ELECTION or TAFT WILL
 SPUR ON BUSINESS

"Taft is elected president of the United States and you can tell every. body that l am now busy looking over the field with view of making large investments. "
 These were the words of F. N. Mur. phy, president of the <. F., r. & F.. and the Development Company of America, addressed to \ group of friends from the rear platform of his privnte car before he left last night for Parker. President Murphy was acc companied by W. A. Drake, vice pres. idcnt and general manager of the s. F., F. &P.
 "Mr. Drake and I will drive to the Planet and Signal mines from Parker, :" VI am looking for a place to spend some money and ! know of none bet. ter than Yavapai county and. the new copper country tributary to the Ari. zona and California railroad With Taft president of the United States and Cameron representing this terri tory in congress, Arizona is on the eve of the mos, prosperous period in its history" he declared as the train pulled out of the depot.
 President Murphy and Vice Presi. dent Drake will inspect several of inc promising mining properties of the re gion tributary to the Arizona and Cal ifornia railroad, including the Plauet and Signal mine Large forces Jf miners are now employed developing these mines. Both are pronounced passed the prospect stage. Mining en- gineers who have examined the Planet and Signal are unanimous in the opin ion that both will prove among the great copper producers of the territory with railroad and reduction facilities They are located twenty and twenty eight miles respectively from Bousc the nearest railroad station on the \. and C.
 One preliminary survey for . branch railroad has been run to tho Planet and Signal from a point on the 4. and C. four miles west of Bouse and sur vey corps is now in the field making second preliminary survey from Bousc to both mines.

TOM REED OWNERS
 GATHER MORE PROPERTIES

klNGMAN. Nov. 2. Report comes from the Tom Reed section that Wal. ter C. Fellows has relocated all the outside property of the Tom Reed com. pany. What the reason for the loca. ton of the mines is can only be con. tec'ured that the company was hold. ing the property on work done on the Tom Reed and Ben Harrison mines .as group. MT. Fellows was one of the owners In the Tom Reed and Ben Harrison mining claims before title passed to the Blue Ridge mining com. pany, which company is now in litiga. ton with the Tom Reed people over he possession of the mines. The To. eating of the claims is sure to precip- itatc for litigation, the end of which cannot be forctold. Mr. Fellows re. turned from Prescott few days ago and made the locations on his way home, which is taken as an evidence that he mad the advice of prominen, Prescott attorneys in the matter.
 T. F.. McClelland, who returned from the Goldroad section few days ago reports wonderful activity in San Francisco district. Al the Tom Reed Victor, German American, Leland. and Gold Road mines there are forces of men busily employed in the exploita. ton of the mines. In his opinion this winter gives promise of great things for Mohavc county's gold country.
 F.. II. Dickie. who has bond on the mines of the Mohavc Gold Mining Company. was ic Kingman yesterday NIT. Dickic intends to do considerable work on the mines inis fall and win. ter with the intention of getting them in shape to make a big output The mines were worked by Philadelphia company some years ago and large amount of money spent with little i'm provement of the properties.
 ]. l.. Witncy this week made an ex' animation of the Pilgrim mines owned by William O'Dea and NJ. Dempsey The mines were discovered several years ago and have n shaft on one of the properties at depth of about BOG feet, but owning to disagreement the parties holding the properties un der bond quit work. since which time only the assessment work has been done. There is no doubt of the value of the mines and it is 10 be hoped that they will be taken over by strong company and operated in systematic manner. The mines are across the val ley from Chloride and only few miles from big water supply.

sYLvANITE ORES ARE
 DISAPPOINTING ON TESTS
(rrom Tuesdays Dai,yb

Eb PASD, Nov. 2.-SampIes or or from the new gold camp supposed 10 be sylvanite were tested thoroughly yesterday by Otis A. Critehett at the Custom assay office and by A. w.. IIouek and ]. A. Rice. MT. Rice and MT. Houek both made the following statement after the tests were com pleted;
 "The ore contains the bright white mineral supposed to be sylvanitc and VIC made the first test to ascertain whether any tellurium was present m the ore. The test gave a very distinct reaction. proving large percentage of that element Another test with new piece of the mineral was made for gold and silver respectively, but no traces of these metals were indicated.
 "A third test for bismuth was made and the reaction showed A large per cent of that metal and the ore was pronounced by MT. Critchett to he tet- radymite chemical combination of tellurium, bismuth and silver.
 Both MT. Rice and MT. Houck agree with Mir. Critchett in this statement, Further tests at A. W. Houck's as' say office gave the same results and m no case were the gentlemen able to find gold or silver combination in the mineral Bismuth va. the only metal that was found in combination with the tellurium. Tctrsdymite has also been found in the Coeofro property near Sabinsl, in Chihuahas, about 30 miles southeast of the new camp of sylvanite, and the same mineral has been found near the Guaynops mine about l20 miles further south. MT Rice has n piece of tetradymite in his cabinet and it has the same general appearances as the mineral occurring at the new camp.
 Toe gold found in the specimens that have been examined occurs free that is, as native gold uncombinet chemically with other elements.
 MT. Rice is of the opinion that syi ysnite will occur with depth, or Possi bly, it does occur in some veins nov opened but 1t IS certain that the sam pies so far brought to Fl Paso and sup posed to contain sylvanite are tetrady mite with wbicn the gold is merely as socisted as 1t IS in many other min erals, such as lead and copper. "Gold is where you find it, say
 MT. Rice, "and if plenty of gold I
 found at the camp the fact that it not like the sylvanite of Cripple Creel , should not be source of discourage mcnt. hope. and l am sure we al
 do, that the new camp will be a bigge and better camp than Cripple creeI
 ever was"
 None of the above named gentleme have been at the new camp, but the
 have assayed the ore sent from th'r and they all agree that there IS n syvanite in these samples.

ZINC EXPERT LOOKS OVER
 CHLORIDE's COMPLEX ORE

Kingman, Oct. i.-F. E. F Rhodes assistant manager of the Y. $. Zinc Co.,. Pueblo, Colorado, this week spent rev. 'cral days among the mines of Chloride and other parts of Wallapa district. He IS Joking for a complex ore, carry. ing gold silver, lead and zine, espec- tally zinc, ores that represent little val. ucs to the owner. The T. s. Zine com. pany make a separation of the metals and handle the zine ores in their own ovens. While here Mr. Rhodes con traeted for number of carloads of ore from the zine.lead mines and their successful treatment will bring a big business from this district. The com. pany is well equipped to care for ores complex in character and there is no doubt that considerable business will be done by the company with our min. CTS.
 Several carloads of materials and machinery have been received by the Arizona Gold Mines company, at the Bi-Metal mines, three or four miles south of Kingman. The railroad com. pany has completed its spur track to the millsitc of the company and the foundation of the mill k about com. plete. Work is being rushed on the plant and i, will be but q short time until stamps arc dropping. People in this part of the country await develop. ments at this mine with much interest It vii be the first low grade mine in the territory to be equipped and work ed systematically and intelligently the managers of the property having had large experience in the working of this grade of ore
 Mir White of the Baldwin locomo. tive works, is said to have made an offer for one and one half million dol. lars for the Tom Reed company, but the offer was refused this week. Mir. White has been looking over the mines of San Francisco district and after m examination of the Tom Reed and Ben Harrison properties made the ofIer. The mine is turning out great bars of bull lion every month, nevertheless the of fer of a million and a half of dollars is double the selling price of inc stock in the open market So far there has been no stoping done in the property With more complete development oi the property it is safe to say it will be one of the heaviest producers of gold bullion on tho Pacific coast.

Official Count Is Needed To Determine Contest For District
 Attorney
BUT FOREST STILL MAINTAINS
 SLIGHT ADVANTAGE
From Saturdays DailyD

Returns were received yesterday from Tiptop. Placeritas and Santa Ma ria, and a confrmatory telegram wss received as to the results in the Verde precincts. As a result Ilerndon is elected treasurer by 90 votes and For est Is votes to the good over Ross for district attorney. The only pre-. cinct not yet heard from is Humbug, but although it is normally Democratic, the Journal Miner predicts that Forest will defeat Ross by an eyelash.
 On the face of the returns Bray is behind but it was discovered ycstcr. day that the vote as telegraphed from Ash Fork did not contain n mention of Bray's name. The average Repubh' can vote in Ash Fork was 90 votes, and there is no question but that Bray received his party vote. Assuming tAs to be true, he is l4 votes ahead of Moore for the assembly and is ua- doubtedly elected.
 The Humbug ballots came in yes. tsrday, but the returns were sealed sp, and no one will know the exsct vote there until the official canvass is made a week from next Monday. Hence, the contest over the district attorney win be in doubt until the package is spsnsd and the tally sheets inspected by the supervisors on November IS. The majority of Morris for the house of representatives is now ll5. His big vote, and in fact his victory, was one sf the surprises of the campaign.

MAYOR LIGHTS or GOTHAM.
Quaint Custom Requires Lamps at
 Home Entrance

New York, Nov. 4.-whst is prebsb' ly the oldest and most curiou. muni' eips custom in the country still ss' is,s in New York after more than 20 year. r.--that of lighting the entrance to residence of the city rsyors with large lamps
 In no other city in the United States is this done. At present of coarse Ns custom is not one of utility, hut .is ply s sort of honor and distinction.
 Tho precise origin " this curious custom is sonething of a mystery, bn' it is believed to bs s survival of q practice in the early dave of the city during the days of the Dutch oeeups tion. At that time ths burxomasts' was the chief man of the town ssd carried . lantern from the town meet ing house--since the meetings thss ~ cured st night--to his home, where Il was hung on the top fence rail ssd Jeff burning until morning.
 Its light served as s guide ,o tho,. who wished 10 make complain, o give warning of trouble.
 IL ia fairly certain that this eustou hss survived since 1868, at least, fo at a sale of antiquities one of inc ar tieles disposed of was described in 'h catalogue as "a lamp said to hay been used 10 illumine the front of th home of Mayor Cornelius steenwycl in Maiden Lane, and to have been use for the same purpose by three of hi successors. - This would seem to ir dieste that only the house cf the s' tive mayor and eS.mayors ss well a well are marked by the two lsrp light. provided by the city. The lam in front of the Wiekham family hay been in place since 1875, when W. wickham became mayor.
