Mir. Ci.rE sun Improving.

The periodical report about W. A. Clark selling his United Verde mine for S60, 100000, l,ke previous ones seems somewhat premature, judging from what the Jerome News has to say concerning Mir. Clark's recent visit to that camp. It says:
 "EIon. w. A. Clark, after a busy week in Jerome, left on Wednesday noon for Butte, Montana. He went from here to Prescott. This annual visit of Mir. Clark to Jerome was of much interest to our citizens as he left orders for numerous changes, all of which will much improve the general appearance of our camp. While here a committee consisting of I. A. Brown and w. s. Adams, appointed by the citizens of Jerome, called upon MT. Clark to suggest he erection of an opera house. The committee was well received and af- ter discussing the matter thoroughly returned with the assurance of Mir. Clark that the matter would be taken up at once with his officials. That MT. Clark IS interested iu the matter was soon made known by the fact that he at once consulted with the officials as promised, and under his instructions railroad superintendent Burns secured samples of cIay near Jerome Junction which were at once forwarded to Butte, where they will be tested for brick making pur- poses and if the clay proves of the proper kind brick making will be commenced at once and the correction of a large brick building will soon follow. The new opera house will be erected between the hospital and the mercantile house of Con O'Keefe; will be of three stories, facing the Peerless saloon and two stories from the street leading to the depot. The basement being a store room, the second story an amuse- ment hall and the third a hall for rental to secret societies. The building will be most complete in every respect.
 Another improvement ordered by Mir. Clark is the removal of the stone shack occupied by the China man near where the photographer has his tent pitched. The occu- pants have been ordered to vaeate, and instructions to rage the build ing within thirty days. Further or ders were also given for the erection of twelve or fifteen new cottages, and work on these has already com menced.
 Mir. Clark informed the News that 1t was his intention to continue the work of improvement until Jerome became model camp, aud that he was much pleased at the great stride forward the camp had made during the past year, and that he was ready to do anything reasonable to ad- vance the camp.

The Southwestern Stockman pu . fishes an article in regard to pres pective litigation over the waters of the Verde river. It has been an open secret for some time that the Phenix water sharks have been look ing with jealous eyes upon the irri- gation enterprises in the Verde val ley, and parties have been sent mp into that valley at sundry times for for the past three or four years to investigate affairs. The Stockman says:
 'Years ago. when Camp Verde was flourishing, and railroads were unknown in Northern Arizona, tha=- was a very considerable agricultural population in the neighborhood of this post. But the post was aban- doned, railroads brought to Prescott and Northern Arlzona all hnds oI agricultural supplies much cheaper than they could be marketed from the Yavapai valleys, and the Verde farms were deserted and the farmers moved away"
 That makes a nice little para graph, the only trouble with it be- ing that it lacks the element of truth. Not a single case case can be cited of a farmer who had water moving away or abandoning his farm. The f;ct is, there has been constant demand for land in the Verde valley possessing water priv ileges. s
 Farmers there have had consider able trouble from their irrigating ditches being washed out, and have incurred great expense in maintain ing their irrigation system. The Stockman very correctly aud appro- priately says that "this water is now the means whereby 8 number of excellent men are making for them selves and families livelihood on the Verde land, aud 1t is hardly probable they will surrender with out a struggle and that struggle attended with serious features"

Our contemporary recently pub lished an item in which it was (un- Intentionally, no doubt, implied that the only opposition to McCord was that paper. Now 1t asserts thst go out of every 100 are opposed to to him. Of course, this percentage of opposition applies to candidates for the same position for which Col. McCord has been named. 1t is a matter of history that McCord had the best endorsement of any candi- date for the position. It was on account of this that the malicious and bitter charges were made against him, as that was thought to be the only means whereby his strong en- dorsement could be overcome. 1t is also matter of general belief that if vote had been taken by tue executive committee, which was called together recently to turn down McCord, he would have re- ceived more votes in that committee than any other candidate. Those manipulating the committee did not dare to allow the committee 10 take a vote on individual candi- dates.
 Governor Franklin is quoted as having said last summer, after the nomination of Major Wm. McKin- ley, that in case of McRinley's election, he, the aforesaid governor, would have his resignation in the presidents hands on the fourth day of March 1897. As the guberBa- torial seat became warmer, how ever, under the portly form of his exeellency, he realized more fully 'how good and how pleasant a thing it is to be governor" When McKinley's election was announced, the governor had forgotten all about his ante-election assertion and start ed his brain tn motion to devise ways and means to hold on to office as long as he could. Realizing that his term of office was subject to the will of the president he planned to retain his sppointees in office and as a result the tenure of office bill was evolved and was introduced in the legislature. There were enough democratic members in the legisla- ture, however, possessed of sufficient principle and appreciation of de. cency in politics to defeat this measure. The next move was to join in the attempted defeat of Col. MeCord and to this end the gover- nor's attorney general was sent to Washington. Apparently realizing that the end is drawing near the governor, through the board of con- trol, has taken up the completion of the Flagstaff reform school and has entered into a contract for that pur- pose the object of which must be apparent 10 all, to hamper his successor. Governor Franklin has demonstrated right along that he is very small caliber politician and smooth bore at that.

Carl Kurtz furnishes the follow
 ing in regard to a recent sale of
 properties near Peoples valley: The
 property in question is the Monte
 Cristo group of mines, situsted four
 miles northwest of Peoples valley.
 The properties were owned one-half
 by Carl Kurtz and one-half by Sin
 clair 6 Walloth, the latter of Tar
 nell. Kurtz worked the properties
 mostly with his own labor, chlorid
 ing and developing, for the past
 three years. Some 700 feet of de- Islopmsnt work has been done. Mill
 runs on ore taken from wall to wall
 gave returns of $22 per ton gold in
 co ton lots. The ledge is 26 inches
 wide. IL is partly free and partly
 lead, sulphur and pyrites of iron.
 The deed includes four claims-the
 Monte Cristo, Eastern Divide, Black
 Diamond and New California. All
 of them connect between main ledge
 and cross veins. Some assays which come out of face workings have gone
 as high as $4l2 per ton. The ore is
 what miners call California blue ribbon quartz, with porphyry mixed in. Formation is granite with big porphyrY dykes running through in very prominent manner. Every mining mans who has seen this comparatively new district calls it one of the best formations to make Q prominent camp, after proper developing. The lead can be traced through the foot hills of Peoples valley for ten miles until it runs under cover, close to the Planet Saturn mine in Fools Gulch. Opinions are undivided as to its be- ing the same lead as the Fools Gulch property. The purchaser of the property is Dr. Underwood, rep resentative of very prominent banking concern, who is fully au- thorized to make and close deals in his line of business. He has been with the bank as expert for seyen- teen years. He came up to my camp on July 8, surprising me at the breakfast table and told me he wanted to see the property. He had before seen samples and reports of several parties, and, knowing he had no time to lose, took q look at the property, investigating as only | } practical miner can. Having | completed his examination, he told | ne to come up, sit down and talk | business. He made his proposition | md l made mine. He told me to | come right along and make out papers. went for my partners, anne up to Prescott on the night rain, and at 10 o'clock the next | morning an understanding was cached. lr. Underwood knew his business snd bound me right on the so l could not back out" |

er of a definite nature has been
learned of the supposed loss of
the four-masted iron ship Glenor-

age picked up by the Indians at

of the vessel, probably with all
on board. The Glenorchy last

ried to Port Pirie, Australia. Ship
pers state they thought the Glen
orchy had been berthed for the

The enthusiasm on Bryan's ap-
pearance was immense, of course,
says a report in the Chronicle.
There were fully 5000 people
present, and their greeting lacked
nothing in cordially. They
laughed at his stories, cheered the
one or two flashes in the pan that
reminded them of the promised
oratory, and appreciated the ap-
parent sincerity and simplicity of
the man. When he broke into
homely Southern accent and STUN
bled and tripped over 'conglom-
crate" they but liked him the bet
ter. When he twisted the British
lions tail and accused the gold
bugs of coquetting with foreigners
some one cried, "Down with John
ny Bull" and when he said that
il the United States were to be
flooded with silver he was willing
to have it all piled on a five acre
lot he owns somewhere in Nebras-
ka, they loved him for his simpli-
city. His best story was of the
Irishman who said the Democrats
"belaved in sixteen to one, and the
Republicans in nothing to ate"

characters, many Of them intelli.
gent, speaking several languages,
says the Kona Echo. They GO all
over the world, come here, marry
a native woman, settle down to a
happy domestic life, get fat on poi
and so unfit themselves for rowing.
Benjamin Tenorio, called "police
Balm" one of Kona's best mount
ed police, left his home when 8
years old on Spanish war vessel.
After serving his time he enlisted
on an English man-of. war, then
again on French gunboat. Fond
of change, as soon as he got free
from his French commission he
boarded one of Uncle Sans big
fighting vessels and saw some
action during the civil war. Get.
ting accustomed to the roaring OF
the cannon, like the Irishman
used to hanging, he found it
rather tame and, after the war was
over, tried whaling along the
Greenland coast. Here he saw
his boat crushed to thousand
pieces in the ice and whalesswitch-
ing their tails few feet from him.
He has coasted most countries OF
the world, and has been in their
big cities. He has enjoyed the
extremes of everywhere, even to
being near both poles, "From
Greenland's icy mountains to In
dia's coral strands, Where Afric's
sunny fountains wash down the
golden sands" Balm has been
never sick, never hungry, for he
has usually been cook He is
now settled down in Kona, mar
ried to good native wife, enjoy
ing himself most when dsshing
along the road on feet horse, or
mounted at the door of the court
house in presence of the learned
Judge. Although a good citizen
of Hawaii, Balm is proud of his
Spanish blood and if you want to
see him dance like children
around a May pole, show him the
flag of Spain floating in the
breezy air.
Another interesting character
often seen on the street of Kailus,
is James Smith, six feet high,
muscular body, easy manners,
regular features, clear blue eyes,
manly voice, showing that of the
many Smiths, big and little of this
wide world, James could belong
to none other than the Smiths of
Banff, Scotland. There he ate
porridge and now he likes poi.
