SHELTER TO BE FINISHED.
Arrangements rIade to Rush Com
 pIetion of Work.

4 private letter has been received in this city that conveys the excellent news from Colonel John T. Ribgy that his shelter at Mayer is to be complet- ed as soon as it is possible to get the machinery on the ground, and inside of few months at the farthest the plant will be in operation. The finan- cial difficulties met with have been overcome and it is the purpose of the company to carry out the work at once as originally outlined. The machinery IS being constructed in Denver, at which point Mir. Ribgy was a few days ago, and in his letter he stated that after returning from New York he would locate permanently at Mayer and personally assume the work of placing the machinery in place, and there would be no let up until the plant was in working order.
 All buildings have been completed for several months and all that re- mains is to install the various appIi- canoes to be used in the reduction of ores to be treated. The method is known as the POhe Croasdale system of votaliZation, and the same is espec- ially adapted to the treatment of ores that abound in this section of the southwest, previous experiments hay ing been made by this process on the character of ores to be handled at Mayer.
 1t will be the second smelter of its kind in the world, and mining men familiar with its method, say that it will be a great avenue Tn the econom- ical treatment of especially silicious products, accordingly stimulating the mines in development that are at pre- sent idle.
 The receipt of this news will be agreeably welcomed, and very much interest will follow the inauguration of the plant. Miners with good look ing prospects are to be congratulated accordingly. as at Mayer they will be accommodated with two excellent markets in smelling facilities, the we'll known Treadwell smelter also be- ing ready to blow in.

Impoverished S0il.

Impoverished soil, like impov- erished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analyz- ing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to use for different products.
 If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a tonic, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking in your system.
 There is no fat food that is so easily digested and assimi- lated as

Failed In His Scheme.

A telegram from Tucson says: A masked man with pistol in hand en- tered one of the largest saloons in the city today and ordered all present to hold up their hands. There were eight players at the card table and these were stood up against the wall. The highwayman proceeded to help him self to the coin. in sight. At this point Officer Wheeler, of the rangers, appeared on the scene and opened fire on the bandit. They exchanged sever al shots and the bandit fell wounded. While he lay on the floor he placed his pistol to his temple and fired one bull
 let, but the wound was not a serious one. The highwayman had an accom- plice on the outside of the place who fired one shot at Wheeler, but missed him. The wounded bandit is in the hospital and his wound is serious.

Another Shooting Affray.

Last nights Grown King train had for passengers from Dewey. Mrs. William Horne and an old Mexican goat herder in her employ, who were brought to Prescott for medical treat ment.
 Mrs. Horne was suffering from a slight gun shot wound on one of her shins while the Mexican was more seriously wounded, his wound being in the region of the abdomen, it heinz stated that he was shot through the intestines.
 Before taking them to the hospital Dr. Smith made cursory examination of the old man and stated that his pulse was very strong and did not in- dicate any serious abdominal wound.
 The affair which resulted in their wounding occurred on Wednesday evening about 6 o'clock at the station kept by William Horne, until two days since, when Mrs. Horne relates that he died.
 Bob Weyms, who calls himself the "Irish Lord" seems to have been mixed up in the affair, but the partic- ulars of the shooting were difficult to obtain. It seems however that Weyms was a persona non grata at the Horne mansion and was ordered away by Mrs. Horne and the Mexican. Weyms refused to move at their command and it is alleged that the Mexican flashed pistol on him which however instead of frightening Weyms, only enraged him.
 One version is that he took the gun away from the Mexican and then shot him.
 Another is that in the scuffie over the possession of the gun it was dis charged inflicting the wound on the Mexican.
 Just where the bullet came from that plowed furrow in Mrs. Horne's shin was not clearly shown from the narratives told.
 The old lady, for she is sixty years old was very indignant at being brought to town as she claims her in- juries are not of sufficient gravity to occasion a trip here but that she could have taken care of it herself. While she says she had nothing 10 do with the shooting of the Mexican.
 Constable Ed Mahurin brought them to town. Weyms disappeared after the fracas but will likely be appre- hended and brought to Prescott to ex- plain how it happened that he was not shot.

Left With Prisoners.

John Smith, the Lincoln county,
 Nevada constable, who arrested Oscar Hobson, at Walnut creek; and the two men who left Nevada with him, and who joined him in Prescott few days after Hobson's arrest, left on Tuesday evening with their prisoner, going overland on horseback. Their depart ure was kept very quite as the officers did not apply for requisition papers before leaving and did not want to take chances of being interfered with.
 When Hobson was brought out of jail

 officers had requisition papers for him.
 He was informed that they had not and that if he objected to going they would not take him until acquisition
 papers were secured which could be done in a couple of days. Hobson agreed to waive this formality so the quartette took their departure just about dark. It will take from q week to ten days to make the trip to ae county seat of Lincoln county, Eev&- da, where the crime was committed.

OUR LOYAL GOVERNOR.
He Makes an Emphatic Statement; Officially, or the Issue
 of Statehood.

The annual report of the governor Of Arizona to the secretary of the in .arior, says the territorial population
 .4s increased considerably and that the total population now is between 165, GOO and 17O.O It expresses a de- sire on the part of the people for state hood but says, "finding themselves confronted with plan to unite their tersitory with New Mexico the people of Arizona have protested vigorously and will continue to do so until they have defeated this repugnant scheme. They would desire that their common wealth remain a territory indefinitely rather than be joined with New Mexi- CO.,
 G'he governor adds his belief that the merger would not be acceptable to ths mass of the people of either terri tory.
 T'he report says that the floating in- deDtedness of Arizona. which on June 30, 1903, was 392, 341, has been wiped out and balance of s2O, S49 remained in the general fund at the close of the
 Isst fiscal year. Taxable property in the territory has gained S1, ,98l, 505 during the year. The total taxable property for the various counties is s4a, O69, 545. Substantial progress in other directions is reported.

Note From Ryan.

Jerome, Ariz., Nov. 7, Editor Jour- nal Miner-In the Journal Miner of the 2nd instant there appeared an item in the local news from Jerome that l and Wm. Nagle went to the Equator mine on political business returning on the same day.
 In reference to the above 1 wish to say that there is no truth whatever in the item so far as the political aspect of my trip was concerned. As a mat ter of fact MT. Nagle, MT. Schwartz and myself rode to the Equator to- gether and then went about our own individual business, Mir. Nagle on his, MT. Schwartz for the Pacific Mutual company and myself for the Jerome Miners Union. In connection with my trip to the Equator 1 wish to state that my errand was solely as a repre- sentative of Jerome Miners Union and 1 am sure that both of the gentlemen who accompanied me will vouch for the statement that politics were not at any time discussed. While l am not aware of the political convictions of the gentlemen who accompanied me, I wish to say for the benefit of those gentlemen and your many readers that when 1 do politics, do it as a socialist.
