he took bond on some valua- ble prospects, and will shortly develop them. He is we'll pleased with the mines in that section and particularly with the properties of the Southwest ern mining company, which are at present paying handsomely. With better shipping facilities good camp would soon be made there.
 Messrs. Welsh and Porter, of the o. K. mining company, of Kansas City, were in Kingman this week fitting up a blackboard for trip to the Gold Basin district. The O. K. is having the water pipe for the pipe line hauled, two loads having already been sent out. The 0.

Mr. J. w. Haskin, of Chicago, the general manager of the Atlas copper mines, came to this county few days ago on business connected with his company. MT. Haskin is highly pleased with the future prospects of the mines, and feels certain that they are destined to be amongst the largest copper producers in the United States The copper obtained from, the ores of these mines is soft and pliable, entirely free from arsenic, antimony and other injurious foreign substances, and is sold in New York for 143 cents per pound. The only difficulty which has as yet been met with at the Atlas is the securing of an abundant and steady supply of water. The well has been bored to a depth of 700 feet and will supply from 5000 to 10000 gallons of water daily. This however is not a sufficient supply for all purposes, and the work of boring still deeper will again be resumed. MT. Quiggle took the contract for I.500 to bore an additional 200 feet, which will make the well 800 feet deep. At this depth it is expected to obtain an abundance of water, but if such should not be the case, the company is determined to sink until it Is reached and will continue boring, if need be, to the depth of l5G0 feet,
 At Red Rock better success has been achieved in the securing of water. MT. John Gardiner of this city was given the contract for boring the we'll, which he sunk to a depth of 615 feet. At this point large supply of water is obtained. As a test 25,000 gallons have been pumped per day and the well could still furnish more. The water in this well rises to within nine feet cf the surface and as it's
