Tombstone epitaph., 1891-08-16

THERE is whole bushel of pleasure in meeting men who look ahead and predi ctprosperlty for their SC ction of the country, and there is apeck of trouble in having tu listen to the bear, without sudibly relegating him to the internal regions. The man who works with his pen, voice and whole being to assist in developing his chosen sec ton of a new country, will always meet with jeers, cat calls and misses, from those who are drones upon so- ciety. It is the latter element which retards the growth and advertises all the drawbacks of country and hard as it is to say it, they are the ones who are listened to, for it is human nature to look on the dark side of something one knows nothing about but hearsay evidence. If Tombstone or Cochise county would prosper, her true defend- CTS must get together and SOW broadcast information concerning her resources. with proof to substantiate their utter ances, for without some unity of action other less favored sections will distance us in the race. The fondest hope of the widest dreamer can be realized
 but not without concerted action upon the part of those who are ambitious to see one of the richest counties in the United States. develop at least into the maldenhood of it's existence.
Tombstone epitaph., 1891-08-16

SPEAKING of heat, California can take our breath away when it comes to comparisons. Some idea of its in- tensity in Death Valley can be judged from the following report of one of the assistant U. s. observers stationed there. Biscuit baked in the morning are as hard as stone in two hours, and it is impossible to keep them soft unless damp cloths are spread over them all the time. It is impossible to cook except in the early morning. Potatoes dry up in two days and are useless. Eggs, MT. Williams says, dry up in the shell in two days and be- comei worthless unless eaten the same day they are layed. The two men drank daily from two to three and half gallons water each, which they keep in stone jars to cool by evapora- ton. Clothing is an aggravation, and they wear little less than a sort of 8 gown or a night shirt.
Tombstone epitaph., 1891-08-16

So little is known of our sister re- public that any information re- garding the interior and its scenery and resources should be read with interest. The letters writ ten to the PRosPEcToR from time to time from the pen of G. w, McLane would be most highly prized by the great metropolitan journals of the country and would be read with in tense interest by the Tombstone pub lie were they produced through the columns of the San Francisco dailies instead of at home. And SO it is in many other instances. The experience of o. Homo as published in the Exam iner was read with great interest while the same thing word for word was published in the PROsPECToR three days before and fell very flat. Our mines are hardly spoken of by Tombstone people except in disparaging way and yet were they situated in any other section of the coast, we would read of their past record, present condition and future greatness, with eager an ticipation, and declare that "some day that section will astonish the world" A man eats 8 potato with evident relish until told that it was raised in Arizona and then he loses his appetite. He goes down town, stops in front of a fruit stand and selects two bits worth of peaches from box because it bears a California stamp while he overlooks a basket of luscious fruit alongside of it, just picked fresh from 8 neighbor's tree. A mining strike q few hundred miles away is the cause of g stampede, while in the rush bet ter ground is gone over than the promised land proves to be. The moral of thls tale is that while distance lends enchantment, it exacts too muot in the shape of interest.

A WRITER in the San Diegan says that nature has settled the fact that the point of juncture of the Yuma railway line with that of the San Quin tin and San Diego line must be at Valla Trinidad. It can be nowhere else. Colonel Thomas A. Scott in his day, as president of of the Texas and Pacific Railway company paid $2O,OOO to learn this fact. The Bee Line rail way company Santa Fe) paid out several thousand dollars also to learn that the only line for railroad from San Diego to Yuma, provided it is to cross the Mexican boundary line, is via Cariso.

WELL SHAKEN.
The Earth, uake of July 30
 Did Some Damage.

It will be remembered that about ten days ago an earthquake occurred, which was felt simultaneously in San Diego, Yuma and the City of Mexico. In San Diego it was quite severe but not as damaging as at point between that city and Yuma. Word from various settlements is being brought into Yuma and San Diego, showing a pretty severe shock. Rumors of a tidal wave, not believed at first, are substantiated by several parties, who inform the Yuma Sentinel direct from the scene.
 A reliable correspondent to that pa per from 72 miles below Yuma, says that the shocks were very severe nearly throwing him off his feet, tumbling down both of his horse stables and his house on his ranch, breaking the ridge pole, which was Cottonwood, Is in ches In diameter, letting the roo. fall in, and forcing the walls out and down. The tidal wave which followed, came with terrible noise which was heard for some time as it came up the river; reaching 85 feet over the benks on eith- CT side. The surface of the ground was cracked open and great columns of dust filled the air. Where these openings reached the river, tne< <(0V rushed in with great roar The volS canoes were very active and kept up an almost constant laundering. The cattle, hogs, horses and mules ran off to the higher ground, in places two to three miles, and some of the people followed them.

A Suggestion.

The PRosPEcToR is in receipt of a letter from a prominent Californian who resides at San Jose of which the following is part:
 have made efforts to obtain infor nation concerning the climate of your city, but have not been as successful in that regard as would desire. What is it's altitude above sea level? I have asked many whom 1 have met who have been there, but the answer, if answer was given, was always a guess and sometimes very wild at that. HamlltOn's Resources of Arizona" of which possess a'copy does not contain it, and ill no paper or anywhere else have been able to find it.,
 A few days since met gentleman on car who talked about friend who had just come from there, who thought the altitude to be about seven thousand feet, but it appears to me that it can't be that much elevated, Perhaps some day I will ascertain, but l am not certain that shall be able.
 We have forwarded to the gentle man copy of the Resources of Co., chise county containing all informa- tion he may desire, but it seems pity that there is no way by which an out slider can learn of our resources beside hunting for it. If we have any merit in our county, it should be advertised in some shape, where those seeking investments and homes might see and read of our unlimited opportuni- ties.

A CALL appears in this issue of the PRosPECToR fo persons who have grievances against the railroads to Make them known'at meetnge of thi commissioners to be held next month at Phenix. As this will be the first business meeting of the first board in Arizona's history, it will be of interest to know how many persons have oom- plaints to make.

IT seems to us that our United States court is misconstruing the Ed munds' Act. It is the general impress sion that the law was enacted for the special benefit of the Mormons, and now that they are applying to Ameri- can citizens indiscrimately, makes it very binding. We have always thought that the law was unconstitu- tiOnal.-St. John Herald.

Judge Baker pronounces the report of his having sentenced Louis Fay to jail in default of $2O00 bail as having been done while he had the suit for divorce on hand, as untrue. The suit for divorce was not brought by Judge Baker until three weeks after the trial of Fay and the Judge had no idea that the wife contemplated divorce pro- Ceedings.

A call appears in this issue of the PRosPEcToR for $27O0 worth of city warrants.
