The proceeding which mainly characterzed the operations of the early prospectors In Arizona was their steadfast pursuit of gold and their ut ter costcmpt for deposits of any of the other metal. AS far back as 1881 our mountains were infested by ardent prospcrtors who placed more value upon ledge Of silver ore than Is at present accredited ledge of granite. Hence the msjotity of the valuable lcdges of silver winch are, every week, being developed, bear evidence Of paving been discovered, prospcctcd and aban. doned in past years. Some of our early immi- grants-tncn who have travelled over almost ey- e@y foot of ground in Central and Northern Ari. rona-are now beginning to feel that among tho many iedges which they once prospected for gold. may exist deposits Of silver that will render re- -examin.tion profitable. Such ls the cause which has. at intervals since the discovery of the Tiger aode, sent many parties of prospcctors into the mountains, and which has led to the discovery of many valuable ledge. of silyer. The las, of these prospecting parties, up 10 the present time, left ou "Wednesday. for Copper Greek, to examine cer- tain lode. which were prospected for gold in 1865 and have not slnce been visited The party co h slsts of Messrs Ralbe, Hatz, Boggs, and Hogle- ell old Arizonans and yetersn prospcctors.
 Among the late discoveries, ls lode at Turkey
  -Iy Bucno min, the surface indications of which have never been eKcelled by any mine in the Ter. ritors--,not even by those of the famous Tiger. Ghe discovery was made In the early part of the present week by Messrs. Compton and Groom, aud has been named the Compton lode Native silver, chloride, black sulphuret and horn silver are said ts abound in the croppings, and some ten pounds of the ere brought to town by Mir. Compton, and exhibited to on Wednesday, psrseni all these in abundance. Tue thickness of the ledge varies from twelve to fifteen feet al the surface ,aaud in the ceutre of this Is a stratum about two feet thick Iu which native silver and blsck'sulpburet are plentifuIly iuterspersed.

Change of Tactics

Lieutenant simpson and Geo. Kimball arrived from Camp Date Greek on Tuesday. From a con. versation we had with these gentlemen we infer tha, the Apache. Mohayes at that post will here sfer. con duct their raids upon the settlers some .yhss after tke uaaaner. that Cotton AAther chose Co esptufs Vim. Penn and his followers: "To s.rve ye God, capture them slylye." But as she Apache Mohaves have no God to serve they are determined, for their own sake. to do their stealing "slyIyo" and avoid that Heury-rine con uoversy which seems to be the glory of the white man.

 To ths Editors of tls Arizoaa Miner:
 This time write in haste, and send you only few items but these will probably be news to you, as the mail communication be. tween our district and your town is almost accidental by nature. Everything is moving along smoothly, and the last few cool days have started building. Mir White has moved into his large billiard saloon: Messrs Scott & Walloer are building large store house i; so are Messrs. Monny < Spear as well as Mix & Niles and at least dozen of smaller houses for miners homes and last, but not least, we have moved into the new recorders office, an adobe building 1G by 24 feet As to the mines, they are turning out richer ore every day the Keystone" is beating itself. We have five men on the Lone Star" taking out fifty tons of ore fer the mill. To-ino row the Mayhower Co. will commence taking out ore for the mill.
 There has been some very rich strikes near Empire, and ore is being shipped every day. At Cerbat, Messrs. Fec & Go. are shipping ore from the "vanderbiltn and ''Champion.n n Messrs. slayen ( Co are shipping from the "Tigress."
 Lately, we have had a team over the new road from the mouth of the Rio Virgin; the party made the trip in q little over two days, and report good road. Mir. Patterson is expected soon, with large train loaded with vegetables from Southern Utah.
 Newcomers are arriving every day and report large emigration on the road.

Friday, FEB. 8.-No. S5T, +. Joseph Mayors VS..
Horace Pope, an action for damages for de-
bauching and alternating the affections of the
wife of the plaintiff. She testified to having
had criminal connection on several occasions
with the defendant, at the latter's solicitation,
which the latter as stoutly denied. The amount
of damages claimed was $4,000. The parties
reside in Webster, and are both married. The
plaintiff and his wife had atterly lived together
although they were for awhile separated after
the affair alleged to have taken place. The Jury
were unable to agree, after being out several
hours, and the papers were taken from them.
They stood eight for the plaintiff and four for
the defendant. The trial of this case occupied
nearly the whole of two days. Stockwell for
the plaintiff Very for the defendant.
On trial, No. 891, Addison G. Jackson VS..
Laban B. Stevens. An action to enforce re-
real estate, tract of woodland, in Sturbridge,
Plaintiff claims to have borrowed $500 of the
defendant, and given him as security therefor
warranty title to this real estate, with the IN
derstanding that it belong to him 1.-THE plaintff)
and that the government rate of interest was to
be paid for the money. Defendant claims that
the money was not borrowed, but that the title
to the property rests in him, really as well as
nominally. The question is, whether the money
was lent; that is, whether the deed was piven IN
defendant for security for money loaned ~ ths
plaintiff or whether defendant let the money 20
for the purpose of buying the land for himself
The plaintiff introduced testimony to show
that the money was loan. The amount claim.
ed in the action is $500. 1t appears that some
six or seven months after the date of the deeo
the land was sold for $500, an advance Of
$1,000 over the price paid for it. OF this sum
defendant paid the plaintiff $500, and took the
other half of the profits for himself This ac-
ton is made to recover the other half on the
basis that the money was borrowed and the land
belonged to the plaintiff. The testimony and
arguments Of the counsel are concluded, aud

William Allan Butler, prominent member of
the New York bar, delivered his lecture this eve
ming on "The Relation of Lawyers and
within certain limits a lawyer may forego his
own opinion, and argue against his conviction.
The responsibility Of the decision is not on him,
and he has a right to present his clients case,
and to do whatever the client himself would have
the right to do could he stand in the place OF
his advocate; but, under no circumstances, has
any client right to expect his lawyer, while
eXerting himself to the utmost for his legal
rights, to break, in his behalf any one of the
ten commandments, or to violate single obliga-
ton of true Christian manhood. A lawyer is
amenable-for any supposed infraction of rules
of right, in the conduct of his canse-to the
scrutiny of courts, of public opinion,
and TO his own conscience. At the
bar of moral scrutiny the question is,
in every case, one of individual responsibility
and the lawyer of to-day is more than every
committed to the original Interchangeable laws OF
personal duty. The root of evil, of which we
complain, is not in the bar or in the bench, but
in society, and what is most needed to reduce
the number of offending suitors, lawyers or
judges, is to multiply the number of good
men and raise the standard of individual char
acter,
