REVOLT A0AINST BOSSlSM.

Editor Journal Miner:
 September 2o. 1906.
 As n voter and Republican, permit me to join my voice with the popular county Republican convention. That it is good and strong, and exceptionally ST, is a sclf.evident fact. That the Democratic party is hopclcssly over. whclmcd in bossism and corporate rule and corruption, is everywhere ap. parent. throughout the country. The bob tail rump Democratic primary in this city is ample evidence that there is an element of dissatisfaction with this bossism, as exercised at our county court house. even in that party. It indicates n subconscious current of hon. est purpose among the voters against the Democratic tax.cating boardcrs at the public crib, which is feared. And this Is the element which is sure to he found eventually in the Republican fold--and much of it is now ready to fall in. The signs of the times are significantly indicative that Demo. cratic dominance in Prescott is near. ing its end. ANd it's downfall is the legitimate result of revolt of the people against the domineering spirit of bossism and ring rule which has SO long prevailed in this county. With the help of the honest and honorable Democrats who desire the purifcation of our degrading political and official rule, the outlook for n complete victory of the Republican ticket this fall is surely most promising.

MAKES RICH STRIKE IN ABAND.
 OWED MINE ON GOLD HILL.
(From Sunday 's Daily.)


 Mcogcr details of q rich strike made by Hank Parari in the Tip Top district on Saturday last reached this city yes. terday. The full particulars of the find could not be learned but it is known that the rock, n specimen of which was exhibited here, is of wonderful richness.
 The discovery was made on a claim abandoned last year by company which did not believe that it was worth enough consideration to have the assessment work performed on it, and which is located near the summit of Gold Hill, near the Tip Top and Colum. bia trail. about one and one half miles east of the latter place, and about two and onc.half miles west of the Tip Top mine. which was famous all over the west in the early days of mining in this region.
 Mir. Pararl who tx ono of the old time prospcctors of the Bradshaw Mountains, after locating the claim, cleaned out q shallow hole sunk on the vein, and was rewarded by striking the rich streak alongside of the prospect shaft at a depth of only nine feet from the sur fncc. From some of the rich rock he has already banned out several ounces of the yellow metal and prizes it so highly that he carried the ore on his back to his cabin, some distance away. where hc separates it's value by the banning process. He declares that it is too rich to bc packed m burro, in the usual way.

Object To Distillate Tanks Being
 Erected
Say It Would Decrease Value Of Their
 Property
.(FSom Tuesday's Daily.)

That n portion of the residents of Prescott, at least, arc after the Stand. ard Oil octopus, was made apparent, last evening. when petition, signed by number of taxpayers, residing some two blocks east of the depot, near the railroad tracks, was presented to the City Council, asking that body to take immediate steps to prevent the Stand. ard Oil company from erecting two tanks in that vicinity, which, the peti. tion stated, were to be used for storing distillatc, and which, if erected, would cause a decrease in the value of their property, and an increase in the in. surance rates.
 Some eighteen property owners of that ncighborhood, through their spokesman, and the petition, stated that the Standard Oil company, some years ago, had erected two tanks upon foundations, in that vicinity, for stor. age purposes, which they had later re. moved to California, but which they now intend shipping back to this city and erecting again on the old founda. tions. They also pointed out that dis. tillaie was n very high explosive, more dangerous, they alleged, than giant powder. and that they had no desire, whatever, to live in such close prox. unity to fluid that might. at any time, send them hcavcnwards or down towards China.
 The spokesman told of one resident in that ncighborhood who had become so inccnscd when hc heard that the octopus was to spread its tcntaclcs. in that part of the city. that he had oiled up his Winchester, and was affably telling how he would puncturc the dis. tillatc tank were it erected.
 On motion of ones of the councilmcn the city attorney was instructed to in. form the Standard Oil company or it's local agents, that they would not bc allowed to erect their distillate tanks within the city limits. under the city ordinances governing nuisanccs, and buildings containing giant powder or other explosives, and that an ordinance be drawn up covering this particular case.

 THINK WIN0FIELD WILL BE WINNER.
(rrom Sundays Daily.)

During my visit to the Verde vsl. Icy, last week, l was much impressed with the enthusiasm of it's citizens over the prospective nomination of W. C. Wingdeld as a candidate for Super. visor on the Republican ticket, all de, claring he would certainly carry the entire valley by such large majority AS to be certain of election - said John Mason Ross, of the law firm of Norris & Ross, who recently returned from a professional visit to that section of the country.
 "I found Camp Verde much agitated over the question of local option," he said. "Many of its influential citizens desire to get rid of the saloons and pc. titions are being arranged to he pre-. sented Co tho Board of Supervisors ask. ing that body to call for local option election.
 1.-The farmers were blessed this year with wonderful crops of corn and hay. Peach crops were also good but the apple crop was only fair. The stock. men are m good cheer, their business being in a prosperous condition.
 Not only the valley but the entire country between here and the river is alive with quail. Yavapai county will certainly be hunters paradise as soon as the quail season opens. l never saw the birds so plentiful, anywhere. v he concluded.
 MT. Ross left today for . professional visit to Apache and Navajo counties. While in St. Johns, on next Tuesday night, he will deliver an address against the passage of the joint state. hood bill, and will also appear on the platform in other places in those coun. ties, denouncing joint statehood, Le- fore his return.
