QUIJoToA, Nov. 1,1SSI. Aug. Waterman, Esq, Secretary Peer. less Mining Company. San Francisco, California:
 Dear Sir: All work Is going on as usual
 Peerless tunnel No. is in 346 feet. The vein has been reached, and we are driving south along the west side of the same. The general appearance is very tiattering, showing a we'll defined vein and some good ore. This drift will be continued south until We reach point directly under the winze, when an up- Iaise will be started to connect with the same.
 Crocker north drift Is in - feet. We have cut into ore which assays from $50 to S1,WO. When this ore was first reached we turned our drift and ran along the east side of 1t for quite a dis tance. We have now come back and started the drift straight ahead to as- certain the extent of the ore.
 Peerless wiuze, on top of the hill, Is down l5O feet, and Is in a soft, favorable looking material, and good progress is being made.
 The greater portion of the machinery for the air compressor has arrived, and grading Is nearly completed to erect the same.
 A brick kiln is being put up. which will furnish all the brick We will re- quire for compressor and mill. We have also contracted for 1000 cords of wood to be delivered at the works.
 Yours truly,

THE THUMB PAPER LIE.

Paul lost one good Republican vote at the primary when he stepped up to a man, and, tapping him on the shoulder, said "he hoped he'd meet him on the desert again when he was without wa ter" He mistook his man Tn a double sense.
 The above slur at PsIl is from the Thumb paper edition of Shaw's Sun shine and Sorrow.
 The facts in the case are as follows: Last summer Sheriff Paul went out to Sil- yer Lake, where he met couple of pros pectors, one O. whom came to him and said: Paul, we are going out to the Cababi on prospecting tour; we have our grub, tools and everything We need, but no money with which t0 buy water. Can't you give us a little money to buy water?
 Sheriff Paul ran his hand down into his pocket and brought out S3. which he gave to the prospector with the remark that he guessed that would do.
 Paul then took a swim in the lake, and during the time he saw the pros- pectors drinking in the saloon. When he came cut the other pros pector came to Paul and asked him for money to buy water with. Paul told him that he had just given his partner SS for that purpose. Prospector No. ? then sad that they had taken some drinks and there was not enough of the 8 left to buy water. Paul then gave him S2j0 and started home.
 On the day of the Republican primary election in this place, one of these same prospectors was on the streets doing everything he could against Paul Paul went to him and asked him what "he was kicking about and made the re- mark, "that he might want some more money to buy water on the desert some time,r and reminded him of the time that he gave him and his partner S550 at Silver Lake for that purpose.
 That is all there is to this story. It IS a fair sample of the lies that have been circulated about Paul during the past month, and most of them are by just such scalawsgs as the one above re- ferred to.

The Narrow Gauge.

Hon. Wm. Beard has received letter from W. H. Culver, president of the Marrow Gauge Railroad Company, to the effect that the building of the road from Tucson to Tweeds Camp has been contracted for. Work on the road was to have been started at once, but the contractor writes that on account of the presidential excitement it Is impossible to do business m the East. After the presidential contest is settled work on the proposed road will commence. We hope the citizens of Gila county will do all in their power tO assIst in the build ing of this road. It IS of great neces- sIty to the prosperity of this county. Globe Chronicle.

THE AGONY OVER

Yes, the die is cast. The CITIZEN has done what little it could for the cause it represented, and while it went as far as was consistent in advocacy of the men and measures they represent, we trust that we have said or done nothing to inlure any good man who may have differed with us politically or otherwise. We do not belong to that class who belIeve the world will come to an end if things do not go exactly as We desire they should go.
 If c. P. Head is elected to congress or Fred G. Hughes IS elected to the coun- cil, we will accept the situation grace fully, and will lay no straw in their way 80 long as they pursue a consistent course and work for the interest of the people.
 If Eugene O. Shaw is the man that the people of Pima county have elected SLeriff, we assure him that he will find no truer or stronger support than will be extended to him by the CITIZEN ID the discharge of his official duty, SO long as he has right and justice on his side. While these gentlemen we.e not the choice of the CITIZEN, and while we have done all we could to de- feat them, yet if they are elect ed we take the broad grounds that they will not act as the elect of a party, but the representatives of all the people. Such being the case our op- position to them ceases at the polls, and We gracefully submit to the will of the people whatever it may be. The same may be said us to other gentlemen who are on the Democratic ticket who may receive a majority of the votes cast to- day. We hold no malice against any member of the opposing party, and we trust none is held against us. If the people differ from us they are as likely to be right as we are. So be it for BIENNIUM

Suicide at Gila Bend.

CHA BEND. Nov. ..
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The people of our village were very much surprised at the announcement that Dr. Ralph Palmer had committed suicide on the ranch of his father, eight miles from this station. It was found on investigation that he was in the house cooking dinner for himself and father, and as his father Deared the house he saw him standing with his hands folded across his breast. Before the father reached him he fell. and as the father tried to raise him be found that he had plunged a large butcher knife into his heart, which caused death almost instantly. The de- ceased was 26 years of age. a native of Illinois, and educated for physician. He and his father have resided here for about fifteen months and were very much respected by their neighbors.

Particulars Of the Attempt to Wreck
 Train.

Special Correspondence of the CITIZEN.
 DENYING, N. M., Nov. 1st.
 For several days We have had quite an excitement over the fact of a misplaced switch on the Southern Pacific at Zuni siding, ten miles east of here. From all that can be learned of the affair now, it looks ss if it had been done by some Mexicans or Indians for simple mischief, as at the time and place it was not pos sible to wreck any train. Although dil- igent search was made by the detective, no clue was obtained of the parties who did 1t. Last night a report reached here that train robbers had attempted to stop the A. T. < s. F. passenger train going east which left here on the night of the 30th, near SOcorro, and would no doubt have been successful in robbing the train but for the cOolness of the en- gineer. The robbers were eight in num- Der, and had piled rocks on the track as sort of barricade, Tn plain sight of the engineer, and behind which they lay partially conceded. Az the train came to dead standstill the engineer was ordered to come down, winch he did, but at the instant he left the engine he pulled the throttle valve wide open and the engine started ahead at high rate Of speed, the engine being so close to the rock pile that the coWcatcher dis placed the rocks without injuriuR or throwing the train from the rail, and moved off at such a high rate of speed that the robbers could not catch on. They fired into the cab and tried to kill the fireman, also at the conductor who came out on the platform to see what was wrong. Nearly every window in the train was punctured by bullets but for tunately no one was injured. The en- zine cab was fairly riddled with bullet holes. As soon as :he fireing commenced l all the passengers got down on the floor | ot tho cars, and thus escaped injury. l The engiDeer however was left behind | to fare as best be might with the rob | bers. As soon as the facts were learned | the Santa Fe people sent large armed l force to the locality to bring m the en- gineer, and fl possible arrest the would- | be robbers for whom they offer Sl,OJO I reward for each. So far nothing has been heard of the fate of the engineer. The town Is badly infested with tramps who loaf around the $. P. depot build ing and strike every person they meet for assistance. There gre so many of them that their miserable appeals so frequently uttered, is becoming disgust ing.
 The weather has been warm and ex- ceeiingly pleasant day times, hut very cold during the night, heavy frost fall ing every night. J.

THE ELECTION.
A Quiet Time. But Much scratching Done

The morning of the great day which de cides the destiuies of the United States for the next four years and those of thu Territory for the two years of the future opened as bright and crisp as one could desire. The people were abroad early being stimulated to activity by a grea duty to be performed and the morning edition of the CITIZEN, which awok' them to realization of efforts necessary for the success of the Republican party The polls were finally opened at tho south entrance of the court house, anC the earlier votes were cast by those whose minds had been fully made as tC their political preferences. Gradually the string of voters grew longer and the button-holing more firm and earnest, vel no great amount of electioneering was witnessed until later in the day. Ir fact, the whole interest centered upon the contest for sheriff, and many kinds of tickets were made to carry the greatest strength for either Paul oI Shaw.
 Until noon there was but little drunk, enness to be seen upon the streets, but human nature m many instances sue. cumbed to the oft repeated draughts of the inebriating beverage, and Tn conse. quence some noisy demonstrations were heard upon the streets at various times.
 A ludlcrous scene was observed at a saloon down Congress street, abou, noon, when a gust of wind came up. It so happened that an intOxIcated individ- ual was just entering the door and an- other was going out. The gust of wInd blew the screen door violently shut, and 1t struck the person coming cut, quite violently. Mistaking the source of the blow, and seeing the other party before him. he struck out wildly for his man. His advances were as promptly respond. ed to, and a small tempest resulted, without any damage.
 At noon, when the pools closed for lunch time, there had been 579 votes boiled, and after dinner a big throng crowded the entrance to the court house, and considerable excitement seemed to pervade the multitude on Pennington street. No disturbance Oc. cured, and as the CITIZEN went to press at four o'clock there had been boiled a total vote of 9iS votes.
 The general impression at this hour is that the Republican ticket Is elected, with perhaps a very few exceptions. Sheriff Paul wIll probably receive a very small majority in the ely, and the bal ance of the Republican ticket IS un- doubtedly elected.

THE more news received from New York the more one becomes bewIldered as to the result. That it will require an official count 10 determine it admits of scarcely a doubt, and the chances are about equally divided between the two great parties. The plurality on either side is so small that neither will con- cede the state until the actual figures are known beyond conjecture. Should New York be lost to the Republicans there is possibility that the few Butler electors undoubtedly elected will be able to name the next President of the United States or throw the choice into the House of Representatives. It would present a strange feature in American politics if such a proceeding should place Butler in the White House. It is certain that in an emergency of this kind, rather than to give the Presidency to Cleveland, Butler would throw his strength for Blaine in case he cannot force the mountain of Republican cleo tors to come to his Mahomet. The mat ter as it now stands is full of problems which will be solved only by the final count or the developments of time.

prestige in this progressive age.

THE smoke of the silent battle is
 clearing away, and we can here and there get glimpse of the result of the fight. without the ability 70 view the whole field. The indications are, at this hour, that Blaine will carry New York and Indiana by small majoritles, and that he will be elected President. The meager returns are being closely scanned and careful estimates made upon the basis of past elections, and yet tLe fig ures present no facts worthy of great consideration. In Arizona there IS reason to believe that we have elected a Republican Delegate to Congress and our candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, by a good majority. In Pima county the whole Republican ticket with single exception, is elect ed. Sheriff Paul will get small major ity, but it will require the counting of all the ballots to make the result a cer- tainty. It is certainly a victory winch the Republicans of this county have great reason tofeel proud of, and it shows clearly that Pima county is 8 reliable Republican county under all circum- stances. Only few precincts have given Democratic majorities. The city of Tucson shows good Republican major ity and has done itself proud in its rec ord of Tuesday.

In the midst of the excitement of the election the encouraging reports from the Quilotoas may not have received that due consideration they deserve. In his conservative report the superintend- ent says that the body of ere in the Crocker north drift assays from $50 to $l,OO0. Considering the large body of ore encountered. this statement is very significant, md 1t means that the great Comstock excitement is to be re-enscted in Pima county, and upon a grander scale than the former.
