WEEKLY ARIZONA MINER: PRESCOTT, MARCH 1, 1873
CORRESPONDENCE.

PATERSON, New Jersey, Jan. 20, 1873. 70 he Efaor gr hs Arjzona Miner.
 One of the prominent citizens of Prescott
 was in this city last year when on A visit to
 his friends in New York and through his
 instrumentality we, of this household, got in
 troduccd to your enterprisng town. Through
 tue medium of the Ms ER this int oducion
 has extended into all acquaintance with all the interests and incidents of your town and Territory, and made us personally intimate with the character and qualities. as well as the names, of many of your citizens. As with all sterling productions of pature, to know
 them is 10 love them SO, find, we have only to know you western men, your habits and tast,s and impulses. to admire and esteem you. Your plain, outspoken, thorough going earnestness and honesty, present new phase of republican development, which contrasts most tavOrably with the cautious and more calculating modes of this eastern region You have the freedom and fearessness and unrest ing energy of youth, and these qualities the world everywhere regards with interest and satisfaction, and dash of pride. The new society, the new colony, the young territory attract and obtain a similar appreciation from | the older of the same class You are the ju- yenie cadets of our American development and we take parental interest in the meth ods and tokens of your training and progress.
 This particular field of observation has been presented to us, as remarked above, by the accidental visit last year of your excellent townsman, Mr. John C. Campbell, of the firm of Campbell & Bufium, and regular weekly appearance since of the MINER and my pres ent writing is to express my acknowledg- mcnts to both these friendly agents for the pleasure and entertainment and information they have yielded us since their first visit
 Mir. Campbell evidently possesses all the
 large, generous, Open-heartedness of the west
 large as its own great mountains, generous
 as it's own bountiiul soil, and genial as its own
 balmy skies. And what agent to bring back
 to us the message of his friendly remembrance
 so appropriate as the MINER7 What SD clearly
 and directly speaks oi an absent friend as 2 photograph of the scenes and society and oc currences among which that friend is moving
 and living And when all these are pre-
 sented in the vivid, life like coloring of th, r MINERS style, we seem to be brought into . the immediate vicinity of our friend-almosi
 into his presence We are, therefore, under weekly obligations to the MINER for thus an initiating time and space for us and, whcr
 our hearts go off on errands of friendship tC , Prescott, we will charge them to convey t. . the editor of the MINER the tribute of oul , grateful thanks. Thanks for the enjoyment . and enlightenment afforded us through hi, | paper, and cordial appreciation of the wit anC wisdom, the tact and judgment with whicl ? he introduces or reviews the different subject, admitted to notice. l beg to express, abov,
 all, my enjoyment ot that racy, indepedent , expressive, characteristicaly western style O ! and soI
 abOunds, and which generally wings an argu
 ment with the swifiness and directness of ar
 arrow, and points a conclusion with the force
 and aptDess of Bible quotation.
