Marble Creek.

Ed. Register hereby offer my res
ignation as a reader of your paper. it
being a paper of such small conse-
quence as not to benefit my family by
reading it. as we have more news not
printed on paper than your pamphlet
could contain.
What you need in your sheet is
some of Marble Creek brains, and
some one to rustic up news and write
editorials on live topics.
No mention has been made in your
sheet of there being a frst-class at
torney down here who don't make any
charge, and can tell more law in one
minute than all of Ironton lawyers and
the little hamlet of St. Louis flung in.
You strenuously ignore the fact that
we are suffering for rain at this writ
ing, and say nothing of Mr.. A. Carver
preaching to a. large crowd of people
at old Liberty church last Sunday.
Two important questions is being
discussed which you ignore in your
sheet; that is the people .'cussing" the
county court and the roadoverseer.
This is why your sheet is unpopular
here. If you don't put into your sheet
about Walter Bone coming over from
Big Creek last Sunday and bringing
his best girl. | don't want to read said
sheet. And there were others who
came from Big Creek, too, and fetched
their girls. Now, you don't expect
me to write all their names, as / am
not accustomed to writing names al
phabetically, as you know G. is for
Charles and +. for Frank. And they
took dinner before they returned; don't
know who with. but you ought to
know, or quit printing a paper.
If you don't put into your sheet
more news about Marble Greek, don't
want to see said sheet. And you have
left out two weddings that occurred
down here this spring, so you see that
makes me dislike your pamphlet. And
you have from time to time neglected
to say anything about Marble Creeks
old bachelors. You might have said
something that would have induced
some old maid to have sot their cap
and would have caught some of them,
for you know their love overfows as
free as water down a later row.
Now, sir, if you want to hear from
US often. just brag On our school teach
ers and old bachelors and widen out
your sheet and tell US about prosperity
and the Grand Old Party and the en-
balmed beef, and ask Mckinley what's
the reason we can't have a postoffice
down here. So, if you will spread
your sheet little, you can go on
printing your news.

NEW PROCESS
Ammonia A Factor in Extract
 ing Copper

At Good Springs, Lincoln county, Nevada, Prof. H. Hirsching, formerly of the Salt Lake Mining Academy. has recently inetslled an innovation in the Way Cf an exten;ive plant fol the treatment of copper ores by pro- cess invented and patented by him self. The plant has 6 crushing capa- city of 100 tons daily and a teaching capacity of thirty-five tons.
 Tho plant Was constructed by the RisdOn Iron Works. of Sau Franicsco, Cal. and consists Of a crusher, two sets Of rolls, trommels. elevators, convey ors, etc. Tie motive power com- prises iU0 H. P. boiler ard a 60 H. engine. The teaching plant is arrsng ed on a series of terraces and com- prices thirty-six .vats. The solutions pass from top to bottom by gravity, and when the copper has been extract ed, the solution is pumped back to the storage tanks for rense without hay ing deterorsted.
 The ore, which is chiefly oxiie and carbonate of copper in a silicous sangu e, averages l4 per cent copper. IL is crushed dry through a fine screen and subjected to teaching by wha. is called by Prof. HIrsching his ammoni process. In two hours the copper is dissolved and subsequently, recovered us finely pulverulent black oxide of copper, in which form it is marketed; {; bu. As the market for this material is limited, portion will be melted into bars and sold as metallic corre r. The secret oi the process is not public, as the various operations a:e not fully protected by patents. The ammonia is said to be recovered with practic lily no loss or deterIoratiOn.
 The ore deposits O' :he region occur at contact Of eruptive rocks with an underlying crystalline for nation. The ores contain gold and a small amour. of silver addition to the copper contents.
 An important feature clsimed for this process is tha: it will treat copper sulphide ores at a cost confiderably below that ci smelling, which, ii true, ! will constitute 1t an import an, factor in the reduction of copper ores gener. siiy.-M. (. $. Press.

NEW OYSTER SUPPLY
An Investigation Of the Beds
 --~.. near Guaymas

Roy Stevens. route agent for Wells Fargo & Co has just returned from Gusymas where he went to investi- gate the character and extent of the oyster beds along the coast. His in vestsation Was not completed. but Mir Stevens believes that the beds are extensive enough to supply oysters for the whole southwest. The Guay mas bivalyes aye larger and of better quality than the Louisiana oysters, which are next to the Atlantic coast oysters in points ofsize and quality. The Republican says Phoenix wonld be enc of the chief brpefciaTies Of discovery 0! oyster beds of large ex- tert so near az Guaymas. The daily consumption of oysters there during the season is abou, 10000 and would be a great deal more but fer the almost prohibitory prics of eating oysters and the interior size and quality oi the C,l;lo-nis variety. the only other kind brought to this mar ket.
 There Is an incorrect idea that the oysters of southern watsrs are always of sn inferior quality. As a ma:ter oi fact the shelifish products of warm waters are usually the best. A recent report upon the resources of the Phil- ippines describe the oysters there as being better than any other i'll the world, both in size and flavor.

THE EVIDENCE
How a Freight Shipment Gave
 Rise to a RumOr

IL would appear that Tombstone is a little previous in death announce ments when there is no corpse to back up the announcement. A day or two since the reported death of a Tombstone lady stirred up society but people breathed easier when it was learned that it was a false alarm, now another resident is supposed to be dead, but he too, while otherwise obligirg. refuses 10 sccomodste tho whimsical csprices of Dame Rumor. To-day MT. John Misno, the we'll known tonsorisl artis received a con- signmen. of freight labeled cone headstone monument" MT; Miano does not contemplate dissolution and never ordered 6 monument The mysterious shipment has been pro- duc,ive of food for the gruesome Joke: and another report was circulc- ted that Miano was dead; for, if a headstone or monument to mark 8 grave is to be regarded as prima facie evidence of 8 departure from this lie, certainly the proofs were here. MT Miano takes the matter go od.-na. turedly and keeps on shaving. He will examine the freight shipment when it arrives.

A WEAKNESS
X Time When Human Cussed-
 ness is Manifested

Col. Banta Of the Pick and Drill digs up another weakness Of human nature and turns light upon it in this way: James Shirley ard Wm. Wander bi!t have brought suit agsinst Geo. Mitchell for sI26, ,OOO, their share in negotiating a sale of the Cobre Grande copper miHes ip Sonora Mexico. The same parties have sued G. w. Hull for their commission on the sale O, the Hull copper properties at Jerome. II there is anything under the shin ing sun that will bring out the latent cussedness in human nature, that one thing isa mining proposition. Men will lie, steal, go back on their pled- ges, even in written words and con- tract; in fact, would deny Christ so often and repeatedly that Peter of old wasnt in j; in the denying business. All this is brought out by 6 mine or even a mere prospect of c mine.

Early this morning MT John Fox, an old Tombstone miner, died sud. denly in his bed. presumably from heart failure. Several days since he was badly shaken up by a fall Of sev. ersl feet into cellar, although he did not complain of any ill effects he re- mained in bed. His friends attended his wants and this morning when visited he was setting up in bed feel ing cheerful and smoking his pipe. Ten minutes later he was a corpse ex- pi'ing without struggle. Uudoubt- edly the cause was heart failure, A coroners jury was impaneled and returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. Fox was about 8 years old and we'll known hereabouts, Ne,h- ing Is known of his relatives. Tine funeral took place at l o'clock this afternoon from Tarbell's Undertaking parlo.s,

THE TAX RATE Some of the Things to be
 Considered

The board of Supervisors are in session today 10 fix the tax rate, The day is given up to the examination of preliminsries, making estimates, and dolng considerable figuring. The county tax rate will probably be the game as last year. The rate would be much lower were it not for the fact that S6OOO additional must be paid this year on one of the series of bonds held against the county which fall due this fiscal year. With this pay ment total of Sl9,000 will be paid on redemption account and nearly Sll 900 on interes. account for be it known Cochise County is still $l66, OOO i'll debt, The original indebted. ness has been reduced $34 900 in the past lew years and t5is year will cut offSl9, ,000 more. The territorial tax IS increased cents per SlO0 over last year and the county s:hool tax, accord. ing to the estimate of Supt Bradley covering increased number of child ren, new districts and apportionments needed, will require levy of about 10 cents more than last year. The liberal policy of the board on the school levy will be appreciated by the
 taxpayers for heretofore school mat te's has suffered because Of insutficen, funds. Notwithstanding these gains and benefits the total tax rate will not be increased although the drain on the general fund for extra court ex- pense and criminal busin sss, as during the past year, has been the largest in years. The tax rate wlll bs decided upon this afternoon or tomorrow.

INDIAN TROUBLE
A Probable War Between Two
 Big Tribes

An associtted Press dispatch from Jerome says, Jerome was thrown into afeysro excitement today by a band Of Apache Indians in war paint passing through. The leaders of the tribe stopped and purchased a large amount of smmuni,oin and hastily left in the wake of their fast disappearing com rades. The band halted in 8 canyon in the vicinity of Red Rock where the mutilated remains of an Indian and papoose were located. Both were buried and the braves took an oath of vengeance against the Zunis, the sup. posed perpetrators of these crimes. The Zunis are New Mexico tribe while the Apaches are of Arizona. A bitter enmi,y has existed for years be- tween the tribes hut truce had pu, an end to hostilities. The murdered Indians had left their reservation near Camp Verde and were surprised by Q band Of Zunis. The Apaches took their trail in the direction Of New Mexico and the old settlers fear that a serious outbreak wIll follow and end in the eItermination of one of the tribes.
