ARIZONA WOMAN
 STUDYING FOR Theatrical Career in
 Los Angeles.
Former Wife of Ex-Governor Mur- phy Taking Course at School
 of Expression.

The Examiner of last Sunday con- tained the following article pertain
 ing to a we'll known and highly re- spected Arizona woman:
 "Mrs. Murphy, the former wife of ex-Governor NO. Murphy of Arizona, and for a number of years a promi- nent social figure in Arizona and Washington, D. O., is in Los Angeles and has been during the past summer a student at the Cumnock school of expression on South Figueroa street. Mrs. Murphy expects to continue her studies in literature, physical culture and dramatic art during the winter, and entertains an idea of going on the stage later.
 ''Mrs. Murphy was celebrated in Arizona as a daring horsewoman though she is modest in speaking of Der skill in handling horses. She is known all over Arizona and figured conspicuoulsy in public life there for a time. While in Washington she was a pronounced social success. She has been living in the east and west since obtaining her divorce from Governor Murphy a year ago, and is now located at the Wayside Inn on Potter Park avenue, near FIgueroa street. She says that she has no in- tention of entering into social life here and is studying more for the pleasure she derives from it than from any intention of entering theatrical work, though she does not deny that she may go upon the stage at a later date. She is a stately woman with large, dark eyes and an abundance of dark hair.''

Senator CIark's Parker Stake. !"

Local democracy in Prescott is bad ly shattered. From such reliable sources as the Hearst Examiners, comes the astounding intelligence that the United Verde senator, as they call him, has broken all previous records in the line of political con- tribution from a personal standpoint and has converted to the use of dem- ocracy and Parker, the nice little in- got of sl,OOO, eco. They are not mo- tested by the fact, but in their intre- pretation of the deed, they are inter- ested to the extent of asking why Tn hades don't he come in with us. That is but human. Senator Clark, among many who know him, Is rated as a
 tight political article, unless he is personally interested in the game of politics, and the report that has gained national notorlety in this late transaction naturally makes the Ian gushing cause of Arizona democracy feel somewhat restless in the line of financial assistance, or in other words the Arizonan is imbued with the same characteristics in a local sense that his big brother has in a national one. And then on the other hand, it will be remembered that this self same senator could not and would not stand little raise of an insignificants10, 900 on the United Verde tax assessment in Yavapai county, while at the same time he can melt a cool million for the cause of one individual and let an entire community in this territory whistle for the pittance due. The dispatch published says:
 New York. Sept. 30-It was reported at the national democratic headquar- ters tonight that Senator William A. Clark, the copper king of Montana, had given sl, 900, 900 to the committee for campaign expenses.
 Senator Clark was seen tonight in the Albermarle Hotel. He was asked point blank if it was true that he had given sl,OOO,OOO. He refused to dis cuss the report.
 That Senator Clark did make a ! heavy contribution seemed to be a | settled fact among those around the . Waldorf, Fifth avenue and | Seville hOtels tonioht
 One story that has all the earmarks of truth attached to it is that Senator Clark did not personally contribute the S1, GOO, 900, but that he told Judge Parker he would be one of ten men to give that sum; that he would act

as chairman of committee of ten
 men that would contribute a million.
 He guaranteed that sum outright. It
 was said that Senator Clark had sug- gested to Judge Parker the means by which ample funds could be secured for the campaign. There should be, he said, twenty men appointed chair men of sub-financial committees. His committee would raise s1, 900. The.other democrats should raise s5OO,- 900, twenty others s25O, 900, thirty others sl00. 900. In this manner, he thinks, two or three million dollars could be obtained within the next forty days.

Republican Candidates Spoke at
 Groom Creek Monday Night.

The republican candidates held a meeting on Monday night at Groom creek. It was an enthusiastic meeting too.
 Everybody on the creek who was able to do so, turned out to the meet ing, and there were only four who were unable to attend.
 The miners of the camp, with the characteristic generosity, of their class, not only gave the use of their hall free, but assisted in decorating it for the occasion.
 The candidates were given a most cordial reception and a respectful hearing, and they came away greatly

SITUATION NOT
 ENCOURAGING Railroad Traffic Only Partially Opened. Work of Repairing Damages Nam moth TaSk-May Require An other Week to Complete It,

A telee ram from Trinidad dated October 3, is not as reassuring in ref erence to the opening of railroad communication as the information received by the Journal Miner on Monday. The latter intimated that communication might possibly be opened up tomorrow. The Trinidad telergam follows:
 fRepairs on several sections of the Santa Fe railroad which were damaged by the flood on Friday morning last are rapidly progressing. General Manager Nudge and Superintendent Easley of the Santa Fe are here and have taken personal charge of the work of reconstructoin.
 Traffic was opened through Trini- dad today, but Santa F'e officials say it will be at least a week before trains an reach Albuquerque, owing to the loss of several miles of track near Las Vegas. General Superintendent Coglin of the Rio Grande was in Trin- idad today and stated that the track between Ell Moro and Trinidad would be reconstructed immediately. The Rio Grande bridge at Fl Moro, across the river, IS nearly completed. The Santa Fe station safe, containing $500 hnd valuable records was found half a mile down the river with the contents unInjured. '"

All dates in Apache county were declared off, and the Courier this morning gave as reason therefor the washouts on the Santa Fe. This is a ludicrous excuse. Holbrook as we'll as the main line to Albuquerque is open to traffic, and as yet no trouble is being experienced to reach all those points, except by the democratic nom- inee.
 The trouble of not doing so by MT. Smith is due to other reasons. Something is doin' in the field that is now being traversed by MT. Fowler, and Mir. Ellinwood is sizing up the situation, faithfully, hence MT. Smith IS recalled from headquarters. The query is, why should MT. Smith take the back track? And why should ob- legations be set asdie unless it was necessary to again whip into line the faithful of other days, that are at last wavering.
 Wherever he goes or wherever he Is heard, the candidacy of MT. Fowler is being weighed with sincerity and support, and the material is at last, it seems, suppIanting the "hot air" of inactivity. It is time. Twelve years a delegate and what. On the other hand, a private citizen, and everything. That is the difference be tween the two men. Has the millen- nium arrived at last, or why does Mir. Smith so suddenly take the back track?

AN EXCEPTIONAL
 COMMUNITY
Without a Criminal Stain and With out a Cent of Official Money is the Record of a Yavapai Settlement.

So far as criminal misdoings are to
 be considered, and likewise the
 expense attached thereto officially,
 Yavapai has an exceptional commun-
 ity in this respect. It is the little
 town of Mayer on Big Bug. For over twenty years it has been recognized as a center commercially as we'll as a rendezvous socially. In all of that time, or since Joe Mayer became it's "father,'' so to speak, it has never had killing, or criminal to stand trial. A justice of the peace has never been able to qualify after being elected, and a constable or a deputy sheriff was out of place, because there has never arisen an opportunity for the services of either. On every side of Mayer however, the opposite has prevailed, and the expense that the county has borne accordingly is heavy The records substantiate this in favor of Mayer, and the subject is brought home to us in view of the fact that at the present time the investor is going to it for home or business pursuit, and such appreciate the conditions in evidence there morally at least.
 This is remarkable condition. Is A.i1 N1, compare with it.
 Today this place is thrifty center, and the material backbone of its life lies in mining, smelting and the onyx industry, not to mention climatic ad- vantages unexcelled as well as the rail road and farming interests. Probably it is due to the odor of the atomsphere that such contented conditions are in evidence there among its residents the uniformed may say, but such is not so. The personality of the man who owns it is the avenue. His individ- uality was of the right character, and after getting it agoing as stage sta tion, the rule has been to keep it agoing on the same principle as it grows out of all proportions to its former self. At times at Mayer there is a congestion of people, and it has accommodated over one hundred transients in a night. Liquor has been sold and games have been played disputes have arisen, but no gun plays have taken place, fugitives have come to it but were not good for the service, these and many more are the characteristics of the place that has not cost Yavapai a dollar to date be- fore the courts of justice, or any other expense publicly. What a record for an Arizona town.

APPRECIATE THE
 OPPORTUNITY
Private Capital Interested in the Possibilities of Dan Building in Arizona -DesirabiIity of the San Carlos Project.

That a deep interest is manifested in the possibilities of land reclama- tion through the storage of water in Arizona, is an evident fact. Since the inauguration of the work on the Tonto dam the subject has become of national importance, and so much SO that private capital is being directed to especially the San Carlos project. In line with this belief the following will illustrate the feeling therein and which is taken from the Phoenix Gag ette of recent date:
 "Major J. E. Wilson, for years mining surveyor for the government with headquarters at Los Angeles, is in aPhoenix today, having been to Pinal county on a most important mission. Major Wilson has made a searching investigation into the feasi- bility of the much mooted question of the great San Carlos dam. What is more significant is that he made this investigation in the capacity of advising and consulting engineer for New York capitalists and not in his capacity as a government employe. Those who sent him know what they are about and have an abundance of capital for the consummation this A1O io Mofn says that it can be accomplished with profit to themselves and the people. I found the scheme to be entirely feasible, Major Wilson said to The Gazette last night. 1t would, 1 believe, cost at least B, 900, 900 to get the best results of the project, but those who sent me would expect to invest every cent necessary and this figure would not seem too large for them. They will build the San Carlos dam if the United States government will not. Indeed, we could protect the people and be as liberal with them as could the government. If it would pay the department of the interior and be practicable to the government, there is no resson.why it should not appeal to us on the same terms. Only one grave matter stands in our light as far as I can now see and that is the question of the Indians yho are wards of the government and who must be protected under any circumstances.
