ORGANIZED FOR
TEMPERANCE
Anti-SalOOn League at
Iron King.
Other Interesting News From the
Model Mining Camp OF YaVa-
pal County.

Blanchard, Arizona, Jan. 17.-At
the conclusion of the regular G. E.
servicee tonight, a meeting was called
for the purpose of organizing an anti.
saloon league in this camp. The
meeting was presided over by Mr..
DOdsOn, most devoted and enthus-
iastic temperance worker. Forty two
members were enrolled, and the fol-
lowing officers elected: President,
j. Pulsi4er; vice president, W. R.
Williams; secretary, W. h Reed;
treasurer, W. j. Shaw. Our Iron
King league is organized for active
aggressive work, and we hope that
/ by laboring in earnest cooperation
with the other leagues Of this district,
we shall in the near future strike
some deadly blows at what we regard
as the greatest evil of our time-par-
ticularIy IN the mining district-ths
saloon.
The funeral of the late Mrs Frank
Reynolds was held this morning. A
large and sympathetic concourse Of
friends assembled to pay their last
sad respects and adieu to the remains
of her who was so lately a neighbor
in our midst, dearly beloved and To-
spected by all. Mrs. Reynolds, an
invalidEfor number of years, ten
derby looked after by her devoted
husband, bore her sad lot with exem-
plary fortitude. Weak in body, she
was yet active in mind, as quite q
number Of excellent poems produced
by her testifies. After short funeral
service conducted by Mr.. Dodson, a
procession, of the miners and others
followed the remains to the depot
where they we're placed on board the
train for final interment in Prescott.
We extend to Frank the sincere SYM
patty of the entire camp in this his
sad hour of bereavement and trial.
The only living candidate, so far as
your correspondent is aware for the
Society of Nstiv. Sons of Iron King
is the bright bouncing boy Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Williams who was intro
duced for the first time to the cares
and joys of life some time last week.
Both Mrs. Williams and boy, (almost

Came As a Surprise.

Bishop Earl Cranston has appointed
DR.. s. A. Thomson as presiding elder
of the Pasadena NJ. z. district.
The announcement was a surprise to
many of the clergy in the district, as
the appointment of DIR. T. G. Miller
was expected, but the selection Of DR..
Thompson meets with the approval of
prominent cburchmen.
Together with DR.. Miller, Dr.. Thorn
son was prominently considered for
the place at the last conference Of the
Southern California Methodists, and
he would in all likelihood have been
appointed but for the urgent petit
ton of church leaders in Arizona, who
asked him 70 continue his work in the
field in that territory.
DR.. Thomson was formerly presid-
ing elder OF the Fresno district and is
therefore we'll fitted for the important
work of his new position.
DR.. Thomson will assume his duties
at once. He resides at 1215 West
Thirtieth street, this city, A.
Herald.

mighty good. The notice of the strike
was in error, however, in stating the
place the strike was made. The re-
port said it was in the long tunnel on
the copper property, but it was on
what Mr.. hubert calls his silver group
and was in a new shaft which be was
sinking on the big ledge. At a depth
of about thirty feet he cut through
the Gaping and struck the ore. Only
a little WORK was done after the dis
covery, but the ore that was taken out
gives indication that the vein is a
large one and although no assays have
been made there can be but little
doubt that it will run we'll. Mr.. Ru-
bert has shipped ore from this same
property taken from a tunnel which
went all the way from 100 to 275
ounces to the ton in silver, 60 to 70
per cent lead and S14 in gold. The
ore which he has recently opened he
believes is the best he has ever found,
which would seem to be a valuable
strike. He is very much gratified at
this strike as he is satisfied that he
has the making of a big mine.
Parties desiring to see the sample
brought to town can do so by calling
at this Office.

chronicled the fact that A. J. hubert
had made a good strike Of ore in his
properties on the Hassayampa. To-

homes on this mornings train. These
gentlemen are connected with the
Bradshaw Mines company, and have
spent several days at the mines OF the

to their homes very highly pleased

Ben Blanchard, general manager of
the Iron King mine for the American
Copper company, came in from
Blanchard this afternoon. He re-
ports things in splendid condition at
the big camp, and the diamond drills
down to a depth of 40 feet below the
$50 foot shaft, OF total depth of
about AGO feet. The sulphide ore is
just about the same character and
values at that depth as they are at the
$50 foot station. Some exceptionally
rich sulphide ore has been encounter
ed in shaft No. ., the values running
about 80 per cent copper. The shaft
has been sunk something over ten feet
in this ore and no indication of its
changing as yet.

Geo. W. Sarano, of the Ideal COM
pany. operating on Groom creek, is in
town today and reports that good
strike was made in the property few
days since. The south drift at the 135
foot level opened up a solid body of
ore over three feet in width that runs
over $40 to the ton in gold. The ore
vein at this place had been split up
into two lenses and the values were
averaging about sl5 per ton, and the
fact that the veins have come together
and the values nearly trebled is good
cause for rejoicing.

Count Mentschikof who came in
yesterday from the Bradshaw noun
tains, reports rich strike in the New
Jersey mining claim owned by A. G.
Gilmore and Charles Bradbury, and
which is being worked under lease
and bond by Count Mentschikoff. The
ore body or rich streak is said to be
from four to eleven inches wide and
assays of grab sample gave a value
of s6743 per ton. Samples have been
picked which run as high as SO, 900.
The mine has produced extraordinary
rich ore in the past, the ore being
found in small pockets or kidneys.
The claim is located in the Bradshaw
mountains near the Crowned King
mine and in proximity to number of
other good claims which have been
producers in the past.

c. W. Plat informs the Journal
Miner that he is now grading for the
new mill at the Hlizona Mining COM
pany's property, near Kirkland, and
hopes to have a nice little plant in
operation there in the near future.
The property was visited few weeks
ago by an expert who was sent there
to thoroughly examine it with a view
of determining what was needed in
the way of machinery, ETC., so that
the work of development might be
prosecuted with the best results. The
engineer recommended that the shaft
which is now down 200 feet, be driven
down to depth of 500 feet before any
other extensive work was done. In
order to do this it was found to be

air compressor and machine drills,
and this work is now under considera-

put in.

of appropriation. The truth is that
this is duplication of an item appear
ing in the appropriations Of 1901. AS
a matter of fact not a dollar of this
amount is or has been spent except
in the case of an unforeseen emergen-
cy arising at some state institution.
If a dining hall or dormitory at one
of the institutions, for instance, should
be burned, this fund is for the purpose
of coming to the rescue OF the institu-
tion instead of calling the General
Assembly into extra session, at enor-
nous expense, to provide for it, It
may be mentioned in this connection

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
A0LaA TIE MOST ECO
noI.G5LLY MANAGED
STATE IN THE UNION !.

Hhen Ii comes to the election of
nembers Of the Legislature on Nov s,
year vote means one OF two things
either you do or you don't care wheth-
CT Or not the states business is carried
on II al economical, businesslike
manner in which you would want
company in which you were
stockholder to be conducted.
Either you will cast your vote in favor
Oh continuing the present debt-destroy-
ing expense-reducing state admins
tration, or you will express perfer.
ence for a start in a new direction.
This is as certain as the result of an
ar1thmetical process, correctly carried
out-lf experience teaches anything.
Here are the facts: Indiana is to-
day the most economically managed
state in the Union. Within the past
nine years of Republican control
state debt of seven and half million
dollars has been cut to less than two
million dollars, which with present
conditions continued, will soon be
wiped out. The tax levy has been ma
terially reduced under the Republican
regime. All this has been accom-
pllshed in spite of the expenditure of
more than 100000 in the permanent
improvement of the state penal and
charitable institutions, the completion
of the soldiers monument, the estab-
lishment of the state soldiers home
at Lafayette, and the purchase of a
site for the girls industrial school,
the separation of which from the wo-
mans refor matory has been authorized
by law. Reform laws have been
passed which have reduced the bur-
dens of local taxation and have re-
suited in the turning into the states
treasury of thousands of dollars in
fees which formerly went to private
Golfers. The per capita cost of the
maintenance of the states wards in
various institutions has been materi-
ally decreased.
Republican state and legislative can
didstes stand for a continuance of
these conditions.
