Attacked by IIIinoisan.

HssoSNSo " lliuVioasts
A month ago distinguished son Of
illinois came to Iowa, obviously an
cry and therefore, in one of his hys-
terical moods. He made speech os.
tensibly in defense Of the rules of the
house Of representatives, but which
was in fact, an assault upon those
who had opposed the Republican ma
jority in congress upon the tariff
measure. Not content with burning
us at the stake, he scattered our
ashes to the four winds in order to
make sure that we would be lost to
the Republican party forever and
ever. He exalted me to a pre-emin-
ence among these insurgents which I
do not deserve, but which would be
proud to occupy, and declared, with
vehemence which you who know him
will appreciate, that I had become an
ally of a certain eloquent gentleman
whose Quadrennial business has been
to carry the Democratic banner to ov-
erwhelming defeat. Warming to his
work, he made another speech a few

ed in all the colors of his rainbow
the denunication of those
who committed the horrid crime of
voting against the tariff bill, and
again consigned them to the lowest
depths of Democratic perdition; and
then to completely satisfy his lust for
blood. he assigned to Senator La Fol-
lette and myself superheated cham
Der in his region of the damned. With
all these imprecations, explosions and
determinations still ringing in my
ears, feel like a member of the "a

WORK STARTS ON
 NEW POWER PROJECT
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Another splendid water power proposition now practically under headway, for the generating of elec- trieal service, is that of the Pacific Water Power company, located at Deadman $ Canyon, on the Verde river. Work on this gigantic pro iect was started a few days ago by force of men being sent to the site where the main plant will be located, and where the first work will commence in grading the ground for the water fumes Following this, it is the purpose of the company to continue in other lines and to push the project to completion. The com pany intends to enter the field and supply an estimated horsepower of 4,5OO, and it is believed that the To- cation of the project is one of the most desirable in this section of the territory. Nothing definite could be learned from the management of this enterprise as to the particular field they desired to cover in this project, but the suppositiOn is that mining, particularly to the east of this cOun- i ty, will be the main objective for the present, together with furnishing light for the camps that are located in that section.
 Associated with the inaugurating of another power plant that is to utilize the natural resources of the Verde river, and the incalculable ben eft that will follow in reducing the expense of mining to a minimum, to gether with the assistance that com mercial pursuits will receive in ono way and another, it would seem a: if industrial life is on the eve of . renaissance and that the progress Ot mining would be stimulated moro than ever through the application oi this new power.
 Interest will follow the work nov by the Pacific people, and in enter ing the field only the more favorabl,
 is the material life of this seetiol
 to be benefited.
 F.. II. Meek of this city is tn : president of this company, beinj X among the first to early recogniz 7 and grasp the proposition of install ing this particular method of pOwe ' transmission that is revolutionizin l all communities where it is practiC able to conserve the natural resource e of the country.

INTEREST IS FELT IN
 VISITORS TO BISBEE
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Bisbee mining folk are intensely in terested in the arrival there of the heaviest and most active stockhold- CTS in the Bisbee Extension Mining company, General Manager Cute, Vice President Poss and Yockey, who come for the purpose of thoroughly examining the property and extent, nature and efficacy of the develop ment done to date upon the property.
 The Bisbee Extension, because of its unique position in the Warren dis trict. holds more of interest to the mining public than any of the mod ern prospects in this region. Lying east of the great mass of sehist that divided the surface of the lime beds that have on their western half con tained the famous copper ore bodies of Bisbee's neighborhOOd, the actual development of ore within the prop erty above mentioned would make practically certain the situation of q belt that would contain the possi bility of doubling the great orc zone's capacity as producer of red metal.
 Mir. Yoekey has refrained from ac cepting a position as an official or the eompany's records, but it is cer tain that he is one of its heaviest if not the largest, of its stockhold CTS. Yockey also is the gentleman who financed the Detroit Tigers ant placed them so near the pinnacle O the baseball cosmos.

FIREMEN PLAN BIG
 DoINGS FOR LABOR DAY
From Wednesdays Daily,

(From Wednesdays Daily
 It seemed like return to old time conditions last night at the meeting of the fremen of this city to again outline the work that goes with a general celebration.
 There were present representatives of all companies, and in addition many members were present to cheer up the man behind the hose. Chief Johns presided, and the committees were appointed to handle the various events the fremen Of the department are to shine in on Labor Day.
 Those who will handle the hose races are Assistant Chief J. H. Rob inson, Foremen Little, Sharpneck, Broaded and McLane.
 On the Darktown Fire Brigade Committee there will be J. N. Rod enburg and Thomas Scholey.
 The finance committee is made up of Messrs. Voge, Morris, Hilton and Peter.
 On printing are Messrs. Jackson, Farley and Beatson.
 It was decided to have a wet test and a straightaway race. But two teams will compete, these to be se- leeted from the four companies of the department. There will be no in dividual teams in these contests. One of the best events of the day under the direction of the iremen will be the humorous Darktown Fire Bri- gade demonstration on Montezuma street, at the close of the day. This revival of an old time celebration is sure to be interesting.
 A new racing cart for the depart ment was also ordered last night from the east. It will arrive in time for the Labor Day celebration. It is especially designed for future racing events, and can be used for service also at fires.
 Appreciating the excellent work rendered at the fire that nearly de- stroyed his home, and recognizing the invaluable services of the pioneer iremen of the city on many other occasions in line of duty, Hon. Hugo Richards, who arrived a few days ago, rendered the boys a splendid lunch, which was very much enjoyed, and the thanks of the meeting was extended him for his kindness.

MONK! HoNK-A BIG
 AUTO RACE ON TAP
From Wednesdays DaiIY)

Automobile enthusiasts are outlin- ing a program for their part of the doings on Labor Day, and it will be one of the novel attractions of the celebration. It will be speedy, too; regular Barney Oldfeld event. A route for this display of skill and speed is being selected, but as yet has not been definitely determined.
 One plan is to have the machines start from Prescott at intervals of ten minutes. Granite Mountain, ten miles distant, will form the first lap Prescott being the terminus.
 Six cars are to be entered, and it is estimated that five hours will bt required for this event, the interest ing part of the contest to be wit messed at the end of the journey il this city.
 Last evening there were three en tries for this race, Frank Foster, o A. Hesla and Reese NJ. Ling. Other are also willing to enter, and it il probable that at least eight machine will start. The purse for the winne will be $100.
 The Labor Day committee on trans portation has received some low rat figures to prevail during the celebra tion. From Phoenix a rate of $3.5 will be given for the round triI From Jerome it will be $2, and one half fares will be made from Crow King and Ash Fork, with correspond ing rates from other points.

ELECT PRESIDENT
 OF THE SMELTER
rFrom Thursdays pally)

lFrOm Thursdays Daily)
 Confirming what has been exclusive ly stated in the JOurnal-Miner on different occasions, that the COnsol- dated Arizona Smelling company was in process of reorganization and that the big plant would resume opera tions, a dispatch received yesterday at Humboldt by F. N. Flynn, the consulting engineer, reads as fol lows:
 "New organization completed. Please report heneeforth to Presi- dent William Sehaw, Jr., 24 Wall street.
 "A. L. DWIGHT"
 This means that the board of diree- tors have elected Mr. Sehaw presi- dent, who is a member of the bank ing firm of Mueller and Sehaw, which advanced money to the old smelting company on its bullion shipments,
 The election of MT. Sehaw also indicates that the board is in con trol of a majority of the directors who favor the taking over of the Mineral Hill property, northwest of Bouse This is an immense iron flu1- ing proposition and several experts have been upon the ground and re- ported favorably upon it during the past six months.
 While the telegram received yes terday by MT. Flynn was brief, yet the information that the organization had been completed, must convince the most skeptieal that the company means business. In fact, the work that has been in progress at the smell ter for the past sixty days has been of such a substantial character as to lead to the conclusion that a rs- sumption of operations was intended. The machinery has all been placed in repair and about $2O,0OO is being expended in the construction of a reservoir for the storage of water.
 With the blowing in of the shelter there will be hundreds of small prep critics resume development and ship ping, and the value of the impetus it will give to trade eonditiOnss can hardly be overestimated. Within three months after the smoke begins to roll out of the furnaces, an un- preeedented prosperity will open over northern and central Arizona. Be sides. the existence of shelter faeil- ities will stimulate investment and attract that class of capital that deals in large projects.
 There is an abundance of ore al- ready in the country to insure the continuous operation of the smelter successfully, and when market is assured, there will be a supply forth coming that will neeessitate an in crease in the smelting facilities.

JoURNALMINER GIRLS
 WIN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 2S.- Special Dispatch )-The matinee at the Orpheum was hugely enjoyed by the Journal Miner girls, especially the real horse race that was enacted on the stage. The bill this week .s particularly good, and one of the voealists sang a song for the oe- easion that was complimentary to the Arizona girls. The audience also endorsed the compliment by applaud ing so vigorously that the girls knew what was demanded of them, and arose in the box and bowed their thanks.
 This evening the party was the guest of H. I. Russell, superintendent of the United Verde & Pacific rail road at Jerome He took them to Long Beach and there entertained them like princesses, as befts gen erous, loyal-hearted Arizonan.
 The ehaperon tonight received a wire from E. s. Simpson, managing editor of the San Francisco Call, asking for the privilege of extend ing eourtesies to the girls in behalf of the Call, during a part of their stay in that city. All of the girls are well, and about fifty ArizOnans have called at the hotel in order to greet them. They could stay here a month. if time permitted, and be continually feted and entertained. A Bisbee paper has three girls here, en route to the exposition, but they are hardly noticed, and do not class with the rosy-cheeked representatives from old Yavapai and northern Ari zona.

MOHAWK MINE IS SOON
 TO BE OPERATED
CFrom Thursdays Dailv)


 From trustworthy sources the Jour nal-Miner learns that inside of sixty days the old Mohawk mine, near Hooper, will be under operation, this determination having been reached at a recent conference of its eastern di- rectors, following a thorough inspect ion of the underground workings.
 The property is now under the con trol of the Worth Mining company, new organization. For several years the ground has been idle, nOth- ing being done except the annual assessment work.
 The mine is equipped with a mill and other facilities. The Mohawk is situated in a strong mineral zone of the Bradshaws, about mile from Hooper, The starting up of work again will be watched with interest and the general opinion of miners who are familiar with its possi- bilities is that it IS a good piece of ground.

BIG FUTURE FOR
 THE GLADSTONE
cFrom Wednesdays panyl

(FPom Wednesdays Dailyl
 It is understood at McCabe that the Ideal Mining company, owning the Gladstone mine, will heneeforth op- crate that property independent of
 ny other enterprise, and that they have refused to renew the lease to Massey, Hammer & Go. It is also stated that the vast mercantile and landed interests of George Hammer in McCabe have been purchased, and hereafter the same will be conducted by the Ideal people as an auxiliary to their mining enterprise.
 The lease of Massey, Hammer & Co. expires 'on August l, and appre- eiating that any further working of the Gladstone would return but g nominal sum, the leasers concluded, Monday evening, to suspend work, and to practically turn the mine over to the owners. In the meantime, or up to the first of the month, the mine will be pumped out, so that water will not flood the underground work ings, thereby permitting the opera tion of the mine at all points if it is desired, when the company assumes charge.
 Many reports are in circulation over the future of this splendid min ing ground, all centering in the be- lief that it has been decided by the company to equip the property with the most up-to-date machinery, and of a sufficient capacity to permit of great depth being reached. In this connection it is said to be practic- ally out of the question to continue development to any greater depth with the present equipment, hence 1t is but reasonable to assume that the new machinery is necessary, and will be actually placed on the ground.
 Several who are conversant with the situation at that point also say that it is the purpose of the Ideal company to operate at all points on the system, and on a greater scale than has ever before been attempted in that section, the basis of future work being due to what is now in evidence at all points from the sur face to the bottom of the main shaft.
 After disposing of his interests in that section, commercial as well as mining, MT. Hammer will retire from the active life he has followed in this section for nearly a quarter of a century. It is said to be his pur- pose to reside hereafter in southern California, and immediately after the transfer of his property is made he and his family will leave for their new home

NEAR BURGLARY
 EARLY THIS MORNING
CFrom Thursdays Daily)


 "Hist!"
 Now, "hist" is a perfectly good, ladylike word on the melodramatie stage or in ordinary conversation, but when it is hurled at one ffom the dark reeesses of a doorway in the darkest hour of the night, which IS currently reputed to occur just be fore dawn, it is somewhat discon- certing.
 All of which is "leadin' up and appertainin' to" a story of a near crime which might have been com mitted early this morning had it not been for the vigilance of a band of sturdy amateur sleuths who had the late s. Holmes backed off the boards, and headed due south.
 Somebody heard something, or thought he did, in the store of Ed Block, at 3:45 this morning. Some body told his friend, and the friend was soon able to distinguish the form of a burglar, burglaring away in the most approved fashion, aided by the ftful glim of a dark Ian tern, only he didn't call it ftful.
 It was at this dramatic period that the first "hist" was histed. It was not long before the Old Guard turned out in battle array:
 "Their's not to question why,
 Theirs just to do or die," or words to that general effect.
 At any rate, the doors were guard ed and a hurry call sent for the police and Mir Block. The latter arrived in jig time and proceeded to turn on the lights and hold open house for the large and distinguished audience which had by that time as sembled.
 A thorough search of the premises was made, one young man, wearing la large and intelligent-looking six shooter, even going so far as tC peer into number of button boxes
 The gentle reader may have guess ed by this time that the burglar was not found. and the searching party resolved itself into a commit tee in the whole, and resolved: First that the noise heard Was that of |: guest of the St. Michael falling asleep; second, that if there was burglar he had been frightened f, death; and, third, that there wasn any burglar in the first place. After which the meeting adjourned | "Hist!''

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
From Wednesdays DaIlyl

IT IOEl cuNCSUd1 DdAAgf
 The following will be read with interest by many Prescott people, as Mir Timmons formerly resided in this city. It is taken from the Yuma Sun of recent date:
 "Distriet Attorney W. F. TimmOns is the luekiest man in town. He was at his home recently at dusk, and had prepared to retire and had on a pair of cloth slippers, such as are generally worn about the house, and had occasion to go out in the yard, where he has a big bath plunge, when he stepped on sOimething in the path way and felt a sting through the shoe and thoughtlessly grabbed for it with his hand, and the intruder, which proved to be a rattlesnake, struck at him again. This time the fangs grazed the right arm, just above the elbow.
 ''The fact that the snake had spent the poison of its fangs at the first strike at the shoe, is all that saved MT. Timmons from being a very sick nan today. As it is his arm is slightly swollen from the poison which he received. Notwith- standing his condition, however, the district attorney was present attend ing his duties before the board of supervisors
