WEDNESDAY, JUNE
Encourage the Prospector.
From the Shasta, Cal., Democrat.
The prospector, though poor
and sometimes ragged, is the
forerunner of capital and enter
prise. Jiy nis enorts now mines
and sources of wealth are discov
ered and brought to the notice of
men of means. Capital follows
him, and prosperity and a de
mand for labor ensue. Take the
history of the last three months as
an illustration of the benefits
arising from the labors of the
prospectors; see the number of
men brought into the county and
the thousands of dollars that
have been expended for supplies,
and what wo have seen so far is J
only a fraction of what we will
see in the future. By all means
the prospector should have a
chance, and nothing Bhould be
thrown in his way to hinder or
discourage hiin. He is not work
ing alone for himself, but for all I
of us, and through his efforts the
country will grow rich and pros
perous.
A Jolly Life.
An exchange dishes up the trials
and vexations of an editor's life in
the following style: Editing a
paper is nice business. If we bub
lish jokes people say we are rattle-headed.
If we omit jokes, they
say we are an old fossil. If we
publish original matter, they
cuss" us for not giving selections.
Folks say we are lazy for not
writing something we do not see
in other papers. If we give a man
a complimentary notice, we are
censured for being partial. If we
do not give complimentary no
tices, folks say we are a hog. If
we do not cater to the wishes of
the ladies the paper is not fit for a
bustle. If we remain in our office
to attend to our business, folks say
we are too proud to mingle with
our fellow men. If we go out they
say we never attend to our busi
ness. If we do not pay our bills
promptly they say we are not to
be trusted. If we pay promptly
they say we stole the money. If
we wear poor clothes folks say
business is dull. If we wear good
ones they say we are in the pay of
the railroad. Now, what shall
we do?
A Chinese Oath.
In a Mongol murder- case in
San Francisco the following oath
was administered to each of the
Chinese witnesses:
"This is to inform the spirits of
the gods, also the evil spirits and
the demons, all to descend here to
hear, oversee and examine into
the case of Wong Ah Foo, charged
with murdering Loi Ah Gow. If
I come hero to swear profanely
and tell the untruth, or not ac
cording to the facts of the case, I
humbly beg the celestial and ter
restial spirits to redress Loi Ah
Gow's grievance and to punish
the false witness immediately and
to arrest his soul. May he die
under a sword, or die on the half
way of the sea, and have no life to
return to China. This is the true
and the solemn declaration of
oath sworn by my wn mouth
and signed by my name by my
owned hand. Dated this day,
second month, in the eleventh
year of Quong Soi."
It is believed that all who take
this oath will testify truthfully, as
the Celestials believe that if they
should perjure themselves after
passing through the ceremony
they will die an everlasting death,
and that the gates of the Flowery
Kingdom will be forever closed
upon them.
A little over two years ago, not
withstanding the reiterated warn
ings given by the press of both
Territories, and the constant con
tradictions by the Indian and
army officials, the blood thirsty
Apaches left their reservation and
added about fifteen other murders
to the long list of unavenged
dead. Among their last victims
was Judge MsCoraas, wife and
child. That our government did
not at once avenge these peace
able, unoffending citizens was
simply outrageous; but to bring
these murderous brutes back un
shackled, unpunished, their hands
still reeking with the blood of
women and children, feed, clothe
and protect them until they are
ready to 6tart on another murder
ing raid, unhindered, proves to
the Indians at least the paternal
character of our government. The
indignities inflicted on that poor
woman, Mrs. McComas, demand
redress. That the Legislatures of
these Territories have met with
out a single voice being raised in
appeal for justice against these
brutes will cause the members to
be long remembered by the people.

The Arizona Journal says:
The Albuquerque Journal is not
at all pleased with the journalistic
talent of Arizona, and says that
there is not a paper published in
New Mexico which is not better
and which does not publish more
news than all the papers in Arizona
combined. The amateur of the
Journal should not allow himself
to be gulled and blinded by the
flattering notices he has received
from the press and allow his egot
ism to get the better of his usual
good sense. There is such a thing
in the exchange of newspaper
courtesies as "taffy," and to this is
probably due the importance the
Journal reporter sets upon himself.
There are men, sonny, connected
with the press of Arizona who
have reached positions in journal
istic history which will never be
attained by any of the Journal
staff or its confreres.
If you want to keep a town
from thriving don't erect any
more buildings than you can con
veniently occupy yourself. If you
should have an empty building,
and anyone should want to rent
it, ask three times the value of it.
Demand Shylock prices for every
foot of land that God has given
you stewardship over. Turn a
cold shoulder to every mechanic
and business man who seeks to
make a home with you. Look at
every new comer with a scowl.
Run down your workmen. Fail
to advertise and support your
home paper. Get your job print
ing done abroad. Wrap your
selves with a coat of impervious
selfishness. There is no better
way to kill your town. Prescott
Courier.
Wealthy New York capitalists
having organized themselves into
what is known as the "Aztec Land
and Cattle Company," have pur
chased of the Atlantic & Pacific
R. R. Company, 1,000,000 acres
of its land. Upon these lands
they are proposing to place a
very large lot of cattle. Already
a purchase of 35,000 head has been
made in Texas,at 17.50 per head,
excluding beeves and two-year-olds.
These cattle are to be driv
en to Albuquerque, from which
point they are to be shipped.
Their grazing ground is in Apache
county. Over 51,500,000 has been
invested already by this company
in laud and cattle.
The latest news of importance
from Alabama is that a . man
there has withdrawn from the
church because his preacher re
fused to take a drink with him.
This is encouraging. We've been
fretting a little of late about Ala
bama. They have been having
no duels, or vendettas, or cyclones
there recently, and it seems almost
possible that the State had got lost.
But this religious item is reassur
ing. Alabama is still there.
The Phoenix Gazette is authority
for the statement that Justice Hus
ton, of Vulture, had a case in his
court, the other day, and after the
trial the defendant became some
what abusive. The Justice at
tempted to allay his wrath, but
without avail, and at last became
indignant himself. He formally
adjourned court, and proceeded to
kick the offender from the room in
the highest style of the pugilistic
art.
Miss Julia Jackson, the only
child of the late Thomas J. (Stone
wall) Jackson, of Confederate
fame, will be married on June 3d
to Mr. William E. Christian, a
prominent grain merchant of
Richmond, Virginia. Miss Jack
son is twenty -three years old, and
Mr. Christian is twenty-seven.
The intended groom is. the son of
Rev. W. H Christian, a prominent
Methodist minister. .
It is said that the Wallapai
Indians have never been known to
steal horses, mules or cattle. Now
if some learned anthropologist can
devise a method of innoculating a
little Wallapai honesty into the
pale-faced civilization, he could
live on sugar-coated fame for the
balance of his earthly days.
Since the prohibition law has
been enforced in Kansas the drug
business has begun to pick up.
Ono druggist in Leavenworth re

A party of Indian hunters left

Official County Paper.
The Bible ax a I'roapector.
From the Arizona Miner;
H. H. White, who has been"
working on the Dunkirk mine for
sometime past, one Shnday,- while"
reading the Bible under the largo'
pines east of the mine about half
a mile, becoming absorbed in
thought, unconsciously dropped
the holy book in such a way that
it fell over a precipice about fifty
feet high. Descending into the"
canyon to recover it, Mr. White
found it lying upward, open at the
Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter
vii., while a large piece of rich
quartz, which had been dislodged
by its fall, lay on top, tearing a
jagged hole in the seventh verse,
so familiar to all Christians: "Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek,-
and ye shall find; knock, and it
shall be opened unto you." Ac
cepting this as a good omen, Mr.-
White searched, andj" in' a few
moments, succeeded in locating
the ledge,- which was over two feet
in width and assays S225,- on an
average, to the ton. The mine i3
considered the richest thing yet
struck in this district, and an offei4
of 5,000, made to the fortunate
owner of it, was declined
Before breathing his last, Tictof
Hugo informed his attendants that
he believed in ths existence of
God.
The rebel Riel is now called a1
crank. If he had succeeded, he
would have been a patriot and a
great genius.
It is alleged that the Maxwell,
and grant contained originally
80,000 acres, but a' resurvey dem
onstrated that it requires not less
than 170,000 acres to make a re
spectable sized grant. The claim
ants doubtless think it about time
to make another survey.
The Prescott Courier says: Thaf

the memory of the tax payers of
the Territory has been exemplified
by the filing for record with the
County Recorder of the location

trict Cowboys, although generally in
telligent, are not all college gradu

suppose. A Nevada cowboy re

tice: "If any man's or woman'ff

or hers' tale will be cut off, as ther
case may be."

Wordwell, of Tombstone, Arizona,

goes to present his claims for the
Marshalship of this Territory
The General would make a Mar

and we wish him every success hi

Eula Brown, of Courtney, Tex.j
is the youngest telegraph operator
in America possibly in the world
She is but little over 7 years of
age. Yet' there is hardly a duty
or detail of railroad telegraphy in
Texas that she is not thoroughly
familiar with. Her father has
been an operator for years, and
the little one has passed all, or
nearly all, her time in a telegraph
office since she first learned to
creep, one always had a fond
ness for tampering with the keys,
and she hardly learned the letters
of the alphabet before she also'
knew the telegraphic signs and
sounds for each. Before she had
learned to write plainly she
could send a message over the1
wires at a fair rate of speed, and
to-day she can send and take as
well as any of the average opera
tors of the country.
A large party of citizens from
Central City and Georgetown are
now searching ofi the east side of
theMogollon range for the Adams
diggings. Seldomayear has passed
but what parties have left in search
of these fabulously rich diggings.
One or two of the parties, it is
stated, have before visited the
section of country for which the
expedition is headed, and while
the genuine Adams diggings, of
which so much has been said and
so little is really known, may not
be in that particular part of the
world, free gold in considerable
quantity has boon fotiod there.
The latest information of the
Adams diggings comes from the
Navajo country. The natives
have found a lake from the bottom
of which they bring up large
chunks of free gold. The exact
location of the lake cannot be
ascertained. Silver City Enterprise,
