An Important Mining Suit De-
 C;.sed.

The Garfield mine situated near the famous Silver King mine of this county, was recently bonded for S20, 900, but shortly after the bond was given, con troversy over the title was started and the sale temporarily checked. The case, un- Ter the title of Robert Williams, ct dlS., vs. F. Connolly, was tried before Judge Stilwell, at the present term of the Dis trict Court, and consumed two days, com lnencing on the 12th and ending on the 18th. The plaintiffs, represented by J. D. Reymert, claimed the property under the n4me of "rhe Ticonderoga," and averred that they had located the same in April, 1878, and had fully complied with the requirements of the lew n the matter of performing assessment work. The de- tendant, represented by J. w. Davis, w. R Stone and P. A. Brown, claimed to have located the property on the 1st day of January, 1881, the said claim being at that time public land subject to location, because of the plaintiffs failure to perform on said claim the amount of assessment work required by law. At the close of the testimony and ar reuments, the court took the matter under advisement, and on the 18th rendered jud gment in favor of the defendant for the property and costs of the suit. In announcin., the de- cislon, he stated that upon carefully ex- Amining the evidence, he was unable to find that the plaintiffs had performed the requisite amount of work, or any work at all, within the time prescribed by law, and that on the lst day of January, 1881, the said claim was public land and open to location under the laws of the United States and this Territory. The case had excited considerable interest and the re- suit of the trial gave general satisfaction. The parties negotiating for the property have, we understand, expressed their readiness to pay the purchase money as soon as the dispute over the title should reach final settle ment.

MINERAL HILL. Oct. 1

MINERAL HILL, Oct. 14.
 ED. ENTERPRISE: As we predicted some months a o, when informed that Wm. P. Miller, the miner, intended to take hold of the Mineral Hill mines, that there would soon be boom in the district Knowing Mir. Miller and his Superinten- dent, MT. Sibbald, did not waste time when they took hold of any mining prop terty that suited them.
 The boom has come sooner than we ex- pected. The above named gentlemen, having pushed developments on several claims, among which can be mentioned the Pacific, Time Keeper and the won derful Alice, the latter proving itself won derful in richness in all its openings
 Mir. Miller is interested ill several other mines in this district, and we understand is expected here shortly to begin work on them. Little Pnal county will soon come to the front as the leading bullion pro- ducing county in the Territory, and in- side of one year Mineral Hill the fore most camp. Late developmets on the Alice prove that mine of greater value ev- very day. The two winzes now sinking in the tunnel are yielding immensely rich ore, carbonates carrying sulphurets and ruby silver. The new shaft on the north croppings gets richer in horn silver as il gains depth. M.

Only Manslaughtery!

The trial of Floyd, the k-livered brute who, on the 18th day of last May, shot down without excuse or provocatlon helpless and harmless old man, was con cluded Thursday evening and the jury, after remaining out about twenty minutes, brought in a verdict of 'manslaughterw This result was both surprise and d dis appointment to those conversant with the facts of the case. Before the commence ment of the trial there was not even the remotest suspicion here that this hell-de- serving dastard would escape expiation of his crime on the gallows. If there ever was cold -blooded, deliberate murder the killinr of Charles Bernard by this man Floyd was one, and there was ample proof of the fact, but unfortunately it was not introduced at the trial. The defense claimed that Bernard invited Floyd to his room and asked him for two dollars and upon being refused struck the defendant over the head with club and was advanc- ing to strike arain when the latter fired in self-defense This was the statement of Floyd, unsupported by a single wit ness, and the only evidence offered in his defense, excepting the statement of the officers to the feet that they noticed a bruise on the prisoners head after he was placed in jail. It could have been prov en that this bruise was on his head be- 1 fore he went over to Bernard's room; it IcouId have been proven that he went over to Bernards room alone; it could have been prs,ven that short while before he lc6mnlifted the murder he remarked, in the preaence of several persons, 'Pm go- i iiig to hunt up that s-n of a b--h who ~ot my dollar and plug him in the belly" it could have been proven that he threatened the life of MT. Ochoa for put ting him out of the store because of his boisterous, profane and obscene talk; 1t could have been proven that he had been expressin7 desire, all day, to kill some one and that during the afternoon he plunged his knife into a counter and broke the blade in two, remarking that he would like to- stick it into some ones head and break it of that way and that he didn't care d-n who it was either
 But the witnesses who could have testi- fled to these facts were not called into court and this vile and vicious 'varmint" in human form, instead of having his neck jerked out of joint as he deserves. goes to Yuma for five years Great God what comment on Arizona justice to go abroad!

Perez Convicted.
M

The second trial of Julian Perez, on a charge of horse stealing, was concluded yesterday and was found guilty. He came very near being acquitted in the first trial, the jury standing six to six for and against conviction. If he had shot down some innocent man instead of stealing horse, he might have escaped punishment. As it is he must go to Yuma.

Garfleld's Distaste for Conflicts of
Men"

Mr.. e. v. Smalley contributes to the Decem-
Der Century Magazine paper on "Character-
istics OF President Garfield" chiefly based on
long aud intimate personal acquaintance. The
following extract is significant:
II do not think it is generally known that
Garfield rejected overtures in 1872 to be elected
TO the Senate by the votes of the Democrats,
com bined With those of a number OF Republl-
cans from his own section OF ONO, who were
dissatisfied with the caucus nomination OF their
party, The reason he gave for his course was
that the position would not be an independent
one, and thath would be placed dnder obliga-
tions to the Democrats, although they asked no
pledges. Three times he declined TO be Can
didate for the Republican nomination for Gov
eruor OF OHIO, when he mad only TO consent to
let his name go before the Convention TO have
had the honor conceded TO him without a con-
test In preferrig tue House of Representa-
tives to the executive chair at CoiumouS, ne
was wise. HIS place was IN the field oi Ideas,
arguments, and nsuuctive work, and he
would have been restive at any post OF duty
which limited tho activity of his intelllect,
and held nim down to the enforcsment OF Stat
utes made by other men. Indeed, the presi-
dency was foreign TO b 8 tastes, except as IL
gave him opportunities TO impress bis IDEAS up
on Congress and the country. A few weeks be-
fore he was shot, heard from his own lips an
expression OF the distaste he felt for the busi-
ness of deciding between the claims of individ-
uAs for office. i have all my life delighted

Magazine Notices.

The second number of the Century Maga-
zine (Scribner's Monthly conta aims, appropri-
ately, material in memory Of the late Editor
in-chief. DR.. j. G. Holland. A faithful por-
trait by Wyatt Eaton, engraved by Cole, is the
frontispiece, and well reflects his kindly face
and fine bearing A sketch of his life by Ed
ward Eggleston, takes the first place usually
occupied by an illustrated paper; it is of an
anecdotal character, and includes, among 9TH
or topics, his early poverty, his influence as
journalist, his religions character and his per-
sonal qualities. Poems in his memory are
contributed by "H. H." E. @. Stedman and
Washington GLADDEN.. One of his own poems
is printed in autograph fac-simile and two
Topics of the Time, the Lesson of the Year,
and Poverty as Discipline, (the latter unfin-
ished and and written the afternoon before his
death) are printed as his last contribution to
that department. There is also an editorial
tribute to him and an abstract of the memorial
services at springfield. This number affords
the first opportunity the magazine has had to
make extended mention of the death of Presi-
dent Garfield. A paper on his personal and
public qualities is contributed by his friend Of
many years, Mr.. E. v. Smalley, who makes a
well rounded study; The Story of President
Garfield's Illness is told by DR. Bliss, which
will be as eagerly read for the authenticity it
gives to events already reported as occurring
as for those which it newly records With Mr..
Smalley's paper are two striking portraits-one
engraved by Cole from the Sarony picture Of
August, 1880, and the other engraved by
Kruell after the daguerreptype of Garfield at
Sixteen, now in possession Of the family. Two
other papers of decided personal interest are

Representations which have been made of his
early literary life and the meagre accounts
that have been made Of it, has consented to
furnish the materials for this authentic record
of it for publics tion in the Century. The ac-
count is brought down to the date of the poets
marriage, and includes statement of the es-
arrangement with Macready. Two portraits, the
larger engraved by Cole, accompany this pa

A Cold Day for Magic.


Everybody has read the marvellous stories Of
travelling magicians mystifying people by ex-
hibiting their skill in public places. OF all the
leading wizards suca stories are published, and
in fact, they have the discernnent to see that
no better advertisement of their performance
could possibly be obtained. Yesterday Baron
Seemaa was riding on California street-dum-
my, and taking in his fellow passengers with
the usual blandIy unconscious eye of the
prestidigitateur, v hen he suddenly turned and
said to rather rough looking young man on
the same side:
pardon. my friend, but you will lose your
watch-the chain is hanging" ~
"Haint got no watch,' growled the youth.
Excuse me, but you are mistaken Look
there"
The hoodum, who unfortunately had been
at the theatre the evening before, and who
had just recognized the magician's face, took
hold of the chain. pulled the watch out Of his
pocket, stared at it a moment and then said.
"Why, to be sure; how d-d careless OF me!

The Leading Strings Fallacy.

From the moment a child is born, he is treat
on the principle that all his instincts are essen
TALLY wrong, that Nature must be th warted
and eounteracted in every possible way. He
is strapped up in contriyance that he would
be glad to exchange for a strait-iacket, kept
for hours in position that prevents him from
moving any limb of his body. His first at
ttempts at locomotion are checked; he is put in
leading-strings, he is carefully guarded from
the outdoor world, from the air that would in
vigorate his lungs from the sports that would
develop his muscles. Hence, the peevishness,
awkwardness, and sickliness of our young aris-
tocrats. Poor people have no time to initiate
the absurdities of their wealthy neighbors, and
their childre profit by what the model nurse
would undoubtedly call neglect. Indian babies
are still better off They are fed on bull-beef,
and kicked around like young dogs; but they
are not swaddled, they are not Graded, and
not dosed with paregoric; they crawl around
naked, and soon learn to keep out of tho way;
they are happy, they never cry. Ii we would
< treat our youngsters In the same way, only
substituting kisses and bread for kicks and
beef, they would be as happy as kids in a Glow
er-feld, and moreover they would afterward be
harder and stronger. Every week
the newspapers tell us about ladies
both arms; boys falling from fence
and fracturing their collar bones From what
height would young Comanche have to fall
to break such bones-not TO mention South-Sea
Island children and young monkeys? The
bones of an infant are plastic: letting 1t tum-
BILE and roll about would harden the bony
tissue guarding it like pieca of brittle crock
