POLITICAL UNSELFISHNESS.

That republicans in this territory are sincere and unselfish in strenuous ly combating for separate statehood must remain an established fact.
 Granting that democrats are opposed to joint statehood, one of then reasons for this is that they confidently be- lieve that Arizona is democratic. It is an acknowledged fact that with New Mexico and Arizona combined as one state, the republicans would con- trol things absolutely, elect United States senators and congressman and state officers. Democrats know this.
 But devotion to the territory, love of her identity and desire for separate admission as a state is so strong and powerful and so deeply imbedded in all republicans that they are willing to sacrifice political supremacy that Arizona may not be wiped from the map. Democrats can not have such disinterested feelings on this momen- tous subject. Arizona democratic and the offices arouse considerable of.the enthusiasm of our political opponents.

A POLITICAL SAVANT.

Andy Lancer, the we'll known resi- dent of this section, has earned the distinction of being an infallible po- litical barometer, and from sizing up political convention in what it is going and is not going to do, he calls the turn invariably months ahead. Nearly one year ago he told the boys that Parker was the nominee, and he was snapped up with many bets, all of which were covered, and Andy can now live in the city in ease and comfort accordingly. He is out again in his betting garments, and has few gold notes for the Parker boys to get onto, and seems to feel distressed that there is no inclination for the democrats to support their nominee simply because he wants to bet against him. Andy has now drifted to political avenue of discussing the territorial issues, and while he IS not betting on Mark Smith, and it is very hard to tell whether or uOb u6 VIII NOlO TUT OhlGis AC lo speaking more about Smiths candi- dacy however than he is praising Fowler, saying that the ideai of the people being bombarded with Smith is very humorous, as that gentleman and his stewardship is so we'll known as not to be given any more thought or consideration whatever. On the other hand Mir. Lancer says that the people.ot Arizona and especially so of Yavapai county should watch that man Fowler If he goes to congress, for there is every probability that every wet guIch that has a stream trickling down it will be damned up and then there will follow a droUth such as has never before prevailed in this section. There is also liable to follow sthe draining of all subterranean streams through the boring of artesian wells, and a general shaking up over the old

THE EBR|T|SHER
 IS |MPULSIVE lie Jumps at the Mythical and SmOtherS Himself
 With War Paint.
A Reported Hitch in Negotiations With Russia is Associated to the Release of the Baltic Fleet, and the War Feeling is at the Frenzy Point in London.

London, Nov. 1. Negotiations be- tween Great Britain and Russia look
 ing to the settlement of the North sea
 affair ares progressing favorably and
 there is not the slightest danger oi friction arising between the two gov
 ernmeDts. The constitution of the in
 ternational commission under the Hague convention is on the verge of a settlement. In spite of these pacific conditions Great Britain today expert enced war panic that can only be compared to panic created October 3,
 when news of the sinking of the traw-
 lers in North sea was received. Not for years have so many alarmist re-
 ports and flaming etxras flooded Lon- don. The excitement started early in the day when newspapers announced the departure of the Russian Baltic squadron from Vigo. The public was not in possession of the information cabled by the associated press to the United States that only the officers concerned in the firing on the trawlers would be detached and jumped at the conclusion that the Russians had brok- en faith by not detaining the vessels involved in the affair. On top of this came a wild report of tremendous &C., tivity at Gibraltar, the news reaching a climax when the report came that the British fleet had cleared for ac- tion. Finally the foreign office was overrun by reporters, some of whom brought rumors of fighting between the two fleets. When all London was in tense state of excitement the for eign office decided to issue statement which set at rest wild rumors. The statement announced that the sailing of the Russian fleet was no surprise, that Russian officers had been left be- hind to testify in the examination, that negotiations are progressing look ing to the international commission's The general public however went to bed here tonight firm in the conviction that it would wake up to hear that Rojestvensky was at the bot tom of the sea.

the Gold King Mining company, came
 in from the Bradshaw mountains on
 Friday evening. He says that good progress is being made in running the
 cross cut tunnel into the side of the mountain, a distance of over one hun dred feet having been completed. The face of the tunnel at this point, is be-
 tween seventy and eighty feet from the surface, and is nearing a ledge which has very prominent outcrop- pings on the surface. The objective point of the tunnel is ledge which has very prominent croprings on the surface and from the ore of which good assay values have been obtained. A shaft has been sunk on the ledge to a depth of about twenty feet from which good ore was also taken. The tunnel is expected to strike this ledge at a depth of about three hundred feet and it is hoped to encounter some good ore in it. The ledge runs Tn a northerly and southerly direction and the tunnel being run in a westerly di
 rection, will strike the ledge at right angle. By drifting south on the ledge from the point of intersection with the tunnel depth can be gained very rapidly owing to the slope of the mountain to the north and beneath the apex of the mountain, about 2O00 feet south of the tunEel, drift run on level with the tunnel would be up- wards of 1000 feet below the surface. Ore bodies which are supposed to exist on this ledge can therefore be worked very economically through this tunnel.

The Election of "Pap" Cline Should be Supported
 WhOIesOmely.
For Over a Quarter of a Century a Taxpayer, and a Candidate Who is Substantially Identified With YaVapai-Is the LabOrer Worthy of the Hire?

The candidacy of W. A. Cline the more it is known to the people, the better is it received. When man is endorsed for the responsible position of treasurer of a county of the rating YavaDai county enjoys, and that too by the republican party, there is more than the personal qualification of the man behind such an action. The principles of the party are reflect ed in the mans integrity, and in this respect there is to be weighed and considered the support of that party to the nominee, in efficiency, honesty and capability. In other words this organization IS behind the man, and the party is behind the county in de- manding from its nominee a pure and conscientious performance of the duty the office calls for. We believe then that all things considered, the selec- tion of this man for this office should be considered on the broad and faith ful plane of political fidelity, as we'll as financial security, for the official who is to support the distinction of such a nomination must necessarily be not only a substantial representa- tive of the people, but likewise must be known above all things as true and conscientious citizen. Mir. Cline has been a resident of this county for over twenty five years, and from the beginning of that residence to the present time, so we'll established has he become known, so firmly identified is he to the welfare of the county, and so bona fide is his citizenship to be considered, the people cannot make any mistake in selecting him as the channel through which their financial interests are to be entrusted. We be- lieve in rewaIding the character of men Mir. Cline represents in the posi- tion he seeks, the longer they stay cnly the better known are they. For this reason care should be taken in filling the office of treasurer, and fay oritism should not give way to integ- rity, personality to efficiency, and partisan ship to citizenship. MT. Cline is past the middle age of life, is not novice nor an upstart in grasping the mature considerations the position de- mands of him, but is fortified behind keen perception of jealous regard to all people alike and especially the vii tai one of the peoples money. There is DO occasion for the taxpayer to go to any other channel than him to handle its money, and we believe that he willIbe wholesomely supported for the office because he is legitimately entitled to it.

system of the past is in all probability inevitable in all industrial channels.
 MT. Lancer views "with alarm the election of Fowler, saying that as he is so we'll stereotyped and accustomed to the old congressional doings he is quite ready to undergo such shaking up through the election of delegate like Mir. Fowler is typical of, when it comes to working so earnestly as is said of him. While Andy is not bet ting any money as yet on the result, he is deliberately handling his intel lectual abilities in the direction of considering what will really happen if Fowler is elected, and is paying DO attention whatever to what is to be expected of Mark Smith, as that ques- tion is foregone one.
