This is the way one of our exchanges
speaks of the Daily San of San Francis
co.
InfantIle Mewling.

There has drifted to our table a sickly
little sheet the San Francisco Daily San
which has attained the ripe old age
OF eleven weeks. Taking in at a glance
that it was another still-born newspaper
abortion, it was being slid toward our
waste paper basket, when a glimpse of
marks thereon, in blue pencil, retrieved it
thereof seemed anxious to attract our at
tention to, was an attack upon the Pacific
Coast Press Association, after the style
and In the vernacular INDUCED in by
Kearney on the sand-lot, in his accus-
toned Sabbathday diatribe before those
moral and social lepers who one day in
seven ccngregate at that place, and the
other six give active exercise to the vigil
lance of the entire police force of that
wicked city. The only conceivable cause
for the scurrilous attack of that epheme-
raj sheet upon the Pacific Coast Press
Association, can be found in the first Sec
ton of Article Third of the Constitution
of that organization, and reads as follows
"The membership of this Association
shall be confined to the bona fde editors
and publishers of newspapers and maya
zines on the Pacific Coast, of general cir
culation and acknowledged qespecta6alHy."
That the Sun was without the pale of that
journalistic responsibility requisite to
recognition by the Press Association, was
too patent to render necessary that its ed
itor should thus publish his own shame to
the world. The Sun doubtless is useful
in its proper sphere, but its relative posi-
ton to respectable journalism is that OF
vultures to clean birds. Like the several
already deceased and forgotten sheets that
could not survive the censorship of Denis
Kearney, the Daily Sun will expire in the
arms of its wet-nurse-its diaper will be
its cerement, and the saud-lot its last rest
ing place.

the Fourth District Court. The
plaintiff was represented by G. G..
Harpham, attorney, and the de-
PENDANTS by Alexander Camp

Judge Morrison said he did not
need hear any more testimony.
He had given this case careful
consideration, and he felt so clear
AS to the law that he should not
hesitate to pass npon it at once.
DIR, Smith never had been a rest

the Legislature of that Territory
had never acquired jurisdiction

would justify his judgement.

DIR. Smith has submitted to the

At half past ten O'clock last night, half
an hour in advance OF the start OF the
man and horse contest, half mile race
between King Hedley, of Australia and
Mootoomosonnic, of Arizona, was entered
upon. The attendance was quite large
enough to furnish abundant evidence that
the keen interest in pedestriani.m that
has been so marked in this city for weeks
past still pervades the community, and
that during the present exciting contest
people will continue to flock in thousands
to the pavilion. In the pools IIedley
sold for $5 to $40 for Moot. After one
false start second more successful Was
made; and Hedley. getting the advantage
of the tirss lap, kept it and gained on it
during the fist and second laps. This
was not to the satisfaction of the Indian,
who put forth great sprrt which enabled
him to pass his competitor in splendid
style. When the white man saw the In
dian thus grain the advantage of him, he
soon reduced his pace 20 walk and
quilted the track after making the third
lap. Moot made the half mile in 2:204.

Orc Mining and Milling Co.

This Company was incorporated on the
first day of September last, with
its principal business office at San Fran
cisco. The company own the Orc mine,
situated in Plomoso Mining District in
this county, the mine being located near
the old stage road leading from Yuma to
Prescott, about equally distant from, and
between Gutenberg and Wickenburg, be-
ing near Mesquite and Centennial Wells
Stations on the stage road.
This mine was originally held by a
couple ofSpaniards and its location though
a very old ore was scarcely known to any
one else until the present year, wheE ar
rangements for Its purchase were made,
and possession thereof obtained by the in
corporators of the Orc Company.
The mine, as represented to us, consists
Of three well defined lodges of gold quartz,
all Of which crops out above the surface.
The ledge upon which the company are
now at work, being some two feet above
the surface for Il distance OF $50 feet in
length, averaging feet i'll width above
the surface, widening to feet at q depth
of % feet, in the shaft sunk at the center
monument of the mine, the average as
says taken from various places along
the ledge above the surface give SIT per
ton; at the depth of 10 feet in the shaft
$50 per ton; and at % feet S175 per ton;
in gold with some silver; and is represen-
ted as being first class free milling ore.

had passed into oblivion comes
again into prominence, and, if we
may judge from the rather con,
fused Geographic statement, as
sumes an important phase from
the fact that the divorce granted
bv the Legislature has not stood
the tests of the courts.
The unwelcOme presence of
Smiths former wife cOnfrontS
him at every turn and embitters
the happiness of his more recent
nuptials. 1t may be that she is a
Harry, as Smith claims, but the
persistent tenacity with which
she follows her claim suggests
rather a woman scorned.
-ArizOndR
For shame Marion! And you
a married man too! Tt is not true
that all decent people hoped this
monstrous, illegal outrage upon
the sanctity of marriage had pass
ed into oblivion. Many, and we
trust all, true, honest husbands
and wives had hoped that justice
would prevail and rejoice that at
last such has been the case. The
presence of his wife was not un-
welcome to this man Smith un-
til he met Annie Carpenter, and
his baseness UPWARDS his only
wife is what should embitter his
whole life.
And to talk of the happiness of
his more recent nuptials. If
Smith eyer claimed that his wife
was a Harry he perjured himself
when on oath he stated that she
was all that a pure wife and moth
er of his child should be, and she
deserves praise for the pertinacity
with which she follows her claim
that this man shall not be allowed
to thrust dishOner upon her good
name and that of his only child.
If he scOrns her,-so much the
worse for him. He has proved
himself un worthy of her, and we
rejoice for the sake Of good morals
that his attempts at trickery both
in Utah and Arizona have been
u:trated and regret that he
seems likely to escape the punish
ment he so richly deserves.

1t is perfectly right that singers sh)uld open
their mouths wide enough for the music to es.

far. For instance, last Sunday 10 one of our

unmixed with awe, the manipulations of q
lovely mouth belonging to a soprano; and with
all due Difference for her, We trust that like
experience will bs indefinitely postponed in
our case. In the very first inning Wa could see
how many teeth were missing in the
lower tier and that the uppsrs were false and
unfeeling to the last degree, but that was not
to lie compared to her second effort when strug-
Cling to reach note of higher denomi nation.
Then the audience were spell-oound, 1t was
critical period; her mouth was distended to
such degree that she resembled an old-fash-
Toned chaiss with the top turned back, but she
meant well, there was no doubt of that, every
body could see distinctly that her heart was
right but at the same time it was obvious to
the whole congregation that she must fail;
mere glance suficed to show that she was sing
ing on an empty stomach! The scenery at this
stage of the game was grand in its awfulness,
but of course could last only moment. When
she discovered that she could get no higher
without splitting on her hands and taking
fresh grip, she commenced descent, the top of

smile on the two sections of her face was re-

looked benignantly through her bonnet strings
