a Young EdIIors Good Fortune.


About three years ago young boy
left Philadelphia to seek his fortune in
the West. He went to Colorado, and,
having had some experience in news
paper work, supported himself for
awhile by writing letters to the Chicago
papers. To use the native phrase Of
this country, he finally "got stuck. on
mines" He had been in the West
about year, when he fell in with an
old fellow, who was an expert mining
engineer. The two became fast friends.
The newspaper writer knew little about
mines and less about prospecting.
Then he was rather frail young man,
ill-ftted for such a hard life. He
drifted into New Mexico, and was
employed on the Las Vegas Gazette,
afterward getting control Of it. He
worked very hard, and divided his
earnings with the old miner whom he
had joined, without question. He
"grub staked" him for all Of his pros
pecting tours, and every now and
then. when he would come into civiliza-
ticn, furnished him the extra money
he required for spree and new clothes.
For two long years, in season and out
of season, this young boy stood by and
helped the miner from out Of his scanty
earnings.
al met this old prospector." said he,
".who is thoroughly educated man
and member Of the Royal College of
Mining Engineers. | had faith in his
honesty and ability. and for more than
two years our mining interests have
been inseparable. 1 have divided all
could earn with the old man ever
since we met, and, although it has been
long time coming, have never lost
faith in his striking it fat some day. I
suppose have given him $500 to
$4,000 in all, and would have continued
to help him as long as he wanted it.
1t was mighty hard grubbing for both
of US sometimes, but we stuck to one
another as though everything had been
sunshine, A few weeks ago he struck
it very rich, and, like the honorable,
honest man that he is, he at once trans
ferred me one-half interest in all his
claims, seven in number"
"Was he bound to be so Iberal?"
"Not at all. Everything depended
upon his sense of right. Legally he
was not pound to give me anything;
but he has more than justified my opin-
ion Of him as a man Of honor and abil-
ity."
"How rich are your claims?"
"The most valuable yet found about
Silver City, the richest mining region
Of New Mexico. Last week I gathered
up 465 pounds of the debris from the
diggings, took it to Denver and had it
smelted. They gave me check for
81, 1000 for the proceeds. This would
make the ore yield s6.40O per ton. I
think this is only fair estimate of
the value Of the mines"
"Will you hold and work themf''
81 have not yet determined what I
will do. 1 have just refused s75O,00O
for my interest in the property. But
it is worth, and I can get, a much
larger sum for it. I may sell, for L am
in love with my profession, and if I
made half dozen n....o..s 1 would still
want to be connected with newspa
per" Letter to Philadelphia Press.

SONGS.
ONE.
VOLUME v.

ONE.
One day is gladdest of the year..
One loveliest when shadows near;
One cloud floats softest, lone and high,
One star is brightest of the sky.
One tint lies fairest on the hill,
One glance flies brightest from the rill;
One whitest lily, reddest rose
None other such the summer knows.
Once come and gone the one dear face,
Forever empty is its place;
Only one voice the lover hears,
Sounding across the waste of years.
Only one spirit rules the breast,
Be it in waking or in rest;
Only one lays, at will, the spell
Subduing as when first it fell.
Of all the myriad things that prove
The human heart was framed to love,
Wise nature never suffers two
To mate the soul as one shall do.
SUMMER NOON.
A summer noon is this,
The trees are breathless, every one;
Underneath the shadow is,
And overhead the sun.
No mowers in the mead,
No children on the green at play;
Listless drops the thistle seed
Beside the travelled way.
Alone, the butterfly
Floats dreamily in lower air;
And circling hawk on high
Is all that's moving there.
The brook runs ever by,
But seems to pause the while it flows;
'Iis more like line of sky,
So placidly it goes.
EVENING.
Behind the hilltop drops the sun,
The curled heat falters on the sand;
While evenings ushers, one by one,
Lead in the guests of twilight-land.
The bird is silent overhead,
Below the beast has lain him down;
Alone the marbles watch the dead,
Alone the steeple guards the town.
The south wind feels its amorous cours,
To cloistered sweets in thickets found;
The leaves obey its tender force,
And stir 'twixt silence and sound.
John Vance Cheney, in the Century.

For several week the BELT has been trying to waken the press of Arizona to the danger of an Indian war, so that Crook might be reused from his lethargy, and some protection be given the people. Outside of Tombstone, not paper helped us; and the Pres colt, Tucson and Phenix editors laughed at our fears and called the Rip Van Wrinkle of Whipple Post, a "hero. " Look at them now! Led by that epitome of mendacity, avarice and syc- ophancy, the Tucson Star, they grow thirsty for blood; they reach for it as if it was vital to their being; the dove is all gone from them, they are hawks now; they strike at the quarry with bitter earnestness, but their beaks are mufled with the editorials which were so full of peace.

No Pardon for Lee.

We protest on the part of the peo- pie of Globe, Tn which town Lee com mitted the murder for which he is now in the Territorial prison at Yuma, and for which offence he begs the ex, ertion of the pardoning power of the Governor, against the bestowal of the executive clemency. It was cruel murder-he killed a blind man who had exposed him for making disgrace. full proposals to little girl; and only escaped lynching, because the slow. moving law got the better of an indig' nant and excited populace before the victim died. Governor Tritle has shown himself safe conservator oi the public interest, and we are satis' fled that he will be just as careful oi the public safety. There are enough murderers loose in the land, now without opening the doors of prison to let more out.

Crook told him, at San Carlos, that he was rubbing the h. dians against each other to make them fight, so that he could Whip them" If Gen.

The military authorities would seem 10 be preventing the transmission of telegrams as they did when Gen. Will COX was playing soldier in Arizona. Tho people demand information. This policy of battening down the hatches, and letting people die like rats in the hold of ship, is a wicked exercise of power. If Gen. Crook does not want to see Arizonans playing anarchists, he must not fill tho role of autocrat.
