ANNOUNCEMENT.

Articles of incorporation of the Journal Miner Publishing company, were filed for record on Tuesday. The company is incorporated for S25, GOO, a large portion of the stock being already subscribed. It is the purpose of this new company to succeed the Journal Miner company in the publi- cation of the Journal Miner, and it will resume publication of the daily as a morning paper commencing next Tuesday, September 2.
 It is not intended, as has been re- ported, to "run a red hot political campaign paper" but to publish a paper six days (every day except Mon day) every week in the year, and with a full associated press report.
 It will be a paper which should ap- peal to every business man in the town as we'll as to every citizen, as Prescott has grown large enough to support one good paper, and with the exception of the period, from October 6, 1902 to May 14, 1904 has not had a paper which takes an associated press report for years, and it is well known fact this is the only reliable news service in the United States.
 The expense of maintaining such a newspaper is exceedingly heavy but as a hnsiness nronosition if will nav the citizens of the town to give it such a generous support as will make it a credit to the town and to north ern Arizona.
 The present editor of the paper will retire with this issue, having DO in terest in the new corporation, but will remain in its employ, in another capa- city for a short time, and bespeaks for the new company the hearty sup port of his friends.

THE VOTERS DUTY.

Since the last issue of the Journal Miner the republican conventions have been held in Prescott.
 On Thursday the county conven- tion was held and full ticket placed in the field for county officers, the proceedings of which, together with the ticket will be found in the news column.
 The ticket is one which should command the support of every repub- lican as we'll as of every independent voter in the county. It is composed of representative citizens and the plat form pledges them to economy and business methods, two things which have been woefully overlooked during the past several years, in the ad- mInistration of county affairs, and overlooked to the serious detriment of the taxpayer.
 A sort of close democratic corpora tion has been formed in the court house, the apparent object of which is to get as much out of the taxpayer as possible for the private individual, whom the people have honored by placing him in official position.
 Two years ago the voters of the county, elected two republicans to office, E. s. Clark as district at torney, and Joe Roberts as sheriff. They have discharged the duties of their respective offices faithfully and we'll, and no word of fault can be found with them in this respect.
 It has been an unwritten law in this county among voters for years that where officials perform we'll their duties during one term, they will be given a second term, and it has be- come difficult frequently to secure a

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the county republican convention at its session last Thursday will be found below. Special attention is directed to its utteIances on the question of economy in public expenditures and particu- Iarly its pledge to reduce the fees of sheriff. Under the present law the annual fees of a sheriff amount to a snm equal to the salary paid few years ago to the president of the United States.
 We, the republican party of Yavapai county, Arizona, in convention assem- bled contemplating the high principles which have for many years past been the aim and purpose and have domi- mated the republican party, and medi- tating on the lives and achievements of its great leaders of the past who have helped to embody those great prin siples into national legislation, thereby shaping the policies and des- tiny of the republic, and considering in the light of the past, the princi- pies and purposes to which our party now stands committed, and comparing the men who today control in the shaping Jf the policy of our party and the destiny of our country, with our great historic leaders, and approving those principles and purposes, and believing our present leaders worthy of our heartiest support, we do make the following declarations:
 We approve and applaud the admin istration at Washington, and more especially and particularly that di- plomacy which has so magnified the prestige and influence of the United States Tn foreign affairs, securing to our people the control of the Panama canal, the building of which will re. suit in worldwide benefit to mankind and insure to the United States the political and commercial supremacy

The tariff doesn't seem to be much of an issue this year with the demo- crats. Last spring a New York paper said that democratic candidate wa
 wanted who should be in favor of free trade and certain not to meddle with the tariff. Judge Parker just fills the bill. In his notification speech he said he believed the tariff ought to be reduced, but as the senate would remain republican in all probably during his term, if he were elected, there could be DO change in the tariff.

A few days ago, when Judge Parker made an address to the democratic editors 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 cer- tainly very wise and conservative on his lart, since the public is gasping to know what the issues are and what Judge Parker thinks about them. As the case now stands it would puzzle a 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. But the American people will soon decide the case.

he had been "weather- -fended from all the clements of experience. |" There has never been a president who has had a larger or more extensive experience in public affairs and with all kinds of men than Theo. Roosevelt. Add to this his large executive ex. perience before he became president. And then add to all this the fact that he is college bred, and has read and written books. Where else do we find all these clements combined in one man? Some one in Europe has re- gently said that President Roosevelt is the only living ruler who has ever led regiment upon an actual field of
 battle.

It is quite wonderful what an i'm portant man William J. Bryan has become since the St. Louis conven- tion. Before that event he was scold- ed up and down by the press of the country because he did not keep his mouth shut! Now the cry is, "Come over and help us." He is regarded as vote influencing element in the campaign which cannot be dispensed with. The west and the east want to hear what he has to say. Naturally it can hardly be expected that MT. Bryan, any more than MT. Hearst, is very enthusiastic over the Hill-Bel- mont Cleveland combine.

The democratic nominee for dele gate from New Mexico is named Money. Jerry Simpson wanted the place, but the delegates to the convention thought they would stand a better chance to get out a good vote with the use of Money" Simpson was accordingly turned down for Money.
 In spite of sthe fascinating name of the nominee the democrats will have Money on their hands after election.

All men now know exactly what the policy of the government will be for the next four years if MT. Roosevelt is elected. Certainly in regard to the future is very potent factor, and will enable business men to make plans as we'll as contracts. Judge Parker can clear up the situation on his side of the house by being equally fearless, honest, and explicit. Let him state the issues as he sees them, so that the people can draw their own conclusions.

section until the completion of the mill, having sent for his wife to join him here. The Pfau company have a veritable mountain of ore of good grade and if the experiments which they have made with its treatment of the ore, should prove successful, on a large scale, it is the intention of the company to erect at very early date a plant of 1000 tons capacity as they have ore enough in sight to keep it in operation. Their experiments have been very carefully made, not only by the company itself but samples have been sent to Denver and Salt Lake also for experimental treatment and they feel assured that they have succeeded in determining the proper treatment for the ore. The operation of this 100 ton plant will demonstrate whether it is correct or not and should it save the values, the larger plant will be erected.

Our esteemed, but occasionally CT ratio democratic contemporary, the Courier, says that "the general yer dict of the Yava oai republican ticket is, very good men personally, but by no means a strong ticket. In fact, one of the weakest the party ever put up." To have put up strong ticket, according to the above logic, it should not be composed of livery good men personally, but of rounders. grafters, and the ruff-scuff of society. If "good men personally" do not make a strong ticket what in the name of heaven would? It is the personality of the individuals composing a ticket that in the aggregate composes it's strength.

ROOSEVELT'S LETTER.
tions.

Commenting on President Roose- velt's letter of acceptance the Globe Democrat has the following to say
 President Roosevelt's letter accept ing the nomination is at once an ex- posture of democratic trickiness and cowardice, a presentation of the re- publican party's work in the past and an outline of what it intends to do in the immediate future. He points out that the democrats, having abandoned most of the things that they put for ward in the past eight years, are now at loss "both as to what they really believe and as to how firmly they shall assert their belief in anything" As soon as they raise one issue they shrink from it and try to explain that they did not mean what they saId. The St. Louis platform calls a tariff for protection robbery" but

candidate to run against a second termer.
 Not only should these two men be but every man on the, republican ticket should receive an overwhelming majority.
 Let::a new deal be given all around, and should the representatives of the party prove recresnt to their trusts and fail to introduce economical methods in the transaction of the county's business, then deal with them as they deserve.
 Certainly they can do no worse than has been done for the past six or eight years.
 The territorial republican conven- tion which met on Saturday nominat- ed B. A. Fowler, a man of superior ability for the position of delegate to congress, a gentleman who is capable of doing much for the territory, and will put forth his best efforts to ac- complish all the good be can.
 His democratic opponent is man against whom nothing can be said personally. A man of learning and gentleman of polished culture.
 He has been honored by the terri tory five or six times by elections to the position he again aspires to, but his labors, if indeed it can be said that he has labored, have been fruitless.
 During the past year MT. Fowler, without credentials, other than his own personality, secured greater bene- fits for the territory than Mark Smith has done during all the years of his service in congress, and more than he could accomplish in his life time, with the same expenditure of energy which has characterized his past service.
 In plain language Mark Smith is lazy and indolent.
 He likes the salary attached to the position as it enables him to secure living of ease without work.
 It is more pleasant to him to draw a 8, GOO salary and live at ease in Washington than it is to earn living by practicing his profession.
 The people of the territory have enabled him to do this for about ten or twelve years.
 They need a man of action now, man who does things.
 Such man is B. A. Fowler.
 Every republican should vote for him.
 Every man who casts his first ballot this year should vote for him.
 Every independent voter in the ter ritory who IS bound by no political ties should vote for him.
 Every democrat who is not hide bound by partisanship, and who is more interested in the material vel fare and progress of the territory, than he is in the personal comfort of Mark Smith should vote for him.
 In fact there is every reason why his election should be unanimous. Let every man do his duty and make 1t as nearly unanimous as possible.

A report comes from Needles via the Daily Mining Record of Colorado Springs that rich (the report says fabulous) strike has been made in the Bill Williams Fork section. A forty foot ledge it says has been uncovered which shows values as high as S2300 per ton in gold with fair percentage of lead. One of the parties making the find was one of the original dis coverers of the Rand district and the other is an old Tonopah miner. The Needles correspondent says there has been a great hegira from that place to te new find.

Word has been received in Washing ton from all the parties of the Unit ed States Geological survey that are at work this season in Alaska. The survey work that has most attracted the attention of the placer miners this season is that carried on by MT. c. W. Purintgon. Assisted by Mir. Sidney Paige be is studying Alaskan methods of placer mining and their cost. Mir. Burlington reached Juneau early in June and spent several days there, examining the placer mines of the district, with special reference to their cost of operation. From Juneau be made his way inland, visiting the Atlin district. He afterward made a close study of the Klondike field where operations extending through a period of several years have develop ed some excellent methods for mining in this northwestern region. From the Klondike the party proceeded to Eagle, where two hydraulic proper ties were examined. From there they will continue their work to Circle, visiting the Birch Creek district and possibly the Fairbanks region. Later in the season they wIil go to Nome and devote a month to the careful examination of mIb, in that district.

The territorial democratic conven- tion was held in Phenix on Thursday, September 15 and Mark Smith was nominated for delegate to congress. The convention partook more of the nature of a reception to and love feast in behalf of MT. Smith than anything else, the proceedings having been all cut and dried, and ready to serve be- fore the delegates assembled. Judge A. c. Baker, in referring to the ser vices rendered by Mark Smith, spoke very disparsginly, by implication, of the present delegates services which rather ruffled the feelings of the in- cumbent who was present and heard the remarks. E. Ellinwood and J. P. Dillon, of this county were selected as MT. Smiths campaign managers, being elected, respectively, chairman and secretary of the territorial con- mittee.
