JUIUIIT AIIOUT FACE.
As lias been assumed by those well
versed in the United States Land
Laws, the secretary of the inferior
has reversed former rulings in rela
tion to the issuancn of patents to
mines and they will hereafter be is
sued devoid of the heretofore obnox
ious reservations in relation to town
sites, as will be seen, by the follow,
ing extract from Secretary Kirk
wood's letter of instructions to the
commissioner of the land office, in
the case of the Vizina Consolidated
Mining' Company, of Tombstone,
publishod in the Reporter, a Wash
ington journal devoted to national
affairs. Ho says:
"Clearly, it must bo assumed,
prima facia that a mineral claimant,
who has a right to a patent, has pos
sessed lits claim and maintained his
right to possession thereto in accord
ance with the mineral laud laws. In
suoh a case, therefore, the only other
question to be determined is that of
priority by selection or location as
between a townsite and a vein. or
lode mining claimant. I
also forward herewith, for ap
propriate action in your office,
the application of the Vizina
Consolidated Mining Company, filed
in this department the 2'Jth instant,
by its attorney, J. A. Mandeville,
Esq., to have patent issued to said
company upon the Vizini mining
claim without reservation in favor of
the townsite of Tombstone. Very
Respectfully, S. J. Kirkwood,
Secretary.
This would seem to settle the ques
tion definitely and without any pro's
or con's. This is a good document
for preservation for futuro reference.
Tub Contention Mill and Mining
Company, with whioh is now consoli
dated the originial Contention, Flora
Morrison, Suiphurct and a portion of
Head Center, has'declared a dividend
of twenty five cents per shale on
capital stock, and will be paid in a
few days at the banking house of
William G. Huey & Co., of this city,
who holds power of attorney for col
lecting dividends for stockholders re
siding in this city. The amount of
bullion from this property received at
the mint, San Francisco, California,
for tho last four months, would war
rant a dividend of lifty cents per
share. The object in pa) in twenty
five cents per share is to retain in the
company's treasury, a large surplus
for luture development and the erec
tion of a new stamp mill at their
mines, water beinir supplied under a
contract with thoGirard Water Com
pany. It is also proposed to remove
the twenty stamp mill of tho San Pe
dro to the now locality in the Tomb
stone district. This additional num
ber of stamps will givp the Contention
facilities of turning out about five
million dollars per year, from the
working of forty-fivo stamps. Phil
adelphia Bullion Miner.
From the Epitaph's information,
derived from the superintendent of
the mines, wo do not believe it is the
intention of the company to remove
their twenty-five stamp mill from the
river, ,but they will undoubtedly
build a forty stamp mill hero this
coming summer, or as soon as the
Sulphurut puts in pumping machin
ery adequate, for a supply of water.
The high grade oro will then bo sdiit
to tho mill on tho river and tho mill
at the mine will work the second
class, everything above ten ounce ore
being stoped from the mine.
The Pinal Drill of tho 18th in
stant, closes an article descriptive of
tho workings on the various levels of
the Silver King mine, with tho fol
lowing suggestive words:
With this immense ore body, and
tho extraordinary facilities for work
ing, they could just as well run 150
stamps at Pinal as 20. Them is no
doubt but, under the skillful man
agement of Col. Birney, tho Silver
King has been, from the beginning,
a financial colossus. It has paid for
itself, from the grass roots, and pour
ed a stream of wealth over the coun
try as freely as the waters of Niag
ara, but why they don't work a
thousand tons of ore a day, instead
of sixty, is a mystery to tho public.
We have tho coal fields close at hand,
abundanco of water, and a climate
which does not impede work of any
kind for a single day in tho year.
We hope soon to see this monster
mine worked to its full capacity.
That Oury wants to bo our next
delegate there is but little doubt.
That Ben Morgan wants to become
a candidate for tho office there is no
question; that Hon. John G. Camp
bell will bo in tho field wo are pre
pared to state is a fact. Who will
be tho successful man? Campbell
will have the money to carry his
point. Now, with these war horses
in the field, it seems to us that the
importance of tho matter should in
cite republicans to action. Wo want
a live, wideawake, active man to
battle successfully against the heavy
batteries of the democracy of Ari
zona. Wo don't want any lame
litnbALthe republican family to uoke
his nose into the pie, but a regular
rustier, who can fight- and win.
Northern' Arizona is entitled to the
next delegate, and It appears to us
that Hon. A. E. Davis could win.
No dead ducks arc wanted for the
race, and their 'propositions will be
rojeoted. Presoott (Arizona) Miner.
The whys and wherefors that
Northern Arizona is entitled to the
next delegate do not so clearly ap
pear. In our opinion the man whom
tho Republican Territorial Conven
tion shall decide upon as having the
ability and the means to win the
fight, whether he oomes from the
north or south, should be accepted
as the one ontitled to the. position,
and there should bo no divisions in
our ranks calculated to work his do
feat. Let there bo 116 north, no
south, no east, no west in the coming
campaign, is the Epitaph's motto.
THE FAIHOl'H GltXHIUHT.
"Alexis," in a letter to the Yuma
Free Press, from the Meyers district,
writes as follows about Tucson's pet,
tho Gunsight mine of the Moyers dis
trict, "the second Comstock," w
called. W publish the remarks for
what Jthey aro worth. "Alexis" al
leges as follows:
B. F. Bivens, former manager u.f
the Gunsight property, got a bug in
his ear, or, perhaps, he accidentally
had his hand behind him and a feu
dollars were dropped into ic. At all
events he said he was going to break
up Gila Bend station by building a
new road to lucson for the transpor
tation of his freight that way. The
new road was built and a damned
nice mess he made of the freighting
business. The experiment has cost
his company $5000 and yet they are
obliged to come back to tho Gil.i
Bend route. One of the Tucson teams
arrived yesterday ith part ot its load
(hoisting machinery) and tho remain
der is back sixty miles. This team
left Tucson on New Year's day, hav
ing been only six weeks on the road.
If the company has godd luck the
machinery and lumber scattered all
along the road may be got here by
next spring. They were forced to
lay off all hands and work has-been
entirely stopped on tho mine, await
ing freight. The Gunsight mine is
assuredly a bonanza, but under such
management it must necessarily prove
a failure. With 'all the blow that
has been made and money squander
ed in tho lasttwo vears, only 150
feet have been sunk' on I he mine.
Since one year ago last September
all the developments done on the
Gunsight is tho ciosscut at tho bot
tom of incline. Fact, by God! Such
is the management that is going to
"bust up Gila Bend."
Judoiso from the following re
port the Nova Scotiangold mines are
not a paying proposition. Tho New
York Daily Indicator of March 14
says:
Tho total yield of gold from mines
in Nova Scotia during the year 1881
was 10,750 ounces 13 dwt., against
13,234 ounces in 1880. Tho returns
from the un proclaimed districts
amounted to 2,436 ounces, an in
crease of 1,594 ounces over the pre
ceding year. Mr. Gilpin, tho in
spector of mines, gives a table from
which wo gather tho following data.
There were in all thirty-three mines,
in which 126,308 days labor was per
formed; these mines had thirty mills,
one-half of which were run by steam
power, and tho rest by water power,
which crushed in all 10,556 tons of
rock, having a general average yield
of 12 dwt. and 20 grains per ton.
The principal districts weie tho Cari
bou, with a yield of 1,129 ounces
from 1,001 tons of rock; the Monta
gue, yielding 900 ounces from 1,165
tons of rock; the Sherbrooke, yield
ing 2,580 ounces from 5,279 tons,
and the Umiike district, which turn
ed out 1,355 ounces of gold by
crushing 3,094 tons cf ore. Estima
ting the value of the gold at $18 per
ounce, the average yield per man per
day was $1.52; "the maximum being
$280 for the Wine Harbor district.
Hrnntor Fair an a Mluer.
3. F Dally ltcpott.
Aiiy description of the great bo
nanza development would be incom
plete without special reference to the
gentleman who is to-day directing
the exploration, benator James G.
Fair, hence wo reproduce u sketch of
Senator Fair's life. The subject of
this sketch is best known to the gen
eral public as a member of tho bo
nanza firm. But among miners and
mining men ho is accorded rank as
one of the most accomplished mining
enginiers America has ever develop
ed; and there are exports, traveled
and experienced gentlemen, who do
not hesitate to say that in the me
chanical management of colossal
mining enterprises Mr. Fair has no
peer. He was born December 3d,
1831, in Clougher, Tyrone county,
Ireland, and came to this country in
1843. He attended school at Geneva,
Illinois, for several years, and subse
quently secured a good business edu
cation at Chicago. In common with
other adventurous spirits, Mr. Fair
was afl'ected with tho gold fever in
1848, and in August of that year ho
arrived at Long's Bar, Feather river,
California. He mined on the bar for
a while, but failed to strike a profit
able placer. It was natural that ho
should turn his attention to quartz
mining. Placer mining was con
ducted in a primitivo style
in thoso days, and did n t
afford Mr. Fair fittine opportunities
for tho exercise of his peculiar me
ohanical genius. From the placer
bar to the quartz initio was an easy
transition for him. Wo next hear of
his being engaged in quartz mining
at Angels, Calavaras county, Califor
nia. And at a later period he fig
ured as tho superintendent of quartz
mines in other California counties.
even in the early day he ranked
high as a professional miner. ftTn
1805, Mr. Fair assumed the supenn
tendoncy of the Ophir mine, and in
1867 the HpIo & Norcross came tjjj
der his direction. During their coh
nection with the latter mine tho bo
nanza firm secured the first half mil
lion of their princely fortune. The
idea then occurred to Messrs. Flood
and Fair, of tho then moderately suc
uessful and comparatively unknown
firm, to obtain control of what was
then known as tho California and
Sides ground, the White and Mm-
phy, the Central (iNos. 1 and 4) ami
the 50 feet known ai the "Kinne
around." The clains wero eventu
tlly secured, and to-day form the
liunous Consolidated Virginia and
California mines. The action of the
lirm in regard to their efforts to oh
lain control of these paiticulur claims
was predicated, we believe, almoM
entirely upon the opinion and theo
ries of Mr. Fair, in whose unerrinu
ju Jgment and remarkable knnwledg
of everything connected with min
ing matters, his confreres relied up
on him imp'icitly. The result of
this gentleman's predictions and cal
culations aro familiar to every one in
our midst. The life of Mr. Fair,
lince the immense wealth of the
great mines poured into his lap, has
been tint of any sagacious capitalist
of vast means. Ho began specula
tion in real estate in this city some
time in '1808 or '09, and owns uearl
seventy acres in different parts of it
Now this property is of itself a co
lossal fortune. The senator repre

TUCNON 1TEHM.
From tbe Citizen, Much IS h.
Mr. O. M. Gibbs, late manager nt
tho Telephone company, of this city,
and Mr. Win, Bayley, of the South
ern Pacific railroad, will leave to
morrow morning on an extended tour
through tho Eastern States, also to
visit their relatives and friends in
Saltsville, V'rginia. They have been
very extensively engaged in mining
business during their visit to Arizo
na, and their mining interests now
embrace some of the finest in the
country. Their objecf in leaving
Tucson at present is for tho purpoe
of taking unto themselves partners of
the fair sex. This they have kepi
secret, but as usual such' things al
ways leak out.
'I'he Huncliurai.
From tbe Cltu n, March 18.
Mr. J. P. Pieston, who arrived a
few days since from the south end of
the Huachucas, reports extensive de
velopments as being made in the
mines of that section, which on the
whole aro said to be looking better
than was oven at first anticipated,
although b'g things had ever since
tho discovery, been expected from
the mines now owned and controlled
by tho Black Bear Copper Mining
Company, which under the superin
tendenco of Col. W. F. Witherell are
now working about fifty men, making
roads and grading preparatory to the
erection of two thirty-ton water
jacket smelters which are now said
together with all other necessary ma
ehincry, to be at Pantano awaiting
shipment to Ash canyon, their place
of destination. The foreman of the
mi'ie stated to Mr. Preston that
enough ore was in sight to iuii both
smelters for fully two years. Mr.
Preston also said that the Garrett
miuo in the same neighborhood was
all that representations had made it.
The vein on top being near one hun
dred feet in width yielded according
to forty average assays, the certificate
of which he himself" saw, fully $200
per ton. Tho property is reported
to, belong to the Preston Mill Com
pany. It was at this mine that the
trouble occurred between Messrs.
Paplin and McCurty which a lew
days since resulted in the death of
the latter.
Tulare Ablaze.
California :s noted for its esthetic
journalism, but the, following greet
ing from one Tulare journt.l to a
rival sheet takes the stato leather
medal for this sort of writing. The
editor says:
"Our attention has been called to
the Itist number of this travestie on
journalism, and reading over the
blinking catterwiillian, tatteidemalion
whimperings of the thing which pre
sides over that nondescript journal
istic uothingism, we are in doubt as
to whether lio knows or not, the cor
net meaning of "cat's paw." Sir,
we greet thee to the field of

bamboozle thee; we'll tickle then

and when we have thoroughly pickled
thee in the salt brine of our amiabil

wo will ca've thee with a Damascus
blade and serve thy minced carcass
up an a dish fit for the Olympian
gods. Wo wish you success, sir; and
in the language of St. Paul, relative
to Alexander the coppersmith 'May
the Lord God award you according
to your merits.' You have trieu us

try us in the newspaper field. The
chances are, there may be "pistols,
and coffee for two." Wo Lve thee,
so much that we see thee damned ere
we'd fight thee.
An Accidental strike.
From tbe Arizona Uazcttc.
We hear of a lucky strike made by
a teamster on tho Wickenburg road,
in tho Antelope laiige, a short time
since. It seems that some one else
was driving his team, and wandering
off the road his attention was at
tracted to a rich piece of float.
Further search disclosed from whence
it came, and thus was discovered a
very rich packet, which yielded in a
few hours work, free old to tho
value of over 81,000. Some very
rich placers have been worked in tlw
Antelope hills, and those rioh pockets'
are one of tho characteristics of that
eotion.

t How Much Slakes a Man ttlch.
"To be rich," said William L
Marcy, at otiu time secretary of state,
"requires only a satisfactory con
dition, of mind. One may borie,h
with a hundred dollars, while tholnan
of millions may think himself poor,
'and if the necessities of life are'en-
joyed by each it is evident that- the
man who is best satisfied with his
position is tho richest."
t To illustrate this idea Mr. Marcy
'i elates the following atieodto.e:
While I was Governor of the State
'of New York I was called upon
'one morning at my office by a
rough specimen of a baokwoodsman,
who stalked in and commenced;con
versation by iuquirinrr "if this was
'Mr. Marcy?" I replied that was my
name. i
"Bill Marcy?" said he. f
I nodded assent.
"Used to live in Southport, didn't
ye?"
I answered in the affimative, and
began to feel a little curious to know
who my visitor was, and what he was
driving at.
"That's what I told 'em," cried the
.baekwo dsman, bringing his hand
down on his thigh with tremendous
force. "I told 'em you was the same
Bill Maroy who used to live in South
port; but they wouldn't believe it,
and I promised the next time I came
to Albany to come and see you, and
find out for sartin. Whv, you know
me, don't you Bill?"
1 didn't exactly like to ignore his
acquaintance altogether, but for the
life of me 1 couldn't recollect having
seen him before, and so I replied that
he had a familiar countenance, but
that I was not able to call him by
name.
"My name is Jack Smith," an
swered the backwoodsman, "and we
used to go to school together thirty
vears afro, in the little red school
house in old Southport. Well, times
have changed since theivand you
have become a great man and got
rich, I suppose."
I shook my head, and was going to
contradict that impression, when he
broke in:
"Oh! yes you are, I know you are
rich; no" use of denying it. You was
comptroller for for a long time;
and the next time we heard of you
vou wa- governor. You must have
had a heap of money, and 1 am glad
of it glad to see you getting along
so smart. You always was a smart
lad at. school, and I knew that you
must come to something."
I thanked him for his good wishes
and opinion, but told him that politi
cal life did not pay so well as he im
agined. "I suppose," said I, fortune has
smiled upon you since you left South
port?" "Oh yes," said he, "I ain't got
nothing to complain of. I must say
I have got along right smart. You
see, shortly after you left Southport
our whole family moved up into Ver
mont, and put right into tho woods,
and I reckon our family cut down
more trees and cleared more land
than any other in the whole state."
"And so you have made a good
thing of it. How much do you con
sider yourself worth?" I asked, feel
ing a little curious to know what he
considered a fortune, as he seemed
to be so well satisfied with his.
"Well," he replied, "I don't know
exactly hov much I'm worth, but I
think (straightening himself up) if all
my debts wero paid I should be
worth $300 lear eash."
He was rich, for he was satisfied.
A Story ot WfbHler. .
Daniel Webster's, centennial birth
day was an occasion for many anec
dotes in tln New England papers.
It is related that a friend from Nan
tucket once objected because Mr.
Webster asked him $4,000 to go to
the island to argue a case. "I would
as soon argue the whole docket."
said Webster, who did not wish to
make tho trip. The friend said that
he would give the jireat lawyer
$4,000 if ho would argue such cases
as he should present before his own
case was called. Wher Mr. Webster
got to Nantucket ho found that the
friend's case was at tho foot of the
docket, and ho was expected to argue
he whole docket through. Ho did
so and received the $4,000, but his
client, who had "farmed" him out,
cleared 1500 besides winning the
case.
The following remedy, found in tho
diary of a Deerfield man: "Derek

on the headwaters of the mountain
tributaries of th? Sacramento river
for ten years. The lateness of season
makes warm rains and rapid melting
of the snow probable and damaging
'floods in the Sacramento valley are
almost 'nevitablc.
Despite the Sunday law, nearly all
the saloons in the city are open as

boot-black stands and news stores
closed. No attempt has been made
by the police to arrest the violators
of the law. Officers confined them
selves solely to collecting evidence.
Dispatches hive been received from
thirty-seven interior towns of the

noon with the west bound train at
Ulue Canyon, which had been stuck
there four days. They have got

Blue Canyon, trying to keep the road
open. Tho storm raged furiously
last night, tho snow drifting badly.
One snow plow is stuck west of Blue
Banyon snd another blockade seems
imminent. A later dispatch says the
snow plow bound west is stuck about
three miles west of Truckee. Tho
plow of the east bound train cannot
get here to-day. It is snowing here.
A dispatch from Alta says the situa
tion is very discouraging. The road
was opened last night and tho stalled
train passed. A heavy snow storm
has been raging since and they
deemed it impossible to keep the
road clear with the snow five feet
deep. A violent snow storm
is now prevailing at Truckee,
and a furious snowstorm raging at
Virginia City, and the snow is al

"I tell you dot vhas an awful fight,

Maybe you vhas mit Early, up mit

"No."
"So. Vhell, dot Early he vhas a

"No."
"Not mit Hooker down here! Den

"No."
"Vholl, by golly! Not mit Shack
son nor Lee; not rnit Hooker nor
Sedgwick! Vhell, dot beats mo all
oafer."
Both of us fell to and began eat
ing, and nothing further was said
until the meal was finished, and wc
had gone out to Jcok at some old
cannon whoels in the yard. Then
my friend put his hand on my shoul
der, lowered his voice and said:
"My friend, if you vhas not mit
Lee, nor Shackson, nor Hooker in dis
fight, maybe you und mtf vhas in deV-,
same place.'"
"Maybe so. Where were you?"
"In Canada!" he whispered.
He called "good-bye" after me as
I rode away, but I wouldn't have
answered him for $100.

" Stolen Kisses " neie received with
acclamations ul pleasure by a full house
last night as well as on the erening pre
ious. The Lingard's company is alto
gether the most talented troupe which has
ever visited the city and those who attend
lUcir play w ill remember the occasion with
much satisfaction and pleasure.
Complete arrangements have been made
to render the reception tendered by the
Tombstone Club to their lady friends this
evening a suie success. About 150 guests
are expected to be present. Eight o'clock
has betn designated as the hour for meet
ing. Developments in tlio Hunker Hill are
most encouraging. Sinking ha been re
sumed below the 180 foot lei el, and the ore
tody has widened from six inches to fif
teen, and is of a better quuhtv than where
first struck. The company has every rea
son to expect a rich mine. The formation
is all that could be desired, and the fissure
shows every evidence that it will go down
indefinhely.
Inquikies have been made for a map of
Tombstone district in such form as would
be comenient for earning about. The
demand can now be met, as the excellent
map ot this district and its surroundings,
compiled by Kclleher & Peel and drawn
by P. S. Ingoldsby, has been mounted on
linen and bound with a substantial cover,
and is thus very handy as well ns service
able. Parties w ill find Uiem at Robert
son's bookstoic.
We are glad to hear that Col. Tiffany
has been given a grand reception and

hope they will coutiuue to love him so
dearly that they will not go off on any

neitfhborint country.

THE DEADLY BULLET?
Tho Assassin nt Lost Successful
in Uis Devilish Mission.
Morgan r.arp Shot Down an Killed
While Ploying Billiards.
At 10:50 Saturday night, while 'engaged
in playing a game f billiards in Camp
bell & Hatch's billiard parlor, on Allen
street, between Fouith and Fifth, Morgan
Earp was sh t through the body by an un
known assassin. At the time the shot 'was "
flred he was playing a game of billiards
with Bob Hatch, one of the proprietors of
the house, and was standing with his back
to the glass door in the rear of the room
that opens out upon the alley that leads
straight through tbe block along the west
side of A. D. Otis & Co.'s store to Fre
mont street. This door is the ordinary
glass door, wilh four panes in the top in
place of panels. The two lower panes are
painted, the upper ones being clear. Any
one,standing on the outside can look 'over
the painted glass and sec anything going
on in the room just as well as though
standing in the open door. At the time
llie shot .was fired deceased must have
been standing within ten feet of the
door, and the assassin, standing near
enough to see his position, took aim for
about the middle of his person, shooting
through the upper portion of the whitened
glass. Tbe bullet entered the right side of
the abdomen passing through the spinal '
column, completely shattering it, emerg
ing on tbe left side, passing the length of
the room and lodging In the thigh of Geo.
A. B. Berry, who was standing br the
a painful flesh wound. In-
second was

His brother Wyitt, Tipton and McMas
ters rushed to the side of the wounded man
and tenderly picked him up and moved
him some ten feet away, near tho door of
tile card room, where Drs Matthews, Good
fellow and Millar, who were called, exam
ined him, and after a brief consultation
pronounced tbe wound mortal. He was
then moved into tbe card room and placed
on the lounge where In a few brief moments
he breathed his last surrounded by his
brothers Wyatt, Virgil, James snd Warren,
with the wives of Virgil and James and a
few of his most intimate friends. Not
withstanding the intensity of his mortal
agony, not a word of complaint escaped
bis lips, and all that were heard, except
those whispered into the ears of'his bro
ther and known only to him, were: "Don't,
I can't stand it. This is the last game of
pool I'll ever playi" The first part of the
'sentence being wrung from him by an ef
fort to place him upon his feet.
His body was placed in a casket, and
sent to his parents at Colton, Cal., for buri
al, being guarded to Contention by his
brothers and two or three of his most inti
mate friends. Tbe funeral cortege started
away from the Cosmopolitan hotel about

A Bite Ntrlke in Old Ciuard
In crosscuiting the ledge in the north
drift, 130 foot level of the Old GuarJ, they
have made one of tho most important de
velopments that has been known in the
district for a long time. Sunday evening
they were in C leet, solid ore all the wfcyt-4
leet of wh ich is of high grade and the other
two leet of medium grade. Such a body
of ore as that at the depth of only 150 feet
argues a great bonanza as greater depth is
attained on the lode. The Old Guard is in
the same range and formation as the Inger
soil and it wc mistake not adjoins it on the
southwest, and there is no good reason why
it will not prove equally as great a mine as
the lngcrsoll and possibly equal to any
thing in the district.
