"The managers of the Graham County fair awarded to the Bulletin the first prize as testimony that it was the best newspaper published in Graham county. This was very pleas ing to the owners of this paper, as it is judgment coming from men who could not be suspected of unfairness or prejudice in our favor. The Hres- ent owners of the Bulletin have ever had for their chief and paramount motive the upbuilding of Graham county and every industrial interest in it. The mining indus; ", the ca tile industry and the agricultural industry have all stood in equal favor with this paper. We have never put dollar in our till for the exploitation of bO- gus enterprises or for the boosting of any unworthy cause"
 The above is an editorial published in the Bulletin of October 17th.
 The whole article is pure fabrica- tion of the most rank and dishonest kind. There is not shadow of truth in the statement. Not one of the managers of the fair ever thought of awarding prize of any kind to the Bulletin or any other business house. The editor of the Bulletin was well aware that he was publishing an un- fair and an untrue statement, for on the second page of the same issue he publishes full list of all prizes given and the Guardian published the same list the week previous and the Bulle- tin was not mentioned in either list. But we do not call MT. Kelly down alone on these published lists but on the word of the managers of the fair. What is the reason that a paper

As announced in these columns sev- eral days ago, the Copper Queen peo- pie of Bisbee are pushing construc- tion work on their road. Contractor Buchanan has sent hurry up mes sage to Messrs.

Buch- mans contract calls for the construc- tion of the line g miles east of Bis bee to Separ on the Southern Pacific, and while the contractors themselves believe the road is coming to Fl Paso, they do not know any more than what their contract specifies.-El Paso Times.

The price of silver has been rising steadily for some time past and is now abont 65 cents in New York, the high est point it has touched since Febru- ary 1897. The advance has been about 4 cents an ounce since the opening of the year. It does not appear to be in any way a speculative movement, but is rather the result of a steady demand for the metal.

NEW GOLD FIELDS.
The Usual Fabulous Stories of Rich Strikes Coming in From the
 Northwest.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2.-Since the abatement of the Klondike excite ment prospectors have been going about their work in a methodical way, and as result new fields are being opened up almost daily in some part of the vast Alaskan gold fields. As in the case of Colorado and California, the latter finds are proving quite as remunerative as those which caused so much excitement. The fact that both the Canadian and the United States governments are taking an ac- tive part in aiding the miners, and are gathering authentic reports as to the output, has tended to give all more confidence in the reports that come from the yellow metal country.
 The steamer Amur, which arrived yesterday, brought news of several valuable new placer strikes on Chan dler river, which enters the Yukon fifty miles below Circle City. United States Consul McCook, of Dawson, who is on his way to his former home in Pennsylvania, says that the discov- cry was made by some men who had severeal horses and were engaged in transporting goods into the Koyukuk country.
 The trail was very bad, and they de- cided to wait till win CT to continue their work. In the meantime they decided to prospect the river. The first discovery was made about 10' miles from the mouth of the river.
 In this part of the rivers course it receives several tributaries, all Of which were prospected, and in every case the results were most favorable. They took out a large quantity of placer gold before the news of the find reached the Yukon, and when Consul McCook left that region large numbers were going down to the new fields in boats and scows, which were provisioned for the winter.
 The consul expressed the opinion that this find would result in opening up another large field in American territory.

WILL THEY MOVE TO FL PASOa
The Report About The Bisbee Smell
 ters.

hC I doO SdJC' IL OS'CA oped yesterday morning that another big smelter plant is soon to be added to the many new enterprises of this city when the Phelps Dodge road builds into Fl Paso next spring from the point they are building to Lords burg, where a junction is to be formed, and the line extended from there to this city.
 1t was no surprise to some mining men yesterday when they learned that the reason the company was con centrating its transportation facili- ties so as to get to point where they can erect plant large enough to re- duce their ores, when the matter of fuel and labor will greatly lessen the cost.
 great copper mines at Nacossari, and at Bisbee, Globe and Morenci, Ari- zona. They are building from the junction of their Nacossari-Bisbee to Lordsburg, N. M., where they will form junction with their road from Morenci and connect, via short link of the Southern Pacific, at Lordsburg, N. M., from where the company's line will build direct into Fl Paso. The smelting of ores will be discontinued af he n ha and concentrates shipped to Fl Paso for treatment here, where very ex- tensive copper shelter will be built. The only ores treated at the mines will be those of low grade which will be treated through teaching and con- centrating. The company will also erect here converter in which the matte from the smelter and teachers will be refined. It is said that the company finds that by concentrating it's smelting interests in Fl Paso where the cost of labor, fuel, and the ability to enter actively into the market for the copper ores of the southwest, will pay for its railroads and smelting plant in three years, after which enor- nous profits will accrue from both the railways as well as maintain its inter- ests absolutely independent of the present railway companies and the shelter trust.
 The various agents for the Phelps Dodge people in this city are kept hustling getting things in shape for coming events and numerous of the city's real estate agents are buying up the ground wanted for the right of way yards, shelter site, etc. The railroad building in which to connect this city with all the mines is to reach here by next March.
 All the facts here stated have been confirmed during the past two days both from Arizona points and agents of the company, and there is great rejoicing among the mining men here, who believe that the competition for ores in this part of the southwest will bring about new era for the mine owners.

THE ONE MEDICINE

in the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afHict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ OF
the body. Any congestion of mucous
membrane simply means catarrh Of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts of troubles where other
remedies fail If there is a catarrhal

And schaefsr Settled.

Wizard Jake Schaefer, the expert BIZ
Iiardist, is known as one of the greatest
ioilers in the business. Some time ago
Mr. Schaefer was lounging in an up
town billiard room. Business was dull,
but a pompous chap came in and asked
the proprietor to set some one who
was pretty good" to play with him
for an hour or two. The wink was
tipped" to the wizard" and he was
introduced, but purposely his name
was mumbied so that the gentleman
did not catch it. EIr. Schaefer and his
new acquaintance commenced play,
the latter graciously allowing the ex-
pert to choose the game. Jake" won
every game by a few points. The style
of billiards was changed, but at
straight rail, cushion caroms or balk-
line the wizard" invariably finished in
the lead. Realizing that he had met
pretty good player the gentleman
asked:
Beg pardon, but did not under
stand your name" It's Schaefer," an
swered the wizard" The other
laughed We'll, that's a good one;
mine is Ives-Frank c.. Ives" They
kept on playing and the bar bill grew
to goodly proportions. Then the pom
pous chap said he would play one more
game and then quit. But before be-
ginning tie last game he excused him
self for a moment, and as no particular
attention was paid to his movements,
the roomkeepr still has The bill on his
slate as a reminder of the little joke"

CHAPTER Xxx.

What does this picture convey to the
mind Of even the most 0btuse in such
matters? The scene before us represents
a dull December afternoon, a leaden gray
sky, brown hedges, bare trees and damp
country lane. The only bit of color in
the landscape is The scarlet coat of the
young gentleman who. in splashy top
boots and feathers, is standing at the side
of the road with his horses bride over

Bryan and Stevenson Officially In
formed OF Their Nominations.
At Military Park in Indianapolis We'd
nesday afternoon William j. Bryan was
notified that for the second time he had
been chosen Democracy's candidate for
President And, for the second time in
his life, Adlai E. Stevenson learned Of
ficially that his party had chosen him as
it's candidate for the second highest office
within the gift of the people.
The crowd at the park was so dense
that it was tedious progress for the pro-
lession that escorted the nominees. Along
the line of march the throng surged for
ward and backward as they cheered for
Bryan and Stevenson. Various estimates
make the number of visitors in the city
10000 to 10000. In addition to these
strangers all indianapolis seemed to be on
foot.
1t was a sweltering but good-natured
crowd. Clouds that obscured the sun
early in the day were scattered by noon
md the sun beat pitilessly upon the hosts.
The thermometer registered over 80 de-
grees in the shade and in the sun, where
the majority of sight-seers stood for
hours, the temperature was over 100.
Military park was gay with flags and
streamers; the walls of the Grand hotel,
from where the parade started, were al
most hidden by bunting and nearly every
building along the line of march was dec
grated.
With the days exercises the campaign
of 1900 may he said to have opened. The
addresses of Col. BRYAN and Mr.. Steven
