ARIZONA IRON
There Are Vast Deposits Here Await.
 ing the Day of Need.

Charlie Rampf, one of the bsst known and most experienced prospect ors in the territory has been in the city a few days from hi. claims in the Magazine district Tor reast of h r4.
 He reports considerable mu.ing ac- tivity in that part of the valley and gays that although tine countrv Is dry there is plenty of water for mining m, LO>es in his cicil t-. He is fortu- ndtr {, located near a sprin'; that can always be relied upon.
 Marian and Green, who have a good prospect some distance above him. are engaged in putting up small shelter to work heir ores.
 Speaking of iron, MT. Rampf says: People tell me there is no iron to speak of in Arizona. On the contrary I can show them mountains of 1t and l know what l am talking about. for l lived in an iron country before coming 10 Arizona.
 "I know what mining is in all It's branches and 1 know 1t is as safe as any business if one has d little money and invests 1t as carefully a he would in any other business
 Speaking of Arizona iron Mr. Ramnf said In effect that it is. of course. inl- practical to do much with 1t at pres ent, but the day is coming when there will be a demand for it. Iron. of course, cannot be mined here and shipped away to the furnaces. but the time is coming when the furnaces will corle to the iron. Fuel is the question that pre- sents itself first when iron is under dis cussion. It takes cheap fuel and lots of it to work iron mines. Mir. Rampf is a firm believer in the Nicara guan canal. It ought to be built now and il will be built some day. With that or other cheap transportation facilities. fuel can be laid down In southern Ari- zona at q comparatively reasonable rate and beside who knows what day rich coal fields may oe discovered near at home With cheap fuel. Arizona iron mines will be in demand. and when they are wanted they will like the AIi- zona gold mines. be forthcoming.
 Mir Rampf believes also that Arizona ia destined to become a state. rich, pop ulous and enterprising. When Arl- zona's iron product is ready for the market it will not be carted away al less than cost to compete for the Flu European trade but will be needed for construction work right here at home. All that will be required Is to produce it cheap enough so it can be used here iu competition with the product of the east now shipped to this coast at g great expense for freight. MT. Rampf is not an idle theorist and don't expect to see these things right away. but he says the time is coming and the ore is here when some one goes after it.
 He has implicit faith in his gold and silver mines In the Magazine district, which. he says, only lack capital to de velop them and he is hammerng away as hard as he can with his limited re- sources He has one mine alone that he believes is rich enough to pay off the national debt If it is fully developed.

A SERIOUS CRIME
Prisoner in Tombstone Jail Charged
 With a Terrible 0ffense.4 :. q

Last night prisoner named Edward
 Heron was brought to the Tombstone
 jail from Benson by Officer Sbsli1na.
 says the Prospector. The charge
 against the prisoner is one of the most
 terrible in the criminal code. that of
 committing assault on a five-year-old girl. The popuiace- of Benson were aroused and an indignant mob became so incensed that talk of lynching was freely indulged in. This feeling became more intensified until Officer Shilliam. fearing for his prisoner. took him from the Benson jail and brought him to the Tombstone jail pending trial The lit tie girl upon whom the assault was committed is but five years old and it IS said a most loathsome complication has been a direct result of the crime.
 The prisoner when seen at the jail today said he did not care to make any statement at this time. further than denying the charge against him. When pressed further Heron repeated that he preferred not to talk until his eX- which will be had before Justice Schuster on Monday
 There is much feeling expressed on he streets regarding this case and de- are awaited at the hearing ,n Monday.

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.

Indian Dude Pete. who is confined in the county jail on a charge of horse stealing. made bold break for liberty Monday morning. A couple of prison CTS came out for a bucket of water when he followed them out. and once out of the jail he started like deer across the plaza. The jailor fired two shots in the air 10 attract public atten- ton to the fleeing prisoner and two deputies started in pursuit. They overlook him at the Hotel Burke cor ner and when one of them grabbed him the Indian snatched the deputy's pistol out of his pocket and attempted to shoot the officer. The latter. by a sudden move grabbed the gun and pre- vented him from accomplishing his purpose. and Mir. Lo was marched back to his old quarters in the jail.

YOU'VE men are more prominent in
politics now than ever before in the
history of the nation. The percent
age of young men as delegates to
both the Republican and Democratic
CONVEX tons was strikingly notice
able. Mr.. Bryan at his present age
is the youngest man ever nominated
for President. He was the youngest
by several years when he received his
first Presidential nomination. Mr..
Clay is next in the list, followed by
Grant. About three candidates
for vice. Presidents have been as
young as Roosevelt. Congress and
the Senate have more young members
than ever before. In some Of the
States young men have been nomi-
mated for Gubernstorial honors and
Mayor Van Wyck is one of the young
est mayors New York ever had. Pol
tiles evidently has attractions for
young men, and the prOgressiveness
Of the age seems to demand them.
But the young man who succeeds on
the perilous seas of political conten-
ton and uncertainty is the man who
keeps his head and sticks to prinei'
Piles and honor. The enthusiasm and
dash Of youth, combined with cool
elaboration and sound judgment,
makes strong combination. The
political aspirant who carries an old
head On young shoulders is quite 3
magnetic figure and very apt to win.
But every young politician does not
possess these essentials to success,
and as q consequence there will
doubtless be scores of sorebesds and
political wrecks.

All is not as peaceful aud quiet on

on the little spat which occurred there.
Ii was quite q large meeting. When
entered the court house Mr.. h. Allen

done, only two voting in the negative.
Mr.. John Tabb then cut the long tail
from the Jones kite by offering reso.
luton simply endorsing the course OF
Mr.. Jones in Congress. and no more.
This was adopted.
Several gentlemen, in speaking, said
that Mr.. Jones and Tom Downing had
both opposed the action OF the Norfolk
convention on the Constitutional con-
vention provision, and this. too, after
Downing had been chosen State
elector. Yours, etc,
