honored member of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers.
Politics have ever had a fasci-
nation for Mr.. Smith, and he be-
gan to take a small part in the
political life of Cochise county.
His ability as an organizer imme-
diately became apparent and his
rise to power in the republican
party was phenomenally rapid.
In 1908 he was made chairman of
the territorial republican central
committee and with the help OF
a united party, elected Ralph Cam
eron as delegate to congress over
Marcus A. Smith, who had served
a number of terms and was sup
posed to be invincible.
Since that time Mr. Smith has
been one of the recognized lead
ers of the republican party in
Arizona and at the recent prima-
ries he was unanimously nomi-
mated for a national senatOrship
The other nominee is his close
friend, Ralph Cameron. the man
whom he did so much to elect
three years ago.
FEN S. HiLDRETH.
Fen 5. Hildreth was born in
Ukiah. California. October l.. 1876.
His parents were Robert NJ Hill
dreth and Emma c. Fisher, pio-
neers in that vicinity. At the age
of IA he left home and began to
fight life's battles on his own ac-
count. That he has succeeded can
not be gainsaid. for he is today
one of the most learned land law
attorneys in the southwest and
head of the largest company in
the country formed for the pur-
pose of making scrip locations and
selling land scrip.
When he left home Fen Hildreth
did so with the firm determine
ton of securing an education for
himself, so he worked his way
through grammar and shigh
schools. finishing with a course in
the San Francisco business col
lege. Following that he clerked in

earlier. was named as the tempo
rary seat of government Here
all arrived on January %, 1864.
In May the fort was removed
some twenty miles southwest and
near it. in July. the town of Pres
colt, the temporary capital, was
founded.
BY proclamation of April
three judicial districts were Great
ed and the judges assigned: the
marshal was instructed to take

Is there was chosen a council of
nine members and a house of
eighteen. also a delegate to Con-
gress in the person of Charles ID.
Poston. The legislature WAS in
session at Prescott from Septem-
her % to November 10. This
body adopted mining law, and
general code of laws. prepared by
Judge Howell and called in his
honor the Howell code, being
based mainly on the codes of New
Mexico and California. 1t also
divided the territory into four
counties under the aboriginal
names of Mohave, Pima, Yavapai
and Yuma.
Arizona now has fourteen coun-
ties. carved from the original four
in the following order: Maripoca,
1871: Pinal. 1875; Apache, 1879;
Cochise. ella and Graham. 1881;
Coconino. 1891: Navajo, 1898;
Santa Cruz 1899 Greenlee, 1909.
In 1867 the capital was removed
to Tucson but it was returned to
Prescott in 1877. The executive
offices rested in Prescott till 1889,
when the first act of the sitting
legislature was to remove the cap
itaI and itself forthwith to Phoe-
nix. At Phoenix it is probably
fixed for all time. inasmuch as
population and accessibility alike
favor the location. The legislature
met in the city hall until the
magnificent capitol building, just
inside the west line of the city,
was completed.

make the people see the logic of
the republican contention. He be
lieVcd that the party was growing
stronger instead of weaker, as it
seemed to some others. He eX-
planned the reasons for his views
to the party leaders, but without
success.
on the day of the republican
territorial convention Mr.. Cameron
was asked if he was willing to
make the race himself. He re-
piled that he was, and he was
nominated.
That very night he began the
most remarkable campaign that
was ever conducted in Arizona. He
made an effort To see every one
of the voters and tell them that
he intended to go to Washington
and get statehood for Arizona. He
was right in every way. The party
was stronger than il ever had been
before and the people were ready
to send a republican delegate To a
republican congress. He was elect
ed by a handsome majority.
Some day Mr.. Cameron may be
induced To write the history of
Arizona's final fight for statehood.
He led it and he knows more about
ii than any other living man. And
he iS more responsible for Ari-
zona'S admittance To the Union

MINES
The first pioneers came to Ari-
IONA i'm search of the precious
metals. gold and silver. They did
not know that they were invading
the worlds richest mineral store
house nor that the unknown
lands of. the southwest embraced
agricultural empires destined to
become the abiding places of thou
sands of people. 1t was metal that
they we're looking for. and they
defied fierce Indian tribes, water
less deserts and other terrors
whose existence they did not sus-
pect in order to find it.
And they found it.
Had il not been for the mines.
Arizona's agricultural develop
ment would have been slow indeed.
This would still remain the un-
known land that il was % and 30
years ago. There would have
been no Roosevelt reservoir. no
Laguna dam. only a few scattered
farms where there are now vast
productive areas made fertile by
irrigation
Arizona gained prominence first
as "A producer of silver. In 1881
the total value of her silver pro-
duction was $6.27S.S45. the highest
point In 1898 came the historic
slump in the price of the white
metal. The output of Arizona
for that year totaled only $500. 900.
Many big silver mines closed down
about that time. some because
they were worked out and others
because the low price of silver

Some Arizona HISTORY

did not permit their being worked
at a profit.
The drop in the value of silver
was a terrible blow to Arizona and
she did not recover from it for
number of years. Many of the
old mines still have vast deposits
of low grade ore and doubtless
there are other deposits undiscov-
cred because the search for silver
has practically ceased.
At the present time Arizona is
secure in her place at the head of
the list Of copper producing states.
Her production climbed steadily
for a number of years after the
silver. slump and in 1905 she took
first place over Montana, which
had held the premier position
number of years Now it is con-
coded that her mines. when worked
at their fun capacity, can produce
more copper in any year than
those of any state. or of any for
cign country

Arizona after others had failed for
nearly half a century.
Ralph Cameron is a native of
the state of Maine. He was born
at West Southport. October y,
1863. his parents being Henry and
Abigail Ann Cameron. He secured
a good common school education
and early in life visited Il number
of places about New England. In
1889. when a resident of Boston,
he decided to come west. and upon
February II of that year he ar
rived in Flagstaff. which has since
been his home. He was elected
to various offices there, estab
lishod a store and was married
there to Miss Ida May SpauldinG,
November -. 1895.
Besides engaging in the general
mercantile business. Mr.. Cameron
raised sheep, farmed a little and
engaged in mining. He followed
the usual pursuits of the western
pioneer. and while he was wrest
ing living from the new land
in which he had made his home.
he was winning a reputation
among his fellow pioneers rs
man Of ability. honesty and sterl-
ing integrity. In short. he was
recognized as a man who could
he trusted i'm little as well as
great things.
Ralph Cameron was the first
sheriff Of Coconino county. after it
was created 10y act of the legisla-
turc. He was his own successor,
serving four years in the shoriffs
office lie was also elected twice
To- the board of supervisors. The
first two years he was chairman,
but he resigned because his bust
ness did not permit him to devote
as much OF his time to the county's
affairs as that position required.
The name of Ralph Cameron is
inscparably linked t. that Of the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. He
visited the canyon first in 1884.
and foresaw that it would become
the Mecca of millions of tourists.
What was needed. he decided. was
a trail to make the depth Of that
magnificent gorge accessible.
During the years that followed
he visited the canyon several times
and selected a route for his pro-
posed trail. In December. 1890. he
put a force of men at work con-
structing the Bright Angel Trail,
now known all over the world as
bottom. The work was completed
i'm 1891, and since then the trail
has been maintained by Mr.. Cam
eron and his associates. That trail

Chicago to be Scene Of Next
National ConcIaye.

Washington, Dec. 11.-With the ar
rival in Washington Of practically all
the members OF the Republican ma
tional committee, REINFORCED by party
leaders from nearly every state, 1t be-
came possible to forecast just what
will be done at Its meeting tomorrow.
As a result Of the many conferences,
the following program seems to have
been agreed upon.
Chicago viii get the national conyen
ton apparently beyond all question of
doubt, and it probably viii be held
June Is or IS.
There will be no fight for the chair
manship of the committee at this time,
Former Governor John r. Hill OF
Maine, the vice chairman, will be
elected to serve until the presidential
nomination is made. William Hay
ward will continue as secretary. After
the convention a chairman and other
officers, agreeable to the candidate,
will be elected by the new committee.
The question Of selecting delegates
at presidential primaries or by the
customary conventions will be left en-
tirely to the various states to deter
mine for themselves. President Taft
is said to have favored this disposition
of the matter.
Inquiry develops that a majority of
the Republican national committee are
opposed to any change at this time in
the method by which delegates to the
national convention are named. There
Is q good deal of sentiment in the COM
mittee favorable to the presidential
preference primary idea. Many who
tndorse 1t, however, insist that until
machinery can be created by law to
carry out this plan it will be unwise
to adopt IT.
There is n good deal of gossip in ho-
tel lobbies over the outlook for the Re
~publieans. 1t Is based on the belief
that Is entertained by nearly all the
leaders now assembled here that Mr..
Taft win be r~enofnfnated. It is known
that a majority of the members OF the
national committee favor the renomi-
nation of the president. Most of them
profess to believe that he Will be re-
elected.
