ONE of our brightest Territorial ex- changes is the Florence ENTERPRISE. We can detect the praeticed hand of Hinson Thomas ill many of it's brilliant scintilla- tions.-Prsscott Democrat.
 Your detective powers are at fault in this instance, gentlemen. One week, some months since, we left the ENTER PRISE in care of our mutual friend, Hin son, and he did excellent work. But, with this single exception, he has never written a line fol' this paper other than m occasional correspondence duly signed. We conduct papel on the close-cerpora- sion plan, 80 far as the editing is con ,erned, and never admit to our columns, even in homeopathic quantities, either local or editorial matter written by others. Our life, or at least so much of 1t as we nave lived, has been spent within the walls of printing offices, serving in the capacity of either printer or editor, and ii this long practical training does not en- able us to furnish our own brilliant scintillations" "--such as they are--we will iay down the quill and take up the stick. To be editor ill name only Is not within the line of our ambition. But notwith- standing these remarks, we are grat eful for your appreciation of the ENTERPRISE, Mir. DeslOcrdt.

ExrEnPRrss Tn vour issue of the z8th, under heading of ssAtlvertisement 2 aEHeafs an article relAtl to ne; signed { flz7a Hfs 51sil. 9 Do s,l' n 5 PRISE of week before. As no names were mentioned in said card, the public would perhaps never have suspected Mr. Chas. Putnam of being a professional mine jumper, had he not put the cap on and worn it, in his advertisement. If 1t fits him, let him wear it.
 In his card he says he does not claim anything but his own. His habits have changed for the better then since he left Kern county, California, with team be- longing to the Mammoth Mining Com pany, which he sold at the Coast ranch. His next escapade, when he illustrated this trait of claiming nothing but his own" was in Sonora for stealing bullion. His brother, Mr. w. H. Putnam, gen tleman and an honest man, risked his life in securing Chas. D. escape. Chas. D. s former marital relations seem | a little mixed. Rumor has it Mrs. c. D. | No. 1, from whom he was never divorced, is liable to make her appearance any day and claim her share of the property.
 If Mir. c. D. Putnam wants proof oi the above facts, he can have them in oper court or from me personally, and I further advise him not to trespass on any of m! mining property in his vicinity.

A DIsPATcH from St Louis says: "J. NJ. Kershaw, on an order of the stalwart leaders, has struck off 330 bronze medals, to commemorate the steady voting of the 306 at the Chicago convention. The af- fair has been kept very secret. The med als are perfectly round, two and three quarters inches in diameter, three-quar- ters of an inch thick, and weighing near ly pound A profile of Grant is in the center, the face twined with laurel and oak leaves. Outside this is a record of the 306 Grant ballots in complete cir cle, the number of each ballot and the vote cast, ranging from 302 to 313. On the center of the inverse side is, Com memorative of the 36 ballots of the Old Guard for Ulysses S. Grant for President at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, June, 18SO.'" A medal com memorative of Grants last administration should be next in order. Let it be orna- mented with picture of Grant pufing a cigar and hugging bull-pup. Encircle this with profles of Belknap, Babcock, Mckee, Mcdonald, ct als. Make the medal square, and in one corner sketch scenes of Black Fryday; in the opposite corner, view of Sau Domingo; in one oi the lower corners inscribe "Let us have peace," and beneath this place a picture of the troops dispensing the Louisiana legislature at the point of the bayonet In the opposite corner inscribe 'Let nc guilty man escape" and under this place a roll of the pardons issued to the whisky ring. This would be history in nut shell, and would ''go laundering dowr the ages" side by side with the medal O the "386."

BELOW we print decision recently ren- dered at Denver, Colorado, by Justice Miller, of the United States circuit court It will be of interest.to many here. The title of the case was Orion vs Pendery They were both located on the same ground, the Orion being the prior loca- tion, but the locators of the Pendery dis covered mineral in place before the same was discovered by the locators of the Orion. Justice Miller, in delivering the opinion of the court, said: ''The question submitted to the court is this Can prospectors on the public mineral do main acquire any right in which the law will protect them prior to the discovery of mineral in rock in place, and, if so, can plaintiffs, being prior locators, re- cover against defendant, who first dis covered mineral on the ground in contro- versy2 It IS the opinion of the court that inasmuch as the plaintiffs allowed the de- fendant to enter upon their claim and within their boundaries, and there sink a shaft in which they discovered mineral in rock in place before discovery by plain tiff, and make location thereof, without protest, the defendants have the better right. But the defendants might have protected their actual possession of their entire claim by proper legal proceedings, prior to the discovery of mineral by the defendant, or by either party. A pros pector on the public mineral domain may protect himself in the possession of his pedis possession (foot possessions, so to speak, while he is searching for mineral, his possession so held is good as a posses sogy title against all the world, except the lgesernp1ent of the United States. but il .ha stands by and allows others to entel upon his clam and first disco 9sfe1 Of liip. sral isl rspl n place, ttses la4 gives sslsl ilrse diseoped &tlt1s to tlse n znzzezz.I.ssz |<' 1 'iisc6vered, against which the mere DOS session of the surface cannot prevail

THE Chicago Tribune is not an admirer of our unloved and unloving department commander, whose recent Apache cam paign was brilliant only as failure. If we remember rightly the Tribune had correspondent in the field during the pro- gress of that fasco, and is familiar with the secret history of the affair This knowledge is probably father to the dis respect for the department commander, which is exhibited in the following curt and cutting comments from the Tribune, on the arrest of General Carr: "We thought so. General Carr is charged with ''disrespect" to Gen. Wilcox, the commander of the department of Arizona the scene of the Indian war of last summer. It was disrespectful in Gen. Carr not to allow hls command to be massacred. It was disrespectful in him to come to life after he was killed in the bulletins. Gen. Carr has been guilty of disrespect to his competitors for promo tion to the coveted brigadiership every hour since his thirty years term of ser vice expired in not offering to retire on half-pay. Gen. Carr has always been dis | respectful to Indians, and we fear he has contracted a habit of general disrespect from long custom. Evil associations cor rupt good manners. We don't remember to have heard by mail or telegraph that Gen. Wilcox has been near enough to a hostile savage during his service as commander of the department of Arizona to recognize him with the aid of a teles- cope. This leniency to savages should 1 teach Gen. Wilcox to be little lenient with his subordinate, Gen. Carr. Not having come to close quarters with tht nasty" Indian, Gen. Wilcox may nor realize the degree of temptation to be dis respectful to which Gen. Carr has beer subjected. We suggest to Gen. Carr tha an easy way to touch the heart of Gen Wilcox, and all the hearts of all the col onels who want that brigadiership, would b.
 to get temporary release from the crue bonds of arrest and go out among the hos tiles and get massacred. Ii he will tell Gen Wilcox just what he proposes to do, "
 have no doubt the commander of the de partment of Arizona will detail him to tn
 service and allow him to go alonel

 TELEGRAPHIc confirmation of Hon. F. A. Tritle's appointment as governor of Arizona has been received. We have no personal knowledge of the gentleinan's qualifications for the position, but those of our cotemporaries, who enjoy the honor of his acquaintance, rate him high in executive ability, a.d credit him with full knowledge of the wants and ways of our people. One thing in his favor is the fact that he is not political pauper, sent hither as was his predecessor, simply in obedience to his party's obligation to pro vide him with means of support, but in stead, Is man of means and has large business interests here. Hence he has the stong incentive of personal interest to control him in the administration of the Territorial government. This, in con nection with the ability his friends claim for him, gives us hope of wise and eco nomical management of our Territorial affairs during his incumbency.

The Territorial government Is much the cheaper, and, for the present, will sup ply our needs in that direction. It is not so good for the politician, but it is better for the taxpayer, and upon the latter depends the future of Arizona. Nevada dropped her swaddling-cloth and put on pants in injudicious haste, and is now re- penting the overweening ambition that prompted her to the folly. We should avoid the mistake.

Public Spirit.

Public spirit in a community is the very soul of its existence. It Is the animating sentiment, the active essence which moves it forward in the path of progress It is the warm life blood of the power polite, the sustaining substance which gives strength, vigor and energy to all its acts. It Is the brain to conceive and the hand to execute whatever may be necessary or beneficial for it's welfare or comfort. A people who are devoid of this trait in their character, resemble an individual whose vital functions are deceased and who has dropped into slow decline. Stagnation and decay IS the certain end of a people who fail to cherish and encourage this practical virtue. Progress and prosperity, on the other hand, attend community are glad to see the leaven of this spirit abroad in Prescott and Northern Ari- zona. On its cultivation largely depends our future While it is no doubt a wise and a provident motto to Hook out for number one" it should not be forgotten that the interests of one are bound up with the interests of all, and the whole indissolubly linked with the destinies of the country. Those men who are alive to the public interests and use their best endeavors to foster them, will more sure ly in the end build up their own. Let us then, by all means, encourage this feeling of public spirit and enterprise. The time is close at hand when there will be an am. p.e field for the display of both, and or their vigorous application to coming events will mainly depend our future. = Prescntt LismOcrat.

SOME one has introduced bill in con gress for the admission of Arizona to the sisterhood of States. We doubt the wis dom of the move. While it would give us political influence, it would also entail upon us the support of an expensive State government.

THE English press calls Guiteau a typ ical American, and cites his character and his crime as the result of an hundred years of democratic government and soci- ety. In retort we may mention that the landlord and tenantry system of Ireland, with all it's attendant cruelties, and the barbaroas practice of tying prisoners of war to the muzzle of cannon hand blowing them into atoms, are the results of centuries of English government and society. The success of this democratic government is thorn in the side of Johnny Bull.

It is seven column folio and every thing in its makeup seems new except the ia miliar line, ''launched our bark on the sea of public opinion" which occurs in the salutatory. However, a salutatory minus that dear old expression would be departure from the timehonored form of salutatories, and would not be tolerated by the conservative and exacting public. The nu1eber before us is replete with news, and among other things contains 8 complete history of Dos Cabczas. The paper is published by J. o.
