But attention will be turned to the mines shortly, and after month or more work will be resumed therein and the reduc- ton plant started again. Mr..

onto the office he has. He knows something about the donkey, too, and knows a man is more likely to get bumped while shifting than while sitting still and hanging onto the saddle with both hands. He doesn't mind touching leathern if he can avoid being dumped by doing so. But he has friends who want to see him handle the county cash and as he would really like the job, he will take chances. The first chance Is that he will get the democratic nomination for treas- urer, if he doesn't change his mind again. But there are two chances. While the first may win him the nomination he must buy another ticket, and a larger ones to take T lhe zee cn election.

CANDIDATES
 COMING OUT SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SHERiFF'S $ OFFICE IS WANTED BY MANY.
Indications Are That Other Offices Will Not Have to Seek
 the Men.

Now that the day we celebrate has been celebrated and sent on it's journey into the past, people are talking politics some. As usual. the signs of conflict appear to center about the office of sheriff and though there are other offices to be filled and candidates arc mentioned for all of them, active campaigning has so far commenced only for the star now worn by Mr.. Charles |. Fowler First 10 de- clare himself for the office was the present incumbent, anu close fol- lowing upon his heels come Mr. Con O'Keefe and Mr. Harry Rem shaw. Mir. O'keefe has filled the treasurer's office for tho past two years and wants d change. Mr. Renshaw has been manager of the branch wholesale house at this place for Mir. Albert Steinfeld 0i Tucson. He made his political debut two years ago, but like sev- eral other good men, did not rel ceive the amount of applause requisite 10 success, So will try again Last time he aimed at the unpretentious office of county recorder, but now aims at the big gest plum in the political pudding MT. O'Keeie, 1t is said, wishes to secure the nomination to more fully test his political strength in Santa Cruz county, with view to carrying the record into the terri- torial Cor state, more likely) com vention two years hence, 10 be properly displayed about the time congressional nominations are in order. Mr. Fowler, who now fills the office, is the first man the republicans have been able to elect to such a position since the organ ization of the county He is per fectly satisfied with his present position and does not desire q change.
 MT. s. F. Noon, who has filled the office of district attorney for the past two years, is also satisfied with his present position in life and in politics, and is willing to hold the office for two years more. Among his republican friends, so far, no opponent has appeared and none is expected.
 But the men named are all republicans. The donkey drivers are doing some talking, too. There is Mr. James Goodin, the Huachuca rancher, who is after the Demo cratic nomination for sheriff. He Is a big, strong, handsome fellow and mounted on big, strong horse, riding over the ranges after outlaws, would make q splendid picture and bring one back to the days of the western sheriff of dime novel lore. But Doc" is riding the animal that too often kicks up his heels. Like the man who rides

Died at Hospital.

Mrs. Filomena Luian, aged forty- four years, died at the Sisters hos- pital Tuesday evening. She had been sick several months, suffering from tumor, and was brought to the hospital Monday evening. Mrs. Lujan, with her daughter, Mrs. Manuela de Espinoso, came here from Tucson about five months ago. Her husband died six years ago. The daughter, Mrs. Espinoso, was taken to the hos pital at the same time the mother was taken there, and that night gave birth to daughter. Mrs. Epinoso is also a widow, her hus- band having died six months ago.

never knows into what arroyo he is going to be dumped. The donkey, at best, is a mighty poor judge of man flesh and has been known to dump good men into the gutter and walk peacefully along with a load of wood, or with just a common stick. But Mir. Goodin is not the only man who is trying to vide the unreliable beast to the star office. There is ut least one other who is taking q similar chance and he appears to be good fellow, too A man of good judgment, but one who proves by his political affiliations that men of good judgment sometimes err. Mr. George Parker of Parker's Canyon announces himself as one who will oppose Mr. Goodin in the convention. Others are mem toned, but up to the present time have maintained q silence of some sort-perhaps malicious silence, perhaps the silence of modesty. But hardly the latter. History has never yet told of q democrat who was modestly silent Except Mr. Frank Duffy, who blushes whenever his name is mentioned in connection with public office, }
 But speaking of Mir. Duffy. There was some talk of the gentle man giving himself the democratic nomination for district attorney, to oppose Mir. Fred Noon, but he says there is nothing to 1t. He wants his friend, Judge O'Connor, to fll the Yuma institution with Santa Cruz county law breakers during the next two years. He also wants to help his brother-in law, Mr. Parker, get the democratic nomination for sheriff and thinks with two such jobs on his hands he will have to be self sacrificing and abandon his personal ambi- tions. Mfr. Duffy has ridden the donkey in the past. Once the ani- mai took him to the end of the journey, but next time, all unex- pectedly, did the donkey act with treacherous perfection. One bump was enough to thoroughly con vince Mir. Duffy of the animals unreliability and now that he has brother in-law and a bosom friend riding the untrustworthy beast, he will walk behind with a club anu endeavor to keep the donkey going and at the same time help his brother-in-law and his friend maintain their seats.
 (Mr. Duffy, however, has a noble ambition of his own, but this is parenthetical and not for the public to know, just at present. He is opposed to joint statehood, he thinks, but having seen the writing on the wall, so high up that the democratic donkey can never kick it down, he is quietly studying up on constitutional matters and grooming himself. for big and important doings. Yes. Though determined not to let Arizona become a state, Mr. Duffy lis grooming himself assiduously to be a delegate to the constitutional convention. and help frame con stitution for the great state of i Arizona. But that will be men, toned later. He is keeping it quiet for the presently

Japan TO Attack China

According to ad9ices received at Vic
loris, B. G by the steamer Kanagawa
Thursday the Eastern World, German
paper of Yokohama, published sensa-
sational leading article stating that ia
pan is getting the army and navy into
readiness with view TO forcing war with
Chira two or three years hence.
The Eastern World says another war
with China would offer promising prizes,
and q pretext could be soon found. The
paper goes on to say that Japan's hope
less Indebtedness to England aud Amer
lea is driving the country TO plan an at
tack on China. BY this, the Eastern
World says, japan could exact heavy
indemnity and also make permanent the
precarious tenure of Port Arthur aud the
Liaotung peninsula. China is marked
to pay the piper for the recent war, the
Yokohama paper says, and there will be
no question of the rights or wrongs of
the case. Japan must have money,
many hundreds OF millions of money,
and war with China, which would not
only pay for itself, but would also pay
of the present debt and practically make
China the treasury of Japan, would be
popular.
