The district in which these claims
are located was worked in the early
days, long before the parallel bars
of ra lroad were stretched across Ne
vada, and a town Of some sixty adobe
houses flourished at the site. At the
time, with the crude methods then in
vogue, and the sky-high rate of trans
portation by team, only ore of i'm

profit. Yet, in spite of this fact.

tity was utterly impossible.
In the face Of these facts the own
ers of the Happy Tom group are of
the opinion that, with the present up
to date facilities for mining and mill
ing and the nearness of tho railroad
they can make of the property an i'm
mense dividend payer. Nor are they
alone in this conclusion. Many of the
old timers in this vicinity who knew
the district in the early days prophc-
sy that with the proper people ili
charge of the mines, the district will
become one of the famous m ming
camps of Nevada.
There is in the district plenty Of

richest mines of the state.

FORMER PREsCoTTITE DEAD.
Erom Sundays Daily.)

William II. Smith, formerly propri. etor of the Prescott hotel, in this city, died at his home in Phoenix at an early hour, yesterday morning. The immc diate cause of death was tuberculosis, from which the deceased had been a sufferer for some time. He came here about six months ago, from Seattle. Wash, in the hope that change of climate might stay the progress of his disease. shortly after his arrival in this city he purchased the Prescott hotel, and made other investments. Later, he moved to Phoenix, and pur. chased home, with the intention of spending the winter there. Since leav. ing here he gradually grew worse until the end came. He leaves n wife and one son surviving him, who were at his bedside when the end came.

corporations of all sorts, whether char tered by nation, state or municipality, are prohibited from giving any money m connection with any election in which presidential electors or members of either branch of congress are tO be voted for. ar in which legislators are to bc chosen which will elect United states senators. Ii is mol easy to sec how Congress could go any farther than it has now done in its work of shutting of inc financial upplI"s from campaign managers, for thc penalties prescribed for violation of thc law are heavy, and they are to bc dealt out 70 the givcr and the receiver of the con. tribu,ions.
 This law will undoubtedly diminish the use of money m elections. As there are no gosd reasons to suppose the money which has been used hereto fore was employed to corrupt the vot- CTS, inc reform which this act will bring may not be quite SO large as it's projectors imagine. Campaigns under the modern conditions cost a great deal of money. Somebody has to put this money up. The legitimate expenses of running T campaign are necessarily ncavy, and If the cash supply for pay. ing the expenses of campaign manag ITS, for sending out literature, and for putting spellbndcrs on the stump is cut of we will have to revert to the primitive methods of the antercbcllion days. Will this transformation improve politicsl We are inclined to think that it will not. In,ermixcd with the hon. esty of many of inc advocates of this change there has been good deal of dcmagogy and hypocrisy in this cru. sadc against corporation contributions to campaign funds.

At the eoncluso, Of the show they were treated to tb. swellest banquet ever given in .Jerone attended by the leading citizens O, that place.
 \ notable feature of the occa,io, was the speech of welcome, deliverei by Charles W.

MONEY IN CAMPAIGNS.

The bill which has just passed the house to prohibit corporations from contributing to the funds of parties in political campaigns is certain 10 be. come n law. Last summer the senate passed bill on the same general line. The house bill makes one change in the senate measure and that proposes an increase in the penalty for viola. ton.

 Under the bill as it has passed each branch, national banks and all other corporations organized by any law of congress are forbidden to contribute money to bo used in any canvass in wAieh officials are to be elected. And

WELL. WELL, ARIZONA
Clos Angeles Times.


 Over in Arizona they have hccn do. ing the oddcst of things of late. They now fine u man SjO for carving q gun. They have dccrccd ihat women shall not frequent saloons or even on- Ter a wine room. They have lifted saloon licenses io point that cuts out the roadhousc and inc low groggciy. Ev.n prize fights are prohibited, Train robbery is n capital felony. And the Legislature has just dccrccd that gam. bling must stop on inc last day of the coming month. Thus ishown the fal- lacy of mortal judgment.
 Most folks think of Arizona as n land of bowie knives and lynch law. where inc elite of the population gains daily bread and headlight diamonds by dcft dnlliancc with the pastcboards in faro box. Judging from chapters in Senator Bcvcridgc's justly celebrated book on southwestern travel, the rat. il' VT ln' HHtbl' Hl lHr foulfll' Haih'F struck the predominant note of indus. try in every hamlet. The very word "Arizonan V conjurcs up the picture of a type of uncouth Amcricanism. lop. sided from the carrying of an enormous rcvolvcr-an individual whose days are assumed spent in shooting up the town,' and in the way of bliihesome sport, and whose nights are passed in the more serious occupation of betting on inc high card.
 Bui there must he something wrong with this estimate. Late history docsn I support it. The best of testimony shows that the people of Arizona are digging in their mines, they are work. ing on their fertile farms and on their great canal systems, they are rearing their cattle and their sheep in peace, they are cutting in their forests, they are schooling their children and are sustaining their churches and charities, 'h"y "ro maintaining the purity or their elections, economizing in public affairs, paying their public debts, main. taining their public credit and hunting down inc great tax dodgers. In short, they have been doing their duty as American citizens in n manner that would bc deemed most creditable 10 many an older community. Possibly it will not take more than few years more io educate the American public up to an appreciation of the truth con. ccrning Arizona. When this has been accomplished, the granting of statehood VIII become n mere matter of dctail-- and another imperial commonwealth will be added to the Union.

MATTER OF COURT REVIEW
 OF POSTAL FRAUD ORDERS.

There can be no good objection 10 he congressional bill giving court rc. view for " fraud orders.' issued by the paa'mastcr general; no good objection can bc entertained io review of any. thing m the courts.
 The postmaster general IS given an extraordinary power in this respect and occasionally he must work injustice 10 somebody. Under the doctrine of chances, exercising his power as freely as he does. and in as many instances, it cannot well be avoided.
 IL would be a bad day for the nation could any official do as he pleases with ont reference to judicial review.
 But still il is n good thing to be able to regulate frauds without lot of red tape and long legal fight, for there ar" lots of them that could do n great deal of harm while the ease was being fought ont in the court
 Tho men. or lots of them. against whom fraud orders are likely to be is. sued, generally have enough money io fight their ease hard and they usually manage to hire the best legal talent ob;ainablc. The result would bc that in court the ease might be dragged on for several months; meantime. the fraudulent practice would continue and the people would be the losers.
 Under the present law the postmaster general can shut ont anything or any. body he plcascs, and often he can net on evidence that would moi hold good in court. IL is n ease of knowing the man guilty, but being unable to prove i'. The offending person or firm can be shut out and the oifcnse or fraud is stopped, but if there were n right of appeal, the offender would be able at least to continue the use of the mails till the matter was carried to the high. est court and much injury could be done the American public in the meantime
 Yet it is not well to give any official too much power, and the courts have managed to handle things pretty fairly up to the present time.
