Tho southland is no longer Smith's bailiwick. If It is counted hi citadel, there surely is turmoil and trouble in tho one Hmitli stronghold. All reports from that part of the territory point to this conclusion. Kv ery person who has given the political situation in the south any notice, whether ho is Democrat or Republican, brings from the south too same news. All word is alike. Smith is fading away before the heat of disapproval. "We neu moed on to Nogalrs, where we found nine out of ten citi zens on the street wearing Gnmcron buttons. Thi- exceptional strength so manifestly exhibited prepared us for the unprecedented demonstration at the great gathering held that evening. "Wo then proceeded to Tombstone, where we thought thero might bo u slump in the Cameron uprising. Hut Tombstone turned out in a Cameron demonstration that fairly carried us off our bearings. "The Reason Cameron Club runic up by train headed by the Benson bund and theoe, merging with the Tomb stone Cameron Club, formed the most striking parade of the trip.

Here we culled Smith country. Morrison, who surely hud the bulge on Smith.

"I joined Cameron ami his party," said Morrison yesterday, "at Douglas just previous to a meeting in that won derful smelter town. 1 was utterly un prepared for such large mid enthusias tic meetings as we had there and all during the week I spent with the par ty. "The Cameron sentiment nlong the routhern border in counties that have been usually attributed to Smith for a time dazed me. It was so surprising, too unexpected to one who had been schooled to look for something differ ent In that portion of tho territory. "The antagonism to Smith is not local to any one place. It is scattered over tho entire southland. You find it where you least expect to llnd It. "I attribute this in addition to the net that tne entire territory is tired of Smith to the work of Ilovnl A. Smith, the territorial chairman. Smith not only has u wonderful personal fob lowing in Cochise uud neighboring counties where men young and old hold him in the respect of warm, tried friendship, but he has exceptional ex ecutive ability ami has the sponta neous entnusiasm for Cameron and an tagonism for Smith welded into a per fect orgiinilmtinu. The young men of those counties form tho backbone of the sentiment against Smith. Among this clement Ilovnl Smith is u horoic. figure. "Hut let it not be thought that Cam eron Is not doing his part, lie Is the most magnificent campaigner I have ever seen in Arizona and 1 have been here twenty-five years. Wherever Cameron goes he tnrows a spell of magnetism that winn, whether he is addressing a large gathering from a platform or talking to a few miners in the face of a drift. "I have never seen such campaign lug from any man. Ills voice is as firm, he is just as fresh us he was the day after his nomination. "At Douglas the day I joined the party we had u monster meeting that Indicated the tenor of tile feeling in the south. Tho way the remarks of the fpeakers were received by people who six years ago would have hissed nt the same criticism of Smith, showed the drift of southern sentiment. . def erences to the "Tearful Candidate" with his "Dear Old Cochise" were always hailed witu laughing applause. "When we moved over to Misbee the Mime scenes were repeated. A monster meeting preceded by a strik ing torchlight parade showed that His bee was Cameron as well as Douglas. "Those who are in a position to know the drift in Cochise and are ex ceptionally conservative assured the party that Smith's majority would be thtnueil down this year to u threndj Others declared . Cameron would carry the (utility. curry his by IWO votes. "Cameron comes to Yavapai county Thursday, October 1", for u week's campaigning. During the day he will visit Octave and Alvarado and in the evening hold u meeting at Con verse. "We have him in I'reseott Friday ii tut we are going to give him the greatest political reception ever ten- Slered in this city. The meeting takes place in the Klks Opera House. The Republican management especially In vited the ladies of the town to come and near Cameron. " Following the Prescott visit Cam eron goes on Saturday to Jerome where a great get-together has been planned. "Hegiuning with Sunday Cameron starts on his campaign down the Verde. He will hold a meeting Mon day night at Camp Verde, another at noon at Cherry Creek, uud Tuesday night at McCahe. "Wednesday he holds a noonday meeting at (,'haparrel, proceeds to Po land for another gathering and finish es the day witii a rousing assembly nt Mayer. "The county candidates will accom pany Cameron on his Yavapai trip. He returns to Prescott Thursdny eve ning to take tho train at night fur Phoenix." I in lillto tun much will of his own to be nine one of the hunters nt Phoenix when they gather there at tho next Cold Moon." "Why not send the Hig Chief him self on the limit f" ventured n duky warrior. "Nay, nay!" hastily interposed one of the chiefs, "for I fear lest ho di vide not tne venison." "Not for me," said the Dig Chief. "My duty to the tribe forbids me from deserting the Sacred Wampum Hell, but J would put in my stead the Great Chief of Records. Has he not already followed the hunt? Did I not take him to the Tucson reservation with me last Warm Moon and make him an assiftnnt Chief of Records! Is he not now the Great Chief of Un cords of his tribef His soul lustcth for the chase, and his hand already reachcth out for tho twigs (votes)." "But he is htill a papoose," object ed the Great Junior Sagamore, "and knoweth not the tricks of the chase." "But he knoweth the young squaws well, 'nnd they will teach him to fol low the trail," responded the Big Chief. "What s.iyetn you, brothers" ask ed the Great Sachem as his eyes glanc ed out of the wigwum and the whis pering winds and signal fires told him that the Neagle braves were in trou ble at Crown King, "Shall we choose the Pet Papoose of the Big Chief!" "Let it be so," grunted the Great Chiefs in unison. "Let it be so," echoed the Great Sacnem. And thus in picturesque language is i reached the limit of development as far as new territory is concerned. The only direction of growth possible for them is the further development of the idd properties. Globe district, howev er, is so extensive in urea the "proven mineral belt being about thirty-eight miles long by twelve miles wide that the quarter of it nas not vet been prospected, and fifty year's hence the limit of expansion will not have been reached. Of a dozen mining companies tie lively operating in Globe district ten of them have made importnnt strike of ore within the past six or seven mouths. Foremost among these is tho Old Dominion, which has made some re markable developments on the Htn level, and on the 10th and H2h levels nt the east end of tho mine. The crosscut in block I, on the It-lh level, has been driven through sixty feet of good sulphide ore. The crosscut in block 3 is in the ore fifteen feet und it is still better milphidc. Another crosscut in block U is expected to cut the sulphide vein witnin a few days. The 10th and 12 level east drifts have been in the very rich ore cuprite, na tive eopper and eholcopyrite for -several hundred feet and upraises from those levels are also in fine ore. The Miami Copper Comjwny has pro bably the most notable discovery in mi far us the amount of ore developed is concerned. The amount of ore said to be blocked out a mouth ngo nt the Bed Rock shaft of tne Miami company was 7,000,(11111 tons. Since that time . ..I..l.:.l..u I.......

LED AS A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER (From Wednesday's Dally) "Great Chiefs of Vnvapai," spoke the Great Sachem as no slowly folded his sheepskin blanket around his neth er limbs to protect them from the po litical frost that was penertntiiig the wigwam, and then he paused for he sadly noted' that the Sacred Circle (tho ring) was not of its usual circumfer ence. Tho Great .Mishinowa of Mo Cube had not obeyed tne signal fire, und the Great Guards of tho Forest ami the Wigwam had not come in from the hunt. "Perhaps they have strnyed away from the trail," thought the Great Sachem as a far-away look crept into his eyes, "nnd have been captured by the paleface. "Brothers," no resumed audibly, "seven suns have rolled by uud yet the Great Spirit has not moved any brave to take the placo in our mlfjhty band of hunters which was left va cant when Brave Lynch refused to leave his tepee in the .lerome reserva tion. Did we not offer it to Brave Hull also of the Jerome reservation and did he not unsheath his scalping knife and with tire iu his eyes tell us that his services to the trlbu lit tod him to sit in the Great Council and that he hud already placed enough scalps upon his belt as a hunter. What sayeth the Big Chief!" "The Great Sachem speaketh well. the opinion of almost everyone who heard of the tragic death of .1. B. iScantlii. In the county hospital nt mid night Sunday. Speaking of this class of varmint to a Journal-Miner man, Jim Johnson, wiio h.is resided in this territory a quarter of a century, said yesterday: "Tl,.. ukiml.- ..I. lw. ..In..... I .... . .... ...... n v. w , . jf...vii .i.ii un the list of bounty wild animals by the next legislature. To my personnl knowledge it is the most dangerous animal out of doors In Arizona todnv. It has caused more loss of life in this territory than all tho others combined. Year after year deaths are heard of from its bites all over the territory. The number saved by the Pasteur In stitute is not nown, but there is one thing certain, It causes more deatns than the bear, mountain lion, lobo wolf and all the other bounty animals com bined. The rattlesnake Is harmless compared to it. A rattlesnake seldom or never bites without warning. Hat tiers have been known to roll in the prospector's bed during tho night and leave without harming him in the morning. Moreover, tho rattler, when he does strike, generally fastens his fangs in the clothing, which often times destroys his fangs and absorbs the larger portion of his poison before it reaches tho tlesh. Any physician can cure the rattler's bite if the vic tim reaches lilin in any reasonable time but there appears to be no cure for the contemptible hydrophublu skunk exeupt by tho Pasteur Institute, which can only bo reached at consid erable expense. "My observation of the hydropho bia skunk is that it is a pest absolute ly without fear, it attacks while its victim is asleep. Seen on tho trail it refuses to seek refuge in the brush, Invariably coming forward ready to pierce its fangs into tho bare tlesh of one's countenanco or tho bare arm. Hundreds of these pests lire in the mountains und along tho streams. A fair bounty to the trppor would rid the territory of the pests so distmct ive to human llfo in a few years. Compared to tho jackrabbit, raccoon, wild eat, lynx, coyote or mountain lion it certainly outclasses all combined in its ilestruetiveuess to, human life." "I inn not in favor of voting for any candidate for tho legislature on either ticket, until he pledges himself favoring the enactment of a law plac ing a good bounty on these destructive pests," he concluded. The majority of nls audience stated that they agreed with his views.

The Superior k Boston, four and one half miles northeast of Globe, is de veloping one of the finest bodies of ore in the district. The ore has been opened to a vertical depth of nearly 500 feet and along tue strike of the vein for ll.'O feet from the west end line of the Great Eastern claim. The avei'jge width of the ore shoot is about ten feet and the copper contents averages over ten per cent. The same ore shoot has been opened by the Arizona Commercial Copper com pany on the Black Hawk claim for 100 feet west of tho Great Kastern, and the lode was cut last week in the com pany's Kureka shaft, nearly 100 feet west of tho old Black Hawk workings. The Globe Consolidated, wnich until a few months ngo had developed noth ing of much value, has recently mnde ii succession of strikes which practical ly Insures the company a good mine. Two sulphide veins have been opened, which are now furnishing shipping ore. In ono of tlieso veins, the Gem, tho ore is seven feet wide nnd runs about 0 per cent copper, II per cent sulphur and IIS per cent Iron. WIOKENBUROERS PAY HONOR TO CAMERON WICKKNHUHG, Ariz., Oct. 15-Ono of the greute.st gatherings ever scon iu Wickeuburg was that which welcomed Ralph Camergn on his arrival here yesterday forenoon. Nineteen vehicles, with threo large turnouts carrying seventy children of tho public school, headed by tho In dust rial Liberty Band of sixteen pieces of Phoenix, marched through the prin cipal streets of the town, accompanied by Governor Klbbey. After the pa rade the two were domiciled at the Vernetta Hotel, whrro every ono In town called and paid their rospocts during the afternoon. If theru were any Democrats who did not take part In tiio day's pro eccdings, by their pleasant attitude they showed that they wore pleasedi Tho opera house was crowded to overllowlng at tho speaking and tho clear talk made by Governor Klbbey and tho open, honest, frank mothod of Ralph Cumeron, won npplauso and many of them from tho audience. Never in tho l.istory of this old burg was such an ovation oxtonded a candidate of any party and witu no excoptlon was there anything but tho finest feeling displayed for the gucstB.

This .-tatement made yester .lav to a Journal Miner representative ,v A. .1. Doran, after his arrival from his camp there. "Walker was tue llrst mining dis trict organized in northern Arizona," . sid. "The fame of its rich placer mines spread all over the west soon after its discoveiy attracting hundreds of hardy prospectors to the auriferous deposits' of Lynx Creek, which are still yielling well, although worked mcr as many ns civ or seven times. Ojiurt. miners made handsome fortunes in the early days digging out mo sur line ores mid recovering the gold by t - the arastra process, ueep mining whi not attempted there until recent years, tne prospectors and miners contenting themselves with extracting the surtnee ores, abandoning development of tho ledges when the sulphide one was reached. Hecent development shows that the richest ores are in tho sul phide rone and now almost every min er on the creek is taking out shipping ore. The minor who Is willing to dig deep into the ground will find rick re wards in the depths of the Lynx Creok ledges. "(Few districts iu the west can boast of a three foot paystreak car rying gold values of more than $100 ti tho ton. hi the Hellwick mine, a short distance from the town of Walk er, there is u three foot paystreak of this character of rock uncovered. Tne strike was made last week and tho ore bodv is still showing strong in the face of the drift. The lessees of the property are preparing to make a ear load shipment soon. The location is one of the oldest patented mines in the district. It covers a series of par allel veins, all carrying good values. The strike referred to is iu the ledge known as the ICtittlcsuake. "Among the greatest surprises iu the district is tue opening of large bodies of ore iu the Pine Mountain mine, never known to exist before, al though it is opened ."00 feet deep. The property passed into the possession of the Interstate Gold Company u few months ago. W. C Tonkin, prescident and general manager, started cross cuts from the lower levels of the shaft into parallel veins. He recog nized in the croppings of the parallel ledges .what he considered the capping of rich ore deposits, although every other miner who has had charge of tho property believed them worthless. His judgment proved good, as both cross cuts tapped better bodies of ore than ever found before iu the property. "Lessees of the Sim Oriflin proper ty recently made a shipment that gave reams of ,!I0 a ton. They are taking out good ore and expect to make another carload snipmunt soon. "Crump and Mcl.eod bave an excel lent showing iu their property. They are also piliug good ore on their dump. "Placer miuers are active all along the creek from Hieli gulch dowu. Hich gulch, as its name indicates, proved among the richest placer deposits in tho west in early days. It is still yielding golden treasures to the min ers digging there." Doran has a small force of men de veloping his Itattlcsnako claim. Tho location covers tho fumous Rattle snake ledge, now being opened in tho Hellwick mine Tho Ruttlesnake is the north extension of the Hellwick. Doran 's forco is taking out oro so rich In gold that n miner can make better than day's pay crushing tho ore by hand and panning it. lie is confining his operations to development, his in tention being to open tho mine in a minorllko way before commencing to do any stoning.

(From Wfdntuday's Dully) At tho close of tho registration nt midnight last night Recorder Brad- bury had -1831 unities upon his list. in consideration of tho fact that last year's registration contnined numerous Tcpeoters, this number is nn iucreaso over the -ISIifi unmcs of last year. The total enrollment, that is count ing the supplementary list last year, contained SI (III names. When Record er Bradbury gets all the returns from tho county his registration will un donbtedly surpass tho total, regardless of the numorous repeaters it contained.
