To the Democratic Voters of
 Arizona.

Having been a resident of the Territory of Arizona for thirty two years past and a democrat since I was old enough to vote, I request at your hands the no- imitation for the office of Secre- tary of State.
 My experience with clerical work and familiarity with the Territory at large, believe that T can say without egotisn, qualify me for the office
 My democracy has never been questioned and I have always worked early and late for the success of the Democratic party
 I endorse without question the constitution of the State of Ari- zona and believe in it's doctrines
 l should not have sought this honor but for the fact that we believe the democracy of the north is entitled to share of the apportionment of offices and I do not believe that I am ask ing too much on behalf of the north. If nominated and elect ed, I shall serve the people of the State with all my ability, honesty and zeal. Should I fail of nomination, you will find me at the coming State election doing as I have done in the past. working for the election of the entire democratic ticket.
 Very respectfully submitted,

The descriptions range from two or three lines, in the case of dead companies, wherein re- ference is made to detailed des- criptiOuS in past volumes at the period of their activity, up to twenty one pages in the case of the Anaconda mine, which yield one eighth of all the copper made in the world.
 The miscellaneous chapters of the book, twenty-fo in number, treat the subject of copper from all possible viewpoints, there being chapters on the history, chemistry, mineralogy, metal lurgy, brands, and grades, alloys and substitutes for copper, with a cOpiOus glossary, and chapter of statistics ending the book that contains 4O-odd tables, thoroughly co vering copper production, consumption, move- ments, prices,- dividends, etc. The Copper Handbook is sold on the unique plan adopted nine years ago, the publisher sending the book by mail, prepaid, to any address ordered, without ad- vance payment of any sort, and subject to. return after a weeks inspection. The price is S5 in d. strong green bucl1ram binding with silk headband and gilt top, or S7. 50 in full library morocco Anyone interested in copper, as = a producer, consumer on invest or in shares, would do well to write the author and publisher, MT.

THE FAIR.
Many Thousand Dollars to Be
 Contested for.

The racing program for the Seventh Annual Fair to be held at Phoenix November 9th, to 11th. has just been made public by the board of Fair COmmiS- sioners and includes racing events for purses aggregating over twenty thousand dollars Three hundred harness horses from all parts of the United States have entered for these events.
 The Arizona Copper Stake races, one for 2:19 trOtters and one for 2:12 pacers will of course be the all-star attraction of the races. Each are for a purse of S3, ,OOO.OO and there are so many entries that the present indica tion is that both the trot and the pace will have to be started in two divisions.
 Of the horses new to Arizona Vernon Mckinney, a Canadian horse, is probably the most famous of the entries. Then there is Don Pronto of Oregon and Teddy Bear of southern California There will be sev- eral big stables on the ground the largest probably the one owned by the Durfees of Los Angeles and a close second the stable controlled by Dick Mo Mahan of Liberty vile, Illinois.
 . A few days ago at Sacramento Billy Durfee took the famous Copa de Gro the star of his stable out on the track and drove half mile in 58 If seconds. He writes his friends here that he is anxious to get to the Phoenix track and barring sick ness and an accident to his horse he is confident he will do a. mile that will make the whole race world set up and take notice.
 The racing program is divided over the entire six days of Fair week but it is given in the after moons after the crowd has had ample opportunity to visit the twenty different exhibit depart ments and view the thousands of exhibits there on display.

Col. Pickett in Gila County.

Col. H. l.. Pickett, of Tomb stone, who is making a vigorous campaign for the United States senatorship on the democratic ticket reached Globe last night. Colonel Pickett is modest in his claims but says that if the cor diality which has marked his re ception wherever he has appear ed is an indication of how they will vote he has no fears for the outcome.
 My opponents in the fight for the senatOrship are all hon Orable men, so far as 1 am aware, and all are fitted for the high office," said Col. Pickett this morning, therefore I am deeply interested in making clear to the people who listen to my speeches what I stand for and where I stand with regard to the great questions now up- perm ost in the minds of the peo- pie of Arizona and devote my speaking time to that end par ticularly.
 T have not indulged and will not indulge in personalities for two reasons-I have no enemies to punish and my time is so taken up with a presentation of my own ideas of government that I have no time to devote to eXtraneOuS matters. l would be very glad, of course, if it could be arranged that harmony rather than dis cord would prevail throughout the world, but un- fortunately the human mind has not reached that state of per lection where discords will not creep into our daily life in some form once in a while "-GlObe, Arizona.

THREE THOUSAND WEBBS.

Three thousand Webbs, every one a Democrat, met a few days ago at Webb's Prairie, Franklin county, Ill.,, for the nineteenth annual reunion of the Webb family. Unfortunately, Robert E. l.. Webb of Tucson in the forest service, was unable to be present. He is also Democrat, and he would have liked to be there and tell the Illinois and Missouri Webbs that there are Webbs in Arizona, and that there is not one who has defied the family tradition and deserted the party of Jefferson.
 There are over 5000 WebbS living in the vicinity of Webb's Prairie and practically every one is related to all the others. It was from the same stock that the goodly number of Webbs in Arizona sprung.
 The Webb Reunion association was formed in 1892, and re- unions have been held each year since then. Mr. Webb is plan ming to attend one within the next few years. He hopes to take with him his father, Sam F. Webb of Meridian, former speaker of the house in the le- giSlature, and one or all of three brothers who are variouSly scat tered about Arizona and Cali fornia. Citizen.

Brother of King Becomes In
 tereSted in Arizona Mines.

P. M. Gopservic, who admits being a brother to the king of Servia, but takes more pride in being an American citizen, has left Tucson for San Francisco, with the intention of returning here in about two weeks. He is one of the principal stockhold- CTS in the Victoria Mining com pany which recently entered into an agreement to purchase the McAneny placers at Great erville for S25O,OOO.
 MT. Gopservic's friends among them J. B. Hannah, president of the Victoria company, say that he has a right to put the title of
 count" before his name, but does not wear it for everyday use. Possibly having in mind the well known turbulence of the Servian kingdom, he re- nounced his rightful succession to the throne in favor of the present King Peper, and with another brother, MinOs Gopser- vic, came to America to make their home Both are interested in the mining company. They have taken out naturalization papers as American citizens Tucson Citizen.
