MR. VAN ARsDALE, of Garrisk & Co, of Globe Mining District, writes as follows:
 On January 10, at II a. m., we put in blast and charged copper furnace. In one hour and twenty minutes tap ped a fifty-pound bar of 90 per cent. copper. Since then we have been mining constantly with the most grati- lying results. We are only producing at the rate of one ton copper per diem at present, but in few days will put our large furnace in blast and produce about five tons copper bullion in twen- ty-fOur hours. Our success Is estab- llshed and even exceeds our anticIpa- tions. We also have silver smelting furnace nearly completed and will start that as soon as possible; capacity six tons ore per day. Other affairs in dis trict are about as usual.

January 27, 1877. Mir. President: The undersigned of the Committee on Finance, to whom was referred c. B No. 13, An act au- thOrizing loan on the faith and credit of the Territory, and to provide for continuing work in the erection of the Territorial Prison, respectfully makes Ihe following minority report thereon At the time of location of the Terri torial Prison, the title to the lands up- on which the Buildings of the Prison are now situate was vested in and be lOnged to the Village of Yuma, but was subsequently, conveyed to the Ter ritory for the purpose of a Territorial Prison, conditional that when not so occupied, the lands and all improve. ments should revert to and again be- come the property of said village, and as your committee IS advised such is the present condition of the title. The appropriation asked for in the Bill Is to be expended in continuing the construction of Buildings upon these lands, and in the event of the re- moval of the Prison to any other point In the Territory which may be deemed more central or eligible as the Territo. Y increases in wealth and population, ana better able to bear the burdens of taxation for thIs purpose, all the mo- neY already granted and expended, as well as the amount now asked for, will DC lost to the Territory. And then toe oy the report Of the Territorial Board oi Prison Commissioners, it is clearly evident that there is sufficient accommo. uallon for all prisoners that are likely 'o De confined in the prison during the next three years and in consequence DO Immediate necessity for increasing our indebtedness.
 In view of these facts, your commit lee recommend that the Bill do not pass.
 All of which is respectfully sub. mitted. Al MoEr1ER

The Chief Justiceship.

The Legislature at its present scs
sion will be ca He'd upon to elect /,
Chief Justice to fill The vacancy
caused by the death Of Judge Moses.
A number of names have been mcn-
tened for the position, but il is un-
certain at this writin. To s,y wha is to
be the lucky man. Governor lamp.
ton is said to be in iilyur OF the
election Of Associate Justice Willard,
and we take it for granted that he
has good and ample reason; for
having n preference i'll The natter
Judge Willard stool up m.li'uiiy by
the people III thicr fsh, agaius,
c :mberlain and his theving ,asso
ciatcs, and deserves their thanks.
That they are grateful can be demon
strated by making him Cniet Ju.tice.
But i'll deciding in favor Of Hampton
it is argued that he only did his duty.
Now no code Of ethics has sought to
disparage viltue by such rule, and
the test Of merit is conceded to be the
heroism Of the decd. The question
in such II case is not whether more
than duty has been done or whether
true principle could 10 less, but
whether, i'll the ordinary course nt
human action, the performance OF
duty alone was to have been cxpec ted.
If not, and it be found fully di;
charged, distinguishing credit will he
awarded. As it is impossible for
man to do more than hi: duty, so his
honor waits upon the degrees OF per-
formancc, and the Iii ghcst awards
crown It's completeness. The ques ton
should not be whether virtue could
have done less, but whether its
sublimcst impulses could have promp.
ted more.
For these reasons wc heartily cn-
dorse the nomination Of Judge Wi
lard.
