The weekly Arizona miner., 1870-09-03
Change of Managers,

As may be seen by a notice in another col- ] umn, J. II. Marion, Editor and Proprietor of the MISER has gone on bis travels, expecting to be absent some five or six weeks, and while he has put his financial affairs into the hands of Messrs. Wells & Weaver, he has turned the sanctum and editorial chair, with the peculiar privileges, perplexities and per quisites connected herewith, over to a cer tain Federal official, whom be expects, with such aid as be may receive from other pub. fumes, to provide the usual amount of reading matter for the patrons of the MINER.
 As the political views of the editor pro- tem are entirely different from those enter tained by lTr. Marion, it is considered adyis- able to state here, that the subscribers and exchanges of the MINER must be content to miss from its columns the pleasant Brick Pomeroy style of joking which the proprietor indulges in when commenting on the acts of Congress, the Grant Administration, the la- bors of our Delegate in Congress, and the deeds of the Government officers in the Ter ritory. These shall all enjoy a season of rest They shall not be praised evea for the good deeds they have done, as that course would hurt the feelings of the proprietor, nor shall they be censured for any short -comings which may come to light during his absence, for he will give them enough of that on his return.
 Our Territorial election is to be held No vember Sth A Delegate to Congress is to be elected, Members of the Legislature Sherifis, County Recorders and other officers. We shall endeavor to run the MINER as an inde- pendent paper; that is, no person shall be favored for any office solely on account of his connection with the Democratic or Republi- can parties. In fact, the present editor is ready to support the claims of any good man to office-for a consideTation--and, of course the larger the consideration the stronger shall be our advocacy of such claims. Thi' we consider the correct course for an inde pendent paper.
 Having experienced the inyigoratng effects of the climate of Central Arizona during term of years commencing before the exis tence of the MINER, we shall reiterate tn oft-repeated assertions made in its column that we have the best climate in the world With no other hope of realizing the modes sum which is our idea of competency, thal in the sale of feet in our locations on tn quartz lodes of the Sierra Prieta, we boldl declare our belief that the natural modest of Mir. Marion has prevented him from put fishing more than half of what he reall knows of the richness of our mines. As ana ious as any one to see the price of mutto and beef reduced to reasonable rates, we | not scruple to affirm that this is as good grazing country as ever the sun shone or th snow fell upon.
 Advertisements, when accompanied by th cash, will be inserted on the usual terms, an any new firms starting in business, or ol concerns receiving new gooos of fluid chaI scter, who leave sample of their stock wit us, shall not fail to receive notice of thei liberality, with such testimonials regardin the quality of their wares, as might be e, peeted from individuals of our known bibl lous propensities and experience as tasters.
 We shall endeayor to follow out and in prove upon the line of policy hinted at
 these croppings, and if we fail in deveopir good lode, will acknowledge that the vel capped over or pinched out. II. A. B.
