The Problem Of Party Reorganization.

The Problem or Party Reorganization.
 Monday, in the office of Judge c. w. Wright, at Tucson, there was held meeting of prominent republicans of Pima county, called to consider the question of party reorganization. The following named gentlemen were pre- sent either in person or by proxy:
 Tucson: c. F. Schumacher, Thos. Wilson, c. ". Wright, w. J. Ross, T. A. Borton, M. P. Freeman, Royal A. Johnson. Joseph c. Perry, John A. Black, l.. Johnson, k. II. Paul, l.. B. Hayes, ]. c. Hilzinger, P. B. ziegler, W. E. Felix, J. M. Mariscal, A. J. Keen, Miguel Diaz, A.. H. Rosenstock.

 Tubac: J. F. Black, by W. J. Ross, proxy.
 Allen T. Bird was elected chairman of the meeting and w. J. Ross, secretary.
 The call for the meeting was read, and it's object was stated to be to de- yise some means for reorganization of the republican party and wrestling it from the secret religio-political orga- nization which has fastened itself upon the party and controlled 1t to it's ruin.
 Judge Wright offered a motion that a committee of five be appointed to formulate plan of action which shall be reported to convention of repre- sentative republicans to be called by said committee in the city of Tucson on Tuesday, December 18th, 1896. After a prolonged discussion the mo- tion was adopted by unanimous vote, and the committee was appointed by the chair as follows:
 Royal A. Johnson, c. W. Wright, Thos. A. Borton, J. W. Burger and 1 W. J. Ross.
 The meeting then adjourned. The committee appointed has actively taken up the work and every precinct in the county will be communicated with and arrangements made to have a full meeting when the convention assemblies on the evening of Decem- Der 18th.

OLD SHARKEY.
A STORY OF THE GOLD MINES.

SIOhf Of tn Il GOLD MINES.
When you are going to town with
your dust, Smith ?" asked q tall, un-
shaven miner, as he looked into our
cabin, one day, when I and my part.
ner, Seth Wiley, were at dinner
We knew the mans name to be Ma
son; and since our coming to the
mines, scarce four weeks before, he
had shown us a great deal Of kind
ness, for the work was new to us,
and it was partly owing to his
been so lucky in finding the golden
dust in our claim, until we had quite
heap Of shining ore, and thought
it about time to convey it to a place
of greater safety than in our cabin,
in the heart of great mining dis
trict.
"To-morrOw, if the day is good"
was my answer; and then I added,
Won't you come in and take q
mOuthful with us?"
IL don't care if I do" he replied,
in rather an unnecessarily loud tone
of voice.
AS he stepped through the door
way, got glimpse of couple of
fellows a short distance off, who had
paused, apparently attracted by our
conversation but evidently they
had heard our friend accept our in
vitation, and. thinking they would
hear no more, slowly moved on
They were looked upon by the
whole community of miners with
distrust, as but small portion of
their time was spent at work; and
such class are always at discount
in a community such as ours, where
everybody is expected to earn their
own bread by the sweat of their
brow.
"Take a seat" I said, moving a
little to one side so there would be
room for him on the bench where 1
sat.
No, thank you; am in hurry
and cannot stop but moment. /
only stepped in to ask you when you
were going, and to give those chaps
hint to move on, as thought per-
haps it might be just as well that
they did not hear what passed be-
tween US. And so you go to-mor-
row? ?"
Eyes"
"One, or both 2"
" I'm going alone Seth is to stay
and see that nobody infringes on us
here"
But why not send your dust, as
! spoke of the other day."
Because / have got other busi-
ness that takes me to town, and so
can carry it just as well as not, and
save the charge they make to ensure
its safety"
Mason was silent a moment, while
I slipped my coffee, and waited for
him to speak, If he had further to
say.
"What time do you set out?" he
asked, at length, looking up.
Not before noon, as shall have
plenty of time then to reach Old
Sharkey's before dark"
I" Do you know him? ?"
No; l have never seen him.
His cabin was deserted when we
came by, but some one pointed 1t
out as a sort of halfway house,
where the miners stopped over night
when coming and going from the
mines. There seemed to have been
quite extensive diggings about there
at one time, but they are deserted
now, believe"
Yes, they were deserted more
than year ago, and no one has un
dertaken to work them since; bu
