is this valley the only section where sized apples. peaches and pears, of the finest quality and coloring are grown in the valleys of the north. and espec- tally is this true of the Verde valley. Literally stuck into the mountain side, high above the Verde valley and over looking it is the town of Jerome, the home of Senator Clark's famous mine. the United Verde, one of the greatest copper mines in the world. The United Verde property consists of more than 200 acres of land. on which the mining shafts. vast smelters and ore roasts are located. Nineteen years ago Sen ator Clark paid $26.000 for a controlling interest in this mine, and it is claimed that he is now receiving from it a monthly income of $500000.
 Rich copper deposits are found in many parts of the territory. The Cop per Queen at Bisbee has produced more than $50.000.000 in copper in the past fifteen years. With seemingly an unlimited amount yet to be mined, the Globe district has produced $12,000, 900 in copper. At Clifton there is d copper mining district covering an area of more than forty square miles. It is estimated that during the past twen- ty-five years (estimating the value at 10 cents per pound), the larger mines of Arizona have produced $160 900, ,0G0 ill copper.
 There are also many rich gold and silver mines. In sixteen years the Vul- ture mine produced $16.000, 900 in gold The Congress, which is now on the 3000-foot level, has a record of $775, ,000 a year for a number of years. In five years the Octave produced more than $2,000.0OO in gold. The Big Bug and Lynx Creek. districts, near Prescott have yielded about $3,OOO, 900 in gold, one-half of which was obtained by placer mining. The silver mines at Tombstone have yielded more than $S0,000,000 and are still producing. The Peck yielded $1,2OO,00O silver in three years. The Tip Top has produced $1I,- OO,000.
 Probably no one citizen has done more for the advancement of the terri tory and the development of it's min eral wealth than Frank NJ. Murphy, of Prescott. president of the Santa Fe Prescott and Phoenix railway, and one of the big mine owners
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars are expended annually in the construc- tion of new railroads.

SAN FRANCISCO, october THE
sports of Honolulu are clamoring for
some big league baseball, and if salts
factory arrangements can be made the
teams Of the Pacific Coast League will
make a pilgrimage to the islands next
season and show the kanaka tossers a
few. The matter has been submitted
to President Bert by L. A. Wolff, the
Spalding representative, and if the
head Of the league likes the idea as
well i'm a few months as he does now
it will be fixed up.
Wolff returned from Honolulu a cou-
pie Of days ago. While there the
sports Of the island city came to him
and informed him that they had a
team that could make any nine i'm
the country look like a bush layout.
They said that they wanted to prac-
tice on some of the Pacific Coast
League teams next year and asked
Wolff to arrange the schedule.
Wolff asked them about financial ar
rangements, and the Honolulu men an
swered that they would raise S25 900
to bring the Pacific Coast teams down.
Each nine would receive $4,000. which
would be more than enough to pay
the expenses of the trip. The prono-

TWO MEETINGS


and natives All were Hawaiians and
all We're Americans.
At Liliha street the Republicans held
another meeting, which attracted a big
crowd. David Kama acted as chair
man. John PaOo, James Bicknell, j.
Kalana and d. Kalauokalani, Jr. were
the first speakers. Chulingworth fol-
lowed. He supported the straight ticket
in emphatic terms. He asked all the
Hawaiians to support the candidates
put up by the Republicans, drawing no
color line. There were good men in
the other parties, but the Republicans
We're in a position to do the most for
the country. The most important mat
ter to be brought before the Legisla-
ture was the bill dealing with leper
suspects. The Republicans were pledg-
ed to see that this bill was remedied.
1t was not the whites that defeated
the attempts to remedy it in the last
sessions. w. w. Harris had gone to
Governor Carter and asked for a de-
lay of three days that technical
changes might be made in the bill in
troduced, but the Governor had re-
fused to grant the delay and the bill
remained in it's present shape. The
Democrats placed a haole stranger at
the head of their ticket and the Repub-
leans placed their Prince, therefore
the Republican ticket was the one to
support

Lane discussed leprosy, promising
changes in the present law. He ridi-
culed McClanahan's pretentions, COM
pairing him to plover which came
here to get fat and fly away.
w. o. Smith said he had seen the
work of Kuhio and that of Wilcox, in
Washington, and praised Euhio's work
as much superior.
H. W. Leleiwi S. p. Correa and S.
p. Maielua followed. L. IL. McCand-

that if Democracy was successful i'm the
election capital would withdraw and
there would be no money in circulation.

A. V. Gear made a speech similar to
the one he made at Waikiki, and Kami-
honui and Sam Dwight both spoke
briefly, being well received. Brown
was one Of the last speakers. In ad-
dition to the usual talk he charged
Governor Carter with calling him down
for employing so many Hawaiians on
the police force He said: Last night

1t was because I had so many Ha.
waiians working on the police force that
Charley Chillingworth and I had been

saying that Iaukea was that man.
Frank Harvey was received with
cheers and won applause as he talked
of cleaning out the police department
and giving employment IN the road de-
partment to Hawaiians. Trent was
greeted with three cheers. He also
roasted Brown and the police. The
liquor law, said Trent, was so rotten
that it smelled bad The Republican
party made the law, however, and now
they asked for a chance to mend it.
The speaker suggested that the mend
ing be left to the Democrats, who
could be relied upon to do good job.
Trent said he didn't like Brown al

ever, to the ruin of Hawaiian boys and

put a stop to this shameful state of
affairs. He knew a man who could

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Spartanburg Man FORCES Check on En-.
terprise Bank of Laurens for $50.

S~partanburg, May 16.-J. M. Pearson
was arrested here late this afternoon
charged with forgery. Pearson is a
white man, middle aged, intelligent and
is we'll connected in this county. The
officers have been on the lookout for
him for more than a year, at one time
the man being in custody in Shawee,
Oklahoma, but he escaped before he
could be brought back to this State.
Pearson is charged with forging the
signature of Mr.. Aug. w. Smith of this
city. Mr.. Smith is president of the
Bank of Woodruff, and the checks were
made out against that Institution. There
were two checks both dated March %,
1905, and they were made out in favor
of w. r. Wilson, the amounts being
1892. Is and $187. 20; neither of the checks
was cashed, the forgery being dlscov-
cred in time to prevent the fraud.
Pearson also forged the name of w.
S. Gray e. Son of Woodruff to a check
for $50 on the Enterprise bank of Lau-
rens and obtained the money. The man
was arrested here this afternoon i'm the
weave room of the Spartan mills and
was identified by Mr.. j. r. Westmore-
land, Cashier of the Bank of Woodruff.
Pearson will be prosecuted on all three
OF the charges by the bank officials.

IN MEMORIAM.

A tribute to the memory of r. l.. and
j. II. Nance, the sweet little babes of
j. H. and Lyl Guthrie Nance, whose
spirits were waited into the pearly gates
of Heaven, on the 3rd and 5th of MAY.
God in His infinite mercy gave us
these sweet little flowers for five short
months, and they were the ~happiest and
brightest in our gardens here. But God
saw fit to transplant them in His gar
den above to prevent the buds from
whitening, and to-day, dear parents.
they are the most beautiful flowers
around Gods throne. When you po to
that Home, they will be the first to
smile and welcome you.
"Of the flowers here blooming, He
knows which to %spare-and touches
some not with His hand, he leaves
them to wither, die and decay, but the
choice ones He takes for His hand. -
Then call them not back from this gar
den of love and cease to be buried in
weeping.
They are safe with our Father in
Heaven above, not dead, but sleeping.

AN ELDER ELECTED MODERATOR.
General Assembly of the Southern Pres.
byterian Church Opens In G~reenyilIe.

Greenville, May 17.--For the third
time in its history, and for the first
time in six years, a ruling elder was to-
day elected moderator of the General
Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, in the person of Allan G. Hall,
OF Nashville.
The General Assembly was organized
about fifty years ago, and with but two
exceptions ministers have always been
elected to the Office of moderator. Mr..
Allan G. Hall, dean of the Law School
of the Vanderbilt University, for many
years the presiding officer of the lower
house of the Legislature of Tennessee,
and well known in political circles by
reason of his fight for a child labor law
/ in Tennessee, and chairman of the
Greek-Latin examination of the Church,
was elected moderator to-day.
Mr.. Allen G. Hall is a descendant of
ancestors 10 stood high in the Pres
byteria it was, not so strong as
1T is to- q claims as ancestor the
Rev. Oh fall, of Kings Noun
tain, we'll h.oWn among the people of
days that are now past and gone. He
is the grandson of DR.. Thomas Hall,
who was n of the pioneer Presbyter-
ian ministers in Tennessee.
The General Assembly of the Presby-
terrain Church in the United States,
more Familiarity known as the Southern
Presbyterian Church, gathered here to-
day under most favorable auspices.
Every n of the 83 presbyteries of the
Church was represented, the 21O COM
m%issioners being divided equally be-
tween the clergy and laity. The annual
sermon by the retiring moderator, Rev.
j. I. Plunkett of Augusta, Ca, was
listened to by an audience that crowded
the big church. The election of q new
moderator was the chief event of the
day and a spirited contest attended the
decision. The delegates are being enter
tanned tonight at a reception rendered
by the ladies of Greenville.
The present assembly promises to
have more than usual interest, for
among the numerous other questions to
be considered will be that of union with
other branches of Presbyterianism,
which has been under consideration for
several years formally before the va
