WEEKLY ARIZONA NALMINER Pioneer Paper of Arizona. PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1904. Forty-First Year JOUR THE IN TO HANDLE MONEY ! The Election of "Pap" Cline Should be Supported Wholesomely. For Over a Quarter of a Century a Taxpayer, and a Candidate Who is Substantially Identified With Yavapai Is the Laborer Worthv of the Hire? The candidacy of W. A. Cline the more it is known to the people, the better is it received. When a man is endorsed for the responsible position of treasurer of a county of the rating Yavanai county enjoys, and that too by the repulbiican party, there is more than the personal qualification of the man behind such an action. The principles of the party are reflect ed in the man's integrity, and in this respect there is to be weighed and considered the support of that party to the nominee, in efficiency, honesty and capability. In other words this organization is behind the man, and the party is behind the county in de manding from its nominee a pure and conscientious performance of the duty the office calls for. We believe then that all things considered, the selec tion of this man for this office should be considered on the broad and faith ful plane1 of poilticsl fidelity, as well as financial security, for the official who is to support the distinction of such a nomination must necessarily be not only a substantial representa tive of the people, but likewise must be known above all things as a true and conscientious citizen. Mr. Cline lias been a resident of this county for over twenty five years, and from the beginning of that residence to the present time, so well established has he become known, so firmly identified is he to the weifare of the county, and so bona fide is hie citizenship to be considered, the people cannot make any mistake in selecting him as the channel through which their financial interests are to be entrusted. We be lieve in rewarding the character of men Mr. Cline represents in the posi tion he seeks, tne longer they stay only the better known are they. For this reason care should be taken in filling the office of treasurer, and fav oritism should not give way to integ rity, personality to efficiency, and partisanship to citizenship. Mr. Cline is past the middle age of life, is not a novice nor an upstart in grasping the mature considerations the position de mands of him, but is fortified behind keen perception of zealous regard to all people alike and especially the vi tal one ofthe people's money. There is nq occasion for the taxpayer to go to any other channel than him to handle its money, and 'we believe that he willjbe wholesomely supported for the office because be is legitimately entitled to it. MINING NEWS. The Pfau Gold Mining company cannot dig any place without encoun tering ore. In making its excavation recently for the foundation for its mill they struck a body of ore cover ing the entire site of the plant. It was ore too of a good grade and will pay to mill. Reports from the firm having tbe'eontract for manufacturing the machinery for the company give encouraging reports of progress. The engines will be completed by January 1st, while a portion of the machinery is already completed, ready for ship ment. The excavations for the found ation is about completed and masons are now being employed to do the stone work for in a few weeks they will be ready for carpenters and work will be pushed 'just as rapidly as pos sible to completion. Dr. Ingalls, superintendent of the Ffau Extension Gold Mining company, is pushing development work on that property, having three shifts employed in the mine. Since commencing opera tioons there last month ho has built a carpenter shop, blacksmith shop in addition to othr surface improve ments. D. M. Timmons, superintendent of the Gold King Mining company, came in from the Bradshaw mountains on Friday evening. He says that good progress is being made in running the cross cut tunnel into the side of the mountain, a distance of over one hun dred feet having been completed. The face of the tunnel at this point, is be tween seventy and eighty feet from the surface, and is nearing a ledge which has very prominent outcrop pings on the surface. The objective point of the tunnel is a ledge which has very prominent croprings on the surface and from the ore of which good assay values have been obtained. A shaft has been sunk on the ledge to a depth of about twenty feet from which good ore was also taken. The tunnel is expected to strike this ledge at a depth of about three hundred feet and it is hoped to encounter some good ore in it. The ledge runs in a northerly and southerly direction and the tunnel being run in a westerly di rection, will strike the ledge at right angle. By drifting south on the ledge from the point of intersection with the tunnel depth can be gained very rapidly owing to the slope of the mountain to the north and beneath the apex of the mountain, about 2000 feet south of the tunnel, a drift run on a level with the tunnel would be up wards of 1000 feet below the surface. Ore bodies which are supposed to exist on this ledge can therefore be worked very economically through this tunnel. L F Thomas and Archie Brown Are Attacked. They Dismount From Their Horses and Kill Both of Their Assailants. Ash Fork, Nov. 1, (Special to Jour nal Miner) About 12:30 o'clock this afternoon a quarter of a mile from Meath station, while Thomas Brown, in charge of Smitn's outfit from Se ligman, and his son Archie, were ap proaching camp they were fired on with rifles by two Mexicans named Bonita Garcia and Pablo Olgin, the two men notifying the herders there, that they intended to shoot and then began firing. The Browns dismounted and the son who had only one shot in his gun, caught one of the Mexicans between the eyes. Garcia with three shots in his maga zine emptied it, but was killed while he was reloading by Thomas Brown, being shot through the side and heart. The camp is a quarter of a mile from Meath station, where a jury was taken from Ash Fork under charge of Jus tice Gillette. The bodies were brought to Ash Fork. No verdict has yet been rendered but the Browns will un doubtedly be acquitted. The Browns are itell known here, Thomas being the father of Archie. Mrs. Brown runs a lodging house here. The sheriff's office received a tele gram about 2 o'clock from Ash Fork yesterday in reference to the above tragedy but no particulars were given. It was from John Foley and it simply said that two men had been killed and requested that a deputy and the dis trict attorney go up. As the freight train was late Depu ties Joe Young and Frank Burns and Assistant District Attorney J. E.JMor rison left on that train to attend the inquest. It was learned that after the killing the Browns went to Ash Fork and re ported the affair themselves awaiting the arrival of the officers. Republican Club.

A Three Cornered Proposition that was Handled by Three Democrat ic War Horses at McCabe Lately Financial Expansion and Polit ical Reciprocity the Main Issues, "WILSON AT WORK!!!" AND MARK .AT HIS OLD GAME McCabe, Arizona, Oct. 25, (Speoial Correspondence) McCabe is not a large place, but it is feeling somewhat important. As I am a liberal kind ot a duck 1 want to let the outside know of things generally happening here, and let thum in also nn anything in the fun line on all sides of that ques tion. To be brief we are a regular dumping ground of hilarity, and this occurred to me about the 15th of the month when Mark Smith headed the bunch this way to tells us good demo crats, socialists and republicans just how they saved the country and inci d n tally also how much they thought of us. Mark 'made a fine spiel and af ter ho was through one old timer re marked: "Iliko that speech better every time I hear it." Then P. W. O'Sullivan arose to ex plain "How the Burro late the Cab bage" and how we should proceed to raise some more cabbage. ;fle was so well "imbued" with the subject or the cabbage, Jthat the people began to listen for the rain drops to slop on the roof, until Col. Wilson, our delegate in congress got up to make his bow, well 'nough said, our chairman earned our everlasting gratitude by calling time. Regarding the other gentlemen of the party the general fopinion ex pressed was that they were in very poor company. After the meeting adjourned I drow up at the nearest saloon bar and list ened to the liquid logi s as it mingled in recriminations but this was too much for Col. Wilson, so ho requested to Mr. O'Sullivan to relate his favor ite story of "The Bung Hole of the Barrel," which Mr. O'Sullivan did promptly and effectively. Things then commenced to work right merrily. The result was that from this meteoric display several boys lost two or three shifts and one of our citizens was real ly the worse off for the rally around the bar. At this time our liveryman appeared on the scene with the politi cal vehicle and when he modestly pre sented bis bill of S2 he was told to go to James Eybon of this burg, and re ceive in exchange good democratic coin. He is wiser now and sadly sings, "The mill will never grind with the water that has passed." Well again we wero selected later for ama teur political rounding up, and Mr. O'Sullivan, Mayor Burke and Judge Wright of Prescott showed us the love they have, and even this public de claration did not make us feel bash ful. After the meeting it was suggest ed that a little quiet game of draw poker be the issue, so it was had. Af ter the finish of the game James Ry bon, the banker of the game, announc ed that there was a shortage of 895 of the campaign fund, which he had not in his possession. Mr. Rybon told one of the Prescott players that he did not know the game was a jawbone one, and then he lit onto the jawbone of the player, the net results being that the jawbono player said ho would be good after the referee had called time. The next time this inidvidual comes to town ho shouyd reverse the rules of poker playing, and he probably will. Again this morning Mr. Clark our livery am was asked to produce the political wagon, and as a burnt child dreads the fire, and after a hurried search in democratic pockets, that proved to be empty, a chorus announc ed that Yavapai county would bo re sponsible. Mr. Clark responded that Yavapai county was much too large for him to handle financially, and be preferred the team to a bird in the brush. So an order on James Rybon was made out for 32.50 and presented to Rybon. Mr. Rybon said "They are 1 awfully off their trolley" and other harsh things. Mr. Clark was very ob liging and away the bunch went in the 1 team. Our votes in McCabe are for sale, J but really, boys, less noise and more coin would work better. I see by the Courier that the mem orable occasion when Col. Wilson ad dressed us on the 10th and delivered himself of a very brilliant discourse on the political situation. I was pre sent on that occasion also and know that if anyone got any kind of a bril liant discourse out of the genial col onel on that night they got it through a straw. My advice to McCabe people as well as all people in Yavapai is t get onto yourselves. A Voter. ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH. Old Pioneer of Agua Fria Drops Dead. Fred Hildebrandt, another of the old timers of this county, died very suddenly at his home at Dewey on Sunday evening of heart disease. Mr. Hildebrandt bad not been in good health for some time and last year went to California for the benefit of his health, expecting to remain there permanently. He was however called home on business affairs and had nnt been able to get away again. Mr. Hildebrandt came to this county in the seventies and resided here ever since to the time of his death. He was an honest and upright citizen and enjoyed the esteem and respect of all who knew him. The summons came very suddenly and unexpectedly to him. He bad just finished eating his evening meal and had gone outside of the house when he was seen to reel and fall to the ground, death occuring instantaneously. The remains were brought to Pres cott yesterday afternoon add prepared for burial by U. M. Maus & Co., and the funeral will take place tnis after noon at 2 o'clock from the Catholic church to whioh friends and acquaint ances are invited. Deceased was G7 years old and is survived by a widow and one daugh ter. The ranks of the old settlers have been tbining out quite rapidly durh-g the past few years. In Memoriam. Of W. J. Craft, beloved husband of Annie Craft.'who pu.a quietly and peacefully to the higher ilfe. Death lies upon him like an untimely froat. Those who knew him best, loved him most. So good and kind in all his ways, no wonder the loved ones feel that in their home there is a place that never can be filled. Ah many an aching heart will miss thee but 'tis only a good night, dear brother, until the morning dawns again. Sleep .on, beloved, sleep, and take thy rest. Lay down thy head upon thy Saviour's brest; ' We loved thee well, but Jesus lovos the best. Calm is tby slumber as an infant's sleep But thou sbalt wake no more to toil and weep Thine is a prefect rest, secure and deep Good Night. Only, good night, beloved not fara- well Life's fitful! journey will soon be o'r9 Then we shall meet to part no more. Written by a friend.

Every man who goos into a public office expects to got all the law allows bim. Herald. Is he getting ready to switch back to the Independent column again? It looks veiy suspicious from the above rap at the democratic candidates he is supposed to be supporting. Is Oakes Murphy running for con gress on the republican ticket this year? Wo should judge so from read ing that leading editorial in fast night's Herald on the old and long ago deceased subject of the P.& A.C. railroad bonds. Graveyard issues are played out in this campaign, and what the present generation deraandn is the living, for instance a live one like Fowler. A vote for the republican ticket means a vote' for a reduction of taxes. THE BRITISHER IS IMPULSIVE He Jumps at the Mythical and Smothers Himself With War Paint. A Reported Hitch in Negotiations With Russia is Associated to the Release of the Baltic Fleet, and the War Feeling is at the Frenzy Point in London. London, Nov. 1. Negotiations be tween Great Britain and Russia look iug to the settlement of tho North sea affair are 'rogressing favorably and there is not the slightest danger of friction arising between the two gov ernments. The constitution of the in j ternational commission under the Hague convention is on the verge of a settlement. In spite of these pacific ! conditions Great Britain today experi enced a war panic that can only be compared to panic created October 23, jvhen news of the sinking of tho traw lers in North sea was received. Not for years have so many alarmist re ports and flaming etxras flooded Lon don. The excitement started early in the day whon newspapers announced the departure of the Russian Baltic squadron from Vigo. Tho public was not in possession of the information cabled by the associated press to the United States tbat only the officers concerned in the firing on the trawlers would be detached and jumped at the conclusion that the Russians had brok en faith by aot detaining the vessels involved in the affair. On top of this came a wild report of tremendous ac tivity at Gibraltar, the news reaching a climax when the report came that the British fleet had cleared for ac tion. Finally the foreign office was overrun by reporters, some of whom brought rumors of fighting between the two fleets. When all London was in a tense state of excitement the for eign office decided to issue a statement which set at rest wild rumors. The statement announced that the sailing of the Russian fleet was no surprise, that Russian officers had been left be hind to testify in the examination, that negotiations are progressing look ing to the international commission's personnel. The general public however went to bed here tonight firm in the conviction that it would wake up to hear that Rojestvensky was at the bot tom of the sea. A POLITICAL SAVANT. Andy Lancer, the well known resi dent of this section, has earned the distinction of being an infallible po litical barometer, and from sizing up a political convention in what it is going and is not going to do, ho calls the turn invariably months ahead Nearly one year ago he told the boys that Parker was the nominee, and he was snapped up with many bets, all of which were covered,and Andy can now live in the city in ease and comfort accordingly. He is out again in bis betting garments, and has a few gold notes for the Parker boys to get onto, and seems to feel distressed that there is no inclination for the democrats to support their nominee simply because ho wants to bet against bim. Andy has now drifted to a political avenue of discussing the territoiial issues, and whilo he is not betting on Mark Smith, and it is very hard to tell whether or not he will vote for Fowler, he is speaking more about Smith's candi dacy however than he is praising Fowler, saying that the idea j of the people being bombarded with Smith is very humorous, as that gentleman and his stewardship is so well known as not to be given any more thought or consideration whatever. On tho other hand Mr. Lancer says that the people'ot Arizona and especially so of Yavapai county should watch that man Fowler if he goes to congress, for there is every probability that every wet gulch that has a stream trickling down it will be dammed up and then there will follow a drouth such as has never before prevailed in this section. There is also liable to follow Jthe draining of all subterranean streams through the boring of artesian wells, and a genoral shaking up over the old system of the past is in all probability inevitable in all industrial channels. Mr. Lancer views "with alarm' the election of Fowler, saying that as he is so well stereotyped and accustomed to the old congressional doings he is quite ready to undergo such a shaking up through the election of a delegate like Mr. Fowler is typical of, when it comes to working so earnestly as is said of him. While Andy is not bet ting any money as yet on the result, he is deliberately handling hia intel lectual abilities in the direction of considering what will really happen if Fowler is elected, and is paying no attention whatever to what is to be expected of Mark Smith, as that ques tion is a foregone one. POLITICAL UNSELFISHNESS. That republicans in this territory are sincere and unselfish in strenuous ly combating for separate statehood must remain an established fact. Granting that democrats are opposed j to joint statehood, one of then reason? for this is that they confidently be lieve that Arizona is democratic. It is an acknowledged fact that with New Mexico and Arizona combined as one state, the republicans would con trol things absolutely, elect United States senators and congressman and state officers. Democrats know this. But devotion to the territory, love of her identity and desire for separate admission as a state is so strong and powerful and so deeply imbedded in all republicans that they are willing to sacrifice political supremacy that Arizona may not be wiped from the map. Democrats can not have such disinterested feelings on this momen tous subject. Arizona democratic and the offices arouse considerable ofthe enthusiasm of our political opponents.
