Great Newspapers.

It is the record of hnman life tha
 what are mistakes in o.dinary peo> plF are faults in people or papers who are great CT strong No man is strong in all things; no paper is |, or with human wisdom can be, right in all things. The greatest paper
 we have ever had in America, the
 paper made and edited by Horace Greeley, made the greatest mistakes of any great p aper we have had
 and yet it's mistakes were always
 honest and never venal ones, and the public al ways foreives honest errors Of judgement. Horace Greeley was SD great in himself thaa he could he wrong illlf the time and still wield more influence when he was right than any other dozen editors in the country, ard more than all the
 whole swarm of editors too narrow in footing and too small in mind ever to have courage to run the risk of making mistake. Sc as we do not look for perfection in m an, we do not look for 1t iu newspapers.
 We have the average men in this world, letting the great good they do outweigh the mistakes that they make, and we have to do the same with newspape rs.
 It is an average excellence and average power that make newspa- per great. If it makes itself unrival- cd in the field of gathering news, and in the general spac and merit of is daily average in reading mat ter, the public, who take it are not always going to require that It should never make mistake edItorially. Indeed, to be an editor every day in the week, and eighteen hours day, and to meet things as they come en the instant, great or small, and treat W ith tho m as they come requires man who has that nAneless qu ality which is not judgement-the thing that we call instiuct. There Isn ! lime 10 consider thIngs coolly there isn't always time to be sure, kndeed, the man. taking his bearing between head and heart, must decide al first sight and run the risk of being right, and we ra ther like the man who, in seeking to be on the generous side. is human enough 10 err on that side once Tn a while. We do not consi- der honest mistakes to be such dread ful and unforgivable things; we have made too many of them ourselves Heaven help the fellow too ungen- erous ard too cowardly to risk making a mistake in trying to be boldly right. The public knows how te put an editor on trial. It knows on sight whether he is wrong on purpose, or whether it is an honest error or error of q good heart. Il tries him, too, and for gives or condemns him and his pa- per for itself, without caring what | the people--made up of such cold l material that they can never be any thing but critics of successful men care or say.-Des Moines Register.

TIE numbers of fruit trees and grape vines being set out this season will make our wall ey noted fruit market within the next four years, upon which a large area of country will draw for their supplies. The nv mining camp, hundred miles south of IS, if it prove to be all that is expected of it by the bonanza company, will afford lively market Tor everything in the fruit line that the Salt river valley will be able to produce. At the Quijotoas our pro- ducts can be laid down as cheap, or cheaper, than anything that can be shipped Tn from California, as the difference in distance to be freight- ed by team is imT aterial. Should the camp be as prospersus as the country hopes, there will be 6 de- mand for the continuance of the proposed Phoenix and Maricopa railroad, southward from the latter point, 10 the new camp, matter that can be very readily accom- plished, as but little more is required than 10 pull up the sparse brush Shat is found over the plain and ie y down the ties and rails.
 Should the Quijotoas prove to build up a city. such as Virginia City, or even Tucson or Tombstone the day is not distant when we be- iieve the road we have suggested will be built, not only between the points indicated. but on south to Altar, and some point on the Gulf of California, possibly Guaymas, and northward to Prescott and june fIon with the Utah Central, which is slowly creeping southward. From Phoenix southward tLe obstacles in the way of building the road would be exceedingly easy to overcome: to the Dorthward tho building of the road would be more difficult, but re- warded by penetrating fine mining region, timber belt and coal field. To the south, ocean communication; to the north, the richest mining re- zion of the world.
 We thus briefly outline the pros pective destiny of the Phoenix and Maricopa railroad, which will doubt> :ss be built before anothcr year It's

The Capture of "NIicil'' Lee and
 .sKid'' Joy.

The last of the robbers, 'M ich'' Lee and Kid" Joy, were capt ured by party of ranchmen, for orses stealing In the latter part of De- cember, about the 18th or 29th, these two went down on the Gila river and stole two horses from Ly on & Camp bell, leaving one of their own, a worn out animal. The ranchmen banded together and went in pur- suit. They followed the trail into Apache county and to a ranch only ten miles from where Frank Tag> gart was captured, anu 165 miles west of Socorro, New Mexi.o. On arriving at the ranch the pursuers did not immediately make known tbeir business. Two of them sat down to dinner at the same table with the robbers, while three otbers remained outside. At signal the three ranchmen walked in with their guns cooked, and told the robbers to
 sURRENDERt
 Being taken completely by sur prise, they readily compiled, and while the three men held their guns on them, the two ranchmen seated at the table took the arms away from the prisoners. Although the coun- try was flooded by circulars sent out by the detectives, and they were in the immediate vicinity where Tag gart was captured, the ranchmcn did not know that they had succeeded in capturing the last two of the Gage tram robbers. They started back with their two prisoners and on the way home learned that they had captured the men who were the rings leaders in the Gage robbery. The prisoners were then turned over to the New Mexico officials and taken to Silver City, where they were lodged in jail.
 The detectives learned that while up in tn at country Joy and Lee were contemplating a raid on Santa Fe train, and had stated that it was a very easy matter 10 take in a railroad train, and the business was very profitable one. It is not known how far arrangements had been complet- ed, but from what has leaked out since the capture of the rascals, it is thought that if they had not been captured, there would have been a of the Gage outrage on the Santa Fe road befOre many more weeks.

Under such circumstan, -es we be- lieve it the duty of the government to refuse to recognize the claims that show certainly as many chances that they are fraudulent as that they are real, and we are morally con- vlnced that thIs whole matter is one of the boldest frauds.

 Without any disrespect 10 those gentlemen-for we believe some of them to be honest and upright whom the government has sent among us from the east, and who are ver1est strangers, without a home or desire of home or interest nmong. us, other than some wild spccula> ton, it is lamentable fact that such officers are frequently broken-iow politicians, who have put some man in power under obligations to them, and they must have their reward; or they are relatives of some office holder in a higher station. Such officers have no right 10 demand or expect the confidence of our people till they have shown themselves to be one of us by identifying themselves with us in a way that makes our success their snccess. Then, and not till the~, will the people of the Territory be wiling to submit their little all to the hands of such men with feeling of assurance that jus tice will be done under any and all circumstances.
 So far as the Reavis grant is con cerned, there is no man who is not morally convinced of it's frau ,ulent character; but, notwithstanding that circumstance, every man knows, and many of us can point to instances. where such outrsges have been pcr> mitted to be thrust upon the people, because the people were poor and unable to raise the money to defend themselves. In the Reavis business, every original man, either principal or witness, is dead, and there is nos thing under heaven left of living witness, even to the facts of the more recent signatures, but one single, lone, renegade and irrespon~ sible Mexican, who, it is claimed, was acquainted with one of the more recent hand-writings. Sup~ pose the grant was originally actu- ally made, there is still no iota of positive evidence that any man liv- ing has right to it. Reavis claims to show the original documents making such grant; yet if they be the evidence of an actual grant Rcavis has TO evidence that he has any lawful interest in it other than what any other man can manufac- ture for himself to show that he has also a claim upon all or 8 part. of it; and other men s-e doing that very thlng-.

 NEW YORK, Jan, 29.-The Trib- une says: It was reported on Sunday that syndicate of prominent cap italists of New York and PhIladel- phia purchased, on Saturday, large block of stocks of the N P !.

It is also said the sale has supplied the Oregon Transportation Company with all the money needed to sur mount the present difficulties, and go on with its business. The mem> bers of the syndicate are: Anthony J. Drexel, of Philadelphia; Drexel, Morgan & Co.,; Cyrus w.
