WORSE THAN LEPERS.

During the past twelve years The
Chronicle has been issued regularly
and given cheerful and unstinted
support TO every material interest
of the immense field which it COW
ers. As result of the untiring
and conscientious effort displayed
effort acquiring renewed zeal and
energy with the passing of the
years The Chronicle easily is the
leader in the newspaper field of
the great San Luis valley. This
fact is generally conceded and is a
matter in which we take much
pride
But in every community there
are few human jackals whose
chief delight is to subsist upon
carrion veritable hyenas. that
most cowardIy and filthy of all ami
mails. Without conscience, or de
cency. or self respect. their sole
conception of happiness is to tear
down that which, at infinite labor.
others have builded: to thwart the
will of the people and cause mental,
moral and financial stagnatiou to
exist where prosperity, peace and
plentitude should prevail.
1t is extremely unfortunate that
this great section of great state
should be afflicted with IA more or
less organized gang of this churac-
ter. The quasi-organization pos
sesses no strength either individ-
ually or collectively. but like a
mongrel cur baying at the moon
insists upon making noise in
order to disturb the comfort and
repose of that respectable element
with which it never can expect to
have anything in common or receive
even a semblance of recognition.
AS an exponent of all things
honorable, just and progressive, of
course The Chronicle receives "a
major portion of the abuse and
villification emanating from these
few individuals. This was natur-
ally to be expected. because they
hate The Chronicle like the devil
hates holy water and realize that
its influence is all-pervading among
honest and upright citizens. So

naturally they centralize their pop
gun warfare upon us, their fusilade
having all the characteristics of a
hailstorm beating upon the sides of
a modern battleship. Their frantic,
imbecile efforts would arouse pity
and commiseration were it not for
the fact that the welfare of the
people is being attacked a welfare
which The Chronicle now and
always will protect at all hazard.

A NATTER OF PRINCIPLE.

A noteworthy example of the pc
culiar ideas some men entertain
regarding their personal impor-
tance, the absolute necessity for
their existence and their sadly
twisted conception of principle is
furnished by Ben b. Lindsey, of
Denver. who is using all sorts of
clubs to force himself into the
limelight as Il gubernatorial can
didate. Formerly Republican.

thing for nomination. he certainly
represents the embodiment of the

politics. or elsewhere so tar as we
know. an office seeker has had the
effrontery to publicly proclaim
that he will accept nomination
from any or all parties, not fu-
sion, but IA direct nomination by
any of the widely divergent polit-
ical interests, This is the climax
to the greed for public pap.
Lindsey never has shown any
thing but the most mediocre ability
even as petty jurist. and this as
piration for exalted position smacks
strongly of the demagogue. Po-
itical parties are supposed to rep
resent principles, and the people
are attracted TO one or the other
because of those principles. Yet
this man, this insignificant Judge
who poses almost as the reincar-
nation of Deity, wants to be gov
ernor on the strength of the bald
assertion that he has no principles,

ality may be gathered by a cartoon
elsewhere presented, with great
secrecy and many "a softly-uttered
hist and silence" sneaked into
a back room at Alamosa, their heads
throbbing with the terrific respon-
sibility placed upon them and
hearts quivering with fright lest
their object should be discovered
and their plans to rejuvinate "A po-

follows:
Whereas. We, the only Simon
pure bunch in existence, have each
met in Joint caucus with himself
and disjointed caucus with the
others. believing that the time to
grab the shekels of the people has
arrived, and each fearful that the
other fellow may get more than he,
do gaze with ever growing suspicion
one upon the other and again reit-
crate that we do not believe such "a
thing as honor among thieves
exists"
Sounds like an editorial in the
Courier, don't it? Probably Stuart
wrote it; it's in keeping with his
nature. But ii was great meet
ing and its records will eventually
rank with the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.

DWELL MONUMENT
 AND Il. F. ASHURST

A couple of weeks since in the minutes of the board of supervisors published in the NEWS it was stated a request had been made of the board to appropriate $1CO0 from the county treasury to assist in the erection of a monument at Prescott to the memory of "Bucky" O'Neill. In the minutes it was also stated that "while the whole board is in full sympathy with the noble move ment, it cannot act, as board of supervisors, favorable, in the face of the opinion of the district attor- ney that the statutes of Arizona prohibit such an appropriations and suggest that subscription list be started in Coconino county"
 It seems that some people have taken exception to what appears in the above quotation from the min utes relative to the advice by the district attorney to the board. Last week we received an anonymous letter from Flagstaff, signed "Old Soldier" in which was clipping from the minutes, and few lines requesting the NEWS to ''give Ash urst -" because of "his lack of patriotism" and his advice against making the appropriation. We i have no idea who the man is who sent the letter, but will say for his benefit that we cannot comply with his request. MT. Ashurst and the editor of this paper have had diff ferent views on several subjects
 When we thought he was wrong we have criticised him; but in this case we have nothing but common dation for his action. Whether the minutes were intentionally worded so that it would appear as if, but for the advice of the district attor' ney, the board would have made the appropriation. we wot not
 neither do we know whether it was intended for political effect; yet we do know that while we have haC our differences with the district at torney and have criticised him, 1T
 this case, where he has taken tht only, and correct, action, we art ready to rise to his defense. w.
 revere the name of Buckley
 O'Neill, and know that the dis trict attorney does likewise. bu
 that does not warrant him in ad vising unlawful appropriations from } the county treasury.

RICH FIND IN
 GRANDCANYON Prof. J. F. CIapp Will Develop Promising
 Property

Besides being a natural scenic wonder the Grand Canyon soon bids fair to becomea large producer of the precious metals. There the work of opening the ground has already been done by nature and it only remains for the hardy pros pector to explore its depth to find it's mineral wealth. Many valua- ble properties are already located in the Canyon, much work hay ing been done on them. and the coming summer promises to see more. Some time since the NEWS made mention of the return here of Prof. J.. F. Cfapp, at one time connected with the United Gold and Platinum Mines Co.,, the state ment also being made at the time that the professor had made valua- ble discoveries of mineral below Bright Angel in the Canyon. The following article. taken from the Tucson Post of March IT, throws a little more light on the subject, as at the time the professor was here he was rather reticent:
 "J. F. Clapp, an experienced and noted mining engineer and chemist while in Tucson this week told of a remarkable and exceedingly rich deposit which he discovered some time since in the Grand Canyon oi Arizona. It is deposit of reuthe nium and aluminium in a compost. tion which American chemists have been utterly unable to handle and which was declared by them to be valueless. A chemist of the KrupE company has a process by which the aluminium may be extracted and the Rothschilds of-Germany y l
 have taken hold of the property and will develop and work it al once. The deposit lies through a strata for length of thirteen miles through the canyon. All this stretch has been located and will be controlled by the foreign inter. ests working it. The discovery con- tains more aluminium than all the known worlds supply, and will make MT. Clapp wealthy man, besides the immense returns it will give the capital backing the enter prise."
