IS as certain for Taft as is the personal vote of Theodore Roosevelt Bryan had everything Co gain and nothing to lose by making war on Guffey. With respect Co disafection in the states where there is chance of democratic victory, the Ncbraskan has shown him. self an adroit and altogether sensible politician. In the matter of harmon. izing where harmony was worth while, it doesn't appear that Taft has many shades the better of Bryan.
 There is no reason to believe the coming campaign is going to be an es. pecially exciting one, and if the serious differences in both parties are patched up things will move along very smooth. ly to November.
 This lack of vital interest among the masses of the voters is going to be about the most troublesome thing the campaign managers will have to con. tend with. It's going to be hard work to get out the vote. Apathetic years always are dangerous to the party in power, and apathy will be especially dangerous to the republicans this year because of the feeling of certainty in the party that Taft will be elected Republican managers recognize that the stay.at.home vote will be danger. ous in close states, and especially to be feared in the congressional elections Take Indiana as an example. Republi can leaders there declare there is nc doubt the state will give its electoral vote for Taft, but they express uneasi ness as to the state and congressional tickets. It is only necessary for the democrats to capture a republican dis rict here and there in order to over come the present republican majority in the house of representatives.
 1t is mainly because of their uneasi ness respecting the next house that re | publicans are SO anxious that MT. Sher man, the candidate for vice president shall retain the chairmanship of tn, congressional campaign committee They believe that when to his experi ence. is added the prestige the vie, presidential nomination gives aim, h, can do more for the congressional tick cts than any other man.

According to a provision of the contract the work is Co be begun at once and pushed to com. pletion with three shifts. The shaft IS now down 200 feet. As each hun. dred foot level is passed stations will be cut by the contractors, and from them several hundred feet of drifts and crosscuts will be run on the vein.
 The shaft is equipped with a hoistng plant having a hoisting capacity of l,OOO feet. The equipment includes A full set of mining tools SO that every. thing is in readiness to start the work at once.
 The thirty.onc claims which comprise the company's holdings, cover a series of lodges and veins in porphyry and diorlte contacts.

HAVOC IN WAKE
 or GREAT STORM Ursa WsAnasnsy's Daily)

Groom Creek was visited by the heaviest rain and hail storm experienc. cd in that section in 27 years, Monday afternoon. Rain and hail fell in tor rents in the mountains near the source of the creek for two hours, swelling the stream higher than known to any but the oldest residents, and causing ruin along it's overfowed banks. The bridge at Mackin's station was washed away and two dams above the Majors ranch were wiped out of existence. The upper of the two Majors dams was car. ried away by the first head of water, which is reported to have been ten feet in height. Logs from the lower dam were thrown thirty feet in the air when the flood struck it. Not a trace of it was left when the rusn of water sub sided. The Majors ranch was injured considerably but the crop escaped SC rious damage as the precipitation was not as great there as higher in tn, nhpuHlhiu'' nv hah hlH"NN Sliipp'u the trees of foliage, doing consderabl, damage to the forest.

VERDE OUTPUT TO
 BE LARGELY INCREASED
(From Thursdays Daily,

With the resumption of work Tues day at the United Verde Copper Com pany's scmelteis at Jerome, which have been closed for repairs since July ?, the management announces that the output of the plant will be considerably increased, giving employment to larg. CT number of men. Three furnaces are now running full blast at the great plant turning out bullion in steady streams.
 Work is also being rushed on the lower tunnel, wnich will tap the mine at depth of 1000 feet. This tunnel is now in 4,i00 feet and drift is being run from the shaft to connect with tha tunnel. The drift is now in HOO feet from the shaft and the manage ment expects that connections will Dc made by October 1. The estimated length of the tunnel is 1000 feet. It will serve the double purpose of drain age and working tunnel, being large enough for a double electric motor | track.
 It is believed in Jerome that the smelters will be moved to a point near the Verde River below the mouth of the tunnel later, but there is no proof that the company contemplates move of this kind soon. Adding further color to the belief that the smelters will eventually be moved Is the fact that corps of railroad engineers in the ser vice of Senator Clark is now making surveys into the Verde valley through the Mogollon mountains from Flagstafl with n view of finding the' most feasi' ble route into the valley. However, the company is making many improvements in the present smelling plant in tho way of adding modern machinery which indicates that the plant will mol he moved ,o the Verde in the near flu ture.

BEG LEDGE FOUND IN
 ELLA WICK CLAIM
tFrom Thursday's Daily)


 In his residence of almost quarter of century in the Mount Union sec tion of the Hassayampa district, during which he has been successful in open ing many mining properties which he disposed of to good advantage, Lute Wilson now believes that he is devel- oping the most promising mine ever opened on Mount Union. In the Ella Wick claim he has struck ore carrying good values in gold, silver, copper and lead. The new find was made in the lower tunnel at a distance of 100 feet into the mountain. What he believes to be the same sno' ore is uncover cd in a tunnel farther up the mountain and apparently about l75 feet fartner ahead on the vein. He is confident that the ore tapped in the lower tunnel is the end of the shoot and intends to push the tunnel ahead on the vein as fast as possible to determine the size and extent of the deposit.
 The ore in the upper tunnel carries average values of s45 to the ton. The ore in the lower tunnel is of the same character, with the exception that it IS heavier sulphide. Wilson was here yesterday getting samples of the new find assayed and purchasing supplies. The Ella Wick claim lies immediate. ly south of and adjoining the Storm Cloud mine, in which a continuous ore shoot is opened in n tunnel a length of I 900 feet. As the lower tunnel IS be- ing pushed ahead. the water increases and the ledge becomes looser, gradual. ly widening out. This is a peculiarity of the lodges of the vicinity where orc bodies are opened.
 A very promising ore body was un- covered last week in the Carthage claim, owned by John A. Twiggs and W. C. Kent. The ore was struck by miners employed doing assessment work. IL is two feet in thickness, car rying good values in gold.
 F.. F.. Breed also struck some high grade ore in a claim recently located | by him named the Bullion. Ore carry ing free gold plainly visible to the nak. cd eye was struck in a shaft at a depth of ten feet. Breed is now in the city purchasing supplies to continue the shaft down on the ledge.
