Changes Made tn The SsIperutsoriaI DIs-
trict boundaries.


SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Aug. 1O.-A
small tempest has been brewing in the
Santa Barbara County political teapot ever
since the Board of Supervisors proposed in
July to make certain changes in the Super
visorial districts. To-day when the board
in special session confirmed these changes
many indignant comments were made on
the streets.
Santa Barbara County has five Super
visors from as many districts. The Super
visorial districts at this end of the county
formerly compreheuded the territory from
Carpinteria to Santa Barbara, then Santa
Barbara itself, and then a tract from Santa
Barbara up the coast and across the noun
tains to Santa Ynez. This last great terri
tory at present is represented by Ed de la
Cuesta, while Santa Barbara has been rep
resented by Bascom Williams and the Car
pinteria and Montecito district by Super
visor Sawyer. The modification adopted
at to-day's meeting of the board gives Saw
yer two wards in Santa Barbara and adds
to Williams territory the strip of rich
farming country extending to Goleta on
the west and reaching to the foot of the
tollroad.

strap, senior editor of the VisaIia News
and a member OF the steering committee
fight in the Populist National Convention,
returned from st. Louis yesterday. He
sizes up the situation as follows:
II believed that the interests of the
Peoples party and its principles would be
best served by nominating a straight Pop
ulist ticket. When we succeeded in re-
versing the order of business, nominating
Populist for Vice-President, we achieved
a substantial victory, thereby making it
possible in each State to maintain the
identity of the Peoples party and its
principles intact. the object of first i'm
portance to all true Populists. l believe
Mr.. Sewall's nomination and the disrup-
lion of the Peoples party would have
most likely followed, since the fact that
Mr.. Bryan corld not have honorab ac-
cepted the nomination would have been a
telling argument with all Bryan dele
gates. l shall support Bryan ana Watson,
believing that the future success of the
party and its principles in a great
measure depends upon the increased vote
of the Peoples party at the coming cleo
ton. am not worrying as to the course
the Democratic party may pursue con-
corning the Vice Presidential nominees.
The responsibility OF electing Bryan rests
with them now and cannot be POSSIBLY
achieved in any other way than by their
supporting Watson electors. No true
Populist will submit to any further con-
cessions or in any way consummating any
deal that would compel them to directly
or indirectly aid IN the election OF Mr..
Sewall, the National banker"

a Populist View of the Situa alton.


FL. E. Tsubeneck, chairman of the
national committee of the peoples par
ty, said 10 an interview at st. Louis:
Il believe we will carry next fall all
the territories and q majority of the
states OF the south and west-Colorado,
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming,
Utah, Oregon, Washington, California,
Kansas, Nebraska, and the two Dskotss,
and believe, Iowa. We have a good
fighting chance in Missouri, and are cer-
tain of sweeping Texas and will carry
every congressional district, In the latter
state, with the possible exception of three.
''In the south We will carry without
question, Alabama, Georgia, and North
and South Carolina. Ii the union of
forces between the silver advocates and
ourselves is as harmonious as everything
DOW indicates it will be, we expect to
capture all of the states south of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers with the posi-
BILE exception of West Virginia, Kentuc-
Ky and Tennessee, where the fight will be
between Us and the republicans. This
would leave the republicans sixteen
states east of the Mississippi and north
of the Potomac and Ohio without taking
the democrats into calculation at all.
when the national convention OF the
peoples party and the national silver
party assemble in st. Louis, speaking
as the chairman of the Lstionsl CONN
tee, l assure you every effort CONSTANT
with party honor and every concession
not involving a departure from princi-
pies will be made to form coagulation
between the two organizations.
Candidates for the first and second
place on the presidential ticket will be
selected with reference TO their ability
to draw votes from all the reform par
ties in the country and from the dissa-
tistied among the members OF the two
old parties as we'll.
whether our candidates for president
will be Stewart. Tillman, or Cameron, L
am not prepared to say. Jones, OF Ne
vada, is out of the question, because he
is not native of the United States.
MY individual belief is that our can
didate will come from the west or south.
The people dIstrust a man from the
east
while our declaration OF party priu-
ciples will involve an expression on other
issues the financial plank will form the
broadcast and biggest part of our plat
form.

EDITOR CITIZEN:-
Very few people who have not been
to Globe to stay any length of time have
any idea of it's mineral resources. There
is no place in the territory where the
copper veins are 80 we'll defined and so
numerous. The copper belt around
Globe covers an area of about seventy
five square miles and as rule the ore
is high grade. There is room. for, and
plenty OF ore, for a half dozen large
companies in the copper and the gold
district which surrounds the town. For
10 or 20 miles around the country is
rich IN mineral veins some OF which are
of immense size, ADD as shown by actual
workings results, will we'll repay work
ing. Water and timber are abundant.
The silver belt which commences on
the ehst. at q distance of about FIVE
miles, is perhaps one of the richest on
the Globe. 1t has, DO doubt, actually
rained silver there at some time. The
two Chilson boys picked up about
SSO,OCO 10 nuggets of almost pure metal
on the surface from the value OF two
or three dollars each to many hundre de.
One man came across large boulder
Of silver and sat by 1t for two days. de
was nearly starved when party came
along and furnished him q piece Of
paper for notice and he was relieved.
1t netted him $1,000. This looks very
much like munchausen story but it is
sill true. There was one boulder picked
up while l was in Globe. 1t weighed
81 pounds and is now in the
possession of Louis Sultan, Esq,
OF the sultan Mercantile Company. 1t
was as bright as a new dollar b, ighteped
no doubt by attrition with the rocks.
This silver belt extends, am informed,
q long distance even to the Sierra An
