FROM what mas been learned from
borings made for water, 1t seems
probable that the bottom of the old
drift will be reached at something
like forty feet below where the deep.
er shaft had penetrated at the time
of our visit. At this depth it seems
altogether probable that good supply
of water of good quality will be
struck. This is equivalent in any
farming locality to a moderate gold
mine.
1--WE accidentally stumbled into q
creamery meeting while calling to
shake hands with friends at the court
house. AS the meeting adjourned it
was reported that they had a goodly
sum pledged toward establishing a
creamery. and quickly the converse.

the prospects. Asked as to our opin.

in Kidder county. we answered as

if they kept on with the very sensible
move to establish creamery and kept
on tilling the soil and raising stock,
that they would certainly find gold,
and that in sure epaying quantities
Asked further whether we thought
they had better go on with the dig.
ging in the shafts. we replied yes, by
all means. for a good supply of good
water would probably be struck. and
that is always important and valuable
in fertile farming district where
creamerics and stock-raising pay we'll.
"If there is any gold In the raw
state buried in the earth in this part
OF the world it IS as likely to be found
at the bottom of the old drift as any,
where, and this might add o little to
the fun of digging. But the real
wealth Of Kidder county lies in its
fertile soil and good water. When
these are fully used the gold which is
now locked in the rich soil will be
forthcoming In checks from the
creamery and the stock buyer and
the elevator man. If one is looking
for pay dirt, he can find it in Kidder
county.
Cold mining at Steele has received
a check owing to the shafts being
flooded with water In the Elliott
shaft the water is twenty-five feet
deep. When the augur had reached a
depth OF ten feet water was struck,
and when the augur was pulled out
the flow was so rapid that J. C. Eli.

There is little doubt but that the

gold mine all by itself. as the supply
of water Is abundant. The water at

suspicion that Our animals were un-

He announced that the department
was Soon to take up the matter of ed
ucating the farmer to breed better
stock in all lines. He said that one
thing that would prove beneficial to
the department was that when a dis
case appeared in farmers cattle the
owner should at once report it to the

take steps to stamp it out.

Bisbee daily review., 1904-07-13

this particular ranger was here for a couple of weeks in June. Then he was detailed for service in your city during the Fourth of July celebration. Therefore, he is no more a Naco rang CT than a Bisbee ranger, and further more, if you will peruse the payrolls of the c. c. c. Nj. Co. you will find that Mir. Kidder has been months in Bisbee to days in Naco. and graduated from Bisbee to the ranger service. We wish further to state that Mir. Kid der's conduct while at NacO has al ways been that of an officer and a gentleman
 In conclusion will state that We are opposed to the use of Colts revolvers used as a policemen's club and will support the Review in it's efforts to have this custom terminated and the offenders severely punished There are others-go after them and no make a scape goat of Kidder, and above all, don't mix up little old Nacc in your Bisbee brawls.

AN ESTIMATE
 OF JUDGE PARKER.

As the real heart of a man Is known 10 his friends and neighbors, so is his bTain-the bent of his mind. his habit of thought and principle of action. his character and capacity - known to those who have been intimately associ. ated with him for years, as have Judge Parker's brethren in the Court of Ap- peals.
 Judge Denis O'Brien, who sat with Chief Judge Alton B. Parker for seven years on the bench of our highest court, says that in personal intercourse be is the most kindly and courteous or men'-that he is "a strong. broad. elear-minded lawyer"-and that with a trained mind and ample learning he possesses in addition the supreme qual- ihcauon for a great judge; he loves justice and hates iniquity.r
 Judge John Clinton Gray testifies 70 Judge Parker's private virtues. iud:. cal temperament and abilities. and his wonderful tact in dealing with men 9 and insists that he has acted wisely n refusing tc pronounce upon the questions of the day or to make him. selt conspicuous as an applicant for the nomination as president.
 Perhaps even more weighty is inc estimate of Judge Yam, a Republican He has been associated with Judge Parker for ten years, and says of him: The strongest characteristic of his mind, in my opinion, is it's absolute fairness and impartiality. I never ob- served that he knew person or party while acting as Judge" Could there De finer tribute than that?
 Significant at this juncture in view of recent events at Washington. is Judge Vann's testimony that Judge Parker believes in a thorough seDara- t!on or the functions of the three de paTtments of government in a free oountry-the executive, the legislative and the judicial. He has a profound reverence for the law. and believes in a strict obedience of law, and that each of those departments should be compelled to keep within it's own sphere as defined by the Constitution" |"
 Judge Yam closes his tribute to Judge Parker by saying:
 His entire judicial career, com mencing as Surrogate in the county of Ulster. continuing as Justice of the Su- preme Court. sitting as trial judge and in the Appellate Division, and his record in the Court of Appeals, all show power, modesty, learning, strength of character, independence, conservatism and soberness of views, and every step in his judicial life, 90 far as known to me, has reflected hon. CT and dignity upon the position that he fills.
 Tt is only because this is so that l..
Bisbee daily review., 1904-07-13

as a Judge of the Court of Appeals, ie- part from my usual custom and .cei that it is due that I should speak at this time"
 Coming from a Republican Judge noted for his legal learning and pene- trsting mind. this picture of Judge Parker will inevitably suggest to thou sands of voters, irrespective of party affiliations, that he has depicted man and a character that would be oi immeasurable service to the nation ir the Presidency.

JUST 4 MAN
 OF EVERY DAY BUILD.

While the name of Judge Alton B. Parker has filled such great space n the public discussion and in the pub lie press for some months past the quiet repose of the Chief Justice of New York at his country home at E5o- .pus.. and his unremitted attention 10 his official duties have made a strong impression upon the people of the country. It has rarely happened that any one placed in the same position has preserved such d!gnifed abstin ence from every form Of solicitation for the nomination to high office Whatever the result of the convention at St. Louis, he will have shown him self to have merited the good will which he has attached to himself in the preliminary canvass by the mani festation of such a spirit as has led him to decline 10 lower the dignity Of Judge by the tactics of mere politi- clan. It seems, indeed a recurrence of the better days of the Republic, when high office sought the man, in- stead of being solicited and struggled for with all the arts Of the professional politician.
 Judge Parker, though long prom nent in New York, is but just past his ffty-second year, having been born reared and educated in Cortland, x. Y. He became Judge of the Supreme Court nearly twenty years ago. and has since 1898 been Chief Justice of the Court or Appeals, the highest judicial tribunal in the state. He is both men tally and physically a vigorous man, residing on a farm and finding recrea. ton from the cares and duties of off cial lie in the quiet pursuit of agricui- ture. He not only directs the mar agenent of the farm. but when his lei sure permits lends a hand in Ire healthful work IL can not be charg ed against him that this is done for the purpose of popularizing himself in the interest of his official tenure, as the :erm of Judge of the Court of Ar. pea1s is fourteen years, and he has not served out half of it. It has no rela- tion 70 the presidential canvass, as it has been his practice since before he was of eligible age. It must there fore be ranked with the same spirit which led Gladstsne, when free from his active mental labors, to find recre ation and exercise at Hawarden in his forest with his ax. There is no dema- gogy about it, but simply turn O. mind which enables him to find diver sion from mental work in useful exc-- else On his farm, enjoying at the saNe time the society of his family.
 What q long breath of relief the American people would take to have n the White House a man of such sim pie mold, to whom duty and not ambi- ton would be the sole impulse in the discharge of the functions Of his office
