Geronimo on Duty:
Geronimo, Natchez Mangus, and the
14 other murdeiing Apaches now do a
daily stint of fatigne duty about Fort
Pickens under a guard from the 2d Art.
They wear the government fatigue uni
form and wield the rake and hoe, and
trundle the wheelbarrow, with about as
much industry and cheerfulness as the
white prisoners. They are terribly afi aid
of the sea, and for a long time none of
them would go near the water. The
dashing waves and the stories that are
told them of the man-eating sharks are
enough to keep up this terror. Gerom

Nellie Cashman, an "old timer" in
Arizona, arrived in Tombstone yesterday
and is registered at the Occidental.
Nellie is one of the best business women
in the Territory and is deserving well of
success.
There has not been a drop of rain fal
len in Monterey county for the past two
months and the crops are all ruined. The
condition of affairs will bring ruin to
many of the settlers along the Salinas
river. It is said that no amount of rain
now could change the result.
Raiders Ooma to Grif .
The Mexican thieves who have been
raidintr the boarder of Senora and Ari
zona came to grief a few days since. The
officials at the San Pedro Cusiem house
captured two of them and started for
Arispe with their prisoners, but when
about four miles out from the Custom
house their prisoners becoming some
what unruly they shot them to save time
and expense. The other two were also
captured by the prsfect at Arispe and
he also choose the prevailing method and
now the four raiders are hors de comDai
This is dealing out justice with a ven-
gence, but it is characteristic of the Mex
ican people, no guilty man escapes in
that country and it must be said many
that are not guilty are made to walk the
gang plank.
A Pioneer Gone.
Henry W, Kearsing the pioneer assay
er of Tombstone is reported to have died
somewhere in Sonora abeut two months
since. He was also a pioneer of Arizona;
fought Indians in this Territory and Col
orado, as Lieutenant on the medical staff
after which he resigned and embarked in
to the more congenial occupation of as
saying for the Silver King mining Co.,
He came to Tombstone in 1878. He
left here about a year ago. His career
was a very eventful one. he was an ad
venturer in California, before the dis
covery of gold, since which time he has
roamed over and lived in every State and
Territory west of the Rocky mountains
and Mexico. He was sixty-five years of
age at the time of his death.
Not George's.
Neither Dr. McGlynn nnr Henry
George originated the theory that
human happiness will result from con
fiscating all the land and owning it in
common; the fascinating doctrine has
been practiced in every quarter of the
globe by every savage tribe ever since
the first hairy man emerged wild-eyed
from his cave and sharpened a stone
with which to kill some other brute for
breakfast. Geronimo endeavored to
take possession of the settlers' lands in
this Territory a la George, but General
Miles interposed his objections, and
Geronimo left for Florida in disgust.
Oh, no, Mr. George must not lay claims
to being the originator of this land
absorbing plan.
A Miner's Inoh and Unit.
Many people and many very goed
miners have often asked us "what is a
miner's unit?'1 A miner's unit is an assay
button that weighs one unit on an assay
scales. This button is equivalent to one
ounce and twenty one-hundredths of an
ounce to the ton when taken from 240
grains or one-half ounce of rock Troy
weight, or in other words, one unit is oee
thousandth of ten grains, 480 grains
being an ounce Troy. While speaking
I of this we will explain in a few words for
the uninitiated that a miner's inch of
water is an apperture one inch square,
above which the surface of the water
stands five inches., or six inches from top
to bottom.

Sinclair's La Chance concentrator
was in fine working order yesterday, and
the EPITAPH reporter on visiting it found
it t be catching a large quantity of the
Toughnut concentrates that go to waste.
These concentrates before being worked
by the Sinclair process have been twice
worked for all they are worth by the
Toughnut concentrators, and Mr. Sin
clair on assaying the last concentrates
caught by his machine, says that his
third concentration of the waste tailings
amount to about three dollars more per
ton than do the second working of the
tailings at the mill. Quite a number of
mining men are watching the working

tons of concentrates from the lost or

Sheriff Slaughter received a telegram
from E. B. Parker, one of his three depu
ties at Willcox yesterday that the Mexi
can horse thieves and bandits recently
driven out of Sonora by Governor Tor
res' officers, and the same gang that he
telegraphed. Mr. Slaughter were coming,
have stolen from the Erie Cattle Com
pany, and have turned back for Mexico.
At last accounts the Sheriff had tele.;
graphed for the direction and was pre
parine to intercept them should they
make a flank movement to get back to
Mexico, adjacent to the line from Tomb
stone. Mr. Gladstone, in his article on Ire
land in the Nineteenth Century, bases
his hopes of a speedy concession of
Irish demands upon England's innate
sense of justice. We hope he is not
trusting a delnsion, but Ireland's woes
have been vainly appealing for a long
time to that "innate sense of justice."
Forty-nine convicts will be released

it were not for the fact that others are
going in as fast as convicts come out,
there would be some reason in the claim
that the State af Illinois must in the fu
ture become Democratic.

On the afternoon and evening of
April 12th, 1887, at Summerfield's old
stand an entirely new stock of goods Is

Society. In stock are dolls of all sizes,
balls, pins, thimbles, alphabets, plates,
laundry cushions, aprons, brackets, etc.
The kinglings of Europe arc plainly
victims of the war craze, like the great
emperors. Greece, Denmark and Belg
ium must make as much ado proportion
ally ovey military preparations as Ger
many, Russia, and Austria, and, like them
be badgered into burdensome outlays.
If there were any truth in the story
that Brigham Young had returned to life
again it would be hard lines for the mea
sly old mormon, to crawl out of one grave
only to be tumbled into another, would
be wearing upon even a prophet's consti
tution at this time of year.'
Captain Lee and company of the 9th
infantry are now stationed at Nogales.
Official orders command him to establi-h
his camp at least a mile north of town.
He has issued orders that no United
States soldiers under his command cross
the line a good order.
The Quijoioa mines are coming up,
recent developments in this one famous
mining camp are attracting more than
ordinary attention. The Peer, Peerless
and Crocker, are commencing to loom
up great.
Delinquent taxes are muddled. Legis
lative action has so acted that it is a mat
ter of doubt whether they become delin
quent before the first day of July 1887.
This is a little rough on speculators who
bought property at the last tax sales.
Work is being pushed forward with
considerable energy at the Emerald
mine. Recent developments at this
piece of property are such as to have
justified them in employing an additional
force recently.

crystahzed fruit cathartic. A boon to
every household. A most delicious
laxative or purgative, prepared from
fruits and vegetables. So perfectly
harmless that they may be administered

land. For liver complaints habitual
constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia and
piles, they are a specific. To travelers

The Salvation Army appeared on the
streets last night. At a recent meeting
several of the members protested against
the street meetings on the ground that
they caused unpleasant remarks.
The remains of Bart Callahan, Louis
Davis and Mr. Stevens were removed

death.
Twenty-five years ago to-day the bat
tie of Shiloh or Pittsburg landing was
fought. It was one of the bloodiest of
the war and demonstrated the fact
that Americans were fighters from "away
back" to "the spirit of '76."
A street fight occurred on Al'en street
last evening above Fifth between two
miners. The two combatants ignored
Marquis of Queensbury rules and pum-
meled each other pretty lively until sep
erafed. It was a draw.
