 soldier is in jail and will do duty for
 sometime to the county.
 There is little paragraph in the
 ordinances of this city, that leads
 one to believe that it IS placed there
 because it is the desire of our peo-
 pie to enforce it. While it has served only to decorate the pages
 of the book it Is in, probably from
 the fact that no one cared to enforce 1t, Chief Prince took the matter
 Tn hand yesterday and gave it
 practical working test. The law Tn
 question is like similar ones in ex- istence everywhere, viz: "That all able bodied persons not having wis lble means of support, who are found lettering around saloons and the like, being out of employment" etc., must give a satisfactory ac- count Of themselves or else pay a fine of from Sl0 to $50, and failing to pay such must serve the city at the rate of Sl per day. Acting on the above, Chief Prince started the stamps dropping in his city quartz mill yesterday, and cleared up batch of seventeen from the plates. They were taken to Ling's retort and put through an amalgamating process this morning. which devel- oped many bright and glittering gents of the tin-horn brigade, a few who live by other means than that of gambling, and others whose existence Is hard to account for, when 1t comes to reaping or sewing m this life of industry. The fact of many of the arrested being attired in robes that would lead a stranger to approach them as mining capi- talists or co-workers with the gold bugs of the east, impressed our chief not a bit and he waded into their ranks with the same indiffer- ence that he would yank a railroad bum in dirty oyeralls from out of some alley. Here is where the roar" comes in to-day, and as the afflicted l were detailing in little groups their 1 tales of injustice, the scene was cer- tainly one in which human sympa- thy it would seem ought to be ex- tended for once to the affected. But l 1t cannot be. No distinction must | be made between men, for under meath even a Hassayampa overshirt | of ancient lineage there beats jusl as true a heart as ever throbbed | along side of the sweliest bosom of | a 'gent" made up m modern fault | lessness. It Is a question of cold law, and whether right or wrong, the hereafter or a higher court must answer. If a law is made for one set of men, it should be made for the other. If those men arrested have visible means of living and de- pend upon human ingenuity to sus- tain life, they have the opportunity to gain their freedom by proving it. The men arrested were given twen- ty-four hodrs in which to leave town, and in violation of doing so they will be dealt with summarily.
 PERSONAL MENTION.
 Miles Archibald left yesterday for San Francisco. He goes to have a painful operation performed, that of having his fingers on his left hand broken, which is absolutely before he can regain the use of that hand. He submitted to an operation of the nerves in the shoulder some time since, and the be is now to undergo is but what may be said to be in line pr sympathy with that performed before.
