UPPER GILA VALLEY
Lively Political Meetings and Open
 ing of the Social Season.

Safford, Ariz., Oct. 20.-CSpecial Cor reSpondence of The RepubucanD-Thi week Gov. \. O. Murphy made can vass of this county. He first entered at Morenct. where he was m t by a large crowd Then ke went u Stafford. Sol omonville and Pima, speaking in the evenings. At Thatcher he spent part of an afternoon. The Mormon acad my adjourned school and the governor held forth there. Large crowds assembled to show him courtesy. Our people are broad and liberal and know how to give strangers a welcome, SO one can easily imagine the reception they would tender the governor of the territory. The governor, in a plain. fIrcible man her stated his position on the differ ert questions Of the day and answered the arguments of the opposition. He studi0usly avoided any personalities or abusive epithets. H. chen referred to his own personal career and replied to the unjust attacks made upon him. L5 the several places after the ralli were over big dances occurred. Of course the governor, h5avJ.ve.ght as h lS, eNjbNS d " iltI b- IdliLl-IS Just so much as a lighter man.
 While here he was taken to the great artesian VII district by Dc. and Mrs. Lindlay and W. c. and Mrs. Scott. He WIS much impressed by the ma agnifcence Of those big wells and by the gr-at possibilities m store for the upper Gila valley.
 Last night the democrats had a jul bilee, the county candidates being the speakers of .the evening. Thy are fluent takers and were met by a great crowd in the town hall A big dance followed.
 The social season was formally op5 ned last week by the "court dance at Solomonville. This Is given annu- ally to the jurists. lawyers and judges by -lc people of So'omar.iH7. and it marks the winter advent of tsrpsicho- rianism in the valley. Slfiorl and Pima soon followed th= example and now the light fantastic is all the rage. Stafford has indulged in four within the week and she is not ahead of her sis ter towns either. x. C.

DREDGE STILL AT FALLS
High Water Washed Away Part of
 the Lcck.

The dredge in the Arizona canal is still above the falls and is likely to re- main there for some time. When work was commenced two weeks ago on the building of a lock to enable the float ing Of the dredge over the big falls, rains in the north caused such a rise in the river that it was deemed advis- able to cease operations on the lock and uurn in the water. Nearly half the lock had been completed when the heavy flow of water washed away the stTuc- ture. It is not very likely that work will be recommended for several weeks.
 A gang of men has been at work for several days repairing and raising the dam at the joint head. Joseph Grier. who was for some tim the zanjero of the Salt River Valley canal has taken his old position. until lately filled by Richard George, and will take charga of the canal .oday.

 But theshepherd maiden was enc611t- cred with the promise of vast wealth and stately position. If she would con- sent to turn from her ignoble shepherd boy she should be installed queen of the magnificent royal palace the fame of which had reached the ends of the earth.

THAT MINING PROCLAMATION
Approved by a Well Known Mining
 Man.

To the Editor of The RsDublican- Sir: have read in your paper that the opponents Of Governor Murphy. who is running for congress in your territory. lay great stress upon the mining proclamation which the gov ernor issued last fall; in fact, that seems to be their main issue against him.
 As I understand it, that proclamation was issued in answer to many inquir- ies made to the governor by people more or less interested who lived out of the territory, and was intended as a general answer to these inquiries. am convinced that no animus exiz1ed on the governors part. He has, or ought to have the interest of the ter ritory at heart Is much as anyone.
 For over three years I lived in Ariz- ona. engaged in mining, and repre- sented some people on the outside who desired to have properties examined, and in that time I became convinced of the wonderful possibilities of your ter ritory as copper, gold and silver pro ducing country.
 Every legitimate mining proposition that has been presented from Arizona has received very careful considera- ton at the hands Of investors here. and that should be the case when it has been demOnstra ed that under good honest management such mines as the United Verde, Congress, Copper Queen and others equally noted, are a great source of profit to their owners; and there are very many good prospects that, with judicious expenditure of money, can be made good, substan- '.ial, paying mines.
 I have b-en east about eighteen months and in that time have seen some properties presented from Ariz- ona that certainly deserved very se- were denunciation, and 1 am sure that anyone who does denounce them de- serves the thanks of the honest miner.
 In speaking with invls stOrs here I find that Gov. Murphy's stand has been generally approved. and l believe he ought to receive the thanks of every sincere and industrious miner in Ariz- ona. In fact his proclamation is a pro- tec,ion leo outside investors against the fakir or fraudulent promoter.
 For over twenty years I have been a democrat and am one still. but this is not a question of politics-it is one of business and one that affects the very largest interest of the territory, name- ly, mining. Therefore in the cause of truth and in the name of fair play I ask you to print this letter in your val uable paper.

Th2 strike leaders this evening stated that no one would respond to the blowing of the whistle excepting the engine rs and the fire bosses.
 A prominent lccal oficia of the Union Coal company states that the company positively r-cuses to concade to any of the demands made by the Scranton convention. The company claims that their busy season has been ruined by the strike and they do not care when the strike is settled, feeling positive that th5y can hold out much longer than the striking Iainers. The company controls four large collieri=s in the ShamOkin region.

A SCARED PRINTER
Chased Into Town by a Vicious Jack
 Rabbit

Printers are usually a good natured class. but as a rule they are desper- ately wicked. Some of Jnem smoke and use slang and one or two in this city have been caught chewing tobacco. But as rule they are law-a5iding and exemplary in their habits and attend Sabbath school regularly.
 There has been so much talked about and printed about the open quail sea- son and the good duck hunting of late that yesterday morning three Phoenix printers fell from grace and went hunt ing. They only expected to get a few quail cr a few ducks. but had not gone far from town when a great big, angry looking jack rabbit jumped out of thicIet some distance ahead. The bravest of the three. who had read about Davy Crockett and Kit Carson, and Buffalo Bill alighted from the buggy and going on ahead took a shot at the rabbit. He broke a leg, but the fierce beast of the jungle could still make good progress and he darted straight toward the printer with the gun. This was so unexpected the printer became frightened and ran back toward the buggy. This scared the horse, which turned back toward the city and the whole expedition entered upon a lively race for the corporation limits.

CONTINGENT ORDERS
Business Prosperity Depends on Mc
 Kinley's Reelection.

The following clipping from St. Louis paper will be interesting to Phoe- nix readers. first because one of the parties to the incident. Mir R. J. Bris- zoe. is largely interested in Maricopa county property, and secondly because the incident itself is a verification by one who is known locally. of the busi- ness condition as it actually exists throughout the east and illustrates to some extent what is dependent upon the result of the election:
 Evidence that the business world re- gards the continuance of prosperity as contingent upon the reelection of Me Kinley is accommodating every day. This paper says:
 'R. J. BriscOe, general manager of the Desha Lumber company. with an office in the Security building. received an order a few days ago for 3,50O, ,OOO feet of cottonwood lumber to be delivered after and contingent upon the re-elec- ton of Mckinley.
 Tine order, said Mir Briscoe. is for $500 900 feet, board measure, of cotton wood lumber, ordinary mill run, at SIP per 1000 feet. f O. b. car on 12-cent rate. This means $15.60 per 1,000 feet on tracks al St. Louis.
 Tt comes from solid. conservative business man. and is not an attempt to boom Mckinley. but is a straishttor- ward. legitimate business proposition- The man who gave 1t believes that in the event of Bryan's election carriage makers would make less carriages, box makers less boxes. furniture manufac- turesrs less furniture. and so on, in all lines which use this lumber. He will not stock up unless he believes that the demand will cnntinue.-

As a rule the Indian makes an eNcellen. ball player. He is quick of body and wit. sure on his feet and wiry as a car. while he possesses that quality. the lack of which has caused the deca dence of the game among the whites. the ability to keep his temper and thus avoid the hoodlumism which has grown to be an apparently essential feature of the great American game.

Gradually. but surely. the American Indian is acquiring. or having thrust upon him the fads and furbelows of civilization The habits of the white man he has taken on. good, bad and indifferent assortment. from whisky, when he can go. it. to the raiment which replaced the adornments of Adam. lie has learned to talk English and swear in English. farm, in way, according to English ideas. dress in styles fostered by the sportive heir to Nictorias throne. and in fact about the only requirements that have not come 10 him have been the arts of prevaIira- ton and theft, heritaSes which have been handed down to him since the time which tradition reacheth not and before the days of Manito.
 But Poor Lo is not rapid enough for these modern times and if left to shift for himself, away from the sustaining hand of his pale-face brother. would soon fall far in the rear of the dizzy pace of this progressive age.
 Now he has taken up baseball. just when that ona-time greatest of Ameri- can sports is about to be laid on the shelf by its erstwhile admirers. At sev- eral places on the Gila river reserva- ton the Pimas and Maricopas have taken up baseball and the bucks are rapidly learning the game. At the Gi!a crossing first class team has been formed. a complete lot of paraphenalfa secured and the nine is in constant practice, preparing for winter games.

CONFLICTING OPINION
Mitchell's Remarks and the Attitude of Certain Operators Indicate That Strike Will Be Prolonged Though the Opinion Prevails Among the Miners That This Week Will End It.

Hazleton. Pa. Oct. 21.--Whcn Presi- dent Mitchell of the United Mine Work els was asked tonight b. a r pressnta- tive of the Associated Press whaI. he had to say in regard to the settlemsnt of the anthracite strike. he said: As there appears to be some disposition on the part of the public to place the re- spOnsibility of the Drolongation of the strike on the shoulders of the mine workers, speaking for them. I want 70 say that when th Scranton convention accepted the ten per cent advance in wages providing the operators abo.- ished the sliding scale. and guaranteed the payment of tn advance unti April l, the miners had met the opeI ators more than half way. They had shown cOnciliatury spirit. and ! know 10 good reason why the proposition should not have been accepted by the oQer- ators. As a consequence the responsi- bility for the continuation Of the strike rests wholly upon the failure of the Op- orators 10 treat the proposition of their employees considerably. The public should understand that unsatisfactory as is the proposition of tn operators who make the reduction in the price or powder a part of the advance Of ten per cent, that even thIs proposition has not been offered by d vs1y large nun- Der of the cCal producing companies in the anthracite region and until all the companies guarantee tAe payment If ten per cent advance above the rate of wages paid in September unil April l, according to the decision of the Scrau- ton convention. the miners are now powerless to act. l want to repeat again, there will be no partial section al excitement of ,l.i5 sJrike.'
