IT, CargilI private secretary of the Governor. arrived in Prescott Saturday morning last. from Tucson and the guests of Levi Bashford. of this place As all but ono of these gentlemen are strangers 10 our people, they having resided in the Terri. tory but short time. we will give short uen pictures of them. The Governor is little, but that little is, we judge, composed of the right sort of material He Is as full of vim as an egg is of meat and will do his utmost to place the Territory in peaceful prosperous condition. He is an illnoisan by birth emigrated to Cali fornia In '52; crossed the sierras to Nevada in '69; engaged in mining and fighting Indians there; was appointed Surveyor-General which position he held and filled with ability until Nevada became State. He is an intelligent devoted miner, lovs the mountainr. and. of course, has fallen dead in love with our section and its rich mines. We need scarcely say that our people are pleased with our new Gov.
