PHENfX, A. T., June 9th, 1880.
 ED. MINER Where the MINER is read, and Capt c. P. Esgan is known, there will the peculiar defence of the Captain pub- lishcd in its columns iast week, be long re- membered. Here, the remarks of the writer, ''Fair Play" have caused great demand for the CampbeIl-Esgan pamphlet, of which there are but few copies to be found in Phenix.
 What selfsacrifcing, unselfsh, noble minded, friend-sayiDg hero Captain EagAn therein proves himself to be. What dis cernment, what penetration be evinced in So easily discovering the errors committed by Judge DeForest Porter in his action ap- pointing H. Brooks, of Prescott, receiver of the Peck mine. How quickly on his arrival in Phenix did he succeed in persuading the honest Judge to revoke the appointment, and order iise receiver to turn over the property in his possession 10 the representa- tives of the California robbers Who ever before knew. or heard of q Judge appointing receiver, and then without cause or com plant, without giving notice or hearing to the party who applied for the appointment, in most summary manDer ordering the re ceiver to turn over The property o the oppo- slte party, the enemy, as it wers.

 Captain Eagan deserves we'll of the pub lie for such successful raids on our inmscu- late judiciary. He it was who beasts that alone and unsided he caused Judge Porter 10 take the acton mentioned. and he re. joices that he was able to render so signal service to bis friends Hobart and Hayward of San Francisco.

 l am one of about fifty miners who worked at the Peck mine and mill, who were all bounced out on the cold world without payment, and up to this tim me with out prosptc. of pay. God and Uncle Sam will take care of Esgan, and how we'll he knows lt. But Porter depends in measure on the public. He asks, at our hands, as a shgnt recognition of his upright career as Judge of the Second Judicial District of Arizona, and his valuable services ssin Chambers" as believe such side jobs as this with Eagan are called, that he may be thought worthy to succeed Campbell as Delegate in Congress from Arizona. Yes. DeForest Porter asks for our votes at the election next November. ask the ffty miners whom he caused to be discharged from the employ of Brooks. receiver at the Peck mine, On the 26th day of May, A. D., 1880, to remember the fact We can only pray for Esgan, but we can rerard Porter These nifty miners are scattered into nearly every mining camp in Arizona; fleeing away from the enforced stagnaiicn that surrounds inc Peck They are to be found in every busy mining camp where labor is required ID the Territory, and so surely as the MINER containing these lines shall meet their eyes. so surely do bope that every one will ex- ert himself to assist in giving the ambitious Porter the cola shake next fall. I ask why It IS that so few of the Campbell-E -Eagan vs Silent pamphlets are to be seen. The de- mand for them is unprecedented, and Camp bells enemies ought to have it placed in the hands of every voter m Arizona as campaign document, for hls bold, unauali- lied endorsement of Eagan's slanderous, li- 1 belous, untruthful statements published therein, ought to earn for him the hearty | coutemp, of every decent man among his constituents, and efectually prevent his re- election.
