The Los Angeles Express has
just celebrated the 23th anniver
sary of its birth. It is one of the
oldest papers on the Coast and the
only one in Los Angeles th.it ad
vocates the free an 1 unlimited
coinage of silver. May it live long
and prosper with age.

nondescript substance, supposed to

they are of no practical use to any

At Phoenix Saturday morning
Gen. Clark Churchill died of fatty
degeneration of the heart. His
death was sudden but not unex
pected. Gen. Churchill was well
and favorably known throughout
Arizona. He came here in 1877
and was prominently identified
politically, financially and socially
with the best interests of the Ter
ritory. He -was for a number of
years its Attorney-General.
Ix a mild and inoffensive man
ner we would respectfully call the
attention of the Phoenix Republican
to the fact that tile Yuma Times is
not in existence. This paragraph
is called forth by the action of the
first mentioned paper in clipping
our news items and crediting them
to the Times. In onr last issue we
had a few lines about our new ice
volant and this we notice has been
accorded the usual fate.
The Videtle was in error yester
day in its conclusions that our wor
thy townsman, D. C. Reed, had
switched off from San Diego to Los
Angeles on the railroad question,
Mr. Reed says that he never would
aid any trans continental railroad
that did not make San Diego its ob
jective point. He is still in harness
for San Diego, first, last, and all the
time. His shiboleth is still, "on to
Yuma." Man Dicjo Vidette.
We' have received from the pub
lishers, tire Zeno Mauvais Music
Co., of 7G0 Market street, S. F., a
copy of the new two-step march.
"The New Bully' arranged from
the popular song of Unit name. It
is showy and brilliant, and not.
very difficult the theme being dis
tinctly brought out and embellish
ed. It is bjing played everywhere
hy bands and orchestras, and lun,
though a new composition, already
won a wide popularity. This march
will bs a welcome addition to. the
jiiusical library, as it is not at all
commonplace. Your dealer will
supply it. 40 cents a copy.
Whatsoever to the contrary may
be paid the West remains the young
man's haven. That he may find
himself, confronted by the ogre of
hardship is true but it is only by
undergoing the crucible test that
gold heconns of commercial value.
Garfield said: "Pitch a boy
overboard; let. him sink or swim
for himself. I never knew one to
sink who was worth the saving."
Just so it is with the West; for him
who ha? not the strength to fight
down temptation and overcome
imidship it has noplace. For him
who is thus able ityet remains the
golden land. Thelorests, the plains
and the mountains have been
pioneered but with few exceptions
the advantages of fifty years ago
do yet exist. The men who found
the Comstocks took away it gold.
The buffaloes are gone, the cowboy
days are over and the stage coach
no longer rumbles over mountain
trails. But there are opportunities
other than those. No one can sav

WlUl :lI13f authority Hint the Coill-
stocks are all gone. The hills of
the .Southwest are not half pros
pected and no one knows but what
there may be hills upon hills of
gold. If the cowboy is gone there
i something ele to dofor the logic
of Industrial economy does not per
mit the atrophy of one pursuit
without supplying a substitute.
If the express messenger and stage
coach days are over the railroad is
here.
Snreh every sensible man must
rocognize that all this inveighing
against the West is nonsense.
Here are railroads to ha built, irri
gation system to construct, mines
to work farms and orchards to be
cultivated and cities to build. Here
in the Southwest are the last of the

nor, senators and congressmen must
come from here- Is this true of
any other section? Assuredly not.
Then the young men who expect to
acctimnlatii fortune in fields afresh
and par-tures new must seek us out.
And because of the very hard
ships spoken of above the West
needs young men. The old one.
are not able to do their own fight

strain, green lumber bends.
To the strong, brainy, noble
youngster the West will nive posi

metal, brawn and boundless
ambition and he need not fear but
that the golden West will cheerfully
accord him any place he may

For others there is no room.
This is the land of individual free
dom and individual effort. For
the drones we have neither meat,
bread nor a place to sleep To
succeed you must help yourself and
behaving thus there is not a man
in all of our 40U.000 square miles
who will see you perish by the way
side.
You must prove your worth,
though. You must "do with your
might what your hands find to
do."
A CONTRAST.
''You may not receive this note for
several days for we have had a twelve
inch snow; the cars are snow-bound
and communication cut ofT." A
private letter from Denver received at the
Sextinel office this week."
What a contrast!
There men and women, bundled
in furs and great coats, arc hurry
ing over slippery, snow covered
pavements, splashing through the
dirty slush or huddled in street
cars whose windows are covered
with the congealed breath of a
chilled and shivering human mass.
Here the sun shines!
There the winter winds are howl
ing mournfully around the corners,
whistling in each crack and crevice
or wailing through the bare "thresh
ing arms of the leatless trees.
Here the balmy breezes that
float through the windows bear
upon their bosoms the perfumed
fragrance of the roses, the orange
bloom and the blossom of the green
umbrella tree amid whose' full
leaved branches the birds are build
ing their nests.
There are dreary dripping skies
and from the eaves of each mansion,
hut and building, the long icicles
are hanging as" though the very
roofs were weeping for the' summer
dead and gone.
Here the blue sky of heaven
stretches its grand cerulean arc
from the foot-hills of the Gilas to
the purple Cocopah and "ripe, ripe,
almost ripe," the robins in the fig
trees sing.
What a contrast?
Prescott is to have a Western
Union telegraph office and a big
reduction in telegraph rates--
In ld92 wiicn the late 0. Columbus
discovered this country he was con
tiilcrably surprised to find the natives
to be of a dark red color. He thought
they should be surprised at the sight
of a wiiite man. When he had learn
ed to talk their language he asked
them if they had ever seen a white
man helorc.. An old chief, says "Don
H. Kedzie in the Lordshurg Liberal,
Lold him that to the west 'across sea
and land many moon's travel, where
two mighty rivers met, at the spot
where tradition said the devil had
moulded the hinges of hell, in a vil
large known as You-May, dwelt a
white man named Dorriugton, peace
fully engaged in the publication of a
newspaper. Cortex, when he sacked
Montezuma's palace, found a file of
the-e papers, the Sextixel, in the
royal library. When Coronado reach
ed the Colorado lie found Dorringtnn
had the coui.ty printing grabbed. Ho
immediately started a new paper to
divide the patronage. Corcnado went
busted when lie printed the land of
fice notice for the original Peralta,
Baron of Arizona, and got beat out of
his pay. Dorrington bought in the
Coronado office at the sheriff's sale
and piled the outfit up m Ids back
yard. Since then governors, congress
men, judges, railroads, water com
panies and irriga ion companies have
started papers at the continence of the
Gila and the Colorado. JJorringion
has purchased them all from the
sheriff and piled them up in his back
yard. XoW a new candidate for fame
ami bankruptcy has appeared on the
scene in the person of a ret! headed
school director, who proposes to start
a new paper. This is too much fir
Dorrington. As red-he.ided school
director for a rival rival! Ugh ! The
worm has turned. The back yard is
filled. Dorrington now swears lie will
not help out another bankrupt pn.nt
shop. The sheriff' lias received tin;
1 ist bid fron 1dm. If another paper
is started it is at the peril of the
starter. He i- done.
TWO'S.
To our exchange tabic this week
there came two visitors. Two
brand new infants wrapped iifthej
swaddling clothes of journalism
and bearing the pitiful legend:
'Vol. I , No I."
Alas! How many brave fronts
have worn it. How many havrs
saliied out into the swirling stream
of crowded endeavor, with their
promises and mottoes ' painted on
their prow, feeling that there was a
place to fill and theirs the mission.
JJruv .hrjixftlj2rlulthy etrugglcr-vrrr-
til, bruised and bleeding by the
drift wood of ur.fortuitous circum
stances, they were sucked into the
voracious, insatiate maw of the
whirlpool of failure. It is not the
valedictorian to his college class
that builds the city for sometimes
the failing echo of the applause,
called forth by his graduating ad
dress, is his only funeral dirge.
Reminding it of the fact that the
binding is not always a correct
criterion of the volume's contents
we will pass over the mean, insinua
ting inuendoes leveled us and wish
The Yuma Advertiser a bon voyage.
"Fools rush in where angeles fear
to tread." Knowing how treach
erous the stream, we did what we
could to sta7 their 'prentice hand
but now the bont is launched it lies
not with us to stave it in .
And no less well do we wish The
Yuma Sun .
"Sin. F. S. Ketchuai our ener
getic and experienced mining friend
who last year bonded the Picacho
mines is again in town and at this
time it is well to state that the re
ports coming to us from that dis
trict fully indicate hie good judg
ment in securing them.
Far the past three or four months
Senator Dorsey and the Denver
Syndicate have been sinking shafts
on, and crus.i cutting the veins with
very flattering results which will
soon cause the erection of large
stamp mills.
The first payment for the mines
has been made and the representa
tions of the Syndicate seem well
pleased.
Yuma is Picacho's, natural base
of supplies and her quickening
pulse is already beatingin harmony
with the increased activity at the
mines. Let us welcome and en-
coura-- all good mining men who
help to bring our rich, hidden re
sources to the knowledge of the
commercial world.
The Sentinel acknowlcges the receipt
of. one of the most daintv and artistic
bits of railroad advertising that ever
appealed to the admiration of the
public is a little brochure, in colors
entitle I, "A California Fairy." which
ha- just been issued by the Suit hern
Pacific Company, ilhistratingin fanci
