County Ticket.
HoE. ]. 2. KNAPP.

The Republican Council ticket is strong one and commendS itselft to the support of tke voters of Pima county regardless of party affiliations. Pima county hst large interests at stake ID the next Legislature and should be ably represented. No man nominated for the office of Councilman is better cal eulsted by natural ability and experience to be of servIce to the Territory than J. F. Knapp. He has large acq uaintancs with men who will be at Prescott from other sections of the Territory and has had the advantage of Legislative ex- perience. He thoroughly understands the wants of the Territory, IS largely interested in mining here, and can be relied upon ss safe legislator. Pima county has reasons to place confidence ID hlm for when representing an adloln- ing county he never failed to respond to Pims's call and stood by our delega- tion upon every important measure. These are matters which the public should not overlook when they go to the pollR on Tuesday next. It is i'm porssnt that the county be represented by competent men and it IS also im- pOrtsnt that past services be recognized. Mr. Enapp's claims in this respect should not be ignored. Let the balance of the Territory see that Pima county does not forget past services and 1t make others more willing to stand by Pima county. Be sure and not forget 70 hsve your ticket read 'for member of Council J. F. Knapp"

HORTON is a mine wrecker.
To tine Electors of Arizona Territory

TUCsON, Nov. ?, 1882.
 EDITORS CITIZEN: l desire to call your attention to the importance of se- lecting, at the coming election, the best man for Superintendent of public school The schools are but compara- lively in their infancy. It is true, for the population and resources of the Terri tory they are marvels of excellence, but they need careful moulding and nursing, and to do this We want a man who Is heart and soul ID favor of the public school system and who will devote all his time ani energies to make this sys- ten a success.
 A.E. Davis by hls brave words in defence of tue pubhc school system while a member of the Legislature showed that he could be trusted with this sacred interest. He has never faltered while his oppo- nent, W. B. Horton, drew d salary for a number of years Gs public school teach er, but each year he showed less and less interest in his school until 1t be- came apparent that all he cared for was the salary he drew, and now he is endeavo1ng to defeat his opponent by going to those who he believes are not in favor of public education and telling them what a great outrage DavIs per petrated in opposing an appropriation for the benefit of the Sisters school This l state as a fact which I can prove. Don't trust such a man to superintend the public schools. Elect Davis who is tried and true, and the school interest will be safe. Very Respectfully, 4. P. K. SAFFoRD.

Can,t Cook as Nother Did.

How many a young wife's heart is saddened and happiness scattered be- cause she cannot "cOOk as mother did. It k strange, sadly strange, and yet we all know It Is true. How many d time has the tender-hearted reporter felt his soul bursting with grief as he told the narrowing story of some poor woman, whose cheerful sunshine had turned to dismal darkness. just because she could not "cOOk as mother did" And how It delights the heart of the reporter when he chances tO hear of one devoted young wife who IS rescued from the gloomy fate of so many. ID .-l.aeT SO simple and easy that the only wonder IS that all are not saved. This one to whom be now refers was led a blushing and blooming bride, but few short weeks ago, to the altar by one of our most promising and prominent young men. He promised Co do everything iu his power to make her happy, but iu an evll hour he made the dangerous dis covery that she could not "coOk a- mother did He told her SO, and from that hour the life-hght of happiness be gan to dIe out from her once radiant eyes. The bloom that put to shame the fancied perfection of the rose departed from her cheek, the voice that welcomed him 10 a happy heart lni home grew silent as the grave, and the young hus- band saw that something must be done soon. He a-ked the sorrOwful wife why she was SO sad, and she told him because she cOnld not "cOok as lIs mother did" but if she had Royal Baking Powder he could sCy SO no longer. Like a sensible fellow. he ordered a lozen boxes at once, and now he says that he is afraid that his wife will raise the roof of the house some day, but he don't care, for she is happy.

TIE doubtful honor of having written the communication in this mornings Star attacking Ex-Governor Stafford is given 10 Hugh Farley or L. c. Hughes. As both these gentlemen inhsbit glass houses of particularly frail structure 1t Is no surprise to the public that they hide behind nom de plume. As one of these gentlemen was removed from an important Federal office at the ins- tance of Gov. Stafford and the other was the wet nurse of Horton's candidacy, the anImus of the attack is apparent It will fall powerless, however, as the Governors interest iD and devotion to the public school system of this Terri tory rests upon too firm foundation to be disturbed by such assaults as that of the Star.

 Governor Ortiz being desirous os ,;... ing the city of Mexico asked apJ II talned permission from the Legisf.,,,-- to absent himself from the Ststs 1- three months for that purposs consequently disbanded the trcc,.s --s der his command and repaired ,o L, L-- home m Hermoslllo to make preps-s tions for hIs intended jOurnev.

Mining NOteS,


 The Grand Central bullion yield for OctOb Der was Sl70,0O0. The shipment of ore to the mill is 90 tons per day.
 The Contention yield for October was Sl40,OO0.
 The yield of the Stonewall mine Tombstone, to present time IS about 5000 tons of ore.
 4 specimen of ore taken from the Black Jack mine, located near Bisbee, which gave a liberal assay in copper and s9O0 Tn gold. The property belongs an to eastern company, and the work of development is being pushed rapidly forward.
 The Silver Bear proves that there are other mines in Bisbee outside of her Queen. A site for a smelter has been selected, and before sixty days Bisbee will have another bullion producer.
 A work that every property holder and friend of Tombstone has long hoped for is about to be inaugurated. In few months heavy pumps will be at work raising the water from the lower levels of the Grand Central and Contention Consolidated mines, and the mysteries below the 600 foot level revealed to the world. While E. B. Gage, superintend- ent of the Grand Central mine, and F. H. Wiley, secretary, were in San Fran cisco a meeting of the directors of the C. intention Consolidated was held, and tue project jointly discussed. 1t was finally agreed that pumps should be placed in the old works of the Grand Central and as soon as sinking below the 600 level was resumed, the water should be pumped up to that point and thence run through the level connecting with the Flora Morrison, and from there hoisted 10 the surface. All the machln- cry necf ssary for this work has been ordered ia San Francisco, and will be completed and forwarded without de- lay. The ore reserves in the two mines mentioned are ample to insure the usual dividends for one year at the lowest calculation, before which time they can be thoroughly prospected on the 600 and 700 foot levels. Should good ore bodies be found below the water level, and the indications are tlattering in that direction, the future of Tombstone will be insured for an indefinite period, and an era of prosperity dawn upon 1t such as not yet experienced.-Epitaph.

A.D. OTIs is one of the most careful and successful business men of this city. He is not an office seeker Tn the ordinary acceptance of that term, but is man well qualified for the position for which he has been nominated. For the office of Supervisor the best busi- ness talent that can be found should be chosen. It is responsible position and the county business should not be trusted to incompetent hands. All the Republican nominees fill the requlre- ments, and the pubic funds will be ju- diciously expended in their hands. Tax payers can safely trust to their ad- ministering affairs economically.

Wicks is on the wrong side of the po- htical fence. for he Is gentleman of high character and first class ability, and we are satisfied that politically he does injustice to his better instincts. Of course he will not be elected, but he cannot count his canvass as labor en- tirely wasted, for he must have made many acquaintances and will reap the advantage in his future practice.

WHEN the leading Democrats were discussing the candidates for Sheriff before the convention, they ignored every man who was short of funds. They said we must nominate Shaw be- cause he has got money and will spend it to help along the ticket. That IS the reason Shaw was nominated, and not Gates or some of the other prominent Democrats. Shaw's money was what they wanted. After election Shaw will not have so much money and he will wish some one else had been nominated.

THE present Recorder, Chas. R. Drake is the best man for that office. His op- ponent IS running on the fact that he IS g good fellow. Drake is good enough for any one and in addition to the best officer the county has ever had iu the Recorders office. It is one of the most important offices in the county. On the accuracy of its records depends our prop erty rights. We cannot be too careful in the selection of man to fill this i'm portant office. We cannot afford to lose a good officer and take the chances on a new man, especially an old deputy of Carpenters.

WALTER l.. VAIL, one of the Republl- can nominees for Supervisors, repre- sents one of the most important inter ests in Pima county. The stock inter- ca, can hardly be called second even to that of mining. l. has the advantage that it is permanent, and Arizona's cat :le ranges will be a source of wealth when our rich bOnanzas have become matters of tradition. It is eminently proper that this interest should be rep resented in the body that controls the tsIErion ofthe county and the expendi- cure of the public funds.
