Recently the Tonopah papers de-
nouneed Congressman Van Duzer for
writing letter making alleged false
claims for the New England Tonopah
Mining Company, and which was used
in a prospectus issued by the company.
In few weeks Van Duzer sent COM
munieation to the Tonopah papers
denying that he wrote letter BOOM
ing the company or was connected
with it in any way This week Dun
can B. Harrison of the New England
Company occupies page in the Tono-
pah sun making Congressman Van
Duzer out a liar. He says Van Duzer
not only wrote the letter in question
but many additional letters regard

its sale, and he has the letters in the
handwriting of the slippery Congress

Cleveland's Influence.

Mr.. Cleveland has endorsed the
nomination of Judge Parker, but he
has done it in such way as to JUS
tify the Judge in praying to be saved
from such friends. Instead of reioic-
ing that Mr.. Parker's election would
rid the country of Imperialism, reduce
the army, queneh the war-like spirit
which the President has engendered
and remove the race question from
politics, Mr.. Cleveland insults the
loyal Democrats by talking about a
return To sanity. and enlarges upon
the Judges telegram. Mr.. Cleveland
seems more anxious to turn the cam
paign into a vindication of himself
than 10 contribute toward Judge Par
ker's election Vim. j. Bryan.

Governor Sparks is out of place in

as the party nominee is in doubt as
the Governor is really a resident of

Good News.

1t will be good news TO our readers
TO learn that the starting of the smelt-
er is not to be further delayed The
fact, for such it now is, will stimulate
trade, open up mines and induce
capital to invest in real estate here.
Trade has been, for some obscure
reason, unusually quiet in Gardner
vile this summer. But with this
latest bit of news every branch of
trade should waken from its
lethargy. Especially viii it act as a
stimulant TO the mining industry
Agriculture and mining go hand in
hand; one depends upon the other.
For that reason the successful work
ing of the smelter will be doubly bene-
fetal to Douglas county. The mere
fact that it is going to start up will be
an incentive for miners to prospect
their claims, knowing that the develop
ment work will pay for itself. In this
way Pine Nut will be made to Weld
her treasure. The fact that the stock
is all held by local people is also i'm
portant. What money is made will
be retained for the local channels of
trade, and viii 90 toward the upbuild-
ing of other industries in Douglas
county. Taking everything into con-
sideration, it would seem that 1.-THE
people have every reason for lending
a helping hand to the new industry.
1t is bound TO be a big factor in
Douglas development.

The Reno journal is thrown into fits
over the resignation of Judge Parker
from the bench and lauds him to the
skies, while it goes into commissions
because Fairbanks does not resign
from the Senate.
The Democratic editors have for
gotten how Grover Cleveland held
onto the Mayoralty of Buffalo until
he went into office as Governor and
then held onto that job until it was
time to prepare for his Inauguration
as President. The dear old Journal
to be consistent should ask John
Sparks to resign as Governor because
he is a candidate of his party for
United States Senator. Be consistent,
but not foolish.

Both Col Griffith and MT. Daniels came to town yesterday morning and called on the governor. Soon after that it was given outh that MT. Daniels would succeed to the superintendency of the prison and would take charge on the first.
 The resignation of Col. Griffith was submitted some time ago. He gave as his reason in presenting it that he was extensively enga ged in mining business and his affairs had reached such a stage that they demanded his personal attention. Among the properties with which he is connected is a large group of claims south of Casa Grande. Pro lessor J. W. Prout, the we'll known mining engineer and expert, is associ- ated with him and lately they entered into an arrangement by which they would receive large sum of money to be expended in the development of the property.
 Before the governor took action on the resignation he sent for Mir. Dan iels, who came here about two weeks ago The question of his succession was talked over and at first MT. Daniels was disposed to decline the position on the ground that he was tied up with partner in mining and ranch enter prises in Mexico. At that time no de- cision was arrived at but later MT. Dan iels informed the governor that he would accept the superintendency. He at once left for Yuma to acquaint him. Self with the affairs of the prison. He and Col Griffith came from there to- gether. Col. Griffith left for home last night. Mir. Daniels will remain in town today and will leave for Yuma tonight and take charge next Saturday.
 Col. Griffith has been superintendent of the prison for the last two years and has been one of the most efficient officials in charge in the history of that institution.
 MT. Daniels is we'll known through out the territory and the southwest. At the outbreak of the war with Spain he enlisted in an Indian Territory troop organized to become a part of the Rough Riders. He served in the Cuban campaign with President Roosevelt. who mentions him in the most favora- ble terms in his book on that famous campaign.
 Very soon after the presidents access sion to office he appointed MT. Dan iels United States marshal for this ter ritory but the appointment was hung up in the senate and subsequently, withdrawn.

IN POLICE COURT
The Monday CIean-up Was Rather
 Larger Than Usual.

Recorder Thomas had a full house yesterday afternoon at court time. All the reserved seats were taken and many iI. the audience were fortunate in getting standing room. It was all curiosity though for there was nothing out of the ordinary police court pro ceedings except three youths who were brought before his honor for a judi cial lecture.
 These three boys who were picked up by the officers at the request of F. w. Stechan, manager of the Hardwick theater, were only representative of numerous party of boys who have been annoying the theater management by disturbances in the alley alongside ths theater nearly every night for the last week. They play with each, yell and talk loud, throw stones and China ber- Ties and do a lot of little things that separately would amount to nothing. but that collectively is an annoyance both to the management and patrons of the playhouse. Requests to behave themselves were unheeded and the of ficers were finally appealed to. The recorder gave them a. good lecture and dismissed them. saying that he propos- ed to speak to their parents about their conduct, as all are of good families. but he promised them severe punishment if they were brought before him again.
 John Morand. the good natured Irish man arrested the day before for va grancy, made fine talk for himself but the best he could get was a ten day sentence.
 Charles Parker arrested on a similar charge admitted that he was broke and had been begging but said he was look ing for work and was no hobo The court decided though that about twen- ty-five days in jail would fatten him up little and encourage him to get

This proclamation is under six head
ings. The first warns the Inhabitants

Second, Russian and Chinese in
terests are declared to be Identical;

terminate them;if they do not assist in
this they also will be treated as rob-
bers.
