lmprints in the Sand.

The CHAMPION, in December last, made an item of the finding of man. moth foot print in narrow passage way in one of the gorges of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, by Charles Spencer, a miner and rancher of Mo- have county, Arizona, and his party, while prospecting in that section. The item was copied into Harper's Weekly, of January 10th. upon whic h they comment as follows:
 "According to the Arizona CHAMPION, pub lished at Peach Springs, A. T., two miners report finding series of footprints in Giand Canon, Arizona. The prints are in the basin of the canon, which was sand bed thous- asds of years ago, but which is now solid rock. In form they are such as would be made by bare human foot, but each one, the miners say, is twenty-siX inches long and twelve inches wide, and the depth of the im- print at the ball of the foot is SIX inches. Say that twelve inch foot goes to a six-ioot man, which is the draughJsmans rule, the man who made these imprIuts must have been thirteen feet in height. The imprints are ev- enly eighteen feet apart, which would inIi- cate that he was fairly bounding along. The mlners will return and cut out the s;one In which these foot prints are contained, and will exhibit them to public gaze"

Natural Gifts,

It is generally conceded by all who have investigated the matter, that the Hon. Pat. Hamilton has given us a fair and impartial statement of facts in his "ReSources of Arizona" Es- peCially do we think he has avoided exaggeration, and his entire book is marked by direct, moderate and truthful treatise of the subject matter. MT. Hamilton estimates the quantity of timber per acre in this belt at twenty thousand feet, with an area equal to the entire state of Maine. The geographical position of this i'm mense forrest will, with the introduc- tion of capital, give it the control of the lumber trade of the great south west. Almost every acre IS excellent grazing land, while the parks and val leys produce bountiful crops of all kinds of vegetables and cereals. Yav- apai county has in the past, yielded more gold than all the rest of the Territory combined. A careful in vestlgation of our resources will be a marvellous revolution 10 those who have always believed Arizona to be a barren desert.

"Pang,nge,' is the favorite short. card game in Prescott at present. It was introduced by the southern members of the last legislature, and is the only relic worthy of special note left by that body.-Prescott Miner.
 Both the old and new administra- tions, respectively, of the Miner has made practice of belittling the leg islature after its adjournment for the past eight years. To see the proprie- tor of the Miner cooing around legis- lators at the commencement of each session, begging for patronage, and always receiving several thousand dollars for the sesSion'S work, one would suppose that the members were mighty, and the editors fattery runs like a river! But once away, the Mi ner not only has no further use for them, but must call them everything but honest menl The treatment the members receive from that paper may be remembered by some of them when the proprietor starts out on his beg ging tour in January next. Panginge is Prescott offspring, conceived and brought forth there, and we should presume the editor had been taken in by 1t.

The Peach Springs Champion wants the salary of our legislators raised to sS day. Bro Fay must expect to be member of that honorable body next winter.-Apache Chief,
 No, MT. Chief, we are not an aspi- rant for the office. We were a mem- Der of the legislature when Apache county was formed out of Yavapai, and know something of the trials of an Arizona legislator. Four dollars per day don't pay admission fees to hops, and if all members were not strictly temperate, (ask Sol. Earth, they wouldn't be able to get out of the town at the close of the session.

Little Steve, Judge Lemon and Colonel Rowe are the three strong Democratic candi- dates who may be pu; forth to contest for congressional honors.-Tucson Star.
 The three names mentioned above are gentlemen well known throughout the Territory, all having served in our Legislature, and have taken a prom, nent part in all public measures ben efcial to the whole Territory. MT. Stevens was a member of the Elev- enth Legislative Assembly, from Ora ham county, where he served the peo- pie more than satisfactorily. W. A. Rowe was Speaker of the last House, and as the writer was Chief Clerk of the Assembly, and in close intimacy with the Speaker during each day's session, knows what he speaks, when he says that Hon. w. A. Rowe was the best presiding officer the Assem- ply of this Territory has ever had. Quick in his rulings, possessed of a thorough knowledge of parliamentary law, prompt, courteous and decisive as an officer, he had the respect and es- teem of the entire House. Judge Lemon was a member of the last Council, where he made a brilliant record as ready and influential de- batter, and. returned to his home with great honors, having represented his people ably and satisfactorily. Either of the gentlemen mentioned above would prove strong candidates in the congressional campaign.

UNITED VERDE COMPANY.

The United Verde company is doing its best to procure a supply of coke for the fur mace. Efforts to get a road from Flagstaff will hardly be successful. The place is too highly up in the Mountains, too far from the district; then. the formation of the country lying between Jerome and Flagstaff is such thdt 1t would take almost constant labor to keep the road in good condition, while the road to Ash Fork, by way of Chino Valley IS not bad road to keep up. The bed of mal- pals which girdles the Mongollon mountains is great obstacle in the way of making a good road to Flagstaff. It. with deep snows, put the matter entirely out of question: Prescott Coulter.
 We learn that recent experiments with coal at Gallup, produce fair quality of coke, and the United Verde company may find it available. Per haps Flagstaff has an advantage in be- ing some seventy miles east of Ash Fork, that will compensate for her el- evated position in the world. Our knowledge of the country teaches us that road from Jerome to Ash Fork, crossing as it does the breaks and foot hills of the Mogollons and Bill Will Hams mountains, cannot be construc.- ed with a uniform grade, like a road from our town to Jerome. We are 70 miles nearer the coke, and as near the camp as Ash Fork. The route has plenty of water and wood, and excellent range, and tap the A. x P. road at the cheapest market west of Albuquerque. The road will follow a divide greater porion of the way over over which good road is already built. We do not think our neigh Dor can afford comparison of the two routes.

THE FLAGSTAFF MARKET.
Wholesale and Retail Prices.
Low Figures and Quick Sales the Motto
 Of Our Merchants.
Quotations Worthy the Attention of Retail
 Dealers.

It may not come amlSS for the readers of the CHAMPION along the line of the A. x P. road. to under stand that Flagstaff, as mercantile center, possesses all the advantages of a metropolis for trade, our merchants carrying heavy stocks of goods, and do an extensive business, both whole sale and retail. Situated as we are, far away from mart centres, it IS sur prising to us that goods are sold so cheap, far below what they can be purchased for at any other point along the railroad, and taking into considera- tion the money saved in freight by or dering from this point, there is money saved in getting supplies from Flag staff, in small or large lots, as busi- ness requires. Our merchants are supplied by the car load, at advanta- geous freight rates, and are thus en- abled to dispose of their stock at prices which have no competition out side of the large cities at either end of the railroad. The immense ware houses are crowded with stock, and each are receiving daily large invoices thus keeping the supply fully assorted, so that an order, no matter how large, can be filled and delivered, while an order is making its way through the mails to the larger cities east or west. The amount saved in freight to the purchaser is an item which derives profit to the smaller merchant, and this alone, when once investigated, will influence dealers to turn their at tention this way. The vast amount of supplies at wholesale going to the interior from this point necessitates the carrying of large stock by our wholesale dealers, and as the trade in creases so will the facilities to meet the demands. Flagstaff now supplies largely both consumers and small dealers in all directions to a great ex- tent, at prices which they cannot be laid down for from distant cities, and the growing trade is an evidence that the people are awake to the enter prise and fairness of our wholesale dealers. The time is not far distant when Flagstaff will be the point of supply for all the smaller towns within a radious of hundreds of miles along the railroad, and our merchants alive to the growing importance, are ex- tending their accommodations to meet the growing wants of the trade. More commodious warehouses are to be erected in the early spring, and while now there are goods to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock at this point, the storage ca pacity increased, supplies to a far greater extent will be kept.i stock. We give below an outline of prices as they exist at present:

What It Means.

The nomination of Jas. G. Blaine and
John A. Logan for President and Vice
President means a brilliant and aggressive
canvass and a splendid triumph.
1t means that the People of the United
States .ltend to have thoroughly Amer
lean administration, one which win not
only contribute to the prosperity of the
country, the upbuilding of the material
industries, and the eleyation of the labor
ing classes, but will make it an honor to
claim the name of an American citizen.
1t means the end of the sickly, disgust
ing affectation of everything English
which has transformed New York, Boston
and Washington, into an animated exhibit
tion of English snobDery, and merited and
received the pitying contempt not only of
those who glory in the land of their birth,
but of those who are the objects of i'm
itatiOn.
1t means the assertion of the robust
masculinity of the New World-the gen.
uine manhood of the Nation.
1t means that the United States is to
take that stand in the Congress of nations
which is hers by reason of her splendid
domain, her resources, and the achieve
ments of her people.
1t means that every citizen entitled to
the rejection of the American flag shall
receive that protection as right.
1t means the enforcement of laws for
the benefit of American interests.
1t means the substitution of semi
English by thorough American policy.
And to Virginia it means the dawn of a
better and brighter day for all her people.

The Platform.

The platform adopted at Chicago will
meet the approval of all true Americans
who appreciate the needs of the country
and are looking forward to future wOr-
thy of the achievements of the past. Its
utterances need no explanation. They are
plain. straightforward and easily compre-
hended. They define the issues sharp and
clear. Nothing is left to doubt. No par
agraph needs explanation. Each speaks
for itself and admits no two interpreta-
tions, and in every instance the good of
the whole people is sought. Upon the tar
iff it will be specially acceptable to Vir-
ginians, and its declaration in favor of a
restoration of the duty on wool will meet
with the hearty approval of our farming
community.
We commend the document to careful
study of our readers, and shall take oc-
casion in the near future to comment ON
it more at length.

A RINGING, AGGRESSIVE PLAT
FORM.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1884-06-12

Our Democratic friends are taking en-
couragement from the detection from the
Chicago ticket of several newspapers
which heretofore supported the Republic
can party. Each of these papers is af-
flicted with free trade leanings, and the
nomination of such pronounced protec-
Zionist as Mr.. Blaine naturally displeases
them. But this is nothing uncommon in
them. In 1872 bolt was organized with
the motto anything to defeat Grant" in
advance of his nomination in that year
The leaders included several men of ma
tional reputation and some OF the ablest
journals of the country. Sumner, Trum-
bull, Upton, Ferry, Schurz and Fenton-al-
once United States Senators many 9TH
er politicians of note, such as Long John
Wentworth, Stanley Matthews, Gen.
Cochran, Judge Hoadley, Gov. Curtin, Dr.
Skinner, Waldo Hutchins, Julian and Col.
Mcclure. Charles Francis Adams, Horace
White. Theodore Tilton, William Cullen
Bryant, David "A. Wells, Edward Atkinl
son. and many others Of distinction. The
New York Tribune, Springfield Republican,
Cincinnati Commercial, Chicago Tribune,
New York Post, and other lesser lights, all
bolted the Republican party and sup
ported Horace Greeley, the most pro-
nounced Republican editor in the country.
But the bolt did mot succeed in its pnr-
pose. The great mass OF the Republican
voters were true to the party and its NOM
inees, just as they will prove true in 1884.
Indeed, when the naked fact is presented
that either Republican or Democratic
administration has to be accepted, the Re-
publicans who will bolt the Chicago nom-
nees, will be substituted by twice the
number of Democrats who will support
them. Such detection will only have the
effect to arouse loyal Republicans to their
duty and stimulate them toput forth their
best efforts for the cause.

congratnlating themselves that the nomi
nation of Blaine kills Malone. That il
about all they knew of it. Had they beer
in Chicago, and witnessed the respect paid
to Malone by all the delegates present
whether friendly to Arthur, Blaine or Ed
munds, and observed the hearty welcome
that was given him and the delegates he
represented. they would keep quiet on the
subject. But let them have their say
AS the canvass progresses, wewill endeavol
to enlighten them about a thing or two.
Bourbon misrepresentation will not prevent
the electoral vote of Virginia being given
to Blaine and Logan, whether Malone is
killed or not. Mark that.
d If President Arthur stood high in the
esteem of the country, because of his wise,
conservative and clear administration, be-
fore the Chicago Convention, he stands in
finitely higher now that the Convention is
over. No man can put his finger on one
improper act or proposition by any Of his
friends during the progress of that Con-
vention. There was no Federal inter-
ference-no ofiiceholders' organization
nothing that could in the least reflect upon
his purpose to let the representatives of
tine people, as there assembled, be abso-
lutely free to vote their choice. His
prompt dispatch to Mr.. Blaine pledging
his support, too, showed his devotion to
disparity and his honest purpose to do what
in him lies for its success. A.M
