Would Have His Crow.

During our recent trip 10 San Francisco we feli in with Abraham Townsend, the step father of the Tenama and Colusa De- mocracy, who was buying gross of rooster cuts with which Co embelIish his newspaper, the Rcd Bluff Sentinel, when the De- mocracy, as he anticipated, should sweep the State from Siskiyou 10 San Diego on the 3d of September.
 The election day came, passed, and as the telegraph began tc indicate that his party was third and last in the race, Uncle Abe saw that his roosters were "dead cocks in the pit" so far as the State was concerned, but as old benighted Tehama had elected n Democratic Coroner, and several Justices and Constablcs, he proceeded to put his EOosters on duty and set tbem 10 growing over their local tri- umph. The daily Sentinel of the 4th, there. fore, comes to us with an entire column filled with roosters stretching their necks and making the air vocal with the music of an imaginary Democratic triumph.

Funeral of the Late Judge Wells.

Marina street, NJ. E. Church was, at ? D. m. Tuesday filled with the relatives, friends and acqunntances of the late Judge Ed mund W. Wells, whose death was noticed in the MINER of yesterday, for the purpose of being present at the funeral and paying the last sad rites to the memory of the de- parted.
 The choir sang number of solemn odes and dlrges, Miss Carrie Wilkins presiding at the organ, after which Rev. c. II. Adams delivered a pathetic address, in which he alluded feelingIy to his acquaintance with the deceased years ago in Colorado. and bore testimony to the excellent cbarac- ter and many good qualities of head and heart that have ever distinguished him in life and rendered his memoryl sacred in death.
 X very large coucOurse of people Of both sexes followed the remains to the Masonic Cemetery where inc last sad rites of the Church were performed, and the earth closed forever over all that is mortal of a good snd true maa. Judge Wells was not, himself. member of the Masonic Order, consequently was not buried with the rites of the craft. but in the lot of his son, who is member. and who already has a child bured there.

CHERRY CREEK

MT. X. NJ. Smith, Superintendent and GeLeral Manager of the Golden Era Mining Company, came in last evening from Cherry Creek in company with NIT. GosDer, one of the owners. The company have their saw mill about ready to run, the only thing lacking is 600 feet of piping, which is being made at the tin shop of Messrs. Frederick < Hill. So soon as they can manufacture the necessary lumber for the erection of their quartz mill, a large force of men will be put to work in its erection and all of this can be accomplished during the next forty days, when we expect to be able to chronicle the successful working of the Golden Era quartz mill. Since the com pany started to put up machinery, few weeks ago, several very valuable gold leads have been discovered Tn tic districr, and the greatest activity prevails ali through the hills in and around Cherry Creek. The lat est find is huge gold mine, four feet wide, by Mr. Sessions, formerly proprietor of the Big Bug station. The lead is said to be extensive and the ore extraordinary rich,
 We are more thoroughly convinced that our country is hardly scratched over, and that hereafter all of our best mines are to be discovered

PRESCOTT WATER WORKS.

The Messrs. Brown Bros, foundrymen, taxpayers and citizens of our town, propose to furnish the city of Prescott with water in every particular sufficient to put out fire, etc, on vey reasonable terms. Their proposition Is 10 erect on the hill west of Prescott large reservoir, to hold 10000 gallons of water, lay down iron piping through the Village, put up hydrsnts. for $i0o per month, conditionally: The Vii lage Council to loan the Messrs. Brown Bros Se 900 for a term of ls years without interest, and give them franchise for the same length of time. They propose to give the Village security for the loan, and to pay back Co the Village five hundred dollars per annum; that iS- the Village to deduct from tho sis0O per annum, that they are to Ie- ccive ior supplying the water, $500. thus, at the end oi twelve years the debt would be cancelled, and the water works would re- vert to the city. The proposition seems to hc quite fair, at all events much better than that of EckhOff X Dewitt, for inc errction of the Holly system.

SECRETARY J. J. eospER.

This gentleman, whose name siansis at the head of this article is thorough, un- compromising Republican. One who can not be used by the unterrifed Democracy, one who cannot be accused of lending his name or influence to promote or the carry ing on ofany scheme, hence, one or two sm- bilious Democrats do not like Secretary Gosper and threaten to have him dismissed from office. Hal Ina. Crack your whip, gentlemen. Secretary Gosper came to Ar izOns two years sgo last April and assumed the duties of Secretary of Arizona, since which time he has carefully, fearIessly and honestly attended to his work as such, and also during this time has actually discharg- ed the duties of Governor for about ten montks of the time, m the absence of ex- Governor Hoyt and our present Governor, General Grcmont. from the Territory. We challenge the proof of one single instance wherein Secretary Gosper has failed te dis charge his whole duty, and that too with out fear or favor. Neither Democrat nor Republican can point to one instance where he has sweryed or failed in courage to do his whole duty. While some of the sleepy ones have 5esn resting, idly passing the time, Mir. Gosper has been at work. He has invested his honest earnings m lauda- ble enterprises and is reaping, we hope, a reward for so doing. If the Secretary has been absent from his office, going to the country, is or 20 miles, Assistant Secretary Andersen has been in the office attending to :he duties. Is this a crime2
 Perhaps the whole upshot of the little bomb-shell the enemies exploded is because of their jealousy toward the Hon. Secretary whom they fear may be formidable oppo- nent to some aspiring Democrat in the next campaign for Delegate. Dispel your fears, gentlemen, Mr. Gosper is not so ambitious as you would make him out. InsinuatioDs and inuendoes are bad things. Come forth with charges and back them with proofs. If there is any one office in the Territory that deserves praise for the excellent man. ner in which ithas been conducted, il. is that of our worthy Secretary, whom rebel Demo crats would aDnIhialte if they could. Both President Hayes and Secretary Schurz are familiar with the acts of Secretary Gosper and no lit;Ie gone will go down with them. The time has not arrived for the appoint ment of Democrats to office in Arizona. No, not yet.

DESERT LANDS.

We have received copy of the United States Public Land Laws, and among other valuable matter we find the following in re- gard to the taking up, by citizen of the United States, of section of land under the Desert Act, approved March 3, 1877.
 That all lands exclusive of timber lands and minersl lands which will not, without irrigation, produce some agricultural crop, shall be deemed desert lands within the meaning of this act. which fact shalI be as- certained by proof of two or more credible witnesses under oath. whose affidavits shall be filed in the land office in which said tract of land may be situated"

MINING NEWS.

Information derived from various sources indicates continued activity ana prosperity in the mining business of cur promising ter ritory. Ledges of excelIen. paying ore arc found iu many unlocked Tor localities, while old Iodes are being developed and found rich enough to justify the outlay of capital for machinery and other improvements. whicI are of late, coming to our aid. The mining enterprises in Arizona, for period of years, have been conducted quietly, carefully, and are, at last, assuming huge proportions. Our mines are being worked for what they will yield in actual output, and not used as paper mines or for wildcat speculations. h every district througout the mineral belt. which extends from north to south distance of 400 miles, the great est determined activity prevails, anI the resul. is that Arizona mines, to-day, stand m a better light, with capitalists in the east, than those of any other mining section of the Pacific Coast. This year will bring more capital to Arizona than all we lave had during the last decade. Mining ex- perts have come and gone, new mills and capital have followed the reports of these gentlemen in nearly every instance. Al present there are in the territory several scientific parties examining mineral depos- its with view of giving their verdict oi good or bad to large corporations who stand ready to invest their millions and rescue the shining ores from their siumber for sges mast. We have no fears but what our mines will stand the test and be reported upon favor ably. then will follow development and the expenditure of cash to befollOwedb by yield of bullion congratulated in this western land. Ii is true that the drawbacks 10 min ing enterprises have been numerous and discouraging. but not a single instance can be rccountcd where the nchness of the ore could be brought into account as the cause. It has generally been the failure to procure water where mills have been erected, or on account of the inconpIeteness of the machinery. Miils have been erected for working ores free from sulphurets. etc.,when  in every single instance, at water level, Ari- zona ores have Lcen found 10 be very base, requiring the very best machinery to make milling of ores success.
 During the last two years mills have been erected with roasters and other mod ern improvements for the working of re- belIious ores; and who can point to one of these bullion producers and say that they have failed. We have sent out millions with our limited means and what will it be when we haze reduction works on gigan- tic scale. Mines we have right here in Yav- apai to keep several thousand stamps busy and on paying ore, therefore, We predict that Arizous's dark day has passed and that VIC are just about to be greeted with bright and lasting morn.

OUR MINES.

Good news continues to come ia from Tiptop, ngvr aud other mining camps. The mill at Gillett is running right along. turning out sio,o0O per month. The Tiger the same amount, and next week, the Peck will start up and run close on to the heels of the Giliett and Tiger mills, in yield. The MAsiersOn two-stamp is pounding away with but slight expense, netting <iOo daily. C. C. Bean has two men making an opening on the Davis Mine. Mir. Ross has machinery erected on some of his lcdes. and is going down on them uith view of finding out whether Dc can safely order a mill. From every direction the mining outlook is aaItoring, snd 50 the good aork goes on.

F. G. BUDDE.
 Grand Master.

The Call of the 7th, gIves the vote by counties as nearly as il could be ascertaiHed as follows: Perkins 3s, ,731; Glenn 27,726; White 20.i99 Perkins majority over Glenn l:,005; Perkins over White 1s,432; Glenn over White ., 7,427. The combiaed vote of Glenn and White would beat Perkins (. 9.49i.
 The above count is without San Francis co, which gave White large majority, leaving him some 5000 ahead of Glenn in the entire State.

Memphis, Sept. G. Seventeen new cases in all were reporteI to-day. Four deaths occurred. Total nnm- Der of new cases reported for the week, 152 whites 7s, colored fl. Total nnmber to date, 1.005. Total deaths from yellow fe- yer for the week 43-whitcs g, colored 10. Total deaths to date, 272.
 The following appeal is made to the Odd Fellows:
 Murfresboro, Tenn, Sept. 6, 1S19.-To the IRdepeztleat Order of Odd Fsitons-Greet- ing :-The Odd Fellows Special Relief Committee of Memphis are again forced to the necessity of appealing to the Brother hood at large for material aid. All of the available funds of five Lodges and two en- campments have been extended iii sending many of their brethren and families to pla- ces of safety, in nursing and providing for tine sick and burying the dead. Business is suspended, wages stopped, and sickness and death are making sad havoc. This ap- peal is made with grear reluctance, in view of the generous ontpouring of substantial aid which met similar appeals in 1876 and 1878; but with sickness and distress upon every hand. with walls, sorrow aud cries for help coming up continually, their treasury is exhausted, and sad prospect of a con- tinuauce of the scourge of yellow fever for a period of at least two mouths to come, their only resource is an appeal for help from our more fortunate brethren, who are spared such calamity as now scourges this city.
 All contributions should be sent to Mar GUS Jones, Grand Patriarch of the State and President of the Special Relief Committee, l. o. 0. F., Memphis, Tenn.
