TYPEWRiTERS.
Opinions OF Them Dictated to Ono of Them
by en- Accomplished stenosrapiier.

Opinions OK Them Dictated TO ono OF Them
by sn Accomplished stenograpiier.
Moro trash and nonsense are written
about typewriter girls by people who
do not understand what good typewrit-
ing is or how to dictate to typewriter
than shout any other profession or any
other business in which either men or
women are engaged today. The fact Of
the matter is that t7pewritiug is worth
anywhere from e6 a week Up to $40 or
Hs5, efhicafissometimes paid as a week
ly salary to expert typewriters who have
no knowledge of shorthand.
1t is no uisusuai thing For typewriters
to earn at folio werk from dictation by
stenogrnphers So an hour and over, and
the finest experts are worth every cent
OF that amount OF money. Among stenog-
raphers 81 an hour Is the ruling rate,
and for that 81 good typewriter with
an expert dictator will transcribe from
30 to 40 fclios an hour Of testimony.
In some cases even 20 folios an hour of
solid matter have been dictated. Forty
folios is two columns of The Sun, and
of the msn who write about debating
to typewritcSs as though they knew
about it there are probably not half a
dozen in the country who can dictate SO
much.
Many years ago the writer was en-
ployed as shorthand amanuensis by
George Alfred Townsend, well known
as "Gath," who habitually dictated to
him in shorthand two columns an hour
and did it every day in the week two
hours a day for months at time, In
dicating every full stop, somioolon,
quotation mark and paragraph. If
"Gath" dictates to a typewriter now
and has one Of the best in the business,
| no doubt he can dictate from column
and half to two columns an hour Of
original matter, and the writer knows
of no other mon who can do that. OF
course there are plenty of incempetents
who pose as tyPewriters and who bring
the BUSINESS into discrodit by their poor
work. For many years the writer has
been thrown in Contact with expert
typewriters in bis business as an official
stenographer. In view of the many gibes
and sneers in which newspaper writers

matter of simple justice to say that the
women with whom he has been associ-
ated in his business have been without
exception we'll educated, refined, capa-
BILE of doing rapid and accurate work,
who attended strictly to business and die
not waste time with frivolous remarks
1t seems unfair to judge of any busi
ness or profession by the weaklings en-
gagged therein, whether the work b'
law, medicine, the ministry, shorthand
or typowritin&. and any one who canno

A purcr medicine does not exist and it is guaranteed to do all that is claimed. Electric Bitters will cure all diseases of the liver and kidneys, will remove pimples. boils, salt rheum. and Other affections caused by impure blood. Will drive malaria from the system and prevent as we'll as cure all malarial levers. For cure of headache, constipation and indigestion try Elec- tric Bitters.

County.

We. the Republicans of Coconino County, Arizona, in convention assembled, this first day of October 1894 do adopt and declare the following Platform:
 We rcaffirni our allegiance to Inc National Republican party and call attention to the unparalleled disaster that has resulted to every interest in the United States, with the probable exception of the favored Trusts the pampered pets of n faithess Democracy as q consequence of the fatuous abandonment of the American principle by misguided pco- pie in 1892.
 We endorse the nominations and platform Of the Territorial Republican convention and pledge to them our hcarticst support We urge upon the voters of the Territory tho cX- pcdiency of sending Delegate to Congress whose political convictions arc not repug- nant tO the vital interests of Arizona, and whose energy and ability will be devoted sole 1y for the welfare of her sOns and daughters.
 We believe in efficiency ns well as economy in the administration of county and territO- rial affairs and pledge the nominees of this convention to Il rigid observance of these cs- scntials of good government.
 We dcnOunce inc Democratic party for the almost complete extinction of the sheep and cattle industry of this county through the operation of the uamelcss miscarriage passed by the last Democratic congress under the name of Tariff Reform, that the wealth of this country has shrunken beyond human calculation; that in our own county insol- vsncy has taken the place of prosperity.
 Tbat wage carners who under Republican rule received a just remuneration for their toil, are sGY of necessity being employed at reduction of from 25 to 50 per cent. of the old scale. That gloom and despondency have taken the place of cODtGntmcnt and peace,
 We are in favor of tue free coinage of silver al q ratio of 16 to l. We are in favor of pro- tection to American industiaes. tbat good wages can be paid to wage earpers.
 We charge the Democracy with the egasiOb ofevery promise and the violation of every pledge. Of giving to foreign nations by legis- lation what they could pot take by force of ArnS,

A Dark Mystery.

The mystery of the disappearance ot Joseph Lewis is almost as dark as is the complexion of that individual, and Joseph is as black as charcoal. B"- fore leaving town he visited Mickey" Stewards residence, while the latter was at Winslow, and appropriated a valuable suit of clothes, silver watch and a $i0 pair of cuff buttons. not neglecting to overlook all the razors in sight. Some of the face changers belonged to another roomer. Robert Bell. The watch and one pair of cuff buttons were recovered where they had been hawked at democratic prices, but although Constable Decloss has been hot on the trail with & grand lar ceny warrant Lewis has not been ap- prehended The constable made a fruitless trip to Williams yesterday. Lewis downfall is believed to be due to .'craps," the colored mans Jonah. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, slim in build and the chalk in his eye is very pronounced. Ho was dressed in blue overalls, black coat and small black hat with chunk out of the rim.

Signs of Winter.
the matter

People who, altitudinally speaking, live next door to Heaven, as we do here in the picturesque little skyligbt city, usually get glimpse of Old Winters face before those who dwell in the cold regions of the north and east are favored with view. The eager, nipping air of the early morn ings of last week was only the ad- vance agent of more tangible evi- dence of the gradual approach of win ter, and when the early riser wearily arose from his couch last Saturday morning and looked out upon the snow-crested peak of Mt. Agassiz he must have involuntarily shivered and felt like taking another snooze. The stately Agassiz has visited Natures boudOlr aud donncd her winter mantle and although the sight is pretty one the thought of fuel and other cold bills has tendency to dispel the poetic sentiments that might spring to the mind of the observer The soft, velvety touch of Jack Frost, who spreads a rich carpet for pedestrians these mornings, seems also to portend an early winter, and if we may take any stock in the predictions of the local weather prophets, heavy under wear, woolen socks and little red-top boots will soon be in season. The much-dreaded winter brings many cancellations with it. The city dude has returned to his cage to endeavor to save enough money to have a giddy time on his next summers vacation, the summer girl has swallowed her chewing gum and put away her crino- olines and rubber curls and the spring poet has happily gone into retirement. And we ought to be thankful for that. The weathcrwisc have said nothing as to the temperature of the coming winter, but it goes without saying that it will be coda very cold-winter for democratic otlice-seekers.
 P. S.--Since writing the above AgaSsiz has thrown aside the winter robe and the autumn sun is doing business at the old stand.

Yet the Troops Are Removed,

The murderous Apache Kid is at his old tricks again. Last Friday, Phil Heller, of the San Simon Cattle Com pany, while on his way to roundup on Deer Creek, in Stein's Peak moun- tains, some sixty-tive miles from San Simon, was attacked by band of six or seven Apachcs, who were lying in ambush behind rocks. A number of shots were fired at him. one passing through the left lung and breaking the shoulder blade into fragments. His pack animal, which he was driving be- fore him, was killed. The attack was presumably made to get his firearms, ammunition, and the contents of the pack saddle. Everything tends to show it 10 be the work of the Kids band.
 Heller returned the fire but found himself getting too weak from loss of blood and barely reached the nearest ranch, some five miles away, where he lies probably in dying condition. Dr. Wright, the Southern Pacific sur geon, is attending the patient
 Great indignation is expressed by cattlemen and settlers.

FRANK HENEY, the paid slop slinger of the party, publicly stated Tuesday evening that the democratic party would give the country free coinage of silver in six months from date. Yak ing this outrageous assertion in con- nectiOn with the tissue of misrepre- sentation which made up his speech, it is clear that Heuey takes the people of Northern Arizona for very 'raw ma terial.' What they take Heney for wouldn't look well in decent repub- licaD sheet.

The picture is chiefly re- markable for it's lack of resemblance to the unfortunate candidate, but Mir. Herndon's face will probably have as- sumed the wUe-bcgoue expression of the cut after the votes are counted.

TIE democrats have for the past several months been predicting good times, and they have even tried to force the conviction upon the people that there has been grand revival of trade. Sensible tradesmen and work ingmen out of q job and those who are toiling at greatly reduced wages will not be misled by such assertions, he refutati0n of which is easily found in the thousands of homeless and wander ing mendicants whose tattcred clothing and soleless shoes offer ample testi- mony of the faIsity of such statements and plead for change. The hitherto prosperous workman who has been compelled to take the road in search of employment when he reads these ''revival" paragraphs involuntarily pinches himself, and in many cases he really doesn't know whether or not he iS glad to find that he is even alive. The only notable revival of industry has beeu the startling number of train robberies within the past few weeks.

REPUBLICAN, PLATFORMS.
Territorial.

The Republican party of Arizona reaffrms its belief In and adherence to the principles of the Republican party, under which the entire country has prOspered and advanced in all its material interests us no ether na- tiOn ever has.
 This success and prosperity has been due largely to wise system of protection to home industries. q home market and home labor. the maintenance of which Is of the greatest importance to the laboring men, to stock growers, to wool producers, to mining industries, to the producers of the soil. and to every other American industry.
 Because of an opposite belief by the Demo- cratic administration since 1t has assumed control of governmental affairs, all of our industrial interests are threatened with de- struction or great injury.
 We ccnsurc the Democratic administration for:
 Indebtedness,
 SecOnd-It has lcgislated In the interests of the great sugar trust of the country.
 Third-Gt has almost destroyed the cattle, wool and silver interests of America,
 Fourth-It has failed to redeem it's pledges of two years since to give statehood to the territory.
 Fifth--It has legislatcd in the interests of the manufacturers of other countries and against the interests of all classes in our own country. and is responsible for the hard times" that aflict us.
 We are opposed to the return of the rene gade Geronimo to our territory. as is now threatened.
 We believe in the free and unlimited coin age of silver in ratio of Is 10 1, and demand that our government take immediate steps tO this end, without regard to what other na- tons may do.
 We favor the reduction of taxation tO the lowest possible limit under which territorial, county and municipal governments can be carried on in our territory.
 We demand national legislation in the qucs- lion of naturalization and immigration, to the end that our country may be protected from the socialists, anarchists. and the pau per and criminal classes of all countries.
 We favor government appropriation of moneys for the reclamation of the arid lands of the west.
 We favor the admission of Arizona as a state, and deprecatc any attempt to make this A party issue, ns being inimical to the interests of the territory.

TIE Prescott Courier says:

'.Men should be elected to office with a view to their fitness for the position, and not on the sympathy racket. We have hospitals and other charitable institutions to care for the indigent and physically and mentally broken down, if they are without means to care for themselves"
 This is probably aimed at prom inent democratic candidate in Co., conino who is working the sympathy racket for a little more than it is worth, but the Courier need not to have been so brutally outspoken about the matter.

4 Good Producer.

We understand that the Diamond Joe mine of Cedar district has been bonded to Mohave county parties and that the probability is the property will change hands in short time. This mine has been steady producer of rich ore for several years past, al- though worked in crude manner. The sales from ore have netted fully $70, ,000 at the low price of silver. So far the main shaft on the property has been carried down 2I0 feet, and at the bottom, ore, far richer than that found on the surface, has been found. A tunnel 400 feet in length taps the 150-foot level. Last summer new shaft was sunk to a depth of fifty feet and cave in the hanging wall re- vealed large body of rich ore iu a parallel ledge unknown before that time to the owner. This body of ore has been worked on ever since its dis covery. At no time since it's discov- cry has tho mine failed to pay its way, aud if it had been worked in a system- atc manner it would have become the producer of large dividends. We hope the sale will go through, as it will aid in developing that rich section of Mohave coupty.-Kingmau Miner.
