People of Prominence Interested and Machinery and Railroad
 Material En Route.

Buffalo, N Y., Sept. 16.-[ Special to Arizona Journal Miner. l-James Shirley of the Copper River Mining company of Alaska has placed orders with the Garretson Furnace company of Buffalo for twelve furnaces, four of which are to be completed within eighteen months. Each furnace has capacity of six hundred tons per day and is estimated that the fur mace will produce one thousand tons of copper daily. Among the parties who are interested in the furnace company is Judge Reed of Pittsburg, attorney for Carnegie and a member ot the executive board of the steel trust and the president of hundred million dollar security company of Pittsburg and a former partner of Attorney General Knox, Another prominent man who has become asso- ciated with the company is Mir. Bag ley of the Westinghouse company. Sixty miles of steel rails is now en route for Valdez to be used in the construction of the Valdez, Copper River and Yukon railway. Work is being pushed vigorously and the Copper River Mining company will shortly enter the field as one of the leading producers of that metal.

NAVY MEN ON
 DRY LAND DUTY
Arrival in Prescott of an Examining Board for Enlistment
 Purposes.
A Branch of the American Fighting Service that is of the Highest
 in National Consideration.

For the first time in the history oi Prescott it is a pleasure for us today to chronicle the arrival of Lieutenant Morton and party of the navy. They came by railroad from Ash Fork and are here for the purpose of enlisting men and boys for that branch of the service, and will remain but three days. The arrival of this board is one of profound interest to us all, as this is the first time we believe a representative body of ''sea dogs" ever had the manhood to invade a country where the canteen has ruled for so long and so triumphantly. But the navy stops at nothing and if the personnel of this board is any cri- terion of the service they are identi- fled with, Hassayampa water has lost its influence in power and old Granite creek must pack up and "git" when faced by the genuine article.
 The coming of these gentlemen is one of the highest and purest in na- tional honor and safety. Back of them is duty that calls for the American to handle American ships, from the speedy torpedo craft to the formidable type that the Oregon rep resents. In short they desire Amer ican blood fore and aft everywhere, on our vessels in the hope that the service will be regenerated entirely on the high seas. Is there anything more patriotic. Hundreds of new ships are gsing into commission year ly and the inducements offered es- pecially the youth are indeed to his advantage.
 Here is beautiful opportunity, '" said gentleman today flor these kids of Prescott, Phenix and Tucson. There are 300 of them in the three towns that haven't made three dol lars piece in three years"
 So far this board haf secured over 800 enlistments and yet they are just beginning their duty. They leave for Phenix on Thursday, thence for Tucson.
 The party in Prescott today is con- posed as follows, having an office in the Bashford building.
 Lieutenant J. P. Morton.
 Surgeon, H. c. Cure.
 Warrant Machinist, James Wilson.
 Fred Josephson.
 c. L. Bringham, Chiefyeoman.

TOMBSTONE ACTIVITY.
Regeneration of the City Due to the Investment of Large Sums
 on its Old Mines.

For the past week the echoes around Tombstone have been awak- ened by the new whistle the Consoli- dated Mines company has recently installed. Great progress has been made by the company in the past week or two, says the Tombstone Prospector. One of the immense 45, 5,000-pound boilers has been fired up and is now furnishing steam for the large pump shaft engine The new hoist is completed and is now in use. There are four hoist in opera tion and more to be placed.
 The emergency pump which the company has built on one of the lower levels is quite an affair in itself. It is fortvfve feet long, fifteen feet wide and twentytwo feet deep. It will have a pump and is intended for use only in case of an accident to the iCSuldh pun Po' IhC bOiStihS Nol hN are being painted on the inside and when finished will present a very neat appearance.
 Speaking of the bove, F. NJ. Mur- phy, who with E. B. Gage and others is behind the development work now everywhere in evidence there, says that old Tombstone enthusiastically and joyously welcomes the advent of capital and the commencement of operations again on that network of mineral claims. The city also shows a great improvement and old timers were again hocking to it in great numbers. And yet Tombstone is bur in its infancy.

OFF HIS "CABEzA." "
A Tenderfoot Attempts to Misldad People on a Pioneers
 Candidacy.

The following appears in the Jer- ome Reporter:
 'Clark, the young lawyer nomi- mated against O'Sullivan, has not been in the county long enough to take his hat of. These Coconino politicians who come to Yavapai tc teach the natives the game of politics should be put on probation"
 The above may be put down in political and personal argument as a lie. Assailing as it does E. s. Clark the republican nominee for district attorney, and coming as it does from an interruptions channel, we desire to say in justice to Mir. Clark, and as a rebuke to both Thompson, as edi- tor, and O'SulIivan, the candidate, that in the years 1886, 1887, 1888 and 1889, E. S. Clark, m all those years, not only lived and worked in Pres colt, but it was also his home. We also desire to say that neither Thompson, the editor, nor O'Sullivan, the candidate, at that time never heard of Yavapai. MT. Clark, while a resident of Prescott worked at his trade, that of printing, and the writer of this will make affidavit to that effect. Mir. Clark did remove to Coconino, but in doing so he has never left the territory for a day.
 Personally MT. Clark is an agree able young man and in advancing from the channels of labor to being today rated as a conscientious lawyer of ability, and above all a steadfast Arizonan in citizenship, we dislike to have him and his candidacy stamped with slurring remarks as is contained above. In all of MT. Clark's political life in Coconino, not an act per formed by him in four years as dis trict attorney, in fidelity to his people, can be placed against his official or political record. He is bright and honest and we believe sincerely if he is elected, he will give Yavapai such an administration in its judicial and financial life as it has never before enjoyed and which the notorious ring rule is again endeavor- ing to perpetuate in the coming election and contrary to what MT. Clark will accomplish.

for years. Yet the democratic state convention never said a word in their favor in its long platform and pre- tended declaration of principles.
 Was this neglect because the democrats were convinced that the admission of the proposed states would strengthen the republicans in the senate and the electoral collegea That it would have this effect there is no doubt.
 But there is something more than representation in the senate and the right to participate in presidential elections involved in the highly inn portant question of statehood for these territories. The people who are asking for statehood are intelli- gent, loyal, capable of maintaining state governments. They are en- titled to the right to make their own laws, and Colorado should sympa- thize with them.
 "The whole west is interested in this question. The development of the trans-Mississippi region calls for the perfection of local governments as speedily as possible. A territory is but a province of the national government. Its very existence as n distinct community depends upon the will of congress. A government like that in wide awake, intelligent American communities like New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma is not conducive to material development. The people should be permitted to organize state governments, and con- gress should bass an enabling act to this effect at the next session and before the Christmas holidays.
 "The fact that the admission of these three territories would strengthen the republican party Tn the senate and the next presidential election is not sufficient reason for democratic opposition pr indifference. The rights of the people should be considered and also the more rapid development of the proposed states"

THE SIDE TRACK
 ON THE MAINLINE
A DOUBLE BACK S0MERSAULT ON THE JOURNALISTIC PLATFORM EQUAILED ONLY BY PUNCH AND JUDY.

The following appears in the Courier this morning and is sub mitted without comment, owing to the hostility of that paper to rail roads. It is from the Tempe core spondent of that paper, R. A. Winoes:
 These things, together with our prospective new railroad, make us think times are going to pick up. We hope some reader of this will know where there is some capital that would be interested in project ing a hoisting enterprise, as I re- quested in my last letter to you.
 On the third page of this mornings issue appears the following also in the Courier:
 The use of the labor union bogie man as an alleged driver out of capi- tai will not prevent a democratic legislature in favor of labor from enacting freight and fare bill for the protection of mine investors and to induce capital to come in here and operate mines with profit and under protective laws.
 Holy smoke! In one breath you want the clements that bring in capital for the development of mines and the country strangled to death and then you want capital to enter over the corpses of those you would have slain. How in the nature of to one can an object of inconsistency in the other instance be accomplished. Your Tempe cor is either right and you are wrong, or you are wrong in him to Aaunt before your anti-railroad sentiments such beauti- ful anticipations he pictures in this issue on railroad building possibilities. "Go way back" etc.

IA FINANCIAL
 DISCREPANCY.
THE UNITED VERDE TENDERS THE COUNTY s2S,OOO IN TAX AND IT IS REFUSED.
The Recent Raise Calls for the Payment of an Annual Tax
 of S48, ,406.
WILL CLARK RESIST
 LEGAL PAYMENT

The United Verde company, by a transaction that took place today enters the field of Yavapai as a fnan- cial center instead of a political object.
 Through its attorneys, Herndon & Norris, and its fiscal agents in Pres colt, the Bank of Arizona, it rendered the payment to Yavapai of s2S,OO0 in money for taxes to the county treas urer.
 It took four men to handle this sum in coin and greenbacks besides couple of trusties. Placing the money on the counter, the above people asked for a point blank re- ceipt. One was rendered to read lon account of taxes" Mr. Norris how ever showed this back, and being told that the treasurer could not and would not give clean cut receipt as asked for, the gold of mammon" was "hiked" back, as it were, to the corner bank.
 The amount rendered by the United Verde was on a basil of last years valuation as assessed by the county. This year however, the as- sessment was raised by the assessor and in value of the property on a four per cent tax rate, the amount due the county on the assessment role of this company aggregates the sum of S4S,4O This the United Verde refused to pay, that is they have so far, in rendering the S28,00O as they did this morning.
 Whether there will follow a. legal action is but reasonable to anticipate. The tender of the paying of sum on a basis of last years valuation is generally considered and weighed as the beginning of a long controversy that will ultimately find solution in the courts.
