Separate licenses must be obtained for each branch establishment or seperate house of busi ness located fn the same county. No license issued under the act authorizes any person to carry on any business within the limits of any incorporated city or town having power by its charter to impose or levy city or town license taxes unless such person, in addition to the license provided by this chapter, also procures the license required by the ordinances or orders of such city or town. Whenever any person shall violate the provisions of the act by transacting any business whatever for which a license is required, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be fined in any sum not more than three hundred dollars and not less than the amount of such delinquent license tax, together with costs of suit, and the judg ment imposing such fine shall specify that in default of the payment of the fine imposed thereby, the defendant shall be imprisoned in Ihe counnty jail of that county for a definite period of time, which shall not exceed the period of three months or until he pay such fine, the said imprisonment being at the rate af$l per day, and out of the money received from such fine the officer before whom the case is tried shall pay the amount due for such license to the sheriff and any residue, after payment of all costs, shall be paid into the county treasurer for the use of the school fund of the county.

Keepers of saloons and others shall pay a license tax of $50 per quarter. No license shall be required of any physician or anhothecary tor any wines or spirituous liquors they may use in the preparation of medicines.

BAILWAY MILEAGE. Actual Bber of Miles In Oparation January 1st 1887. The number of miles of railway in opera tion in each State and Territory in the United States on the fust day of Januaty 1887. is riven below. The growth of this industry during the last decade is simply wonderful and it is confidently ex pected that the next ten years, will be greater still. Arizona it will be seen is the 38th, Nine States and Territories having less miles af road: Miles Illinois 9,579 Iowa 7.97 Pennsylvania 7iSi7 New York 7.46 Ohio 7)4"3 Texas 7.34 Kansas . 6,059 Indiana 5,700 Michigan 5,468 Missouri 5.034 Minnesota 4,918 Wisconsin 4,796 Nebraska- 3,702 Dakota 3555 California 3,292 Georgia 3 274 Colorado 2,913 Virginia 2.727 Alabama 2,286 Arkansas 2,208 North Carolina 2,187 Tennessee 2,184 Kentucky. ,.,,..., 3,069 Mississippi 2,069 Massachusetts 2,018 New Jersey 1,955 Florida 1,939 South Carolina 1,802 Louisiana 1,363 Maryland and D.

S 137,500 A Xew Method. The telephone line between Marysville and Sacramento, Cal., says the Marys ville Appeal, has been in bad working order since the late rain, and a few days since J. D. Cushin and assistants were sent down the line. They got as far as ear River, where he found that over half a mile of the wire was missing at a point in the bend of the stream. Know ing that the use of the line was desired at once, and having no time togo to Marys. ville to secure wire, Cushin thought to try a novel means. He dragged the ends of a barbed wire fence near the railroad track and attached them to it. Upon re turning to Marysville in the afternoon he asked the employes at the bank how the wires was working, and they said it was daing fine. When he informed them that their messages were passing over a half mile of barbed wire it caused a look of wonder to come aver their face. This is the first feat af the kind which has been recorded. The Peak Sister. The entertainment to be given next Friday evening at the Schieffelin Hall by "The Peak Sisters" will be of rare amuse ment to onr people. Ten Spinsters whose opportunities far enjoyment in life have been very much suppressed, start out up on an exhibition tour under the guidance and direction of the eldest sister whose quaint efforts to show off the accomplish ments af her sisters from the playing of a Jews' harp to singing operatic airs, furnish the drollest and funniest situations imaginable. The sisters are accom panied by their own orchestra, and the instrumentation shows what wonderful effects can be produced by a tin trumpet and a penny whistle in artistic hands, or rather, we should say, artistic mouths. Those who wish to secure a comfoit able seat should early procure tickets, which are to be had at Peto's Drug store; Sol. Israel's and Brown's Book store. Tickets 50 cents. A Good Fighter. An Albuquerque, New Mexico, editor, who expected a gang of lynchers to come for him about the middle of the night, took himself to the cellar, leaving a pet grizzly bear in his place in bed- The lynchers djd not bri any light, but made a plucjcy attem.pt to get out the bear and lynch it, but gave it up after three of them had lost an eye apiece, two of them had suffered the loss of thumbs chewed off and the other six were more or less deprived af skin. The man now has a groat reputation at a fighter, and the bear did n,et mind the work one hit. OFFICIAL EEPOET. J PfoceaJings of the Board of Suporviaors of Cochise County- Tombstone, April 16, 1887.

Whether 'tis safer in the phycr to tale Ihe ,v. ful rhk of tklnning for a straight, Or, stinding pat, raie 'em all the limit. And thus, by blurting, get it To draw to tklR, No more and by that f kin to get a full Or two pair, the fattest bouqein' kingt That luck is heir to 'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished, To draw to skin. To skinl perchance to bust aye, there's the rubl For in lhat draw of three what curds may come We haii e shuffled off the uncertain pack. Must give us pause. There's the respect Whicli makes cal unity of a bobtailed flush, Kor who bear ths overwhelming blind, The reckless straddle, the wait on the age. The insolence of pat hands and the lifts 1 hat patient merit of the bluffer takes, By simply passing? Who would trays uphold, And go out on a small, progressive raise. But that the dread of something after call, The undiscovered ace-full, to whose strength Such hands must bow, puzzles the will 4nd makes us rather keep the chips we have Than be curious about hands we know not of? I hus bluffing doth make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of a four-heart flush Is sicklied with some dark and cussed club, And speculators in a jack-pot's wealth, With this regard, their interest turn away And loss the light to open. "Albany Argus. Now Lodges. A special deputy has been appointed by the Grand Master of the Arizona Lode of I. O. O. F. to instal a new .lodge of this order it Kingman. This lodge will be No. 7, and will start out with a membership of fifty. Three ether new lodges of this order will be instituted in Arizona within the next (cw months, making ten lodges in the Territary, This benevolent order is rapidly growing in public favor throughout the civilized world, and is well deserving of the high esteem in which it is held by the public, The Quijotoa camp is again cemmeo ing to loom up. The Locomotive devel opments show a true fissure and rich in precious metals. One curious feature is the uniformity of gold in the ore, which runsfrgm $3 to $15 per ton, from the surface to the three hundsed faot-level.
