ing eyes baking in the hot sun. An

1t seems very likely that the glories
of, Tombstone may be revived. The
Tough Nut and Train Quality mines
are still running with limited force
of men, and produce by the new pro-
cess, paying quantities of gold and
silver. The decline of the camp can
be dated back about a decade, but
many high grade veins of copper and
gold have been located aud developed
since then, and the deposits only await
the erection of reduction works to be-
come large contributors to Cochise
county's gold and copper output.
Efforts are being made to combine
the Tombstone mines under one man.
agement, by which the now idle-lying
properties can be worked profitably.
Years ago the then advancing political
policies, together with misunder-
standing of the owners, killed the
mines. They we're connected on the
same level, and the one pump 10 the
camp kept going, drew water from all
the mines at the same time. Over a
dispute as to pay for this work, the
pump was stopped, the mines became
flooded and work had to be abandoned
and there the gold and silver has laid
ever since. Today it will take, it is as
serted, a whole million dollars to take
the water out of these mines.
The Prospector, daily paper, pub
lished by VIM. Hattick. and estab-
lished in 1888, and the weekly Epitaph,
established 1884, are still catering to
the intellectual needs of the 800 inhab-
itants of Tombstone today. As county
seat Tombstone sprung lately into
some prominence by the escape of the
three daring .rain robbers and ex-
county officers of Cochise county
which are up to date still at
large, and whose apprehension is more
than doubtful. As town itself Tomb.
stone is well worthy of praise because
it is one of the cleanest, healthiest and
most picturesque burgs in our never
too fully to be appreciated territory
of Arizona.--Otto Riedel-Koester in
The Vidette.

Utah Mines.

The biggest deal in coal lands ever
attempted to be consummated in the
West is now on ia this county and with
all indications of successful termina.
ton, says the Salt Lake Tribune. And
when this deal goes through there will
be erected in Salt Lake valley, prob
ably Salt Lake City itself, one of the
biggest steel plants in the world for
the development of the Iron county
iron deposits. The lands sought to be
controlled comprise eighteen town
ships to the west of here, between this
point and the camps of Scofield and
Castle Gate on the west, and extending
from Price on the north TO the town
of Emery on the south.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
deal may be had when it is stated that
the lands are In strip thirty-five miles
in length aud eighteen to twenty miles
in width, and taking in the greatest
coal fields in the country. At 10s an
acre, the lowest possible purchase
price for lands of this class, the outlay
will be over 4,OO0,OOos, besides the Sc
curing of private holdings along the
veins, and of which there are hun
dreds.
The men behind the scheme are at
st. Louis and have already made ap.
plication to the state for the lands, the
state in turn applying to the national
government for their setting aside.
These facts are given out by an east
ern Utah land attorney, who has been
cognizant of the deal for some time,
but who does not desire that his name
be used. That there is more in the
deal than has up to this time appeared
upon the surface is attested by the
fact that there is at this time in the
field surveying the ground corps of
engineers, numbering sixteen to eigh
teen men, under the direction of j. &.
Dick, well known in Utah. and who has
stated the facts as here given to friends
in this county.
Mr.. Dick and his party have been in
the vicinity of Huntington for the
last two months, and are expected to
reach Price within the next few weeks,
when the greater part of the work will
be completed. OF course the develop
ment of these lands means the build
ing of line or several branches OF
railroad, aud there are those who see
in this coal deal the extension of the
Denver and Rio GraDde railway to
Salt Lake City and perhaps the com
ing of other railway lines.
