WILLIAM M'DURMoT DEAD.
Was One of the Best,Known Railroad
 Men in the State.

New Decatur, October 24-(SpeciaI) J. William McDurmot, aged IS years, died yesterday at his home in South Decatur after an illness of a few days. Death was due mainly to old age.
 For many years he was baggage mas ter for the Louisville and Nashville and Memphis and Charleston railroads in De- catur. During the yellow fever epidemics in Decatur in 1878 and again in 1898 he acted as nurse and rendered valuable service to the afflicted, but strange to say he never had the dreaded disease himself. He was one of the oldest eiti- zens of the Decaturs. He leaves a wife and large family of children, all grown. Several of his sons are prominent rail- road men at this place.

Admiral cervera's Quiet Life.

The Madrid correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt contradicts the story of the poverty of Admiral Cervera and his ne- glect by Spain. According to the writer the admiral Is living in Puerto Real, an ancient town near Cadiz, whefe he is '1oved and respected by all" He often goes over to the arsenal at San Fernan- do near by, where he has many friends, and also to Cadiz. to spend the day at the headquarters of the captain general. His relations with those politicians still at the helm, who imposed on him the im- possible task to break out of Santiago, are naturally rather cool. but he re- ceives regularly his vice admiral's half pay, which. with his own private means, is sufficient for his necessities.

EXCITEMENT DIED OUT.
Montgomerians Think Dexter Avenue
 Wide Enough for Three Tracks.

Montgomery, October 24. - Especially - The excitement over the third street car track on Dexter avenue, the great show avenue of the town, seems to have been somewhat artificial, and died out as sud- denly as it sprung up.
 The citizens have rather concluded that the avenue is quite wide enough for three tracks, and some of them say that if anybody else with money to spend will come, the right to lay the fourth track may be had for the asking. The expected injunction failed to materialize. The old company, however, states plain ly that when the time comes for track crossing there will be injunctions and to spare.

At Fools G ulch.

One of the gigantic mlnlng under takings at present in evidence in this section is that attending the oper- ations on the Planets Saturn claims in Fools gulch. Under the superin- tendency of w. A. Clark, a gigantic test run of 1000 tons of ore is now in progress. and it will take until about the first of the year to complete it. The sample run now being made is for the purpose of giving this mine a thorough and practical test of its wealth pending its sale to an eastern syndicate. No particular place in this. property Is furnishing the ore and no special asserting of the same is permitted. If the sample run is favorable one in value, it means the outlaying of a vast sum of money not only in that section but elsewhere near Prescott. The new company which is behind this Fools gulch project, have also lately bonded the Yarnell, the Herndon x Norris and other claims. some twenty-five in all, and in their scope all the available mining ground between Yarnell and Fools gulch is taken. The same company is also operating in the Bradshaws on an extensive scale. Having d better practical knowledge of the mine than any other person probably, although in no way inter- ested, Mir. Clark is personally super intending present operations going on on the property. He Is a thorough and capable mining man and recog- nized as such. It is hoped that the testing of these mines value will prove to be what Is generally ex- pected.

MINES AND MINING.
WORK AGAIN COMMENCED ON THE NEW YEAR, A PROMISING
 CHAPARRAL MINE.---A VAST SAMPLiNG PROPOSITION AT FOOLS GULCH.---MERCHANTS' MINING COMPANY PROGRESS.
The First Home.

Arrivals from the Poland section today gave nothing but the usual good reports of the First Home mine of the Merchants Mining company. The work is progressing earnestly and satisfactorily and the showing continues as good as previously re- ported. The late strike has not as yet died out in mining circles, and seems to serve as an inducement for other claims near by to become ac- tive in operations and interested in regard. The work now going on in the First Home is m driving the 100- foot level from the south to the north shaft for the purpose of blocking ou the ore between them. While thist work is going on the 240 foot level is being driven north. 4 great deal of interest follows present operations on this property, the general opinion being that it Is destined to be not only heavy producer, but likewise one that will give it a high regard in value of output. Everything in and about the mine so far as management and ability go, continues i'll a most systematic and practical manner, and this fact alone impresses the miner and gives the mine more than the usual regard.

A FIERY AND INTEMPERATE
 DEMAGOGUE
THE BULLET MUST PRECEDE THE
 BALLOT IN POLITICAL MATTERS TO RIGHT AN EVIL TO lABoR'S CAUSE.
Jerome Last Night Swallows the Ssnti- ments of a 45-90 Argument
 of an Outsider.

\ NIT. Richardson, claiming to be d newspaper representative from Colorado, made a speech in the in terest of the democratic party at Je- -rome-4ast night, and said amongst other things that Roberts was clos eted with MT. Murphy all day Sun day, and that the latter proposed se- curing the formers election as sheriff as we'll as Clark for attorney. Mir. Murphy would then have Roberts ar rest the miner, Clark convict him, and the judge whom he controlled sentence him. Richardson further stated that there were two methods of settling the labor questiOn-On one by ballot and the other by rifles. He preferred the former method, for the reason that if the latter were used, the result would hardly be perman- ent or words to that effect.
 Has the democratic party in Yava- pal county designedly imported in our midst the argument of the Win chester. or do they propose to submit to a close formation Tn the line of right and justice the sentiment of a labor advocate that knows naught but demOcracy2
 Are there in Yavapai today none but democratic advocates of the noble cause of labor, and why should renegades attempt to drive capital and labor into conflict?
 What has Joe Roberts ever done or will do that makes him the bulls eye of this mans venom on labor, and E. ;. Clark, whose life morally and in dustrially is of the purest as me- chanical workman of the past, or why should man like Judge Sloan be placed in contempt before the peO- plel
 1t is true that the labOring man should speak out in the open and speak plainly too. and be barricaded behind the argument of dynamite, or any inceudiary explosive? It may do in Colorado where RichardsOn's logic rules and ruins, but it will not be sustained by even labor in Arizona.
 Has Gavapai degenerated when 1t will harOOr in approval the fiery pur poses of this imported man. or will it sanction in labor channels the widening of the breach between 1t and capital?
 Itis time that the labor people es- pecjallv came to the front to oppose the heiuOus principles of any man or any cause that would drive them away from their vacations to combat the cause of that which sustains them.
 Are the conditions of employment today in Yavapai s) estranged that the rifle must step between capital and labor and divide them, and why does the democratic party permit any man to so advocate such an unpa- triotic movement?
 Arizona has men with families to look after. and the imported harle- quiu with a glib tongue can go at random amt leave behind him only the vote he makes in a cause that will sooner or later rebound to his victims ruin. We don't want in Ya- vapai the agitator. We do want men of money. and with them we want good wages aud fair treatment. We are getting both today. No third part, need apply.
 We want the labor men of Navapai to tall in line with any sentiment political or moral that will give them the best the market affords.

The New Year.

It seems that where there is so much general activity and promin ence as is centered today in and around especially the Chaparal dis trict, there would hardly be enough mines 10 go around. In this old time favored and productive region, one by one of late have the many mines commenced to be opened up again, and the result is the same. As depth is reached and development generally is given, the showing Is invariably fattering. This is so on the Leland, The Dividend. the Palo Alto and others lying side by side, not to men, ton near by neighbors, like the Me Cabe, the Gladstone and other mines of unquestiOnable riches. It Is this spirit that has probably been behind the reorganization of the New Year mine and the determination to work it again in the future as it has never been before. Another feature of this last named property must be men toned the fact that IL Is close cor pCration and has none of those char acteristics to make 1t go by going on the market. This in itself gives it better rating and consideration than if 1t were IL shows that 1t Is certainly a favored claim so far as development indicates, and being so regarded must have more or less of d merit to warrant expenditure of large sums of money. The New Year claim is now assuming an interested rating in mining, and the beginning of operations again l. watched with a great deal of interest. Our reporter who lately passed along the zone 1t lays on, and watched the preparatory inauguration Oi work at that point, as well as ill other mines, and learned also that the famous Little Jessie was again to be operated on a gigan- tic scale, was impressed highly with the mining outlook of that particular section. The New Year Is decided ly good looking piece of ground, car rying sulphide ore that will run about SEQ in gold. It has a well de- fined Assure vein of three feet, with a shaft some three hundred feet deep, and with about 200 feet of drifting. Located as it is on the south side lines with the Jessie, there seems to be no reason why it too should not be as we'll regarded as its neighbor is. We hear that since the work on this mine is to be commenced again, a depth of 800 feet will be given and that at least 1000 feet of drifting will be done. It is the intention to do nothing but development work, and this gives it with the showing that it makes today, more than an ordinary regard in mining. The mine is un- der the superintendency of E. $. Campbell, whose capdbility in that respect is unquestioned. Mir Camp bell has devoted a great many years to his vocation here as elsewhere, and in inaugurdtiag work on the New Year seems to have a mechanical re- gard as well as a practical mining insight that leads oue to the belief that the new work will be followed with d good showing.

PRESCOTT BOYS
 FOR THE NAVY
THE NAVAL BOARD SECURES
 SOME EXCELLENT MATERIAL FROM THE ROUGH RIDER LAND
The Patriotic Work of This Com mission One That tine Future
 Will be Blessed With.

We are pleased to state that since the arrival iu Prescott of Lieutenant Morton, Surgeon Cure, Chief Yeoman Bringham and other officers of the navy they have met with good sue cess i'll the enlistment of boys for the navy. Up to noon today they have accepted six, whose names and ages appear below. They have also rejected over twenty more owing to physical disability. The boys who have been accepted and who leave to- morrow for San Francisco are:
 Jesse T. Vines, age 3.
 w. T. Harrison, age "A.
 Ernest l.. Jones, age 22.
 Robert Cornell, age 22.
 w. c. Bolin, age 26.'
 John B. Bryant, age 22.
 Three of the above are known as landsmen, that is they will be in- structed as seamen; two will be as- sighed as coal passers, or will receive instruction as machinists, while one will be a mess atteudent. Other ex- aminations are in progress today, and when the board leaves for PheniA to- morrow at least half a dozen more will have been enlisted. The exam nations cover the most exacting con ditions ph ysicaliy and none but the American is taken. Many humorous incidents take place in the above line, and if all were enlisted who ap- ply Surgeon Cure says the navy would be swamped in numbers. They are, however, making a pick of the young American, physically as well as intellectually, and the Prescott boys who are to Ea hereafter behind the guns" are to be congratulated in their patriotic wisdom.
 Outside of naval duties, this board is one of that characteristic makeup of the navy, viz, they are genial and free at all times, and though their lives are on the deep they are just as well at home on dry. land. They have been on the go since last March and will not complete their labors until January l. Every state west of Montana down to Arizona has been covered by them and they have en- listed over 500 recruits.
 Lieutenant Morton, who heads this commission, is one of the naval officers who distinguished himself in the war with Spain. He was on the Marblehead off the Cuban coast and performed a duty under fire in cut ting the cable that gave to him national regard and merited consid eratiOn in navy annals. He is also pleasant gentleman socially and in leaving Prescott carries away the deep regard of all. They have trav- eled up to date over l2,000 miles.
