day by the Republicans.
Five Ballots Necessary to Determine
the Mayoralty Contest-McFar-
land and Hutchinson Re-
nominated.

The Republican city convention yes
terday surprised the Oldest inhsbitant.
1t nominated J. @. A. Tufts for mayor.
Mr.. Summerland and Mr.. Hazard were
really not in it at any time. Mr.. Sum-
merland, as was predicted by the HER
AID, led all the candidates on the first
ballot, but he polled all of his vote then
and was 23 votes short of nomination.
Mr.. Hazard failed to loom up as
his friends anticipated, but after Mr..
Tufts had won the victory he took the
platform and publicly agreed to support
the nominee. The convention failed to
make the nomination of Mr.. Tufts
unanimous, although the motion was
made.
The fight for the nomination for city
attorney was made quite spirited by
the speech of II. H. Appel in sec
onding the nomination of f. r.
Willis. Mr.. Appel accused Mr..
Mcfarland the incumbent and
candidate Of the convention for re-elec-
ton with being the tool of the corpora
tione. This allegation Mr.. Mcfarland
denied, and the convention nominated
him on the second ballot.
The convention was an orderly one,
and dispatched business with unusual
speed. Mr.. Millard made an excellent
chairman, and F. J. Cooper also was a
very competent secretary.

R. Means ct al, to quiet the title to
certain property on New High street
near Franklin street, valued at $40, 900,

so tied up by means of the different in
terests that this method was taken to
secure funds 10 clear off the encum-
brances.

A Big Sale.

P. ". Smith, who went broke in Tombstone, few years ago, went to SonorO to recuperate hIs fallen for tune. He went to the St. Elena mine, in which he had been interested in his palmy days, and took charge of 1t, but the stock holders soon became tired of each ether, and P. ". was put out. From there he went to other fields but was not successful until less than a year ago, he took hold of the Brown mine, over which several men had been killed, the fast killing being that of Adams of this city.
 As soon as Smith secured title to the property he went to work on 1t, and lost no time in writing to friends up this way of what he had. The stories of the fabulous wealth of the property had never been believed, and the mine had been hawked around the streets Of Tombstone. and at one time, shortly after the death of Adams. could have been bought for Sl 900. It was but few months ago that Steel, Wheatly and Van Horn went below to take look at it, on Smiths representations. They found it all that had been said about it, .and took a bond on it. An English company was interested in the mine. From samples sent and full description of the property, they concluded to inves- tigate it closely which satisfied them, and sale was closed. The money consideration is $200,O00, and a big block of the stock of the company which will work tEe property.
 Mir. Smith, it is stated, will continue in charge of the property, upon which extensive reduction works will be placed.

CHARLEY McCOMAS.
The Supposed Dead Lad Believed to be Alive and We'll at Mon
 terey, Mexico.

Everybody has heard of the kidnap- ing of little Charley McComas by Ger onimo in 1883 on the road between Tombstone and Silver City. His mother and father were murdered and the little fellow taken captive down in to the Sierra Madra mountains oi Mexico.
 When Geronimo surrended to Miles he was asked what he had done with the boy and raplied that he died soon after his capture. Other Indian however said that the child became troublesome and that Geronimo took the little fellow by the heels and dash- ed his brains out on a rock, and this story was always accepted as the cor rect one. Now however comes a story from Fort Scott, Kansas, which na ' disaprov e. the theory that the boy was killed. The story as told by the as so ciated press is as follows:
 Last Friday there appeared in the newspapers of the country a letter from Monterey Mex. stating that Chas Luna, of Santa Catarins, a small town near Monterey, had found an Ameri- can boy I2 or 13 years old living with a Mexican family. The item went on to say that the boy forgot his early history, but that the family with whom he was living stated he had been left with them by an unknown American woman in 1884. This item had com e under the eye of Hon. E. F. Ware of this city He is the uncle of Charley McComas
 The boys father was Judge Nc, Comas. oi this place, and both he and his wife were murdered by the Apaches. The boy was carried away and no trace of him has ever been found. MT Ware has prosecuted a diligent and unremitting search for him, and he believes that the boy found at Santa Catarina is none other than his lost nephew. 4 description of the Santa Cstarina boy. for which NIT. Ware telegraphed, would tally with that of his nephew. Mir. Ware will use every effort in running down the clue.

A Cold Snap.

Martin Costello is filling his new cold storage rooms with ice. He has constructed a double walled. double roofed, spacious apartment, which is to be devoted entirely to keeping his keg beer cold. The room is divided into two stories. The upper story is used for the storage of ice, and will hold twelve tons, without crowding. The huge cakes of ice are packed close together, making when filled, a solid chunk of ice IA feet square and 6 feet high. The floor is not tight, but sufficient space is left between the boards to allow the cold air and drippings from the ice to descend upon the kegs of beer underneath. The ice comes from the Southwestern Ice Co. of this city. It is, on the whole, one Of the most complete and best storage schemes to be found in the territory.

The money drawer is located in the kitchen and to be drawn from the kitchen pay counter. The thief watched his ops portunity, and, when the waiter was far enough away, snatched the money drawer, which contained some money. meal tickets and other yaluables. There was no clue to the thief. The next day a strange man presented meal ticket and asked If it was good for dinner. The Iwaiter asked how he came by the ticket, and the man answered that he gave 20 cents for Il, and said he could show who sold it to him. A complaint was made, and the seller of the ticket arrested. On the trial it was shown by the prisoner that he had found the ticket and about 50 cents in the Iyard, about o'clock that morning. The prisoner was acquitted,

We have still out, however, about sl5, GOO to meet in the shape of warrants, all of which were debts con- tracted years ago. In five years more Tombstone will be ont of debt. At the present time, and for eighteen months past, we have been paying cash for everything used by the city, and our debt is not being increased but diminished month by month.

Chamber of Commerce.

The regular meeting was held last night.
 Owing to the enforced absence of several members of important com- mittees, reports were laid over till the next regular meeting.
 Mir. Hopkins, of San Francisco, representing one of the prominent insurance companies of the coast, was introduced by MT. Nickers, and gave the members an intelligent idea why rates were higher in Tombstone than in Phenix CT Tucson. Although we have a better fire protection than any town in the territory there are con- ditions which make the rate Of insur- anCe higher. One of the principal causes of this is the fact that we are considered mining camp exclusively and all mining camps are rated higher than other towns as statistics show that the losses are much higher in mining towns. However, Mir. Hopkins thought that a recommendation for a reduction of 50 cents on the S1OO would be the proper thing to do for the present, and when the town again renewed its boom of days gone by he thought that we could get as low rate of insurance as the lowest. The gentleman said that the report had gained circulation throughout the coast that Tombstone had collapsed and that the mines had all closed down. He was astonlshed to find such evidences of thrift and money so reely circulated as it was over town, and thought 1t the livelies: corpse be had rubbed up against on his travels.
 The question of the location of the new custom house on the line was also discussed and the advisability Of making an organized effort to induce the Mexican authorities to cooperate with American authorities in the selection of common point was also talked over. The idea was conveyed by several gentlemen present that the point had been selected six miles below the line and no power on earth could changeit. The motion to try and cooperate received no second and the matter was dropped.
 The motion was made that com mittee be appointed by the chair to wait upon the board of supervisors and protest against the claims for mileage for making arrests and bring ing prisoners before Justices of the peace who are located miles away from where the case should be heard. The law contemplates that warrants shall be sworn out beiore the nearest justice and frequently warrants were sworn out in precints 90 miles away, and prisoner dragged away from his home when there was ample justice at the seat of the alleged misdemean- or.
 It was suggested that the district attorney always looked over the acS counts and cut off illegal charges of this nature and that it would be time to act when he overlooked such charges. No further action was talk en.
 There being no further busiress, the chamber adjourned to Wednesday, May4,
