of the Democratic party don't want
Mr.. Bryan. but it is openly evident
the rank and file do want him and
they will decide whether he shall be

PHONES FUR THE
 PINTO COUNTRY
Telephone Company Incorpor- ated to Tap Upper and
 Lower Pinto

The Globe Arizona Telephone com. psny has been incorporated with cap ital stock of Sl,OOO,O0O, and the object of the company is to construct tele phone system which will reach all of the mining companies doing business in the upper and lower Pinto Creek sec tions. The incorporators are all repre-. sentatives of local mining companies and at the meeting of stockholders held this week the following officers were elected: J. D. Coplen, president; $. l., Gibson, vice president; l.. R. Scholl, sec. retary and treasurer. and these, with J. C. Britt and w. II. Mercer, formed the board of directors.
 Twelve companies operating in the sections to be tapped have already sub scribed to $250 each in stock of the company and the work of construction of the line will begin as soon as the contract is awarded. The company will have an office in Globe and connection will probably be made with the local telephone system.
