MINER TELLS !. QUEER CUSTOM
 IN OLD MEXICO
Mines Not Timbered, AcCi-
 dents Frequent-ChurcheS Built Underground = Only Two Classes, Rich and Poor.

A well known miner, who does not
 wish his name to be used, has just re turned from a long sojourn in Guan- ajuato, one of the provinces of Mexico. about 200 miles northeast of the city of Mexico. He tells some interesting tales of the people uf that district,
 who are far removed from the in fluences of European civilization.
 The women, he says, wear nothing but light garment. while the men haveI but girdle about their vast. Wages for the peons are twentytiv or fifty cents days for hard work in Inc mines. None of them will de scend into the mines without taking with him long knife.
 Policemen are as thick as niggers in Mississippi, and get reward of ten cents for every arrest they make. An American who strikes a Mexican is fined $50, but is excusabIe if he is struck first. Silver mines in the dis trict are being worked by primitive methods, as they were three hundred ears ago.
 Instead of timbering up the mine as they progress, the Mexicans leave pil, lars of earth. The result is that cave-ins are frequent. scarcely a week passing in which several lives are not lost. A gift of dollar from the company to the deceased's family is very usual occurrence. Another features of the mines which struck the American as unusual was the fact that there are numerous chapels un- derground, where the laborers wor- ship at certain hours of the day.
 The principal city of the state is which has in the neigh borhood of 10000 inhabitants. The city is noted for its beautiful church es, and the sound of the cathedral bells falls on the ear day and night In. the city there are but two classes the very poor and the very rich. The miner says it Is scarcely possible for the American to realize how poor the poor are, or in what pomp the rich live. There is poor water supply in the city, and the visitor is very liable Do get fever from the impure water which is used. A good American ss paid $4 gold for 'herding" Mexicans.

LETSON SAID 1000
 NOT 4 HUNDRED
Estimate of Smiths CochiSe Majoity Loses Cipher in
 Tucson Star

The issue of the Tucson Star of the 24th inst. contained. a quotation from Chairman James Letson of the Demo cratic central committee of this county, in which he was reported as saying that Mark Smith would carry Cochise county by 100 majority. Of course, as the Star is a Democratic Ulaper, and as Jim Letson has lived in Cochise too long not to be better acquainted with the political situa- ton than to make such a statement, it was apparent that 1t was a typo graphical error. It is safe to say that there is not a we'll informed Democrat or Republican in Cochise who did not know that there was a mistake somewhere.
 In an interview last night in regard to the matter, Letson said: "I have been joked all afternoon about my alleged prediction that Mark Smith would carry Cochise by 100 majority. Of course they all knew that I had said no such thing, but they were curious to know how such report had started 1 hardly think the mat ter is worthy of attention, but if you care to, you can say that the printer evidently left one '0' off of the 1000, as what I said and what 1 believe. is that Smith will carry the county by close to a thousand votes. The editor of the Star, W. B. Kelly, knows this as we'll as do, and has often so ex- pressed himself in the present cam. paign, and the fact that such state ment appeared in his paper means that some proofreader or printer overlooked one cipher of the num- ber."

JOHN WRIGHT
 ATTACKS THE
 ABSENT SMITH
Republican Meeting at Phoe- nix Tries to Make Out That Mark Smithfs Unpopular In Washington.
(Phoenix Democrat

When J. c. Adams, acting as ehair- man, called the republican meeting
 to order last night at the Elks theater, the house was well filled with re- publicans and democrats, desirous of hearing what the c. 0. P. orators had to say.
 MT. Adams made a short spech and then introduced Ralph Cameron. Cameron, it will be remembered, is the republican nominee for delegate to congress. He took up ten or fifteen minutes in telling the people what mighty nice man he was, and asking them to vote for aim. Cameron does not pose as an orator or public speak er hence his talk was a brief De.
 After turning his back to the audience, and introducing himself to speakers and candidates on the stage about all Cameron said was, Gentle men and ladies'" putting the gentle men before the ladies" And this is about the way ie would mix things in congress if he should ever happen to get there.
 Governor Kibbey was next called upon and made quite a lengthy speech. The governor outlined the policies of the republican party, as well as that arduous duty could be performed; took say at Mark Smith and then closed by making a plea in behalf of the party nominee for con gress.
 A man named Wright-JohA Wright-who halls from Tucson, was then introduced, and realizing the fact that Mark Smith was out Of the terri tory, began to abuse and viRify Ari- zona's able delegate in a manner that caused even republicans in the audi ence to feel sorry for Wright, owing to his ignorance regarding matters Of public interest and territorial history. Wright evidently overlooked the fact that such able speakers As Henry Ashurst and Frank Cox are still in Arizona to uphold the cause of Mark Smith and give the real truth to the people or he would not have made some of the rash and rank assertions, that he did last evening.
 Every political contest must have its campaign lie. apparently. The most monumental thing of that nature ever sprung on an unsuspecting pub lie was quoted last night from the stage of the Elks theater, when the statement was made that Mark Smith was an unpopular man in Washing ton, with very few friends in the ns- tional capital. The speaker evidently has never been in Washington, but any man who has realizes the absurd ity of this outrageous lie. Very few men, indeed, who have been in public

NINE WEEKS, AND
 ONLY II JURYMEN

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26.-The ninth week in the work of getting a jury of twelve to try Abraham Ruef for bribing members of the former board of supervisors, began before Su- perior Judge Lawlor this morning. Eleven men have been sworn in and practically the entire past week was consumed in trying to secure the twelfth man.
 So far 1150 veniremen nave been summoned in the case, and the stenographic record of the examina- tion of prospective jurors is perhaps the most voluminous Of any case in San Francisco courts for many years.
