GOLD AND ONYX.
New Life InStilled Into the Eastern End of Co.,
 chise County.

Jack Howard who sharpened the first tools that opened up the first gold discoveries of Dos Cabezas district, is in Tombstone. He spent several years at Winchester looking after the Haggin X Hearst properties there, but is again back in the gold camp. From him the PRosPEcToR learns that John Powers, a well known mining man, is samplipg the Juniper mine for a Cali fornia syndicate. This is the second time the mIne has been sampled by Powers for the same parties, and is looked upon as at least hopeful sign.
 The Huntington mill has not start ed up, but steam is up and the pump running which drains the mine at present being worked.
 The stamp Inil, recently known as the Fowler & McGreggor mill is to be moved out near Apache pass onto the Rouse claim, Is very promising property, and out of which a great deal oI gold has been worked by aras- lras.
 About two miles above the road at this point, in Wood Canyon is where the onyx mines recently described in the PRosPEcToR are attracting a great deal of attention. An Eastern com pany have a bond upon them, and a force of twenty men will be put to work developing them. Slabs have been taken out and sent east and pro- nounced the most beautiful specimens yet seen from Arizona. A spring of never failing water bubbles out from under a big dyke: the latter can be seen for fifty miles as it crops out thirty feet in the air for distance of a mile. It is about forty feet wide and lies between lime and slate. The latter is also receiving attention, being of commercial value for roofing pur- poses. Slabs to inch thick and from two 10 three feet square cover the side of the mountain. The inten- 1 ton of the company is to place polish ing works on the ground and ship the finished onyx direct from the mine.
 This industry is a new one in Co., chise county, and will, without doubt be the means of putting new life into | the Dos Cabezas district.

Timely Topics.

The fact that Tombstone is the only town on the Pacific coast that has not adopted standard time, was considered peculiar oversight on the part of her people, and the PRosPEcToR few days ago started a man out to interview the citizens on the advisabiEty of a change. He came back at sundown, weary, wounded and desponding. He fell headlong inside the threshold of the sanctum in a fit. All efforts to resucitate him proved futile and after relieving his remains of per sonal effects, which consisted of a note book and piece of pencil, his body was taken into the back yard and buried under the empty bottles which he had , sown in his lifetime. Another being had forfeited his existence in a misfit desire to reform mining camp.
 His note book was eagerly scanned for items, and as testimonial to his worth as news gstherer we reprint | the contents:
 MINING MAN N:--Change to standard time? Young man, go east. This is a mining camp
 GRocERYMAS: = Stop my paper. You're getting too fresh for my line of goods. My time waits for no man.
 LITERARY CHAP:-Young fellow, you're off your base. "We take no note of time save by :ts loss"
