But to work the mines Of the Tia
IJuaua vein to the greatest advantage,
I the operating company should be
|equfpDed with more than a concen-
/ trating plant. As in the operation OF
1.-THE big mines at Bisbee, Butte, Can
auea and other great camps, smelters
lalso should be near at hand. From the
east side of Wrightson mountain, there
: is an all down grade. passing through
the foothills through what is known as
lei Canon de Ia Vaya" Ghe Canon Of
I the Pass. to the Santa Cruz river, at
q point near Tubac. To a smelter at
that point the ore could be run by
means Of a double track, by sravita-
ton. the loaded cars down drawing
the empty cars back.
The part OF the Tia Juana vein here
referred to has been located and re-
located by both American and Mexican
prospect0rs during the past thirty
years, and even dragged into the courts
before patents were finally secured to
three of the claims by Messrs. Balloon
and Kane and Professor Blake a few
months ago.
One Of the early lOcators Of the vein
was the late Doug" Snyder of Tucson.
It was while Mr.. Snyder held the
claims. some twenty-five years ago or
more. that the late Senator Hearst of
California became interested and with
a party started out from Tucson TO
see the property with view To taking
hold and developing it. on the way to
the Santa Ritas the party was inform
cd by scouts that Apaches Were in the
hills prepared 10 ambush them. They
were then quite close TO the Indian
country, and as none Of the gentle
men in the party We're seeking adven-
tUre as an Indian fighter, orders were
issued for a forced march, with Auc-
son as the objective point It Is said
that Senator Hearst vowed that if
he should escape from the Indian
country at that time. he would never
return. At any rate he never re-
turned. Since that time no man with
sufficient capital to develop. the big
vein has ever taken hold Of it till the
option on one-third interest was Sc
cured recently By NJ. Ferry.
In that district i'm the Josephine
canyon, there are number Of other
rich groups of mining claims, with
Veins VI Sb''A 'Nhllf'lr NliN'i anu l'cih
ores. Also. all these veins carry gold
volues. Considerable prospect work
has ben done and is still being done
on a group of five claims owned by
E. y. Sorrells, the well known Santa
Cruz county cattle man and Martin
Micharlsh and Henry Habenicht two
pioneer prOspectors of the district.
Part of the group covers the extern
sion Of the Josephine vein, patented
and owned by Tucson people. From
tunnel on the vein they have taken out
some rich lead, silver and copper ore.
on another claim they have a 100 foot
tunnel in the same class Of ore. They
are now working on another tunnel in
which they have already encountered
good ore. though in only about TWEEN
ty-fiye feet.

THIS JUNE WEATHER
NOT ENTIRELY NEW
Twenty nine Years Ago the Nights
Were Refreshing.

Mrs. J. D. Monihon seeing something
in The Republican yesterday morning
with reference to a reported frost in
this community on the night Of June
4, says that that is nothing new while
it is something unusual Twenty-nine
years ago this year on June Is there
was a frost which nipped the top of
string beans and other vegetables. Nat
urally no harm was done by the frost
but for that matter no harm has ever
been done by any frost that ever Wis
tied this valley even in the frost sea-
son.
The event to which Mrs Monihon al
ludes is probably the one described by
the late Col. c. II. Gray to a Republic
can reporter once on an extremely hot
day in June. Col Cray remarked at
the time that he had seen other wealth

grow only one kind. Any pure
home grown seed is recommend
ed as we'll as the seed furnished
free. The corn to be grown for
the contest should be planted as
far as possible from the corn Of
different kind. Each one that
has entered this contest will with
in a few days receive q bulletin

STONES HISTORY.

Senator Stone was born In
Madison County, Kentucky, May
7, 1848, and is therefore, so years
old, twenty-one years older than
the man who aspires to succeed
him in the Senate. Stone moved
to Missouri at the age of 10. Pre-
vious to this he had attended the
common schools of his native
State, and after coming to Mis-
souri, he entered thsState Univer-
sity at Columbia, from which he
was graduated.
He was admitted to the bar in
1869, and later the State Univer-
sity conferred upon him the de-
cree of LII. D. His first political
office was that Of Prosecuting At
torney of Vernon county, which
position he filled in 1914. He
was a presidential elector in 1875,
and voted for Tilden and Hem
bricks.
In 1884 Stone was honored with
the nomination for Congress from
the district. He was elected and
served with distinction in the
Forty. ninth district, Fifteen and
Fifty-first congresses. In 1892
he was selected by his party to
make the race for Governor and
was again successful at the polls.
He served his term of four years
and at its expiration removed to
st. Louis and resumed the prac-
tice OF law with success.
When the late Senator George
Graham Vest, affectionately
known TO his associates as the
"Little Giant of the Senate,
declined because of i'll health to
be considered as q candidate for
re- election TO the seat he had oo-
cupied for 20 many years with
such signal honor, Stone was se-
leoted as his successor. This was
in 1908.
Senator Stone was figured in
many important debates in the
upper branch of Congress. He
is recognized as one OF Missouri's
best speakers and is an indefati-
gable campaigner,

FOLKS HISTORY,

Neither of the senatorial candi-
dates is a native of Missouri,
Gov. Folk was born Oct. %, 1859,
in Brownville, Tenn, and is
therefore 80 years of age. His
father, Henry B. Folk, was ma
tive of North Carolina. He nil
grated to Tennessee, and, like
his distinguished son, became q
lawyer, rising to high rank at the
bar of the Butternut state. His
mother, Martha Estes Folk, who
is still hale and hearty, was of
Virginia Stock.
After finishing in the common
schools at Brownsville, Folk en-
tered Vanderbilt University at
Nashville, where he was gradu-
ated in law in 1890. He came to
st. Louis one year later, where
he built up q successful practice
in the civil courts. He was mar
risd in 1895 in his native city Of
Brownville to Miss Gertrude
Glass.
Folk became known in politics
In st. Louis in 1895, when he
made several speeches for the
Democratic ticket. He was also
heard from on the platform and
stump in 1900. In the summer
of 1900 he gained his first real
prominence as attorney for the
Street Railway Union, then en-
gagged in Q strike in st. Louis.
His efforts in this latter regard
attracted the attention OF the
party leaders in st. Louis, and
in October he was prevailed upon
to accept the Democratic nomi-
nation for Circuit Attorney. He
was elected and soon thereafter
began to pry into election frauds.
His investigations resulted in
many indictments and some con-
yictions.

Missouri Law Providing
for Election Of Senators.

At each general election helt
in the State of Missouri, at which
a legislator is chosen, whose duty
1t shall be to elect a United States
Senator, according to the laws
and Constitution of the State,
the names of the candidates oil
each political party for said office
of United States Senator shall be
placed upon the ballots of the
political party to which the can
didates belong, of the several
political parties, and be voted
upon at said general election.
The vote for United States
Senator shall be counted, record
ed and certified to the same as
the vote for all other officers.
The person found to have the
largest number of votes upon the
ticket that shall have q majority
on joint ballot in Joint Assembly
Of the State Legislature at the
session held next after said cleo
ton, shall be declared to be the
caucus nominee of said political
party, and all members of said
party in the Legislature shall
vote for said person. Likewise
the caucus nominees of the other
political parties shall be the per-
sons receiving the highest num-
Der Of votes upon their respective
tickets.
Not the least interesting event
Of the general November elections
in Missouri will be the choosing
by direct vote of the people of
the respective party nominee for
the United States Senate, the
term Of the States senior Senator
with the present Con-
gress.
Senator William Joel Stone,
the incumbent, is eager to sue
ceed himself, while Governor
Joseph Wingate Folk also casts a
covetous eye upon the chair that
will soon be vacant in the Senate.
Neither of tho Democratic sena-
torial candidates has, as yet,
formally launched his campaign, !
though both have served notice
upon the voters Of their party that
hey will seek prefsrment at the
polls.

The attention of the people oi
st. Louis, Of the state and OF the
nation was attracted to the young
prosecutor when he began his
crusade against official corrup-
ton in st. Louis. He announced
that he proposed to enforce the
law, and laid bare official venality
that startled the entire country
and created panic in the ranks OF
wrongdoers of high and low de-
gree.
Folks record for reform
and against boodling made him q
logical candidate for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination,
and he was honored by his party's
convention which met in Jeffer-
son City, July 10, 1904, receiving
$40 of the 700 votes of the con.
vention.
Even the Republican landslide of
1904 failed to stem the tide of
voters who flocked to the Folk
standard, and he was the only
Democrat elected on the State
ticket. Although Roosevelt, the
Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, carried the state by over
$4,000, Folks plurality was 3d.
100. His record in the cover.
nor's chair is too fresh in the
minds of the people to need de.
tailed recital in these columns.
Since assuming the reins of
State government, Govevernor
Folk has been in great demand
as public speaker in Missouri
as we'll as in practically all the
large cities of the Union. He
has filled Chautauqua dates and
has been a guest at many notable
gatherings in both the East and
West.
