Among other things, the bill — SB 1070 — will enable law enforcement officers to detain anybody who is unable to prove lawful residence in the United States and requires police to make a "reasonable attempt" to determine immigration status on the fly.

New volunteers, a new schedule and lots of new events in the next few months are just some of the additions that the Chamber is implementing in hopes of bringing more visitors to Tombstone's only state park.

Among the changes is the switch to a seven-days-a-week schedule, instead of the five-day schedule that was implemented due to budget cuts.

Federally funded by the Highway Enhancement Fund, lighting and curb modifications are just a few of the interim improvements that the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and city of Tombstone are working on together.

Linda Ritter, ADOT's public relations officer, said no date has been set for when the changes will get under way.

"This is going to take some time," Ritter said, adding that all improvements are still in the pre-design stages, and that studies are still in progress to determine the cost of any enhancement projects.

Another concern of the city is whether or not any improvements made to the area will diminish Tombstone's historical look.

A document unearthed by officials sheds some light onto what really happened during the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, notably that Doc Holliday hid his gun.

Bisbee Courthouse clerks discovered a missing coroner's report from the inquest of the shootout last week while they were reorganizing documents in storage. The papers were last seen about 50 years ago, according to court officials.

The transcript, which presents the testimony of a Mrs. M. J. King, provides some interesting insight into the disposition of one of the lawmen, Doc Holliday.

"He had a gun under his coat. He had on a long coat. The way I noticed the gun was that his coat would blow open and he tried to keep it covered," she said.

"I heard (Wyatt Earp) say, 'Let them have it,' and Doc Holliday said, 'All right then,"' the report continues. Then, before King could retreat to the back of the shop she was in, shots rang out."

A new Tombstone has emerged and it shares many traits with the legendary Arizona town. They are both in the desert and feature men walking around with guns. While a lot of the guns carried around in old Tombstone are just for show, the weapons featured in the new Tombstone are anything but.

The soldiers at the Tombstone Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan are at war.
At first glance, Camp Tombstone, as it is referred to by its inhabitants, doesn't appear all that different from any other military base in Afghanistan, except for the name. Most other American bases are named after fallen soldiers or the first units deployed to the area – not after famed Wild West towns.

The burglary occurred March 26 around 7:30 p.m. at 76-year-old Patricia Forrest's residence. According to police reports, Forrest received a phone call from a woman under the guise of a firefighter, who informed her of a reported gas leak in the area.

The participation rate for the town in the ongoing Census is already at an astounding 83 percent - putting Tombstone ahead of both national and state levels. Cochise County and the surrounding five counties all have rates ranging between 50 and 70 percent, putting them on par with the national rate of 66 percent.

Officials with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) have met with town representatives to change the town's primary highway to protect pedestrians but still preserve Tombstone's historic integrity.
