MAKING DESERT HAY
Mining and Agriculture at Martinez
 and ThereabOut.

Dr. O. L. Geer. who was in Phoenix Thursday. returning to his home in Martinez yesterday morning, is so elat- ed over the prosperous conditions pre- vailing in that part of the country that he could hardly find time to talk poll tics, and he is a pretty good democrat. too.
 He says the deserts around and west fo Martinez look like an eastern mea- dow and if an Illinois farmer were to find himself suddenly in that section he would think he was on his native prairies only that the grass in many places would be better than he ever saw before. He says there are between fifty and a hundred men on the desert west of Martinez. engaged in making hay and the music of the mower is heard over a broad expanse that two months ago would not have furnished green food for a rabbit.

a mark of insanity for Russia to send her western navy to the east. Vladivo- stok will be frozen in before the fleet could arrive there, even supposing it possible to elude Admiral Togo. And equally important, it seems impossible that Port Arthur could hold out until the arrival of the Baltic warships. Moreover. granting that the combined Russian navy might defeat the Japan csc fleet. and granting that the Rus sians might fight their way into a refuge at Port Arthur, 1t would be merely to hand themselves over to the Japanese army. For 1t will not be long. in any event, before the Japanese are able to drive all Russian warships from the harbor or force them to self destruction. With no friendly harbor in sight in all the Pacific, the Russian navy will not undertake this year to reach eastern waters.
 And so the Japanese may safely wait for famine to place the Gibraltar of the east in their hands.

of New York, has contracted for POO tons of hay. some of which will be stacked at Martinez, and the rest at points along the road between there and Quartzsite.
 The Amalgamated company. he says. is certainly rushing their mining and associated enterprises. They have got a big warehouse and supply depot at Martinez and have a number of big freight teams engaged in hauling sup plies to Quartzsite. They have 5S head of stock thus employed. The company intends to erect a 120 stamp mill on its property eventually though at first it will put up but sixty stamps. A plant of this size has been ordered and some of the machinery is already arriving Both the machinery and other mer- ehandise, including lumber. is coming in carload lots. He says the company must now be employing between 15O and 200 men.
 The moto- car designed to be used in handling freight between Martinez and Quartzsfte has not yet arrived and there seems to be some delay, but the company is still at work in fix ing the grade of the freight road to ac- commodate it.
 The Socorro mine, says Dr. Geer, is now working a good force of men. un- der the foremanship of MT. Quinn. Sup erintendent Smith being also on the ground now.
 Dr. Geer is himself crowding work on the Mineral Belt property which lies just over the Yuma line. He has eight men employed which is all he can work to advantage in the shaft The company he represents also has two fine properties in the Gilt Edge and Oregon groups, both of which are in this county. Each of these groups now has ore enough in evidence to start a ten stamp mill and the Mineral Belt has sufficient ore for a twenty stamp mill but it is the judgment of the com pany to spend al least a year or two more in development before building reduction plants and in the meantime hope and pray for the building of . railroad through that section.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. SEPT. IT. 1904
At Prescott Today.

The delegates to the territorial re- publican convention will meet a cor dial welcome in Prescott today. They will find every facility for transact ing their business, and they will be among friends. Prescott was glad to get the convention, of course. but af- ter they have been in the mountain city a day, the delegates will agree that they have been even more fortu- nate than the town favored by their presence. For 1t is a privilege to see the Prescott of today.
 Arizona is of such a vast area that the citizens of a given locality have but an inadequate idea of what Is go- ing on elsewhere in the territory. It is safe to say that most of the dele gates will be astonished today when they behold the wonderful city that has grown up on the site of old Pres colt since the great fire of four years ago. They will see finished business blocks and dwellings. and buildings under construction. which would be pointed to with pride in any eastern city. In short. the modern Prescott will be a revelation.
 It is a fine thing. therefore, that the territorial convention meets at Pres colt. Leading men from all parts of the territory will have an opportunity 10 see tangible proofs of the solidity of one of Arizona's greatest mining counties
 Nor will the delegates as republi- cans be i'll at ease in the mountain metropolis Although nominally dem ocratic county, Yavapai in the last two congressional elections has carried the republican banner ahead of every other county. The tremendous majori- ties rolled up for N. O. Murphy in 1900 and for R. F. Morrison in 1902 showed how ready the people of Yavapai are to respond to able leadership on the part of the republican party, and those ma jorities proved as nothing else could that the people of Yavapai are loyal to Arizona's best interests.

Level Headed and Honest.

A writer in Harper's Weekly, in tell ling of the nomination of the demo- cratic candidate for governor of Mis- souri, begins in this way
 Folk of Missouri is not yet thirty five ears old. Four years ago he was an unknown lawyer, whose friends said that he was level-headed and honest. This is the capital which got for him a nomination that did not necessarily mean election. for his predecessor was not of the Folk party, and there were hints that Folk would better continue
 to look after the practice of law" This young lawyer. considered as '1evel-headed and honest" was elected circuit attorney of St. Louis, and the world knows what he has done since. He is now in direct line of promotion from an office involving but little sal ary ana no end of work to the highes. position in the gift of the people of his state. And his capital was honesty and sincerity. The first election of Folk and his nomination for governor would indicate a growing sentiment | that the qualification for a faithful and effective public servant should be that he is honest. Folk has not come to the fore because he could control a precinct or a ward, or because he could throw" so many votes as he wished by the turn of his hand He has not been advanced because he en- gagged in bribery and other rascally practices of the politicians. He was considered honest, yet a coterie of dis honest men put him in public office, expecting to make use of him.
 They were deceived, and Joseph w. Folk is just as honest in office as he was out of il. Yet, we hear on every side of men being chosen for public office because they are dishonest and because they take part in fraud, bribery and corruption. and because they are willing to step into power by rewarding those whose evil practices determine the result O: an election.
 Thus it is that Folk today stands forth as an example to ambitious young men who discover that an hon. est man can occasionally get into office and thus succeed in doing no end of good. It is far better to be Joseph W. Folk, the young district attorney of St. Louis. whose name and fame have gone around the world, than to be the pliant tool of a corrupt body of scheming politicians.
 The action of the democrats of Mis- souri should encourage the citizens of every community to throw their strength against those who seek pub lie office on the ground that they are | smart politicians, and because they do not shrink from violating every law made and provided for the protection of the ballot and to prevent the loot ing of public offices. Missouri demo- crats have recognized the merits of an honest man.
 Voters in all sections should stand firm and demand that only hon. est men shall serve them in public off, ces.

To Reduce Port Arthur by Famine.

The Japanese minister to England is quoted as saying yesterday that no further efforts will be made to take will be made on famine to force the Russians to surrender. The situation warrants belief in the minister's state ment Famine is now the most ef- fective weapon the Japanese can eH- ploy against the beleagured city, and the ultimate result is not open to ques- ton. While fighting may be expected to go on, there is no reason why the Japanese should continue to hurl them selves against the Russian earthworks. The new plan has the, merit of con serving life, and it is known that the Port Arthur garrison is already re- duced to such straits for food that the end cannot be long delayed.
 Military critics in this country and Europe have found fault with Japan's efforts to take Russia's great strong hold by assault, and have pointed to the lavish sacrifice of life by the Jap anese as indicating a reckless disre- gard of the principles of scientific war fare. They have argued that the prop CT way to take Port Arthur was by a close blockade on land and sea and a reliance on one of wars oldest wea- pons-starvation. But the Japanese, in their numerous and costly assaults have not been prompted by any desire t0 make a spectacular display of their galor. They have been frantically anx- leus to capture Port Arthur in a hurry . for two reasons: First, to get posses sion of the port and we'll defended har- Dor. and thus exclude Russia's navy . from any base but Vladivostok in the Q easfs second, to release General Nogi's Agmy from its task in order that il might reinforce the troops operating against Kuropatkin.
 In reality, Russla's Baltic fleet, or the other side of the earth. has forced Japan to sacrifice thousands Of heI best soldiers in assaults against Port Arthur. It was imperatively necessary for the Japanese to capture the port before the arrival of the Baltic squad ron in eastern waters. For four months reports were telegraphed from Cron. stadt at intervals that the Baltic feet would sail "in a few days" JapaT was kept guessing. whether by Russian design or on account of inability of the Russian government to decide what tC do with her Baltic warships.

A SCULPTOR TO BE JUSTIFIED.
New York May See Blondi's Long Dis
 cussed "SaturnaIia" After All.

After all the trouble there has been Sculptor Biondrs group. "Saturnalia. 2" is likely to be shown at the Metropol- itan Museum of Art after all. The Ma tional Sculpture Society has withdrawn its objection to it. and there is now nothing against the fulhllment by the trustees of their contract with Biondi. The suit contemplated by the sculptor has not gone very far and is now likely to be withdrawn, and the public will in all probability have an opportunity Of seeing a work which has created an International discussion.
 Several clements have combined to make the exhibition of the work possi- ble in the museum. The trustees of the museum as a body never objected to the exhibition of Biondis group. IL had never occurred in their entire ex- perience that they disagreed concern ing the introduction of a work of art into the museum until the ''Saturnalia'' came up for discussion.
 Then Samuel Putnam Avery object ed The remainder of the trustees real ly say there is no reason for it's exclusion, but as MT. Avery was known to have a very superior judgment regarding art | Tn general they were inclined 10 think | that he might see a flaw and a fault which they did not see, and, having been harmonious on all other matters | before, they were inclined to agree with him regarding the group. To MT. Av- ery's objection was afterward added the pronounced objection of the Ma tional Sculpture society. This seemed to settle the matter.
 | Since that time MT. Avery has died l The sculpture society's objection has been withdrawn and 1t is prophesied as "a moral certainty" that the work of art will be placed where those who have been in favor of It's being shown say it can well be placed without inn propriety and with justice to the artist The fact that an agreement was ac- tually entered into between Biondi and the trustees is considered as adding to | the likelihood that it will be shown.
 The men who have chung to Biondi
