WEEKLY EPITAPH.
TOMBSTONE. ARIZONA, OUNE 0, 18..
The feeling of sectionalism whioh
has heretofore brought disaster on
our Territory, is not yet wholly' ex
tinct. Wo notice that somo news
papers up north who aro loud in
their protestations of devotion to the
interest of Arizonans, novor Ipso an
opportunity to stir up this bitter
sectional feeling. Their narrow
mint's cannot look beyond the limit
ed boundaries of their own imme
diate surroundings, and in their
vanity and egotism they imagine
that all Arizona is embraced within
the limits of their particular section.
Nojrue man who has tho welfaro of
tho Territory at heart, will stoop to
so prejudiced and suicidal a cour.se.
There is no cause for heart burnings
or dissensions among the people of
the Territory. We are one with a
unity of interests and a common
destiny, and he who attempts to sow
tho seeds of dissension and sectional
strife, should be heavily set down
upon. The drawing of tho party
lines and the bringing together of
representative men animated by a
common purpose, has done much to
destroy this baleful feeling, and tho
efforts of "Independent" guerilfas to
revive it, for personal ends, will fail,
as they deserve to.
Have our readers consid
ered well what a debt they owe to
the underground workers who dig
from the depths of the darksome
mine the sterling substance which
keeps alive every industry, and sends
through the veins and arteries of
trade the life blood of tho commer
cial community? No class of our
citizens are more deserving the
praise and gratitude of Arizonans
than those hardy delvers who risk
life and limb in the sunless oaves
where death and disease are always
present. To their strong arms and
atout hearts the people of Arizona
owe whatever prosperity they enjoy
to-dayvan(l-'on thoir coasoless toil
must the future of our Territory de
pend. Under Philip II. the discov
erer ot a mine was enobled by the
laws of Spain, and entitled to rank
with the old grandees of tho purest
blue blood. That nation, then at the
summit of its power, recognized the
value of mineral discoveries, and the
brightest page in its history, is that
whioh records tho honors conferred
on tho men who poured into its cof
fers the wealth; of "Ormus and of
.Ind." All honr toihtse who de
"vote their lives in adding to the
wealth of nations and the happiness
and comfort of humanity. Arizona
shall always honor them, for they are
the men who will yet make her a
powerful and prosperous state.
Joiin P. Ulum is no longer post
master of Tombstone, and, though
bearing him no particular love, wo
are constrained to advance tho opin
ion that he has been thanklessly
treated by the administration. While
the offico was rated as fourth class,
ho advanced over one thousand dol
lars out of his own pocket to make it
"'of service to the public. Now,
when it is beginning to pay, the gov
ernment expresses its gratitude by
removing him. Whatever else may
iuve been his sins he has certainly
enade & good postmaster, Some of
his employees were insufferably in
dependent, but he himself was
always attentive. Mr. Clu&i has our
svmpathy.
It ia stated that Governor Tritle
will set out. once again for the Na-
' ional capital, the object being to se
cure an appropriation from the gen
eral government for the putting
down of " lawlessness" in this Terri
tory. We know nothing of the Ter
ritory at large, in point of lawless
ness, except it ia reported law-abiding,
but as for Coohise county
it is as mild a mannered community
as the freshest pilgrim from tho land
of steady habits would desire, to livo
in. We are so distressingly peace
able down here, just now, that Dep
uty United States Marshals find thgir
occupation gone, and sigh fcr the
festive days of old.
The combined efforts of the legal
advisers of the nheriff of Pima coun
ty, together with the united talent of
the executive office of tho Territory,
failed in drawing up a proper requi
sition. And yet such a docomeni
presents no very diffioult problem.
Perhaps the eristenoe of the Repub
lican party in Arizona was at stake.
In any event it is matter for congrat
ulation tlt T)oa Holliday is not to
he brought back.
Wiiilb the people of Tombstone
sincerely thank those citizens of the
Territory wiio have proffered asjJst-
unoe, thoy wish it to be understood,
that they are in no need of aid. No
.one is suffering on account of the
fire, and if thero was, our citizens are
both itblp and willing to take pare of
them-
The Star says that tho Treasurer
of Coohiso county is "crooked."
Dunbar, on tho other hand, claims
that tho grand jury is cross-eyed.
The Star also assorts' that thesai'd
Treasurer is a, Republican, but tho
Republicans themselves swear that
he is not that kind of a political fish.
We havo an idea that ho is as inde
pendent as a hog on ice. In the interest
of justico, the Bfitapii informs the
Star that tho Tieasurer's office was
found to bo balanced to a cent.
Somewhat crestfallen and huraili
ated, wo imagine, must be the feel
ing of the Sheriff of Pima County,
when ho reaohes Tucson, after his
abortive attempt to secure cheap
popuhmty at tho expense of a bro
ther officer in a neighboring county.
Mr. Paul has placed himself in a
ludicrous position, and afforded the
people of tho Territory a subject for
dorisivo laughtor, long and loud.
It is reported that several would
be congressional and other Republi
can candidates are industriously
searohing for tho Republican party
of Coohise county. They will bo
obliged to get a requisition from tho
Governor to find it. Even a Con
gressional appropriation can only
effect a resurreotion of its remains.
We are informed that the assess
ment roll of Coohiso county will foot
up noarly $4,000,000, makingittho
richest county in tho Territory. The
resources of tho county aro only
partially developed, and wo expect
within tho next two years to see these
figures doubled. Coohise is the
banner county of the Territory in
point of wealth and resources.
There is a good deal of talk in
tho .Territorial press about having
Arizona represented at the Denver
Exposiion, but so far, the only coun
ty that has taken any action in the
matter is Cochise, If the rest of the
Territory expeots te be represeted,
they will havo to use somethiug
more effective than jaw-bone.
The approaohing Democratic Ter
ritorial Convention .must- take no
middlo ground or advocate no half
way measures, regarding tho living
questions now beforo tho people of
the Territory. Let its platform be
clear, straightforward and thorough
ly in accord with the sentiments of
our peoplo and tho spirit of Democ
racy. The Star says that it has not yet seen
it stated in the EriTAru that "Tomb
stone will rise Phoenix like from its
ashos." And it is not likely to see
it. Our stock of similes is still good
for a half dozen suoh blazes, with
out invoking one whose age aud
long service, entitle it to a rest.
Mb. Fleres, of Charleston, is anx
iously inquiring how somebody who
tried to kill him, was let go without
a trial. It is a three-handed dispute
between the court, olerk and district
attorney, with the grand jury as um
pire. Evidently, Fleres does not
understand the game of thimble-rig.
Jimmy 'Woods has announced him
self as a candidate for the office of
Sheriff of Coshiso county, subject to
"the will of the people." The will
of tho people, Jimmy, is a good deal
like a petit jury its verdict is bouud
to disappoint some one.
With plenty of water, Tombstone
can be made one of tho most attrac
tive towns in tho Territory. Nearly
all varieties of shade trees will grow
hore, with sufficient moisture, and
many a private jesidence can bo
beautified aud adorned by flowere
and shrubbery.
As a Democratic proposition it is
proposod that the country shall have
full representation. The Republi
can aim is to placo the entire politi
cal management im the hands of a
chosen fow ia tho city.
Governor Tritle has 'shaken jtk.o
dust of 1'rescott from his feet,
and there is a void in the Capitol city
which not even tho Prescott rifles

place on the 10th instant. Let them
declare tlip full desiro of the Demo
crats by being generally aitepded.
It is rumored that a Republican
paper will soon bo started in Tomb
stone,. That suits us exactly. There
is nothing like a square fight in a
political campaign.
With a leader who was worthy of
them, the troops now in the Territo
ry would boon make short work of
tho renegades who so nimbly skip
back'and forth across the border.
It is reported that Governor Tritlo

form for drawing uj requisitions.

'1 he peoplo of Arizona are unani
mous in demanding a ohange in the
commander of this Department. We
want a man of the Cook or McKen
zie stamp, who will establish hisjhead
quarters in the field, and remain
there until the last of these red dev
ils are exterminated. A man who
has long since outlived his usefulness
should be removed from a position
whioh he has not the ability, physi
cal or mental, to fill.
In unity and harmony there is al
ways strength. Tombstoner's are
practising both virtues just now,
with commendable zeal.
The EriTAru is seriously canvass
ing the question whether there cou
be found a man in Tombstone who
has not a political axe to grind.
Sheriff Paul's trip to Denver,
although intended for a Holliday,

No wondor good Republicans are

Shortly after a German known as

Penver Exposition.
Denver, Colo.. May 27, 1882.
Tke superiority of tho Mining and In
dustrial Exposition a means of advertis
ing the various mines ot the country, is be
ginning to be fairly comprehended and as
It is better understood, it must draw in
those districts which are now apparently
lukewarm. Tho disadvantage of hasty
preparations and consequent incomplete
exhibits will naturally result, and the par
tially represented districts suffer accord
ingly. Still it Is fast becoming apparent
that an entire absence -will work to the
great injury of any mining district. Tho
case would be different it only Colorado
ores were to be exhibited, but Colorado, in
spite of the location of the Exposition will
only play u small part in the aggregate of
the exhibition. Within tbe past ten days
formal applications hare been rccoivcd lor
soace to exhibit ores from ' Dakota, Utah,
New Mexico and California, and from
some isolated mines in Arizona, but the
latter cannot be considered a fair index of
the wealth of tho Territory. There are
many cogent reasons why no time should
he lost by the miners ot Arizona in the
worK oi preparation, and a lew will be
given. Denver is visited every season by
thousands of people from the eastern
states and from Europe. Noarly nil ofths
tourist cla$s aro men of wealth, as the
journey costs too much for a man'of limit?
cd means to undertake It. These tourists
"do not sec the whole country, and fears of
Indians, or some reasons equally as foolish
will deter them front seeing Arizona.
They will not fail to see tb,e Jlxpoaltioa
and If Arizona mines are represented thero
they will examine the display. If there
are no ores from that Territory shown they
will content themselves with what is ex
hibited, and on their return East, they
may report Arizona a myth, so far as mines
are concerned. Denver will not be in
jured by the absence of Arizona, but that
Territory will feel it. A reason given by
the Black Hills Pioneer oovera The case.
It says. "Uy muting a thorough . and
honest showings at Denver we can dispel
the false ideas engendered by evil reports
promulgated by blackmailers and rival
districts; we can create an interest that
will Induce capitalists to visit us. and as a
visit nine times out of ten, has in the past,
insured investments, we can reasonably
look for a continuance in the future."
To the Tombitono distriot especially,
these words have a meaning. It is only
recently that uic mines of that district
were disastrously manipulated in the
Eastern niarkets.'Utterly regardless of their
intrinsic value, and to the damaee of the
entire district. No work can be done to
remove these false impressions, that will be
more potent in plapjng the brand of falaei
hood squarely upon 'these' injurious fop'orta
than a thorough exhibit of the mines. A
convention of those interested should be
called at once, and a committee of active
workers formed. These should be well
sustained and assisted bj the miners. A
pamplet should be prepared, setting forth
oil the inducements the county has to offer
capital, and the minerals should be shown
in sufficient quantity to fairly represents
the mines.
Every Inducoraent native to the Tefrl;
tory that will qnc6urage pew inTt'stments
should bu distinctly portrayed. 'No min
eral so humble that it should not 'find
place and representation. The advantages
of such a display will be apparent to all.
juuuwuK u uujiqrp are "m(4K luycsieu aa
through the Boutherq States, from Yirginla
to Louisiana, directly traceable to the
lessons of the Atlanta Exposition, Millipng
will follow the Denver Exposition "and be
invested among tboso mining diatriots
which participate. A portion of this
should go to Arizona, and will go there, If
its citizens show that It can be well In
vested. But they must show this. Other
districts in other Territories are acting,
will Cochise county remain passive ?

A CALABASAS PLEASANTRY
Contraband Mescal Vaptared and
What Besotted Tlierenroaa.
Last Wednesday evening, near Calaba
sas, somo of tho laborers employed
in that vicinity captured a Mexican in the
attempt of smuggling mescal across tho
line, and representing themselves as cus
tom house ofllcials confiscated the entire
cargo. Of course the feat was loudly
cheered by their companions and It was
moved and seconded, that the spoils be
"punished" forthwith. This they pro
proceeded to do, but there being several
gallons of the contraband it required sotm)
liile time to get away with it. Jest and
merriment abounded and the party wet)
in high glee. Tho impromptu revenue
officers, naturally were the heroes of tin
occasion, until ono fellow grew jealous of
the congratulations, showered upon hn
neighbors, and announced that thatfea',
was nothing compared with something ho
had done on the San Pedro about a year
ago- All asked what it was, ani wero in
formed that he "took In" three Mexlcars
with fifteen gallons of mescal
and two bushels of ''tobacco, wth
sundry boxes of cigars and
baskets of panoche on the Son Pedro,
last summer. The crowd were unanimous
In declaring it a fine feat if it occurred.but
this a number of them doubted. The h :ro
of San Pedro said he told the truth, and
could whip any one who thought differ
ent. There was about a dozen who
thought different and so announced them
selves. Tho fellow who bet on hinmslf,
withdrew from the crowd and declared his
intention ot going to camp for a gun. Oa
the return trip ho met one of the "reveme
officers" and dared Lim fo'djfaht. n Th
challenge was accepted, snsltliey com
menced to blaze away at each other, being
about twenty yards opart Both had heavy
Colt's revolvers, and both advanced as
they firod. .Two shots from each, passed
harmlessly, but at the third fire the "revo
nue officer" fell, mortally wounded. The
other fellow, when he seen his antagonist
fall, wheeled around and ran towards a
mesqulte grove and has not since been
seen. It is supposed that he made his way

The Barnt District.
Already the hum of the hammer, pick
shovel and other tools of labor and inaus,
try is heard in the burnt district. The old
ruins are being cleared away, foundations
laid, new adobes piled up, lumber hauled
and preparations made on overy hand far
immediate rebuilding. The TriboleU ever
activp, progressive and industrious, have a
large gang of men at work on the corner
of 4th aniTAUcn streets, and erelong n sub
stantial building will raise up from tne
ruins. The enterprising proprietors of tho
Alhambra saloon on Allen street have
the foundation laid and the
old rubbish cleared away. A goodly pile
of adobes are piled up here so that it will
be but a matter of a tew weeks when the
hum of industry and trade will issue again
from the Alhambra. The other buildings,
too, arc in "a fair way ot being speedily re
built. The enterprising Bilick express
ed his determination of rebuilding on the
day of the tire, ere the flames had yet com
pletely devastated the"' old cosajopoujaj,
Jo has not weakened in his determination
and men will be put to work to clear away
ine ruins, lrameuiaieiy. ua every siac wo
hear tht determination to rear finer struc
tures than were destroyed by the flame,
and it is safe to say that in six weeks more
tbe traveler to Tombstone cannot see n ves
tageofthe late devastating flumes in the
bonanza camp.
A Cariosity.
Some few days ago the favorite saddle
horse of Recorder Jones, who is surnamed
"Bob," got something in his throat. Any
amount of coughing could not relieve the
poor animal from the unpleasant intruder
and though he battled for life, vigorously,
It wag almost a settled fact that his hours
were numbered. His breath was com
pletely shut off, and tho attendants looked
for his demise at any moment. Tbe ani
mal was'at Dunbar's stable, and as a last
resort Mr. Dunbar resolved to experiment
with an idea of his own.' lender his direc
tion, the animal's throat was cut aud an
incision made in the wind pipe aqd
through the cut thus made, s, rubber tube
was ipejM, Through this artificial
channe.1 the animal inhaled air, and
breathed for moro than sixty hours. At
the end of that time the obstruction in tho
throat was ejected and tlie animal i now
in a fair way of recovery.
Of Interest to Ladlrx.
Among the many attractions at the fire
men's picnic to-morrow, will be a ladies'
foot race. There is no doubt but tho mem
bars of thp fair se will make a good race,
and xqrt tUeipselves properly, td capture
the prtie. Th'o'followlng ladies have sig
nified their intention to take part in the
race: Nettie Irwin, Katie Wmterbourn,
Miss Blanchard, Magsio Powers. Ella
Coggawplj and M.amte Davis. This will
b$ an intf renting' contest; and will no doubt
demand the iindevided attention of the
tl)e spectators. In this connection it
xpight be monjloncd that Doctor Matthews
and Mr. Wright, of the Girard mine, will
take part in the men's slow race.
