Territories Win.

The membership contest which has been on for some time before the A. o. U. w. lodges of Arizona and New Mexico against Colorado, has ended and victory perches on the banner of Arizona and New Mexico Workmen.
 Under the conditions of the con- test the division getting the great est percentage of increase was to be awarded banner valued at $50. The percentage was based on the number of lodge members already in each division. The Colorado Workmen have been defeated by about 30 per cent. This is based on the returns now in. When all are heard from and the official count made, it is expected that Arizona and New Mexico will have won by 50 per cent.
 The lodges of the first class in this division, which includes Silver City, Albuquerque, Bisbee and Phoe- nix, entered friendly contest for an altar emblem valued at $35, which was to be awarded to the in- dividual lodge getting the greatest number of new members. This has been won by Bisbee.-Albuquerque Citizen.
 A few years ago the editor of the Albuquerque Citizen was brought sup before the supreme court of New Mexico for contempt. The editor has waited to get even, and in re- cent issue says: "Two of the judges who sentenced the editor of the Citizen for contempt of court are dead, two are in obscurity in the the east, and the remaining one is a nonenity of Santa Fe. We expect to kick the clods on the graves of the whole five"

to work on it at once. The hemi- tite runs through the granite walls and the whole mass carries values. It will take some time to ascertain the extent of the strike. Other prospectors are exhibiting good gold specimens, and as each new strike is reported the excitement grows. Denver people say that Kingman is sure to be the mining center of Arizona and that the new gold fields are richer than Cripple Creek.

out Arizona for miners, each train into Cananea brings miners from Bisbee. Douglas, Clifton, Morenci and Globe and they all get work. The fact of the matter is, miners consider Cananea one of the best camps in the southwest and they prefer to work here. Wages are good and their treatment is such that there is no complaint, except in rare instances where by accident a straw boss gets in whose biggest end is his shoes.-Cananea Herald.

A California paper says of Ari- zona :: "The visitors who go to Arizona for the winter will find more attractions than that of eli mate. Although regarded as q desert. Arizona has wonderful pos abilities of wealth. Her sands can be made as fruitful as the richest soils in the Union by irrigation. Many of her valleys are already becoming noted as fruit growing districts, and there can be but lit tie doubt that, like California, Ari- zona will yet be richer in her or chards than in her mines. People who go there simply to seek for health will find abundant induce ments to remain and make com forta ble homes for themselves all the year around.

MRS. MURPHY WISHES DIVORCE
Wife of ex.Governor of Arizona Seeks
 Separation Through the Courts.


 A dispatch from Phoenix to the Los Angeles Herald under date of August 8 says: A suit for divorce has been brought by Mrs Sarah A. Murphy, wife of N. o. Murphy, for mer delegate to congress and re- gently governor of Arizona. Gov ernor Murphy is at present in New York, and Mrs. Murphy, who mar rowly escaped death in a railroad accident at Dodge City, Kansas, is at Prescott. It is said that Mrs. Murphy alleges insobriety in her complaint and asked that a sum of money and alimony be settled on her. It has been generally under stood for several weeks that a suit of this nature would be filed. The court records do not show that the suit has been filed in Phoenix, but Governor Murphy's close friends accept the story as being true. The suit, they say, probably was filed in Prescott, and the Arizona method of suppressing the news of a divorce case until the time of trial may ac- count for the condition of the rec ords. Mrs. Murphy, whose maiden name was Barnhart, is the daugh ter of prominent northern Ari- zona cattleman, and in her youth she was unique western girl, who rode the cattle ranges with the cow boys. In later years she discarded her frontier pleasures and became prominent in Washington society during the time her husband repre- sented Arizona in congress. She is woman of much beauty and was married twenty years ago, before her husband had attained prom1- hence.

AN INTERESTING
 TRIP DESCRIBED
Hon. A. J. Doran Tells Of His Recent Travels in Northern
 Portion of Arizona.

Hon. A. J. Doran, who left re- gently for St. Louis for the purpose of letting the contract for the cree tion of the Arizona building, has but lately returned from an ex- tended trip throughout the north ern portion of the territory, says the Prescott Herald. In speaking of his trip, Mir. Doran said that dur ing his absence he travelled for sev- enty-fve miles over what is known as the painted desert, which, he says, is a most interesting section, containing large deposits of copper which are at present out of the market owing to their isolated loca- tion. In this region he passed through a petrified forest, some of the trees being 100 feet in length and intact. They are not agatized as are those in the much advertised Arizona petrifed forest. Here and there are piles of petrifed splinters from the trees. Some of the wood is slightly agatized. The country gets it name of painted desert from many mounds of various colored mud scattered over its surface The country is covered with this mud, shale and sandstone. Beyond Coco nino Point the sandstone strata seems to have been pushed back to make way for an open valley, on either side of which the sandstone formation towers to a height of a thousand feet or more. In this open valley is located the petrified forest and many of the petrifed trees carry a high percentage of copper. The altitude is 1000 feet above sea-level and immense depos- its of copper ore lie on top of the sand. The ore averages 10 per cent copper. There is vast area over which these copper deposits, about sixteen feet thick, are found These deposits are right in the sandrock. Mir. Doran went there in the interests of the White Mesa Copper Mining Company and the Pittsburg Company. The former company has a force of men at work trying to develop sufficient water for a teaching point. Mr. Doran says the formation is simi- lar to that of the South African diamond fields, and that recently two valuable diamonds have been found there by teamsters. Mr- Doran brought back with him some specimens of the petrified wood and some pieces of jasper. One of the pieces of petrified wood shows plain ly that the wood was half-retted before the process of turning to stone commenced. MT. Doran says the country must have been a gar den of tropical growth before the visitation of sand and mud and change of climate turned it into the fantastic wonderland which it is. He also brought with him about twenty-five pounds of the copper ore referred to, which looks all right.

ARIZONA EXHIBITS
 AT ST. LOUIS FAIR
Rules Adopted for the Guidance of Exhibitors ---AII Requested
 to Help in the Work.

That there may be uniformity in the collection of exhibits intended for the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, the board of managers for Arizona have formulated the following rules and instructions, viz:
 Mineral Exhibit The samples from each mine should represent actual resources and a fair average of the ores in the mine. There should also be taken and accom- pany the ore a sample of the gangue rock or associate minerals; also samples of the hangings and footwalls, or country rock. The size of specimens or bulk of the ex- hibit from any particular mine will be governed by the size and extent of the vein of deposit. All exhibits should be accompanied by the fol- lowing information, viz:
 First-Name of mine, where situ- ated, name of owner or operator, whether in vein or deposit, amount or extent of development, average value of ore in gold (ounces) per ton, value in silver (ounces) per ton, copper (per cent), lead (per cent), and value of any other min eral per ton.
 Second-If the ores are being treated at the mine, give method of treatment.
 Third Give character and ca pacity of machinery employed.
 Fourth-If mine is equipped with hoisting plant, its capacity.
 Fifth-If possible, maps of the underground working; also photo- graphs of the mine hoists, mills, improvements and immediate vi cinity, should accompany each ex- hibit. All of the above data will be necessary.
 Specimens of building stone should not exceed 12-inch-square cubes. The faces polished or pre- pared so as to show the texture and possibilities of the stone to the best advantage.
 Several of these cubes may be prepared from different parts of the quarry. Each exhibit should be accompanied by the following information:
 Character of stone, locality, name of owner or operator. If possible, photographs of the quarry and of the machinery for handling should accompany the exhibit.
 Marbles and Oynx-The same rules should be observed as given for building stone, except that the specimens should be slabs about 12x24 inches, one face of which should be polished so as to show to best advantage.
 While the board of managers de- sires to make the mineral exhibit purely an industrial one, still cabi- nets of rare and valuable ores are desired. Such cabinets the board of managers will be responsible for, and they will be returned to the owners or disposed of, as directed A fund will be set aside for that purpose. These specimens will be returned to the owner at the ex- pense of the territory, if desired.
 According to the provisions of the act of the legislature, all ex- hibits become the property of the territory, and are to be returned to the territory and become a perma- nent exhibit, either at the capitol or territorial university, except such exhibits as the board of man. agers agree to return to the own CTS. All exhibits should be ad- dressed to either R. N. Leather wood, Tucson, Arizona; or, A. J. Doran, Prescott, Arizona.

THE INDIAN SCHOOL BAND
Are Home Again After Most Successful
 Vacation Tour.

Are Home Again After Most Successful
 Vacation Tour.
 The Phoenix Indian school band has returned from most success ful and enjoyable tour of Arizona and California. All members of the band feel better for their out ing, even though they were working most of the time, and the travel and experience has surely been of educational benefit to them. They accomplished a great trip and man. aged by their music to defray the greater part of the expense of it.
 They went from here to San Car los, then across the country to Hol- brook, visited the Grand Canyon and Williams and furnished the music at Williams for the three day celebration-July 4th, 5th and 9th. From there they went to Kingman for a day. Leaving Kingman their next stop was at Bakersfield, then Visalia, Hanford and Merced At Stockton they played for a week to good audi ences, and from there went to Oak land, where they played a week at Idora park, both in the theater and at open-air entertainments.
 They had no date to fill in San Francisco, but spent day or two there in sightseeing and visiting the most notable places of interest. Con- tinuing their journey down the coast, they played at Santa Cruz, Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo, staying for two days in the latter place, and coming from there home
 Beside the outing they enjoyed, they received favorable press no- tices wherever they went, showing that their professional accomplish ments were appreciated. But more than all else, they advertised the Phoenix school in way that is sure to attract to it greater atten- tion in sections so far away where it has hitherto been scarcely heard of. The band was under the man. agement of B.. B. Custer, the school disciplinarian, and it's tour was shortened little by reason of MT. Custer being transferred from the Phoenix school to the superintend- ency of the Greenville, Cal, school, the change necessitating his early return to Phoenix to make prepara- tions for leaving. The Greenville school is in Plumas county, about 15O miles northwest of Sacramento, and the change for Mir. Custer is in the line of an advancement both in the Indian service and in a fnan- cial way.-Republican.
 Captain w. H. Hardy, a citizen and taxpayer of this county, has brought suit against M. Scanlon, J. H. Johnson and William A. Neal and their bondsmen for thousands of dollars, money misappropriated by them during their terms of of flee. The complaint recites an even one hundred separate causes of ac- tion and covers about eighty type written pages. E. M. Sanford of Prescott is attorney for complain ant. E. E. Ellinwood has been en- gagged by the defense, and the suit promises to be warmly contested. The trial of this case will probably enlighten the people of this county regarding the manner in which their money has been squandered by the old board of supervisors Kingman Miner.

A Free Traders Admission.

There are times when the most per-
sistent antiprotectionist temporarily
abandons his role and becomes enthu-
siastic over the wonderful industrial
and commercial record Of the United
States, attained under the operation of
the protective tariff. After referring
to the figures of exports of articles;
and groups Of articles sent abroad last
year the Fittsburg Post says.
'"The foundation of our prosperity
present and prospective, rests on the
continHous demand that there always
must be for these articles and groups
Of articles. This enfToes the fact that
the fabric of our export trade Bests
on broad and deep foundations, for In
this great trade we are not dealing in
the luxuries and supertiuities, but in
the HecsssaEies, of life. The things we
produce the world must have, and we
cannot be boycotted The fifteen hun

clared vehenently that the foundation
of our prosperity depends upon i'm

If by any mischance the Democratic
party should win in 1904 and if Demo
cratic haresies were to have the sway
they did under the second Cleveland
administration and if the result should
be half as disastrous to the party as it
was then, then Bryan would become a
demigod instead of n demagogue in the
estimation of many people and we
might look for another visitation of
Pepulism. Then this country would

The fact that in many of the coun-
ties the matter of congressional and
legislative nominations is now being
discussed brings up prominently the
fact that next year will be very i'm

Since Senator Penrose got back Sec

there has been a food of letters re-

the members of the county commit
