territory in this regard. He is not amenable to the mistaken assaults which have been made upon him in some quarters, both in and out of Arizona, for his attitude and action in the premises.
 We might find occasion to reproach some of the policticians and journals of Arizona for undue interference in the affairs of California in connection with the Senatorship; but we refrain. and say nothing on that score. All we ask is that the critics of Senator Bard, in and out of Arizona, take into candid consideration the actual facts in the case and persuade them selves to render just verdict, instead of the unjust verdict which some of them are clamoring to have rendered against the Senator. If they will be candid with themselves, and not make too violent assault upon the truth. Arizona, California and Senator Bard will, all of them, yet be in better position.-L. 4. Times.

claim on which the greatest amount of work has been done, of the three claims, is gold and silver ledge with a granite hanging wall and a porpbyry foot wall. It averages three feet in width and crops on rhe surface for 700 feet in length. There is a tn mel on it now in TO feet. Assays of the ore run from g.. 40 to s553 in gold. The tunnel is run on the led ge and is in ore all the way. The face is all quartz, over five feet in width, that assays s4.60 gold and three ounces sil- yer. There is one ore shoot in the tunnel l9 feet long that will average S37 per ton. Can get 300 feet depth by running this tunnel 250 feet more. The depth now is 1l0 feet. It is a quartz ledge with iron and copper sulphides. Two hundred feet lower down the hill tunnel could be run and get 600 feet depth to the ledge. This is a claim in which there is every prospect of making a mine.
 North of the above claim l, 300 feet, on another claim is 40 foot shaft, a 6 foot tunnel, two open cuts on big low grade ledge from two feet up to 10 feet in width. There has been ore taken from the shaft that went into the thousands of dollars per ton when worked thirty years ago. A big gold and silver dyke 10 feet wide that assays s4.0O gold and few ounces in silver.
 The third claim is on the bank on the Hassayampa, least fork on the Bodie road, three fourths of a mile west of the others. It has a big quartz ledge which can be traced the full length of the claim. There has not been much work done on it, 1.-two assessments). It has two feet of ore on the surface to start on that assays S8. co gold, the right formation, the right dips and the right ear marks and all that is wanted is the right party or parties to take hold and open them up.
 A half interest in this property can be obtained for very small amount of money down and very reasonable terms can be arranged for the de- velopment of the property by them.

MOhave County Rains.

Kingman, Aug. 3.
 Editor Journal Miner The great drought has at last been broken and we have had rainy spell. For two weeks past it has rained every day and some days it not only rains but it pours, yes, regular gully washers. From Blackberry to Truxton over ten miles of track of the Santa Fe road was badly washed. From three to four hundred men have been at work night and day. Today they will try to get over the break. They estimate the cost of this break to be s85, 600. It will take a month yet to make the track safe for full speed trains. The whole county is boggy and the few cattle that are left are miring down and dying. We are having a real mining boom within the past two months. Three or four hundred miners have been set to work in that time but now the ground is too soft to move the ore as teams bog down and have all laid up.

 ENTERTAINED Were Guests at MuSi= cale Last Evening. MT. and Mrs. Geo. H. Cook Furnish
 Evening of Music to Num-
 her of Friends.

MT. and Mrs. Geo. H. Cook enter tained large number of their friends at their residence on South Pleasant street last evening with a musicale which proved most enjoyable affair. Among the pleasures it afforded was the opportunity of those present to hear again the voice of an old time Prescott favorite, Mrs. Harry Heap, in song. It is pot such an old time either, when this gifted vocalist con- tributed so much to the entertainment of the muisc loving people of Prescott not so long as it seems, and those who heard her last night will bear out the asertion that during this interim her voice has lost none of its sweet ness or charm.
 Another of the many pleasant fea- tures of the evening was the part taken by Mir. Hildebran, a compara- lively new conner in Prescott and who is possessed of a most charming and highly cultivated baritone voice. On the rendering of hIs first number the applause was spontaneous from every guest and as enthusiastic as it was spontaneous and continued until MT. Hildebran responded with another selection. His other numbers were equally we'll received. The others on the programe being among the Pres colt favorites of today and being so we'll known it would be superhuous to add any words of praise for them. The programe complete follows:
 Piano duet frou Tnhauser, by Miss Helen Burmister an ;2. K. Porter
 Vocal Solo-"Cone Where the Lindens Bloom," Nil i'Idebran.
 Vocal Solo-"Charmi Marguer- ite, ' Mrs. Harry Hean

 An elegant punch was served to the guests during the interim between numbers. In addition to those pres ent from Prescott were Mrs. J. w. Doris and Miss Clarke, of Phoenix.

H0GG ON PARKER.

Governor Hogg has set all the Texas politicians by the ears because of the speech which he delivered at the state democratic convention in Houston on Tuesday of last week. Ex-Governor Hogg praised President Roosevelt and expressed contempt for Parker. He said he was going to vote for Parker, because, Parker is the democratic nominee, but" he asked, sarcasti- cally and contemptously, "who is Parker? Why, he is that Iockjawed judge who unlocked his jaw when the convention could not help itself"
 He said many other contemptuous things, among them: Harmony? By Gatlings, Pm suffocating with harmony. Let's have more discussion and less harmony, for l tell you, boys, that there is something up which calls me from my farm solitude, and I warn you of it.
 Ex-Gov. Hogg accompanied his speech with facial contortions to show his disgust He declared he differed with Roosevelt politically, but that Roosevelt was honest and cour- ageous. '
 The speech has created more of a sensation than any other delivered in Texas during the last ten years. State Chairman Lyon, of the Texas repub- lican executive committee today an- nounced that he will have the speech printed as campaign document and circulated by the thousands in and outside of Texas. Later it is stated that Ex-Governor Hogg will organize a new national political party, to con- sist of farmers and laboring men. The plan, it is understood, has the passive support of W. J. Bryan and promi- nent populists. It is said that in each state the same plan will be followed. Hogg served for two terms as Cover nor of Texas. His elevation was due to the farmers. Farmers clubs all ready have been organized in many sections of Texas. Plans are also on foot to federate the labor orgaDiza- tions.

If there are any people W ho com plain of hard times, they should re- feet for a moment that much money is beng spent for luxuries which many we'll meaning folks think could be dispensed with. Take the little state of Connecticut, as a fair sample, with a population of less than one million of inhabitants. It has long had the name of being the land of "steady habits," yet the collector of internal revenue taxes, for the year ending June 30, 1904, publishes a statement showing that he collected for beer S907, 317; for distilled spirits, sl6l, 070 {; for cigars, s19l, ,O34, a total of s1, . 250, 42l paid for taxes alone on these three articles. How much beer,
 "alcoholic food" and cigars was con- sumed is beyond estimating. It is not the fault Of any form of govern ment that such state of things ex- ists. When the individual lives as wisely and temperately as he should,
 then the times will rapidly improve.

WILSON WITHDRAWS.

Col. J. F. Wilson, present delegate to Congress, published a letter in the Courier on Monday, in which he thanks the democracy of Arizona for past political favors and refers to them as''the noblest and truest and bravest people on the foot stool of God,' and declines to become a candidate for delegate again. He says his private interests are such that they require his time and "besides, he says, "the annoyance, worry and disappointments attending the political game is not worth the candle.'' '' He adds:
 "Nothing short of a nomination un- sought and undesired, rendered by a people who have more than once an- swered my desires, could break this determination; and even then, it would have to be in a manner of call to duty. This cretainly trust shall not happen"
 There is no doubt whatever that the ColoneI's wishes will be respected, as even if he had decided to make the race he would have found a formid- able opponent in hic path in the per son of Mark Smith. Marcus has been digging political post holes and stretching the wires of his political fence for To these many days and has already secured pledged delegation of twenty seven from Graham county. The withdrawal of Col. Wilson will leave the field to him, and he will be nominated by exclamation probably at the democratic convention.

The labor question in its various phases is still very prominent, and a disturbing factor in many parts of the country. In Milwaukee Judge Lud- wig has decided that contracts made by incorporated labor unions with manufacturers, prohibiting the en- ployment of non-union working men are void. In Connecticut Judge Hatch has decided that a state law re- quiring journeymen horse shoers to be registered is unconstitutional The rage for laws to control and hedge labor will in time spend iself. The less the state meddles with honest oc- equations the better for the people.

While Editor Weedin, of. the Flor ence Blade is not yet reconciled to the action of the St. Louis conven- tion he says: "We are not yet ready to desert the democratic party. We believe the undemocratic element now in control of the national machinery of the party will be relegated to the rear by the rank and file four years hence and that genuine democratic principles will triumph in the next national convention. Error is always short lived and the errors of the St. Louis convention will prove no ex- ception to the rule. The masses who compose the rank and file of the democratic party are still sincerely and genuinely democratic and will not stand for the emasculation of democratic principles performed at the St. Louis convention by the Wall street political doctors. So long as the rank and file remains true to gen uine democratic principles so long IS there hope of repudiation of false leaders and revivication of the doc Urine of "equal rights for all and special privileges for none" and so long shall we remain steadtast to the party. If the time should come how ever, when the political views of the Parkers, the Hills, the Belmonts and the Clevelands become the accpeted doctrines of the democratic party, then we shall turn to the populists, socialists or any other party that comes nearest to advocating genuine democratic doctrines. We are not partisan to the verge of lunacy."

Democrats are counting their chickens while the eggs are still un- matched. They credit the solid south with 15l votes and then they claim Md, Va, Del, New York, New Jersey and Conn.,, giving 76 more votes, making total of 222, thus still lack ing F votes to secure ap election. They draw consolation by claiming that Colo, H., Mich, Greg, Utah and Wis, are "contestable states. 7" This may all be comforting to the op- position, but it is not in the least disheartening for Republic ans. Mary land, Connecticut and New Jersey are quite likely to go Republican, while there is no doubt about Oregon, Michigan, Illinois, or Wisconsin.

The republican candidate for gover. nor of New York, it is now known will be Elihu Root, probably the strongest, most popular, and the safest man for the position in the state. He is wealthy, well-known, as we'll as the independent voters, and !. those do not feel like turning over the state to the, democracy. MT. Root is the key to the situation. It will undoubtely save the electoral vote of the Empire state to Theodore Roosevelt. If he does this MT. Root will be in line for the Presidency in 1908.

Politically speaking it is announced that there is to be a fight all along the line, whatever that may mean. The line of sure enough republican states is very long one, and includes al- most everything except the so-called "solid south" Those who put Con- necticut, Illinois, and Wisconsin among the "disputed states.'' reckon without their host. Already the Hearst newspa oers are making fierce war upon August Belmont and Bourke Cochran, as we'll as other prominent New York Democratic politicians, and if this sort of thing continues, there will be little danger of New York state going democratic.

You might have the most at
tractive advertisements that was ever

you put it down cellar under the coal
it would never sell cents worth of

A poorly written advertisement,
poorly. displayed, in a good news

a better advertisement would do
more good, but the style of the adj
