PETTINGILL'S AXIOMS.

Business Truths Proved True by a
 Well Known Advertising
 Authority.
 There is no keener student of human nature than the advertisement writer. Physicians prescribe different treat ments for different systems-adver- tisers' cases also have to be diagnosed. In blood poisoning radical meas ures have to be t. en-bad advertis- ing pOisOns the business system. The preparers Of successful adver- tising are scarccr than prosperous bankers.
 Nowadays it's ''the survival of the fittest." The moral is eyiGcnt-adver- tise.
 There's a golden lining to every cloud, if you will only advertise right. A good bank account gives a com fortable feeling-advertis can tell you about it.
 Progress prevents poyerty-if you do not go ahead, some one else will. likeness breeds mischief-you will not be idle if you advertise properly. Would you rather be important or unknown? Advertising makes health. wealth and happiness.-B Boston Herald.

scouT RuRNHAMs DISCOVERY.
The Total Absence of Leading on the
 Part of the BOers.

Part of the BOers.
 People of Yavapai county are in terested in one figure in the English Boer war, particularly. It is that of F. R. Burnham, the well known scout who formerly resided here. In re cent telegram Mir. Burnham gives a description of the BOer trek from Kornspruit. Mir. Burnham says:
 lowing to q report that the Brit ish had occupied Brandfort and were moving. to Winberg the course of the convoy was altered and the BOers pushed forward with increased speed toward Winberg. They expected cav airy pursuit every hour. and the con voy was protected with the greatest care and subtlety. the road being taken between kOpjes held and evacuated in succession by rear guards. The trek proceeded throughout Sunday and Monday morning the convoy was ten miles from Winberg."
 Mir Burnham, explaining the BOer method of obtaining the range for rifle fire. says: "One man fired sue cessive shots and watched tke dust raised by the bullets until accuracy was obtained, and he then communi- cated the range to his comrades"
 Mir Burnham also mentions the way in which work intrusted to men with tired horses was immediately taken up by others with fresh ami mals if occasion offered, the newcOm CTS being given instructions and the range of the men whose places they took. He was struck by the 'eXtra- ordinary fullness of the instructions given by the commanders to the men before any movement was begun" These included information as to the route to be followed. the intention of the movement and the different ren- dezvOuS in ease of either victory or defeat. Another thing that impressed him greatly was the total absence of leading" in some instances every man having received instructions and carrying them out independently and as speedily as possible.

IE EEW EaA.

Iu orde1k to give readers of the Weekly 1sFnal-Miner the benefit of aII.Ssss r hding matter which appears s'f6. the q lily issues from day to day it is comkened to issue sa eight-page editio4 this week. Ihss feature yssli proby bly be a pev4ssnent one..ast'Sough the bmee.ssff6t entirely re-erganized ysk since the advent Of the new .flachinery for setting the type. One thing is fully decided cron. how ever. and that is that the weekly edi- ton of the paper will surpass in the amount of it's reading matter any weekly paper published in Arizona.
 Owing to the fact that Prescott is not on the line of any news circuit. and in order to obtain a telegraph re. port. it is necessary to secure it as a special and at an expense above what the income of the office will at present afford. our efforts will be de voted to making q speciality of local and mining news. and thus make it interesting both to readers at home and valuable to send abroad to peO- pie wanting news of the territory.
 To accomplish this purpose the CO., operation of our friends throughout the country is needed in a twO-fold manner; first to apprise us of the news in their particular locality and second to speak a good word for the paper to their friends and get their patronage for it if possible
 A newspaper is but q reflex of the community in which it is published, and good newspaper is only possible where it is given a generous support by the enterprising people of the com munity. Just in proportion to the patronage received will improvements be made in the JOurnal-Aliner. as our ambition is to give Prescott and Yav- apai county the best paper published in the United States, in town and county of equal population.
 In the matter of new subscriptions the past week has been an unusually satisfactory one a greater number of subscribers having been added to both the daily and weekly lists than during the same period for some time. IL is hoped that this good work will con tinuc with even greater results.
