Explanatory.

Owing 10 q mistake made by hurried, over. worked printer in last weeks MINER, 1t has come to our ears that one or two persons to this paper-have got their hacks up, because of said mistake, which, while it may have an. noyed them has also annoyed us, perhaps great deal more. Now, as "aecidents happen in the best regulated families SO do errors, mistakes and omissions happen in the best regulated news paper offices, and if people unacquainted with the amount of labor, etc, single individual who has sole charge Of newspaper and job-priniing office has 10 perform and see to, they would moi be so free to find fault with, and growi at, every little vexatiOus blunder or oversight that may have escaped the editors vision, or that may lin the hurry of preparing the paper for prcss), have been overlooked by the printers, in correcting proof.
 Again if they but knew how very little profit VIC make by furnishing them the MINER for seven dollars year, they would, we think, feel ashamed of themselves for having even indulged a thought of stopping their paper. for, while the patronage of subscribers helps, greatly, to meet the enor. nous expense of publishing such paper as this Is, in so dear country, said patronage would merely lead us to ruin and bankruptcy, in a short time, although We are proud 10 be able to say that the MINER has larger paying circulation than any other one-horse country paper on the Pacific sO,st
 Finally, we beg to inform everybody that now, ever. our intention Is to deal fairly sQuarely and honorably with every lady, gentleman and question VIC may have to speak of Tn these col. umns; to correct mistakes whenever made; but not 10 be frightened into doing anything by the threat or threats of withdrawal of patronage, for we would rather be lank, lean hungry coyote than fat, wcil-to-do, submissive ox to be driven around by every simplston who could pin yoke on us and gcc-haw us in every direction.

Tough Old Chicken.

Night-watchman Jennings and scores of other practical jokers are and have been crowing over Joe. Crane, of the Diana Saloon, on account ot a practical joke which Jennings has just played upon Joe, who, as most citizens of Prescott know, loves to regale his appetite with the choicest tid. bits. 1t occurred in this wise: Joe was too busy to hunt up "spring" chicken for breakfast 1; Jennings volunteered to attend to the matter for him, and induced Theodore Otto to go up to tho slaughter house and kill a couple of crows; Otto did as requested, when Jennings and Layton took charge of the birds, picked and prepared them for Joe's breakfast.
 Time came and Joc's vision was pleased with the appearance of the nicely cooked ''caws" He smacked his lips and invited friend to pariake of the feast the friend was slow to "pitch in :" Joe wasn't; for, taking hold of wing; he rugged and tugged at it, until its toughness and smell satisfied him that all was not right Looking around, smiles were discovered on several coun- tenauces and Crane adjourned to the saloon, s'ia- ,, his breakfast, to be joshed by hIs friends, who still keep on lscturins him about the sinfulness of Crane attempting to cat crow.

Diamond Hunters.

G. W.Fox and F. P. Cunningham arrived here recently, from San Francisco, purchased animals, provisions etc, and left, ''in mysterious way" for the diamond fields
 MT. Fox has been there before. Mir. Cunning ham is an old Arizonau, formerly of Turkey Creek District, in this county. Being very well acquainted with the latter gentleman, owing to having formerly prospectcd with him, when beans were the only luxury to be had in this section, we pricd open the secret recesses of his knowl- edge box and learned that he believed in the dia- monds and thought himself and partner would soon be helping themselves to precious stones.
 His secret, which we have no desire to keep (and couldn't if We tried) is that, while Mir. Fox was here year or two ago, he found some stones in the vicinity of Fort Defiance, which he now thinks were diamonds. That's all
