Tricks of the Range.

Henry Barrett and Bud Jones while riding the range southeast of St. Johns came across the carcasses of three steers which had been killed Sheep herding beef-esters are becoming very sharp nowadays in hiding their work
 They will kill steer, strip the hide from one half the carcass, cut all the meat from the bones on the side skinned, turn the animal over SO that the side unskinned will be uppermost and have the appearance of having been unmolested. Any one riding the range coming across the carcass would naturally think the animal had died natural death, but if they would take the trouble to investigate little more closely, would find that half the hide, as well as half the meat was gone. A mayordomo for large sheep man in New Mexico, and to these gen tlemen, in speaking of the case of Brown and Carr, charged with killing one of Judge Pratt's cattle, that they were fools and that he always killed his beef in the brush; that if any one should ride up on him when he was en- gagged in the job, that he would try to kill theman. We have no doubt that the fellow told the truth, and that he did, and would do just as he said The man who employs this fellow is good citizen, and we do not believe would uphold his employe in such rascality | ii he knew it. These gentlemen should acquaint the sheep-man of the above facts, and request him to dis charge his mayordomo at once. w. believe that he would have no hesi tancy in doing SO, if made acquainted with the facts.-St. Johns Herald.

Old Ironsides
lPrOSnentnr

A historical subject for a lengthy article for the columns of a larger daily than the Prospector was to be seen harnessed up to P B. Warne- kros' wagon this morning. It was "OldS SIronsides," the mule that packed the first ore down from the Grand Central mine in the spring of 1879. Although not ornamental the animal is still useful. He stands with his four feet touching each other and his back bumped in the air like water shed, which caused many passers-by to predict rain within twenty-four hours. The mule has been put to many uses since his advent in Tomb stone. He was captured by Geronimo during his raid through Cochise coun- ty in 1882, and taken by him into the Sierra Madre mountains. When Crook held his powwow with Geronimo the latter was riding 'Old Ironsides." c. s. Fly photographed Geronimo and the mule, but lost the negative It was related by one of the Apache prisoners that the band being hard pushed by Crook, and being without food, Geronimo ordered mule killed for breakfast. "Old Ironsides" was chosen for the first meal He was brought out and squaw drew bead upon the mules forehead and fired. She to all appearances missed the mark and fired again and again, but the mule never moved a muscle Tie braves gathered around and upon in vestigation it was discovered that nine bullets had fiattened upon the animals forehead Crook, when he heard this story, gave the mule the name of "Old Ironsides," although he always doubted the story. The mule broke loose from the party on the way back and was found at Joyce's ranch several weeks afterward.

 AT Inst the progressive political spirit of the American people has ad' yanced to a point of assimilation with the peculiar ideas possessed by "COl- onel" c. E. Dailey, former Receiver of the U. S. land office in this Terri tory under a republican administra- ton and Register under democratic rule, and he is now in the swim of the Independent Nationalist party in Cali fornia. Col. Dailey's partisanship has hitherto been influenced solely by the magnetism of office and the vane of his political affiliation always pointed with unerring certainty toward the dominant party. His statecraft was far in advance of the common politician and his apparent vacillations were but his pauses by the wayside while watt ing for the procession to overtake him. At last, however, he reached a point where consistency forbade further pro fessions of fealty to either of the great political parties, or both of them, and he has since groped about in search of some latch-string sufficiently elastic to harmonize with his conscience. This led him directly into the councils of the Nationalists who look to a govern mental absorption of the material in terests of the people and their support and care at its hands; the abolishing of taxation and the creation of fat of fees for everybody. Here Col. Daley found his ideal party and it's principlei at once enlisted his full sympathy and empty services. He is willing nay anxious, that the governmen shall confscate all his vast possession in exchange for the emoluments of of flee, and he is ready even to forego tn, pleasure of paying taxes upon hi valuable Waterbury watch in further ance of the great cause that has ab sorbed him and in which he is recog nized as talented leader. In fact h, was never known to stultify his prin ciples by paying any taxes what ever.

Hay In Prescott.
Prescott Journal-Min CT. }

With hay selling in Prescott at from $25 to $50 per ton, the supply is not equal to the demand and one of our merchants yesterday informed the Journal Miner that he was about inn porting car load from California. And this too, while hay at Phenix, one hundred miles south of us, is rotting in stacks for want of custo- mers at from $3 to $5 per ton. The urgent necessity of connecting rail road between the two places can be seen by this condition of affairs.

A PUBLIC journal pledged to a fair, open, impartial and fearless discus sion of public matters, necessarily invokes the antagonism of those whose dark methods are subjected to criticism and their little schemes laid bare to the gaze of the world. The old couplet which reads
 ''No rogue e'er felt the halter draw,
 With good opinion of the law"
 Cleverly illustrates the sentiment of those whose questionable operations are interfered with by the press in the performance of it's duty to the people, although some of them are sufficiently discreet to suffer in si- lence. A mere line or two of inno. cent information to the people upon a topic that interests them is some times construed as deliberate design to do some one an injury where its suppression would be direct source of profit, but the press would be dere hct in it's duty to the people did i shirk the responsibility of uttering it THE ENTERPRISE has invoked sucf individual wrath in many instances but the judgment of time has nevel failed to confirm the justice of itl position.

THE ENTERPRISE is somewhat sharp ly criticised by the Prospector for publishing communication from it's Tombstone correspondent. Our con temporary should bear in mind the fact that THE ENTERPRISE does not select the words that it's correspon- dents employ. All its correspondents are reliable e,substantialand responsible, men who, if they commit seeming in justice, are ready to personally meet the aggrieved party and settle the mat ter in an amicable spirit. These columns are always open to free dis cussion of public men and measures, even though they do not express the views of its publishers, for out of il may come a better understanding oI the matters treated and substantial benefits to the people will result.

AT their recent regular meeting the board of supervisors of this county were called upon to audit unusually large bills from the justices courts, and more particularly from Casa Grande. It is stated that this precinct alone presented accounts aggregating about six hundred dollars in fees of the justice, constable and it's several dep uty sheriffs; and it has been said that very large portion of this amount came from the most trivial infractions, or alleged infractions, of the law, of which no official notice should be taken. The evils of the fee system is conspicuously apparent in this in- stance and it shows to what extent a combination upon the part of petty officials can raid the treasury under cover of the law if they so choose to do. The supervisors possess no dis erection in the premises and so long as the charges made are unquestionably lawful the accounts must be audited The responsibility for this state oi affairs rests almost entirely upon the the justices of the peace and in view of this fact the people should exercise the greatest care in selecting men fol that position. A few instances of the character under discussion will burden the county with a rate of taxation that will retard it's prosperity foI 1 many wears

Our mines are beingdeveloped with all the energy and with as great sue cess as could be desired. Our camps are rich in mineral, and with the aid of capital that is now pouring into our Territory, our mines will begin to produce bullion in large quanti- ties.
 MT. Geo. Blanc who is developing the Silver Twig mine, made a shipment of high grade ore from this celebrated property last week. This shipment is fully as good ore as that shipped here tofore, which milled from two to three hundred ounces of silver per ton.
 The future of Clifton is exceedingly bright. Its peculiarly happy location as an ore-distributing point, and rich country by which it is surrounded on every hand, compels to the conclusion that it must of necessity be in the near future, a camp of importance, and that it's prosperity is, as yet, in it's infancy and our future cannot be pictured by the most vivid imagination
 One of our townsmen put in several unsuccessful hours fishing the other day, came back so town, drove up tc chinese restaurant and bought three fine fish, and as he sat in the buggy had the Chinaman toss them, one at g time, to him, so he could catch them remarking that he could tell his wife he had caught them, and she knew he would not lie for three fish.
