Friday iS all Right.

SLEEPY HOLLOW, June r. Editor JoURSAL-MINER. For the benefit of the Courier" will you kindly oblige an old time patron of your cosmo politan journal.
 The Courier" in commenting on the call for the peoples party con ference, stated that Robinson Crusoe O'Neill wanted a man Friday to meet him at the court house OF June 6" and also stated later that Buckley O'Neill ha. found his man Friday in lonely gulch up in the mountains an appropriate place for Friday, y,-in the person of yours truly.
 From the number that responded on Saturday, the lonely gulches' seem to be full of Fridays, and our name must be legion. Away back in my boyhoOd days, I read the his tory of that man Friday. He came to Robinson CruSoe running. fleeing, clamoring protection from the can nibalS that were seeking to devour him. Yes, Buckley, We also come fleeing from eannibals, a worse tribe than those Friday was fleeing from, the cannibals who have captured and infest the seat of government of our country, whose big chieftain IS the leecherous human blood sap ping Grover Cleveland. And for mutual protection. may We prove as powerful in battle and as faithful allies as Friday of Robinson Crusoe fame.
 The Fridays of the lionel gulches,' almost to a man, have sworn allegiance to the peoples party, and will rally round the standard of General O'Neill, which he has long and bravely borne. that of mutual protection and equal rights, confident that he will lead us to victory.
 And hid away in the fastness of the lonely gulehes are men fully as competent of assuming the reins of government as those who abide in the city.
 Were the miner to abandon the lonely gUlch." the COW boy the range, the farmer his blow. how long could the Courier editor stay in the city? Does he everlthink of that, We are the fountain head, you are further down the stream. All cannot live in the city. neither can all live Ia the mountains. Any person can abide in the city, but 1t takes a peTSCH away up in wOOdcraft to have his habitation in the noun tains.
 We admit you are as necessary to us as We are to you. We bring the products of our mines, ranges and ranches and exchange them for grub, clothes, whisky, newspapers and other necessaries of life.
 The Courier man could not live in the lonely gulches." He would go prospecting for news, get lost and the bears would eat him, and there would be no one to get out dOdger. Boy Lost"
 Do not infer that 1 have any but the kindest and most friendly feel ing for Prescott. Your Prescott is my Prescott. The tie is near and dear as old time friends, and in the pursuit of my vocation, that of prospector and miner, 1t makes no difference whether among the grand old snow capped mountains of the north, or the balmy tropics of old Mexico, I never forget my first love, and ever have a yearning, longing desire to be home again in my be- loved sun kissed Arizona. And while driving down the mountain side from my mountain home. when yet afar of, a beautiful panorama opens to view. Prescott, nestled among the waving pines, the grand old mountains, her guardian angels, peacefully reposes on the green sward. and in pleasant happy reverie me thinks of that beautiful city over the river. whose streets are paved with the golden sands. and there is but one spot on earth to me more beautiful, and that is my home, Sleepy Hollow"
