LETTER FROM BIG BUG.
Bic BUe GREEK, March 22, 1880.

Bic BUG GREEK, March 22, 1880.
 ED. MINER: As il is now six or eight weeks since l wrote to you from this min ing district, and having promised to write when there were any items of interest, will try and fulfill my promise by furnish. ing you with the following notes of interest:
 Last Saturday Messrs. Stockes, Collins, Gleason, Roberts, Poland and Beggs arrived from Prescott, where Mr. Stockcs paid to Roberts and Poland the nIcc little sun of s29, 900, the balance of the 900, tor their mining property on this creek. Mr. Stockes has taken charge of the property and put men to work building cabins for the use eff the vol kingmcn. There is also in course of erection substantial building which the superintendent will occupy as an office.
 Following are the names of the gentle men who arrived last week from Chicago to work at the Polana camp: T. ". Swsl- len, Clerk; C. o. Gleason, head carpenter; C. K. McKinzic. assistant carpenter; Prof. ]. C. Austin, machinist; J. L. Brandt, eDgi- necr.
 NIT. C. J. Stokes is waiting for his tools to arrive from Marico?a, when he will con- mencc tine construction of a road from the mine to the Poland camp. Mr. s. has pur- chased Clark's 10 stamp mill, which lies on this creek, ana will remove it as soon as the road is completed.
 NJ. E. Collins. who has worked hard for this camp, left to day by stage for the East. He gees 10 negotiate the sale of other promising mines in this district and will return in July.
 John Recs and MT. Cushing, the latter from Chicago, left last week for Mohaye county, where they go to examine some mineral properties owned by Reese, Pierce & Co.
 NIT. Fletcher arrived yesterday from Pres cott with a wagon load of assorted mer- chand,a for the house of D. Levy & Co.,
 Rees & Co. have a force of men working their copper mine and have from twenty to ;i.ir,y tons of ore oa the dump, which as- says 50 per cent.
 NJ. \. Steadman, agent for the Valley Forge Mining Company, has put men to work on some of the conpony's mines.
 The miners of this creek hold a meet ing on Saturday, April ?, for the purpose of adopting laws for the distnct.
 w.ll write again as soon as the mill starts. PoCo TEMPO.

MONEY. NOT PRINCIPLE.

There was time when ''principlcs, not men" was the political battle-cry, but, oi late, especially in ,he territones, the sys- stem seems to be money, not principles, or rather mot meJ,." We say not men, be- cause there can be no manhood in the pur- chase of position Of public trust. Who ever will buy your yste will sell his own, The purchaser IS no better than the pur- chased. The office that is bought must pay, not only the salary, but the cost price besides, and this cannot be accomplishtd d without "skulldug.ery." Nc aspirant has 2 right to dlsfranchise the great body of honest voters by hiring few tools to do his bidding. If offices arc legitimately for sale, why not let the Central Commit tees of the two parties advertise them and allow everybody to bid, and the highest bidder to take them all.

Wants 10 Know Who is Strongest.

The Yuma Seatine! is sending out postal cards with view to ascertalning the will of the Territory on :ho Presidential and Dele gate question. The Republican party cares but little who the man is If he is only "hone.t, capable aud faithful" For Presi- dent we want q sound Republican who is deeply imbued with the very essence of pa triotism, ike Grant or Blame, men who arc known ;o possess tee above requisites from their past record. Men who will net let themselves down to such subterfuges as conciliaiiEg enemies at the expense of party friends. The party has tried the eXperi- nent of being generous to others in prefer snce 10 being just 10 theIT own people and fhc system ha, proven failure, therefore give us a man for candidate whose char. acter for honesty and loyalty 10 his party are above rc9ro2ch and who will give us no more exhibitions of humiliation in trying Co conciliate thc enemies of the party and sf the country.
 For Delegate give us trus man who is identified with ihe Te:ri,ory's intcrests and has the hcnc,,y and ability t' represent us .t washingtrn fsis.y and do us some good. A sound Republican would, of course, ic best, because Ac woGil haze more influence. and would ID, be spending his time in .rumplng up charges against Federal office holders. There are ss many such ;o choose from that VIC are undecided who to name.

New Mexico Indians.

NIctoFio, with a bagatelle squad of follow CTS, has been committing depredations for over twelve months in our sister Territory, New Mexico, with success and impunity, evidently outgeneralling the troops of Gen. Hatch, who have been all the tune and still are in pursuit of the'msrauders. First they appear on the Reservation at AlsmOsa, and the next we hear of them they are far south, within the borders of Mexico. Occasionally the troops succeed in engaging them, but only 70 know defeat.
 The last raid of Victorio and his follow CTS in southwestern \ ew Mexico, where several men have been murdered and much prop erty destroyed, has brought Gen. Hatch, the Department Commander of New Mexico, into the field in person, and he will bring every available means in his power under march for the capture of these outlaws. IL seems strange that a small band of ragged begEars, numbering f:cm so to l20 warriors, should SD long hold out against all ;hc forces under Gen. Hatch in New Mexico.
