(Saturday, June 21. 1479.
The hERALD to-day consists of tx page.
THE "TOMBSTONE."
Origin of the Name A Rich Min
eral District.
The il-omened title borne by this
district indicates the ready wit of the
h.trdy miners in coining names lor
new places, and also the pertinacity
with which a name 'will stick to a
man or place when it has once taken
popular hold.
The story as to the origin of the
name given to the district is, that two
young miners, brothers, nxmud fichae
tlin, had" reached Tucson in the early
pari of last year, on a pros eoting
journey. While mere they neara or
some likely luuicauons that Had been
seen on the hills around the ban Pe
dro river, about seventy milts away
from Tucson, and made up their
minds to go and prospect there. They
were strongly advised by their friends
not to go on what they considered a
fools' errand, and told them they
would find their tombstones their and
nothing else, "All right," replied the
hoys, "tombstones let it be, if we
can't do better, but we will chance it."
And away they went, up amongst the
wild hilis where the attack of the
treacherous Apache was no less prob
able than tli miners' every day risk
of accident and starvation. Buinoue
of these mishaps belel the brave lads;
they were singularly fortunate in
lisutiug upon a magnificent vein ol
silver ore, which piece of good luck
was followed by the discovery of oth
er veins equally valuable, in the same
neighborhood. A mining camp was
immediately orgauized by the disct v
crers, who, in derision of the dismal
forebodings of their friends, gave it
the doleful name of the Tombstone
District."
The Schaeflins had been in the Ter
ritory since 1871, but this discovery
wn made as recently as February,
ly7(i. Within the fourteen months
since thai time, some hundreds of
claims have bien locatad and many
of them developed into mines ot the
first magnitude; a town numbering
a thousand inhabitants, in which not
an idle or discontented man can be
found, and a iitas of silver ore has
been uncovered, rich and plenti'tll
v r.i ; i t
wit v-'e :inti I it c sea r.;iurii
i capitalists the ouportunitv of taking
I the lion's share of the S
li UillJlUI-
i ed from Nature by the impecunious
i miner. Tlie necessity ol procuring
! the bat on and beans of daily lite
j compelled many of the tirst lix-atoi
j in the Tombstone District to sell tlieir
I claims, inlrHnsically worth millions,
I tor less than a Jacob's mess of pot
Itajie; hut this process is about over
mid most ot the mines are now held
at prices that bear u nearer relatieu
to their real vuluu.
As the Shaeflins wer the first to
prospect the district, so they were
also the first to let the world know
its worth. General Saflbrd, who pro
ceeded General Fremont as Governor
of the Territory, and who is a man cl'
great vnv-rgy and executive ability,
associated himself with the ShacfJins
and their partner, Mr. Richard Gird,
iu the formation of a stock company
to work eleven claims which they
had secured, and one of which they
sold for 10,000 cash, on the beans
aud bacon principle referred to above.
The stock of this first Tombstone
incorporation was put at five million
dollars, and Gov. Sali'ord then came
t ISTtw England and delivered a ser
ies of able lectures on the wealth
and natural characteristics of the
Tombstone District. The Governor's
vitality soon bore fruit by interest'!!;!
a number of leadica: citizens m his
undertaking. - Mr. V. A. Corbin, of
New Britain, Conn., and his brother,
Frank Corbin. of Philadelphia, in
vested largely in the company. Mr.
I. S. Vosburg. in connection with the
Corbins, contracted to erect a ten
stamp ore-mill, a saw-mill aud other
improvements on the works. Thus
in every respect the company has
started with a more hopeful begin
ning than falls to the lot of most un
dertakings of a similar character.
This success we may fairly suppose,
is mainly due to the fact of a
thoroughly live mau, of high charac
ter and influence, having devoted his
energies to the matter. There are
now several Arizona mines in the
Xew York market as good as this of
the Shaeflins, whose future prosperi
ty is being fooled away through the
incompetence of the bunglers who
have thegt in charge.
Australia as a Market for Amer
ican Products.
New York, June 10th. The Tri
bune, to-day advises merchants and
manufacturers to fully avail them
livesof th advantages offered by the
Australian exhibition to advertise
American go ls. There is not a year
which a new market does not open
for some American product or manu
facture, and often in the least likely
placs. That the distance of this mar
ket al the antipodes has no deterring
! etlect. ts shown by the fact that this
1 city ships horse cars to New Zealand
at the cost of transportation of over
$2UU each, and agricultural imple
I ments to Australia. Let an article be
the best ot its kind and no fraud, and
'customers will come lor it from the
I furthest end ot the world.

The Silver KJng Mine Operations
af Picket Post.
The Silver Kins mine is situated
in the northern part of Pinal County,
Pioneer District, in a basin at the
foot of a steep mountain range, tvaj
discoverred iu lb"3, by C. (i. Mason,
B. W. Keagon, W. L.'Lnng and Ika
Koplin, anp was the tirst location
placed (n record in Pinal County.
Lon?: and KopliD sold their interests
to the other partners iu June 1SG'..
and in December following Masou
sold his half interest to Col Janie9
M. Barr.ev- for $300,000. Six monibs
later the "Silver King Mining Com
pany was incorporated with capital
.-tock of $10,000,000 in 100,000 shares.
Previous to the iocorporntion $2o0,
000 had been diyitled anion? the
owners, derived from sales of ore, and
since its formation the coiupaay ha
paid to its stockholdeas in dividend
$4.30,000. S'o assessment has been
levied. The property has paid all
expenses since discovery, built a teu
stamp mill complete, which is dw
iu full operation, and furnished
hoisting works, which will be iu op
eration some time during this com
ins week. The vein matter isquarlz.
the minerals counting chitf y of
chloride and black snlphrets, with,
quantities of pure silver in nuggeu.
The old shaft is down 237 feet and
drifts and tunnels in all direction
show that the mineral is not ODlyJde
posited on top of the ground, but ex
tends down into mother earth. A
new working shaft has also been
commenced which is to bo sunk 1000
feet. There is now in sight, by act
ual miner's measurement $1,000,000
besides 750.000 worth of ore n the
dump aud failings at the mill, which
latter are to be reduced by amalga
mation, a process the company is
about to introduce to their otherwise
perfect mill aud thereby save that
which is lost by present process.
The entire cost of the mill was 560,.
000. Wood and water are in the
vicinit- of mine and mill, and the
properly is distant lrom terminus of
the Southern Pacific Railroad but
sixty miles, the ore is hauled from
the mine to the mill, four miles in,
wagons. About fitly men are employ
ed by the company. Picket Post and
the town of Silver King both show
cunsiderable activity. TucaonCitizen.

The Boston Company are backed by

mined on the construction of a mail

ruad from this side at a point called
Soldiers' Farewell, 4'i0 miles from

nearly midway ot the route. The
distance (all rail) from New York to

Months ago, Rev. II. II. Messenger

The result of the correspondence

troducing the culture of the banana
in Arizona." The climates of the
Colorado about Yuma, the lower

likely suited to the growing of such

made to produce many choice fruits.
