Mills and Sutton.

The prohibition party seems to he

man for the head of the ticket in this
state. Mr.. Edward Mills, chairman
of the State Prohibition executive
committee, is mentioned as suit
able man, and Mr.. o. o. Sutton, OF
Sutton, is also suggested by some
of the leaders of that party.
= Some of the members of that party
seem to see mighty victories ahead in
the coming fall election. We do not
believe they will poll any more votes
this fall than they have in former
elections, yet we make bold to Of
fer a suggestion or two free OF
charge and free of bias.
In the first place while Mr.. Mills
is an estimable gentleman and one
fully qualified to accept this high
nomination and make fight for the
station as governor Of this state, yet
1t seems unwise that his party shoul |
seek to bestow upon one of their
own committeeman this nomination.
Mr. Mills being the chairman of the
state committee. 1t would ceem t.
. partake of the nature OF a Democrat
ic star chamber affair to give Mr..
Mills this nomination.
This party, in order to obtain any
thing, must necessarily reach out
beyond their committee room. Sure
ly there are other strong men out.

Conlcy,s appointment

In brief interview after anhouac.
ing the appointment OF William G.
sConley, Of Kingwood, as attorney
general OF the state to succeed Clark
W. May, who died two weeks ago at
Hamlin from injuries sustained in a
runaway, Governor Dawson stated
that the appointment was made at
this time because of the status OF the
Virginia debt suit in the United
States7supreme court. With the APP
,spofntment of master to take testi-
mony and to make up an account be-
tweeh-tfle two states, 1t was neces-
sary to have "a legal head OF the state.
the court having ruled that all pro-
cesses should be served on the at
torney generals of the respective
states and the Governor said 1t was
not practicable to wait until the state
convention in July had nominated a
candidate, though II the appointment
could have been held off until then,
he would have appointed the nomi-
nee Of the convention.
Governor Dawson further stated
that while the state had an able
corps of attorneys in the case yet the
attorney general was the head of the
states legal representatives and the
other attorneys in the suit his as
sistants.
The reasons given by Governor
Dawson for making the appointment
at this time are certainly sufficient
/ to warrant his action, as the urgency
OF the appointment is readily seen.
In the selection of Mr.. Conley,
while the Telegram would not speak
disparagingly of other men, who may
be seeking the Office by nomination
and election, Governor Dawson has
chosen wisely. AS Governor Daw-
son said in the interview, he has
known Mr.. Conley from boyhood, is
familiar with his private and profess
sional life and recognizes in him
gentleman worthy of the position
and one who will discharge its duties
ably, conscientiously and to the well
fare of the people of the state.
What bearing, If any, the action of
Governor Dawson in this on the mat
ter of nomination for the place at
the Charleston convention will
have remains TO be seen.
Should Mr.. Conley be nam
ed and elected, his appointment at
this time will have fitted him that
much better to assume the duties OF
the office for the next term, but,
should the convention not nominate
him, he will at the end of the pres
ent term have rendered the state a
service needed and can and will re-
tire with the affairs of the Office in
actively fine shape for his successor.

seeks Senator SCOTS shoes, but that
hope is expressed and emphasized at
this time In an effort to influence
counties yet to select delegates to the
state convention. The motive is SO
plain that 1t is known on Its face.
But, such an effort will have no
effect except to make stronger SEN
timent for Swisher. It is based on
an absurdity to begin with. as the
Swisher forces are all Senator SCOTS
friends and all for his reelection.
Mr.. Mann himself as previously stat
ed by the Telegram has given Senator
Scott personally assurances of heart
lest support and he is known to be
one Of SCOTS best and strongest sup
porters.
Even. II that were not true, and 1t
were accepted that Mann seeks the
senatorship, the Dispatch-News is rn-
Willingly rounding up the southern,
counties Of the state for Swisher, in
fact, doing Scherr such injury and
Injustice as to naturally cause a
feeling OF distrust of that paper by
the Scherr forces. And as to other
counties favorable to Senator Scott
the course OF the Dispatch-News in
trying to ensnare them into a trap
will but make them even truer to
Swisher and Scott, because they all
know 1t to be fact beyond dispute
that the forces behind Swisher are
also just as much and as enthusiastic
ally behind Scott.
Wailing and gnashing of teeth will
do that crowd no good now. They
realize they have lost and 1t is need
less for them to go into further con-
yulsionS.

SEEKING WATER
HE FOUND GOLD
Interesting Tale of Discovery by a
Novice of Rich King Of
Arizona

Aqua CALIENTE, September %
To the westward, about fifty miles from
this place and with the range plainly
visible from mountain tops here, lies
the rich gold bearing mountains where
in are located the King of Arizona and
the North Star mines, in the Kofa dis
trict
The King of Arizona is owned large
ly by Tucson and Phoenix parties, Col.
Epes Randolph and Hon. T.. S. Ives of
Tucson, and Attorney Frank Cox of
Phoenix being among those interested.
The North Star property is owned by
eastern capitalists.
Both of the mines are big producers
and the gold ore that has been taken
from them is valued in the hundreds
of thousands.
w. Ii. Smith, who is the mcssur at
this place and who before he went into
the business of rubbing out kinks in
the human physique and aiding in treat
ing rhcumatics, was interested himself
in mining, states that the Kofa district
is one of the richest he has ever seen,
and he has spent considerable time in
the rich California gold sections and
also in the Nevada fields
He tells an interesting tale Of the
discovery of the King of Arizona mine.
A stranger who was comparatively a
novice in prospecting, was skirmisning
about in the Kofa district when ne
found himself suddenly out of water
and no water holes in sight anywhere.
Almost in despair, he turned up can
yon in the hope of finding water there.
Not only did he find water, but he
also found gold bearing rock which,
when assayed in Yuma, was found TO
go $500 to the ton. This was the be-
ginning of Kofa and the start of a new
gold district. That was about ten years
ago.
The property on which the discovery
was made is now the big producer--the
King of Arizona.
About two years ago the North Star
mine was opened, and it is giving the
King of Arizona hard run for the
gold producing record of Yuma county.
The water problem was big handi.
cap for long time, but that has been
overcome by sinking wells to depth
of more than 1000 feet, and now both
the King of Arizona and the North Star
have an ample supply from their re
spective wells.
