HEARDAON THE STREET.

swell, really, am free to confess
that Southern California has the most
delightful climate of any section of the
United States l have ever visited" re-
marked Judge Goodin, chief justice of
the United States district court of Ari-
zona, yesterday, to HERALD represen-
tstive. "Since my advent on the BENCH"
continued Judge Goodin, 81 have always
made it point to spend my vacations
in Los Angeles. find that your atmos-
phere, your climate, if you please, is re-
cuperating and invigorating, and when
ever l return to Phoenix, after visit
here, feel that have had rest. Yes,
Arizona is progressing, and you would
be surprised to see the Improvements
that are going on, improvements, too, of
substantial nature. Not speaking Of
several large canal projects which are
being pushed to completion, l might
mention the building of two railroads
into Phoenix, one by the way of the eel
ebrated Congress mine and the other
forging its way down the Black cafion.
Casa Grande, Tucson, Florence, Mari
copa, Prescott, Flagstaff, Kingman and
other places in Arizona are coming to
the front rapidly, but Phoenix is pre-
eminently the growing town of the terri
tory. Politics? Mo- please excuse me,
but / repeat that in Los Angeles you
have a most beautiful and inviting
city,"
Comparatively speaking, the hotel
business OF Los Angeles is great deal
better this year than last" said Mr.. @.
w. Stewart of the Bellevue Terrace last
night. sit has been said that on &C.
count of the near approach of the worlds
fair" remarked Mr.. Stewart, "the num-
Der of tourists to the coast would be de-
creased considering last years figures,
but | find that such is not the case; at
least SO far as the Bellevue Terrace is
concerned the number of applicants for
rooms and board exceeds that of any
previous year since / have been in Los
Angeles, and / am reliably informed
that such is the case in all other hotels
in our city. The reputation of Los An
geles increases, rather than diminishes,
according to the number we have here
as visitors, and that visitors increase
every year goes without saying, hence
the almost phenomenal growth of our
city,"

"Speaking about mines," said Mai.
Thomas r. Smith last evening at the
Hollenbeck, ut cannot be disputed that
Arizona is coming to the front as great
mineral producing country. In the Har-
qua Hala, Globe, Casa Grande, Yuma,
Florence, Hassayampe and other dis
tricts l could mention, the mineral out
put, either of gold or silver, is immense
even at the present time, and with the
investment OF more capital and further
development and work on the mines
now opened, doubt whether any state
or territory would excel Arizona in the
richness of their mines. am go thor
oughly convinced of this fact that do
not even except Mexico. / have been
in many sections of Mexico, Color
ado, Nevada, New Mexico and other
mining states, territories and republics,
yet am thoroughly convinced that in
time Arizona will take the lead of them
all. Our increase last year over the
year preceding was something like $2,-
772,000. Colorado, believe, out ranks
Arizona in the production of minerals"

Hon. E. R. Threlkeld advanced
most admirable idea last evening, in
talking politics among number of
friends in, front of the Nadeau. "a
great many Democratic clubs are being
formed throughout the city and county,"
said Mr.. Threlkeld, "and / believe
it would be masterly stroke
of policy for each club to ap-
point or elect an executive committee
of say five, and that the committee 80
selected or appointed meet in general
conference and deliberate and promul-
gate general plan for the party in Los
Angeles county. For one, feel conf
dent that on account of the demorali-
cation in the ranks of the Republican
party, brought about through the bitter
ness engendered among the friends of
the congressional aspirants, the Demo-
Gratis, by fusing with our natural allies,
the farmers and laboring men, we could
eveilastingly down Hazard, Lindley,
Houghton or any other man the &. o. p.
might put up for congress. Snch a
move would also redeem our county
from the vicious grasp of the courthouse
ring. Anyway, there is no harm in try
ing the experiment"
