county, as shown by the evidence
before this committee, are employed
by the great lumber companies oper-
ating in said county or by individual
lumbermen. The evidence also
shows that at the time the county
was organized a resident of the city
Of Minneapolis, who was largely IN
terested in a lumber company In
said county, was appointed as one OF
the commissioners thereof. This
was the same man who bought the
timber claim just referred to, and
who was a member of the lumber
company who furnished supplies for
the United States surveyor. While
acting as county commissioner OF
Itasca county, he continued to reside
in the city of Minneapolis with his
family, and he appears to have been
made county commissioner simply to
assist the lumber company in the
operations by which it was to deprive
the state lOf it's taxes. 1t is claimed
by witnesses who appeared before
this committee that while parties
resident in the county, or small con-
Germs not in the ring, were assessed
upon their property at high valua-
ton, the great lumbermen who were
the favorites of the combination got
off entirely from the payment OF
taxes or were assessed for much less
than the real value thereOf-in some
cases for less than one-tenth of a fair
valuation. The assessment of the
property of the county seems to have
been conducted in shameful man
ner. The present assessor has been
in the employ of another of these
lumber companies and we have rea-
son to believe is still SO employed.
While the law of the state requires
the assessor to personally visit and
examine the land to be assessed, his
own evidence shows that out of
seventy towns in the county he visit
ed but thirteen. This witness adj

he had made personal inspection of
the land he had raised the assess
ment, in many cases, to high figure
as compared with the former assess
ment, in one case raising tract of
land from 1920 to $1,000, and he ad-
mitted that if he had personally in
spected the rest of the county and
had made a similar increase, it
would have added millions to the
taxable real estate of the county. 1t
is but justice to say that the reason
the county assessor did not visit
all the towns in the county was that
he was prevented, as he alleges, from
so doing by the action of the other
county officials. He admitted. to use
his exact words, "That man in
Winona could make as good an assess
ment of the county as he had made
OF the towns that he had not visit
ed" Your committee is forced to
the conclusion that millions of dol
lars worth of property have escaped
assessment in that county alone,
and that the differentiation Of such
as has been assessed will amount to
vast sum-

In 1891 Cleveland received 1890
more votes than in 1888, an increase
of .33 per cent; Harrison 264, $3.50 less,
loss of 4.8 per cent; Weaver 973, $40
more than Streeter in 1888, a gain of
657.6 per cent, and Bidwell 29,264
more than Fisk, a gain of III per
cent.
Weaver and Field received votes in
every state in the union, Cleveland
in all but five, Harrison in all but
one, and Bidwell in all but three.
Thus in the distribution of votes,
the peoples party is ahead.
The democratic electors received a
majority of the popular vote in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Della
ware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, New Jersey, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia-13 states. The republican
electors in Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyom-
ing states. The populist electors
in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas and
Nevada states. Thus in "a states
the electors received a majority of
the total vote cast, while in 20 states
they were elected by pluralities.
OF the 444 electors, 213 were elected
by majOrities and 23l by pluralities.
OF the 277 Cleveland electors, 1925
were elected by majorities and 1872 by
pluralities. OF the AS Harrison cleo
tors, 60 were chosen by majOrities, II
by pluralitieS, and of those received
by Weaver and Field, 20 of the %
were elected by majorities.
The election of 1892 is the first one
since 1856 that third or new party
received any electoral votes for their
national ticket. If we analyZe the
vote received by the populist and
prOhibiOnist parties, we find that the
former is distinctively a Western
and Southern movement. while the
latter is almost as distinctively an
Eastern one.
YWenty-eight states west of the
Mississippi and south of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers gave Weaver and
Field 500, 101 votes; while the sixteen
gave them only 1894 votes. These
sixteen Eastern and Middle states,
containing 51.2 per cent of the popu-
lation, cast only 1919 per cent of the
pOpulist vote, while the twenty-eight
Western and Southern states, con-
tanning 1873 per cent of the popula-
yion, cast 89.1 per cent of the vote.
The state of Kansas alone cast
40,167 votes more than the entire
states east and north of the rivers
mentioned. The returns show that
in each of eight counties in Kansas,
the populist ticket received more
votes than in the entire state of Mas
sachuSettS.
If we place Illinois, Indiana, Mich.
igan and Wisconsin, with their
74,216 pOpulist votes, among the
western states, with which they are
generally classed, it will reduce oul
vote in the twelve eastern and mid
die states to 45,728 less than one

The dormant vote in all these states
is abnormally large. Arkansas has
n ,7O7 voters who did not go to the
polls, Georgia 143,524, Louisiana 1O9,-
232, while the state governments of
Mississippi, Florida and South Caro-
lima, with their delegations in con-
gress, were elected by far less than
one-half of the voting strength in
their states. If there is such thing
as a tendency toward a monarchy in
our country we have it in these states
in full bloom. Some will doubtless
remark that this large dormant vote
represents the negro race, but this is
not true. If we compare the total

SAW REFINING ORANGES,
Distinguished Visitors Are Driven
 Through the Fertile Valley,

IT
 A numbe of the delegates attending the statehood convention were taken in carriages by the citizens of Phmnx yes terday morning and the various objects of interest throughout the valley were visited. Many went to the orange groves owned by the Improvements com pany, while others went to the ostrich farm. The roads being in good condi- tion for driving, many miles were tray ersed by the sightseers and all returned well pleased with what they saw.
 Many beheld for the first time ripen- ing oranges on the trees. The extent of the agricultural wealth of the Salt River valley is never fully realized until one has taken days drive through it, and he becomes bewildered with the the varied scenes presented. Broad acres of meadow land, with tower-like ricks of alfalfa hay rising in the dis tance, herds of cattle and bands of sleek horses quietly browsing in the green pastures, while succession of orchards and vineyards, shows the ex- tensive fruit growing which may yet be considered only in its infancy. Every one returned from the excursion yester- day with a feeling that such a rich country should be able to govern itself without the aid of guardian appointed by the government at Washington.

MOhaVe Miner Notes,

A party of Chicago gentlemen out fitted here Monday for tour of inspec- tion of the Colorado river in the vicinity of Bulls Head point. They are looking into the feasibility of plan to irrigate the Mohaye valley.
 The Prince Albert mine at White Hills is being worked by between thirty and forty leasers and nearly all of them are making money.
 The White Hills company are work ing about sixty men on the G. A. R., Horn Silver, Occident and Abe Lincoln claims. Considerable dead work is be- ing done, but the mines in general are producing very rich ore.
 The only obstacle in the way of the Grand Canyon irrigation scheme now seems to be the refusal of the railroad to part with its valley lands. The con- pany ought to make it an object for cap- ital to develop the natural resources along it's line of road and we hope soon to see all obstacles in the way of this grand irrigation scheme overcome.

A WONDERFUL CHANGE
From Deserted and Aban-
 doned Camp
To One of the Greatest and Most Promising Mining Enterprises
 In the Territory.

President w. s. Alley and Superin- tendent Dr. Alexander Trippel came in from the Phoenix mine last evening, and from their statement work on the mine has been pushed in phenomenal way, In the last six weeks, 753 feet of drifts have been run, 4291a feet of raises have been made. and 162 feet of shafts have been sunk, total of l34415 feet, which is more than has been done on the property in the past fifteen years. To connect these drifts, raises and shafts with the mill more than 1000 feet of track has been laid, the lumber and railroad iron for which has been fur nished by Phoenix merchants.
 Some idea of the extent of the enter prise and the work performed may be gethered from the following figures. In the last six weeks 35,0O0 cubic feet of development work has been done and in the additions and improvements $l10,000 has been spentl Tn Phoenix alone to say nothing of the cost of the new machinery stamp mill etc. To show the amount of freighting required the weight of the stamp mill is 1000 pounds; 100000 pounds of lum Der have been used in the various construc- tions and 100000 pounds of miscellan- eous material, altogether 2,000,0 pounds of freight have supplied badly needed occupation to teamsters of Php- nix during the past five months. All work, all supplies and all material ex. cept the machinery have been supplied by the laborers, merchants and dealers of Phoenix.
 While this work is more or less of the nature of dead work, it has been so ar- ranged by Dr. Trippel as to answer for development and is in a part of the mine that has never been prospected before; they have opened up several new bodies of ore that show up wonder fully well. The work of connecting the Mashackerty property, recent acquisition of the Phoenix company, is progressing well.) It requires over l500 feet of track to connect this prop erty with the mill, the iron and lumber for which has already been contracted for by our merchants.
 Twenty of the one hundred stamps were started up yesterday morning, the balance to follow very quickly; it will not be many days now before the whole mill is in active operation.
 When MT. Alley, the president, came to Phoenix last June the works at the Phoenix mine were practically deserted. On his road from La Veta place to the mine MT. Alley met no one. A lone- Her thoroughfare, if it may be called 8 thoroughfare, could not well have been imagined. Within three months the road has become ore of the most fre- quently travelled in the valley. Freight teams and vehicles of other descriptions at all hours of the day and it may be said, at almost all hours of the night, may be seen passing and repassing.
 The genius and experience of Dr. Trippel, the new superintendent. Tn bringing about this remarkable change, has placed the Phoenix mine among the great mining enterpris es of the greatest gold mining region known.

MESA EXCITED.

The pr. Thomas Mine Has a Coun-
 terpart Near Mcdowell.
 Considerable excitement prevails in Mesa over the reported finding of the famous hidden mine, known in Arizona tales as the pr. Thomas m1ne, which was supposed to have been operated by the Aztecs. Later 1t was discovered by wandering young man, who was all most famished with thirst. He found spring near'b by, and after quenching his thirst noticed the rich ore and To- cated claim. He made map of the country and returned to civilization. Recently the father of the young man found the map and recognized it as the country near Ft. Mcdowell. He with others followed the traces indicated and found the same quartz leads.
 The matter has been kept secret until recently and reliable and disinterested parties have been oyer the ground. They find the camp where twenty men are now working eight miles directly west of old Ft. Mcdowell, nestled closely to the giant hills that trend north and south.
 I IiOuu tlO MCOOWOll rOdU d suCCSsslOu of monuments marks the way, but the place is difficult to approach. Not more than $75 worth of old work has been done and this probably is the work of prospectors of recent years.
 Some good rock however has been as- saved from the camp, but the general impression on investigation is that the men are either seeking notoriety or are laboring under a hallucination, as the base ore displayed does not harmonize well with that of the mythical Dr. Thomas claim. A representative of THE REPUBLICAN visited the camp last week, but has kicked himself ever since for d Oinp so
