 He will remain here probably til after the holidays and may be joined here by his family.

MORE THAN A MILLION
J. J. Fraser Left for New York Yes
 terday to Sell an Alaska Mine.

Another Arizona man has got rich with some suddenness. He is J. /. Fraser of Pinal county, . brother-in- law of Supervisor J. A. Marshall. He left last night for New York to close q deal by which q mine m which he is interested will be sold for s1. .200.O0
 The property lies on Copper river. Alas ska, about 175 miles from Sitka The proposed purchaser is probably the Standard Oil company. though other parties have been negotiating for the property for some time. About three years ago MT. Fraser and Sheriff W. C. Truman of, Pima lcounty staked Jack Smi.h. who had been in the employ of Mir. Fraser as a cowboy for several years. for an exploration trip to Alaska. The object of the enterprise was gold. and that was what Smith was hunting for when he found copper in g. larger quantity than he had dreamed existed. He was eating his dinner on Copper river one day and after satisfying his appetite began looking around him carelessly. His at tention was attracted by a small piece of rock and he picked tt up and exam ined it closely.
 Then he looked to see where it came from. He could never fix it's precise origin. It might have come from every where in that vicinity. The whole country was just like it. Mr. Smith got excited and located claims along Copper river for five miles. He couli not make all those locations himself. he took in eight other men. and wrote to MT. Fraser that he had the biggest thing on earth. Last spring MT. Erase. went to see about it. He made due al- lowance for MT. Smiths excitability and in consequence he prepared himself for a great and pleasant surprise. On his return a couple of months ago he
Arizona republican., 1901-12-13

said he did not believe there was an other such a volume of copper any where else. Nor was it low grade ore. A great deal of it had been assayed and showed a value of $S5 to the ton
 The property was put on the marke. and for several days Mir. Fraser has been in telegraphic correspondence with prospective purchasers The $l.- 200, 900 offer came three days ago when MT. Fraser was in rhoenix, but it w;Is not then definite enough to call him to New York and he said he would feel surer of the money when he had hi; share of it in his pocket.
 Day before yesterday he received q telegram urging him to come on slr once and close the deal. He came across the country and arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and fast night left by the southern route for the east.

A Fine Old Government Clock.

1t is fine old clock which stands in
the senate lobby fronting the main en-.
trance to the senate chamber. For al
most a century it has been ticking
away, night and day, and now it is as
good as ever.
The old clock is about eight feet high,
and its frame is solid mahogany. Its
face is about a foot and half in diam
eter, and the name of Thomas Voight.
Philadelphia, shows by whom and
where it was made. 1t used to stand in
the old senate chamber, now the su-
preme court room, where Webster and
Clay and Benton and all the famous
men of the past debated great uues-
lions. If the clock could only talk, it
could tell many tales of dramatic inter-
est.
Upon the mahogany case is carved a
large shield, with stars to represent the
states. When the clock was built. there
were only II states in the Union
Washington Post.

SCARED OLA NAME

lncOnnectiOn with the Presidents
,.Iunketing tour there is a, story
which is furnishing considerable
amusement for the Democrats at
Washington. A correspondent at the
National Capitol gives this graphic
recital of the facts and the conse-
squesnces:
'The guilty flee where no man
pursueth, and the managers of the
administration junket across the con-
,tinent have been thrown into panic
by the discovery that the magnificent
private parlor car in which the Pres
ident was to travel was named the
- Imeprial," the name standing out
boldly on its side. When this was
found out, there was a tremendous
furry until another car could be
substituted. The incident is the
<source of much amusement to rail-
road officials and others, and is being
told with relish. AS the result of the.
nice discrimination of the committee
as to names the President will ride
ia the richly finished private car
oOlympia. The Imperialandthe Olym-
,pia are the two most sumptuous and
Luxurious private cars built by the
Pullman Company. In splendid ap-
gpointments, in equipment and COM
fort there is no choice beween the
ztwo."
The President certainly must feel
the force Of the Democratic argu-
zment on Imperialism in the last cam
paign when he refuses to ride In a
car bearing name so suggestive OF
Hais policy. Well, it is time he began
- look ct these things squarely, for

The Sword.

There is only one sword factory IN
the United States, a Massachusetts
concern. and that one has ample capac-
ity for supplying. the domestic demand
for swords. The saber lost its efficiency
as a cavalry weapon as far back as the

range of rifles has made the sword
equally obsolete as an implement of

Writing the TALLAHASSEEAN last
week over the nome de plum &C." on
the subject of State life insurance,
an esteemed correspondent declared
that hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars would be saved to the tax pay
ers by the establishment of a life in
surance department. The typo left
out the words ''Of thousands" max
ing his article read that Hundreds
OF dollars would be saved" etc. We
adopt this method, therefore of call
ing attention to the omission and adj
ding that the subject of State life in
surance is one which this paper has
advocated for many years. In time
the State would control the business
within its borders, for no one would
rather risk corporation they knew
nothing about than the State, and
the bulk of taxation could be raised
in that way thereby almost relieving
that large class of citizens
who are too poor to carry insurance
and hence too poor to pay taxes.

Hanna will not be able to hoodwink
call the people, all the time"

While Southern men appreciate
President McKinley's selection of
Palmer and Buckner followers
rather than disreputable negroes for
high Office in certain Southern
States, they realize fully that the
appointments are made chiefly in the
hope of splitting the Democracy. open
and organizing a white mans Repub-
lican party in this section, and in
the hope of ultimately carrying come
Southern States. Unfortunately for
the President, a decent Republican
annex in the South will not be made
the easier by associating a change of
political allegiance with a cash con-
sideration in the shape of official sal
airy. A respectable white Republican
party in the South must be based on
convictions, not on bribery. With
the bride openly displayed, it will be
useless for the bribee to talk about
the workings of his conscience. The
venal may be attracted by the spoils,
but their very Venality will be a
warning, and men who have respect
for themselves, and therefore infu-
ence with the people, will be slow to
ipcur the suspicion Of improper mo-
tiVes by joining the organization.
The South may some day be split by
the wedges of office, but it is thought
more than likely that several wedges
will be crushed in the crack before
anything much is accomplished.
