Tombstone epitaph., 1908-11-15

From all appearances the famed Lesdville district which is tributary to Tombstone is destined to become the ceuter of rivalry between two mighty aud powerful copper companies who are in the possession of the rich cop per m;nes of that district. fl import ant mining events that have recently come to light indicate anything.
 For the past year the c X A Go of Bisbee have been working a large number of claims in the Leadville district under bond and prosecuting development and exploration work with energy. It is known that large sums of money bave heen expended along this line ard extensive ore boiies opened up. A number of bonds m these properties have been permit ted to lapse, others renewed and sill holdings.
 The whole operation has been one of mystery to the ordinary Isyman not familiar with gigantic deals and fl ancial manauvers, leaving the miner, the prosnector and the owner looking on with wondermenr.
 Now it appears that another factor has been injected into the situation. The Copper Queen interests have been quietly at work acquiring holdings in the same district. A group of mires tbat were recently permitted to lapse by the c & A have just been acquired by the Copper Queen interests and another gronp of II mines, it is un- derstood on reliable authority, has just been bonded by the latter people for $200,000. All negotiations have beea conducted quietly and strict secrecy has been observed. l, is now believed, however. shat a rivalry for supremacy between the gigantic copper corporations has been precipitsted and az result mining values in that district have taken decided jump upward,
 It is known that negotiations are pending for several groups by both interests and some surprising develop
 
 ,uyurs well for the district.

HE STRUNG THEM UP
"Mescal Tells How II Happened
 Down in His Bailiwick.

The Republicans had an election over here the other day. The Demo- crats just called around to pay their respects. they hadn't time to vote. was clerk in the 4th ward. It was my serious and sacred duty, after holding up my right hand, to take a sack needle attached to the end of aoout four yards of hardware twine, and solemnly string the stubs, one by one, and subsequently, the ballots.
 It was like when we were kids and went fishing. We would have string which we would ruthlessly run through the gills of the unfortunate mud cats and let them paddle around till . gar came along and nsbbed the whole bunch. Then we would go home, the red.legged kids, each with a monstrous fish story to his mother. The way those fish grew on the way home was some wonder. Any way, did my duty. and the supervisors don't want to put in the remainder of the twen- tieth century paying for it.
 It just seemed that those dinged Republicans would never quit voting. They voted and voted till the ballot box was 60 full we had to tamp them down with plug of tobacco. and then they went to voting in the mail boxes over town. I think some of them are voting yet. Oh! ye feather-legged gods, how we longed for night or Blu eherl I mean for five o'clock or an earthquake we weren't particular which-and when the gong sounded we went fsinting to the nearest life preserver establishment, and - well that's all right.
 IL wasn't midnight till several repu. table firms telegraphed Mark that they had job for him. and it is not probable that we shall have to pass the hat for him right away.

THE SPECIAL HEARING
Arizsna's Outrageous Express Rates
 May Now be Reduced

Whether Arizona express rates gre to be reduced to what local shippers think is right, is HOW up to the inter- state commerce commission.

 Perhaps the strongest point made ] was by Charles Korrick of Phoenix. In the course of his testimony Mir. Korrick introduced the receipts to chow a glsring difference between the rates of the Wells-Fsrgo concern and the United States Express company Mir Korrick some time since had q 5O0-p,und package of goods shipped iron. Philadelphia to Phoenix. From Philadelphia to Santa Rosa, New Mex ico, they were handled by tbe Unitet States Express company. At Ssnt. Roea they were handed over to agent | of Weils-Fsrgo. The distance iron Philadelphia to Santa Rosa is 25o' miles; from Santa Rosa to Phoenix 5O0 miles, Yet the charges for MT
 Korrick's goods were twenty-five cent greater from Santa Rosa on than wer assessed for hauling them a distsnc
 five times e great It was eviden
