IN spite Of all the complaint of
hard times ali over The United
States, cur exports, during the
year ending June 3Oth, 1878, were
nearly 260,COO,0OO greater than
our imports. It may be claimed
that this great sum of money has
only enriched the few; but this is
not so; the bulk of it has gone
into the shop or upon the farm.
Our exports during the same year
were very much greater than
during any Of the preceding years.

ARIZONA SENTINEL.
\ Gaining Candidate .

Mr. Davis chances Of election
to the position of Delegate to
Congress appear 10 be improving
still more rapidly than had been
anticipated, though he has still
much distance to cover before he
can catch up with Stevens. He
is already ahead Of the other can
didates, without doubt. He has
entered upon an active canvass,
aud i'll addressing the people
wherever he goes he is increas-
ing the enthusiasm for him. This
feeling is one that grows; as men
fad that his political chances are
improving there is greater dis
position to consider his candi-
dacy, and favorably. What has
heretofore worked against Davis
has been a feeling that he had no
chance OF election, and that Ste
vens was sure Of it; this feeling
is beginning TO wear away.
Davis speech at Prescott, last
week, has been variously com
mented on. The two papers al
that place favor other candidates,
and would, naturally, not repre-
sent the marked change it made
IN Davis favor. Letters from
there say that his speech made
him many friends. CampbelPs
supporting paper, the Enterprise,
criticises it so viciously that there
is no doubt Of its having pro
duced marked and important
effect. 1t WAS thought necessary
10 counteract that effect, and B.
Morgan, Esq, spoke the follow
ing night in favor of Campbell.
Morgan is q brilliant orator, but
his efforts fell fat, because most
of his hearers had, only q few
months ago, heard him denource
Campbell before a CoUrt-he fairly
fayed him then, and, apparently,
left him without a shred OF q
character. No use for Morgan TO
ever puff Campbell after that
not at Prescott. WOOlsey also
essayed to speak for himself, but
was grossly insulted and cried
down. Then Davis was long and
loudly called for, and was received
even better than the night before.
From other places, whore Davis
has spoken, come equally enthu-
siastic accounts OF his reception
by the people. The fact that
Davis is a Republican, while the
other three candidates are Demo
Gratis. is in his favor; it gives him
the advantage Of any prestige
that may be drawn from party
feelings. While the Democratic
sentiment is divided among three
candidates, Republican prefer
ences are attracted to one, espec-
tally rs it becomes clear that this
one has a fair chance OF being
elected. Davis record is clean
and clear on the question of our
Free School System; that CT the
others is less so.

tectiDg the frontier with troops.
A much smaller expenditure on
schools would, in a few years,
give the frontier a far more eff

August 51sts about $50 m, there
came 10 Charles Bakers ranch a man with
a sort Of blackboard and two horses. He
was a man above average in size, dark
complexion, and full beard partially gray
He was from PhGniZ and was determined
10 keep on toward Yuma that evening
though a storm was then threatening,
which that night proved to be the heaviest
known here for years. Nearly a week ar-
ter one Of Bakers vaquerOs reported wag-
on tracks, about a miles below the ranch
circling around as if made by some driver
lost in the dark. Search was made, which
discovered the blackboard, harness, blan-
kets, small pistol, gun, and provisions {;
but no paper or anything by which to
learn the owners name. The mans trail
was followed for two days: when last heard
from it was going in the direction of An
telope Peak, or a little below. The horses
had rot been found at date of last advices.

current here that the man was DIR. Hop

there he had gone for his team and had

1ctnl = lIO,JOU
The shipment Of I0,g28 pounds of Stone
wall Jackson ore, is of the same rich stuff
that has always attracted so much atten-
ton in San Francisco and Witch has real
lied from 81 to $40 per pound, Our esti-
mate Oh $50, coo for this lo;, is probably be-
low, rather than over, the real value. The
1909 pounds of concentrations are from
Baldwin's Pinal mill, and were made from
one OF the old silver King dumps; they
are valued at over 81 per pound.
Last week we noted shipment hence of
S79,523 bullion, that figure included 25,-
GOO pounds of Silver King concentrations,
which We valued at that many dollars.
Returns Of sales of that lot show that it
realized at the rate of $500 per ton. or
Sl.S5 per pound. Therefore, we can add
S2l,250 more to that weeks shipment,
making the total for the week ending
September 18th, S1GO,973. Even then this
does not include proceeds of over 1000
pounds of Silver King nuggets" which
are melted at refinery, and from which We
have heard no returns; they have usually
realized IS or 50 per pound.

EyOOIsey Speaks.

Efr. Morgan spoke at Prescott
last Saturday, and tried to make
Campbell look big by trying to
make WoOlsey look small. That
made w. hot, and he, too, spoke
q piece, i'll which he denied ever
trading his legislative vote on the
Capital removal question for
Yavapai votes at the coming cleo
ton. But he did say that Camp
bells man Friday, Marion, VoIun-
tarily pledged his vote and sup
port to him, WoOlsey. That has
already been said by others who
know. That pledge has been
pretty we'll kept-for Marion.
When W. pitched into Davis the
crowd made such racket that he
smut up, and got still hotter. He
has now gone over to the Little
Colorado to cool OFF. Beach went
too, to fan him.

Can pbeEl in Mexico.

Yes, Campbell has been in
Mexico; but not in the Mexican
War, as was claimed by Mr.. Nor
gan, III political speech made at
Prescott last Saturday. Campbell
is a native Of Scotland. After he
had become a naturaliZed citizen
of the United States he had occa-
sion to travel through Mexico.
So he went to the English Consul,
in New York, and got a passport
as a British subject. This is a
fact, and we can prove it. We
know all about " American citi-
zens;" Yuma has got one-a big
one-and he has been in Mexico
too. When they want TO so to
Congress, or to the Territorial
Council, they are good Ameri-
cans; when they travel in Mexico,
or are convicted of crime there,
then they are " British subjects"
Our chap was only half natural
SEED until 1873; then he became
" full blood" Yes, sir! Campbell
was in Mexico, and waved the
Ameritish-Britican flag there.

write you again regarding that ditch

question, which was published Feb. 18th
In the Issue of Feb. 18th, Mr.. Barrett
gives eolution with quite different an
swer. Nov 1t is certain that one of Us has
given the wrong answer, and of course I
think it il Mr.. Barrett. The following is
the problem as published:
Two men, A and B, are employed to dig
ditch 100 feet long. They are to have
500 for digging and to share equally in
the money, i. {. $50 piece. But b is to
get 25 cents per rod more than A. What
portion Of the ditch must each one dig?
Ny answer: A must Dig 5O.37s766l4ls
feet. B must dig 496el2S3S3Sl fleet.
Mr.. Barretts answer: A digs 81, 1852
rods. Bdigs ,3S4SS rods.
Nov, Mr.. Editor, what bothers me is how
Mr.. Barrett can have A to dig Sc, 1852 rods
and B 43,84SS rods, when the ditch is only
to be 100 feet long.

THE LAST.
A Few Remarks on the Problem
Business.

Below will be found another solution to
problem which appeared in the BAzoo som
time ago. We will remark right here, tina
any man ever approaching within fiv
miles Of this Office with problem in hi
possession for publication Gill be shot {,
death with revoiverly.
In an unguarded moment, six weeks ago
We were seduced into publishing an alge
braIc conundrum. We didn't know the
answer; nor We don't believe the fellow who
proposed il did.
The enemy. seeing this breach, poured in
upon US. All kinds of problems came in.
Then came the answers If We didn't pub
lish them they got mad If We did, those
who proposed them swore they wasn't
right. We had no chalk, and our slate
was broke long ago. Never was good At
figures. either. Been trying 10 add ali our
life. Just - soon as We put down one to
carry, some cussed bill would come in and
subtract il.
Just our luck.
Tried addition, division and silence but
the stakeholder run of every time.
Tried . thousand times to make 5 70
into 1. but it would Break Of, every whack.
We know all about rules, but they are
column rules; and We know all about COL |
umns, but they amt the figure kind.
And ne don't care continental picayune |
whether and 8 make IL, or liz.
If A. wants to dig ditch 3 rods or 2s,-
600 rods long, its none Of our business. Let
him dig and be dug. This is q free
country. If B. wants to 60 in with HIM
and dig / Of it for 500, he needn't come to
us after he gets through and ask us how
much he is to get. We don't know, nor We
don't care, whether he ever gets a cussed
cent.
We don't believe God Almighty ever
made man in his own image to sit down on
stump and ask hard questions.
Nor We don't believe he requires . man
to drop all hollis and quit his work to sit
pown and to:turs his brain to find out If a
fishs head is 2 inches long, whether his
tail A6, or whether the dern 6sh ever had
q tail. Il
So know all persone, BY these presents
that We have gone out of the conundrum
