. OFrom Thursdays Daily.)

CFrom Thursdays Daily.)
 The new republican state central committee, the organization of which was completed yesterday follows:
 Chairman, J. L. Hubbell, Apache county.
 Secretary, P. H. Hayes, MaricOpa county.
 Treasurer, John M. Ormsby, Pima county.
 Executive Committee-Apache eoun- ty, Ambrosio Candelaria; Cochise, Parker Woodman; Coeonino, Fred Smith; Gila, Thomas A. Pascoe; Gra- ham, E. W. Clayton; Greenlee, R. A. Franz; Maricopa, R. s.

 The executive committee at a meet ing held yesterday afternoon after a discussion of the needs of the vari- ous sections of the state decided upon an aggressive campaign to be begun at once and continued till election day in December. Every county will be thoroughly canvassed and to make that canvass effective as well as thorough not only every republican candidate for office but every re- publican vote will be called upon to take active part in the campaign.
 The selection of J. Lorenzo Hub bell as chairman of the central com mittee is deemed particularly fortu- nate at this time because of his of the state and its peo- pie and because of his aggressiveness as a campaigner. Equally agreeable to the rank and file of the party is the selection of P H. Hayes of Mar icopa county as secretary.
 Though the party council will not meet until noon today to formulate a party platform those members of that body in the city last night held a preliminary meeting, in the head quarters of the Marieopa County Re publican club at which many propos- ed blanks were Phoenix

ing to escort us east. But we had the modification to discover that the newly-damned, and unabridged, Cheva- lon Creek was "up' and we had to ship the ear by train to Holbrook Here we are-and goodness knows when the ear will arrive.
 While the splendid territorial high way is in process of building, no words can sufficiently express the absolute need of a bridge over Chev- alOn Creek. Here is the presumable transeontinental highway, rendered impossible and torn in two between the oceans for the sake of a few paltry dollars to cover the expense of a bridge. The men about here feel the disgrace of it, and they real ize, now to their shame the full sig nificance of its lack. They are all anxious to get the work in hand and to improve the road through Navajo county to New Mexico.
 They have even surveyed on inn proved road and asked the New Mex jean. county commissioners concerning their part of the road. They are waiting however for scientific confir- nation and approval by your good self as territorial engineer. MT. w. H. Clark had hoped that your visit and that of Messrs. Norris and Bab- bitt would synehroniz with ours, so that the enthusiasm would be kept at fever heat.
 Nowhere in our journey across the continent and back have we met finer men, more enthusiastic good roads supporters, more kindly and cordial hosts-nOwhere have we found worse roads nor travel half so diff cult. And Arizona ought to have the best roads in the country since no other state can boast half its marvellous scenery and interest.
 should be glad if all or part of this letter could find its place in the press-in an effort to rouse the pub lie to the need of some immediate action. The Chevalon Creek is un- bridged- the transcontinental high way is unrealized!
 I beg to thank you for the cour- tesy and kindness you have chown my wife and myself, and I wish Ari- zona every success in throwing open '"God $ country'' to a waiting world.
 Yours enthusiastically for the good roads movement,
 THOMAS w. WILEY.

TERRITORIAL ROAD
 IS READY FOR TRAFFIC (From Thursdays Daily.)

H. NJ. Lewis, constructing engineer of the territorial highway, arrived from Maxton yesterday and stated that today the first vehicle would be permitted to pass over the new grade to the summit of Senator mountain. Heavy freight teams, however, are requested to keep off the road for a few days longer until the surface is capped with deeomposed granite, when the highway will be ready for all kinds of traffic. Contractor Mc-Ken- zie moves the greater part of his force today to the Crook Canyon side to begin work, leaving a small force to complete the Maxton end up the mountain. MT. Lewis states that good progress has been made by Con- tractor Trenberth, and by the middle of next month the most difficult part of the work will have been completed on both sides of the Senator hill.

YAVAPA| BANNER FUR
 BLUE RIBBON AWARDS
For Size and Quality of Exhibits Mile High Beats Maricopa Fifteen And
 Pima Twenty-three Points
(By Malcolm A. Fraser)

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. s.-Due to the immense display of exhibits by Marieopa county, and the large sum appropriated for this county's show ing at the Seventh Annual Territorial fair, the Salt River county won first place for the counties, and will keep the silver cup until next November, when Yavapai county will win it and hold it.
 Yavapai county scored second; and Pima, with a very fine and well di- versified exhibit, in charge of Seere- tary Tailor, of the Tucson Chamber of Commerce, carried of third hon. Ors. Yavapai lost on diversity and arrangement, due in both cases to lack of time for collection of exhibits. Both Marieopa and Pima beat Yava- pal in diversity of vegetable and cereal exhibits.
 Yavapai county is still the banner county for blue ribbons awarded. She received over one hundred and fifty blue, red and special ribbons; this being more than Marieopa and Pima both got together. For size and quality Yavapai county beat Marieopa fifteen points and Pima twenty-three points. Although the exhibits of Yavapai county were col lected in frenzied haste, more stuff came down at the last moment than could have been entered. Some of the prizes were as follows:

CUMBERLAND TO BE
 TESTED BY DRILLING (From Wednesdays Daily.)

Dr. William Woodburn, president of the New Cumberland Mining com pany. with his foreman, Thomas Roach, arrived in the city yesterday from Pine Flat, and state that churn drill exploitation on the group will be resumed next week. The purpose is to explore that portion of the do- main where the mineralized porphyry formation exists. This area extends for about 5000 feet, and offers from surface evidences a most attractive proposition. Dr. Woodburn states that operations will be conducted on permanent basis, and not until ex- act determinations are made will prac- tical mining be inaugurated nor will the mill be started up. Dr. Wood burn returned recently from Des Moines, Iowa, to devote his time to the work that is to be prosecuted henceforth in an energetic manner.

WORK ON TEMPE
 BRIDGE BEING RUSHED

There are two or three reasons now why there will be some faster work on the Tempe bridge. Things have been moving along at the bridge in pretty fair shape all the time though to the casual observer from the out side, it has looked rather slow. Much of the work though that has been done thus far has been more or less of preliminary nature but has now reached a stage where it will com mence to show up.
 Captain Van Siclen went to Flor ence yesterday morning and returned last evening with eleven more men. This makes the present convict force an even sixty. Of the additional party brought down yesterday there were several Americans and a couple who have been in this part of the country before. One is a young man who was convicted of stealing a suit case from the Tempe house last win ter, and the other is Jim Daley of Mesa.
 A feature of the work, however, that will have more to do with its future fast progress, is the installa- tion of the new engine and pump. This new equipment was started to work yesterday and gave splendid satisfaction, throwing twice as much water as the former pumps that were used. The smaller one can still be used when needed and with all this water handling equipment on haud, there will be little future trouble with water in the excavations.
 With the addition to the working force and the new equipment, sec ond shift is to be put at work at once and this plan will probably be fol- lowed until the completion of the big job with possibly three shifts at work some of the time. The new shift will go to work at o'clock in the after noon, at the time the day shift goes off and will work until l o'clock in the morning. Provisions for lighting the work with electricity have al ready been made and the night work will likely be in progress by the last of. this week.-Phoenix Republican.

REPORT OF NELSON,
 STRIKE IS CONFIRMED
tFrom Fridays DaiIy)

NfEOn FI1udN DdhSJ
 Additional information of the big strike that was made on the Nelson mines near Crown King, was learned yesterday from Geo. P. Harrington, who states that it is unquestionably one of the most important develop ments that has ever been made in the Bradshaw region, when depth is taken into consideration. He states that the nine-foot ore body was struck in the drift 15O feet from the bottom of the main working shaft which is 150 feet in depth. The ore is a heavy iron sulphide, character istic of that belt, and average samples assay from across the vein returned from SIP to $15 per ton, principally in gold. The ore body was carried in the drift for 50 feet farther to ascertain its permaneney, when opera tions were discontinued and sinking the main shaft was resumed, the in- tention being to reach a point about 200 feet deeper.
 When a point 175 feet from the surface was reached, another interest ing mineral condition was discovered. A wedge shaped shoot of ore coming in that showed copper sulphurets to be supplanting the iron sulphides above, and carrying a grade that will probably be valuable enough to stand shipping. When first cut into the top of the shoot was about two inch es wide, but when penetrated for five feet had widened to fifteen inches. The shaft will be continued until 100 feet is reached from the upper drift, when drifting will be started north and under the upper shoot where the big body has been demonstrated. MT. Harrington is elated over what has been accomplished and feels sanguine of opening up another big producer for the Bradshaws. This is the third big producing mine he has been iden- tified with in that region, where he has operated for over twenty years, l and is regarded as one of the best informed men on mineral conditions | prevailing in that section.

CROWN KING PROSPEROUS
From Thursdav,s DailYl

It is reported from authoritative sources that the greatest showing ever made in one month by the Brad shaw Mountain railway in traffic handled at Crown King station, was made during the month of October, when the gross receipts paid at that point were over 5000. At other sta tions the revenue derived also showed a significant improvement in industri- al conditions over any preceding month for several years. But three trains a week are running on this line out of Prescott to Crown King, which makes the showing all the more cred itable for the Bradshaw mining region at the present time.

APACHE BRAVES
 ANXIOUS TO RETURN
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
 Regarding the probable return to Arizona of Geronimo's band of Apaches. who have long been in captivity at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, the following dispatch from Washington will be of especial interest to the people of this section:
 Exiles from their home for nearly quarter of a century, the remnant of Geronimo's s band of Apaches, who have been military prisoners at Fort Sill, Okla. may now return to their old hunting grounds in New Mexico. Col Hugh L. Scott. Third Cavalry, who is regarded as closer to the In dians than any other army officer by reason of his long residence among them, has been selected by the War department to conduct this return movement. He is already at Fort Sill in conference with chiefs of the tribe.
 A difference of opinion exists among the Indians as to their future. The younger men prefer to remain iA Oklahoma. The elders desire to re- turn to New Mexico, where they sur rendered to General Miles after one of the most protrseted and sanguin- ary campaigns in the annals of In- dian warfare.
 Colonel Scott has notified the de- partment that he has arranged to make up a party of half dozen of the chiefs, representing the various factions. and take them to New Mex leo, with the object of letting them report to the Indians upon their re- turn. A feature of the plan for this removal of the Indians from Fort Sill involves the transfer of the bones of Chief Geronimo.

When the United States by the Gadsden Purchase in 1854 first came in contact with the Apaehes they numbered about 10000, and long had been at mortal feud with the Mexi- cans. The whole tribe went on the warpath in 1860. The opening of the Civil war caused the troops to be withdrawn, and in a short time the Apaehes had murdered or driven out every white inhabitant of Arizona Territory, except a few hundred who took refuge in Tucson. For ten years an awful Indian war devastated the country.
 General Crook, after fighting them for years, was replaced by Gen. Nel- son A. Miles, who finally eornered the band in 1886 and forced it to surrender. The attempt to settle the fierce bands on a reservation in Ari- zona aroused so much protest from the settlers that the Apaehes were removed to Florida, then to Alabama, and finally to Fort Sill, Okla.
 The tribe now numbers about 5000 half of the original force. Although prisoners, they have the run of thou
