A SURE WINNER
Hon. N. O jVlurpby is now before
the people of Arizona'seeking election
as DvrYegfcte to Congress.
Although but a few days have
elapsed since his nomination, it is now
quite appearent that the Republican
Convention made no .mistake when
they selected him as jffi 6 standard
bearer of the grapj o|d party ift Ari
zona. All factions in the party have
united in assisting to elect him and
present a united front to the common
epeniy. All diffsrencep and disagree
ments have disappeared, and the ut
termost harmony prevails. This is in
marked contrast with f,he opposing
party, which at present ha* two can
didates for the office and two separate
central committees, each claiming to
represent the Democratic party in this
cpnteat
The people of Arizona are greatly
interested in the result and ivill ex
press their views at the polls in no
ufipeftafn jyay. Statphopfj is the issue
and the peoplo cannot be fooled by
the Demqpratic spell binders. They
recognize tjie rpal apd pnly issue be
fore phem apd yill vote for N. O.
Murphy.
The prospects for Republican suc
cess grow brighter every day.

RECLAIM THE pESERT.
History shows that it been in
the irrigated regions qf t|ie egrt|) that
not only the densest but more highly
civilized population pave their
homes. The great valleys of the W©st
if properly reclaimed offer bqqndless
possibilities. Tho building of storage
reservoirs and the yeclaiipipg of arid
America would rapidly and enor
mously enlarge the demand fpr every
thing the West buys from the Eastern
merchant and manufacturer.
A BOLD ROBBERY.
Early last Saturday morning it was
discovered that the safe in the Mesa
post office had been blown up by
burgjars and the contents rifled.
An examination showed that the
thieves had rp a d e entrance in the
rear of Judge Woyh* office and had
worked their way to the post office
safe. Having previously well sup
plied themselves with drills ancj other
tools from the tool chest of our local
carpenters and also from local black
smiths, they bored a hole in the safe
and grpd a shot. The result was not
satisfactory to them and they bored
anptfler hole. This time the ex
plosives did the work and the door
was blown off.
The thieves seem to have been in
considerable of a burry as in their
h&ste they left quite a good amount of
money stowej away in the top drawer
yrhich see pi s to have escaped their
notice. They obtained about $1,247
in money, stamps, et?.,.and decamped.
As so op as possible ttyc alarm was
given and the sheriff and local officers
were soon in pursuit of the criminals,
yrhose foot marks were quite plain,
especially as one had a peculiarly
marked shoe Constable W. A. Bur
ton arrested two men, who were held
on suspicion and locked up in the
Tempo jail, In a short time they had
broke jail and were at liberty again.
Qne of tbetp was re-captured at the
Star lodging house, and is now in the
county jail at Phoepix.
Ttis generally thought that Con
stable Burton b*dthe right' m*». u
officer* are hop op the trail of the
missing one.
This is the third time our ffical
post office has been robbed. Each
time a considerable amount has been
stolen.

The Tempo News says the base

Mr. J. S. Allen, the Qo.-Op. clerk,
is now in Cache Valley, visitin g
friends, but will soon return home.

Twelve of her sons are now attending
school, and £.oran Dana is expected to

Mr. R. E. Allen, who completed
the book keeping course last spring,
went to Rochester, N-Y-i lO take some
branches which he could not get here.
Mr. Allen, having completed
eastern course, is now a teacher in
the commercial college.
The Sub-Freshmen, like the othe£
departments of the academy* has a
very large attendance.
Nearly three hundred students are
taking the beginner’s course in Eng
lish. Prof. Nelson has arranged for
a repetition olass ip grammar for the
benefit of those students who are
backward iivth&t study.
The students were very much sur
prised the other morning upon finding
that the building was heated. After
shivering for a week they are now jn
a state to appreoiate the temperature.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
The State SnpfJQrpfi Court has ren
dered a decision of importance ot
miders and prospectors. H. Mann
brought suit against Budlong A Deck,
demanding his possessory right to the
Ontario quartz mine. Budlong A
Deck alleged a failure on the part of
IVfann to perform the necessary amount
of work required by law, and in the
lower court they won, Mann also
owned the Jeanette claim on the same
lode, a continuous and overlapping
elaim of the Ontario location. lie
drove thteo tunnels in the Jeanette
claim to develop both propertiee. the *
r- ' r - jr • *.7 r r r
work repramuting more labofHalid —
fnoney than required for both claims.
The lower court held that the work
performed on the Jeanette did not
tend to develop the Ontario.' The
Supreme Court reverses that decision.
It says that the court shall not sub
stitute its own judgment and wisdom
as to the best methods of developing
the mine in place of tha+ of the qwner.
The Supreme Court holds that the
tunnoling tended to develop both
mines, and the*cost of the work being
far in excess of what is required by
law and the work heing in progress at
the tiipe of the defendants’ entry, it
can not be said that the original loca
tion hat} been abandqned.—Mining A

Thos. Armstrong, jr., was a visitor
