"and don't want to get the ofYicc on tcchnicalitics. am satisfied thcrc was . square count in every precinct and l intend to abide by the voice of the people"
 Mir. Smith was urged to reconsider his decision, but all arguments were of no avail. Then it was pointed ont to him that any elcctor could sign com. plnint in such n contest, and that this plan could bc adopted, if he had any strong personal reason against allowing his name to be used ns party to tho action.
 'If you do,' said Smith, 'I will re- pudiate such q contest and even if it should be successful, and be declared elected as the Sheriff. I will not accept the once. Jim Lowry received the ma jority of the votes and he is the man who is entitled to the office. To try and defeat the will of the people on technicalitics, is like playing the baby act, and cannot look at it in any other light"
 Mir. Smiths action will be applaudcd by every citizen who recognizes that spirit in man which is known as game. ness. The same may be said of the other Republican candidates who were defeat. ed, all of whom have accepted the re. suit philosophically, and without man. ifcsting any signs of soreness" One of the odd developments of the District Attorney contest, was the re- ccipt of n letter yesterday by Robt. F.. Morrison from F.. F.. Ellinwood, refer ring him to several Supreme Court de. | cisions in other states of value to the former in defending his case. Mir. Fl. linwood, who is now n resident of Bis. bcc, was last year chairman of the Ter. ritorial Democratic Committee, and i, is quite evident that he disapproves of the contest brought by n member of his own party.

 (rrom Sundays Daily.)

Several business men of Jerome are mourning the departure from that place of Harry Woods, who, they allegc, left about q week ago, indebted to mum her of them.

here, developed the fact that they were not nt all pleased with the fact that he was given his freedom before serving his sentence. Attaches of the Sheriff s office stated that Nicholson was re- leased December IT on order of tie Dis trict Attorney. They stated that Mich. olson had written the District Attorney n number of letters pleading for his release, promising Co lead n better life, and representing that hc wanted Co join his wife and bay, whom, hc said, were in straitcncd circumstances. The "wifc and baby" are believed to be mythical.
 Justice of the Peace Keohanc, to q Journal Miner man, said:
 ''1 sentenced Nicholson to serve % days at hard labor in the county jail, in default of the payment of 800 fine which l assessed against him after he was proven guilty of passing two worthless checks. This was on Novcm. Der l. Later, but on what day do not remember, District Attorney Talbot called on me and asked me what knew about the man. l told the District At. torney that l believed he was guilty when l sentenced him. This is all know of the case. l understand that Nicholson was released from jail later, but was not informed of it in an of. ficial way. had nothing to do with turning the man loose before he served his sentence. If he paid the remainder of his fine to get out of jail, the money was never turned in to mo.
 Several prominent attorneys of the city, when acquainted with the facts as stated above, said they could not un. dcrstand how the District Attorney of any county had the power or authority to turn n convicted and sentenced pris. oncr loose after he had been committed to jail, before his sentence had cx. pircd. This is a perogativc that be- longs solely to the courts, they said.
 They were of ono accord that there was nothing in the Arizona statutes providing for such procedure on the part of District Attorney.

(From Sundays Daiiy.)

Because J. II.

 "After placing himself on the out side of as much Christmas publication as it was possible for one man to hold James II. Nicholson, n newspaper re porter, who arrived here three days ago, developed a desire for writing checks on an imaginary bank account and after having them endorsed by soin' of the local newspaper reporters, SC cured cash to the amount of s55.'

WILL RUN TUNNEL OVER A MILE
 LONG.
(Ffom Sundays Daily.)


 Before another year passes we will have our big tunnel ruin through the mountains, for over a mile, on our group of mines, located south. south west and north of the great United Verde Copper company's mines,n said q. w. Hull, president of the Hull Cop. per company, last evening, Co a .Iour. nal Miner representative.
 "Our plan of development, " he said. involves the sinking of the shaft on the '1sss' mine to the tunnel level. and the continuing of the tunnel until con. ncction is made with the shaft. when the tunnel will be pushed ahead farther north and northwest, parallel to the United Verde Copper company's prop. critics. The tunnel is in 1900 feet. and when pushed ahead another I,s00 feet, will pass through the 'lsss' shaft at an estimated depth of l90 feet. The shaf, is now down IjO feet. and the work of pushing fl to n greater depth will be continued while the tunnel work is 20. ing on.
 Drifts from the shaft in the dircc. tion of the tunnel have been run ahead about 300 feet, SO that the vein in the vicinity of the shaft is prospccted fairly well. There are twenty feet of ore ex. posed in the face of the tunnel that samples high in copper, and besides carries considerable values in gold and silver. The, entire force is now cn. gagged in putting in new pipes in the tunnel and straightening it in places. This work will be finished by the first of the year, when work in the face will be resumed and continued with force as large as can be worked economic. ally.n
 The holdings of inc Hull company, consisting of twcnty.two claims, were acquired by right of location by Mir. Hull since his arrival in Jerome. many years ago, and before the United Verde was developed far enough along to at. tract any special attention. He sold the group recently to the Hull Copper company for n large consideration, re taining a large interest and the man agemcnt of the concern, which is now inaugurating operations more preten tious than any ever attempted before in the district, with perhaps the single exception of the United Verde com pany, which has its immense ore depos its opened to depth of 900 feet, and | starting n tunnel 1000 feet in lengtl into it's mine that will drain it to depth of 1000 feet.

(From Sundays Daily.) "Jim Smith is a thoroughbred" 'Ho is a dead game sport"

Such were the expressions uttered yesterday both by Democrats and Re. publicans, when 1t was learned that he had refused to give his sanction to any contest for the office of Sheriff.
 For several days it has been current report that Mir. Smith would institute n contest, as it was known that sufIic. tent Irregularities had been discovered in n number of Democratic precincts, that if recognized by the court, would make him tho next Sheriff of Yavapai county. 1nasmuch as tho Democrats had thrown down the gauntlet in the matter of contests Mir. Smiths friends believed that he would be justified, un. der tho circumstances, of showing that it was Ca poor rule that won't work both ways,' and assuming that he would approve of such action, they i'm mcdiatcly began tho work of securing the necessary proofs on which to base such contest. Leading men of both parties urged that this be done, as they believed the developments would rebound to the public welfare.
 But they had not rcckoned on Jim Smith, and they really did not know the sterling character of the man until yesterday, when he came to town. Al thouvh assurcd hy his nttorncys thni there was proof of such irregularitic, in certain Democratic precincts which if thrown out by the court, woud elcc' him by 42 votes, although they pointed out to him that the Supreme Court hat decided directly on cases of an idcn tical nature, and that there was ever, prospect of such suit being successful MT.

Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 sALOME, Ariz., Dec. 2s.-E.. J. oi. son, superintendent of the Harqua Hala mine, came in yesterday, stopping few hours at salomc, and going thence to Phoenix, where he will stay day or SO, and continue on to Los Angeles. When asked why he was leaving at this time, he said that he was going after oil, and that he meant to get it. The IIarqua IIala storage tank at Salomc has been ready and waiting for nearly three weeks; they have their oil wagons ready for service; the old furn- aces and boilers at tho mine have been rcftted and rcpipcd; and the plant is ready to have the fires started in full blast. The fuel scarcity is kccnly felt by the owners in Michigan, who had hoped to have the plant in operation by New Years, and are disappointed that the oil companies and the railroads have not been able to supply this most neces- sary article in the running of a mine. Mir. olson expects to have sessions with the oil men and the railroad men in Los Angeles, and convince them that they are not doing their best to get the old HIarqua Hala into the list of pro duccrs again.
 Erecting Aerial Tram.
 There are two shafts at the mine which are being worked for production the old one, almost directly under the min. and the Golden Eagle shaft, whiel is a mile, less 200 feet, away. Tho richest ore the new company has struck has been in the Golden Eagle shaft The Thompson Greer company of Chi cago has its expert on construction now on the ground experimenting the cree ton of the aerial tram which will carry the ore over to the mill; and has al ready got his cable strung out.
