The Country Editor.
AtIata Constitution.

Somebody has written up the country
editor IN about two columns of nonpareil
for a New York paper. The subject is
not SO Hnpromlsing as it may at first
appear. The country editor has a hard
road to trivial. He is the reporter, book
Keeper, mechanical superintendent,
business manager, collector, mailing
machine and soliciting agent of the
establishment. His work is hard. his
receipts small and his creditors numer-
Gus. In small town an editor has to
steer ms course SO as to avoid giving
ohense to different circles of society.
the religious denominations, the busi-
ness community, and the rural popula-
ton. 1t an influential old farmer wants
three column notice of his new barn,
It must appear or the editor may lose a
hundred subscribers. Patchwork quilts,
Olg beets and phenomenal eggs also
elamOr for space in the columns of the
country paper. In the course of time
the rural scribe becomes either iocose or
morose, butin either frame Of mind he
continues to make friends who demand
free advertising, and enemies who work
against him. The country editor is al
ways getting ready to abandon journal
ism for something else, but he rarely
carries out his threat, He generally
dies in harness. In some communities
editors sometimes meet with rough
treatment. Sometimes they are driven
out Of the country, and when other
methods of getting rid of them fail they
are sent to the Legislature. The city
editor gets a good deal of fun out Of the
country editors work, but the man who
bears the burden regards it as a serious
business. And in the best sense it is
serious. The little local weeklies scat
waypotential factors ofciyilizat1on. They
develop their localities, bring their re-
sources before the world and in a man
ner educate their readers, They are al
ways on the side of the churches. the
schools, progress and reform. Men who
live and die working for such objects
are public benefactors and deserve a
reward.

Depots for Immigrants.
Houston Post.

/
The constant flow of immigration tx
| the Southwestern States from all quar-.
! ters OF the globe should justify the city
OF New Orleans in erecting depot on
the Castle Garden system. We are moi
sure that New Orleans understands its
outy IN That direction. Day before yes.
terday party of Italians landed at the
wharf near the French Market, perfect
~ helpless and entirely destitute, and
We're Tor the most part compelled to
Or on the sidewalk. A description OF
the sufferings of these neonles which
can be found in yesterdays Post. is not
calculated to favorably impress foreign
ers with the claims of New Orleans as
a receiving point for immigrants. The
Santa Fe Railroad has depot at Gal
weston where immigrants are received,
properly cared for, and advised as to
their points of destination. Even in
far-oH Baird, on the road to Ell Pase,
tue Texas Pacific has cOmmOdions
mouse for Immigrants, who find there
COMFORTABLE lodgings and courteous
o1ncials to advise them as to their future
steps IN the strange and new country.
1eXan enterprise never stoops to half
way measures, and in the instance un-
der discussion, Texas sets q praise
worthy example to New Orleans. AS
yet, the. greatest portion of immigrants
that seek homes in Texas come by the
way OF New Orleans. The connections
OF that city with European enterprises
for the promotion of immigration are
extensive. We have right to demand
Ghat the strangers who stop at New Or
leans on their way to Texas should be
received with common hospitality. On
the score OF humanity, New Orleans
makes a serious mistake in not erecting,
or causing the steamboat interests To-
Gated there to erect, home for the
thousands OF immigrants that are
brought there from beyond the sea. A
great city cannot continue to thus trans
gress the laws of humanity without ul-
Glmateiy suffering for it. The fair fame
OF New Orleans is likely to suffer If this
omission is not soon provided. The ap-
pFoachlng gathering of homogeneous
elements at the Worlds Fair, is another
reason why New Orleans should in
stantly provide q home for immigrants.
An International exhibition like the one
contemplated will bring thousands of
strangers, a percentage Of whom will re-
main in the Southwest. The increased
knowledge of our section which will un-
result from an intelligent ex-
hlbItlOn of our capacities and resources
VIII attract q new stream of inmigra-
ton, the ingfess of which, into the Gulf
States, should be noted with care and
precision. And this can only be done
by the establishment of an immigrant
depot and the statistical aad intelli-
gence officers connected with such an
institution. The City OF New Orleans
owes it to herself and her public-spirit-
ed citizens, that immigrants, whether
they come from Mexico or from Germa-
ny, should not be compelled to pass a
sleepless night in her streets. 1t is i'm
polite to permit this, if our sister city
does not wish to hear that it is inhu-
man.

On Tuesday morning we went into
Dr. Kelly's store, feeling the cold very
much and knowing We would find an
excellent fire there. We found more
than that. "A company OF five or six
were sitting there and telling stories.
Among the rest was one that, though
told in a few words, brought forciblv 10
our recollection what we have more
than once heard, to the effect that stock
IN this section needs no feeding more
than can be obtained free from nature
n the woods and pastures. The story
was as follows: A certain man had d

day that he had tried everything to cure
the animal but without avail, and was
afraid it would die. An individual
standing by, of somewhat gawky and
lgnorant-Iooklng appearance, asked the
very pertinent question: Say, Mister.
did you try giving the horse some fod-
der r. Shortly after this we went out.
and saw an OK lying on the frozen

A Mysterious Disappearance Fully
 Accounted For.

Our town was somewhat excited last Tuesday over the report that J. M. de la Porte, an old miner of this district was
 missing and that foul play was suspected,
 as he was known to haze had considerable sum of money when last seen. From MT. | Carpenter of Cerbat it was learned that La Porte came over from Kingman with him in his blackboard on Saturday afternoon as far as Cerbat and that he then struck out for
 Mineral Park on foot, saying that he would be there in an hour. This was the last seen
 or heard of him and a searching party was at once organized, and a lot of Indians hired as trailers. The party took up the trail from where La Porte got out of MT. Car penter's blackboard and followed it until dark when they were compelled to desist. Early on the following morning the trail was again taken up and followed till 1t reached the Milk Ranch near town when it became so mixed up with others that it was unrecognizable. The Indians, however, secured the whole country in the vicinity and finally came across another track going out into the valley. This was compared and measured with that frst discovered and found to be the same. The party then came to the conclusion that La Porte had been up to his cabin above the Milk Ranch on Saturday night and had then struck out for the river without going to town. How ever, to make sure, Undersheriff Kuencer and Wm. Brider followed the trail about ten miles out into the valley where they met some Mohave Indians who told them that man on foot, packing his blankets, had passed through Union Pass two days before. The search was then given and everybody returned to the Park disgusted, though glad to find that La Porte had not been murder ed
 From MT. Breon, who came up from Fort Mohave On Friday we learn that La Porte crossed his ferry on Monday and that he was on bis way to Providence mountain.
 La Porte had been over to Kingman to get seven tons of ore sampled at Chamberlain's works. The ore went 67 ozs. in silver to the ton. instead of three or four hundred as he had expected, and it is supposed that he became disgusted and concluded to seek fresh fields and pastures anew.
 A letter was found in his cabin, stating that he was discouraged and going to leave and that he would send the money to pay his debts as soon as he could. He owed about $160 in town. Roe Bros. being the principal losers. Ia Porte has always borne good reputation here as an honest, | goodhearted and industrious man and he has many friends here who believe that he will come back and pay every cent he owes as soon as he can.

WHAT OUR MINERS ARE DOING IN THE DIFFEEENT DISTRICTS OF THIS
 COUNTY.

Messrs. Twiggs and Conkey are working on tue '64 olaiin near Chloride. They have over a foot of galena assayins g OF. in silyei and 55 per cent in lead. This claim Is ii, second extension south of the Schuykil mine and may turn cut to be just as valHa bic as the latter.
 pr. Burdick, of Mineral Park, was in the city yesterday, ard reports the prospects o1 that camp as better than ever before. The unusually heavy snows of the past winte. have done much to retard development, but the miners are getting to work again now and everything is going ahead. The Miner al Park country is destined to become famous in the near future, as one of the richest mining districts in the world.-Aibu, | querque Journal.
 W. c. Parsons, who has recently become tine owner of the Flores mine at Cerbat has already put two men to work on the mine and ou his return to this county will largely increase the number.
 A. E. Davis will ship another carload of ore to the Selby Smelling works at. San Francisco next week.
 Philip Hach has sold one-quarter inter est in the Infallible mine at Stockton to W H. Hardy. We hear that the consideration was $1,500. If so, MT. Hardy got good bargain. Messrs. Mackenzie, Southwick and Hardy, who now own this claim expect to put quite a force of men on very shortly.
 Very little work is being done in Cedar district at present on accoune of the heavy rains.
 Why don't some enterprising miners try and get lease of the Keystone mine.. This is good paying property and if the owners don't want to work it themselves they should give somebody else chance. No wonder Mohave county gets hard repu- tatiOn abroad when such mines as the Key stone are allowed to lie idle year after year.
 Miners here don't care whether a boom strikes this district or not, all they want is little fine weather so that they can get out some ore.

The western bound freight leaving King man about a. m. on Wednesday met with a serious accident about two miles and a
 half below town, happily unattended with any loss of life. The accident was caused by the breaking of a defective axle of one of the freight cars. The car was dragged along the track for about 100 feet tearing up the rails, ties, etc., and then thrown bodily from the track together with nine
 other cars, two of which were loaded with
 mules. another containing about twenty men, and the balance loaded with merchan- diss on which were scattered a few men, The train was a very long one and had on
 board Lail's outfit of men, mules, wagons, etc., on their way to the Sacramento wash where he has contract to put in several miles of new grade, and those on board may congratulate themselves on a very lucky escape. The only man who was hurt was a brakeman who jumped from the top of box car and severely sprained his back and ankle.
