Henry c, Payne, postmaster gen eral of the United States, member of the national republican committee, a stalwart of his party, with the history of which in his home state and na- tionally he has been identified for many years, died in his apartments in the Arlington in Washington City, at 6:l0 o'clock last evening, aged 80 years. Mir. Payne has been in poor health for at least two years, but his last illness covered only seven days. An attack of heart trouble last week precipitated the end at a time when after rest he seemed to have recov- cred some small measure of the vi- tality impaired by years of arduous labor. His death came after nearly six hours of unconsciousness.

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia as follows: 1T was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physi- cians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made de- cided improvement. continued their use for three weeks, and am now we'll man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim" No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at all drug stores.

A few days ago, when Judge Parker made au address to the democratic ed itors who called upon him at Rose mount, he said ''I shall not take up your time with any reference to the great issues upon which our party appeals to the people," This was certainly very wise and conservative on his part, since the public is gasp ing Lo know what the issues are and what Judge Parker thinks about them. As the case now stands it would pug gle Philadelphia lawyer to state the issues. A bill of particulars would be very acceptable from the judge, so that the jury can determine whether there is any issue save Parker vs. Roosevelt. But the American people will soon decide the case.

It is evident that Mark Smith does not expect much from the northern counties in the way of votes. He has no great liking for the counties of Coconino, Navajo and Apache, as they have in nearly every instance when he has beeu a candidate cast their vote against him. Mir. Smith spoke at Winslow Saturday night and then turned south, cancelling his dates in Holbrook and St. Johns.
The Coconino sun., 1904-10-08

The republicans of Coconino coun- ty have placed an excellent ticket in the field. In this the republicans. and indeed every citizen of the county, de- serves to be congratulated. It is a ticket that commands the approval. of all good citizens, and the ticket is one that should be elected.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers at a recent meeting held in New York placed themselves on rec ord as taking the stand that the non union man has as good right to work as the union man, providing the wages are the same, and expressed their willingness to work with non- union men providing this condition was met. This declaration, coming as 1t does, from one of the strongest la- Dor organiz ations in the country, as we'll as the most conservative one, may pave the way to a general accept ance of this view by union labor. If such were the case, the labor disturb ances would be reduced to minimum. It will probably be some time, how ever, before this principle meets with general acceptance.

Mir. Ellinwood told the Tucson Citi- zen that the northern counties would give Mark Smith 800 majority. The northern counties are not going to stand for Mir. Smith at this election and he knows 1t and he bolted the northern canvas in order to look after the vote in the southern coun- ties

People who are figuring on the pres idential election should not lose sight of the fact that the electoral college now consists of 476 votes against AT in 1900. This means an increase of 29 votes. New York, Illinois and Texas each gain three votes; Minne- sota, New Jersey and Pennsylv ania each two; 14 other states gain one vote each. The total vote of the cleo toral college will be 476; necessary to elect, 239.

 The sports and other frequenters of Fairbanks resorts are not without the news of the world. "Within five hours of the time of the Iroquois theatre fire occurred in Chicago" says Billy Thomas, who has just returned from Fairbanks, "the news was public property in Far banks. One of the leading saloon men of the town paid for the news and post ed it in his resort. He also obtained report of the Corbett-Hanlon fight by rounds. Other news is received and posted in like manner"

The society is said to be in a fourjshing condition.

Nelson & Houses saloon had the front door broken out and various liquors stolen and the house left open. The Florence hotel was raided and entrance effected through the side door.

 The Japanese of Nome met last We'd nesday night at the Klondike ware house for the purpose of forming be- nevolent society. The name of the so- ciety is to be the Japanese Kiyodokai.

 Three men, Messrs. Madden, Bridges and Whitney, who have been wintering in the Nizina country, returned to town early this week. They report consider able activity on the part of the few men who are in the district this winter. Rocking on the benches is the princi- pal vocation, and some surprising re- suits are obtained. On Dan creek the Williams boys are said to be rocking out S20 day to the man. A number of men on Chititu are also taking out good money. The weather has been re- markedly good there this winter.-Val- dez News.
 The Inmachuk country will have a big cleanup next spring, according to- Dick Hoogendorn, one of the pioneers of that section, who left for that dis trict this morning, says the Nome Mug get. Mir. Hoogendorn reached Nome few days ago and took back with him quantity of supplies. He and "Tug" Wilson are the fortunate owners of Mo-. l below Pinnell creek, on the Inmachuk. He had been in that section since 1901. A 16-horse power boiler and engine, with a steam hoist and self-dumper, are at work on the claim. In all there are 26 steam thawers at work on the Inmachuk, and each claim owner is feeling hopeful. Among those who are steadily at work are w.. J. and R. B. Milroy, Fred Ruhl, Wolf & Knapp, John DeBuhr and the Dashley Company, be- sides number of others. Most of them have already found good pay.
 Eldorado creek miners are industri ously seeking a second bedrock. Last. winter a second bedrock was found on No. 3A, an Eldorado fraction, but the shaft filled with water and drove the men from their work. They found in fact more than two bedrocks. Several strata of pay dirt were encountered but none were of high grade. Had not the water driven them out of the work ings, they would have found the new strata profitable working. They sank deeper and deeper, with the hopes of ultimately encountering the very bot tom of the original valley, and there finding perhaps fabulous wealth. When at the depth of 275 feet, the deepest shaft was ever sunk in the Yukon, the men encountered subterranean stream and were driven from their shaft. The shaft quickly filled and poured out great volumes of water. It became what is known as the Eldorado gusher. The flow never has ceased. The government spent S50000 in con trolling the seeping water and putting a pipe over the gusher by which to regulate the stream.
