w. K. FLORA.

In selecting this nominee for the
office of probate judge, the republic
can central committee made a happy
choice. W. K. Flora, the republican
nominee, is a native of Ohio. He
prepared for the practice of law at
Georgetown college and after gradua-
ton became a member of the bar of
Washington, D. c., where he prac-
tlced for eight years. During the
course of his legal practice there, he
had occasion to thoroughly master
probate law and procedure. Desiring
to cast his lot with the great south
west, he came to Prescott, Arizona,
several years ago and has since re-
manned here. Hon. G. A. Douglas, the
we'll known and able attorney of
Washington. D. c., who had occasion
to watch Mr.. Flora career in Wash
ington, speaks of him as "a most
promising and worthy young man. !"
Shortly after coming to Prescott,
Mr. Flora entered the law office of
Hon. J. j. Hawkins, where he remain
ed about one year, at the end of which
time, he resigned and accepted en-
ployment in the Office of Mr.. Fl. 2.
Anewalt, general freight and passen-
ger agent of the S. F. P. and P. Rail-
way company, which employment he
still retains. Since coming to Pres
colt, Mr.. Flora has made wide circle
of friends. Through his brother, F.
b. Flora, a we'll known miner of this
county, he has become widely &C
quainted among the miners through
out the county. In Prescott he is
we'll known as an honest, industrious
and capable man. His legal training
fits him admirably to perform the
duties of probate judge, and, if elect
ed, the people may be sure that the
widows and orphans will be looked
after by a man of integrity and
ability. In behalf of Mr.. Flora, it is
also to be remembered that C.. P.
Hicks, the democratic nominee, has
held the Office of probate judge for
six terms already, which, of itself, is
sufficient for change. Add to this
the fact that the republicans offer
such a worthy candidate, and the ad-
visibility of retiring Judge Hicks be-
comes apparent. Our democratic
friends who expect such an easy vic
tory for Judge Hicks, will be surpris-
ed, when the votes are counted, to
find that victory has perched on the
other side.

Interesting News From the Grow
ing Town of Mayer-The Tread
well Company and Its Bright
Future Mining Notes in General.

Mayer, Ariz., Oct. g. Editor VIM.
Deans, Superintendent of Yavapai
Gold Mining company's properties,
made short visit with us today. He
re ports the mine looking splendidly
at depth of ninety feet where he is
sinking in rich sulphide ore. The
vein is a strong one, and when the
new machinery is installed he hopes
to make it one OF the large gold pro-
ducers of the county.
The Geo. A. Treadwell Mining
company have large force of men
working on their new smelter pre-
pairing the site for additional machin-
cry which is on the way here from
the east. The same will be placed in
position under the personal supervi-
sion of Engineer McKinnon of San
Francisco who has charge of the con-
struction department of the company.
The Hackburg mine will soon be in
full operation under the foreman
ship of Prahm. The fine new hoist
will soon be in place and then in
connection with their Boggs and Iron
Queen mines, Yavapai county will
have group of pro lucers that will
make Mayer known all over the world
as the banner smelter city in the ter
ritory. The narrow guage railroad
viii soon be completed connecting the
aforementioned mines with the main
line of the railroad, when all ores
will be forwarded to the smelter here.
The Geo. A. Treadwell company
have completed their new office build
ing, and are to be congratulated upon
the taste displayed in its construc-
ton. Alphabetically speaking it is
very unique, and as an office build
ing cannot be excellent in the terri
tory.
Supt. Riefsnyder of the Lion com
pany reports his properties looking
fine. He was in for supplies. The
mines are located about six miles
easterly from Mayer, which place is
his base of supplies.
Frank GerouX has let a contract for
the erection of brick cottage, which
he will occupy with his family. Mr.

commanding position, and is one of
the most conspicuous buildings in the
line city, being visible from almost
all points.
1.-THE house is built of massive
stone, the white, cement rock so we'll
known in Nogales, and growing so
greatly in popular favor. 1t is of one
story and the ground plan is 62xSO

The presentation of each diploma was the signal for a storm of applause from the grammar school boys in the back seats, and everyone sympathiZed with the rollicking spirit which perVaded the whole house. The class of 'O5 gave a parting song of congratulation for the retiring sen lors, and then the classes of '04 and 'O5 joined in the Shell song" which clos ed the programme. Many were the proud mothers and fathers who thronged the aisles after it was over, and the smiling faces hid many a re- gpet that the little boys and girls were so fast becoming men and women.
