Politics, an eastern publication,
describes the f,te of a newspaper
man IN the following graphic man.
ner: "3ut what what right has
newspaper man to aspire or seek
an office? It's his business to try
and get the office for the other fell
lows, to sound the praise Of the
candidate and keep quiet about his
own feelings; to whoop her up for
his man and lc. his man forget all
about him after he gets elected; to
defend his candidate against the
unjust attacks OF the opposition
and then see whatever favors his
candidate has to bestow 60 to the
other fellow. It's his duty to
boom the city for all it is worth,
month after month, and then see
SlOu worth OF printing go out OF
the city because 10 cents can, he
made by 50 doing It is the bust
ness of the newspaper to give every
local enterprise enthusiastic and
frequent ''send-offs" and then
catch sheol because he failed to
record that some prominent bust
ness. man had his delivery wagon
painted. To subscribe literally to
every public, charitable and church
enterprise, advertise them for
nothing, pay his way to everything
and then be called prejadioed and
mean spirited because a column is
not devoted to that particular af-
fair. Do you wonder that there
are SO many cranks in the news
paper .bdsinessq Ir is bound to
make either a crank or philoso-
pher out sof 4 man." s9F 20

Some years ago one, Blackburn
appeared at the Prescott land Of
dce and applied for a patent on 80
acres of land which he Had pre-.
iempted and, after due process, the
patent was granted, not before a
ledge was located on the land, how
ever. The land was next trans
ferred to o O. Bean and wife and
then to y. w. Clay: In the mean
time this ledge known as the Silver
King mine, had been developed
and was being worked with 'all
modern appliances, consisting of
quartz mill, etc. ea The mine was
very rich, the ore milling fromo6o
to 300; ounces silver per ton.
About 400 feet of development
work had been done on the mine
As an agricultural proposition the
land amounted to very little Clay
commenced suit to eject the Silver
King people and decision Of the
supreme court ofatthe territory re-
suited in his favor - The decision
was sustained on appeal The 20.
s. began suit against Blackburn
and succeeding ownersfso set aside
agricultural patent for the reason
that the land department. had no
jurisdiction to issue a patent to
Blackburn to the ground as agri-
cultural, there being, at the time
of said application, known mine
ON the ground--the Silver King
and Chief Justice Baker SO held in
the q 8. district court yesterday.
This will be good news for the
county for these valuable proper
ties, which have been tied up for. SO
long, can now be started up, giving
employment to miners and adding
to the wealth of the county-while
if, there are any agriculturists who
think they can ''raise row on
that land, their efforts will in no
wise be interfered with. The
property is located six miles south
lof Prescott. 0ia

The mining bill before the late
legislature became law and will
be in force from the date of it's
passage. This means a ten foot
hole on every claim located, within
ninety days from the date of loca-
tion. The law is intended to stop
the promiscuous locating of an en-
tire county by few grasping in
dividuals, and SO held indefinitely
by relocation from one years end

Peter Cooper once said, and very
correctly, too: "In all towns where
a newspaper is published every
man should advertise III it, if moth
ing more than card stating his
name and the business be is in. II
does not only pay the advertiser,
but it let's people at . distance
know that the town in which you
reside is prosperous community
Of business men. AS the seed is
sown so it recompenses."

"How to Select a Wife," is the
heading Of an article now going the
rounds Of the papers. This ought
to be great help to some men who
lack judgment. :. For. instance, a
Georgia man the other day, selec-
ted his neighbor's wife, and in con-
sequence received the contents of a
doubie-barreled shotgun. g =" ~
