Propriety and regularity are not to
be compared with the exigencies Of po-
litical emergencies, says the Gazette.
Even Uncle Sam, who is so punctual in
delivering the mails, must stand aside
when great political orator is to be
transported in post haste. Tom Fitch
arrived from the east, where he has la
bored the past few weeks quite indus
triously to close the last remaining sill
yer mines of Arizona by electing sin
gle gold standard man. He was billed
to speak in Prescott, but the train did
not reach Phoenix until 10 o'clock y. M,
six hours late, and the north train had
gone. The engagement was pressing,
and a SPECIAL was made up, taking the
only engine here, leaving the regular
mail and passengers at the mercy of ac-
cident, or rather the bringing of one
from Prescott. When 1880 arrived sew
eral business men and others were at
the depot, as was the mail, but there
was no engine. A quarter before 8, local
time, one arrived from Prescott, and the
badly belated passengers went on board,
taking their chances of remaining
twenty-four hours in Ash Forks to await
connection. OF course this is excusabie,
as gold standard speaker billed to re-
cite Ruth and Naomi was on board.
The correspondence published in the
Los Angeles Times, alleged to have been
written by a citizen of Jerome. is the
most ridiculous piece Of campaign lit
erature which has come under our no.
tice. "Silver can be mined at II cents, "
says this article The party who wrote
that, If he knows anything about min
ing, must know that 1t Is lie. And
as to the mine having tons of 1000-ounce
ore blocked out. we would inquire of the
correspondent how he knows that If the

such vigilance as the writer claims
The fact of the matter is that the cor
respondence published in the Times
must have been written in the office at
Los Angeles and the information guess

There was a rain almost approaching
a cloudburst at Nogales on Tuesday. 1t
set all the inhabitants, except those who
dwell high up on the mountain side, to
thinking, for Noga1es is so situated
that it could not survive such an incl
dent as occurred at Benson a month
ago.
Major Fechet, superintendent of the
Old Glory mine, last Monday started
the thirty-ton stamp mill on test run.
The machinery of the mine has just
been put in, and this test, authorized by
an order of the court, will decide future
action regarding the mine, which has
for some time been in litigation. The
person most deeply interested in the
Old Glory is Stillson Hutchins, the we'll
known journalist. He is paying the ex-
penses of the test.
A report comes from Nogales, says the
Star, that some OF the county candidates
are openly violating that part of the
purity of elections law by treating. Here
question comes up. Nogales, Sonora,
is separated from Pima county only by
a narrow street. Saloons are as numer-
Gus on the Sonora side as on the Pima
county side. The question is, has the
territory of Arizona any jurisdiction in
an act done on the Sonora side, though
1t might be an offense done on this side
of the line? The intent of the candi-
date who invites voters across the line
is to violate that clause of the law
which forbids him offering an improper
inducements to influence votes. The
penalties for the violation of the law,
aside from ineligibility in case Of elec-
tion, are fine and imprisonment. Still,
If he committed murder in Sonora he
could not be punished in Arizona.

by. G. w. fired five shots at Tom, who
saw his hand raise with V, but didn't
raise. After the smoke had cleared away
Tom took off his boots and emptied the
bullets out. G. w. got a currycomb and
sifted his hair for lead, but found none.
1t Is thought Tom was loaded blank for
the Doran goldbugs and forgot to re-
load. Judge Brakeman set G. w. L.

In Galena gulch, a tributary of Chapar-
raj gulch, Alex Denny Tuesday shot
VIM. Hunter and the latter was not ex-
pected to live at this writing, says the
Prescott Courier. In answer to a tele-
phonegram, Deputy Munds went out
Denny gave himself up after the Shoot
ing. 1t is stated that Hunter was tear
ing down a wall on Denny's ground
when Denny told him to desist and the
two men quarreled and fought, and
Denny shot Hunter through the body
with a 3S-caliber pistol Excitement ran
high over the shooting. Hunter was a
miner in the Little Jessie mine and Dem
ny a placer miner in Galena gulch. Both
men bear good regulations. Hunter
leaves four children who are in charge
of his mother. a lady of so years, who
was so prostrated by the tragedy that
her death was momentarily expected.
It is also stated that there were no wit
nesses to the tragedy. The fatal bullet
entered Hunters body low and to the
front of the right side, ranging up and
coming out of the back in the region Of
the kidneys.
The rains of the past month are said
to have been unprecedented in the hit-
tory of Arizona. The soil in this section
Is now saturated to greater depth
than it has been for several years, and
the water supply for the coming winter
is assured. The rains while unfavorable
to the roundup work and hay making,
have been of material benefit to the
range country by renewing mountain
springs and thereby giving cattle access
to fresh range for the fall and winter
months. If the weather only continues
warm until the grass has time to cure,
no harm will result to live stock inter-
ests from the super-abundant rainfall
of the past few weeks. However, the
less rain we have from the present time
until February or March the better for
our herds.-Sulphur Valley News.
A vein Of ore ten inches in width is
now being worked in the Zero mine. Ore
from this vein gives an average assay
value of 1898 ounces silver per ton. This
mine is one of the few silver mines in
Yavapai county which has been worked
steadily for the past four years.
