A LUCKY FALL.-Ths Sonora Inde-
pendent OF the 10th says: The most
singular manner of being struck with
fortune in prospecting. that we ever
hoard OF, occurred above Spring Gu!oh,
on Sunday last. Mr.. Snow, late Of San
Francisco, now prospecting in this vioin-
ity for other parties, WAS out on quartz
hunt with DR.. Drake Of San Francisco.
They were returning home, it being
stormy, when Snow. (who was riding
horse, along the trail) was suddenly
missed by his companion. Shows
horse had slipped off the bluff, and
down be went at an angle of 45 degrees.
horse. rider and rifle (which he gripped
firmly in his handy, rolling over and
over in the snow, until he brought up
against mass OF stone standing out Of
the snow, its top covered with moss. He
was not hurt. as the cold, soft cushion
had saved his bones from the hard
ground beneath. Sorambling up against
tho rock. he noticed that it was quartz
lode, and that where the horse had &C.
eidentally kicked off the moss. some.
thing glittered. His eyes plugged"
ont. but he did not stop to brush them
of, his hands were too busy clawlng off
tho moss. Darkness coming on, he had
only time to break off few specimens.
which are filed with pure ore. One
small piece, exhibited in town, was esti-
mated to be three-quarters gold. Tons
Of it are apparently, still awaiting its
owner. Snow says the vein ia about
thirty feet thick, and in his impulsive
generosity he gave away several shares
soon after. He told us that no "wonld
not look at So, 900 for his interest. 1t
is, without doubt, the richest mass Of
quartz ever discovered in this county,
except the Divoll bonanza, recently
opened hero in Sonora. OF course, he
told us TO keep il out Of the paper; but
that caution We and to be getting mon
otoneus. Mr.. Snow is very we'll known
in San Francisco as an actor Of merit,
and a gentleman we'll deserving the good
fortune he has "tumbled to-" Some
men are born rich, others have riches
thrust upon them, but Mr.. Snow has
drifted, through air and snow, right slap
up against pile Of richness that would
make old Rothschild's keen eyes turn
green with envy. a

Two likely young oolored men, Abe
Garland and Tom Ross. were in love
with the same dusky maiden At Little
Rock. Arkansas. She was coquetts,
and made sach believe that hs WAS the
favored one. Tho wedding day WAS ap-
pointed, and the rivals arrived ct the
house simultaneously. Each was fitted
out gorgsously for the OCCASION. and il
soen became apparent to each that his
rival expected to become the husband.
They turned upsa each other with tiger
like fury. but the old man Of the family
intsrfsrsd and said II there Was TO be q
fight il must bs y fair one with their
fists. The eombatants repaired to tho
yard, and on the word being given, q

matched ~ to size and weight. Finally
Abe threw Tom. and whom he sprang up
again be was fsllsd to the ground by a
mighty blow, which decided the fight.
The girl tended her PROSTATE knight,
and while bathing his face from bAsia
Of water, announced that she would

an area Of $4,000 square miles rich in
nitrate of soda, and valued at $780,

lccmmunieated THAT CONVENTION.

ED. MINER Your remarks on the Demo cratic Convention, in your issue of the 17th are universally agreed to be caustic, but just review of the proceedings of that re markable body. Your structures on the rulings of the Hon. Chairman meet with a hearty response in the breast of every fair and impartial man, be he Democrat or Re publican. So discorteous, so partial a ruling as was made by the Chairman, is something unheard of in Parliamentary law and Par liamentaIy usage. As you have truly sad the ignoring of Mir. Behan, delegate from Tiptop, by the Chairman, was an inexcusable breach of that common courtesy, which Is recognized by gentlemen everywhere. There is dissatisfaction n the Democratic ranks, and there is good reason for it. Verde, Tiptop, Williamson Valley here tofore considered Democratic strengholds, are jusfly incensed at the despicable con- duct of the "war horse" of the party. The Democracy of Yavapai need a few more wheel horses" double dealers, to insure their complete extinction as a political force in this county. They want a few more ''tried anG truen Democrats, a few more "dyed in the wool" patriots, who always make their appearance about the time the offices are to be given out, to make theIr defeat doubly sure. More especially do they stand in need of few more "leaders" of the legal profession, who, while having one eye turned wistfully towards the spells, with the other can weep copIeusly for the woes of the Democracy. The Democrats of Yavapai may have something to say about this slate business next November.

| It is history little knownr that tn above named reverend gentleman onc lived in San Diego, and once worSed il this office, or rather in the World" office which the News succeeded.
 | Ike. as he was fami iarly called by tn, boys, for he had not then gone into holy orders, was thought to be a jolly good fel low, but not good in the sense in which that term is used by pious father, or the superintendent of Sunday school. No very far from that. However, he was only sowing his wild oats then. Knocking round the world 10 SOW them. he found himself one fine morning m San Diego, without a friend and without penny. That was a situation in which Ike had often been be fore, and one that did not trouble him as it would good young man. But Ike was no, deficient in brains, neither was he 8 | "spunge." When dinner time came, aHd an appetite with IL, Ike thought it wise, and It was, to earn enough to pay for a square meal. Coal was being discharged at the wharf from the old steamship Ori- famme, and Ike struck out for job. He was employed, and helped to heave that coal on to the wharf, One of ihe boys from the World" office fortunately dropped down to the wharf at this juncture and received an impulse to open conver- sation with Ike. He learned that Ike could set type. and he formed an attack ment for him at once, and secured him a ''sitr in the World office. Here he worked for short time with satisfaction to the proprietors, but after awhile was not prompt in his arrival of morning, did not seem to have rested well during rhe night, and his eyes and countenaDce generally betokened disease which has destroyed so many of the craft. Iu fact, Ike drank plenty of whisky, played poker all night, and not content with being q debaucher, he de- bauched the other boys, and did sundry bad things, winch for the sake of his mother, we will not name. He was dis charged from the "Wordn office, but like Tom Fitch, bad such varied talent-being vertically Jack of all traces, he soon found employment as a bartender in Hills sa- loOn, which was then opposite the court house.
 In those days he told funny stories Of his father, but from respect to the old gentle mans cloth, we refrMn from repeating them, only remarking that if true, Ike was a chip of the old block. Suddenly Ike left San Diego in the unobtrusive way in which he entered it, and the next thing his friends and admirers Tn San Diego learned was that he had become converted and had been or dsiHed to ihe ministry. Some of them were glad and believed in the sincerity of the change, others doubted and thought it one of his ola whims--a love of change of occupation. All of them to-day refuse to believe in hIs regeneration. When did christian commit foul muruerl Stebb,ns may preach that a christian mIght, and Kal- Ioch the elder may justify 1t, but Ike,

Munds, of the Verde Valley, was named for the Assembly, with Lane, of Fer guson Valley. and Sullivan, of Williamson Valley, and the nominations were declared closed. but that action was reconsidered. aud Dawes, of Tiptop, was put in to make it interesting, which resulted in leaving Munds out in the cold and gave the Repub- licans in the lobby some cause for laughter because, when our convention did not give TIptop representative, the Democrats grinned out loud and said that gave them the precinct. Now they have ignored the Verde Valley. wiSh the small exception of nominating John Goodwin for Supervisor leaving such men as Ospt. Jackson, of Oak Greek, and R. c. Campbell, of Lower Verde and other men popular with both parties, without mention, and nobody to make fight syalnst the Republican nominations of Heai for the.

 A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.
 If our mistake gives the Tiptop to the Democrats, theirs should give us the Verde The fact is, there are no, enough members tD be elected to the Legislature to give each precinct one, so we must do the best we can with our chances.
 There is lively kicking going on just now, aud no little dissatisfaction felt that the present office holders should have got away with the principal nominations. as the Dem ocrat of Saturday has it ''by their supenor skill and organization"
