Arizona weekly citizen., 1888-10-27

A journey along the great outwsy of Pinsl County, the road from Casa Grsnde to Silver King shows the chief products of the country si present to be dust and candidates.
 Owing to the lack of rains this sum mer the roads are worse than ever; with the dust hub bigh;-snd if the wind | accompanies ones conveyance winch its | always accommodating enough to do, | the result is counterfeit of Hsdes wor thy of the most fertile imagination.
 The man that finds every evil not un- mixed with good, may obtsIn some sat faction in knowing, when enveloped ID his dust cloud, that much of 1t, came from the grinding the Luge freight wagons give the road, and that the chok- ing, penetrating. eye-irritsting sub stance, is but another sign, a symptom so to say, of the large business now car ried on by the country. So easily sstis- fed an individual, however, would argue the hourishing condition of the Iron trade, should be, by chance. let down upon the busint ss end of tack, end might even obtain supreme satisfaction from tying a lighted candle to the seat of hIs pants, jumping out of fourth story window, and imagining himself to be comet.
 The candidates are leigon, fully ss numerous as the flowers which bloom ID
 the spring.
 Their headquarters are in Florence, their hindq uarters. like Gen. Pope's, for
 the most part, are in the saddle while
 soliciting votes.
 This year, party lines have not been
 drawn. No conventions have met. The result has been, every candidate for office IS & free lance. Each one held his | own primaries, elected his own dele
 gates, held his own convention, nomins-
 ted himself, did, or did not endorse
 the administration, national and terri
 torial, adopted hls own platform, and has since spent much time rstifying
 himself, and explaining the dubious
 blanks in his platform over the various
 town bars and through the msgnifyInR
 influences of sugar, lemon, the thick
 bottoms of glasses, and-so forth.
 The candidate that most frequently
 ratifies, leads the procession Tn the
 chances for election, for a modern Flor
 entiAn can not be convinced, unless he
 sees all sides of s question. and so mar
 row is b - original vision that before nls
 view can be made comprehensive, It Is
 most necessary that hIs pupils be dilateo
 by the vivifyinR power of sour mash
 white rye, mountain dew, jersey hgaten
 ing, Indian whiskey and their congen CTS.
 The question of +who will be the Dex
 sheriff?" is involved in some doubt
 The running is between Jere Freyer RnC , Bill Truman. Freyer is the present IE
 cumbent of the office and hss been II
 some respects Rn admirable sheriff. Jus
 TOW he seems to be setting the pace Truman, who is close mp, Is a new maj but has large following ln Final snC Silver King, and upon the San Pedr' , where there is some dissffections toward ! Fryer. The knowing ones, predict
 close race, with scarcely twenty vote
 separating them st the finish. The fight for the probate iudgeship the most interesting of all of their con tests op the one hsnd is Benson Of PInsl . justice of the peace in tbRt town sn hon ored and trusted employer Cf the Sllve . King Company, R man who hF7 neve
 failed to do his duty according to his owl
 lights, one who IS cordially hated by th | gamblers and saloon bummtrs, and th , l others whose manner of lie cause theI !, from time to time to be summoned bs , fore him.
 On the other hand, is Judg
 Levi Ruggles, whose conduct at th |, time of the death of Mir. Rittenhous, 1, | was so utterly reprehe.sIOle and lswles
 l and who has here, in 6n article givlo
 l the facts of thls occurrence, so mere 5 lessly scored by the Enterprise. J Florence itself IS quiet, This sstoi
 ishing piece of news has been recOrde
 daily of Florence ever since its InceI t tion. Up to the present time such stat n ment has excited no comment, nothln IS else being expected; now It excites con {. siderable regret as better things hsN l. lately been expected of her.
 ,t From present indications this se re son must take its place with preceC of ing ones in its nOn-productivenes a This condition of affairs Is due Tn pa to the dry Summer. but more largely litigation over priority of water righ t- ss between the smaller dItches and il 'g large Florence canal.
 10 It would seem that much of this ' needless and that 8 small amount of pu le lie spirit, shown by certain individual 'e would smooth matters over so that val le able time ID retaining these desc g. lands might not be lost.
 d The Florence Canal Company whi le waiting for the sdiu 3sment of these d.
 faculties IS strengthening the weak pol ,e tions of the canal and IS asking for bl, ,e for the construction of 8 huge storsi ,s reservoir not far from the railroad, Er ,e the younger Mir. Payne IS strong in h ,e belief that active operetioDs I'll alor l. the line will shortly be insugurated. h the meantime Fiorentlans do not despa h. They know they have good thing aI b hsyins been in a chronIo condition g, waiting for so many years they do n' y mind year or two more of the san
 spathetIc state.
 n Two new physicians have lately con c. to Florence, one Rt least fillsa lOngte T. want. It lis question II with two q I want is net well filled with a certsi re amount of physician remaining ove lt One of these gentlemen IS Dr. Allen A Brooklyn, \. r.. whom Dr. hInnsird n Silver King highly recommends. re 1E le other is Dr. Adler, lately 8 resident p Tucson. The residents of Florence sl ,t very much pleased at this accession r, medical skill, for the growing prscti' Ie had for some time been greater than l r. Harvey could attend to.
 & PInal and Silver King run on as usJ If al. The condition of the mine IS neyt D. tsllIng source of interest. Faith ID g hPs to 8 large degree been restored, - the large output of ore and bullIon du e ing the three months past, has enable V tbe company to meet their notes befoi 8 maturity.
 f Both camps are ordinarily very quie n owing to the large number of marie . men in the population. Just now ,ss . Florence, the approaching election ' the sI sorbing topic and the local boss6
 are busy msrshslling their fences for th
 fray.
 Mir. Arthur Macy, for so long the su perinteudent of the Silver King Comps Dy is DO longer serving in that capacity having on Monday last turned over tb
 conduct of the business to hIs successor Mir. Adams. This is ID accordance witl IA
