 Fellow Feeling For Dogs.
 The long strain of the march had given brotherly sympathy to the trio Of human strngglers Under the same strain was made the descent to canine levels. The dogs. though still possess ing the savage ferocity of the wolf, had taken Us Into their community. We now moved among them without hearing a grunt of dIscord. and their sympathetic eyes followed until we were made comfortable on the cheer less snows. If our dogs happened to be placed near enough they edged up and encircled us, giving the benefit of their animal fires. To remind us of their presence frost covered noses were frequently pushed under the bag, and occasionally Il cold snout touched our warm skin with rude awakening. We loved the creatures, however. and admired their superb brute strength. Their adaptability was a frequent top ic of conversation. With pelt that was guarantee against all weather conditions they threw themselves down to the sweep of winds in open d9A- ance of death dealing storms. They willingly did prodigious amount of work each day. and then as bedfellows they offered their fur as shelter and bones as head rests to their two footed companions We had learned to appre- ciaie the advantage of their beating breasts, The bond of animal fellow ship had drawn tighter and tighter in long run O. successive adventures.

Per kins feels somewhat enthusiastic over the showing made to the present depth, and states that it is the pur- pose of the company to inaugurate an extensive system of development for the immediate future. On the group is a tunnel 375 feet long and other work performed that gives an index of what may be expected when depth and exploration is given on the plans now outlined. Several claims are in- cluded in the ownership of the com pany, gold and copper being the metals.

The board of supervisors will be asked to district the county into justices precincts in accordance with the law on that question and if such is refused, mandamus proceedings will follow.
 The segregation act of the general law will be respected if such an elee' tion is held and while the vote of Prescott will be counted, the result will affect only the corporate boun- daries of it and in no manner will it's vote be counted for or against the outside districts. Jerome will be placed in the same position as Pres colt and both cities will vote inde- pendently of the issue SO far as the results go on the outside
 The advocates of the measure for a countrywide election contend that they are forced to action at the earliest possible date and in this move they say they are actuated by the recent action of the board of super visors.
 Ten per cent of the voters of the county are required to permit of local option election and this number, it is said by the advocates of the "dry" movement, will be forthcom- ing in a few days, only $50 sigma lures being necessary for general county election.

According to the statement made yesterday by N. A. Vyne, the attOr- ney for the Mayer prohibitionists, it has been decided by them to arrange for a countrywide local option cleo tiOn and he has been retained to of fieially represent them in the move ment.
 MT. Vyne, who returned yesterday from a professional visit to the country, says that there is a strong feeling expressed against Supervisors Smith and Stewart in connection with the method they pursued as to the recent elections held at Walker and Kirkland, both of which precincts voted "dry" by a considerable ma jority. This feeling, he said, was noticeable in an element that was neutral to the issue.
 , MT. Vyne said that the element is almost solidly arrayed against the "wets" but that semi-offieial action for a general county election has been taken in the Verde valley, Kirk land, Walker, Humboldt. He says he has also informed in Prescott that at the proper time a petition would be circulated here for signers.
 Reports from southern Arizona are to the effect that the Anti-Saloon League of Arizona with Dr. H. A. Hughes as the president of the or ganization will have charge of the campaign and will send their repre- sentatives to personally conduct the fight.
 MT. Vyne also states that cores pondenee with every district in the county will be started at once and he expects to have the machinery in

ARIZONA AND THE CENSUS.

It is a positive certainty that when
 Supervisor of Census Franklin IF.
 Towle of Globe completes his com pilations for Arizona next year, the
 general public of the United States
 will be treated to a revelation con cerning the resources and population
 of the region known in the story
 books as the land possessing little else than painted deserts, fantastic sunsets, curious insects and reptiles, says the Globe Silver Belt. It s is doubtful whether in the whole area which the United States census will cover, there will be a state or ter ritory showing greater changes for the better in its number of inhabi- tants, its mining, agricultural and other industries.
 The inadequate idea gained from a perusal of the census returns of 1900
 is made readily apparent by the fact that Globes population is therein
 given as 1,495, while the total of inhabitants for Arizona is listed as 122,212. In view of Arizona's s prog ress along different lines during the last decade, such figures make the last census returns read like an ex tract from a joke book or the hu mOrous supplement of a Sunday news paper.
 It is well nigh impossible to form any accurate estimate of the wealth, population and natural developed re- sources of a region like Arizona that is as large as New England, New York and New Jersey combined. The only thing we can be sure of con cerning it is that its advance along every line has. been phenomenal dur ing the last 10 years. And we can be<s sure, also, that the getting of the accurate data concerning the differ ent branches taken up by the na- tional census will furnish one con tinuous round of agreeable surprises with the total result to cap the 
 In the face of what the census will | tell about this territory, the be- littlers and decriers of Arizona's in- dustrial and civic condition will have no straw left with which to support | their arguments. The only thing that | has made it possible so far for impu- dent statesmen of the Beveridge type to withhold statehood from Arizona edge concerning her industries and her people has been so surprisingly small and unauthoritative as to de- ] ceive the public. However, owing to the earnest and sincere efforts of some of the peoples representatives, who place principle before political prejudice and personal emolument, Arizona will, beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt, have her state hood long before the returns from the 18th census have any opportunity to demonstrate the truth. But never theless, in the whole region to be covered by the census enumerators, it $ a most probable fact that to no state or territory will the eompilia- ton of new statistics have a greater 'r more far-reaehing significance than t will to Arizona.

Many Kissed the General.

At the Confederate reunion
in Memphis General Fred Grant,
son Of General U. s. Grant, was
captured by the ex-Confederates.
The capture of the son of the
great Northern general is one OF
the most charming victories OF
peace of which we have any ac-
count. The old Confeds charged
upon General Grant to shake his
hand and many Of them kissed
him. The general shed tears of
JOY over his reception and the
manifestation Of love from those
who fought his father. He tried
to make a speech but was over
come by JOY and could not talk.
Truly, the bitterness of the late
skirmish has passed away. Hon
