AN INFERENTIAL CRIME.

Taken Back by a Suspicious Liy-
cry Stable Man.
Last Thursday. as all remember. the
weather was wonderfully pleasant.
About noon of that day, with the sun
shining as warm as In the middle of
May, a certain Reno gentleman, mar
ried man, called at Tom Hymers stable
to hire buggy. Hymers happened to
be on duty himself, and as his customer
happened to be gentleman who sci.
dom INDUCED in such luxuries, he
concluded to quiz him little.
"Who is going with your asked
Tom.
my wife's MOTHER" replied the Gus
toner. You see she is not well, and
l thought it would do her good to take
little fresh air; and wish you
would put spade and Ratchet in the
buggy, and an extra horse blanket, if
you have one."
"Anybody else going with you"
asked Tom after moments hesitation.
Just my mother-in-law and myself,
that's ALL"
what are you going to do with the
shovel and hatchet?" inquired the sur
prised stable man.
~ shall probably drive up into the
foot hills and want to dig up few
young cedars to plant in the cemetery
"Ah That's it, Ell? Well, l don't
think l can let you have rig"
"Why not ~
Because Z don't care about being
hauled up as witness every time the
Court meets"
n don't understand YOU
Perhaps not, but | understand you
When q man talks about taking his
mother.inlaw out to ride for health,
and wants a spade and Ratchet and
talks of planting trees in cemetery,
that's all l want to know"
but, my dear sir"
1t may be all right, my friend, but
don't propose to take any risks, not
if l know myself. When your trial
comes off you will swear that you can
not get fair trial in Washoe, and get
your case changed to White Pine or
Lincoln County, perhaps, and will
have to go there as a witness every
time the case is postponed or pay
fine of forty or fifty dollars. You had
better go to drug store and get some-
thing that will do the work quietly,
and then it can be called a case of sui
cIce or accident. Why don't you ask
me to put coffin in the buggy? With
Ratchet, a spade, coffin and an old
horse blanket you would be fixed. No,
sir, Pm not that kind of Il livery stable
man. Pm not in that kind of business
The customer listened with astonish-
ment to this little speech and walked
off without the buggy, and has been
ever since trying to find out whether
Hymers is man that drlnks.-Reno

Marshall Jewels eviction from
General Grants Cabinet was amusing.
Che Postmaster General had gotten
into the habit of giving advice concern
ing other executive departments, as
we'll as that over which he presided,
and the President had grown rather
FESTIVE under it. One day, after the
removal of Treasury Agent, Mr..
Jewell said, in his peculiar way, show
ing his dazzling teeth:
"Youhave been at il again, land, Mr..
President, don't you think you have
gone little too far in the matter?"
Grantdid not appear to like this, and
after awhile, turning to Jewell, said:
81 would rather have your resigna-
ton than your advice"
Jewell jumped up and left the room.
"The President gave me no reason
for asking my resignation" said he,
land I gave no reason for resigning."

MY REASONS FOR COMING OUT
 INDEPENDENT.


 In antiouncing myself as an Independsht candidate for Sheriff, I claim no extra privileges or benefits for myself. Everf other candidate is free to do ths sanis.
 The 457 or more votes cast at the Pres: colt primary; on the 18th ult, showed con; clusively that they enuld only have bseh obtained by unfair means and influences,
 If the Democratic party of this County is only created for the especial benefit of cliques, rings, or a few chronic oficsL seekers.-som of the delegates pledged from six to eight months prior to the Con Eention-then the sooner the Democratic voters find it out, the better it is for our party and the interest of the County at arge.
 In conclusion, I will state, i am hot l politician. All I ask for, is fair and square deal for all myself as well as stherss I have no money to buy votes; but l still announce myself IS an Independent candi- date for Sheriff, free and independent of any Clique, Ring, or any person or persons in Prescott or the County at large.
 Respectfully, DANIEL HATE.

ASH FORK, Oct. 2. 1884.
 EDITOR MINER Republican nominees have been with us, and we have been enter tained by the finest political meeti.g ever held in Ash Fork. We feel good, for no one can now doubt the vigor and strength of our old, tried and true party at this point. Our esteemed townsman, 4. G. Oliver, having recently built for his own use one of the finest store houses on the A. 6 P. line, we had the priyiledge through his kindness and hospitality of holding our meeting there. Monday evening bonfres lighted up the town and the heavy boom of cannon reused the people and brought them Tn crowds to hear first class performance: The building is large and spacious and was well lighted and seats prepared for the audience.
 The meeting was called to order and s: Nj. Rankin elected chairman. Col. 0. c: Bean was the fist speaker; and in remark able talk to the people, won their attention sympathies and the genera endorsement that he would be the tru{ted servant to represent them as their lext member of Congress. Certainlyl nuer, honesty and humor won general aP sbatiCn, Next in order we heard Col. b.

GONE OVER THE DIVIDE.

The late George w. M. Cowles who died in Jerome early this week left large circle of acquaintances who mourn his loss. The deceased was pioneer in both California and Nevada and had been engaged in min ing for years past. His comrades gave him good burial, the remains being followed to the grave by nearly every man in the camp. The mines were shut down and all the stores, saloons and boarding houses were c!osed and services conducted by the Cath olic priest, who was visiting the town at the time. To the many miners on this coast, MT. Cowles' death will be sadly received. His unlimited generosity to them in times of severe hardship was everywhere noticed and followed him from camp to camp. A few years ago in Nevada he acquired con- siderable wealth. but through the misrepre- sentations of men whom he had more than once befriended when str walton was near, and in one instance death staring one Tn the face, he lost all and was financially ruined. He arrived in our locality about two years ago, but owing to his feeble health, brought oIl hy exposure in former years, he was un- aAla to do but little itl his line of business. In Los Angeles, Gal, he leaves a son. the only relative we believe on this coast, At the time of death, Mir. Cowles was about tifty-fve years of age and native of In diana

SILVER MOUNTAIN.

Recent developeulehr south of the Tiger camp along Humbug Greek, and about the base of Silver Mountain, is attracting re- newed interest in that direction, and we hope the time is not far distant when some company with sufficient means will open up the Mammoth and other monster lodes that appear to constitute the principal nateria ofsswhich the mountain is composed.
 It is the opinion of miners and prospect ors, most familiar with the locality and formation of the cou ntry, that Silver Noun tain is the great feeder and fountain that supplies Humbug Creek with Its rich float rock and placer gold. The indications, we are assured, all point to this and the count less spurs and stringers that radiate from the mountain, and which evidently have their base in the Mammoth lode, some of which have been successfully worked by arastra process, all tend to confirm this opinion.
 The Mammoth, as has often been noted in these columns, is the largest gold and silver bearing ledge or lode known to exist, either in Arizona or elsewhere, and as it shows mineral in paying values, in all the various openings along its course across the mountain for distance of nearly two miles, it doss seem that some company. having the means necessary to develop it, and see what it really contains below the surface, would be attracted to it. There is, perhaps, no undeveloped property in any mining camp in the United States that offers greater in ducements to company that is willing, by the expenditure of a moderate sum of mo ney, to tske the chance of realizing au enor- nous sum. fthe property shall, upon be- ing developed, prove to be what the pros poets indicate, its value is beyond compu- tation.
 Of course, as in all speculations, there is a reverse side to the picture, and the money might be expended and nothing valuable developed; but such is not likely to be the case where the surface shows mineral for so great distance. and where the formation of the country is so decidedly mineral bearing.

An itemized bill of particulars, pub lished by the National Republican, shows that in thirty-one years of democratic administration the sums due the govern ment from democratic defaulters were S19, ,496, ,S51.16, all still due and unpaid. And yet the democrats claim that theirs is the party of reform, while the republi- can party is that of robbers and corrup- tionisls.

FIGURES.

Figures never lie, unless they are on a gas meter. The chief of the Bureau of Statistics, Mir. Nimmo, shows the great extent of our manufacturing interests.
 We are the largest manufacturing coun
 try on earth. The great growth is due to the fostering policy of the Republican party Sections have suffered through the legislation of the Democratic party, as, for instance, among the wool-growers; but wherever the Republican party has had absolute control, industrial growth has been steady and large. We consume five times as much of our own manUfac- lures as are exported from Great Britain ard Ireland to all parts of the world. We use 99 per cent of our products of wool; gold and silver, 95 per cent of our man ufactured iron, steel, leather and cotton, and 97 per cent of our glass, stone and earthenware. Under protective tariff we are enabled to feed, clothe and com fort laborers on our own soil. Undey free trade, we would be compelled to send abroad, not manufactured articles, but grain for the feeding of men who, in other lands, would manufacture for us. The artisan would become farmer, and two farmers would till the fields where one labors now, and the work of one would go to pay for the manufactured goods that he ought to be making in his own neighborhood, while part of the labor of the other would go to pay for freights. The best in favor of protection is found in the figures which indicate our great prosperity. Meanwhile, free trade England languishes.

The frantic endeavors that are being made to impress the public with the popu- larity of o. P. Head are becoming gro tesque in their absurdity. He is not popu- lar. and all the clacking of the Democratic organs cannot make him so There IS nOth ing either in his public career or private character to make him popular. He has none of that personal magnetism possessed by his opponent, and none of the charac- teristics that mark man for leader among his fellows. He is not expansive; he IS not sympathetic; he has been so long engaged in a career of self aggrandizement, and is so encrusted over with the shell of selfshness, that, if there -hss...v=zsA sAnArasA or disinterested feeling in the man, they cannot break through. Tine best that can be said of him is that he has been success ful business man and that he has more money than MT. Bean. In fact he has the talent for making money, the faculty of retentiveness, and the interests of c. P. Head are the god that he adores. It must be easy to be popular among Democrats, if he be popular.
