that his opponents name was similarly

sence the board adjourned to meet
again Saturday morning to take up the
Tazcwcll and Buchanan matter before
0 full body, although there is little
doubt that the Democrat will get the
certificate.
Names Different.
In making out the returns, the cleo
ton commissioners for one OF these
counties stated that Samuel Mus tard
received so many votes. while for the
other II was reported that S. r. Mus
tard was voted for. Adding these to-
tails together. there would have been
a largo majority for Mustard over his
Democratic opponent, w. p. Payne.
The board could find no authority for
Investigating and determining qucs-
tons OF identity. and the members felt
that they could not take II for granted
that Samuel Mustard and S. p. Mustard
were the same man, To attempt to
settle n question Of this Sort II was
argued, would make a dangerous precc-
dent. Nor could any authority be found
for sending the returns back for cor
rcction. AS a matter of fact. II Is pre-
sumed that they arc correct as they
stand. and that Mr.. Mustard filed his
name In tho two counties in different
form. in which cage the commissioners
could do nothing save TO record the
votes us they appeared on the official
ballot. It appears to have been MIR.

he be given the certificate Attorney
General Williams said that were he a
member of the House OF Delegates, and
should evidence be produced TO show
that Samuel Mustard and s. j. Mustard
were enc and the same. he would vote
TO seat him. But TO get the seat 1t Is
probable that the man who made the
mistake must bring a contest.

Ashurst JubIIant and Thankful
(By He nrY F. Ashurs-.

'
 It is impossible at this time for me to reply to the numerous letters and telegrams of congratulation that I am receiving over my nomination as one of the democratic candidates for United States senator, but a reply will be sent to each as soon as possi- ble. Ia the meantime, permit me, through the columns of the Copper Era, to convey my expressions of gratitude to all.
 am impressed with the fItiIity and inadequacy of words in attemnt- ing to convey to my friends through out all portions of Arizona my thanks for their splendid loyalty and fidelity to me. do not know Of an insta nee in American politics where friends and supporters have been more loyal and true than mine have been, and particularly desire to thank the thousands of noble women of this ter ritory whose valuable work grea tly assisted in bringing success to my candidacy.
 The people of this territory are terribly in earnest. They are going to drive "big business''out of poll tics and they demand that politics shall be run by the people. That the pro- gressive democracy of Arizona will achieve a great victory at the polls on December l2 there is not the slightest doubt.

All Ready for Fair

Phoenix, ArtZ., Oct. 30-An order for the regiEental band from Fort Huachuca to attend the Arizona fair at Phoenix during the week of No vember 9th to 11th has been issued by General Leonard Wood who recently visited ArizOoa for the purpo SC of in- specting the various army posts. This feature of military music will form another important attraction for the visitors to Phoenix during the fair. The band will be mounted and is at tached to the Sixth cavalry.
 So that the visitors may receive every consideration while in Phoenix arrangements have been made for the listing of all spare rooms and the work of advising visitors where ac- commodations may be had has been undertaken by the Phoenix Board of Trade. Householders in the city are notifying the Board the number of people that they can accommodate and the lists of rooms for rent can be ex- amiued at the office of the Board at any hour of the day or night from the opening day, Monday, Move mber 9th, until the end of fair week.
 Many persons desire to engage quarters in advance and this ca D be done by writing the Board or by tel egraphing, as numbers did a year ago. Work is beinU rushed on the paving and lighting of the main streets of the capitol city and every thing is being planned to make the stay of visitors one ot pleasure. Work on the Adams hotel is being hurried forward for the opening on Noy. 9th and the other hotels are making ready for large number of guests.

Campaign Lie Nailed By Ashurst.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. Henry F. Ashurst, of Prescott, one Of the demo- cratic nominees for the United States Tucson to attend the meeting of state candidates to night. He is receiving the hearty congratula tions Of his local packers on the fine race he made throughout the territory.
 With reference to newspaper pub lications in Tucson relative to his asking his supporters in the recent primary to vote for him alone, Mr. Ashurst asserts that there is abso- lutely no foundation for this report. Giving special attention to frequent repetition of this charge and edi- torial comment in the Tucson Citi- zen, MT. Ashurst today stated:
 "The Citizen charges that at late date in the campaing, I sent tele- grams or caused them to be sent to my supporters in the north, asking them to vote for me alone. The Citizens statement is absolutely false. I never asked anyone to single shot me, or vote for me alone. My friends in Prescott are offering a reward of $500 if the Citizen or any other paper or person can produce a single telegram, or letter showing that directly or indirectly I or any one in my behalf with my knowle ige or consent, ever solicited or advised that anyone vote for me alone. This reward will also be paid to anyone who will prove that or any person in my behalf with my knowledge or consent ever orally solicited that anyone vote for ma alone. So here is an opportunity for the Citizen to make a little easy money.
 "An analysis of the returns, how ever, discloses that a few persons in Prescott did vote for me alone. And it is also true that about correspond ing mum Der voted for MT Smith alone. An equal number voted for Mr.2Ives alone. The same is true of MT. Ling. |
 "All telegraph companies in Ari- zona are hereby given full and complete emission to make public to the Citizen or anyone else all tele- grams sent in connection with my campaign"

DEMOCRATS ARE CONFIDENT
 IN BEGINNING OF CAMPAIGN
Candidates Phoenix and Plan for First Work of Contest; Tom Weedin Present to Offer His
 Services to Men Chosen by His Party

Douglas, Nov. 3.-Coming from Phoenix, where he had been to attend the conference of the democratic candidates for st4te offices, D. Il. Johnson, candidate for state treas urer on the democratic ticket, ar rived home this morning filled with enthusiasm and confidence for the success of his Dartg. He stated that with few exceptions all the candi dates were in Phoenix and that they were all of them feeling sure that success awaited the voting on DeCem- Der 12.
 Besides the candidates, Hon. Thos. F. Weedin, defeated candidate for governor, was present to tender his services to MT. Hunt and to all can -didates on the democratic ticket.

He will make sew eral speeches in the campaign and urge that every democrat stand firm for the entire ticket.
 According to MT. Johnson, mo time is to be lost in starting the democrat ic campaign and Mark Smith, Carl Hayden, George Purdy Bullard and Sidney Osborne will eo to Yuma ou Saturday night to address the people there.

Sound of the Blast Is Heard From
 Every Hill Side

The sound of the blast is heard now on the hill. very enthusiastic. Work on annual assessment is in full busy. Hundreds of men are out on the hills these days. A large amount of money is requisite for this work and most. of it is spent in Clifton.
 The New England Consolidated is doing some very important develop meut work incident to the occasion. Nearly all the work will be for great CT depth on promising leads. The work is looked after and directed by MT. G. H. Dudley of the Standard Mines. The Greenlee' Gold, Camp is busy, as usual, George Williams, Will lis James, Lloyd Tevis, Crispin Bros, George Stevens, all are hard at it.
 There have Leen no phenomenal strikes, but values are showing very good, and large veins are the rule. The big Nissen stamp on the proper ty of J. F Smart, is pounding away values are here, and can be gotten out Of the Ore-
 A good many of the ore shoots of the district are gold, silver with cop per values at depth, but there are great gold shoots with small silver values (amalgamated) which are worthy of attention by capital Of the latter class is the property re- gently acquired by Montana people represented here by Mr.Pat.O'Neill situated north of the Polaris.
 The ore shoots of the Greenlee Camp are of this class. There is still good deal of open ground in the district, to the north, but it does not show much mineralization. However, the big Comstock Bonanza was turn ed down for years for the same req son.
 The ground is full of water, which makes sinking more expensive and disagreeable.

Winsor in Line
(By Mulford Winsor)


 According to advices received from unofficial but reliable sources, the fact of my defeat for the Congress sional nomination is definitely estab- lished. While this naturally causes me regret, shall neither repine nor pout, nor falter in the dght for the principles I have, in my modest way, represented, and which I endeavored, in the Constitutional Convention and in this primary campaign, to uphold. Not less than heretofore, I believe in the Rule of the People, and so be- lieving, cheerfully bow to the will of a majority of the people who escaped disfranchisement under the terms of a narrow partisan enabling act.
 In this hour, when the Democracy of Arizona, occupying a position in the forefront of the fight for progress sive popular government, is on trial, ad1ure the able men who have been chosen to bear our party's standard to victory, to do so hravely and un- haltingly-to so declare themselves and so conduct themselves, both as candidates and as servants of the people, as to bring triumph to the peoples cause and give lustre to their own achievements.
 In a good old-tashioned Democratic victory, such as is assured, there will be glory enough tor all-for the can didates who were unsuccessful in the primaries as well as those who were successful-but it must be borne in mind that a good old-fashioned Dem ocratic victory will only be made ter and in spirit, of the true Demo- cratic principles typifed by and em bodied ip Arizona's progressive con- stitution. That Constitution, justly lauded as the high-water mark in the growth of popular government, shall continue to be the battle-cry in Ari- zona until the people, whose rights it protects, shall be firmly entrenched iu the power which to them belongs and the fortress of their rulership shall become impregnable.
 am deeply grateful to the friends throughout Arizona who gave me their loyal support-more because of the faith they thus expressed in the policies for which I stood and shall continue to stand, than for any pos sible tribute to myself. Especially am grateful to the people of Yuma
