THE FATAL EPISTLE.
Leavy Receives an Autograph
Letter From the President.
The Deposed Appraiser Fails to Keep an Ap'
pointment With Mr.. Hepbarn-His At
torney Explains the Cause.

The letter from President Harrison anxi-
opsly looked for by Charles NJ. Leavy since
his dismissal by telegraph reached that IN
happy gentleman yesterday morning. 1t did
net contain any information which would
sfford him basis upon which he could give
free rein to his conversational powers. 1t
failed utterly to indicate to him the nature
of the charges against him. 1t was as curt
as the electric stroke that cleaved his Off
cial neck on the date of its writing. 1t was
written on the blank form used in the
guiliotine department of the White House.

A Word From Hr. Alley.

JEROME. Oct. To- EDITOR JOURNAL MINER l-I alone of all the republi- can candidates in this county, have the good fortune to be attacked by the Phenix Gazette.
 Why Providence has favored me so graciously in this matter, to the exclusion of my fellow-candidates, l am unable to say, for 1t IS well known fact that acitizen of fayapai county, aspiring to office, can have no higher recommendation on earth than the pronounced opposition of the Phenix Gazette. A paper whose only achievement was her part in the wholesale robbery of Yavapai county, four years ago.
 Their charges of immoral personal conduct on my part are absolute and egregious falsehoods. which It IS unnecessary to dispute.
 I am not pretentious on the ques- ton of association. but have always thought too much of myself to asso- ciate myself with the Gazette out fit. ,,.
 So what is the motive for this crazy attack. If you imagine they are crazy. you are mistaken. There ;s @metbod in their madness" | am fullv informed and understand the true inwardness of the combination that has robbed Yavapai county for tbe last five years. know "the head and front of all their offend ;ng I know their rendezvous. l know their system. | know their history in the past and their plans for the future. know they are not through robbing. despoiling and insulting our county. The Gazette IS aware that I understand their combina- t;on. the Gazette knows that II the neonle of Yavapai county send me to Phenix this winter sone'hlng is going to drop. That is why the Gazette is praying for my defeat.
 | glory in that principle in Amer ;oan character which brings fairness and reason to bear on every issue That principle can never hesitate 10 support, on general prlnciples, the ne man in Yavapai, whom the oazet.o r;il;l;es Citizens of Yavapai county ,ha;r scheme is laid bare. l want tbe whole people to know that the Gazette is making war on me- anu then I want them to know the Ted" son,

Mining intelligence.

John s. Jones is running his mill, aud other properties in the district are being worked with good results.
 A car load of copper and copper matte will be shipped tomorrow, the result of the recent run of the Agua Fria Mining company's smelt- CT. The product contains good percent of gold and silver, also. The experimental run of the smelt- CT proved very satisfactory, although the most of the ores require roast ing before being run through the furnace. X force of men will be kept at work in the mine and in making preparation for roasting the ores, and the smelter will be started up again in few months and will be run continuously.
 c. NJ. Clark came in from the Big Bug country yesterday. He says that the mining outlook there is very promising. He recently let a contract for sinking a ffty-foot shaft on the Little Jessie mine, on which he has taken lease. The contractors are down to depth of twenty-two feet and have struck gold sulphuret ore similar in char acter to that taken out by Wright and Butler on the other end of the same claim. Mir. Clark is very san guine of obtaining good shipping ore from the claim under hIs lease. He also states that J. K. Slack IS developing what is considered one of the best properties in that sec tion. He has obtained from his claim fine gold ore which goes S6Oo mar ton

ANOTHER FIRE,
Lack of W ater Again Threatens seriou Results, Which are Happily Averted.


 An alarm of fire was rung at few minutes past 12 o'clock today. A high wind was blowing from the north at the time and anxious in quiries were at first made as to the lo- cation of the fire, fearing destructive results should it be in thickly built portion of the town. 1t did not take long to locate it, however, as an immense cloud of smoke of inky blackness was seen rolling up from West Prescott in the vicinity of the old water works, now under lease to Martin Maier.
 The fire department responded promptly, the 0. K. hose company being first on the ground with line of hose connected with the hydrant at John Taylor's in West Prescott. The valveof the hydrant was turned wide open and the nozzleman wait ed, but no water came. Profanity was induled in to a mild extent and the blessings of Old Nick was in voked on the mayor and water com mittee, but it failed to bring any water through the hose. In the mean time the Dudes had made connection with the hydrant on north Montezuma street, but their hose failed to reach the fire. By consolidating with the Toughs a line of hose was laid and water se- cured from the above hydrant. The fire which originally started in pile of pine wood, had by this time made such headway that the old engine house of the city waterworks had taken fire, and before it could be checked the roof and inside wood work were destroyed. Had the O. Ks succeeded in getting water when they reached the fire, they could easily have saved this building. It seems from inquiry, however, that the water was shut of entirely from the mains in West Prescott, and it required several minutes to have the water turned on and have the mains filled up. The chief of the fire department unburdened his mind on the subject, but of course the wisdom of the ac- tion of fthe mayor and his water committee is not to be called in question. Their methods are not to be improved on, even if it costs thousands of dollars, as in the fire of a few weeks ago. The fire of today was a revelation to the people of West Prescott generally as to their danger in case fire had broken out where buildings were close together. If they had been compelled to wait for the mains to have been filled .tt. get water through the O. K. hose, it is universally agreed that all the property owned ey MT. Maier would have been lost. Luckily for him, but through no good management of the water committee, such re- suit was averted. As it is, MT. Maier's loss is several hundred dol lars, included in which was a wagon loaded with wood, which had just been driven in, and which was burned.
 Twenty-Five or thirty cords of wood was also destroyed in addi- tion to damage to the old pump hnusa
