WHAT THEY .SiY.

HEARD FRoM-Our old townsman T. J. Butler, has turned up at Prescott, Arizona. Heis editor, publisher and proprietor of the Arizona MINER, a neat, slX-cOlumn four-page sheet Its editorials have the true ring of an old ink slinger, and characteristic of I. J. We wish him unbounded success in his new field, yet old role, of enterprise.-l Red Bluff Sentinel, Feb. 20.
 The Arizona MINER has changed hands. The new proprietor IS none other than ThOs. J. Butler. one of the pioneer journalists ot Red Bluff. MT. BUter's remarks on taking charge of the paper are characteristic: After marking out his course, he concludes by say ing that ''the incentives to this course are partly desire to render obedience to the dictates of common humanity, but chiefly the fact that whatever benefits the people of Arizona will rebound in some degree to the advantage of the MINEs.' The new editor is live man and will make the MINER d welcome visitor to the frontier homes of his palrons..- Peoples Cause.
 The Prescott (Arizona) MINER, of the 9th inst, comes to us with the name of our old time friend T. J. Butler, as editor and proprietor So, Tom has at last returned to his old love and donned the editorial harness again. We congratulate the people of Arl- zona upon having secured so good citizen and such an able journalist Here IS our E friend Tom, and may the fair Territory of the sunny Southland which you have adopt ed as your home. flourish like green bay tree under your teachings, and may health, prosperity and good fortune attend you. -IOwyhee Avalanche, Feb. 10.
 ARIZONA EDIroEs-Once upon a time a knight of the quill in column of editorial effuson announced to his friends and readers his intention of assuming the bonds of mat rmony and in frank manner gave his reas ons and we think also named his intended partner.
 Now, as examples are contagious, we will merely say to our friend Thomas J., the new capi!aa of the Arizona MINER, look out If you do, however, contemplate becoming Benedict, tell your friends as honestly as John H. did all about it.-f Red Bluff Senti- nei.
 The Arizona MINER, published at Prescott, has been sold to T. J. Butler, Esq. Mr. But Ter has many friends in this section, who will join us in wishing him plenty of prosper ity.- Santa Rosa Times.
 Ar IT AGAIx-Mr J. II. Marion, who made the Arizona MINER the best paper on the border, has sold it to MT. T. J. Butler, whom he endorses as 1gentleman, a scholar, an honorable man." etc. Alta.
 We append that there is no doubt that the individual alluded to above is none other than our old friend and cotemporary, Tom Butler, formerly of Idaho. Tom is not only gentleman, a scholar and all that sort of [ huf ha i- Hv n- ber," and the MINER will not much degener- ate under his superyision.-I John McGonigle of Iollister Enterprise.
 SORRY TO HEAR IT-Marion of the Ari- zona MINER has sold out his paper to MT. T.. J. Butler. We regret much to loose the weekly visits of friend Marion, whom we have learned to regard not only as a live and thoroughly efficient editor, but as friend. We hope his successor may always be as welcome upon our table, Borderer.

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR.

EDITOR MINER;-In your last weeks Nil NER noticed an article, the subject of which was FIRE-hOw to guard against it. This subject has of late received the attention of property holders of this town, and many plans have boen discussed, how best to pro- tect this town against that fierce and dread ful element that may any moment visit Us and impoverish the best of OUT citizens. I deem it an important duty for the property hold CTS to at once consult with oneanother to have water brought into town besides that now obtained from the different wells, for every one knows that no adequate supply can be obtained to fully and speedily extin- guish fire should one break out in any part of the town. 1 have consulted with num- of our citizens and property holders, who would like to see the experiment tried of ble place in town, and a reservoir built to gather the waters that would flow from the well, from which it could be conducted through hose or pipe to any part ot the town. There is every reason to suppose that water could be obtained at reasonable depth, and if successful, what benefit this would be to the people. As the water would all be utilized, We would see beautiful gar dens to every cottage, whereas now most all the vacant lots are barren.
 The cost of the material for the well and the boring of it is not greater than We are able to meet, providing all the property holders will take hold of it with a will and it is q comparative trifle if we take into con sideration the benefit it would be to each and every citizen. Besides being of direct benefit to the people of this town, it would give impetus and encouragement to the whole country around here, wells would be started in different parts of this county, and as sure as water is obtained prosperity would dawn upon everybody.
 Should the above plan not be deemed feasible, l would ask the people of the town of Prescott to bestir themselves and secure the waters of Granite Creek above town and lead it through pipes to Capital Hill or some other suitable prominence where a reservoir should be built from which the water could be made available for the pur- poses above stated. The latter plan is surely practicable, and as our town Is growing daily, it will and must be done sooner or later, and why not do it now, that we may have the benefit of it for all purposes stated? hope and trust that either or both projects will be considered by the citizens and property hold CTS, and the best plans adopted, as it IS for the general good and benefit.

JAMES ONEAL, who spells his name just as We have rendered it in this paragraph, without any French prefix, suillx, afiiX or termination, has been in town from Date Creek. Frank Murray tried to cap a fight between 0ncal and ourscli on account of supposed espondence-endwise in our longitudinal dimertions; but when James made a survey of his antagonist he gave It tiD and intima,ed that if any of his friends wanted to take chance they could do so. MT. Oneal has large baud of sheep on Date Creek which he informs us are doing splendidly. He is himself one of the jolest fellows you would meet in a days march.

SCHOOL MATTERs.-The panic caused by the presence of scarlet fever at the Post is about sub. sided. There are no more cases reported, yet Il is thought prudent 10 delay opening the school until week from Monday, at which time there will be new Board Of Trustees, which, under the new law, must either be elected or appoiuted by the Probate Judge Judge Cartier has deter mined to appoint in this instance. Gray Foster ar4 Ed. W. Wells are spoken of in this connec- ton and we have not heard who the third is likely to be-

MEN WE DoN'T WANT TO MEET-The man who grunts and gasps as he gobbles up his soup, and at every other mouthtull seems threatened with a choking fit.
 The man who, having by an accident been thrown once in your company. makes bold to baYl your name out, and shake your hand profusely when you pass him in the street.
 The man who, pleading old schoolfelow- ship. which you have quite forgotten, never meets you without trying to extort five pound note.

CALL AND SEE Us.-It is a mistake to suppose that an editors sanctum is a hermits cell, and that it is too sacred place for people to enter except on special business. We like to have peo- pie call upon us, especially those from the coun- try who have reliable items of news to impart, that the world ought to know. No matter what the news relates to, whether mining, grazing, az rculture, matrimOny or what not, or if you have notking to tell, come in anyway, and perhaps We may think of something to tell you, and WIG will ret acouaiRted if nothing more.

FIRE MATTERS AGaIS.-Some one has written a communication 10 the MINER, on fire matters, that we should like to publish if the author had only entrusted us with his name, not for publica- tion. but in order that we might know who our correspondent is. The rule is so well established that any one, who writes well as "lsaac," ought to know better than to send to news paper, for publication, anything that he IS un- willing to let the editor know he wrote We VIII say to the correspondent however, whoever he may be. that he is mistaken in supposlng that we intended, in speaking of the "bucEet brigades, !" to have any allusion to citizens in their indi- yidual capacity and with their own buckets. forming lines and putting out fires; far from it {; we have seen too many fires extin.uished in that way to underrate the means by which it was done What we referred to as a |" bucket brigade" is a company formed as hook and ladder compa' nies are usually organized, with officers and a large number of "iire buckets" which are usu- ally locked up in the Company's headquarters and the key left with some one who cannot be found until the fire is over.

DE HITT TALWAGE, ON COMP ULSORY
 ED UCdTION.

"The community can no more afford to have ignorant men in it's midst than it can afford to have uncaged hyenas. Ignorance is the mother of hydra headed crime. Thirty one per cent. of all the criminals of New York State can neither read nor write. h. telectual darkness is the precursor of moral darkness 1 know there are educated out laws, men who through their sharpness of intellect are made more dangerous. There are. even in New England, l9l GOO people who can neither read nor write; in the State of Pennsylvania, 222, 1000; in the State of New York, 240,00O; while in the United States there are nearly 6,000000 who can neither read nor write. In view of this fact l am in favor of compulsory education. The Eleventh ward of New York has 5000 chil- dren who are nat in school. When parents are so bestial as to neglect this duty to the child the law, with a strong hand, at the same time with gentle hand, ought to lead these little ones into the light of intelligence and good morals. The officers of the law ought to go down into the cellars and up into the garrcts and bring out these benighted little ones and put them under educational influences, after they have pass ed through tie bath and comb, putting be- fore them the spelling book and teaching them to read.

IS examining the law, which We published last week, for taxing the net proceeds of the mines, we find some things to commend and others to condemn.
 We believe in protecting the miner as the law does until after he has made his enterprise prof. table and then he should not regard it a hardship to pay on his net earnings after deductmg every possible expense, while his neighbor who owns a farm or other property is paying on the gross value without any deductions.
 And yet it seems hardship to compel any miner to "show down his hand" and let the world see just what he is doing, as the law requires him to do in order 10 arrive al his net profits. Upon the whole, however, the law is not so bad when you come to read.

James Carroll, and was himself shot in the Jeff arm, on the l9th of January, had the arm amputated on Saturday last. Dr. Lipen- cott, post surgeon, did the cutting, assisted oy Dr. McCandlcss, while Dr. Kendall administered an anesthetic. The operation was very skillfuliy performed and Mir. Evans is doing finely 1hls has been peculiar case, involving unusual prac- ticc in order 10 save the life of the patient, but we are not sufficiently skilled in surgical matters to attempt its description. We only know that they succeeded early in relieving the arm, shoul- der and breast of violent information that threatened a fatal termination, and that alter wards all circulation seemed to cease below the elbow and up to a certain line of demarcation, which was plainly defined, between the sound and decaying flesh, and that it was at this point they finally cut it of.
