Encourage the Prospector.

From the Shasta, Cal, Democrat.
 The prospector, though poor and sometimes ragged. is the forerunner of capital and enter prise. By his efforts new mines and sources of wealth are discov- cred and brought to the notice of men of means. Capital follows him, and prosperity and a de- mand for labor ensue. Take the history of the last three months as an illustration of the benefits arising from the labors of the prospectors; see the number of men brought into the county and the thousands of dollars that have been expended for supplies, and what we have seen so far is only a fraction of what we will see in the future. By all means the prospector should have a chance, and nothing should be thrown in hls way to hinder or discourage him. He is not work ing alone for himself, but for all of us, and through his efforts the country will grow rich and pros porous.

"A Jolly Life.

An exchange dishes up the trials and vexations of an editors life in the following style: Editing a paper is nice business. If we bub- fish jokes people say we are rat tle-headed. If we omit jokes, they say we are an old fossil. If we publish original matter, they ''cuss" us for not giving selections. Folks say we are lazy for not writing something we do not see in other papers. If we glve a man a complimentary notice, we are censured for being partial. If we do not give complimentary mo- tices, folks say we are a hog If we do not cater to the wishes of the ladies the paper is not fit for a hustle. If we remain in our office to attend to our business, folks say we are too proud to mingle with our fellow men. If we go out they say we never attend to our busi- ness. If we do not pay our bills promptly they say we are not to be trusted. If we pay promptly they say we stole the money. If we wear poor clothes folks say business is dull. If we wear good ones they say we are in the pay of the railroad. Now, what shall We do2

A large party of citizens from Central City and Georgetown are now searching on the east side of the Mogollon range for the Adams diggings. Seldom ayear has passed but what parties have left in search of these fabulously rich d1ggings. One or two of the parties, it is stated, have before visited the section of country for which the expedition IS headed, and while the genuine Adams diggings, of which so much has been said and so little is really known, may not be in that particular part of the world, free gold in considerable quantity has been found there. The latest information of the Adams diggings comes from the Navajo country. The natives have found lake from the bottom of which they bring up large chunks of free gold. The exact location of the lake cannot be ascertained.-Silver City Enter prise.

A Chinese Oath.

In a Mongol murder case in San Francisco the following oath was administered to each of the Chinese witnesses:
 "This is to inform the spirits of the gods, also the evil spirits and the demons, all to descend here to hear, oversee and examine into the case of Wong An Foo, charged with murdering Loi An Cow. If I come here to swear profanely and tell the untruth, or not ac- cording to the facts of the case, l humbly beg the celestial and ter restial spirits to redress Loi An Cows grievance and to punish the false witness immediately and to arrest his soul. May he die under sword, or die on the half way of the sea, and have no life to return to China. This is the true and the solemn declaration of oath sworn by my Swn mouth and signed by my name by my owned hand. Dated this day, second month, in the eleventh year of Quong Soi."
 It IS believed that all who take this oath will testify truthfully, as the Celestials believe that if they should perjure themselves after passing through the ceremony they will die an everlasting death, and that the gates of the Flowery Kingdom will be forever closed upon them.
 A little over two years ago, not withstanding the reiterated warn ings given by the press of both Territories, and the constant con- tradictions by the Indian and army officials, the blood thirsty Apaches left their reservation and added about fifteen other murders to the long list of unavenged dead. Among their last victims was Judge McComas, wife and child. That our government did not at once avenge these peace able, unoffending citizens was simply outrageous; but to bring these murderous brutes back un shackled, unpunished, their hands still reeking with the blood ot women and children, feed, clotht and protect them until they art ready to start on another murder ing raid, unhindered, proves t; the Indians at least the paterna character of our government. Int indIgnities inflicted on that poo, woman, Mrs. McComas, demand redress. That the Legislatures o these Territories have met with out a single voice being raised il appeal for justice against thes brutes will cause the members t be long remembered by the people Advance.

The Bible as Prospector.


 From the Arizona MireT:
 H. H. White, who has been working on the Dunk1rk mine for sometime past, one Sunday; while reading the Bible under the largo pines east of the mine about half a mile, becoming absorbed in thought, unconsciously dropped the holy book in such a way that it fell over precipice about fifty feet high. Descending into the canyon to recover it, MT. White found it lying upward, open at the Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter vii, while a large piece of rich quartz, which had been dislodged by it's fall, lay on top, tearing jagged hole in the seventh verse, SO familiar to ali Christians: Ask; and it shall be given you; seek; and ye shall find; knock, and It shall be opened unto you" Ac- cepting this as a good omen, MT. White searched, and, in a few moments, succeeded in locating the ledge; which was over two feet in width and assays S225; on an average, to the ton. The mine is considered the richest thing yet struck in this district, and an offer of $5,000, made to the fortunate owner of it, was declined

Wealthy New York capitalists having organized themselves into what is known as the "Aztec Land and Cattle Company" have pur- chased of the Atlantic & Pacific R. R. Company, 100000 acres of It's land. Upon these lands they are proposing to place very large lot of cattle. Already a purchase of 35,O0O head has been made in Texas, at S17.50 per head, excluding beeves and two-year- olds. These cattle are to be driv- en to Albuquerque, from which point they are to be shipped. Their grazing ground is in Apache county. Over S1, 100000 has been invested already by this company in land and cattle.

It is said that the Wallapai Indians have never been known to steal horses, mules or cattle. Now if some learned anthropologist can devise method of innoculating a little Wallapai honesty into the pale-faeed civilization, he could live on sugar-coated fame for the balance of his earthly days.
