THE arrest of Fitzgerald, who was at the head of the Santa Cruz storage reservoir scheme, has probably killsd that undertaking for the present. Although the packers of the enterprise have lost confidence in him, the citi- gems of Tucson still have the most implicit confidence in his honesty and integrity. The most conclusive evi- dence of this fact is the action cf the court in placing him under bonds of 5000, when he is supposed to have embedded ten times that amount.

A ssoea Showing.

The assessment roll of the city oi Tombstone has been completed, and shows a total of $32l ,999 this year compared with sss9.632 ior the pre-, ,ious year. The board of equalization will meet on the l6th inst. when 1t is probable that the raises will be sufi- cient to increase the sum to last years amount. The showing is cer- tainly a good one, considering the terrible losses that have been sustained during the past year by ca,tlemen who did business and lived in Tombstone. They have largely moved away, most of them having gone east or to Cali fornia to look personally after their herds. which they were obliged to ship out.

In the Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the bladder and kidney complaints is when the organs concerned exhibit tendency to grow inactive. The healthful i'm pulse toward activity that they receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them from impending danger. and averts such dangerous maladies AS Bright's disease and diabetes. Sluggishness of the kidneys increases liability to chronic rheumatism, gout and dropsy, and since the blood is filtered by these organs in it's pas sage through them, the Bittters serve a donbly happy purpose. The mede- cine acts without exciting, like the fry stimulsnts of commerce. Malar- ial, dyspeptic, conslipated and nervous invalids are thoroughly relieved by it. Siuce the advent of that shocking malady, la grippe, it has been widely demonstrating its usefulness as a curative and preventive of it. [.

BISBEE COLUMN.

 The town is settling down to busi- ness again after the K. of P. revels.
 The old, old question whether the city or country will develop the better man was debated last night at the L. L. A. Messrs. Pritchard, Ewalt ani Place spoke for the low of cattle and song of birds, but forgetting to call attention to the eighteen hours daily labor in storm and wet and Loneliness. Messrs. Wright, Dr Wright and Porter spoke eloquently pi certain advantages the city made man is said to possess, but forgot ail reference to ninety and nine who dig md delye in nolsomo cellais. The verdict Of the audience was that it de- bends, but in any case Bisbee probably strikes the golden mean, affording as sine does all the advantages of the country and most Of those of the city. Mir. Varnum read an essay on the Essence and Object of Education Miss Bellinger, Mrs. Tracy and Dr Woodwork furnished the audience with the music, and Mrs. More closed the entertainment with a recitation: "Papa's Letter"

MINES AND MINING.
fin Innovation In Worlds Fair Exhibi-

fin Innovation in Worlds Fair Exhibi-
 tions-
 Considerable misapprehension exists both in this country and abroad as to the mines and mining exhibit which is to be made at the exposition. At worlds fairs heretofore Ihc mineral and allied exhibits have been shown in the man. ufacturcs building CT in annexes to other structures occupied by exhibits having but remote relation to anything of the mineral description Many press notices and comments indicate that the impression prevails widely that such is to be the ease at the exposition of 1898. But that is far from being true. Mines and Mining" has been made separate and distinct department" of the clas- ifcation of exhibits and will have the exclusive use of one of the finest and largest of the exposition buildings. The mines and mining building measures $50 by Io0 feet. has total floor space of almost Q acres and cost s265, ,0O0 The fact is that at the Worlds Columbian exposition for the first time in the his tory of such enterprises the mining in dustry and products arc accorded the recognition which their exceedingly great importance to the wealth and prosperity of all civilized nations really demands. Mir. Slkiff, chief of the de- pertinent, says that it is already as surcd that in the mines and mining building will be gathered in 1893 incom- parabls the largest array and most com. plcte and most instructive evidence of the mineral wealth and progress of the mining industry ever collected or at tarnp4ed
