MINERAL PARK, DECEMBER 10, 1882.
It is high time that something was
done to put a stop to the selling of
liquor to Indians in this county, and
more particularly in this town. It is
getting to be a regular thing to see
half a dozen or more drunken Indians
of both sexes on our streets every few
nights and sometimes even in the
daytime,sOi'much so thatladiesjare even
afraid to go out on our streets alone
after dark on that account, and yet
we claim to be living in a civilized
and law-abiding community and per
mit this state of affairs to exist. The
law against selling liquor to Indians
is certainly good enough and strin
gent enough to effectually stop this
evil were it properly enforced, but
the officers whose duty it is to see
that the laws are properly enforced
claim that this one is rendered in
operative'in this town because a jury
fiuio? be got together who will con
ricf -.df this offense even when the
proof is most positive. This is cer
tainly a most disgraceful state of af
fairs and should be ended at once.
It looks very mucli as though at leust
'ne man out of every twelxe in .llii.s
community i-ncong-agrocLin thisnofa
Frious business, for in our recollection
of the jury trials had in the past two
Ipr three years it has always been one
t two men who have hung a Jury
md refused to convict. Only laei
fapais with some of his booh'1 com
panions Jn the tribe got on a high
3ld time and broke into an empty
'cabin, smashed the windows, fired
bHoEs through the roof etc., and then
came up town threatening to clean
out the whites, and yet nothing has
been done about it m r over is in
similar cases unless the citizens take
-the law in their own hands nor do
re expect that anything will be done
Lin the premises until three or four
rhite men get killed in some of these
inken sprees, for there are a cer
tain class of white men who seem to
fertile company of Indians to that
"men, and especially when
ley get drunk; and it is through this
lass of men that the Indians procure
leir whiskey outside of two or
three who make a living by it, and
rbose names arc? very well known to
us, and on whom we propose to have
I a watch set night and day, and do
aU in our power to brljng to justice.
Lin addition to these, white men whom
sfe kaow, in common with every one
lse iu town, all the Chinamen here
re engaged in the business of selling
Squor to Indians, and also in dealing
etc., without license whenever
irudians have money enough to
Ht worth their while. But we
lQ, beleive in prosecuting China
lnohd letting white men go free
a we propose first to try and
kmate too hot for white
pmen who are guilty of this offense,
and to turn our attention to China
jnen and Indiana next.
The initial number of a new weekly
paper, called the Mohave County
Miner published by Anson H. Smith
and Co. at Mineral Park, came to
hand this morning. Typqg
graphically, it makes a fine
appearance, and the reading matter
is good. "While republican in politics
and devoting its influence to the
good of the party, it will be es
pecially devoted to the local mining,
agricultural and grazing interests of
that countj It took the paper, four
teen days to reach this office, owing
to lack of postal facilities. Since the
nret day of July, says the Miner,
Mohave county has been without any
mail facilities whatever. This should
be remedied by the postmaster-general
at once. Tombstone Eepubli

NEW ASSAY OFFICF.
Otto F. Kuencer informs us that
he has rented the assay office belong
ing to the Concentrator, and that
after next Wednesday he will be pre
pared to do all branches of assaying
at reasonable rates. Mr. Kuencer's
reputation as an assayer is too well
known in this community to need
any commendation from us and we
advise everyone having any assaying
to do to patronise one who has lived
here for years instead of sending off
to Prescott and elsewhere. Mr. Kuen
cer's advertisement will appear in
our next issue.
