That Seattle people appreciate an artistic pro-
duction OF . drama, even though it may have
been presented again and again In the city, both
In opera and BY acknowledged leaders who
have won the highest tTiumphs on the stage, II
evidenced by the liberal patronage extended
cordray's theater during the run Of sCamilIe."
The fact that this performance meets with
nightly applause 10 no small tribute to the tai
emit OF the Cordray company. To those who
have observed closely the general competition
OF visiting troupes, It cannot have escaped no.
tice that In many cases the production II often
. one man or one woman act, where all the
minor characters are subordinated to the prin.
ctpal. 1t is here that well trained local stock
company Is more forcible and superior. Every
character Is drawn with greater fullness, and
the requisite importance given it. The en-
semble II therefore more harmonious and better
balanced, and character delineation receives
more studious treatment. The public, there

Last Evenings Temperance Meeting.

Miss De Veilling's address last evening was concerning the general unprofitableness of the use of alco- holic liquors, and many facts and in- disputable statements were given to show that alcoholic liquors were really and truly not necessary in the preservation of health, the continu- anee of life or the cure of disease.
 She also showed clearly that the use of these ''fiery liquids" is a detri- ment to society in all its relations and inimical to the general interests of humanity in all respects.
 The highest interests of the homes and the people of Prescott, as we'll as justice to this earnest speaker and the cause she represents, call for larger attendance on the part of our citizens, at these public meetings which are capable of doing our com munity if properly employed.
 The meeting this evening will be at the Baptist church at s o'clock p. m.
 At II a. m. and 8 p. m. tomorrow, Sunday, Miss De Yelling will hold services in the opera house. It is earnestly hoped large audiences will attend these concluding meetings of the series. There is a total lack of interest by temperance workers in general and where are the good templarss Why don't you show your colorsf

Echoes From the Fair

New Mexico's territorial fair fol 1891 eclipsed all previous exhibitions of the kind, both as to quality and quantity of exhibits and the attend.
 ance. Albuquerque never saw SC
 many people within her limits at one time as there was on this occasion This was due to two causes. The indomitable perseverance of Presi- dent c. c. Hall, of the association, and the generous action of the rail road companies in giving rate of one cent per mile for the trip.
 Arizona was represented by an ex- cellent mineral exhibit, the best there, and carried away first pre- mium. A very creditable display of fruits and other products of the soil was also on exhibition, although the great fruit growing section of the Salt and Gila river valleys was not represented. There was very good exhibition of live stock also from various portions of New Mexico, Ari- zona and Colorado. The race track, which is one of the prominent fea- lures of the fairs, had good pro gramme for the week, the interest in it being about equally divided be- tween horse racing and hose racing. While Arizona was not in the former her fire boys made their presence felt in the latter by winning the champion belt of the southwest for the second time in succession. Great interest was manifested in these races, there being six competing teams for the belt as follows: Two from Albuquerque, and one each from Las Vegas, Hermosa, Fl Paso and Prescott. These races, although booked for Wednesday, were not finished until Friday. The best of friendly feeling existed between all the competing companies except
 Albuquerque's crack team and outsiders. The managers of the former had coupling designed and manufactured for the occasion which could not be used on any
 regulation hose, and then had long
 Jugs attached to it so that the
 coupling breaker had no reasonable
 chance to miss his connections.
 They also exhibited remarkable
 lack of confidence in the skill of
 their pipe man, by having circular guide inserted in the hose coupling
 in such manner that with little practice the most unskillful could
 manipulate the nozzle successfully.
 These arrangements being unusual
 appliances, were in violation of the rules governing the tournament,
 and visiting companies accordingly
 protested against their use. The
 protest was sustained by the judges and the Albuquerque team was ruled out of the race. They appealed to the board of control, which reversed
 the ruling of the judges and deci. ded to permit the team to run ana
 use any manner of coupling or pipe. In making their run, through an
 error of their hydrant coupler in
 commencing to pull hose fifty feet
 before he reached the mark the team failed to run the entire dis tance and were again ruled out,
 without scoring record. Another
 appeal was taken, as the team thought that if given enough trials
 it could certainly win the belt, but
 they were not permitted to run
 again, and the Prescott team won ! the belt in p seconds, beating their time of a year ago by two and 8 half seconds.
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1891-09-23

The following mining items are gleaned from the Mohaye County Miner:
 Mohave county took the prize for the best exhibit of mineral at the Albuquerque fair last week. We have always maintained that Mo
 have county is the best mining re- zion of the west, and few years will prove the truth of this asser- ton.
 The Empire mill in Todd Basin
 is running steadily on good ore. The
 mill is in charge of Mir. Bidwell, a competent mill man from Califor-
 nia. The ores are worked up to about ninety-fve per cent of their assay value.
 In the Distaff another rich strike has been made. The north drift
 has been driven under the old sur face chute and the bonanza tapped. We are informed by creditable par ties that the ore is far richer than any ever taken from the surface. The surface ores, assorted, worked over six hundred ounces silver per ton. There are immense bodies of ore in the mine ranging in value from eighty to one hundred ounces per ton that will pay handsome profit as soon as the mill is erected.
 Now that all litigation against the title of the Diamond Joe mine has been quieted work will be started up on large scale. The mine is one of the finest pieces of property in Arizona to-day, and the immense amount of rich ore that will be shipped to the smelters this fall and winter will open the eyes of the croakers in this county. The mine has been in litigation since its dis covery four or five years ago, and the present owners have spent thou sands of dollars in proving their title. Although the mine has been little worked until the past year, it has produced over one hundred thousand dollars in cash.
