ohcitu III NldOe AoI d uOIse UT du thing else, cuts no figure or bearing on their present value, CT future possible value" It cuts figure in just so much that no development work has been done on the claims since that offer was made, and the owner evidently knew the value of his own claims. There is quite a difference between the value of an Arizona horse and f6OOOO of good English money, although the price, which, it is alleged was paid or promised to be paid for the prop erty, is fictitious on the face of the article as published in the London ] Financial Journal. NIT. Plumer, whoever be Is, who is represented as the vendor. takes f45,OOO, or three fourths of the alleged purchase price. If that article is correct, an
 attempt is being made in London to
 perpetrate another mining swindle
 on this community, a la Patent
 Medicine Warmers. While We have
 splendid mining properties in this section, our mineral resources are not
 such as to be able to withstand the evil effect of such a swindling deal
 as is outlined in the Financial Jour nal.
 A full week has elapsed since election and we have not yet seen any mention of any populist victory. Populism has been on the decline for two years. While there are wrongs to be corrected in the ad- ministration of our government, they will, in the due course of time be wrought out, and thesgreat mass of voters are too intelligent now adavs to run after strange gods - renegade republicans CT renegade democrats, or renegade republican democrats, or renegrade democratic republicans, as the case may be, who may set themselves up as re- formers in some new party. In great majority of cases these self constituted leaders of so-called re- form movements, who profess to be wiser than the party to which they have been allied, are reformers for revenue only, for position and honor. It is true that not all are such. Now and then an occasional one is found with honesty and sincerity of pur- pose, who Is possessed of philan thropic motives and who is in real earnest in his efforts to benefit his fellow man. Such an one Is worthy of respect, however much one may differ in opinion from him, but they are so few and limited in number that no heavy drafts are ever made on the worlds supply of human re- spect.
 Certain physicians who have been in Prescott of late seem to appreci- ate what the people here have known for a great many years. viz. that our climatic condit ions afford superior advantages for the estab- lishment here of a sanitarium on quite a large scale. Talk now is that about $500 to S45, 900 will be spent on such an institution at an early date. From S25,0O0 to S30,0O0 will be used in putting up and fur nishing a building properly and the remainder will be used in advertis- ing it and defraying expenses until such time as ' could be made self supporting, ouch an enterprise could scarcely hope to start of with sufficient patronage to pay, but by judicious advertising and good man agement it would no doubt pay we'll within two or three years at most. There are few places in the United States, or elsewhere, for that matter. where rhe climate is so fav- orable for the treatment of throat l and lung diseases, particularly in l the summer time, and a ssnitarium located Tn the beautiful forests west l of town, surrounded by attractively | ornamented grounds could not fail | to become popular.
 The Mohave County Miner, pub- lished at Kingman, has entered the fourteenth year of its existence. 1t is one of the best exclusively weekly | papers in the territory, being well filled each week with general local news as well as an exhaustive review of the mining interests ofthat county Anson H. Smith, who has ably edited the paper for several years. has Ie- gently associated with him NJ. A. Sawyer, making one of the strong est editorial teams in the territory. It enters on its fourteenth year en- toying prosperity with even better prospects for the future.
 Durrant's attorneys have prepared the affidavit of their client to be read in support of their motion for q new trial on Friday, Novemb.r =.
