Historic Tombstone Cellar Opened for First Time in...

By Samantha NicholasThe Tombstone News

For the first time in several years, an old cellar located under the Tombstone Visi-tors Center Building was re-opened when Public Works Employees were tearing up old boardwalk and replacing it with new boards.

According to Mayor Escapule, the last time the cellar was opened was in 2000 when they were re-placing the boardwalk. It is always neat to look back through the windows of the past and think about how our Pioneers of Tombstone sur-vived this harsh environment and was able to preserve their food and other items in root cellars such as this one,” said Escapule.

Escapule continued, “As I was growing up, my grandfa-ther always had root cellars at the Lucky Hills Ranch and at the Ranch off Escapule

Road, which are still both in existence. My great-great grandparents had a root cel-lar at the Trappman Ranch, which is the Monument Ranch today, and the con-tractors building the existing facility took into consider-ation the importance of a root cellar in the 1800’s and was able to preserve it and place a thick glass plate over the top so when you walk into the sa-

loon you can look down into the root cellar.”

The massive steel door cov-ering the entrance to the root cellar at the Visitors Center had been concealed under the boardwalk for years. City em-ployees pulled the door open with a backhoe, once open, city employees explored the cellar and then reclosed it.

Over the years since the 1880’s, the building has

housed numerous different things. The following article titled “Finest in the Terri-tory” was written by Rita Ackerman and published in the Tombstone Times. The Tombstone News gives the Tombstone Times credit for allowing us to re-print the article. The Nugget of De-cember 28, 1881 proudly de-scribed P. W. Smith & Co.’s new building on the south-west corner of Allen and Fourth Streets. Frank Walk-er whose name is on several early Tombstone buildings including the Cochise Coun-ty Courthouse designed it.

It stretched ninety feet along Allen Street and sev-enty feet down Fourth. The adobe walls were covered by cement plaster made to look like granite. The ceiling was sixteen feet high and the in-ner walls were lathed and plastered.

Cochise County Sheriff’s Office

On Tuesday April 30, 2019 at approximately 8:45 pm, a Cochise County Sheriff’s Deputy was travelling west-bound on Highway 90 east of Sierra Vista when a ve-hicle approached from the rear at a high rate of speed with his emergency f lashers on. The Deputy was forced to yield to the vehicle as it was travelling at exces-sive speeds before passing the Deputy and continuing towards Sierra Vista. The Deputy began following the vehicle in an attempt to conduct a traffic stop after observing the erratic driving behavior.

The Deputy had his emer-gency lights activated when the vehicle suddenly skidded into the parking lot of the Canyon Vista Medical Cen-ter and continued driving too fast for conditions before coming to a stop at the emer-gency room entrance.

The Deputy exited his ve-hicle at the time the driver of the other vehicle exited and began making erratic movements. The Deputy ap-proached the driver of the vehicle who had thrown himself on the ground and advised him to stop moving. The Deputy continued situ-ational control over the scene pending other units arrival for backup.

Additional law enforce-ment units arrived on scene and discovered that the ve-hicle did not have any other occupants or weapons, and

the driver was interviewed about the situation. The driv-er, 34 year old Victor Manuel Perez Jr of Douglas, had a prescription pill container in his pocket that belonged to a family member and advised that he was not suffering a medical emergency rather he just wanted to tell the staff at the hospital how much he appreciated them for helping with a previous medical con-dition.

Mr. Perez apologized for not stopping when he saw the Deputy following him, and he continued to make addi-tional statements regarding what his intentions were once he left the hospital. The Dep-uty confirmed that Perez was travelling close to or in excess of 100 miles per hour dur-ing the incident. During this time, a citizen made contact with personnel on the scene and advised that Perez had forced him off the road near the San Pedro River and he felt his life was in danger. The citizen requested to be a vic-tim in this incident and Mr. Perez was taken into custody for reckless driving, unlawful flight from law enforcement, and endangerment.

I am sitting at the classic diner counter at T. Miller’s Mercantile, across from the Bird Cage Theatre at Sixth and Allen. Terrie Hauer, draped with bullet-filled ban-doliers, serves my plate of three soft-shell street tacos. To die for, luckily not liter-ally, as the diner is decorated in Mexican Revolution style with historic photos of vari-ous Insurrectos and Insur-gentes, and of their women who lived here back when. With the colorful decor all around, I feel like the eagle on the bright Mexican flag as I eagerly pick up the first taco and take a bite. Pork, and it is so good! And then the second and third tacos, I’d asked for both to be chick-en, equally delicious, with a choice of zesty red or milder green sauce. Everything is made fresh daily from local-ly-sourced ingredients, using an old ‘South of the Border’ recipe with special spices for

an authentic Sonoran flavor.“These are the best tacos

I’ve ever had!” exclaims a lady sitting near me. “Just like when we were in Hermosil-lo.” Wish I could reply, but since I’m enjoying the side orders of rice and beans that come with the Three Street Tacos special, all I can do is nod in agreement. They fill you up, and even though I’d like to emulate Wyatt Earp with one of T. Miller’s choice ice cream cones and a root beer, that will have to wait for another day. Along with a re-turn visit to sample their dif-ferent burritos or chips-and-salsa -- and they still offer their famous cheesy-potato and cheeseburger soups, and of course chili. And banana splits, and milkshakes, and -- new this year -- Huckleberry ice cream.

T. Miller’s Diner is a friendly place. Historic, too. Inexpensive, open daily from 11 AM to 5 PM, the Diner is located at 530 E. Allen Street. ¡muy perfecto! for lunch or an early dinner. Recommended!

Cross-border commerce is

vital to Arizona’s economy and families. Between 2015 and 2017, Arizona exported on average, $10.5 billion an-nually in goods to our neigh-bors to the north and south.

More than 228,000 Arizona jobs exist today because of trade with Mexico and Can-ada, and there is significant potential for our economy and jobs to grow even more.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) desperately needed to be modernized and strength-

ened to put American workers first. The Trump Adminis-tration worked hard to ne-gotiate and reach a deal that brought our trade policies into the 21st Century. Under this new proposal, called the United States-Mexico-Can-ada Agreement (USMCA), Arizona has the opportunity to improve and increase its strong economic relationships with our neighbors and create more jobs for Arizonans.

Cochise County Sheriff’s Office Arrests Reckless Driver

By Samantha NicholasThe Tombstone News

At the end of April, the City of Tombstone was is-sued a Certificate of Autho-rization from the Federal Aviation Administration to expand its drone program, becoming the first gov-ernment entity in Cochise County to do so.

According to Tombstone Marshal Robert Randall, this Certificate gives the Marshal’s Office, Fire De-partment, and Public Works

Department the ability to f ly a drone at a moments notice, day or night, for a variety of operations, including but not limited to: search and rescue, firefighting, utility inspections, accident scene reconstruction, warrant ser-vice, and many other appli-cations. This can save Depu-ties, Firefighters and Public Works employees’ time and effort when they are work-ing. The Certificate also gives the City the ability to certify its own pilots for offi-cial business, creating a sav-

ings of over $150 per pilot every two years.

Tombstone Deputy Sean Greene recently received his license and certification to fly the drone. “Within the next couple of weeks, Greene will be arranging a training course for other deputies and city employees who want to be certified to f ly the drone,” said Marshal Randall.

The Tombstone Marshals Office purchased a drone last year and have used it a couple of times for depart-ment missions.

“Last year, there were two incidents that occurred that made me feel that a drone would be a benefit to the City of Tombstone, the first was when Border Pa-trol and other law enforce-ment agencies were chas-ing undocumented aliens that had bailed out on Toughnut Street and scat-tered throughout the neigh-borhood. If we would have had a drone at that time, we could of apprehended these individuals in a more timely fashion, however,

law enforcement agencies did apprehend the UDA’s before the end of the day. The second incident was when we had public works employees walking tirelessly along the Huachuca water line searching for a leak and I felt at that time if we had a drone that could cov-er three miles at a time, it would be more cost efficient to public works in discover-ing leaking water lines. At that time, I authorized the marshals office to procure a drone that would fit our

needs,” said Mayor Dusty Escapule.

Escapule continued, “At the time, I didn’t realize we needed to have a FAA licensed individuals to oper-ate the drone and I am glad to see we have fulfilled the requirements of the FAA to utilize the drone legally.”

The City of Tombstone looks forward to being able to provide exceptional service to its citizens, and being able to assist other nearby agencies with their needs.

On Monday, April 29, 2019, after an internal audit and investigation, Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) detectives arrested 52-year-old Todd Whittard at his home in Chandler, AZ. Whittard was assigned to oversee the Latent Prints and Firearms Units within the AZDPS crime lab. Whittard was booked into the Mari-copa County 4th Avenue Jail on charges of theft, forgery, and fraudulent schemes and artifi ces.

In September 2018, AZDPS initiated a criminal investigation and internal au-

dit into Whittard, who was seen on multiple instances re-moving numerous rifl e maga-zines, ammunition, and other fi rearm accessories from the crime lab’s non-evidentiary storage facility.

Whittard would conceal the items either within his pocket or within a bag and take the items to his offi ce. On the day of his arrest, Whittard was observed in his offi ce with a canvas bag containing rifl e magazines and ammunition taken from the storage facil-ity. Whittard was later seen taking the bag from his offi ce to his truck and then leav-ing the AZDPS facility with them. Th e taken items were later found at Whittard’s home in his vehicle.

“Every employee with the Department is held to the highest standards and levels of public trust. Th is depart-ment will not accept any em-ployee’s breach of that trust and will take swift action to ensure those employees are dealt with appropriately,” said Colonel Frank Milstead.

Continued from last week

Dr. Simpson crawled for more than an hour through a crack of water-bored lime-stone. Th is crack ended in a fi ssure with a 20-foot drop. Th e fi rst bones were discov-ered at the bottom of this de-pression.

Quite naturally, we all wanted to see the spot, so climb down we did, 106 feet down a chimney-like fissure. My companions assured me this was the quickest and easiest method of getting to the spot we wished. I still don’t know whether it would be easier to crawl for an hour like Dr. Simpson, or dangle on a rope in dark nothingness. Either is quite an unusual experience.

As I waited my turn to go down the rope I noticed a name with the date 1812 carved on the rock above me. I examined the carved letters closely and found them to be filled with tiny crystals, which I assumed to be formed by moving water leaving deposits. Though I had no method of determin-ing whether the date was au-thentic, I am sure it had been there for a long time, pains-takingly carved by some long-forgotten cave wanderer.

I hesitantly slid slowly down the rope to the oth-ers waiting below me. As toy feet touched the cave f loor; they filed down a narrow passage. Practically alone in this chamber, I turned my light this way and that ex-

amining the walls of stone. Along these sheer walls I saw the claw marks described by Dr. Simpson. It was evident, even to my untrained eyes, that the super-cat had leaped high onto the walls enclosing him, in his futile attempts to escape.

For a moment I let my-self go back, in to the dis-tant past. In the gloom and fl ickering shadows, I could almost see the big cat fall in the darkness, and clawing and sliding his way down, at last land in the pit where I stood. His tail twitched angrily and his yellow eyes glared balefully as he ap-praised this pit within the bowels of the earth to which he had tumbled. Attempt after attempt he made to es-cape his prison, claws tear-ing and ripping at the solid stone walls. As at a distance, map). There were discovered about 1600 feet from the cave entrance.

Clear, partly superimposed prints of an animal traveling straight up the slope were found. The elevation here is about 30 feet. No ray of light penetrates anywhere in the cave except within a very few feet of the entrance. At this spot (“A”) the darkness was absolute.

Th e prints were found in a deposit of clay and sand of a brick red color. They were very clear and distinct as if they had been made recently, rather than 50,000 or more years ago.

Dr. Simpson made a plas-ter east of these two pads, a fore foot and a hind foot; the latter measured 6 inch-

es by 4-1/2 inches. Further proof that this was a giant jaguar was established when the footprints were matched with those of a South Amer-ican jaguar in the New York zoo. The prints matched in every detail except in size.

Th e discovery of this gi-ant, extinct animal com-pletely changed the history of animal life in the Americas. It appeared conclusive that when the Isthmus of Panama arose and joined the conti-nents of North and South America, many North Amer-ican animals, llamas, tapirs, (fossil remains of these have been found not far from the cave), peccaries and jaguars migrated to South America. Th ey are now extinct on this continent, but have survived the changing world in South America. Th e bones and foot pads in Craighead Caverns go far to prove this theory.

We clambered up the fi s-sure to the main passage again. From there we moved to the lower levels passing several giant stalactites, pos-sibly measuring 3 feet in di-ameter and several feet in height. Beautiful white fl ow rock was plentiful along our route also.

At the deepest level of the cave (approximately 250 feet), we came to the lake. Th e water was perfectly clear. Th is un-derground lake measures 700 feet by 200 feet and reaches a depth of at least 65 feet. No signs of life were seen in the water though rumors tell of fi sh without eyes that dwell in the lake. If this be true or not, we could neither prove or disprove it.

Once we took the wrong turn “and came to a blind end.

Margaret Hilda Th atcher was a British stateswoman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and the fi rst woman to hold that offi ce. A Soviet journalist dubbed her “Th e ‘Iron Lady’”, a nickname that became as-sociated with her uncompro-mising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies known as Th atcherism.

She studied chemistry at Somerville College, Oxford, and worked briefl y as a re-search chemist, before be-coming a barrister. Th atcher was elected Member of Par-liament for Finchley in 1959.

Party leadership election to become Leader of the Op-position, the fi rst woman to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became Prime Minister af-ter winning the 1979 general election.

Th atcher introduced a se-ries of economic policies in-tended to reverse high un-employment and Britain’s struggles in the wake of the Winter of Discontent and an ongoing recession. Her political philosophy and eco-nomic policies emphasized deregulation (particularly of the fi nancial sector), fl exible labor markets, the privatiza-tion of state-owned compa-nies, and reducing the power and infl uence of trade unions. Th atcher’s popularity in her fi rst years in offi ce waned amid recession and rising unemployment, until victory in the 1982 Falklands War and the recovering economy brought a resurgence of sup-port, resulting in her deci-sive re-election in 1983. She survived an assassination at-tempt in the Brighton hotel bombing in 1984.

Th atcher was re-elected for a third term in 1987, but her subsequent support for the Community Charge (“poll tax”) was widely unpopular, and her views on the Euro-pean Community were not shared by others in her Cabi-net. She resigned as Prime Minister and party leader in

November 1990, after Mi-chael Heseltine launched a challenge to her leader-ship. After retiring from the Commons in 1992, she was given a life peerage as Baron-ess Th atcher (of Kesteven in the County of Lincolnshire) which entitled her to sit in the House of Lords. In 2013, she died of a stroke in Lon-don at the age of 87.

Always a controversial fi g-ure, she is nonetheless viewed favorably in historical rank-ings of British prime minis-ters, and her tenure consti-tuted a realignment towards neoliberal policies in the United Kingdom; despite the passage of time, debate over the complicated legacy of Th atcherism persists.

With vertical-display In-fl uencer videos taking over the world on Instagram and Tik-Tok, Samsung is intro-ducing the Sero, a $16,000 43-inch TV that can be paired with your cell phone and fl ip 90° on its stand to a vertical position. However, Infl uencers are far less a con-cern these days than Regula-tors. Regulators are, well, all of us. Posting our comments about companies on Trip Ad-visor or Yelp, with the motel or restaurant owner living in fear of a bad review that they have no power whatsoever to counter or undo. Regulators – again, many of us – also post criticisms of others, of-ten anonymously, on social media like Facebook. Plenty of that going on.

In a digital world, we are moving into a “reputa-tion economy.” Our personal Brands – carefully nurtured so as to present ourselves as helpful and non-threaten-ing – tend to only make us more similar and indistinct. Th e branding culture insists that everybody has to live ac-cording to the same rules and regulations, and our unique characteristics that make us human are discarded. To be accepted, you have to follow the new morality code where everything has to be liked and everybody has to be re-spected. If you hold negative or unpopular opinions, you will be shut out of the digi-tal conversation. You will be shunned if you are not part of the herd.

Upside is that all this opens the door to a new and high-ly profi table business arena – “reputation management.” New fi rms like Reputation-Defender® will “Bury nega-

tive content, promote what’s positive, and protect from online attacks.” For a lot of money, they will help us be-come good but dull corporate conformists, whitewashing our imperfections in order to both sell and buy things at an advantage over others. And the people most in need of reputation management – desperate for it, in fact – are the most afraid of losing their only valuable asset – their reputation – as they have few tangible salable skills. Th e young Infl uencers and older media commentators, hav-ing only their digital selves to present to a fi ckle market-place, may be the forerunners of a branding future for ev-erybody else.

But not in Tombstone. People here don’t seem to care much what others think of us. We certainly don’t care enough to try to change our variously fl awed personali-ties. Perhaps it’s because we live in a place where you can’t really be better than anybody else, no matter how hard you try. Th ere is no corporate im-perative here to be part of a homogenous group. You can’t go up the ladder, since there is no place to go to. No boss to suck up to, no lesser folks to look down on. No exclusive social groups to belong to, not in this little oasis so distinct from the outside world.

Tombstone is special. And luckily too insignifi cant, too far away from the big cities, for anyone out there to want to spend precious time and money trying to change us from “Th e Town Too Tough To Die” to “Th e Town Where Everybody Is Politically Cor-rect.” No, we are safe from the Regulators. For now, anyway.

Last week, Verizon an-nounced that Phoenix would be among the fi rst U.S. mar-kets to receive the company’s 5G Ultra Wideband net-work later this year. Phoe-nix was included on a list of 20 U.S. cities to receive this next-generation technology, which promises dramati-cally faster mobile speeds and could pave the way for advances in autonomous transportation, telemedicine, consumer applications and more.

In 2017, Governor Du-cey signed legislation making Arizona the fi rst state in the nation to streamline the de-ployment of 5G technology.

“Th is is exciting news,” said Governor Ducey. “Verizon’s

5G launch will strengthen Arizona’s wireless infrastruc-ture and help keep Arizona at the forefront of technologi-cal innovation. Arizona was proud to be the fi rst state to pass legislation laying out the welcome mat for 5G and we are glad to see Verizon choose our state for this big advance-ment.”

Background: Arizona be-came the fi rst state in the na-tion to pave the way for 5G technology. H.B. 2365, in-troduced by Representative Jeff Weninger and signed in March 2017, streamlines local and state regulations related to wireless infrastructure, making it easier to deploy this groundbreaking technol-ogy faster.

Verizon Chooses Phoenix For 5G Broadband Rollout

BORDER from Pg. 1

Congress needs to ratify this agreement and should do so rapidly in with bipartisan support.

One area of cross-border trade that benefi ts Arizona workers and families is the importation of fresh fruits and vegetables. Much of this fresh produce is distributed throughout the U.S. by lo-gistical companies based in Nogales that employ about one-quarter of wage-earners in Santa Cruz County. Th is type of commerce allows families to enjoy aff ordable fresh fruits and vegetables year-round with fair rules de-signed not to hurt farmers in the U.S.

Back in 1990s, Mexico was “dumping” tomatoes into the U.S. market at unfairly low prices, so the Clinton administration negotiated something called the “To-mato Suspension Agreement” to prohibit that practice and protect U.S. farmers. For the last 23 years, this agreement has been working and was good for Arizona, support-ing logistical jobs here while keeping tomatoes aff ordable year-round.

Unfortunately, the Depart-ment of Commerce recently announced a decision to ter-minate the Tomato Suspen-

sion Agreement and it is set to expire on May 7th. At that point, they intend to apply steep tariff s on all Mexican tomatoes that end up in our grocery stores and on our dinner tables.

Without this Tomato Sus-pension Agreement, Arizo-na’s economy, jobs, and to-mato prices are at risk. Once the tariff s kick in, the cost of tomatoes for consumers could be raised 40 to 85 percent or more, according to a recent Arizona State University study.

I strongly oppose the Ad-ministration’s move to end the Tomato Suspension Agree-ment and have clearly ex-pressed my opposition to the Secretary of Commerce. Th e price of tomatoes for families at the grocery store will in-crease—perhaps as much as $4.50 a pound for tomatoes on the vine, according to the ASU analysis.

I am pressing the De-partment of Commerce for a new tomato agreement that protects Arizona jobs and hardworking families. And I call on both par-ties to join together to urgently pass USMCA so we can modernize NAF-TA and benefi t Ameri-cans. Arizona’s economy, workers, and families are depending on it.

CELLAR from Pg. 1A large cellar measuring 35

x 40 feet was lined on three sides with solid masonry and a ceiling of nine feet. It would be used to store liquors and perishable goods for the Pio-neer Store which would take up most of the space on the ground floor.

A part of the building was separated for the use of the local branch of the Agency Pima County Bank of Tuc-son. Its portion fronted twen-ty feet on Allen and forty-seven feet on Fourth making use of the prime corner of the building. A twelve-foot door-way included double doors sat at an angle across the corner. Prior to this the bags bank employees from Tucson came to town with bags of money for payroll and other banking needs.

Counters and desks were made of black walnut and mahogany “beautifully fur-nished.” The counter was built by John Bruce of San Francisco and hailed as the “finest in the Territory.”

Even the vault was care-fully described as being the same as the Farmers and Merchants’ Bank of Los An-geles. It was claimed to be burglar and fireproof; steel-lined, with iron netting and furnished with triple doors, two combinations and a time lock. This same vault was sold to L. Goldwater of Benson in June 1891. It weighed 6,000 pounds and “took consider-able ingenuity to get it on a wagon.” (Epitaph, June 28,

1891). Manager Heyman Solomon’s office was behind the lobby and was 10 x 12 feet and the director’s room was 12 x 19. Both were hand-somely and comfortably fur-nished.

Solomon felt the future of Tombstone was sound and a local bank of its own would improve the quality of ser-vice. In February he joined with Philip William Smith, Eliphalet Butler Gage, Lio-nel M. Jacobs and Baron M. Jacobs to incorporate the Cochise County Bank. It opened in the same location in early May. In 1890 the build-ing was refitted for the Bank Of Tombstone. The Bank of Tombstone was reorganized as the Tombstone Bank due to changes in tax laws passed by the legislature in 1893. Tombstone was in decline.

Since this time, the build-ing was once the Tombstone Hospital, closing in the early 1960’s, there has also been a few clinics set up in the building since the clos-ing of the hospital. Mayor Dusty Escapule worked for the Cochise County Sheriffs Office in the 1970’s and had his district office set up in the building. At one point, Helldorado Inc. moved into the building and set up offic-es. The building has belonged to the City of Tombstone for numerous years and has since been remodeled and serves as the Tombstone Visitors Cen-ter, Tombstone Art Gallery and Tombstone Chamber of Commerce.
