A Prescott, Arizonia, Courier reporter
asked miner few days ago for news
concerning his mines. The miner re-
piled that he did no newspaper mining,
but worked in the ground; which was
good as far as it goes, but one hundred
men might work In the ground for ten
generations and, we're it not for the
newspapers no one outside OF their
immediate neighborhood would ever
hear of IL Thay might have the best
prospect on earth, but no purchasers
would come and no outside investment
would be at hand, because the outsiders
would never hear OF it, without the use
OF printers ink to advertise the fact
Colorado owes its prominence in the
mining field as much TO newspapers as
to any other cause. Not to let the world
know that you have u good prospect is
to hide your light under a bushel."
The newspaper man expects no direct
pay for publishing good news about the
prospect he expects to pnt money into
circulation by attracting out side capital
to buy that prospect and work it, and,
IL he can do this. everybody will prosper.
II be is not allowed to do It, few prog
poets or mines will be sold no body will
prosper. This is the whole thing in
nutshell.

A Vicious Assault.

The Deadwood Independent Of last
Tuesday has the following:
"A vicious assault was made this
morning on Main street by well know
Deadwood man npon one of the most
widely known and respected young man
in the Hills, and a man entirely an
known to the party making the assault
Had ii not been for the interference OF
by-standers the affair might have re.
suited seriously to both parties con-
cerned
"The man assaulted was Charlie Cation
from Ragged Top, surveyor, the blow
was very hard one, and as Charley
was not looking for it, it is a wonder il
did not break his skull. The blow was
struck by Perry Ankeny, who approach
Mr.. Cation from behind and without
warning hit him. Mr.. Ankeny claims
that Mr.. Caton had kicked his dog
which was lying on the sidewalk IN
front OF Ayrers & Wardman's store, this
is denied by the victim Of the assault
who says that he ran against the dog,
and after doing SO even went so far as
TO excuse himself to the animal. The
gentleman who was walking with Mr..
Cation also affirms that the dog was not
hurt and that it was run into accident
ally. Mr.. Caton's head and face are
very badly cut and he will be confined
to his room for several days from the
effect Of the blow"

A Young Mans Capital.

The following excellent pointers on
capital" are given by the brainy editor
OF an eastern exchange:
Not long ago we heard q strong, well
built man complain because be had no
capital. He acknowledged that he was
sound in wind, limb and appetite, but
he enyied the man who had million.
Though, as a matter of fact, the million
are couldn't eat any thing stronger than
boiled milk and thin mush without
having his intestines tied up in fourteen
double bow knots which would require
the service OF five or six surgeons to
unite. The husky youth doesn't ap-
preciats the amount Of his capital. For
year or more man in New York who
has piled up two or three millions, has
made a standing offer Of million TO the
person who will make his eyes so he can
see. He doesn't even demand q first
class, up and up, pair OF eyes such as tire
husky youth carries around with him
every day, but just pair CT eyes that
he can catch feeting glimpse of the
beautiful old world with eyes that will
open the curtain Of everlasting night
that now surrounds him, and let in the
light and sunshine. If he could get
pair ofeyes like the husky young man
who is complaining because he hasn't
anything, he could call them cheap at
million. And that stomach of yours.
young fellow, that feels no inconveni
ence at diet Of pork and beans, Gu
cumbers and boiled cabbage, green
apples or bologna sausage. What do
you think that saffron colored dyspoptic
would give for stomach like that?
Why. he would pluck out another
million, and do it quick. And what do
you think that rich consumptive, who
has travelled all over the world to find
some climate that would prove healing
balsam, would give for pair lungs like
yours? Why, million and not hesitate
a minute. The fact is. If you only knew
it. our husky friend, you are possessed
Of immense capital. That pair of eyes
is worth million. The New York man
has fixed the price, but can't be supplied
on the market. That stomach is worth
another million. Many a man would
give more for as good one. That pair
Of lungs is worth a million more. There
are FIVE hundred men who would raise
the price for as good pair. That makes
three millions you are worth, TO say
nothing about the liver and heart
which are working full time without a
break or jar, and that robust set Of legs
and arms muscled up like an athlete,
which are worth million more. The
young fellow in the United States " no
has good health and an average head
piece is rich. He is king. He has no
more business to whine than the Prince
Of Wales or the Car Of Russia. Go to,
young fellow 60 to; brush the dust
fromthe bosom OF your pants and get
hustle on yourself. Your complaining
makes US weary"

The recent rise in the price of wheat
is solely attributed. by the populists to
the failure of the crops in India and
elsew here, but that reason don't seem to
serve in the case Of corn, cotton and
other products which have also recently
advanced in price. Just now it is deem
ed expedient, as q matter Of political
policy. for our populist friends to spring

mindful Of the fact that they hooted the
statement made by the republican
speakers, last fall, that the fall in the

Our populist friends now say that
wheat ought to be even higher than il
is. So it ought, and it ought to have
been higher than il Is now all through
the democratic administration, says the
New York Times, but there is no reason
Why II should be higher now than it
was then. Ifyou ask one of them why
1t should be higher now than last year
at this time they will answer on account
Of the shipment abroad. They have
not seen the figures. The fact is the
expectation of wheat from this country
was greater by six million bushels for
the first seven months of last year than
1t has been this year for the same
period. Last year $4,000, 900 we're ex.
ported from January l to August l
this year only 2s.0O0,OO0 bushels were
exported. Ifthen the foreign demand
is what makes the price wheat should
have rsen higher at this time last year
than it is now. After all their Judging
and seeking for excuses the fact remains
that the republican policy Of govern.
