Encourage Capital.

Some of the democratic politicians and capital-haters of Yavapai county are very much disturbed by The Re publican's views of the campaign in that county. Judging from the article that appeared in the Prescott Courier yesterday D. J. Sullivan is to be con gra atulated. While Sullivan offers no evidence beyond his own statements, that his future prospects are promising, he is entitled to the benefit of the doubt If he has some ore to ship, II he has managed to get into partnership with the old veteran and successful prospeetor, Dennis May, he is certainly entitled to congratulations; Dennis probably knows whether congratula- tions are to be extended to him or not or will know in due time.
 Dennis May did discover the Congress and it is true he and his partners sold the prospect. through MT. F. M. Mur- phy, to Diamond Joe Reynolds for $50,- 900 or whereabouts. Everyone was sat isfied. The Congress turned out to be great mine, and-as MT. Sullivan says brought railroads, made bank presi- dents, helped establish creditable news papers, and assisted to some extent in electing creditable delegates to con- gress. and it is to be hoped that the good work will continue to go on. Den his May, according to MT. Sullivan, should be condemned for having as- sisted in bringing about these great and beneficial results. According to Sulli- van, if Dennis May had realized what was to follow his pioneering work, he would be entitled to severe censure. The Republican does not believe that Dennis Is kicking about freight rates. What Dennis wants, and what every prospector and miner in this territory wants, Is more railroads. and if the truth were known, 1t is dollars tc doughnuts that if Sullivan is interested in mines possessing merit under exist ing conditions, his mines would not be worth fifteen cents If it were not for railroad facilities, which he says Dem HIS Mdy IS III d uCSICS and it is more than likely that addi- tional railroad construction would ma terially enhance the value of the prop critics in which Sullivan claims an in- terest.
 Maybe he will be kind enough to let the public know where his mines are. located in order that it may com ment on the above suggestion. If this man Sullivan, who pitches into MT. Murphy and calls him an agitator. etc. etc, and then squeals because the at tention of the public is called to his Cup to the present time) utter worth lessness as a contributor of anything 1 helpful to the upbuilding of Arizona, IS permitted to hang on to Dennis, and the old prospector can pack the dead weight, there Is some chance of Sulll- vans pulling through, and he may yet have something to ship, may be of as- sistance in the development of numer- ous mines throughout the territory. possibly build railroads, become identi | fled with banks, etc, etc. While 1t IS not at all necessary that a man should opinion is entitled to consideration, t does not follow by any means that a successful man should be subjected to the constant attacks and abuse of those who have been less fortunate.
 To be successful in opening and de- veloping mines in Arizona, building railroads and establishing banks, will hardly be looked upon as a crime by those having the best interests of Ari- zona at heart. It is unfortunate that some of the democratic politicians op- erating in the territory this year (and who receive contributions from such men as Sullivan) are making their campaign almost exclusively by in- dulging in misrepresentations-c ing that capital and those who repre- sent 1t should be looked upon as ene- mics to the miner and prospector. It happens, however, that a very large are equally interested with the repub- licans in the upbuilding of the territory. development of our mines, etc. etc, and are not being fooled in the least by such nonsensical talk. They know that Arizona must have capital to develop its vast natural resources, mineral and agricultural as we'll and that if the de- velopment stops, the interests of every | citizen and propertv holder in the fer ritory would be dlsastrously affected A vote for the republican delegate to congress this fall and the success Of the republican ticket generally through out the territory is a vote in the inter
