Neu Forks Value.

Unless some surprising mishap over
takes them IL seems pretty certain that
the Tammany candidates will sweep
the field in the Greater New York con-
test. The betting Is all in their favor
at odds OF two to one. The history of
political contests in this country shows
that there is no surcr sign than this of
the drift OF public thought. The George
movement which at its inception gave
rise TO fears Of serious injury TO the reg
ular Democratic ticket, is more than
counterbalanced by the Republican de-
fection to Low. The indications at
present are that these two irregular
candidates will muster about equal
streagth at the polls II they are both
left In the lleld on the day the votes are
cast.
All Democrats that realize that moth
ing stimulates party courage so much
as victory must rejoice at the prospects
Of Tammany's success. Whatever the
socioty's faults are, however grievous
may be the complaints against the con-
duet of certain OF its leaders past and
present, the fact remains that Tammany
is the only organized Democratic force
east OF the Allegheny mountains. II 1t
be destroyed, the Democracy will have
no force left for waging aggressive and
determined warfare in the Empire State
with Its thirty-four ELECTORAL votes and
the enormous moral influence which

AN ARIZONA RAILROAD.
The Mining Camp of Moreno
 to Have an Outlet.

The Phoenix Republican says
 Notice of intention to build e rail-
 road from Guthrie, a station on the
 New MsIico and Arizona railroad. 10
 Morenci, was Sled in the office of the Secretary of the Territory yesterday afternoon by Col. William Herring. Ci Tucson, attorney for the Copper Queen Consolidated Minin. Company.
 The notice is filed in compliance with an act of the Nineteenth Leeis- lature "to encourage the construction of railroads within the Territory Of Arizons." The act was passed oR March 18th. In order to avail them selves of the exemption from taxation fsr term of fifteen years promoters of railrsads are required ts file notices of intention within six months from the date of fassage. This period will expire on the 18th Of this month.
 Guthrie, the proposed southern ter minus of this line. is about ten niles south of Clifton, and is the nearest point to Clifton at which line can diverge in the direction 0f Norepci, which lies north and slightly west Of Clifton. The line will be twenty miles in length ard for a considerable part of the dstancs the construction will not bs attended with great diff culty. It will be necessary to cross the San Francisco river, in the::vicin- ity Of which the country is rough. The approach to Morenci is also rugged.
 Since the Copper Queen company bought the Morenci property the works hove b,eR extended with still further enlsrgements in view which will greatly increase the volume of trsffio. At the came time the con- tinual development of the Arizona Copper con'pany's property at Metcalf md those in the vicinity of Aorsnci have increased its own traffic over the extreme narrow gauge so that addi- iional transportation facilities have become not only desirable to both 1 but necessary.
 Under the terms of the tax exemp- ton sct actual work must be begun l 0n the line within six mopths from l he filing of the notice of intention md the conitruCtio must ts carried l ,n at the rate of twenty-five miles . rear until it is completed.

LABOR DAY.
Proclamation by the Governor Requesting Its Observance.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA,

EXECUTIVE DEPAETMEST.)
 The laws ef the United States desig- nate the first Monday in September of each year ss legal holiday 10 be known hs Latcr Day.
 When we reflect that labor is the foundation and creator of all wealth that upon 1t depends all happiness and all excellence; that it is labor that builds up great States and car ries on the commerce Of the world, the wisdom Of tbis enactment is sp- parent, and especially is It so when applied to the people of our territory who are laboring 10 develop it's various | resources and establish for themselves happy homes. Our busy and indus trious communities contain but few drones, hence nearly all csn be right fully classed hs laborers-the me- chsnic, the merchant, the miner, the lawyer, the farmer, the divine, the banker, the physician, the teacher and the clerk, as we'll as he Nho per- forms the more severe task of daily manual labor, are laborers in the bes sense of the word, for while many earn their daily bread by the swea. oI their face and others by the work Of their brain, they are all toilers.
 A general observance Of the day so wisely get apart by Congress will tend to promote 8 higher appreciation of the dignity Of labor and the great part it is taking in the building up Of our Territory and the great Republic of which We hope soon to become State. To bring labor of all kinds into closer relations with itself and with other interests, to inculcAte a friendly feel ing and hearty cooperation between labor and capital, thus encouraging good will between all classes of the community with 6 view to pleasant and reciprocal relations, is the great object Of this observance of Labor Day.
 Now, therefore. I, Myron 1T. Me Cord, Governor of Arizona. do pro claim and declare Monday, the 9th day Of September. 1897, e legal holi- day, and do most earnestly recem- mend that all business of whatever nature, except such as the necessi,ies of the community require 10 be car ried on, be suspended on that day, that all who desire may have an CT peituni:y to observe the day in a 1 befitting the importance of the occasion. Let us not forget that Labor Day is as important and to future genera lions will become as suggestive and inspiring as the religions and patriotic that our people SO loyally md relieiously observe.

THE APACHE KID.
His Bones Are Bleaching in
 the Sierra Madres.

There seems new to be certainty that the Apache Kid, who hes terror ised Arizona for years at the head of q band of cu.-thToats no less merei.ess than himself, is dead. A dispatch printed recently in the newspapers throCghou. tke country stated that the bones of the tiead were bleaching on the Sierra Madre Noun tains in Mexico.
 Sokle weeks ago a squaw returned to the San Carlos agency and said that she had boen with the Kid until his death. when she determined to re- tuIn to Arizona.
 A cowboy named Hal nap, who wa. in Phoenix from GIls county, in con- versation with Gazette reporter stated tha. the story related by tho squsw was believed to be true in that section. Upon the return Of the seuaw to the reservation, from which place she had been stolen about three years ago by the Kid, she wss very reticen. concerning the Kid, and claimed that she had not been with hlin Tor over 6 yosr. She finally sd nitted that she was with him at the time Of his death, in the Sierra N adre mountains, distance of one hundred ml!ss below the southern boundary of the international line.
