INSCRIBED AT TOMBSTONE.
Not Booming. Not Yet Dead; a Clean. Wholesome Little City and De-
 lightful Place of Residence.

Tombstore is one of the best laid out
 and most pleasantly situated cities in
 all Arlzoua and impresses one lmmedi
 ately with the cleanliness of its bread streets and general wholesome app ar ance. The air is more invigorating on clear day than in either Phoenix, Tue son or Nogales and as a place of sum mer residence on account of the breezy days and cool nights, it is said to be unsurpassable.
 Tom bst one, for the measure of pros perity which 1t is at present enjoying, is entirely dependent upon the contlnaed operation of the Tombstone Mill and Mining Company, which at present has m employ 150 hands and distributes monthly in the town between S1S,000 and S20,000.
 The company is working all four of its principal mines the Lucky Cuss, the West 0. Northwest and the Tough nut arG Il taking out a smelling ore wlicl has te n carrying besides the ls4G, about 0 ounces of silver and some iilt'e gold. AOi ut 500 tons mont has been taken out regu arly and the rate COnbinuCS Ab SlO OCS Ol 5OuG months there has been but little ore in sight but so far pretty much the same amount has been invariably developed in me quarter.
 In political circles the principal topic of discussion is still of the outcome of the "quo warranto" suit which MT. Me- Allister has entered against E. A. Nichols, by which the former seeks to do. hn DF z supervisors in deposing him and ap- pointing the latter was legal and will be sustained. Scott White it appears, the present sheriI, was holdover member of the board of suparvs DTS at the recent election and to fill the two vacancies Messrs. McAllister and Perkins were elected. MT. White did not at once re sign and qualify as sheriff, deeming 1t his du y to remain and with his col league manage the busting from office of Mir. McAllister who although he had received election papers and been sworn in, was ineligible by the statutes which provide that man holding the office of county treasurer as he dId at the time of hls election could not be legally elected by the board of supervisors.
 Mir. McAllister wa accordingly de- posed and MT. E. A. Nichols appointed. NIT. White then resigned and by Messrs. Perkins and Nichols Frank Hare WIS appointed to the vacancy.
 Probate Judge Monmonnier refused 10 participate in any of these proceedings though sunni oned as It quired by law to attend the meetings at which the ap- poiutments were made. He claims the board eycse ded it's authority in dispiac- iHg MT. McAllister under the circum- stances. He shows with a merry twinkle in his eye what he considers a unique document which he received after the appointment of NIT. Nichols and by which he IS called upon 10 attend the meeting at which Mir. Hare was sub quentiy appointed. It is dated January F and opens by informing him that a vacancy exists upon the board caused by WhIte's resignation ard is signed by Scott while chairman and Mr. Keltou sheriff.
 Among the business people of the town a dreaded feeling of depr. ss;on and dullnt ss exists ana there are few merchants # there IS single one who, if 1t were possible that he could be transported with stock and store into q fairly desirable location in Tucson or almost any considerable tcwn in the Ter tory. but what would consent to the change gladly, but being in they must bear 1t.
 A letter was received here today from ex Sheriff Kelton, wbo IS in Washing ton, D. O., whither he went to secure if possible the appointment of collector of customs at Nogales. He says he has given it up as MT. Chalmers position appears to be i'm -regnable and that he believes Ben Crawford has the call for marshal of the Territory.
 Col Hafford who conducts one of the principal saloons of the town has the four walls of the place covered with the stuffed skins of over 250 birds embracing many varieties all killed in Cochise county. Amopg them is a specimen of that popularly considered impossible species a white blackbird. His place is a veritable OrnIthological emporium of thirstology.
