A WORD TO AN OLD FRIEND.

/
AS prohibition seems to be a hotter
issue in this campaign than even the
election of President, we give space
to few words from an old and very
lesteemed friend Uncle Jesse Bennett.
Of Mehama. He writes:
"Col. Hofer, My Old Time Friend:
! am sorry to think the parting of the
ways so near with you and me next
Tuesday. You will vote for the sa-
loon to ruin my boys, but I will never
vote for the saloon to ruin your boys
nor any other boys. Yours with well
wishes, J. r. BENNETT"
Uncle Jesse has probably never lived
in prohibition state and seen lawles-
ness and saloons multiply under a law
that there was not sufficient public SEN
timent to enforce. The journal editor
has
For five years this editor and the
whole Republican party were engaged
in a strenuous effort to enforce prohi-
bition in the state of Iowa. The eff
fort proved difficult of execution and
was abandoned.
If it could not be enforced in Iowa, |
where the dominant party, with 10O,- |
900 majority, made it cardinal prin-
ciple of their organization, how can it
be enforced in Oregon, where neither
Republican nor Democratic party en-
dorse prihibition2
The journal will say this to its old
friend: If this county carries for pro-
hibition, we shall favor the strictest
possible enforcement of the law. We
believe that is the best way to do
With any law.
The editor of The Journal was
brought up a Republican and believes
when fairly managed that party can

THE CROWDS
ARE GOING

Intense interest has been aroused in
this community by the announce
ment that Ringing Brothers'immense
circus is to exhibit in Phenix, Friday
October Z. Several big excur-
sions will go from this vicinity and
local people will be we'll represented
at the big show. Those who go from
here should make every effort to ar
rive in time to see the magnificent
new free street parade, which is given
in the morning preceding the opening
performance. Three miles of parade
glories are divided into thirty sections
and each section is a show in itself
a parade such as the world has never
seen before. In this wonderful dis
play are shown 10S beautiful dens,
lairs and cages for rare wild animals,
a herd of forty big and little ele-
plants, $50 horses, and over LOCO
people. One section of the process
sion is devoted to magnificent and
costly floats, representing Germany,
Russia, England, France, India, Per-
STA, Scotland, the United States and
other countries. The performance
that follows, and which includes the
superb spectacular production of Je-
rusalem and the Crusades, is the
most magnificent display of arenic
wonders ever presented by any amuse-
ment enterprise in America. The
menagerie is filed to OVERLOOKING
with rare beasts and birds, including
the only baby elephant bred and sue
cessfully raised in the United States,
the only rhinocaros in captivity and
the last living pair of CRATES.

DESPERATE COUKTERFEITERs.
A Trio Are Operating in This
Territory.

Reports from Southern Arizona to-
day are to the effect that a trio of
showers of counterfeit money are
working that section and have partic-
ularly in view all houses where gamb-
ling is conducted on the open. Sew
eraI hundreds of dollars of spurious
money have already reached public
channels and as yet the guilty parties
are free.
One of the operators of this game is
said to be dressed in a garb that
would indicate that he is a COW
puncher, while the other two pose as
miners.
1t would be we'll for the saloon men
of this city to govern themselves ac-
cordingly, as the superstition is that
they will come this way after sluicing
other sections in southern Arizona.
They have silver and paper money,
and a rank imitation of So gold pieces.

SANTA FE WASHOUTS.
This Time the Road is Hit by Heavy
Rains in New Mexico.

Traffic on the Santa Fe railroad
has been interrupted again on account
of big washout near Lang, and a
landslide in the Glorieta mountains.
The trouble was the result of heavy
rains throughout that section on
Thursday and telegraphic commnica-
ton, over the Postal line was com-
pletely broken, on Thursday night,
the receipt of the Journal
Miners telegraph report. All west
bound trains out of Albuquerque
were annulled on Tuesday evening
and Friday morning. 1t is a most
fortunate thing for the Santa Fe that
the washout season does not occur
all over its system.
Last spring and in the early summer
the center of its washouts was in
Kansas. Later it was in Arizona, and
now the washout season seems to
have set in in New Mexico.

mittee of the socialist party was held
in Prescott yesterday and some bust
ness transacted.
The vacancy on the ticket caused
by the resignation of Sam Foram, can
didate for treasurer was filed by the
nomination of Mr.. Bullard, a jeweler
of Jerome. Mr.. Bullard is said to be
a very intelligent and we'll posted
young man and a member of the
party remarked to the journal Miner
that he will get two votes to one
which the former candidate would re-
ceive. 1t was learned that Eugene
Godat, whose whereabouts are at pres
ent unknown, resigned from the
socialist ticket prior to his de-
parture. The vacancy has not yet
been filed but it is said that it
will shortly be filed by the territor-
ial committee of the party.
Yavapai socialists are very enthu-
siastic over the prospects for good
ote in this county. AS it is the
first time that they have nominated a
ticket they of course do not even
hope for success this year. They
however say that they can line
up and stand together, and let it be
seen what their numbers are and as
they claim to be receiving additions
to their ranks all the time, they can
make their presence felt, in two years
from now.
A member of the executive COM
mittee informed representative OF
the Journal Miner that the party will
poll from l, QUO to LOO votes in this
county this year.
The party is also organized in Mo-
have and ella counties, in both of
which they have placed full county
ticket.

THE BIC NEVADA
MINING CAMP
An Arrival in Prescott
From GOldfelds.
Mr.. Wright, Yavapai Mining Man,
SubStantiateS the General Re-
ports of It's Riches.

George Wright, whose mining inter
ests in this county are located in the
Black Rock district, passed through
Prescott early in the week, being di-
rect from Goldfieds, Nevada, the scene
of the great excitement. Mr.. Wright
returns to this section to close up his
affairs, and will return to Goldfields
inside of two weeks, where with his
brother he has secured desirable
ground in the heart of the excitement.
He relates many interesting facts of
what is in evidence there in mining,
and in speaking of the discovery does
not class it as typical western min
ing boom by any means. "They have
the Mines" he says, "to back up any
representation made, and any practi-
cal man will substantiate what l say"
Mr.. Wright says also that to fhis own
personal knowledge he was present
when an Offer of $500, 900 was made by
Butte capitalist for the principal
A-AhCg anu NLO l1dI lOObCulJ Ic-
fused it, saying that he was taking
out ore that netted him $500 a foot,
and had cleared ST, 600 in one weeks
working of the ground. Another case
was that of an offer of S165, 600 made
to miner for his 20-foot hole on the
main ledge and near the bonanza
mine of the camp. This offer, was
too refused, and i'll doing so the owner
said that while that sum was very in
viting, and that in all his life he had
never had $500 in his pocket, be
believed that large fortune was in
store for him, and he would take
chances on his ground.
Mr.. Wright says that as depth is
given each claim the surface values
do not diminish, and the character of
the ore remains free. All veins that
have been cosscutted show the same
to be over 40 feet wide, and an average
value per ton to that extent of S13 is
given. There are streaks as wide as
four feet that will run over s1UOO to
the ton. Up to the time he left the
total number of locations made aggre-
gated 200 in the immediate vicinity,
while for a radius of 20 miles from
Gold Fields every foot of ground had
been secured
The place is peculiarly typical one
of the frenzy that usually goes with
mining excitements, and everything is
fabulously high, while living is paid
for likewise at an exorbitant price.
He estimated the number of people
in the camp strung out at different
points at about 5000, and how they
are cared for was difficult problem
to solve. Mr. Wright is not of the en-
thusiastic class, but being a practical
man in mining gives it as his honest
opinion that Goldfields is destined to
be the greatest gold mining center
the world has ever Known.

Echoes From Convention.

While the recent democratic con-
vention was harmonious except the
incident, in connection with the
nomination of candidates for super
visors, there were several incidents
connected with it more or less direct
Iy, of ludicrous nature and some of
the dramatic kind.
Shortly after the arrival of the
Jerome delegation on Sunday evening
one of the delegates, and by the way.
newspaper man, met an old friend,
who follows the same profession.
They had been having a misunder-
standing at long range, and they had
not progressed very far in their con-
versation until their misunderstood
ing rsulted in their coming to blows,
the Jerome man being knocked down
and one of his eyes being BACKED.
On Monday night the same delegate
from Jerome got into an alteration.
with a portly printer of Prescott,
whose political aspirations bad been
flattened out by the convention, and
after the latter had landed one blow
on his Jerome antagonist, the con-
test settled down to a sprinting
match in which the Jerome delegate
came out a half block ahead, there
by saving another mix up.
On Tuesday afternoon the ambu-
lance corps was called into requisi-
ton, to take care of a delegate who
had been overcome with tobacco
smoke in the ball, and had to be
cared for elsewhere.
During the taIlying of the votes for
probate judge, the affair being so one
sided, that the monotony of hearing
the name Hicks, Hicks, Hicks, called
out as each ballot was inspected, in
duced sleep on the part of one of the
delegates. The delegate Immediately
in front of him was arrayed in long
tailed coat with pockets behind.
The sleeping delegate planted his
feet on the bench in front of him and
in some manner succeeded in get
ting one foot in each coat tail pocket
of his DeighbOr in front. When the /
counting of the ballot had been con- |
cluded the man with the long coat |
tails attempted to rise to move that |
the nomination be made unanimous, /
when to his establishment he found (
himself pinned to his seat, by the
pair of feet in his coat tail pockets
The incident caused an uproarious
Outburst of laughter in the immediate
vicinity, though the cause of the mer-
riment could not be seen by the dele
gates generally in the hall.
At the close of the convention a
number of democrats, who have here
tofore consi Tered themselves promi-
nent in democratic circles and who
have posed as would be leaders of the
party, could be heard to mutter, at
81 also RAM
