WHITE, THE YOUNG MOHAVE HERO.

WILLIAMSON VALLEY, June 2S, 1875.
 EDITOR MINER :-I learned the particu- lars the other day of the desperate fight of that noble young hero, Mr. White, of San Bernardino, with the Hualpais, and some of his other operations in Arizona, which be did not communicate through his father to the Guardian. White came to Williamson Valley, told of his heroic exploits, and, being short of funds. Phil. Mcdonald and Jesse Ellis took pity on the 'battle scared veto ran" and gave him permission to remain at their house until he should recover from his wounds and recruit his strength. N. and E. went to Prescott one day with load of hay, when our hero becoming tired of from tier life, packed up some SS0 worth of clo- thing and other articles belonging to NJ. and E. and started, like the prodigal of old, for his fathers house, in San Bernardino. Six miles on the way he came to the house of the French boys, and finding one of them at home told him he had made bargain with his partner for his pistol, which was given haibs dhN uC Ous hhtSb cuuC ucci, sold them at Cullen's Station, and contin- ued on his way rejoicing until NJ. and E. overlook him at Ehrenberg and relieved him of that cumbersome bundle of clothing and other articles that belonged to them.
 If San Bernardino has any more such heroes as NIT. White they had better send them to the Industrial School, if they want to keep their credit good with Arizonans
 MocCAsIN BILL.
 We understand, the horse White rode was stolen in Mohave county, and Sheriff Bowers had a warrant for his arrest, but owing to mistake of the magistrate who issued it, it was directed to the sheriff of that county and could not be used here, else he would have been nipped and sent back ED. MINER.

You have heard, perhaps, of the clerk who had faithfully served Stephen Girard from boyhood to manhood. On the twentyfirst anniversary of his birthday he went to his master and told him his time was up, and he certainly expected important promotion in the merchants service. But Stephen Girard said to him:
 "Very well now go and learn trade;
 " What trade, sir 2"
 " Good barrels and butts must be in de- mand while you live; go and learn the coop CTS trade; and when you have made perfect barrel briug it to me-"
 The young man went away and learned the trade, and in time brought to his old master a splendid barrel of his own make.
 Girard examincdit, and gave the maker two thousands dollars for it, and then said to him:
 Now, sir, want you in my counting room, but henceforth you will not be depen- dent upon the whim of Stephen Grard Let what will come you have good trade al- ways in reserve"
 The young man saw the wisdom, and un- derstood.

YEARS ago, when the middle aged men of to-day were boys, Horace Greely wrote " It is a great source of consolidation to us. that when the public shall be tired of us as an editor, we can make satisfactory liveli- hood at set ing type or farming, so that while our strength lasts, ten thousand block heads, taking offence at some article they do not understand, could not drive us into the poor house."
 And so many man becomes truly inde- pendent.

CALIFORNIA has now such an opportunity to advertise herself as was never offered her be- fore. Nebraska ana Kansas petition her to send enough barley to seed their desolate fields. We hope she will answer the call that both wheat and barley will be sent. Every farmer of California can afford to give bushel of each-some, great deal more. If it is sent it will not be lost to the gyers. Such wheat and barley as California produ- ces is not raised beyond the Rockey Mountains and when the men of Kansas and Nebraska look at it, it will be talked about fl om one end of that distressed land to the other, and the result will be that many a one will break away as soon as he can get means, and search out the State where there is no winter, and where no storms or frosts disturb the har- vests. In this way California can exchange her grain for men, and thus this grain ship ped beyond two ranges of mountains will, in its own good time, spring up and swell the harvest of California; Virginia Enterprise.

to the shell OF bark, and this will be div
ided into eight parts. 1t is necessary to
divide it into this number of parts in order
to allow it to pass through the numerous
tunnels between California and Philadel-

two cars for transportation. One solid
foot of this tree weighs seventy-two

The miners met in mass at Cardonia on
the 18th inst, and after conside able dis

of carrying on the strike. motion to hold
to the former resolutions, to fight TO the
bitter end, was voted upon, giving large
majority in favor Of continuing the con

question to be reconsidered. Then the
question Of giving up the strike was voted
upon by ballot. The majority, although
not 50 large, was still in favor If main

To the Editor q the woREISsnAs's ADvocArE
My sympathies are with the greenback
party, for the reason that no other party
appears sufficiently strong to break to
pieces the present monied oligarchy
A strictly scientific monetary system
cannot prevail until larger proportion Of
the people intellectually grasp the nature
of credit and the best utilities of money.
Money, like language, music, and almost
everything Of excellence, is subject to
growth.
A good, anything, is an outgrowth from
something not good. In other words,
evolution is law of life, and it must be
recognized and acknowledged before any
great advance will be possible.
With this view Of the matter, how pue-
rile to suppose that we must 90 back to
the old and first forms of money.
The col servAtives, the hard me ney men,
never once admit the necessity or possibil-
lly Vi al improvement III buiS ulIcCLtO0,
when, to my mind, no great Improvement
in any department Of society will be pos
sible until radical change for the better
is effected, as regards a medium of ex-
changs. Form of government, religion,
sbcial relations, all turns upon this one
question of compensation to labor. Settle
this, and then an opportunity is presented
for reforms in education in all its various
branches.
But compensation in fun can never exist
in connection with a monopoly Of money.
One of the barbarous' notions which must
5e banished from the mindap9 tie people
is that money, to be good, must be limited
by some natural prodaction-like gold
