Early this morning Esq. J. R. Douglass
was reused from his peaceful slumbers by a
couple who had come to town on the 3 clock
train and wanted to be spliced right then
and there. AS the call was so urgent the
obliging official stepped out and performed
the ceremony in the garb as sans culotte-
in fact he did the trick in his nightie, and
the happy pair went their way rejoicing.
Wo knows but in this unique performance
Judge Douglass has founded new fashion.
Come to think of it nighties are not altogeth-
er out of place in this connection, and are,
moreover, very useful garments. However,
until the new style becomes more widely US
ed most people will prefer being married
with their clothes on.

LAW ENFORCEMENT IN NASHVILLE


The anti-democratic forces of Nashville are
advertising that city as going to the demni-
ton bow-wows through an era of lawlessness
and are making noisy campaign for law en-
forcement. On the face of their hue and
cry the leaders of the alleged reform move
ment are sincere, but you may set it down
as fact that they are not. Some of these
law enforcement fellows would be bowling
louder than they are now if the laws were
actually enforced in Nashville, because it
would tread on their immaculate toes. Do
any of those holy men own any buildings in
Nashville leased for saloons, gambling bells
and brothels? And do they know it is un-
lawful to lease property for immoral and il
legal uses?
Law enforcement, indeed. Many of the
ministers Of the gospel in Nashville dare not
enforce the laws Of God and their church
against their church members If they did
their membership and salary would dwindle
away. And they know it, The yelping is
merely done in order to cover the real fight
control of Offices and patronage of the city.
The spoils of office and hatred of every thing
Democratic is the inspiration of the law en-
forcement brigade, and they should be buried
under an avalanche Of Democratic votes
high.

Hull has made splendid record in the house

 MANY VERDE MINES

and branch line will run up the valley and terminate near Cotton wood, Or within four miles of the mouth of the projected tunnel. This will give the tunnel undertaking an economical outlet in handling the inn mense product of the properties, through which the success of the proposition is assured.
 In outlining the plans of his com pany to tap the treasures known to exist in that field, MT. Layman states that the projected tunnel will trav- erse a distance of over 5000 feet. In that length 1t will erosseut at least twelve distinct groups of claims, and will reach a depth of from 400 to 5000 feet. The mouth of the new tunnel will be located be- low the town of Jerome, and when in operation but one central power plant will be necessary to handle the development of any mine along it. The various mine owners, individual as well as corporate, are said to be highly elated over the probability of work beginning sOOu,, stating that it is the most practicable method yet advanced for opening their proper ties, and the feasibility of the propo- stion one of the convincing argu- ments in it's favor.
 MT. Layman, before leaving for Phoenix, yesterday, stated that after his return in a few days, he will make Prescott his home, and base of operations.

 s. c. Yeomans, general manager of the company, while in the city yesterday, and Edward Melter, a heavy stockholder, both stated that So far as the water problem was to be considered, no uneasiness prevail. ed. Both were along the creek to be damned, during the heavy rains, of a few days ago, and say that a volume of water passed in a few hours that would have filled the pro- jeeted dam to the brim several times. With summer rains maintained at the normal fall recorded, they feel con fident of the enterprise proving very remunerative.
 MT. Yeomans is en route to New York on company matters, and states that the preliminary business has been adjusted for the beginning of work on the dam, and active work will start up in a few days. He will return in a few weeks to di- rect operations, and in the meantime permanent surveys will be made.
 The company has acquired over 1000 acres of old and well known placer ground, and a favorable con- dition attached to it is that a small portion of the field has been sue cessfully worked for many years by different owners, the gravel being hauled to Skull Valley, five mile, distant, and sluieed with big pro- fit.

 ObtaiDable. The great unheard ma jority of which the farmers are the most considerable class, are the people whose interests demand a tariff com mission composed of men of the S-OoeSpI dDAAts, HuSAAby duO 1IImucSS of character. And a properly con- stituted tariff commission will not confine itself to facts and arguments presented it will seek out the facts. That class of industry which is too scattered or poor to present its case will hove its interests considered, nevertheless. Farmers are well aware that the good or evil of tariff commission will depend upon the at tainments, character and purposes of the men that compose it. The com mission may be an aid in the making of a tariff which is demanded by good financial policy and the wei fare of all classes, or it may be an aid to fasten more securely inequal- ity and injustice. The farmers have not passed unnoticed the special ae- tivities of the present tariff board. Farmers have the intelligence to note that wood pulp, and not lumber, cot ton goods, chemical, steel or rubber schedules were the first investigated. Farmers have not failed to note recent significant converts to the cause of a tariff commission. Not withstanding the comparative de- crease of farm population, and the coalition of East, South and extreme West in tariff legisla- tion, the farmers of this country have and will have for years not only enough voters, but enough thor 'ughly independent voters, to defeat and effectually any party pr national administration or Con- yress responsible for such a eonsti- tuted tariff commission as will in- crease or even maintain, or will not greatly reduce all excessive duties and other capabilities and injustices n tariff"

WESTERN UNION
 OFFICIALS IN PRESCOTT
(From Wednesdays Daily.) )

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 Hugh McPhee, district commercial superintendent, and R. H. Miller, dis trict traffic superintendent, of the Western Union Telegraph company with headquarters at Los Angeles, have been in Prescott for the past two days, on business connected with the change of management of the To- cal office, Manager C. H. Loder hay ing resigned.
 P. L. Baker, the travelling auditor, is temporarily in charge of the of flee until a new man capable of fiE- ing the requirements of the Prescott office, can be obtained.
 Messrs. McPhee and Miller, prior to coming here, visited the various of fees of the company in Southern Arizona, their mission being not only to get in touch with their patrons, but to ascertain where improvements could be made in the service.
 "While we have no competition in Prescott" said MT. MePhee, "we want to give the very best service possible here. Our aim is to make it so good as to create new business, and to that end we are only too pleased to hear from patrons who have complaints to make. For the volume of business at this office, the wire facilities are ample-in fact, better than they have been for years previous. We now have a wire to Los Angeles, via Phoenix, where a set of repeaters are installed, and that line can be used whenever there is trouble with the wire from here to Ash Fork, or along the main line of the Santa Fe. Recently the rail road has reset practically all of the poles which carry the Western Union wires, between this point and Ash Fork, and the danger from violent storms is now reduced to a minimum. The western division of the Western Union was reorganized a few months ago, and its offices on the Coast are now in the hands of young men, whose ambition is to increase the eff ] fieiency of the service and create | good will and more business.' '
 Messrs. McPhee and Miller left yes ' terday afternoon for Los Angeles, but expect to make frequent trips to the Territory. Both were charmed with | Prescott and freely expressed the opinion that it is the most substan- tial and best looking city in Ari- zona.

So well pleased are the members of the Yavapai Bullion Mining com pany at the possibilities of their placer mining enterprises proving a success, that it has been deemed ex- pedient by several stockholders who are on the ground, to revise the plans originally outlined, and to go ahead sn a more comprehensive line. The change is due to conditions on their placer domain, and in order to work the ground to the best advantage, the storage system outlined will be abandoned, and a service installed that will increase the capacity of the water storage. The new dam agreed upon will have a length of TO feet across the Copper Basin Wash, on the site surveyed some time ago. In construction it will be on the arehed principle, and will have a height of at least thirty-five feet. It will be of concrete, the plan being to follow the same course as other similar undertakings are constructed on larger scale.
 Also associated with the building of a larger dam is the desire to handle the ground on a far more ex- tensive scale than on earlier plans. Instead of a Hume being laid from the water storage reservoir, twelve inch pipe will be used, which will give a direct flow to the beds to be washed with giants. Late surveys

Eastern financiers are diligently engaged in perfeeting arrangements for the early beginning of work on the great undertaking of the Jer- ome Tunnel company, a project that has for it's purpose the development of twelve mining claims along the belt of the United Verde lode. Since initiated a few months ago, the en- terprise has created much interest in that locality, and aside from the individual claims it will open to great depth is regarded as one of the greatest propositions in building Jerome into a new and stronger com munity ever advanced. The company was incorporated a short time ago, and the management has been ener- getically engaged since perfeeting the preliminaries of the gigantic un- dertaking.
 Coincident with the launching of this plan to tap the different proper ties, J. M. Layman, secretary and manager of the company, at Jerome, states that the possibility of the building of the Humboldt and Verde Valley railroad is one of the strong and attractive inducements behind the project. In fact, he stated that while in Prescott, a few days ago, it is practically the key to the situa- tion. He states that inside of the next two years the railroad will be built from Dewey to Camp Verde,

Woods states that at the present depth, the walls are well defined and carry a vein of ore five and one-half feet in width. Copper and gold are the principal values, and at the bottom tnefe IS mdIAeu increase III Lnese metals compared with the surface.

The Joe Don mines are connected on the south end with the Big Pine Group. As developed the vein is strong and mad not the sale been eonsummated after several weeks of negotiations, the intention was to establish a permanent camp and be- gin operations by shipping the pro- duet to market.
