The present board of supervisors have

The present board of supervisors have neglected to publish the financial state- ment of the county, as required by law, and by such neglect have laid them selves liable to fine of $500. Section II of the revised statutes says: 'The clerk of the board of Supervisors shallS on the last business day of each year file with the chairman of the board statement showing in detail each al- lowance made by the board of supervi! sors during that year. Such statement shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county and shall also be entered on the minutes of the board at their annual January meeting" Now we do not charge that that this matter was willfully neglect ed, but was doubtless an oversight. As the law regarding this publication is mandatory, it might be well for the board to observe it in the future.

T1A mons, who resides cOntinu- ously in Yuma, is always here to at tend to his duties, spends his money in Yuma and has the interests of Yuma and Yuma county at heart.-Sun. Judging from MT. Timmons' little ''college oration;' the other evening the thing nearest to his heart is the election of MT. TfmmOns. Now, as to Presiding continuously, MT. Timmons first stepped his foot into the territory last April-less than seven months ago. His object in coming was to get office, or try it. Where did he come from? Who knows anything about the maae When defeated he will probably slide out for other political fields in the hopes of be-' ing more successful in his office seeking ventures. Pierce Evans has lived in Yuma county and Arizona fifteen or twenty years. Everybody knows him.. he is all rig ht, and will be elected

The Papago Copper Company.

The property of the Papago Copper company, located in the southeastern part of Yuma county and known as the Legal Tender and Hovey lodes, has been developed to sufficient extent to demonstrate that it is very valuable.
 Frank Guerra, formerly foreman of the King of Arizona, recently made an expert examination of this property and found the ledge to be forty feet across, all in pay ore. The average samples went from s139.7O to S362.So per ton in gold and silver. A large force of men will be put on this winter, and well will be dug to furnish an am pie supply of water to keey a number of miners steadily at work.
 The principal owners of this mine are G, Klecker, Will A. Harris, A. M. Rawson and J. B. Ashby.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Jack Stwart of the Nugget Saloon Comes Near Stopping
 Bullet,

Last Friday about noon a Mexican named Martin Cavern, considerably ''under the infuence,''= entered the Nugget saloon on Main street and after ordering drinks for two or three, ten dered five dollar gold piece to pay for them. The change was handed out when the Mexcan demanded five dollars more, claiming that he had put down 8 ten instead of 8 five dollar piece. Jack Stwart, the proprietor, who was behind the bar, disputed this, when, as the re- port goes, Cavern called him 8 vile name and received therefor vigorous slap in the face. The Mexican imme- diately pushed 38-calibre pistol into Stwart's face and fired, but fortunately for Jack 6 by-stander struck the Mexi- cans arm down and the leaden missile entered the bar near the floor and did no harm.
 It is said this is not the first tragic ep- isode in the checkered career of Jack Stwarts, who is an old '49er, in which luck was with him at the critical mo- ment.
 When the shot was fired Jack started for his gun and the Mexican for the door. Cavera was captured later by Despair in the brush of the Gila bot toms, was disarmed and taken to jail.

It is estimated that it takes twenty two acres of spruce land to furnish enough wood pulp paper to run large metropolitan daily just two days.

Mean time, the art of printing continues, because there are many truths the world should know; among others, that Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters is cure for diseases of the stomach, such as dyspep- sia, indigestion. constipation, bilious ness, insomnia and nervousness.

 Some of the possibilities in agricul- ture and fruit and nut growing are in evidence at Hotel Gandolfo that are really wonderful. They consist of stalks of corn twelve feet long with two or three perfect ears on each stalk: a grapevine showing growth of 35 feet this season, a branch from pecan tree with punches of we'll developed nuts; and 8 sample of cotton which is said to be fine one; also a fine looking pump kin big enough to make forty or fifty pies. The corn and pumpkin were grown on ''Dad" Jordan's ranch, and the other products on the farm of F. S. Ingalls,. Both of these ranches are in the valley west of town, where there are hundreds of other acres just as pro- ductive. Whats the matter with Ari- zona?

DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING.

The democratic candidates for county offices were on dress pa rade at Elks' hall last Saturday evening. There was a fair sized audience in attendance to take 6 look at them, and no doubt a large percentage was there es- pecially to see and hear the so- called "orator of Yuma county" MT. Tinnmons, the newcomer, who wants to be district attor- ney.
 The chairman of the meeting, Matt De Vane, presented the first speaker, MT. Ralph W. Jacobs, democratic candidate for probate judge. Mir. Jacobs was put first on the bill for the req son, perhaps that if he had wait ed until MT. Timmons spoke he would have forgotten what he was going to say. He nearly forgot his piece" as it was. Mir. Jacobs undoubtedly delivered one of the most remarkable and scholarly addresses of the cam paign. But he and the audience seemed to have a misunderstand- ing; when the speaker had made an unusually good point, as he thought, and had quieted down and braced himself to receive ap- plause, his hearers only heaved a sigh of relief, thinking evident | ly that he was through; but he wasn't. MT. Jacobs might have done better if the audience had cheered him up just a little, but it didn't seem to know this; it was discouraging to Mir. Jacobs, but he kept on. He said he wouldn't approach" on MT. Timmons' time. but he did, sadly. The gist of his talk was, that he was opposed to trusts, "millta- rianism, etc., and in favor of '16-to-won, fiatmoney and cheap coal oil. MT. Jacobs seems very sincere about these matters, and we really think he believes what he says.
 When the silence which follow ed MT. Jacobs speech had some what abated Chairman De Vane ! in a few well-chosen words pre- sented to the audience "the ora tor of Yuma county" the "next district attorney" MT. Timmons. And then MT. Timmons began to spread himself. It was 8 re- lief after listening to the preced- ling gloom producer, evenif he did delve into ancient history almost back to Adam. Mir. Timmons said he believed in expansion, gloried iu deeds of heroism, and was proud of the nations won derful achievements, and did uot,
 like many of his fellow demo-
 crats, decry the administrations policy>toward the Filipinos-ex- cept that he didn't like the idea
 of their being governed by a
 king. We leave this to the read. CTS and those who heard Mir.
 Timmons tofconstrue the remark as they choose. MT. T.'s flights , of oratory bore the ear-marks o1 high-school graduate emanations though the closing was more
 practical and to the point. Ii
 was something like this : "Vote for me, please"

No Fire Protection, No Insurance.

That seems to be the conclusion ar rived at by the Phoenix Insurance Co. of Hartford. This water question is becoming a serious problem with Yuma property owners. Insurance companies can not be expected to take heavy risks where there is practically no fire protec- tion, and if the fire company cannot get plenty of water and sufficient pressure, they are helpless when a fire breaks out. The following telegram is self explanatory: ~e
 John Gandolfo,
 Yuma, A. T.
 Companies here refuse to write pro- posed new insurance on your hotel building; better offer to other Yuma agents whose companies would hesitate to refuse them.
 kF .e.,..-- HERBERT FoLGER,
 Agent Phoenix Insurance Company
 The fsctthat we have not adequate fire protection has been amply demon strated. With the past two years prop erty to thevalue of thousands of dollars has been destroyed six persons have lost their lives because there was not sufficient water to fight fire with At the last fire in July, which destroy ed nearly a block of buildings, there was not drop of water, and there was heavy loss.
 Insurance companies doing business in Yuma have raised their rates 50 pei cent.
 The Insurance companies were ou several thousand dollars, as we'll a those who lost property. The onl. wonder is that any kind of insurance will be written by any company, Ol Yuma property.
 It has reached a point where it should be demanded of the water. compan, that it either proceed at once to furnisl an ample supply of water or relinquisl it's charter
