"MiMNG WoS'r Par is the stcrcotyped phrase of old Money Bags. when some poor miner offers him "big interest" in his yalu- able claim for little of bis surplus cash to help develop it. It won't, eh! Just glance at the following. and see what one rich claim out of hundreds upon this coast, has paid;
 The savage Mining Company have deIared a dividend of fifteen dollars per share .three bun- dred dollars per fooU The company has pad one million five hundred and sixty thousand dol- lars in dividends in the past year
 What do you say to that old Brick Block 7 We think we hear you grumble out, "Humph that is only one claim; all others are bilks.' But here you are mistaken, Mir. GrabalL There are many more as rich claims as the Savage in the States and Territories of the Pacific, that can readily be made to yield fully as much as the Savage. Of course, if you make a venture you must do SO intelli- gently. l. will not do to entrust your money to gent who knows no more about mining than Thad Stevens knows about forgiveness. If you do you will surely gs' impeached. Here in Arizona there are scores of mines rich enough to pay we'll yet for lack of means to work them, they are useless Co Us or any body else. and yet no monied man can be in- duced to take hold of them. If they were in Mexico. san Francisco and New York cap italists would gobblo them up, but as they are in Arizona, nobody cares for them. What short-siphtedness. We venture to assert that nowhere in the wide world can there be found a better paying mine than the Vulture, tt Wickenburg, in this county and Territory. yet but for the genius and perseverance of its owners; the practical knowledge, business qualifications and unhaggiug energy of i'- Superintendents the lizards would. to-day. b, playing on is croppinSs. Whenever San Francisco capitalists turn their attention thi. way, purchase and work our mines, then may We and they look for good times, with line. Of steamships and railroads from san Fran cisco to this Territory. Arizona is, beyond doubt, the richest in minerals of all the Ter ritories, and cantains abundance of water timber etc, with which to work them A stages now run from California into the hear of the Territory we hope ere long, to set oleaginous San Franciscans come among us take peep at the country, and we know they will be satisfied. Donot allow terror o our Indians to keep you away. The Apache ! are more terrible in Frisco than they are here ] True, people get killed here by Apaches but | people also lose their lives in and around Sal Francisco by being burned to death, fallin
 into the bay through man-traps and rotte ! gang-planks.

RADICAL DocrRiNE.-Whcn an eN.conicd- crate pronounccs in favor of Jacobinism. tue Radicals rat him on the back, and call him pct names such for instance, as "Pretty boy with the elass.eye;' tell him he is loyal, pat riotic, and all that sort of thing, but when honest, brave ex-coniedorates like Buckner. Forest and others. who are no, dasiards enough to belle their manhood and ior-wcar the principles cnunciated by Washington, Henry. Adams, and other ancient rebels, the Radical sorcerers howl "treason' and "rebel' in their ears in order to scare them into their ranks. The uincompoops ought to know better. Grant and his army did not succeed in scar ing Lee and his army. they merely "worc them out" old time SecessiOnists like Joe Brown, of Georgia, Brownlow, of Tennessee, and others whom we might name, are tho ones that scare most easily into the Radical ranks; they were always di,unionists and arc hail fellows well met with their northern pro totypes and oo-workers.

Mining

X RICH GoLD MINE.--The Conquest g mine, which is situate about five miles north west of La Paz, Yuma county, this Territory, Is one of the richest and best developed mines in Arizona. Its owner, Manuel Rayena, has spent a great deal of money in having it thoroughly prospected, and be is now well satisfied of its richness and permanency. To give an idea of the amount of labor that has been performed on this mine during the last four years, it is necessary to state the fact that eighteen shafts of from ten to seventy feet in depth, each, have been sunk upon the lode, at different points inside the length of the claim, 1900 feet, and in all of those shafts the lode has been struck, thus proving it to be true vein. The width of the vein aver ages from to 2l feet; the rock is decom- posed and is very rich in free, fine gold. A mill will soon be erected, 10 work the ore from this ledge, and we learn that Mr. Ra- yeua has disposed of his business at La Paz and leased his house, so as 10 be able to de vote his whole attention to the working of the Conquest

LATE EASTERN NEws.--We cOndense the following from despatches published in the San Francisco papers:
 John A. Griswold received the Republican nomination for Governor of New York, at Syracuse, on the sth ut, over Horace Greedy, and other candidates Poor Horace . Gen. Canby has issued an order restoring civil rule in North Carolina, but we opine, that civil law will not be restored until after the Presidential election. Ground was broken for the Allan tic and Pacific Railroad, at Springfield, Mis- souri, July 7th. Work is being pushed for ward. This road, it is said, is to connect. at Albuquerque, New Mexico, with the main trunk of the 35th Parellel Railroad, the route of which passes through this Teritory.- The Mikado of Japan has expressed himself friendly to foreign powers Sensible fellow = On the 9th ult., the conglomerate Legislature of Louisiana elected 10 the U. S. Senate Vim. Pitt Kellogg, for the long term, and John Harris, for the short term The despatch says nothing about the political complexion of the elect, but judging from the compost ton Of the men who elected them, the new fangled "Senators" must be as black as the old pit of --. Well, the "world moves :'' ivory has "riz," and the Ethiopian is acting king in the cotton States, for short season.

EASTERN MIL.-0ne great drawback to the development and prosperity of Northern Arizona is the want of mail communication with New Mexico, Colorado and the Atlantic States, ria the 35th parallel route, tke best and shortest mail and railroad route across the continent, and we hope the Department will as soon as possible, place service upon this route. T. is of as much importance to the people of New Mexico and Colorado that mail communication shonld be speedily opened between the three Territories, as it is to our people, and We hope they will give us their aid in securing it. The service upon the 32d parallel route, riq Tucson, has not been per formed with any degree of regularity, but even if it were, it would not meet the de- mands of the people of Northern Arizona, the great bulk of whom live one hundred miles north of that route. The necessities of the country demand the opening up of this route.

CHANGE.-Our readers will not fail to per ceiye the change made by us this week in the main and editorial headings of the MISEn, which, we think, make decided improve ment in the looks of the sheet. The type of the old main heading was too large, heavy and ''fat-faced," " and will be more at home in the body of a poster than at the head of a newspaper. The type of the present heading is yet too "black" to suit our taste, exactly, but it Is the best we could do with the ma terial now on hand. The gingerbread head ing that formerly ornamented @ the edito- rial page, with the vague and indefinite motto "The gold of that land is good, needed rest and we have placed them in position where they can have it. The motto was never ours it was selected out of the Bible, we believe by that ''trooIy Christian gentleman" Rich. ard C. Mccormick, the former editor of thi: paper, for the reason, VIC suppose, that it like himself, was not tied down to any land and might be used by him wherever he went Well, he can have it. Newspaper notices ar, being generally disoarded a paper need something else besides immense headings and meaningless notices to live in the estimation of the public. Hoping our readers will b, pleased with the changes made, we "close un der hOse headings"

IS A DEsPoNDEsT MooD.-It is said that Charles Francis Adams, late U. 5. Minister to the Court of St. James, feels Respondent over the affairs of our country. He expresses re- gret at the revolutionary attitude of the Re publican party, and thinks that, unless lief fersonian principles become once more the principles of government and people, the Re public is lost, and he but adds the weight of his opinion to the belief of the purest patriots in his party.

A "coLoRrD" woman of Washington city, has brought suit against a railroad company to recover damages for being, as she asserts, forcibly elected from their street cars. The Senate committee on the District of Colum- bia have taken her case in hand, and, will no doubt, make it dear ejectment for the com pany. Senator Sumner will not allow such things to be and ''o'ercome him like summer dream" if he can help it.
