 \ telegram from Phenix says: One of the most important gold finds, as i far as evidence gees, has just been made near Phenix and close to the Arizona dam. For generation the story of an old Indian smeiter | which was located in that section | has been abroad. but it was given | the usual credit of miners myths [ and nobody paid any attention to it. Last Sunday two prosPectors were coming through canyon be- tween the precipitous mountains when they came upon the evidences of slag and picked up several hund- red dollars, half gold and half cop per. The pieces winch were found | weighed from one to three ounces and coutain the best quality of 1 Arizona gold. \ vigorous search is being prosecuted for the mine, l which is thought to be near by.
 F. N. Baker, who visited Prescott ] a short tune since. representing him. self as the representative of the l Mining Industry, is advertised as a | fraud and a blk. The Coeoniuo 1 Sun says that he duped a number of 1 ourcitizens for an iliustra ted write up which was to have been pub lished long since in the Mining In l dustry, and 1t Is probable that those who put up for it are out just that amount. The Sur adds that "wTite up men representing all manner of schemes to put money in their pockets, aud take 1t out of Flag staG, have been frequent visitors to this place and wa ara sorry to say 1t, successful in their schemes, and we do not believe that only in one instance did any benefit accrue for the town by the money given to these schemers. No town was ever built up by outside newspapers, The home newspapers do more to build upa town than all other means. If one half the money given to outside newspapers during the past year had been given to the sup port of the home papers, either one of them would be in position to add many new features to their pages. If there is any special sub Ject to he written up, give the home an opportunity to do it and then circulate your home pa per, and. d.Sou will work for the in terest of your town. The newspa- pers of Flagstaff patronize home exclusively, and spend all their money with the home mer- chants, and they labor necessarily, in season and out of season, for the interests of the town and country, and they should receive the hearty and open handed encouragement of every resident of the county"
