 Bisbee Orb: Some very rich copper specimens were brought into town to- day from the Cananeas district. They showed the richest native copper and the owner assured us that the claim from which he took the speci- mems contained any quantity of ore of a similar class.
 Mohave Miner: George F. Sheldon, one of the big shareholders in the Midas mining company, has gone to Glendale, Arizona. where he will re- side. MT. Sheldon is well pleased with his investments in Mohave county and will occasionally visit this section to look after his mining in- terests.
 Mohave Miner: The companies operating the Sheeptrail and Home stead mines on the Colora7o river, west of Union Pass, have 150 men on the pay roll. The companies are under the same management. but are operating in Nevada and Arizona. Two twenty stamp mills will soon be at work crushing ore.
 Mohave Miner: At Searchlight there is great deal of mining activ- fly and within a very few weeks the big mill on the river will be running on rich gold ore. The haul to the river will be about twelve miles through big sand wash. The wash slopes away rapidly towards the river allowing the hauling of big loads of ore.
 Prescott Courier: The action of the smelter trust in raising rates so that large percentage Of the ores Of this section are shut out will be great help to the Val Verde shelter, in this county. and there is now no reason why that shelter will not be the success it should be. We should work every pound of ore at home that 1t Is possible to work here.

Volunteers Made Happy.

The Wyoming volunteers, the mem
bcrs of tho battery and battalion, re-
member gratefully the governors ef-
forts in their behalf. Recognizing
their valor and self-sacritce and the
fame that they had brought to Wyo-
ming manhood. he determined that
the state should show its appreciation
oftheir services by transporting them
free Of charge from San Francisco,
where they were mustered out, to
their respective homes, thus enabling
them to save their travel pay and
mileage and arrive among their loved
ones not entirely destitute. Through
the efforts of the governor and other
gentlemen, a large number of patri-
otto citizens. irrespective OF party,
signed notes which procured the re-
quired funds, trusting to the generos-
ity of "A future legislature to reim-
burse them.

THOMPSON is FROTHY.

OF course General Thompson denies
that he said, The women's vote is the
easiest thing in the world to get, n
the easiest thing to keep and the east
est thing to manipulate Of any ele-
ment in politics." He jumps upon the
proposition and calls it an infamous lie.
This was anticipated. He is full OF all
sorts of venemous adjectives and de-
lights in firing them off whether the
occasion demands it or not
When the general made the state
ments attributed to him, it is not prob
able that he thought they would come
home to roost Having had a leading
hand in manipulating h vote OF wy
oming, in an unguarded m ne
could not help boasting of the way the
thing was DONE, and no doubt attribut-
ed a large share of the democratic sue
cess to the fact (as he believed) that
the women of Wyoming were easy
The authority upon which the re-
publicans OF Wyoming have published
the statements in relation to this mat
ter is a pamphlet published by the Al
bany Anti-Suffrage association in 1895.
In reference to Wyoming the pamph-
let says:
"In 1890 Wyoming elected a repub-
iiean governor by a majority Of LIS,
in = total vote Of 16,o32, and chose a
LEGISLATURE which contained thirty-sev-
en- republicans and ten democrats.
The result Of the election November,
1892, was the choice Of a legislature
democratic by twenty-five to twenty
four, q democratic governor by a ma
iority Of 1871, and a democratic on
srsssman by a majority Of 461, while
there was a plurality Of e53 for the
Harrison electors. These changes
were aetuaIIy brought about by the
votss Of the women; and General
Thompson, viii managed the demo-
cratic campaign in Wyoming, reported
aStsrward, that 1.-THE WoMEN'S
VOTE Is THE EASIEST THING IN
THE WORLD TO GET, AND THE
EASIEST THING TO KEEP, AND
the EASIEST THING TO MANIPU-
LATE, or ANY ELEMENT IN POLL
TIce."
, 1900-10-16

General Thompson is Of course anN-
ious to receive the votes OF the ono
of Wyoming and brands the statement
of this publication at Albany, New
York, as an infamous lie. Is it reason
able to suppose that the ladies of Al
bany would misquote General Thomp-
son? They would have no object in
doing so. The republicans of Wyo-
ming have no desire to place him in
any other than the true light. His
remarks as quoted by the Albany Anti
Suffrage association were taken to be
his sentiments and have therefore been
published, in order that his true posi-
ton may be made known to all the
people.

WYOMING FOR PROTECTION.

There is not an industry in the
state of Wyoming that is not affected
by the protective tariff. Wool has
been trebled in price. sheep have in
creased in value more than 100 per
cent. cattle are 10 per cen higher and
horses have come into the market at
reasonable prices. Tn" increased
railroad property brought about
through the movement Of western pro
ducts has caused an immense increase
in the mining of coal and allied indus
tries. Prosperity among the ranch
men OF Carbon county gave them mon
cy to develop mines and thousands of
men are now engaged in this industry.
Many paying propositions are now
either shipping or being rapidly dev"l-
opcd Farmers have been abb" to OBJ
tain a largely increased pric" for their
wheat, oats and other small grain, now
grown successfully in the state and
their garden truck has returned hand
some profits.
The Dingiry hill is directly tn" cause
of "A large moasuI" Of the prosperity
we are now enjoying. 1t gave the To-
cal manufacturer and farmer a chance
to compete with the poorly paid work
men of foreign countries and gave to
the workmcn of America tn" money
whorewith to buy Wyoming ranChmcn
and workers of all classes have had
the matter thoroughly demonstrated
Under tn" Mckinley hill "" had good
times. high prices and plenty of work
Under the Wilson bill "" had hard
times, panics. low prices and no work
Again. under the Dingley bill "" have
good times. high prices and more
work than workmen can be procured
to perform. There is no longer any
question about it. Protection is the
thing for America. and particularly
Wyoming.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the CIV
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious,
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi.
gested food, regulate the nervous and
organic action of the system. and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches. You only need a few doses of
Green's August Flower. in liquid form,
to make you satisfied there is nothing
the matter with you. For sale

Uncle SANS Request.

One of the best examples of the
pluck and perseverance of the admin
istration is revealed in the story Of
the manner in which the governor Sc
rNrcd from the United States govern
mcnt the last remnant of back pay
that was due each volunteer. Under
the laws Of this and other states, a
militia man is entitled to 81 per day
if called out in the service of the
state. The majority of the Wyoming
volunteers were members Of the va
rious militia companies and were en-
titled to pay as per the state sched-
ule from the time of their enrolment
for service to the time that they were
mustered into the service Of the
United States. This money, averag-
ing $l5 per man. aggregated over
$4,000. The governor had lists made
out and presented their claims to the
Washington authorities, only to be
turned down" by the auditor Of the
treasury for the war department. A
less determined man would probably
but with the governor it was differ
ent. He promptly appealed from the
decision of the auditor to the comp
troller of the currency. and the latter,
after a lengthy consideration of the
case, decided that the Wyoming K
utive was right and forwarded a check
for something over IS, 1000. So far, sc
good. but the next problem was to find
the men in order to pay them, as they
were scattered over the country after
the muster out. Nevertheless. in two
months, two thirds of the men have
been located and vouchers sent to
them, while nearly that number have
been paid by checks.
These are but a few of the triumphs
of DeForest Richards. Under his ad-
m%inistration, it may be added, the
state has acquired a prestige never
heretofore possessed. Wyoming bonds
even Az per cent school issues-are
eagerly taken up at par, while those of
Colorado are peddled around and dis
posed of at a discount. Wyoming war
rants go as cash, while Colorado ones
are as discredited as trade dollars.
Governor Richards has the conf
dence of not only his party but the
people of his state and under his eco
nomical and able administration Wy
oming has gained the confidence Of
the country.

large mercantile institutions it was but
natural that he should recognize in
the state a gigantic Corporation-an
institution to be run on a strictly bust
ness basis. In taking the Office of
chief executive. his n aim was to
demonstrate that the prevalent opin-
ion, that in all its transactions the
state must get the worst of it, was
an absolute fallacy. He determined
that rigid economy should be practiced
not. however. to the extent of Grip
| ping the @ hicicnCy OF any of the
states officials or institutions, and
from the start maintained a careful
supervision OF the commemorative
affairs.
While new in the harness, he was
very largely responsible for some of
the most important Legislation Of the
session of 1899.
Stockmen Protected.
The law creating the state board
of sheep commissioners. which put an
end to the trailing of sheep through
Wyoming by the eastern commission
men has since proved the wisdom of
it's passage. Under its provisions the
Omaha firms We're debarred from en-
tering Wyoming from neighboring
states, paying no taxes and leaving
behind a country utterly devastated.
1t is estimated that this law has pre-.
vented the trailing of 10000 0 head
of sheep through this state during the
past two years and has protected ev.
cry stockman within its jurisdiction
by keeping Wyoming for Wyoming
citizens" and prohibiting the Omaha
trail pirates" from eating out of
house and home every ranchman IN
their line of march.
OF the Anxious Seat.
Various other bills of similar i'm
portance. viz: the bin making com
p~ulsory on the part of the state and
county officials the procuring of sure
ty company guarantee bonds, thereby
relieving private citizens and eligible
bondsmen of the anxiety that the old
system of necessity afforded; the
game law and many others owe their
existence to his hearty encourage
ment. His services during the legis-
~lature, while important, were but the
beginning of his usefulness. Immedi-
ately after the final adjournment of
the legislature and the moving of it's
logical aftermath, the Governor pro-
ceeded to put the state on what has
already been styled a strictly busi-
ness basis.
Hospital Made to Pay.
He first directed his attention to
he Wyoming general hospital at Rock
Springs. This institution while main
tanning a high standing, had not been
a financial success. The state board
of charities and reform, the governor
presiding. decided hat the institution
must become self-supporting and that
the customary deficit of from $1,000
to $1,000 must not again occur. In
v~estigation proved that the Union Pa
ciic railroad, the chief patron Of the
hospital, was paying far too low for
the inmates placed there at its ex-
pense. The governor made a trip to
Omaha and had a personal interview
with President Burt and as a result
the railroad, which sometimes sends
as many as 200 cases per month to
the hospital, agreed to pay 40 per
cent more for its patients than it had
under the old contract. The nstitu-
ton was soon placed on a s~elf.support- |
ing basis and has, perhaps, earned u
slight income over expenses during
the current year.
