NEWSPAPER CRED1BILITY

NEWSPAPER CREDIBILITY
HEARsAY and idle rumor are not
safe news for a reliable paper to
use, and legitimate news gather
ing is not the easy matter many
readers of a paper imagine. Not
only must the reporter be alert to
secure all that is going on, but he
must verify every item to let no
false statements get into his paper.
The credibility of a newspaper is a
large part of its stock in trade
and, if it has the confidence of the
people, half the battle is won.

HovAL SMITH ADDS TO
 HIS CAMERON ESTIMATE

BISBEE, Oct. a. With only Maya jo county 10 hear from, the registrs- ton of Arizona shows an increase in twelve counties over 1906 of o949. The report from Marieopa, which arrived at headquarters today, gives m even 1000, the big increase of 22is over two years ago. The Marieopa county reg istration caused Chairman Hoval A. Smith to issue a statement late tbis evening that in his judgment, formed on reorts from every county in the ter ritory up 10 this afternoon, Cameron will be elected by not less than 1900 plurality. Here is the table given on' by Chairman smith:
 "Camerop win carry the following counties: Apache 200, Coeonino 900, Marieopa $50, Mohave 70, Navajo 90, Pima $50, Pinal 100, santa Cruz so, lYavapai $50, Yuma 200.

The campaign of mud slingins inaugurated by the Kelly papers, and the upderhanded methods adopted dc not appeal 10 the stalwart western manhood of Arizona. Cochise will g'v' Smith no, over 250.

 He says that arrangements for tne financing of the London.

Nearly 40 per cent of the capitalization of $l0,0o0,oo0 in slo shares is held in this city, and the news that active operation. may be resumed will be of great interest to the local mining world.
 The ore uncovered upon the property is direct smelling and self huIing ore of similar character to that of the Copper Queen, and is found in lime stone formation. On the west end o' the property a canyon, 1000 feet deep makes complete cross section Of the geology, showing 800 feet of hmesson' on top, 200 foot layer of quar'zit' below. and an underlying strata of d's base, which is believed to go to great depth.

CONVICT LEO
To bR|ITA|NS

After another vain attempt to To-
cate their missing son, Cecil, Mr..
and Mrs. r. L. Britain, accompan-
led by Deputy Sheriff Butler Of Spo.
kane, returned to Walla Walla from
Toll Gate in the Blue mountains
much depressed over the prospects
OF finding their son, who disappear
ed two years ago. The last attempt
to get the boy was through the con-
fession of James Breen, a convict
having served two prison sentences
and under sentence for another
crime from Spokane. Breen claim
ed to be the leader of the gang that
took the boy. He said he would
return him il he was given par
don by Gov. Mead. A conditional
pardon was issued giving Breen un-
til Sept. s to return the boy.
After securing several hundred
dollars from the parents and max
ing several alleged attempts to get
the boy out Of the mountains, he
made break for liberty while at
Toll Gate The reason for leaving
then was his being caught in a
falsehood.
As his parole is not up until
Sept. 6, and Deputy Butler was not
familiar with the heavy timber near
Toll Gate, while Breen is, he did
not give chase. No efforts are be-
ing made to locate Breen.

water In small lagoon between
the island and the mainland. and
were attracted to large stone ly-
ing in shallow water. Mrs. Hawkins
was shoveling into the sand for a
curious looking shell when sudden
ly long black tentacle shot out
from the rock and barely missed
her head and wrapped itself around
the shovel handle. With an ex-
clamation she showed the imple-
ment into her husbands hands and
splashed towards the shore. Mr..
Hawkins wrenched it away from
the octopus. Mrs. Hawkins, with
the first scare over, determined to
kill the monster, and arming her.
self with a long pole, and with her
husband carrying the shovel to do
decisive infighting, made a sally.
The octopus received several prods
from the pole, and then assumed
the offensive, making numerous at
tempts to wrap its tentacles around
its tormentors. While Mrs. Hawk
ins kept its attention by prodding
with her pole, Hawkins saw his
opportunity and struck 1t death
blow upon the head. At one time
while the battle was in progress
the monster raced so feet after the
two, travelling spider-like on it's
tentacles.
