History Of Tombstone.

Tombstone has been dead camp for
eighteen years. but IS now getting to be
very live one again Its experience Is SINH
lar to that of I.eadville. At one time 1t had
a population of 5000 or 5000, which after
ward ran down to 300 or 400 Recently the
deserted houses are being reoccupied and
there are about twelve hundred inha btants.
800 of whom are working in the abandoned
mines. This was one or the rlchest camps
ever discovered In the United States. Ed
ward l.. Shietflin. an old prospector, found
II In 1877. He went over there to prospect
at a time when the Apaches were making a
great deal of trouble, and his friends adj
vised him to take a tombstone along. He
found the rich veins that soon became
famous, and. as taunt to his friends
named the place Tombstone. He Is buried
on the summit of a hill commanding wide
view of the country and his grave is
marked by a pile of granite boulders.
Within two years after Shlefflin struck
pay dirt. 5000 mines were in operation with
In radius OF twenty-five miles and the
ore often paid SlC0 to the ton. Altogether
more than S5O,OUo.oo0 of gold and silver were
taken ont OF the. camp, until 1887, when
water was struck at 800 feet and it became
impossible to sink shafts any farther. Sew
tral of the companies installed pumping
plants. but they did little good and their
operation was too expensive to make II
profitable. SO one after another the mines
were abandoned. until last year, when
Frank NJ. Murphy of Prescott and r. b.
Gage, who was formerly a partner OF n. ~
Fairbanks of Chicago, bought up all Of the
old claims. They have pierced tunnels ana
installed powerful pumps and are now De-
ginning TO get out ore. They have invest
ed altogether about So 800 900 which shows
their faith IN modern methods ana ma
chinery. They are raising several million
gallons OF water every day and are taking
out large quantities of gold, silver and lead.
They expect 10 strike the copper zone very
soon.
The resuscitation Of Tombstone illus
trates more strikiugly than any other opera
ton the effectiveness of the modern systems
of mining. 1t Is purely a business PROPOSE
ton. There is no luck or guesswork or
speculation. Murphy. Gage and their assoc
ciates know that large bodies of ore are
stored in the hills about that town, and
they are prepared to go after it in
methodical.' scientific manner: while science
and mechanical ingenuity have provided
them with means to overcome difficulties
which were insurmountable few years
ago when Tombstone was abandoned

CIVIL SERVICE RULES NOW PRE-
VAIL ON THE ROCK ISLAND--NEW
REGIME INSTITUTED BY NUDGE

Civil service has been thoroughly
established among the employees of the
Rock Island railroad since II. ".
Nudge, who was formerly general
manager of the Santa Fe at Topeka,
has taken charge OF the operating de.
partment as second vice president of
that system, says the Topeka Journal.
Although Mr., Nudge has been with
the Rock Island but two months, and
MS plans for the reorganization of the
operating department have not yet
fully matured, they have progressed
a enough to get a line on the policy
OF the new head Of the operating de-.
partment Of this road.
Positions OF responsibility will be
filled by promoting men of worth
whenever opportunity presents itself
under Mr.. Mudge's regime. Merit
Will be given recognition. and Mr..
Nudge has begun his administration
by an application Of the Rooseveltan
Idea for "a square DEAL"
Mr.. Nudge has begun his admins.
tration by promoting fifteen officials
from among the employees on the
Rock Island system. most of the pro.
motions going to those who are
identified with the class known as the
"old Rock Island men. AS viewed
In comparison with the policy of each
OF the past several administrations,
this policy makes a remarkable show
Ing. These moves have become a
topic Of conversation among the EN-.
ployes Of the system, and have had a
wonderful effect in winning the CON
fidence of the employees to the new
head of the operating department
Mr.. Mudge's civil service policy was
in a large measure responsible for his
popularity on the Santa Fe. and from
appearances will also be true on the
Rock Island.
The promotions made by Mr.. Nudge
on the Rock Island are noteworthy be
cause during the time SO many
changes of administration have beer
made during the past four or five
years, no promotions, with possibly
one or two exceptions, to positions o.

ing Rock Island" men recognition
On the other hand. quite the contrar.
has been the case. Rock Island meI
have been deposed to make room TO
men brought from foreign roads dur
ing each regime to officer the re
sponsibe places on the system.

IN DIFFERENCE TO SENTIMENT
Youth Who lnsulted the President Re-
 stored to Public School

Washington, March 19.-Local public school circles are perturbed over the suspension of Reginald Hodgson, a pu- pill of the high school, by Miss West colt. the principal, and his subsequent reinstatement by order of Director of High Schools Hughes. Young Hodg- son, during a recitation in English last week. requested permission to illustrate the use of the word 'debase." Going to the blackboard he wrote in bold char acters the sentence: President Roosevelt debased himself by eating with a nigger."
 Hodgson had only recently returned to classes from a term of suspension for repeated defiance of the regula- tions against smoking during regimen . tai drill, and Miss Westcott, regard ing his action as one of fragrant dis respect end tI.e continuation of a long series of insubordination. again sus- pended him and ordered him before the board of education with a recommend Gtion that he be expelled
 Director Hughes, however, ordered the reinstatement Sof Hodgson, as he did not think the offense called for his dismissal. In his opinion the boy shouldn't be expelled on this. particular charge because of the effect it would have on public sentiment.
