 The announcement of s. A. Prince as candidate for reelection as chief of police of Prescott appears in this is- sue. Mir.

If close attention to official duty and the faithful performance of the same counts for anything, Mir. Prince has mertied the support of the public at the coming election.
 The Gold Road company is install ing a large number of Huntington mills at the big mill Tn Cole Road. ! These mills are to be used in racrush- ing and amalgamating after the ore has been passed through the big rolls. Considerable of the ore now carries rather coarse gold, which cannot be taken up by cyanide, but which re- spends readily to amalgamation. These mills will also give the big plant greater crushing capacity wtich is found necessary since the 5t0 level has been blocked out. -Mohave Miner
 R. H. Elsey who has been engineer at the Yeager Canyon mines for some months is in the city stopping at the Sherman House. He reports every thing running smoothly at the mines and says they are taking out ore show ing assay values as high as 5 ger cent in copper. While MT. Elsey has quit the employ of the company be has only words of highest commendation for both the property and manage ment. As an engineer of ability and ,nng experience his high opinion of the Yeager property is significant es- pecially his statement that in bis opinion the Yeager Canyon mioe will become one Of the big propositions of this country when more fully develop ed and judiciously managed.
 A lady called the attention teddy of a representative of the JouTnai-MiDer to a case of cruelty to animals which should be investigated. It wss that of a Mexican wood hauler wio was driving a mule so crippled that it could scarcely walk and because of its crippled condition and inability to perform the work of an able bodied mule the man belabored it with a club. She demonstrated with him, speaking in Spanish to him, but his reply was that he was poor man and needed the mule to assist him in making living. Cases of extreme cruelty to animals are broughG to the notice of the public at frequent inter vals and there seems to be pressing need in Prescott for the organization of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals.

The first account that we have Of white
dates from the DAYS of Herodotus, the Father
of History" who ,ived about two thousand four
hundred years ago He says that these ants.
though smaller than dogs are larger than foxes,
and that everyone of them devours a quantity
of meat equal to one pound weight day One
cannot help wondering what the size OF dogs
was N the DAYS of HerOdotus. Whatever we
NAV think Of the size of the ants, however IT IS
evident that Herodotus did not consider the
story big enough for he went on to say that IN
their retreats in the sandy deserts these gigantic
insects followed out subterranean habltauons,
and piled up mighty hlocks of golden sand,
which the natives at the peril of their own lives
went and stole from them.
It IS the mighty hillocks" that give the
ttirg away Herodotus. whoever it was who
told him about it. had seen or heard OF the
mighty hillocks" raised by the white ants, and
evidently jumped 20 the conclusion that the
size of the ants must be in proportion to the
size Of the work they had accomplished.

It would be well to sit down for a few
moments and decide whether they are

the price demanded. AS usual. C. r.
Layton makes the terms. He says in
his paper, the Sentinel.
In the assignment Of these positions

Republican party. for reasons above
mentioned, viii steadfastly and un-
yieldingly demand the right to the
nomination for Governor. which seems
to be. and I'm fact Is. the only bone of
contention between the factions as far
VIII there be an adjustment Of "a state
ticket, unless this adjustment is reach
ed before the conventions are held. As
far as the Union Republican convention
goes, when it makes its nominations
they will stand. though the heavens
fall, for the people of this state are
getting tired, irrepressibly tired, OF a
bolting, lawless, ana piratical minority
who profess devotion TO purity in poli-
tics, but have become the modern Dick
Turpin upon the political highway.
So we see that the Union Republicans
propose to have the Governor In that
event Regular Republicans would have
the sacred privilege Of voting for John
Hum, and Of giving C. r. Layton an
other term as Secretary Of state. A
nice program, isn't itg This same lay
ton is very jealous Of the rights OF the
people. He doesn't believe in putting
up tickets to be taken down and read
justed by the State committees. But
he Is willing for the leaders to agree
on division of the spoils which would
guarantee the election Of John Hum,
and that c. r. Layton shall retain his
present once; and then he proposes to
call a convention Of Union Republicans
to ratify the bargainl
It is well not TO forget certain things.
We should remember the trap the Reg
ular Republicans were led into by putt
ting too great reliance on John Hunn's
word. Then we should not forget that
our chief representative on that ticket
was refused denomination and candi-
date put up TO defeat him. Those four
year terms now expire, and no wonder
there is a desperate effort TO retain
