Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1902-05-14

The Phenix enterprise of Tuesday evening contains a most vicious, ma.
 licious and scurrileus article about General Funston. Its object seems to be to offer an insult to the com mander of this military department on the occasion of his proposed visit. The article attempts to discredit General Funston's entire career as a military officer with the single ex- ception pf his capture of Aguinaldo. It was probably an oversight that this most brilliant achievement of military skill, the execution of which the greatest bravery was required, was not called in question, or was not credited to some other person, The motive for the publication of the scurrilous article Is very artfully con- cealed, and unless it was actuated by jealousy of Prescott in securing the re-establishment of Whipple, and in- tended to prejudice General Funston against Arizona in general, no possi- ble motive except malice pure and simple can be imagined. The article is devoid of truth from beginning to end, and even if any portion of it was true, no possible good could come from its publication by an Arizona paper, and no paper worthy the name would be willing to give it publicity.

will open up with big lot of talk about increased taxation through the county being obliged to pay its just debts, largely as result of the efforts of the Murphys-all of which, how ever, received the unqualified en- dorsement of large ma jority of the taxpayers of this county, and of the entire territory. "Taxless toots" will be indulged in freely, and it will be claimed that I have mercenary mo- tives for taking the position that l have seen fit to in this matter; but the citizens of Prescott know pretty we'll how I stand on all matters affect ing the best interests of the territory, and are not likely to be affected very much by the cheap talk that is in- dulged in from time to time by cer- tain party press for political reasons solely.
 The only persons who are likely to be temporarily influenced by misre- presentation of facts are the strang- CTS tbat are aocking to the territory ds d Icsulb Oi thc luplONOu touulbtOhS brought about by the healthy devel- opment of the mining interests, largely due to railroad construction and better understanding of our vast mineral resources.
 If every one interested in the vel fare of Prescott will only do half as much as they might, we are sure to have one of the best-if not the best -cities in Arizona. All franchises of importance should be given publicity prior to the city council acting on the same thereby giving the taxpayers an opportunity to present their views before final action Is taken. am in- formed that if 30 per cent of the vot- ing taxpayers of Prescott sign peti- ton to the city council, protesting against the ordinance recently passed, granting the railway franchise com plained of, the council will be com pelled to submit the entire matter to vote. If this is true, it is a matter that should receive immediate atten. ton. F. NJ. Murphy.

STORY OF NEW GOVERNOR.
How Lieut.. Brodie Captured a Band of
 Indians Twenty-two Years Ago.

Twenty-two years ago Colonel Brodie was a lieutenant in the army station .d at Fort Thomas near the San Carlos Indian reservation. At that time the Apaches were warlike and threatening. In counting up the Apaches on the reservation one time the commanding officer discovered that some sixty bucks were out with out leave. In those days that simply meant that band of Apaches were out on murdering trip.
 The officer ordered Lieutenant Brodie to take company of men and go out and bring the Indians in. The lieutenant being young man, full of vigor and courage, selected one man whom be could rely upon, and started out ou his dangerous mission. On reaching the point where the Indians were stationed; young Brodie and his solitary soldier presented themselves to the chief. The old Apache was mad at being interfered with, and told Brodie that he proposed to kill him and his companion. Colonel BIodie, realizing that to show the least evidence of fear meant death, the young officer told the chief that he had come to take him back to the reservation. The big chief looked disdainfully at the soldiers, and again informed the officer to prepare for death. Lieutenant Brodie, with out further barley, pulled out re- volver and shot the chief dead, and then in a commanding tone ordered the sixty Apaches to fall in, wich they did, and marched sullenly back to the reservation under the command of Lieutenant Brodie.
 This is one evidence of the splen- did courage of our new governor. His father was a soldier, also his grandfather, and fought for the inde- pendence of the American union. Colonel Brodie is of an old Knicker booker family. and is total stranger to either fear or wrong doing, and the Democrat believes that the gentleman will make governor of which both parties will take pride in.-Phenix Democrat.

The worlds locomotive speed rec ord was broken again the other day in a run of 14.S miles on the western division of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway, when an average of nearly 100 miles an hour was made by regular passenger train. The Burlington is not likely to break it soon again though, as the officials of the road, when they were informed of the fast run, immediately issued or ders that no more such bursts of speed would be tolerated on the road and instructed its engineers to limit the speed of their trains to that of the comparative safety of their pas sengers. There are not many people who care to travel at 100-mile gait.

HALF AND HALF. THE HOUSE PASSES THE OM- NIBUS STATE ADMIS-
 SION BILL. Arizona; New Mexico and Okla homa Are to Be Admitted as Sovereign States of
 the Union.

Press dispatches today, as well as private telegrams, state that the Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona admission bills passed the house of representatives yesterday afternoon and will be considered by the senste at fixed date, as yet not set.
 The Republicans telegrsphic re- port says that the bill as passed pro- vides for enabling acts for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, similar in form to other enabling acts, with the exception that the constitutional con- vention of New Mexico is empowered to designate the haihe by which the new state shall enter the union, and in the case of Oklahoma the conven- tion by irrevocable ordinance shall express the consent of that state that congress at any future time may at tach all or any part of Indian terri tory to it.
 The enabling acts differ from one another chiefly in reference to public lands appropriated for educational and public purposes.
 The real test came on an amend ment offered by Mir. Overstreet of Indiana, to join New Mexico and Ari- zona together and admit them as the state of Montezuma. It was beaten 2S to 1O6, and all opposition then ceased.
 The closing scenes of the debate were accompanied by dramatic in cident which narrowly missed being a tragedy. Delegate Mark A. Smith of Arizona. who has been fighting fol the admission of his territory for a dozen years, had just made a vigor- ous speech againt the Ovsrstrset amendment when he was seized with rush of blood to the head. He was conveyed to the lobby, where several physicians who are members of the house, by the prompt administration of powerful heart stimulants, saved him from a stroke of appoplexy, He later rallied and was removed to his hotel.
 Delegate Smith, after making a ten-minute speech against the propo. sition to consolidate Arizona and New Mexico, was attacked by vertigo. He was helped to a committee room, where he was attended by Represen. tative Wilson. Two additional physi cians were called to assist.

A Man to the Rescue !
The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
 Help From Her Own Sex.

It is in no wise to woman's discredit that she is not professional ffe-saver. We can only fancy her in the freman's helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or yielding a policeman's club, at the loss of some of that fneness which is the distinguishing quality of her sex The Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are only examples of the sublime self-for- getfulness of women in great emer- gencies.
 It's much the same in other ways. Women turn to the strength, skill and judgment of men in the crises of life.

Horace Greeley's famous e1pres. sion of Look to the senate" seems applicable to Arizona at the present time on statehood matters. But from the trend of senatorial sentiment as it oozes out from that quarter nova, days, when Arizona statehood is trembling with uncertainty and alarm before that exalted outfit, the old say ing will probably lose its weight in national fame on momentous ques- tions, and something like "to hades with the senate" will be the proper caper with Arizonians.

TIE ELECTRA MINE.
IA Promising Mine Near Gilbert, East of
 Wlckenburg.

Development work, according to re- ports, is progressing satisfactorily on the Electra mine near Gilbert. The working shaft is down over hundred feet and all is in good ore, says the Republican. A whim is now on the ground and will be erected at once and the force of men increased When the shaft is sunk to depth of 150 feet a crosscut will be made to determine the walls of the ledge.
 The mine is being promoted by Nickerson and Wilson of Phenix and they are very mach pleased with the present showing. The property was recently visited by E. J. Bonsall, who at their request gave a written opin- ion on their mine. Considering the limited amount of development work done the showing could not be better. MT. Bonsalls report is as follows:
 "Formation granite. That is, mica- cious granite for foot wall, with an altered diorite dike running between the granites in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction, which is un- doubtedly your vein, as it is highly mineralized throughout. The dike measures about thirty feet wide and dips to the southwest at an angle of thirty-five degrees, and shows practi- cally the entire length of the two claims three thousand feet.
 "Work. The shaft is at the ex- treme southeast end being down fifty feet in the dike showing a decidedly mineralized streak of five feet. It is useless to continue work at this shaft as it is badly situated for further de- velopment of the claim. The werk at the extreme northwest end of the property is down seventy feet and showing good. Would advise con tinuation of this shaft to at least one hundred and fifty feet; then crosscut mort heasterly to the foot wall.
 Would advise the procuring of ground northwesterly for dump purposes, buildings, etc.
 Twill further say with the altera- tion of the dike, and mineralized as it is, it is only a question of depth to get out of this oxidized zone into the zone, where you will have mine"

The Journal-Miner did not expect its contemporary to answer the ques- tions propounded in the last issue of this paper. It was not disappointed Instead of answering, it got of lot of "stuf" which has periodically ap- peared in that paper for over seven years last past, and adds a request that the editor of the Journal Miner publish some of his private cores pondence. This is as near as the aforesaid paper ever comes to estab- fishing its assertions with facts or arguments.

4 PLAZA POEM,

lSOhAAl When the county dads" met then
 together one day, And did not know just what to dc
 they say; As they'd done all the things that
 were worthy their name, And knew not where to climb to that pihnaale-fame. After scratching their heads for three
 weeks or more Thinking great and deep thoughts
 as they've oft done before; They hit them at last a remarkable
 plan Ay, very remarkable-man unto man Said the chairman unto his fellows al
 last, When his time for deep meditation was past: "Wall, gentlemen, our term of office
 don't last all day, Each election, the old timer, does wha
 he may, No matter what he may think of him
 self, Is quietly laid way back on the shelf So to save our names bright on the
 annals of time, Let's build us monument hard and
 sublime" So the statesmen all approved of thi:
 plan,
  And they looked north and south
 east and west for man Who could build fantastic shapes out
 of stone; Then they put him to work-he work:
 not alone; He gathers the rock all round about town, And there in the Plaza he string,
 them around, Moral! The moral is this, give it heed now pray:
