1t might be that his mind was too

her feet, all a-quiver with agitation.
"Do you hear" she whispered, and
her hand clutched Gray's shoulder with
an energy which set his heart beating
high. He did not answer. He had
heard no unusual sound, but he was
not without faith in her.

She had blurred consciousness of a

assurances that everything was all

Arizona Assessments.

While the latter part of the year 1907 was most disastrous to the mining and commercial interests of Arizona, it would appear that the territory will show millions of dollars in increase of taxable property. So far as heard from none of the counties show a de- crease, while some of them show more than million dollars over that of last year.

 E. P. Lambert came in from Mineral Park last Tuesday evening and took the night train to his home in St. Louis. He and E. J. McNulty have located number of mining claims in the Gold Basin section and have open. ed them to considerable extent. One of the veins has been crosscut to a width of twenty-five feet, the ore show. ing copper and gold values all the way. Other veins show high values in gold. Mr. Lambert believes they have one of the best groups of mines in the county and will interest capita in thelr future development.

This is the first conviction ever obtained on this charge, although there are many people who should be doing time for the same OtfenSe.

The Santa Fe flyer, which should have reached Kingman last Monday morning, was wrecked west of Hol- brook, the train while running about forty miles an hour going into a burnt bridge. Engineer Clarence Curran, of Winslow, fireman Benjamin Thomas, of Gallup and c. l.. Partridge, pas senger from Redlands, Cal, were in stantly killed. About forty passengers were badly injured. A special with doctors and nurses was sent out from Los Angeles, making record break ing run as far as Ash Fork, where it met the train with the injured and conveyed them to their homes and the hospitals of Los Angeles. The run from Los Angeles to Kingman was made in eight hours thirty-four min utes, beating the best time over the road for that distance. The wreck was caused, it is thought, by the burning out of the bridge, fire having caught from passing freight train late Sun- day afternoon. The rails were still in place and the engineer apparently did not discover his danger until he was going down. He set the emergency and possibly saved part of the tram from piling up.

He had gone into the shaft to shoot a missed hole and is thought to have been overcome by foul air and fallen from the bucket after giving the sig nal to hoist, and when about twenty five feet from the bottom. He was brought to the surface as soon as pos sible and everything done that medi- cal skill could devise, but he never re- gained consciousness and died last Tuesday night. He was buried at Goldroad last Wednesday evening, the camp turning out to pay its respects to the memory of deceased.

This question was asked Of a large.

'Oh, sure" he beloved. support Hitch
cock? Why. the Dahlman Democracy will
tear its shirt off for that silk-stockin' boy.
How else could we repay him for his

say, what the Dahlman Democracy Will
DO to that man Hitchcock will certainly be
a plenty and he'll know It,"
This gentleman said a few oiner things
whose appearance in print would net adorn
this paper.
The Dahlman Democracy does not have
TO vonder what Mr.. Hitchcock will do TO
It. The congressman-editor has made as
plain as words can where he stands on
that question-agsinst Jim with both feet.
This Information he gave to Tom Flynn,
sam RothweI and Joe Butler, three Dahl
NANTES. who called upon him privately
the other day for the specific purpose of
governor.
No withOut Eq~uivOcatIOn.
Hitchcock's no" was as plain and di-
rect as he could make it, but the three
emissaries say he did not as explicitly state
his reasons. His reasons, therefore,. have
become the subject OF some comment Here
is the wal one very prominent democrat
puts it:
"Hitchcock's one ambition in life has
been to get to the United States senate.
To use his own words, he felt the weight
OF the toga' on his s. Julders once and
then all of a sudden IL was snatched away
and placed on the broad back of Bill Allen.
This was when Governor Poynter had all
but named Hitchcock TO succeed the late
Senator Hayward and changed his appoint
ment in a fifty at the dictation Of Bryan,
who wired from Texas to appoint Allen.
That was the sting Of ingratitude.' and
from that day to this the support Mr..
Hitchcock has given w. J. Bryan has
been like the obedience OF a child under
the rod. Neither Hitchcock's contempt for
Bryan nor his ambition for the senate has
ever wsned, but both have been religiously
nurtured, awaiting only the opportunity
for open manifestation. If Hitchcock
dared he'd turn loose on Bryan in his
paper today, but he knows IL would b.
political suicide for him. That and moi
his loyalty TO Bryan is the only power
that restraints him and his paper.
