[1] Emmet A. Bentley, editor from July 1866 was shot by Apache Indians on Weaver Mountain in February 1867 and died a few days later in the paper's office at age 27.

[1] Still, William F. Turner, the Chief Justice of the Territorial Supreme Court of Arizona and a political foe, felt that McCormick unduly benefited from being the owner and controller of the Miner.

Under Beach, the paper's political leanings returned to their Republican roots and the name was changed back to the Weekly Arizona Miner.

In late 1885, John C. Martin, the editor of Prescott's Arizona Weekly Journal,[a] proposed a merger deal.

In response, a temporary daily was published for about a month until regular operations could resume[1] in a small brick building on West Gurley Street.

[1] Needing more space, the publishing office moved to a two-story building at Cortez and Union streets in 1914 with a Goss web-perfecting press.

[9] The last proprietors of the paper were Arthur John Doud, publisher, and A. V. Napier, manager, who acquired the publication on July 1, 1929, and operated it until its closure in April 1934.

[1][8][12] The Arizona Journal, a Republican-leaning paper established in 1883 merged with Daily Miner to become the Prescott Journal-Miner.
