mineral. The development of
these resources moves along apace

TEEN from hill, mountain and
plain will make this one of the
most prosperous regions on the
coast. Industry and capital are
now opening mines which give.
promise of being the richest in the
great mineral belt of the Union.
Another important industry which
is now beginning to attract atten
tion and which will prove a
bonanza to its owners is the Ell.
Simpkins marble and lime quarry
up the river near Mcdowell The
marble is of the very finest and
unlimited in supply. 1t is clear
white and takes high polish and
is pronounced by experts to be
equal to the imported marble. In
addition to this quarry as a marble
producer, The Simpkins Co. is
now turning out large quantities of
lime of quality which has no
equal for purity. Tests have been
made which show it to he abso-
lutely pure lime with no grit what
ever. Mr.. Simpkins has delivered
already in Phoenix fifteen tons on
one order and has another order
from Phoenix for thirty tons. He
is also supplying the lime for John
sons building and numerous brick
residences in this city. A large
force of men are employed on the
work, and as business increases, the
company will keep pace by increas-
ing it's facilities.

HI. B. St. Claire
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR COUNTY
ASSESSOR.

The genial sun of Indiana first
shed the light of day on { he present
Republican nominee for County
Assessor, Mr.. HI. B. st. Claire in
1858. He is a genu re Hoosier
and was "schoo] master" for three
years on leaving college in his
native state. His education began
in the public schools and ended in
an Indiana University. He left
the business of teaching to go into
the post Office of his native town as
deputy postmaster where he served
several years, then removed to the
State of Texas where he acted in
like capacity for a time, then en-
tered into the mercantile business,
subsequently, coming to this Terri
tory in 1884. Here he invested in
the stock Business at once and has
also been interested at one time
and another in some of our best
mercantile firms giving much of
his time and attention to that bust
ness and amidst it all he has found
time to handle good deal of real
estate, buying and selling property
for himself, however. At present
he is devoting his time to his stock
and is ranching in the valley near
Phoenix. In all his varied pursuits
he has made success of il every
time.
Mr. st. Claire has never sought
public Office of any kind and has
never held public office; his great
energy and perseverance has been
turned entirely to his varied bust
ness, his interest in politics being
only OF passing nature and solely
with a view to securing good pub
lie service.
Mr. st. Claire is peculiarly and

THE war between Japan and
China seems to be SO far a one
sided affair. The Japanese army
seems to go any place where it
elects to 60, and the children of the
sun seem to vanish like the MORN
ing dew before the conquering
batallions. 1t is hoped that the
war will result in the entire de-
molition of the Chinese wall. 1t is
too late in the history of the world
to have an exclusive nation like
China longer exist with all doors
closed against the whole world.

unusually we'll equipped for the Of
flee of assessor; it is not probable
that there are ten men in the
county SO well qualified by expert
ence to fill the office for which he
has been nominated. Tn the first
place he has large experience in
varied mercantile business and that
his judgment has been first class in
the business is evidenced by the
fact that he has been uniformly
successful. Again he has a stock
mans experience of years standing
in growing, feeding and handling
stock, in which business he has
also been successful. Last but not
least Mr.. st. Claire has owned and
handled large amount of city and
country property at one time or
another, for a man who was not
properly in the real estate business,
and his jud gment has not led him
estlay in single instance as to the
value of the property. There are
very few men in tlA: county so in
timately acquainted with these
three great sources of Cur business
and wealth and there are very few
that have exercised such uniform
good judgment in all these connec-
tions. Among all our citizens
there are probably none that would
make more capable and thorough
assessor than Mr.. st. Claire and
the people generally will recognize
this fact at the polls and vote for
him.

North & South road is coming and
with it will come the most genial,
accommodating lot Of railroad men
that have ever struck the territory,
headed by F. A. Healy, the general
manager and passenger agent.
That road will be a developer, one
which will be welcomed on it's ar
rival, and it's presence will be con-
tinually welcomed. Over twelve
hundred men are at work now upon
it, and it is coming rapidly. The
time is not far distant when in the
language of the Gazette "the nup-
tials of the pine forests of Coco
nino and Yavapai with the orange
groves of Maricopa will be cele--
brated. This road will cement an
eternal, indissolluble bond Of union
between the north and the south of
our territory. The future of our
territory grows brighter, day by
day, for the coming of this. road
will inspire the development of the
resources of the territory, boti
mineral and agricultural. The

sclously on the stream of Biblical critl.
clsln and pleading against the verdict OIL
parent or nurse for the existence OF ghosts
ana witches. The early syllogism runs
thus:
The Bible is true.
The Bible says there were witch and
ghost.
therefore there are ghosts and witches.
we often meet with worse arguments IN
later life, as when science AYERS:
L don It take any interest in the ques-
ton, with the suppressed inference,
therefore there is nothing in it but nom
sense
Our instructors in our infancy, how
ever, met our logic with pleas more subtle,
though not wholly satisfying Thus:
There were witches, or at least there was
witch, but that was before the coming
of the gospel. So now run away and see
if you can find ripe strawberry
thus was the daring metaphysical spec
ulation Of infancy diverted into practical
researches Or, again, the answer would
be, saul was bad man, and therefore
the devil was allowed to deceive him in
the shape of Samuel But it does not
say anything about the devil, and the
ghosts prophecy came true" "Oh, no
doubt that was permitted for wise reasons.
So, now, run away" ut supra. -Andrew

The. Prices of the Columbian Stamps.

The entire set of Columbian stamps con-
sists of a l, 2, 8, 4. 5, 6, s, 10, Is, 80 and
30 cent, and 81, 80, So, 81 and S. stamp.
The cost of the set. when new, last year
was $17.52. OF these under the 10 cent
the only one that is worth anything when
Cancelled is the 6 cent, which will bring 8
cents. The 10 cent stamp and those above
it are worth just about their face value.
The uncanceled stamps command slight
premiums above their face value. The SO
cent used stamp is worth more than the
same denomination unused Itwould not
be well, however, for any one with a new
stamp to get it cancelled, for it is much
easier to cancel stamp than to erase the
cancellation. 1t must be borne in mind
that the figures given above are only aver
age prices, says Golden Days. Many deal
ers hold the stamps at higher prices, while
some claim that they are not worth as
much.
