HISTORIC TOMBSTONE.

No mining camp in all the Union has
such setting of romantic history
Everywhere in the territory there are
former residents of Tombstone, and the
sands OF time run so swiftly it is
only by recollecting that the first dis
covery at Tombstone was made as Ear
back as 1877 that one realizes that IN
truth Arizona is in new era. II was
in that year that Ed" SchiefTlin, I'M
daunted by marauding Apaches and
undismayed by taunts that he was
going forth to locate his tombstone,
made the first of the discoveries which
We're to make him and Tombstone the
subject of campfire stories wherever
the English tongue is spoken. Schief-
fin sleeps by his own direction under
Il monument overlooking the historic
site of his discovery, and although lie
lived long after the mushroom city had
fallen into the decay of deserted viii
lage, and although throughout his
wanderings and the vicissitudes which
befell him as one OF those frontier
spirits whose soul is forever beckoned
onward to the distance he never lost
faith in the ultimate revival of Tomb
stone, it was his fate TO cross the
great range" before the coming of the
new day. How Tombstone became one
of the worlds greatest producers of
the precious metals, why the produce
ton fell off, why there followed a pr2c-
teal cessation of all work, and why
the camp is now on the eve of greater
. prosperity than it knew at the zenith
/ OF Its Slory-d prosperity which will lie
1asting-is, after all, simple story.
The ores averaged over 800 a ton
| The bodies were of such extent that
they quickly attracted the attention OF
mining men from all over the world
/ In addition to the locations which We're
| made by Edward Schieff1in and his
| brother, Albert, company after COM
pany took over additional claims. There
was much conflict over location rights,
! but finally ownership was chiefly CEN
! tered into three groups owned by the
| Grand Central, the Contention and the
Toughnut companies. Other important
properties were owned, however, by the
Head Center, Tranquility, Empire,
Wilma Sulphurct and others whose
names are not now recalled. In addi-
ton to this. numerous claims were
held by individuals. 1t was d dry
camp, and as a rule the ore was trans
| ported in wagons to the San Pedro
river, eight or ten miles distant, for
treatment. Altogether, there were $50
stamps dropping on ore from the camp
by the year 1879, and the town had L

NAV he eclipsed by tangible results,
and when this is so the bare recital of
achievement becomes absorbingly in
teresting Evidently, the Development
COMPANY of America was organized TO
accomplish, and what it has done ap-
peals to the mind of every person who
is interested in mining in the terri
tory.
The object being to give to Repu5li-
can readers some idea of what is going
on in field which Arizona offers
for legitimate investment intelligently
directed, this outline sketch deals more
specifically with the enterprises OF the
Development Company of America,
because that company is one of the
chief agencies through which the gen
eral transformation already spoken of
is being wrought, and because that
company is so strong financially and
cares so little whether the newspapers
mention it that the most extended re-
view of its operations could not be
charged to Interior purposes any more
than could g review of the business CT
the Southern Pacific or the Santa Fe
railroad.
In this connection it is of interest TO
note that the writer had the pleasure
short time since of meeting Mr.. Geo.
A. Beaton, a director in the Develop
ment company. and president of the
American Finance and Securities COM
pany, which is the financial company
handling all the securities of the De-
velopment company, and learned from
him something of the plans and oper-
ations of the Development company in
connection with large investments re-

facture of lumber on an extern
sive scale. Some railroad construction
| is necessary, however. before this can
be advantageously done. | also gath
cred from Mr.. Beaton that if satisfac-
tory arrangements could be effected it
was the intention of the Development
company to acquire the famous Con-
gress mine. Whether this can be done
or net, remains to be seen. There
seems, however, to be no limit to The
scope of this powerful financial organ
ization. Arizona is certainly fortunate
i'll securing so much of the energy and
financial strength of this company.
What the company has done for Yav-

CHANCELLOR HILL NOW
IN FAVOR OF ATHLETICS

ATHENS. Ca, Oct. 1s.-Chancellor Hill,
in an address to the university students,
has defined his position in regaru to col
lege athletics.
The chancellor stated that when he as
sumed the head of the university he was
to a certain degree prejudiced against in
tercollegiate athletics. He said this opin-
ion was held by him on account of his
lack OF knowledge and familiarity with
the question. He stated that AFTER obser-
walton and investigation, he has under
gone a decided change of opinion In re-
gard 10 intercollegiate athletics, and that
he heartily Endorsed the kind of athletics
pursued at the university. He stated that
the faculty agreed with him in the in
dorsement OF athletics and was glad the
student body were against professionism
and that they stood for pure atnIetics.
Ever since Chancellor Hill assumed con-
troll OF the university the student body has
desired TO know his opinion of intercolle-
giate athletics and his remarks of appro-
val were greeted by applause.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct 19-James
Younger, formerly a member of the noto-
rious James band of outlaws. which in

century ago. committed suicide today by
shooting. On bureau In the room was
found a long Manila envelope. on one side
OF which was written:
ITO all that is good and true love and
bid farewell. JIM YOUNGER"
On the other side Of the envelope were
these words:
"Oh, lassie, goodby.
"All relatives just stay away from me-
No crocodile tears wanted.

Jim YOUNGER
The envelope contained a package OF
letters that had passed between Younger
and a lady with whom he is said 10 have
been much in love. The lady, who is prom
inently connected. is said 10 have reeip-
rocated his affections and II was reported
at one time that they were 20 be married.
The lady's relatives raised strenuous
objections TO the wedding, and a further
obstacle was the fact that paroled pris-
oner could not legally contract a mar
riage. The couple determined 10 disre-
gard the objections OF relatives and an
effort was made 10 overcome the obsta-
cles 10 their marriage by securing from
the state board OF pardons a full pardon
and restoration to citizenship. This emort
failed. and this. IL is thought. had much
to do with Younger's determination to
end HIS life.

Letter.

ATLANTA, Oct. 1s-Our market today closed
on about an average of points below last Sat-
urday; also fluctuations during the week did
carry II from 10 points below to 10 points above
the present figure. This fully verihes our fore
cast Of a week ago. viz.: "A fiuctuating market
with generally lower tendency"
The outlook for the coming week is for a
continuation Of similar conditions
Receipts are somewhat lighter, and promise
to become more 90. while last year during
the corresponding week they were very heavy.
Some rains may be expected in the western
portions Of the belt, followed by colder weather
and perhaps frost. The coal strike is settled
and the financial situation much improved. A
prominent speculator Mr.. Gates, of stocks and
grain notoriety, is said to have Joined the
bull clique in New York cotton market. These
are the bullish features which will affect the

great weight with the foreign element. whom
he represents, as be has heretofore been more
correct than others of his class. While a
crop estimate Of eleven millions. considering
the worlds present requirements, should have
no depressing effect upon the market yet IL
will have tendency TO make spinners hesitate
in their purchases and thus prevent any ex-
teHsive advance In spot cotton, which in turn
will reflect itself in the future market. The
foreign demand for spot cotton is not good
even now.
We consider cotton a purchase all weak

Murphx G COO COTTON Letter.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-Disappointing
cables had depressing effect on the early
cotton market. While the movement was
light and decidedly below expectation in
view of the better weather of late, which
should have tended to swell the receipts.
nevertheless certain surroundings were
unsatisfactory, such as the high tempera-
ture in the south. uncertainty as regards
the January deal. and the fact that the
total movement for the season to date ex-
ceeds last year by half a million bales
Bulls, however, will profit by the compar-
alive movement during the coming week
Since last years figures were $4,000 bales
which were the largest weeks movement
of the entire season, and it is estimated
that the figures of the coming week only
not exceed z75,O00. Some interior points
today reported quite small receipts and
while the temperature in the south was
quite high, the forecast was as rule
for rain or showers, which II is contended
would prove injurious to the plant, In
fact dry weather is said to be necessary
for some weeks. Estimated receipts at
the ports were 1900. against 10000 last
year. The market was dull during the
brief session, but prices rallied by IL
a. m. on a forecast of showers and cold
er weather for Texas. Arkansas and okla
