Trouble B. the Centennial.

Just now there is q belligorent dis
 play out at the Centennial mine,
 which, we trust, will not lead to any serious results. The surface facts are these: MT. II. G. Bond, of New York, President of the Ce.tenuial Mining Company, arrived here few days since, and after e1 examining the affairs of the Company, considered himself justifable in diseharging the Superintendent, SIr ". B. He'll ings. This dismissal Mir Hellings refused 10 recognize. Mir. Bond had already paid of al. the men, wiih the intention of temporarily suspend ing work until arrangements were completed fer the erection of the mill. Mr. Hellings | then came to town, secured number of guns, and returned to the mine, where he now holds possessIOn, wiii number of armed men. A1r. Bond claims justi- fcation of his procedure that Mir Hellings has rot obeycd the Con- pany's instructions. As this matter will come before tie legal tribunal, the "botiom facts will be given to the public. In the meantime, we deem it necessary to say that Mr. Riotte, man of large mining ex- perience, who accompanies Mir Bond for the purpose of examining the pres of the Centennial in order to ascertain the best method of re- duciion, proaounces the mine q valuable property. As soon as this difficulty is settled. it is the inter ton of tEe Company to proceed at once to erect mIll and continue the development of inc mine.
 On the other side, NIT. Ueilings claims that he has been appointed Superintendent for five years and it was expressly stipulated that he should not be removed by the Board until some act of incompetancy CT neglect " $ proven. NIT. Hellings challenges an investigation of his management, and agrees 10 resign in the event of any neglect or incom- potency being shown. Mir. Hellings also proposes to have the whole mat ter investigated in the courts, and agrees 10 cheerfully submit to the decision. But he is unwilling to 1 give any party possession of val uable mine in which he is three-fifths owner.
 We hope this trouble will be ami {. cably adjusted, and, at all even g, ! that the right may prevail.-Globe i Chronicle

We rise to explain-it is necessary sometimes. It is said by great many people that a lie is just Us
 good as the truth when the differ
 ence IS not known, and lie put in circulation by TO matter how unreli- able parties, is, if not corrected, taken for the truth. In the first place the HERALD is accused by sew
 eral jealous papers of having the Legislativcsprlnting and getting t-e same l.y unfair means Now. nei;h- CT the HERALD. nor John J. Gosper or c. E. McClintcck, it's sole propri- c;ors. have no interest, large or small, directly or indirectly, in the Legisla- tive printing, the columns of lying jealous newspapers to the contrary notwithstanding. The Democrat was given the job of printing by the Secretary of the Territory, and the law called for using long primer type, and rot having time to send to San Francisco, offered to buy 70i6 font of old long primer type that we had, which we sold. Only this and nothing more.
 Aga1n we are aloo accused of cheating the county on our last year contract, by publishing in larger type than called for. In only one ins. ance in twelve months did we use larger type than usual. and then on the express orders of R. s. Thomas the Sheriff, who wisheI the tax no- tiee to appear as conspicuous as pos si5le, and the assertion is made | that the,Board is not to blame, not understanding printing and printers measurement. The fact is lost sight of that Judge Alsap, one of the Board then, is practical printer. At the commencement of our con- tract, we gave bond of S1O0o for it's faithful performance; we have complied with our contract faithful ly, and ali our bills and work have been on the square.

There Is TO reason why Rohb's bill, encouraging fish culture, should not be supported by the entire lcgis- lature assembly, as the members will do no violence 10 their political con- viciions in voting for it. Then the prospect of ariesian wells in the Ter ritory will make fish culture very profitable. If the Santa Cruz did not get too hot in the summer tIne, it would offer great facilities for the culture of fish, bI. then this could be remedied by the introduction of ice. The Salt rlver offers every ad- vantage 10 this enterprise.-Star.
