city of Prescott, the mining center of Arizona.
 The Phoenix carnival is one of the principal topics of conversation, and great interest is manifested in it's sue cess, as many hundreds of visitors will not fail to stop over at Prescott and Jerome to look into and invest in it's mines. Many will also lay over at Williams and Flagstaff to visit Ma ture's greatest wonder, the Grand Can von of the Colorado. Phoenix can reckon on having one thousand visitors from this northern portion of Arizona alone l will say in connection with the carnival that no better, honorable and splendid citizens could have been selected as has been done for the Narl- ous branches of the programme Their names insure a success from the start. Let us all pull together and boost her up. Vive la carnival!
 Tn q pleasant half-hour chat with the courteous Mir. H. P. Anewalt, general passenger and freight agent of the S- F. P. 6 P. railroad, this gentleman stated that his road would do all in its power to make the carnival success The rates on it's road and the Santa Fe system would be the lowest that can possibly be given with extra hne lralIl service and ample accOn1noddlloHS- III addition to this, says MT. AneWalt, the company will assist most heartily III the work of the board of trade Pamphlets and folders will be alstrlp- uted all over the lines of the Santa Fe and their agencies with instructions to boost I'D Arizona '"The success or Phoenix is as much to the s. F. P x P. road as to Phoenicians themselves, said MT. Anewalt I've want to bring all the population, wealth and trade that we can Our interests are identi- cal" The people of Phoenix have no better friend than the courteous oth- cials of the g. F.

A PRESCOTT LETTER
What the People of the North Think
 of fine Carnival.

Editor Arizona Republican: Sir-For three successive days we have had rain, rain and more rain The ground IS thoroughly soaked, the creeks are running full, the streets are mud lakes, everything is wet and Jupiter Pluvfus IS playing high-jinks in anticipation of similar times at the coming carnival Of Greater Phoenix. Everybody seems delighted at this unexpected yet vel come rain, which will do incalculable good to the cattle, sheep, agricultural and mining industries, to say nothing Of it's sanitary benefits.
 Yavapai county is on the eve of booming times Everywhere are made rich discoveries of gold, silver and cop per mines. To add to the advantages of Yavapai mines is the indisputable fact that as depth is attained more richness is developed. The Congress Gold company is an example. Its main mine has attained depth of 2,700 feet and its gold yield is greater than ever before. The United Verde at Jerome is taking out richer ore as depth is at tained. The same may be said of the Crowned King, Senator, Gladiator and innumera ble other mines. It would not be surprising to see at no distant day a mining boom in this, the greatesL of Arizonas mining districts, with headquarters at the beautiful rounta m

GETTING THE BEST OF ARMOUR

A poor and humble Sioux City butch
 CT has a contract in his possession signed by the representatives of P. D.
 Armour which he considers to be bet ter than any claim in the Klondyke. It is estimated that his profits in the deal before he finishes with the big packer
 will be at least S100, ,000 Already he has received a portion of it, and, all , though he may have some trouble 70
 get the rest, it is said upon high legal
 authority he has what may be com
 mOnly termed a Head pipe cinch."
 Last spring a representative Of the Armour pa.king house in Omaha came to Sioux City and made J. M Ralya 8
 proposition tc furnish him his entire supply Of fresh pork during the next six months at q rate based upon 5s4 cents Ter Joins and a corresponding figure for other grades. The butcher finally accepted the offer and the con- tract was drawn up and signed In
 this contract no limit is placed upon
 the amount tc be purchased. It runs to October 1. Tn a short time the price of the products covered in the deal
 went up to as high as 10 and Il cents, leaving an enormous margin fer the buyer.
 Ralya at once began buying and selling, and for a long time the orders were filled, and he made a profit of about $700 on each carload He is now in Chicago taking all orders he can get hold of, expecting that Armour will re- fuse to fill them. They are made sub
 ielt tlc delivery at the figures quoted in the contract. He expects to be obliged
 to sue for his profits in the way of
 damages fer failure tc perform the
 terms of the contract, and, it is said { he has strong backing in this expecta- | tion. The contract has been passed 1 upon by attorneys as being ironclad, and the butcher is almG1t sure of mak- i ing himself a rich man in one sum-
 nler's work.-Iowa State Register.

Evidently the republicans. no matter
how much they may whistle to keep

frightened over the results of the re,

Realizing the fact that Bryan has
gained ground rapidly and that even
McKinley's home state is in danger, the
