A CARD FROM MRS. RITTENHoUsE.

CARD FROM Mis-. RllTENllOCsE,
Mrs, X, does BULLETIN reporter injus-
tee in the following communication, He
obtained the data for his statement from
what he supposed to be good authority, and
it is hardly generous to impute to him either
ignorance or willful misrepresentation He
was not far ont Of the way, even according
TO Mrs. RS statement; but as the difference
gives the lady an opportunity to express her
views on an interesting subject, The Bull
LETIN will not complain
Mr. Editor;
Your reporter is either ignorant of the
facts Of the case, or wilitully msrepresents
the W. c. T. L. when he says that the
number of men signing the petitions crcu-
lated by our association, is not near so
large as the women. We have not had Il
full report from our committees rs yet, but
have two of the petitions in my posses
sion now, signed by 1876 women and 1872
men, which is certainly not "A large majority
for the women. The men who have signed
our petitions, are our best and most
influential business men--tha bone
and sincw of our city-men whose
names in the commercial and moral
world, carry weight and responsibility
with them.
1t will be surprising indeed it would be
strange, if when We come 10 sum up the
whole number. there should not be II large
majority of women, for the women are the
ones who have suffered most kccnly from
the liquor traffic Hundreds OF them have
seen their husbands and their boys, for
whom they would lay down their lives,
made little better than beasts by the
saloons.
They know of places that blacken our
city now. with cloud far more
terrible than the cloud of yellow fever in
the south-saloons, where young boys are
led into destruction for time and eternity
places where our dear little sons. whom We
have tried to keep sweet and pure, are
taught to take their first Dir 1ks and do
their first gambling. Knowing all these
hings-knowing from experience that the
men will not take the initiative in such a
step. can any one wonder if every true wo-
man does everything in her power to lessen
the evil. And | wish to say right here,
to the people who believe or pretend to be
licvc it, that this is not movement to abol-
ish saloons. We know too well the useless
ness Of such AN attempt here now, but il is
an attempt to Try to do away with the most
Of them, eay ny only those Of more re-
specialize class If there are any respectable
saloons to be conducted by men who will
preserve re semblance of deccncy, and
obey the liquor laws, There is nothing in
our petition TO prevent these gentlemen
who are in favor of saloons aud who
like their drink" from signing, rs they
also have the privilege of signing the sa
loon Keepers petition, thus limiting the
number and lettering the quality OF the
places for the sale Of intoxicating drinks.

BRADSHAW MINES.

Gen. John B. Winters. for many years ln- terested in the Comstock mines, and an excellent mining man, has been to the Bradshaw, and made visit to the Tiger, Orc Bonito. Cougar and Gray Eagle mlnes' and on his way home visited the Peck, Black Warrior, and Prince lodes. The General IS close observer, ana examined thoroughly the various mining properties mentioned above, and formed very favora- blc opinion of their worth. He found the Tiger people very busy cleaning away pre- paratory to sinking new 1,0OO-foot shaft and making other valuable Improvements. Considers the Tiger claim nearer the old Comstock than anything he has ever seen, and altogether healthy looking property. He has negotiated bond for the Gray Eagle mine and We may soon expect to see things assume a very different aspect Tn and around this long neglected bonanza.
 The Gro Bonito property, one aud half miles from the Tiger, is being worked, and the owners are preparing for the erection of a mill, w ich IS now at Walnut Grove; and A contract has been perfected with James Patterson to make a road from the Tiger to the Orc Bonito, and for hauling the ma chinery in.
 The General was very much pleased with the Bean mill, in Bradshaw Basin, and its surroundings. At the Peck he found a lively, healthy camp, and thinks well ot what he saw there. The Black Warrior and Prince are considered good mines, and the supposition is fair for something to be done with those properties ere long.
 We believe that the Generals visit to Ari- zona will result in great good to Northern Arizona, and we sincerely hope that he may arrange his mining and other business in California in such a manner that he may be unabled to return at an early day to Arizona and become one of our prosperous mining men.

 ltA very sensational story, alleged to have originated in salt Lake City, ont proOaOlv manufactured at Washington for eIect on the November elections, has continued 10 % the rounds of certain Eastern papers and figures today as the subject of Pno- hshed interview with ex-De!egate Elklns' ef New Mexico. The story purports to dIs- close tbe particulars of sn alleged Demo cratic blot to coloniZe New Mexico, All zona. Wyoming. ana other Territories, with Normons admit them as States, and then to nrotect fine Normous in their polygamous nractices. in return for the Democratic Sena- tors thev will send to Washington. Proctor Knott Chairman of the House Judlciary Committee. and Franklin, Chairman ot the Committe on Territones, are mentioned as the instigators and promoters ofthe scheme EIkins pronounces it the most ridiculous canard he ever heard of He says that almost all the arable land in Utah Is now taken up. and that the Mormons must nec- essariIy overflow into the surrounding Ter ritories. Perhaps one. thousand have gone to Arizona. and considerable number into Neyada. bUt he does not think there are dozen Mormons m the whole territory oi New Mexico, where almost all the lands are in the hands of native citizens, who have an unconquerable aversion to the Norlnons, and would not be disposed under any circumstances to sell them. It IS per tinen:iy added that the Mormon population of Utah would have to spread out very thln to make enough States to send to Washing ton twelve Senators, which is the number spoken of in the story"
 Tine Mormons living in New Mexico have been called into Arizona, and in this Ter ritory VIC are perfectly we'll satisfied that the number of voters belonging to the ranks of the Latter Day Saints does not exceed 250, and nothing more foreign to their minds could possibly have been invented than the above unfounded story. The Mormons are an industrious people, attend strictly to their own affairs, and have, in tkis Territory as everywhere else on the frontier, proven themselves valuable acqul- sitions, and we only hope that more of them may come and prove eqnally acceptable with those already in the Territor.-ED.

LETTER FROM GLOBE,

ED. MINER Liking your course on the Delegate question-although for Woolsey, treating the other candidates fairly, and not abusing them as some papers in the Terri tory arg doing-I give you my guess of the result of the vote Tn Globe precinct, PInal county, and McMillen precinct, Maricopa county. These two precincts will poll 25O votes. Woolsey will get a majority over all. Stevens and Davis, about an equal number, and Campbell the remainder-very few.
 Pinal county has large number of patriots willing to sacrifice their time for the public good. Thirty odd candidates are HOW announced, and more coming out every day, for the county offices to be filled. The mines of Globe uistric: are being slowly developed, on account of the lack of capital and milling facilities. The mines are undoubtedly rich, but capitalists are not going to pay q millions dollars cold out of hand for pros pect hole ten or twelve feet deep, nor can mill men give the full assay value for ores furnished them for reduction, as some of our mIne owners expect. J. W. Hasklns has a very complete five-stamp mill nearly com pieted, about a quarter of mile south of this village.
 The San Carlos Reservation Indians are a little stealing and committing depTedations in this vicinity. Cause-llttle or no grub at the agency.

Shaking Hands With General Sherman.

iCOrreSpondeLce of The OralhC.l
 WASHINGTON, October 15.-An army officer writes to the Herald of this city re- lanng an interesting incident of General Sherman's s visit at Prescott, Arizona. A ball was given in honor of the General, and tick cts of admission were placed at $l0. The writer says:
 In the midst of the joyous dance, miner, hardy son of toil, with unkempt hair, soiled face and hands, and the usual miner's $ outfit, trousers in his boots, in shirt sleeves, a belt filled with cartridges, pistol ana knife, approached the entrance door and said to the attendant; ''See here my friend, how much does it cost to get into this lay-Outl'' "Ten dollars" replied the attendant. "Does that give a fellow the right to go in and shake hands with General ShermanT Ser tainly,n was the reply. Ten dollars goes, said the inner, and handing the attendant a ten dollar bill, entered the ballroom. Your correspondent happened to be standing near the door when the conversation took place, and had the curiosity to follow the miner to see the result of his investment. He wended his way carefully through the crowd, avoid Ing the ladies trains as deftly as could have done one of your famous German leaders, approached the General and said: General sherman, merely want to shake your hand. I fought under you in the march to the sea" and turned and left the room immediately If the General has ever had more sincere compliment pad him it has never been an- nounced.

LETTER FROM rHE GLOBE.

EDITOR MrNER:-Political affairs hav' now simmcred down until things are quiet and each voter has decided upon hIs mar for Congress. By counting noses we find Woolsey will get three-fourths of the votes on election day; the balance will be aDou eqally divided between the other three can didates. The money left by MT. Campbell of your town, has long since been exhaust ed, and those persons who had the manipu- lating of the same are now open for the next man that comes along with full purse. Woolsey said publicly that he would do as much, if elected, for Yayapai as he would for his own county. It showed honesty on his part and made many sup porters for him. Campbell did not know what he promised, and we do noi hold him responsible for his assertions. BILL R.

On Monday, the Fist of October, severe earthquake was felt in Sacramento city. About two months since one still severer shock in San Bernardino, and month earlier, one visited the bay north of San Francisco It may seem strange, neverthe-
 less such is the fact, that these earthquakes which shook things up generally on all sides of San Francisco, were not felt in that city, although few years since earth quakes were more frequent on that point of the peninsula where stands the Golden Gate cIty, than at any part of the United States.

If tho Expositur were to be believed Fred Henry, one of Yavapai's best miners proSpectors, legislators and Indian fighters must have been little eff during his visit to Yuma last week. He is represented tc have said to the editor of tine Expositor that "the enthusiasm for Campbell in Pres colt and throughout Yavapai county is i'm mense and increasing daily" Now, it isn't at all likely that Fred ever said anything of the kind. We have known Fred ,manv years, and this Is the first downright false hood ever laid at his door.

This is the most ambitious attempt vet of the amateurs, and if they shall suc- ceed m getting away" with Richlieu, they will deserve to rank with any professionals anywhere.

There have been several rehearsals, and those who have attended them speak very highly of the talent displayed.
