The majority Of Prescott bust
ness and mining men are pro-
gressiye and an up to date lot,
almost always glad to see develop
ment work started in any of the
districts tributary to Prescott, but
this vampire tries to make out
that a property is valueless, unless
he can get his dirty fingers into it,,
which he seldom does if the owners
are honest men or judges Of human
nature. If Mr.. Pendegast will fur
nish us with a photograph of his
beautiful and beneficient counte-
nance, without retouching, we will
take pleasure in publishing it, SO
that at least few easterners will
know the man whose methods are
no credit to Prescott or Arizona.
We also offer him the use of these
columns, freely and without re
striction and would like to hear
his reasons for knocking the mines
of this section, mines which he has
never seen and never taken the
pains to visit.
We do not think the people of
Prescott will approve Of such work.
The mining interests of Arizona
will never be advanced by any
such work as this.

BAD BUSINESS.

The NeWs-Herald is in RECEIPT of
information from eastern subscrib-
ers to the effect that a Prescott
mining broker" has been writing
them, saying that he understood"
that the Angel and Bess groups
near here were Of little value and
muchly overrated and not to be
compared to properties he had
stock for sale in at a much less
price. We have before US quotat-
ions from his letters but have sent
for the entire letters, which we
will publish upon their arrival,
just to show the honest and pro-
gressive people Of Prescott what
kind of a viper they are nursing
in their midst and what an injury
can be done the mining interests
by an unprincipled rascal.

MINING DIVIDENDS.

The Calumet and Hecla mine in
Michigan, has up to date, paid
$78, $4,000 in dividends, yet it is
but low grade proposition, says
an exchange. The Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company has paid
dividends amounting to $19,8OS,
1877, and those dividends have been
made altogether out of coal mines.
The Amalgamated Copper Com
pany has thus far paid $1S,117,809
in dividends, the Ontario of Utah
$14.817 900, and the Homestakc of
South Dakota $11,178,750. The
Vulture, sixteen miles southwest of
here, paid over $17,000,000 and
the Orc Grande, within sight of
town, gives promise Of exceeding
that amount within a few years.
The wealth to be secured from
mining operations conducted in
the right way and at the right spot
are enormous, as the above figures
show, and those figures are but a
few out of many that can be quot
ed. Any kind Of mining, from
coal, copper, lead, silver to gold
mining, has made millionaires out
of men who were little better than
paupers when they began mining
operations

TIE SANE EVERYWHERE.

Allen 7. Bird, the editor and
owner of the Nogales Oasis and the
Benson Press and one of the vete-
ran newspaper men Of Arizona,
evidently has had some experience
with that class Of hide bound para
sites which cling to SO many new
Arizona towns like a pestilential
buzzard. Mr. Bird speaks his
mind as follows in the last issue of
the Benson Press:
''In travelling throughout Ari-
IONA the Press editor has noticed
that in every community there are
81 few who are ever ready to come
to the front and put up their mon
ey to further any proposition OF
public import which will advance
the interests Of the town and i'm
prove the values of real estate.
And there are some property hold
ers who will never do anything.
Yet when the work is done and all
the benefits accrue, the latter class
are the first to raise their rents.
Now this does not mean you un-
less the application fits you"

WHO WILL ANTE?


With last weeks issue, the News
Herald completed the first eleven
months of its existence, and as the
first year of a newspaper generally
decides whether it is to lie a per-
manent institution or not, we have
taken time by the forelock and
done a little figuring in the elev-
enth hour, so as not to suspend
publication without giving the
people interested in this section a
fair warning and time to consider,
50 they would not say afterwards:
"Why didn't you let us know?"
We came to Wickenburg pract-
ically strangers, and we did not ask
any bonus of those interested here
because we wished to show what
we could do, even though we knew
full we'll that the field was not yet
developed sufficiently for a news
paper to be self-supporting for the
first year and that bonus had
offered to anyone who would
start a paper here to advertise the
resources of the section. We pre-
ferred to show the people that we
meant business and that we could
help them, and we think we have
now done so, but we leave that for
the people to decide.
We find, upon going over our
books, that it has cost Us to run
the News-Herald, over and above
our receipts, during the first eleven
months, the sum of $2,672.60; in
other words, we have lost $2,672.6O
since July 18th, 1901, by endeav-
oring to advertise the m neral re-
sources Of che Wickenburg section
through the News-Herald. If we
have done this district and the
people and companies interested
hereabouts that amount of good,
more than what has already been
paid us on subscription and adver-
tising, someone owes us $2672.6O.
If we haven't helped the entire
section that amount, we are loser
and wiser.
The newspaper business is a bus
iness proposition, the same as any
other business. and if paper can
not meet its expenses, a failure
necessarily follows, the same as in
any other business. A paper de-
pends upon its subscription, adver-
tising and Job printing Tor support.
Job printing we have had little Of;
about one-half of our subscribers
are in arrears and our display ad-
vertising has been satisfactory,
with the exception of a few bust
ness houses in Wickenburg which
are so dead and unimportant that
to mention them would be sacrelig-
ious, and it is best to let the dead
rest. All the live, up-to.date aud
progressive business men of Wick
enburg have supported us literally
through our advertising columns,
and many OF the Phoenix and
Prescott merchants have had the
foresight to recognize the business
they could draw from this section.
Those whom we now wish to re-
fer to in particular, are the COM
oanies and individuals owning and
operating mines around Wicken-
burg Not one Of these but what

THE RIGHT VIEW.

In a recent article in the Century
magazine, an eastern man writes
sensibly as follows concerning the
great Southwest:
"The Southwest is peopled with
the very best Americans, segregat-
ed by the eternal law of evolution
ary selection, with almost no sub
stratum of the low-caste European
foreigner to lower the level Of civil
lization OF course, there is no
danger from Indians, fnegroM>iex
leans, or Chinese, BECAUSE .tS,c is
rarely any mixing with them by
marriage, as formerly. With such
a start and such a commingling Of
Americans from all parts Of the
Union, the man from Boston rubb-
ing elbows with the Atlanta man,
and Kansas working side by side
with Missouri, it would seem that
the region would one day produce
the standard American type. g.
So the Southwest is becoming q
distinct entity, and the southwest

my property nefeaDOutS ana many
times that number Of individuals,
but four have ever paid the News
Herald one cent for advertising the
district or their properties, and we
have devoted from four to eight
columna weekly to writing up the
properties around here and keeping
the live news OF this section before
the outside world, upon which we
are dependent for capital to make
the district q producing one,
For the past eleven months, in
this game Of "help your district,
we have been"going it blind" until
the game has cost rs nearly three
thousand dollars. The time has
now come when the people and
companies who have been getting
the benefit must make q showing
and ante. If they don't, the game
will have to close and our only
satisfaction will be the knowledge
that we have been trying to help
people who would not help them
selves. But we trust this will not
be the case. We hope that the
people of Wickenburg and those
interested here, when they know
what we have done. will see to it
that the NeWsHerald does not
suspend or deteriorate into q four
column patent inside, boilerplate,
collie, cholera and diarrhoea sheet,
such as are being published in
many towns of twice the size Of
Wickenburg.
The situation is this: Besides
what we have received during the
past eleven months for subscript
ion and advertising we have gone
in debt and spent of our own mon
ey $2,672.6O. We stand in need
of and have outstanding bills
which WE MUST MEET SOON to the
amount of nearly $500. We do
not ask the people to make up the
deficit of the News Herald, amount
ing to nearly three thousand dol
lars, but we do ask that they who
have received the benefit help us
bear the loss and enable us to con-
tinue with the publication and the
work of advertising this wonder
fully rich mineral section. To
those who have property here,
whether mining, real estate or
business, to those who live here
and who are iii any way interested
-iiiill-seeing tire, district advance, we
say: Consider carefully what bene-
fit we have been to you in the past
and decide what it is worth to YOU
to have local paper here and send
US q check for whatever amount
you think you have and will be
benefited. If you can not do any
thing else, subscribe for the paper,
and pay your subscription. If you
haven't even the two dollars, never
mind-we haven't either SO come
in or write and subscribe anyway
and if you think We are doing the
district any good, say so. We like
to know how we stand with. the
people.
Whatever you do, do it soon.
We need paper and we need ink
and we are owing for some now
that you have already had, and we
do not know at what minute oul
