TWO STRANGERS.
NatchcZ Democrat.

4 lady, accompanied by little girl ap-
parcntly eight or nine years OF age, II
stranger here, is i'll town seeking assist
ance from our people. She gives the
names of several very respectable tami-
lies of New Orleans with whom she says
she is connected, but who do not seem
disposed to render her assistance. Her
mind is evidently diseased or unbalnnc-
ed, as she saws she does not want to carry
bundle with her because it subjects her
to suspicion, and when any one gives her
clothing for herself or child she throws
away the clio hing she has been wearing,
instead OF keeping 1t and having it clean
ed. We understand the woman has made
an effort to have the child admitted into
the Protestant Orphan Asylum of this
city.

A Nova Scotian who, some years ago,
went to the far West to seek his fortune,

"Blueuose,' he preferred a Nova Scotlan

THE PLAZA.

EDITOR MNER:-A subject, in which l take considerable interest, has of late been brought before the public through the me dium of the Prescott .journals-that of beaatifying our Plaza. The suggestions that have been made fully agree with, and would, by your kindnes, like to offer one or two in addition to those which have appeared in the papers. One of which is, that the fence enclosing tine Plaza should he set inside of the line about 20 or 25 feet, so as to give ample room for an outside promenade, without encroaching upon ground dedicated to the use of vehicles. Besides the convenience this would afford, the beauty of symmetry would be greatly enhanced. I would also suggest, that after the fence is built and the grounds laid out, any and all citizens are allowed te set out trees and take care of the same, subject to whatever regulations may be established. This is not an original idea. but one that has often been tried with success.
 Yours, truly, eiTizEN-

Blackburn Again.

Charles E. Blackburn, who deserted dutiful wife and five children, and eloped with Mrs. Waite, the blonde dressmaker, ana was finally capt1red at Tucson, brought back to Prescott, and lodged in jail on charge of robbing bullion from the May Bean Mining Company, and who subse- ouentlv escaped from jail has been heard from. On Monday night last he stole from the enclosure of Judge Brooks, near town, a fine young horse aGd secreted tine same ln the woods until last evening, when he came to town, entered the stable of C. Dean, sto,e a fire new saddle, went to where he had the stolen horse concealed together with another saddieQ his stolen steed and emerged from his hiding place and took the road ln- to town riding the Judges horse and lead ing the o,her It happened that Judge and Mrs. Brooks had been spending the evening in town, and at about II o'clock when returning home they encountered the bold knight of the road coming into town, probably for the purpose of taking his Galce aE,or to @ more genial, and to nm, pleasanter sphere. The Judge recognized the gay lothario and lis horse and immediately selzed the animal and demanded surren- der 0f the property. Blackburn slipped out of the saddle, and into that of the horse he was leading and rode of into the woods, probably vexed at being interrupted in what undoubtedly seemed 10 him to be an under taking dear and sweet. The Judge re- covered his horse. Ban his saddle. and two lovers were disappointed.

GOOD IDEA.

EpiToR MINER At the present time your Plaza looks like blot on clean page Surrounded as it is by picturesque scenery and ample verdure, why not beau tify the central, business part of Prescott and yoar fine Court House, by planting trees az proper distances on the four sides of the square and around the Court House 2 Ii it cannot be donc at the public expense, I5 would well repay the tenants or owners of the buildings fronting the Plaza to club together and plant out the tees at their own expense.
 Prescott has, doubtless, a prosperous future before it, and a greatly increased population will follow. If the city can be made more attractive, and comfortable in the summer, by the planting of few shade trees at small expense, would it not be wise to do ii right away
 Excuse the forwardness of a stranger, whose only apology is that he hopes 10 be- come a resident.
 Respectfully, THOMAS WATSON.

Mails for Eastern Yavapai.

We have called the attention of MaJor Truman to the fact that at least one thou sand people in the eastern portion of this county are entirely without mail facilities, and have received the promise from the Major that he will make such reccommen- dations to the Department at Washington as will immediately place these taxpayers in possession of mail communications with the entire territory. He have urged upon the Major the necessity of establishing ana putting service OF from Berardos station on the Little Colorado 10 Snow Flake, SIi- yer Creek. Showlow and Camp Apache, and also from the same point, another route to Woodruff, St. Johns, Spungerviiie, Neu- trosa. Tularosa and Clifton. We have also called his attention to the fact that the citizens living on the Upper Verde, over 300 souls, are compelled to travel from lo to o5 miles for their mail, and have reccom- mended the establishing of route from Camp Verde to the upper settlements on the Verde. with service at least three times ucr weeg. and we are satisfied that the Major will do all in his power to have the route immediately established, upon the conveninp of Congress, and service put on the same Major Truman, of all our Special Post-ofiice Agents, undoubtedly has as much if not more influence with the heads of Departments at Washington, and his recommendations will go far towards procuring great good for our neglected ter ritorv. Of all the F. o. Agents, none un- derstand our situation as does NIT. Truman, from the fact that he has travelled, m the eariv days of inc settlement Of ArlZona, all over it, and is thoroughly posted m feSafu to each and every section. The haJor eA- poets to be in the territory about forty days which will give him ample tune 10 LOOK up all neglected routes, and other crooked things pertaining to the post -oi1ce depart ment. We are glad that he has beeh se
 lected to come here from the fact that we are satisfied that he is positively in earnest

The Little Colorado,

Our readers attention is invited to the fol- lowing. written by Chas. A. Franklin, who is in the interest of II. $. Stevens, to the Tucson Star. from SI. Johns, on the Little Colorado. It is the first town in which MT. Woolsey clectioneered ia the eastern portion of the Territory:
 .sEI Badito, or San Juans as the McXicanS call it. and by the Griugoes, st. Jonhs IS about the same, geographically, socially and morally; but politically il has changed a little. Some magic spell has come over the syirits of its barrels. and Instead ot stevens and liberty being the wa,chword, It IS now, El Ccronel y-what do you call It Tn Spanishl Oh. ah yes, l have it, gHieR sabe- St. Johns has improved considerably during fhe mast two years, and instead cf Il votes, if will boil next Nov, le5 votes-
 \ iunta was called, and all of the unterrl- fed assembled at the store ot Martln N I,olomo. Our old tme compadre, (. W. Reach. made very telling speech in favor of Col. k. S. Woolsey MT. Beacb's remarks were tempered with good sense a"G harness and instead Of the provcrbial mud-shnglng and contemptible black guardian, his iah- puage was moderate and gentiemanly TO- wards Col. Noolsey's opponents. This as It should be: "dlrt-thrnwing' and Vtupefafloh rrove nothing, but is sure to recoil on me slinger. At St Johns, Col. Hooisey Will get away with tue revenue, and fe~ scat tering votes for Campbell. Bowers and Masterson will receive no out of l29 votes.
 Mir Franklin was present at the Woolsey meeting at St Johns, and gives that place up to Woolsey. IL must be remembered that this was the first political gathering that the Col had east of the Hogolion, and was hardly fair specimen of the enthusi- astic reception he received at every place ne visited after leaving St. Johns, visiting Round Valley. Camp Apache, Showlow, sil- yer creek, Hoodyuf, Horsehead Crossing, St: Joseph, Sunset, and Brigham City. Could Mr. Franklin have been present at al! ci these places, he would have as readily gwen up the latter places us he does St Johns.
 There will be eco votes boiled m Eastern Yavapai, and Col Hooisev will receive 5 out of 10 cast, and it would not sarprlse us in the least if he does not get even the tenth

Special Mail Agent Ben. c. Truman, form erlv connected with the New York Times, San Diego Bulletin, and Los Angeles Star, and acknowledged to be successful news paper man and good mail agent, heloDging to neither cliques nor rings, arrived in town Tuesday aad teddy, commenced tele- graphing and writing letters to the Depart ment, at Washington, for the purpose of set ting aright the many abuses to which we have been subjected by cheap and careless mail contractors. The Major round many things irregular and bears us out Tn the many statements heretofore published. He comes backed with authority to make many changes. and will recommend those things which are of the most good to the greatest nuaber of people.
 We have called his attention to the fact that Eastern Yavapai is in a destitute con- dition so far as mails are concerned, and he has given us his promise that the evil shall receive proper attention. MT. Truman IS earnest and feels great interest in our Territory, and we trust through him that many of the existing abuses will be done away with.
 Persons who have suggestions, etc, lG connection with mail matters, to make. would do we'll to call on the Major and make them known.

 sIt is very seldom that we endorse a mining proposition, and when we do we cxnecT 10 have our endorsement fully lusu- fsd Tn the case of the Golden Star Mip- irg ComDarv. we remarked that the man agement had placed considerable 9uanti- tT of inc stock in Philadelphia, and that IL was their intention to make the investment profitable to stockholders by the payment nf dividends. Since the publication of our art,cle. the company have erected ten etanp mill. with q capacity of twenty more stamps, and have set up o9 morse power engice. In about two weeks this mill will be running, and a5 soon as II starts the company will begin grading TOT T 40-stsmn mIll 4 contract tor thls 4oc stamp mill will be entered into with one oi inc city foundries. Tie company have an ahundance of ore, free milling gold ore, all ready to be extracted, and there Is no dauit bur that these milling facilities Will 5a tested to their utmost capacity. me ore can be worked dirt cheap-say at the rate of s3 2 ton. The delivery Of the ore 10 the mill only costs 50 cents per ton, and wood is s a cord. Under such favorable circumstances, and considering the i'm nense deposit already exposed, we expect the company to fulfill their promise and pay dividends from the very start. The ln- formation regarding the present condition or the mlne we get from disinterested par ties. But we know it is correct, and We ex' pect the management to keep its word tc the very letter.

GIVE IT UP.

The Campbeliites and Davisites are sat isfed that the battle for the Delegacy now rests between King s. Woolsey and Hiram s. Stevens. Select of the two. WoolGey is a man who has always stood in with North ern Arizona, and proposes to do so in the future as in the past Secure man who will work for the whole territory, who las no axes to grind with any particular set or party of men. Woolsey will carry Mari copa, Pinal and Yuma counties, and stand either of the other candidates off in the other counties, except Stevens in Pima. Voters of Northern Arizona, stand in with Woelsey, and let us have man from t. e county adjoining Yavapai, and whose inter- ests are identical with ours.

Cur Enormous Grnin Trade.

The exports ot grain from the United States during the harvest year ending Sep tember 1st, 1873, were the largest on rec ord, notwithstanding the short crop on the Pacific Coast The total amount sent abroad aggregated f17,63S, SOC bushels of wheat and flour combined, S5,373,SS5 bush els of Indian corn, ana 4,3eS, ,935 bushels of rye. The total is 207.35l ,es6 bushels, equal to 6,09S, ,624 short tons. This vast amount of grain would lead fleet of 4,S05 ships, averaging one thousand tons ourthen each. The indications are that the present season even this large figures will be exceeded. inasmuch as there is an enor- nous surplus East of the Rocky Mountains, and our own State is marketing the largest crop ever harvested, while Oregon will not fall short of last scason.-lCal.

The Indians and the Army.

To, the poor Indian, whose untutored mind leads him to steal horses, scalp settlers and skip out of the country infested by soldiers, has been allowing the wild un- ftttered impulses of his nature to get away with him agaln. resulting in his getting away with enough live stock, ammunition and proycnder to last him all Winter. After leading Major Thornburgh a wild goose chase through the bad lands of Nebraska, the simple mlrded Cheyenne comes back to Fort Sheridan, and humbly smokes the pipe Of peace with tae eo.dicr and says he doesn't like WAT, aud if he had been used rightly he wouldn't have run away. And the army officers have to stand this sort of thing. The Indian agents piunder and steal. the Indians steal and murder, the settlers steal land from the Indians and get murdered, and the Indian Ring gets a hack at the spells all around, while Thc Army gets knocked about from pillar 10 post and made d fool of generally. line whole rascally crew of thieves ought to be exterminated, and the Indian question left in the hands of the Var Department for solution.

CAMPBELL Is A GoNER.

The friends of John G. Campbell, in the sOu.heTn portion of the Territory are send ing to Campbellites in Prescott to manu- facture sensational reports and send them to the South for the purpose of causing a reaction in the gentleman's favor down there. The attempt will prove futile. It is too thin The people are to wide awake to be gulled by false reports coming through the telegraph or otherwise. Campbell can't carry the town of Prescott, his own home. Ae cant carry the County or any other in the Territory. He is a goner. All right, the thing was hurting him, and he is now taking his medicine, and will undoubtedly be entirely cured.

THE DIFFERENCE.

"In looking over old files of the Arizona Miner recently. we found tine following in its issue or April iits, 1866:
 q. G. Campbes. is pack from Los Ange- les and has a choice and extensive stock of Louors. cigars, etc, on ;be way here. Up on his arrival, which is expected within this month, he will open hiswell known saloon on the plaza, and we doubt not make itas heretofore a very popular resort. '
 "Looking on furthas In the files of the same paper. we find the following m its issue of May g, 1866:
 Colonel Woolscy is about the busleSt man in the country. With two ranches largely cultivated, two mills in course ot erection and the opening of lodes, he has his hands fun. 1t is reported that the Green Tree and other lo9es near the Agua Ffia nill. which he is opening, are gigan- tic in size and amazingly rich. We hear that lhe Colonel is soon 10 erect quartz mill at Walnut Grove ip connection with Nr. Cullanner.'"
 The above items were published in the Salt River Herald of the 10th instant for the purpose of showing what the two can didaies, woolsey and Campbell, were doing away back in IsGe. Tine above, in regard to Woolsey is B mere nothing compared tc some of the fatering notices written of the Colonel in ancient days by the editor of the Enterprise, paper that now cannot find worcs low enough with which to be smear Colonel WoOlsey, the old pioneer and man who has done more for Arizona, a thousard times over, than all the rest of the candidates combined. It makes nc difference, however, for the Colonel is sure to be our next Delegate in Congress.
