GRAHAM POLITICS.
Hon. ". 7. Webb Says Political Pot
is Boiling in Thriving County.
Bisbee Review .

| DlSDee review.
Hon. w. T. Webb, speaker of the
house in the last legislature, is a
business visitor in the city from
Graham county, where he runs a
general merchandise store at Pima.
Asked regarding politics, Mr..
Webb stated that the political pot
was beginning to boil in Graham, and
already there are five avowed candi-
dates in the field for sheriff.
For district attorney the names of
A. G. McAlister and Wiley E. Jones
are mentioned, and for treasurer and
recorder Ben r. Clark and Nit Simms
are avowed candidates.
"Will you be a candidate for the
council?" the reporter asked.
GAS yet have not made announce
ment of my candidacy, and will not
do so until my return and consulta-
tion with democrats. 1 have been
urged repeatedly to make the race,
but have not as yet given a decided
answer"
AoPOohlAS VI OlLOA 1CS lSAdl1NC OdH-
didates. Mr. Webb stated that it
was quite probable that Lamar Cobb
would be returned to the legislature
from Clifton. Another bit of pOliti-
cal news that is going the rounds in
that section of the territory is that
the Democrats of Gila county will
again return Geo. w. P. Hunt to the
Council.
Mr.. Webb, as speaker of the last
house made a record of which he
may well feel proud. His rulings
were always fair, and he is consid-
cred one of the best parliament
arians in the territory. In the event
that he is sent to the Council from
Graham county there is no doubt but
what he would be put forward as a
candidate for the presidency of that
body.
Asked about Graham county's
choice for Delegate to Congress, Mr..
Webb said:
'Oh, there's nothing to that except
Mark Smith. Graham county will
come to the Democratic convention
at Bisbee pledged as a unit for Mark
Smith. L predict that Graham and
Coch1se county alone this fall will
give Mark Smith not less than 1900
majority.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1906-05-31

Reports from the Stanley Butte
mining district are to the effect that
there is great excitement on the
strip on account of a discovery of
very rich copper ore in some claims
owned by Frank Weast, superintend-
ent of the Stanley Butte Consoli-
dated Mining company, located at
the head of the Goodwin wash, claims
formerly owned by Mr.. Brooking, and
six miles from the Belle group. The
ore body is said to be forty feet in
width and assaying in copper as
high as thirty-five per cent, with
considerable gold and silver values.
If the reports from there prove
authentic, it is the biggest strike
ever made in that part of the coun-
try and assures the future of that
mining district.-Guardian.

The Bonanza Circle Consolidation.

Houghton dispatches say circulars
announcing the plans of the pro-
posed Bisbee consolidation. The
new company will have 100000
shares, with par value of SO, of
which 100000 shares will remain in
the treasury, 100000 subscribable,
prorata, at par to stockholders, and
the remaining 100000 distributed as
follows: 1860 shares of new stock
to one of Calumet & Pittsburg; same
to one of Lake Superior & Pittsburg;
1880 shares to one of Junction; 1850
shares to one of Pittsburg s. Duluth.
This makes one share out of the
100000 allotment subscibable to
every holder of fourteen shares in
the, new company, 1t is necessary
pany's stock surrendered to justify
the new organization. 1t will be
necessary to exchange the stock
before anyone can acquire the right
to subscribe to the 100000 allotment.
All rights will expire at noon June
20. Subscription payments are due
month later. If fifty per cent.
of each company is not surrendered
by then, all surrendered stock will be
returned to the owners and the plan
suspended. If fifty per cent. is sur
rendered, temporary negotiable re-
ceipts will be issued till the certifi-
Gates are ready. An application to
list on the Boston Exchange will be
made as soon as possible after the
organization.

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years
of Torture,

For more than twenty years Mr.
J. B. Massey, of 1922 Clinton ST.,
Minneapolis, MINI, was tortured by
sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time is
beyond comprehension. Nothing gave
him any permanent relief until he
used Chamberlain Pain Balm. One
application of that linament relieved
the pain and made sleep and rest
possible, and less than one bottle has
effected a permanent cure. IL
troubled with sciatica or rheumatism
why not try 25 cent bottle of Pain
Balm and see for yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
Yaqui River Road May Build Through
SOIOm0nviIle.

Numerous survey parties and
right-of-way agents circulating about
Solomonville.fo for the past two weeks
have given rise to railroad rumors
galore, until it is indeed a dull day
for railroading when numerous citi-
zens can't announce a new line across
their properties, with depot and
switching privileges in their back
yards. We would not vouch for the
accuracy of the statement, but put
ting all rumors together it would
seem that this city should soon be
the junction point of something like
half a dozen lines. The Santa Fe,
Southern Pacific, Gila Valley, Globe
& Northern and the Arizona Eastern
are only few of those that might
be mentioned.
All facetiousness aside, however,
it is quite certain that railroad
operations are contemplated for this
end of the valley in the near future.
From a source that would seem
reliable the Bulletin learns that the
G. v. G. & N. has surveyed route
for a new line leaving the present
track about two miles south of
Solomonville station and keeping on
the high mesa to a point south of
Stafford, where it will enter the
valley and connect with the old road
near Thatcher. In that event, it
is reported, that the old track be-
tween Solomonville station and the
junction of the new road below SAT-
ford will be abondened.
1t is also reported that the Cana
nea, Yaqui River & Pacific Railroad
Co. has surveyed for proposed road
from a point on the G. v, G. & N.
near Solomonville station eastward
through Solomonville and along the
Gila river to a junction with the A.
& N. NJ. The proposed road would
cross Bowie avenue just south of W.
H. Parks place. 1t is claimed that
negotiations have already been made
for rights of way along this line and
that building operations will soon
begin. In event this road is built
will be placed in direct
rail communication with the east
end of the county as well the outside
world, besides having the advantages
of freight and passenger depots
within two blocks of the business
center of towu.-Bulletin.

Twin Buttes Ore Shipment July 10.

"We will begin shipping 100 tons
of ore per day on July TO-"
This information was given out in
Tuson by Mayor Rose, who arrived
in the city from Twin Buttes.
Mayor Rose states that there is no
let-up in the activity of the camp.
They are about ready to begin stop
ing at the mines.
The information was also given out
that the ore shipments from the
Twin Buttes would be increased 100
tons per day every four months until
the output reaches 500 tons per day,
says the Tucson Citizen.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
railroad. The track has now been
completed eight miles out of the
city. That the track laying is going
ahead rapidly can be seen from the
fact that in one day the squad laid
310O feet of track. The rails, ties
and other material is being hauled
to the squad over the track as fast
as it is completed, and this greatly
facilitates the work.
Mayor Rose stated that prepara-
tions are already under way of the
formal celebration OF the completion
of the road and the formal observ-
ance of the Fourth of July at Twin
Buttes. These celebrations will occur
on the same day and it is hoped by the
Twin Buttes people to have Tucson
depopulated for that day and the
entire $1,000 Inhabitants taken to
Twin Buttes to help set off the red
fire, the fire works, and to take part
in the general celebration.

Biz Earthquake in Orient.

Advices from the Orient state that
an earthquake, causing great loss of
life and considerable damage of
property, occurred at the beginning
of May at Uniankai and vicinity, in
Mongolia.
The walled city of Uniankai is al
most completely destroyed. The loss
of life was very heavy.
Severe shocks are also reported
from Fotien province in China, the
most disastrous being in Chuen,
where many buildings were destroyed.
The loss of life here is not known.

Muddled Tax Conditions.

The Tucson Citizen states that
there are three classes of taxpayers
this year: Those who paid under
protest: those who rendered their
taxes without the raise, and those
who paid the illegal raise without a
formal protest.
1t is this last named class that has
received an unfair deal. County
Treasurer Began says that according
to the statements of attorneys, the
supreme court has ruled in similar
cases that these people cannot re-
cover from the territory for the ex-
cess tax charges.
Those who paid under protest stand
a good chance of getting back the
excess tax. Those who rendered
their original taxes and whose money
was declined also hold the upper
hand, for if the county sues them for
back taxes the county is sure to lose.
as the raise was illegal.
But the citizens who paid their
taxes in full because they thought it
was the right sum have literally been
buncoed and they have no redress.
In the meantime, while an attempt is
being made to straighten out the
matter, these is $4,000 outstanding
which the county might use if it
could get it.

Many of Arizona's substantial
financial citizens became so by in,
vesting in mining stock of mines
near their homes. Bisbee has many
citizens who have become well-fxed
fiancially by investing in mining
stock in aiding to develop mines
tributary to their homes. Prescott
likewise, also Globe. Tucson should
take lesson from these citizen of
our neighboring settlements. There
are many promising mines tributary
hereto which are being developed
by Tucson capital. Stock is being
purchased at a low figure. Develop
ment is causing this stock to ap-
preciate. The time is not far dis
tant when those who invest now will
make large profits on their pur-
chases. What our people should do
is to keep this mining stock at home
and thus enrich themselves and the
community by and through its
appreciation.-Star

Der of the Kentucky court of ap-

ago: ''The press does more day by
day to crush out crime and restrain
criminals than all the organized and
paid constabulary of the state; the
searchlights of its investigation into
conduct of public officials is more
dreaded by the corrupt and the
vicious than all of the penal laws

enlightened public opinion it consti-
tutes large part OF the foundation
of civil liberty"
