The Washington correspondent of the
New York World, William Shaw Bowen
writing his paper concerning the guber-
Material contest for Arizona, says among
other things which have been made
public here from time to time:
"A powerful opposition to the CON
hrmatlon of McOord is rapidly develop
ing. Several Senators are preparing
speeches to be delivered against CON
hrmasion. Delegate Smith, of Arizona,
announced his intention today to oppose
contrms tion.
Friends of McOord are corresponding
~ active. jos Smith, the chief of the
Burea of American Republics. is actively
lobbying In his behalf. He asserts that
the President desires confirm alton.
McOord was a member of Congress
with Mckinley, and voted for him Tor
Speaker against Mr.. Reed The fact
that McCord was an original Mckinley
man is believed to be the principal
reason for his appointments.
A number of Eastern capitalists are
among McOord's supporters. Stilsop
Pu'chins, of Washington. is one
Dick Kerene, the Star Ronte man, ie
another, and there are some in New

Mr.. PENRosE is engaged in building
mill at the Pesrce mines, below Will
cox, that will start up with an ability to
work forty tons per day of the rich ores
of that mine; it is however being so
constructed as TO be readily increased
in capacity to eighty tons per day. The
present output OF the mine is said 30 be
fully S25O,OOO per month. About one
half the output is gold at the present
working depth. At first about three
fourths the output was silver.

FROM Washington sdvices we learn
shat an affidavit hes been filed with the
Senate Committee on Territories, who
have the consideration of Mr.. McCord' IS
confirmation In hand, TO the effect that
there are only three Republicans in all
Arizona who are opposed to his con-
frmatiop, and those three are we'll
known gentlemen of this city. The
fact is that the ID iority of the rank and
file OF both parties are opposed to Mr..
McCord's confirmation, and among
prominent Republicans In the various
counties fully two thirds are supporters
of some other candidate than Mr.. Nc
Cord. while about one-hsf OF the
prominent Democrats are in favor of
him, hoping thereby to break up the
Republic party of Arizona, or have
been promised something by the Nc
Cord administration.
