WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
Matters have been running along at tho
usual rate In this djstritt forthc past week.
There has been no new developemcnls of
more than oidinary consequence, but
work has been carried on with the
usual ttouduless. Development work in
the smaller mines is being vigorously
prosecuted, and it is a safo aeition to say
that there is moie woik going on now than
ever before. The western portion of the
dislrict holds lis own well, and promises
to rival Contention Hill at no distant day.
The great producing mines yield about
tho usual amount of ore, which is being
converted into bullion as fast as busy
stamps can crush it. The following is
the latest information from the mines:
T. m & Jt. CO,
Nothing of special importance to re
port this week, save thu successful
starting of tho smeller at Charle-s
ton on Monday last. The experi
menu of using the manganese, oro from
the Lucky Cuss for flux has proved suc
cessful, and men and teams will ba busily
engaged for some timo to come, breaking
and hauling oio from the last named
mine. Ten men have been employed to
build a road to the mine in order to facili.
tato tho transportation of ore. Tho West
Side is looking better than ever, and shows
Haltering indications of holding out.
HEAD CUXTl'lt.
Still taking out ore between the first and
third levels. Quality of thu oio "steadily
improving, and promising much belter for
tho future. Still at work strmgbtenlng
and Improving the shaft,
win VILLA.
Winze in south drift below tho 100 level
has been sunk four feet in good ote. The
vein continues to look better and the ore
improving in quality as depth is gained.
The vein is widening nouthward, being
now from five to six feet wide. During
the week ilrom llvo to six tous ot
fine oro have been extracted dally. The
prospect shaft on tho south end of the
mino is looking very gwd, show
ing good prospects. Everything in and
about tho rnluo is in good shape.
INGltSOI..
No new works have been started and
things are running along about as mual.
Tho usual a mount of ore is being raised
to the surface daily. All tho drilts arc
looking well and tho stopc on tho 80 level
Is much improved. Negotiations nvo in
progress for the erection of tteam hoisting
works and itj is more than pro
bible that.,tho sluill blasts of thu
sieam whittle will be heard in a few days.
STONEWALL.
Tho works nro all in excellent condi
tion and producing tho usual amount of
ore. In consequence of the largo quanti
ty of ore ahoad of the mill only
ono load a day has becen shipped
for some time back. The new
double compartment shaft has now attain
ed a depth of foity-tlvc feet, and is still in
hard lime rock. It is expected that the
now shall will not strike the ledge for 200
feet.
HORSESHOE.
AVoik is progressing fairly, and tho ind1.
cation of oro is good. The cross cut lu.s
notv been extended 230 feet, and all indi
cations load to the belief that tho ledgo
will be struck in, a few days.
CIHAXD CKNTHAI.
There have been no new developments
during the last week. Have commenced
work on the south end of the claim and
aro drifting from the bottom of the shaft
on tho Grand Central lode for thu Naum
k 01151 edge, where thero is a largo showing
of good ore. This poition of their ground
has never been touched other than tbo
oiiginal prospect work. The stopc-t con
tlnue to yield well. They have n largo
block of ground on thu north end of their
mine, next lo the Contention line, above
tho 400-foot level, that has never been
touched. The great bonanza on the 212
foot level of the Contention is making
strong toward this unexplored region, uml
there is every probability that it will
prove itself quite as good in Grand Cen
tr.'lns in Contention.
I.VCK SUItK.
Shall No. 1 is iIovmi 00 feet,. Tho ledge
continues to increase iisdip into tha moun.
tain as they go down on it, and also to
widen. It is now four feet between Ihc
walls. Slatted drift north at SO feet in
Shaft No. 2, which has been driven in GO
feet, showing a 2-foot vein of rich ore for
the whole distance. 'They happened to
strike a short chimney of manganese ore
where tho shaft was located, which has
continued down thus far with them At a
few feet on either side is the chloride ore
filled with born silver. Have been ship
ping ouo load of oro daily to Iho Roston
Mill for the past week. Struck a new
chute of ore on the lower ledire, Unit assays
$230 per ton. The force having been em
ployed assorting and loading ore for the
past week, there has not been much work
done on the mine. Will commence ink
ing again, however, in a foT day?.
SAX 1'EDltO.
The northwest drift on the 205 foot level
Is in 82 feel. In that distance they have
cut two" veins of ore from one to two feet
wide. They both dip to ihc southwest nt
an angle of A degree. Have been ft,l.
lowing an open fissure forSQ feet, in which
are small bodies of i ich ore. On the left
side of the drift there, is a vein of ore two
feet wide that dips slightly southwest.
They have started a stopc on this oie, fob
lowing it on the dip towards the porphyry.
Incline from same drift is down 05 feet in
ledge matter. Crosscut fiom bottom 20
feet toward the Vizina has cut
two reams of ledgo matter. Ure on 223
level In the southeast drift looks well and
will prove the same as that on the 203
level, several tons ot ore on tlio iiump,
with considerable in tho mino awaiting to
be hoisted to the surface. Let contract re
ccntly to sink 50 feet on shaft on south
west side of claim. This shaft shows a two
foot vein of good ore in the bottom.
VIZINA.
Main crosscut on the -100 level Is now
extended 275 feet. The drift on the a00
level is now in 17(1 feet westerly and within
four or five feet of the upraise of tho 400.
All the prospects nro looking most encour
aging. Shipping the usual qunntity of ore
to tho mill. Tho prospect shaft west of
the office is down to the bedrock having
passed through lfi foot ofcleluis.
THUNTlUltllOLT CON.
Making good progics3 in Hie crosscut
and tho indications excellent. Promises to
be one of tho gicat mines of that part of
tho district at no distant day.
LlTTLi: DEVIL.
Still keeping up lis proud position, as
the producer of tho richest ore in camp.
Have again commenced to sink, and driv
ing along without serious change. Large
quanlitie-i of high grade oro on tho dump.
THANQUILLITV.
No serious change since last week. The
stopes are showing up well, and are pro
ducing largely. Tho steam hoist is work
ing well and all tiie rock is now being
raised through the main shaft. Tho mine
was never in better condition, everything
wearing a promising aspect.
CONTENTION.
Everything is running along as usual,
without much change since our last re
port. The crosscut on thu COO level is
making good progress, mid the develop
ments arc cheering in the extreme. The
ore body on tho 212 level improves
daily, and there no longer remains a doubt
that a largo ore body lays in that vicinity.
There is an immense amount of ore in
sight in tho mine, more, in fact than tho
mill has power to crush in two years,
o o. 11.
The shalt bas now attained a depth of
100 feel. Stiuck a cave a fev days ago,
containing small pockets of very rich ore.
The mine looking good, and holding out
nattering prospects.
BAULK.
Still continues to improve. Main in
cline shaft now driven about 110 feel. Still
in a fine body of medium grade ore. An
immense body of ore in sight and -everything
encouraging,
llANDOLl'lI.
"Winze No. 2, near shall 1 is down 120
feet in a solid body of oie. Winze No. 3
is making gootf progress, and the drift ex
tends 00 feet. Winze. No. 4 is down 73
lect, still in ore. Everything looking
good and prospects of tho mine arc excel

Crosscut started west filtyfour feet from
surface, and ore body looking good. "Width
of ledge no! less than twenty.flve feet, oro
of fair average grade.
NOTES.
The successful working of manganese
at the smelter will prove a big thing lor
the camp.
Superintendent Tregidgo, of the San
Pedro, returned from Bisbec last evening.
He reports the Copperopolis in good con
dition, tbo shaft being securely timbered,
and everything made ready for ex
tensive developments.
Col. Jack Henderson and Hugh Mc
Donald departed for the Montezuma dis
trict, Sonora, a few days ago.
Tho lilue Jacket is showing up ex
tremely well and promises to be one of
tho gieat mines of the district.
liUCKIIOUN DISTMCT.
News from the Ruckhorn district in the
Chiricabuas, is of a most encouraging
chaiactcr. The mines iu Ruckhorn Basin
in-the west slope of the mountains about
eight miles south of Bowie arc promising
llattcring returns to the owners as devel
opment progrcssus. Thu Juno, owned by
J. "W. Grant and Owen "Williams is down
115 feet, and has a ledge ftvu feet wide, as.
saying from thtriy to fitly dollars in fiee
gold.
The Sunnyside, owned by Frank
Abrahams is down 100 feet on the
ledge with the pay slreak three feet
and a half wide at the bottom. Tho ore
from this mine is being reduced In an ar
raslra, and the owners are making a good
thing of it. The llomestaUc, owned by
Tom Keefe, ot this city is a very promising
prospeel, only ten feet deep, having a four
foot ledge, and assaying fifty dollars a ton
from the grass roots. All these claims are
being vigorously worked, and me located
only about three quarters of a mile fiom
the Joephinc mine.

A Xciv Caniunlirii ioilj'.
The Hon. John Carr, Lord Mayor of
Tombstone, created something of an ex
citement on the streets yesterday by cxbib
tinga wood cut engraving ot Lord .Mayor
McArlhur, ot London, and calling alien
lion to the remarkable resemblance that
existed between the chief magistrates of
Tombstone and the British metropolis.
This i the latest campaign dodge on rec
ord, and should pan out well on account
ot lis extreme originality, liiero is no
doubt but that tho "human bean" meant
to convey the idea that he was a great
man because his phiz somewhat resem
bled n plain wood-cut engraving of his
worship, the Lord Mayor of London.
Mr. John Kelley, assisted by his accom
plished lady, promise the people of Tomb
stono another musical entertainment be
fore taking their final departure for their
home in California. Mr. Kelley, at his
entertainment, a few evenings since, gave
it out .:s his last appearance before the
public, but having met so many old lricnds
lias, through them, been prevailed
upon to give one more entertainment,
which will bo announced through the col
umns of the Epitaph at no distant day.
Tiie committee on streets, of the city

-il mid St'i IH-lVat I'retlietro.
The excitement consequent oa the pio
mutation of the Republican ticket is still
at its height, and the general disconlenl is
still prevail nl. Thu Democrat, ol couiso
are in a happy frame of mind, and openly
assert ilia; thu itckci is tho best, bu very
best that could be put m the field. 01
course this is mount iu a Pickwickian
sense, meaning that it is the, very best for
them.
It is now well known that Bh.ckhuin is
Harwood's trainer and groom in-chief,
and that ho owes bis nomination solely to
the great conuubiator's masteily manipu
lation of tho convention. Ilarwood was
doomed to certain defeat a few days before
tho convention, and Moses was striding to
the winning post at a pool lover's pace,
when lo, Ihc "unillcater'' made bis ap
pearance on the scene and trotted out Har
wood, and the machine was afraid
to give "him b.tltlo- Accordingly no
gotiatious weru enleicd into, Moses
was ruthlessly slaughtered, McCarty and
Atchhou drhen from the field, and a clear
course lelt open for the present nominees.
This is mi.seerct now; every body who lias
taken any interest in the contest is fully
aware of it. Bates of lienson was the first
approached in the game of bargain and
sate, and lie was secured wilhout much
trouble. The Benson tt:itu?mnii was. from
the day of the primaries: until the morn
ingot tho day on which the convention
assembled, a warm McCarty and Moses
man. In pursuance of the bargain en
teicd into at the behest of the "eonnubia
tor" lie was "approached" and promised
the under shrievalty incase he cast his
vole and influence in lite Wa:d-!Iarvood
scale. JIu did not hesitate a moment, but
accepted the bait instantly. He bad three
proxies and his own vote, wh'c'i was
ruihcr a valuable consideration to secure.
As soon as tho deal was made known to
Judge Moses, he accused Bates of treach
ery, and :t warm scene ensued. Bates
uublushingly, addmitted his venality,
saying that he had only contracted to vote
for Moses himself, and that he was willing
to do, but would vote his proxies for liar
wood. This was enough for Moses, he
knew very well that ho was doomed to
slaughter, and theicfore concluded to with
drew. This was how Ilarwood was
nominated. Wind was made tho nominee
of the party through the influence of the
old Eaip strikers. It has leaked out that
the Earns and some of their friends have
been iu correspondence fr some tune
bad;. Wyatt is running a faio game at Gun
nison city, Coli.r.ulo, aud be sent word to
try and elfect the nominalion and election
of Ward and be would immediately re
turn. Virgil Mirp wrote to the same effect
from Colton, California, and Doc llolliday
echoed the ciy from Pueblo, C doiado.
Thus instructed the "strikers" bore, laid
wires for Ward's nomination, and every el
ement seeking an ally was taken into part
nership. The faro games of the cily took
a hand also, and though tho macl na bad
promised to support Atchison, influences
of a discreditable nature wero brought to
bear at thu last moment and Ward w is de
clared tho nominee of the party.
Meeting ycstciday afternoon the R;pub
lican politician whose views wero publish
ed yesteiday, an Epitaph reporter observ.
cd: I sec tho Republican is not of the
same way of thinking as you are. This
evening's issue claims that the Epitaph is
trying to resurrect old issue, and display
skeleton bones under the nostrils of the
community.
"Oh, you simpleton," he answered, "that
talk is all Imncoinc. The managers of that
concern understand the true bu-lness as
well as any one el-e, and bc-ides are just
iih disgusted with the ticket as any of the
rest of us. I knew Dunbar was opposed
to Ward, and is not in favor of an Eaip
restoration, but knowing that Ihc absent
outlaws bossed the Republican party in
this county, he had to Hop in order to
maintain his standing. That's the whole
business iu a nutshell. But no person will
lake notice of the Republican's ravings,
especially when they arc made to sabc the
true business. It ii really a worse ileiuo
gogue than old Cair, and 1 am jiafly as
tonished at Dunbar, who is a nun from
whom I expected sense. Every one knows
that the drivel ho sent forth this evening
about the Democrats nominating aristo
crats is the merest bosh. Why, man, Al.
Jones is an old time miner, and can polish
a drill as good as any man m this district
I know him for a long time, and there arc
lot3 of men in this town who are well
aware tint he worked as i:n undeigiound
miner for more than" a year uftei he
struck this camp. Ilesidoj he is known
as an opeu hearted, generous fellow
who never refused lo file an instrument
for a prospector, money or no money.
And don't you forget, youngster, that
there are plenty of prospectors in this
county to-day whose title to their claims
were secured hy Jones' generosity, and
they won't be very likely lo forget the
donor, whatever may l.v their political
principles. Speaking of generosity re
minds me Did you or any one eKc ever
hear of Ilarwood doing a generous act in
this community V Ten to one you didn't.
He is a me in, stingy, little cuss, who was
never known to give up a cent without
adequate cati'o. Again, the Republican
this evening cast a deliberate slur on every
miner in the camp. The idea of compar
ing old Carr and Ilarwood to miners!
Why, man, the intelligent men of the com
niunily are miners; they are leaders and
hard student-!, who invariat-ly keep them
selves well posted. Who ever entered a
miner's caoin without finding newspauew,
books and magazines? I never did ! Then
again, the play of the Republican that
none but rich men could be educated and
fit for ofllcc. Ain't that absurd ? Because
the nominees of the Democratic ptrtj can
read, write and spell, must they be neces
sarily arislocr.its? Guess not! At least I
don't think so, but certainly will, for the
first time in my lile, vote the Democratic
ticket, because your party had sense
enough not to outrage the intelligence of
the community by presenting for their sul
frage, men, whose highest educational
accomplishment is to scribble their names.
And as I made this tall; to you yesterday,
I want to boar you out: Tell the Republi.
can that I will bet its editor $50 that
John Carr and Win. A. Ilarwood cannot
be arraigned before a competent judge and
spell eight words out of twelve right.
Now, good evening; if they take you up,
let me know."
There was not a sign of a bluff on the
eptaki'i'i f ice as he look bis departure and
the earnest oxpiossion was conclusive
proof that he knew whereof ho spoke.
The general feeling around town yestcr
day and last night, was that the Epitavh
whs showing how "dead and hurried"
issues could bo kept under tho ground,
instead of trying to resurrect them. It is
admitted all round that the election of
Waid would bring back the Earps, and a
general feeling is predominant that only
the election of Larkin W- Carr can keep
the issues of the past where they now are.
That the Earps are in correspondence with
the trainers of Ward, there is not n doubt,
and that they would again infest this
community in case of bis election is ad
milted by everyone.

A Man Shot .Vcnr IJlMlice The Mavnges
in t'ore.e. Kescue ot the Wounded
.11 an ny leu Williams) and a I'ohif.
Tuesday night about dusk, BillJohnson,
commonly known as ''Liberator Bill," was
attacked by a band of Indians while un
hitching his team, about len miles from
Bisbee. To Mr. Air. Tregidgo, who re
turned from Bisbeo last evening, wo arc
indepted for the pirticulars of the nfl'air.
It seems that Johnson is a well known
scoul, and was engaged during thedav,
cutting hay in the southern end of Sulphur
Spring valley. He had a boy about twelve
years old assisting him, and about dusk,
leined up his horses and proceeded to un
hitch. Tho well known, and to his ears
familiar yell of the noble aborigine, caus
hini to start and jump for his rifle, which
was secured on the mower. Ere he reach
ed it, however, the savages commenced
shooting, thu first bullet striking the mow
er, glancing off, and indicting a painful
wound on the sidu of thu head near his
left ear. Immediately after another bullet
landed square in his abdomen, but fortun
ately struck a cartridge in bis belt, thereby
saving his life. He crouched behind the
mower, and shouted to the boy who was
some distance away on horscoack, to ride
to Bisbee for help, saying that he would
entertain the cusses until assistance arrivj
ed. Tho boy did as directed, and made
lively time to Bisbee, and informed the
people of the transaction related.
Ben Williams, superintendent of the
Copper Queen immediately set to work to
organize a posse to go to Johnson's assist
ance, and ere many minutes had a dozen
resolute men on horselnck riding to the
scene of the outrage. The rescuers re
turned to Bisbec about midnight uccom-p-iuied
by the wounded man. lie was not
seriously hurt, though tho wound in his
