Elections Then and Now.

The Press and Banner Of Nov. Is, 1876, said:
.For the past week the whole country has
been excited over the local and general cleo
lions to q degree heretofore unknown IN
American politics."
During the whole campaign in 1908 every
thing has been as calm as q May morning.
Not q ripple Of excitement has occurred at
any time.
The quietude Of this campaign as compared
with that OF 1876 is noted by all who remem-
Der the stormy days OF the Red Shirt Parades,
when champion and Home Rule" was the
battle cry, and when every man thought II
was his duty to do q full share in "Redeeming
the State"
Previous to the election President Grant
had stationed troops in vsrious places TO see
hat q fair election was held. At that TIM
the majority of colored. or Republican voters
in this county were about two 10 one, but
the Democrats succeeded in inducing a sufh.
Client number Of Republicans TO vote with
them. But some people were unjustsenough
toward the whites TO entertain the thought
that some Republicans had been bought ano
hat others had been intimidated. There
were others who thought that q few white
men, in order TO make Democratic victory
sure, voted more than once. or course none
OF these ugly charges we're ever proven.
White men crowded around the polls while
others stood on the outskirts, working for
Hampton and Home Rule"
As an Instance OF Democratic enthusiasm
one young man, though afflicted with corns
ON his feet, stood ID the court house steps,
where 1t was possible for q Republican TO
step on bis fayorite corn. He had the pro-
verbal big stick In hand, and not wishing
to see either himself or anybody else hurt.
gave notice of his intention TO resent any
osrelessness in the neighborhood OF his
corns. The result was, that, In passing, the
Republicans were very careful. Indeed, some
out OF extreme caution, took no chances OF
stepping on Democratic corns. That young
man of 1876 is now one OF the solid men OF
the town. He stands high with the people, is
q leader In every good cause; is a pillar IN
the Presbyterian church, being az enthusias
tic along these lines as he was in winning a
political victory In 1876.
Among the enthusiastic leaders In that
campaign was Captain L. W. White. For a
time he devoted his whole time and energy
to the election Of good Democrats.
Captain John E. Brownlee was a hero IN
that campaign.

Electric Light For Stafford.

NJ. L. Webster, formerly local man-
ager of the Consolidated Telephone,
Telegraph and Electric company, Is
in Stafford working up d proposition
to give Stafford anu Thatcher an cleo
trio lighting and power system.
Mr. Webster is making a canvas
of the business houses anu residences
in order to ascertain the number of
lights needed, and how many can he
depended upon to warrant the in
tallation of lighting and power
plant. Mr.. Webster Is meeting with
considerable encouragement 50 far
in his work of cdnvasslng, aud tue
outlook is very promising tor the in
stallation of au electric plant large
enough for service in Stafford and
Thatcher.
The need of an electric lighting
system in Stafford has been seen for d
long time, and as the city Is growing
steadily, modern improvements on
all hurs arc becoming necessity.
With d good electric lIghIlng system,
the streets could be llgnJeu dt night,
which Is d much needed improve
ment, aud the cost would be smdll in
comparison to the good accomplished
by Well-lghted strCcts.-Gudruidn.

A Growing Population.

Another line on the rapidity with
which Arizona is setting up is secured
through the operations of the land
office. In the regular annual apprO-
priation made for the surveying and
resurveying of public lands, an allott-
ment of $40, 900 was made to Arizona.
This became available about three
months ago and since that time a suf-
ticient number of surveys have been
ordered to almost exhaust this apprO-
priation. Ii is believed that at least
another S1O 900 will be allotted to Ari-
zona to space out the other ninr
months with. The chief interest in
the news item lies in the fact that d
survey of any particular township
may be ordered only on the applica
talon of three or more settlers. AS Il
sufficient number of settlers have
applied for surveys to exhaust fund
designed to run year, it is very
evident the work of home building on
the public lands is going ahead much
faster than ever befOre.-RepubIican

Rich Exhibits in Copper Queen Pms.

A remarkable rich exhibit can be
seen in one of the big Copper Queen
mixing pits. This pit is u feet deep,
30 feet wide and 700 feet long. 1t
was full of what resembled rich NOR
tar, about the color of chocolate, the
result of mixing the rich Nacozari
concentrates With tiue dust, the
whole mass wet down to the consist
ency of thick mud. The concen-
trates are the result of reducing
per cent. copper to concentrates, six
tons into one, and therefore run ap-
proximately "a per cent. The hue
dust runs about 8 per cent, so the
combination is about as rich as it
looks.
The big steam shovel was handling
this material into the charge cars DIT
a very rapid rate, the charge train is
then run under the coke bins for its
share of fuel, and when fed into the
big furnaces the converters soon have
something to do, and the big rotary
caster or molder was tossing the bars
into the tank in rapid succession.
This is an intensely interesting
process if one should take the trouble
to follow the ore from the pit to the
molds which only requires few
minutes.
Judging from the volume of con-
centrates arriving every day, the
new concentrator at NacOzari must
be almost in full, commission while
the old one continues to turn out its
share. The two, when in full blast
have capacity of 2,75O tons of ore
per twenty-tour hours.
The stock of ore in the stock pile
has been appreciably lowered of late.
The work of reclining one of the
big pits is progressing rapidly. the
walls being constructed of tufa and
mortar about four feet in thickness,
put up along those lines of thorough
ness for which the Copper Queen has
ever been distinguished.
The power house now has twenty
four engines, and is as clean as par
lor. and Master Mechanic Adamson,
concurred in the suggestion that it
was the finest in the west.
One new engine was started off
February y, and has never stopped
since, and the master mechanic said
he did not know whether it could be
stopped or not, it has got into such a
habit of running. The reverbera
tory was started again and is running

MOrmOns Celebrate Ssth Anniversary.

AT Salt Lake City, Utah, Septem-
ber - was a notable anniversary in
the history of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, or Nor
mons. On September 22, eightytive
years ago, Joseph, the youthful
prophet who founded the sect, for the
first time beheld the plates upon
which the book of Mormon was en-
graved.
According to Mormon history, all
night between the 2lst and 22nd of
September, 1923, the prophet COM
municated with a heavenly messen-
ger who appeared to him three times.
1t is one of the most remarka BILE
visits of being from the other world
on record. After a period of prayer
and supplication, previous to retiring,
the prophet became aware of the
cover of light by which the angel
was surrounded. And then he saw
the heavenly visitor himself. His ap-
pearance is described even to his
clothing and his name is given.
Three times the angel appeared
that night, each time with d special
message in addition to that already
delivered. The first time the mes
senger made known to the prophet
that sacred records were deposited
in d nearby mound. The message
was accompanied by quotations from
tbes S.-ri nrnuin,r that fhta nRW
epoch in the history of the world
now about to be inaugurated was pre-
dicted by the ancient prophets. The
second time the visitor appeared he
told the prophet of great judgments
that were TO come upon the earth in
the form of famine, sword and pesti-
lence. The third time the messenger
came and warned the prophet that
the sacred treasures about to be en-
trusted to his care were not to be
used for the qualification of greed,
but for the glorlficatiOn of God.
The visions occupied the entire
night, and in the morning the prophet
related his experiences to his father,
who felt impressed that the visit was
from God, and advised his son to do
as the angel had directed him. Ac-
cordingly he went to the Hill Cumo-
rah and found the sacred treasures
de posted as he had seen in the
vision. Here, too, Moroni appeared
and instructed him regarding the
future work he was called upon to do.

Sixty consecutive performances in
San Francisco, is the record of the
Greater Norris and Rowe circus,
museum, menagerie, hippodrome and
congress of nations. During that
period, which is the record in point
of time, the Greater Norris and Rowe
circus played to 279, ,S73 paid admis-
sions. Speaking of the show the San
Francisco Examiner of January 18th
said: "Many hundreds of people
were turned away from the Audi
torium yesterday at the opening of
the Greater Norris and Rowe circus,
being unable to secure admittauce TO
the big building. Those who were
fortunate enough to be admitted and
there were thousa nds of them, saw
one of the best circus performances
ever given in this city and under the
most favorable conditions. Among
the 200 circus celebrates are per-
formers who have appeared in all of
the big circuSes in this country and
Europe, prominent among them be-
ing the Peerless POtterS, aerialists,
whose daring exploits in the air Is
thrilling in the extreme: the Herzog
high school hOrsrS came direct from
a SuCCeSStul en3d cement dt Cne Flip
podrome, New York City to Norris
and Rowe. 1t i the best equine act
ever seen here. The OrtOn family
recently returned from successful
engagement in Europe, scored hit:
the SuSaomoto family are japanese
performers, par excellent: the Honey
Mora troupe, the Mcdonald family,
the Marvellous Castellos are all uf
European reputation and present
gra ceful and difficult acts. But whv
try and enumerate all of the good
things that Norris and Rowe are
presenting. One must see it to have
any realization of the immensely and
magnitude of the show. Norris and
Rowe are to be watched by the other
big circus men of this country for
they are fast foregoing to the front.
The prOgra mme that they are pre-
senting is tirst-Class in every particu-
lar. 1t is big show, too" The Nor
ris and Rowe circus will exhibit here
Sunday afternoon and night, October
11th aud will present the same pro
gram in every respect that they had
in San Francisco. A big street
parade will be given at 10 O'Clock on
the morning of the exhibition.
