RICH ORE CUT IN
 SHAFT ON MILDRED.
(From Wednesday,s Dnilyl


 Word has been received from Stanton. in southern Yavapai to the effect that the crosscut from the shaft of the Mildred mine has cut a body of excellent ore. The cross cut is in ore for five feet and the hanging wall has not been reached Miners at the camp have subscribed heavily for shares in the company on the strength of the strike. The ore is heavily fninera'izeL with steel galena and sulphides carrying good values in gold and silver. The strike is at depth of about 300 feet on one of the best defined Assure veins in the district Some of the rock is rich enough to ship ard the strike IS considered of great importance.
 The property is equipped with a ten stamp mill with amalgamation plates and concentration tables. IL Is the intention of the management to install an aerial tramvay from the shaft to the mill to carry the ore automatically through the plant with one handling. A cyanide plant may be installed if test runs on the ores shows it to be necessary 10 make close saving.
 Dan B. Genung, who is in charge of the mine and whose practical work and untiring- energy have done much to bring tlie property to its present attractive position, is a native of Yavapai and well-known in Prescott.

nsas-Burroughs Group
Leased to Berger and Sayre

The Kansas s-Burroughs, group OF
mines on Quartz hill have been
bonded to Messrs. Fred Berger and
Robert Sayre OF Denver. This will
be welcome news to many who have
waited on the reopening Of this prop.
erty, which means so much to the
Quartz hill section.
The transaction will involve close
to a quarter of million dollars. The
property taken over includes the Con
ley, Phoenix and Kansas Burroughs
also the Kansas, Pease-Kansas, I'm.
iversity-Kansas and Monroe mines.
These properties will be connected
with the Newhouse tunnel just as
fast as upraiseS and shaft-sinking can
be accomplished with the use of ma
chino drills.
The unwatering of these mines by
making tunnel connection will mean
the drainage OF all mines on the
north slope of Quartz hill, thus per.
mitting scores of other properties to
work. which have been hampered
in the past with too much water.
The Burroughs has $50 feet
OF virgin ground above the tunnel
level, while the Kansas vein has 600
feet below the bottom Of the shaft.
The opening OF this new ground will
mean many added millions to the al
ready immense gold production OF
these mines.
The operation Of these properties
and the opportunity afforded to work
the many other mines that will be
benefited. means the employment OF
hundreds Of miners and the com
plete retuvenation Of Nevadaville.

MORGAN ON THE
RECALL OF JUDGES

The following letter was written b,
walter M. Morgan to the editor o.
the Arvada Enterprise in response tc
query from him as to Mr.. Morgan's
position in regard to the recall OF
judges. The letter follows:
Editor Arvada Enterprise:
with reference to my attitude on
the question as to the recall of
judges. wish to say: 1 am a Demo
crat because ! believe the mass of
the people is more nearly right than
the few; the foundation, establish
ment and maintenance of our Demo
cratic or Republican form of govern
ment depend entirely upon the will
OF the people. 1 believe that the
people should have just as much
right and even more, to remove any
public officer as they have to elect
him; and l believe the public should
have the right to recall and remove
a judge just the same as any other
official. A Judge is just as human
the day after he is elected as he
was on the day before.
IF client hires a lawyer such
client certainly has the right to
change him or secure another lawyer
for any cause such cliert sees fit
to use. Then much more, and by all
rules Of logic and principle. when the
people elevate a man to the bench,
the people should be allowed to tell
him when to retire. 1 am what and
where / am, in SO far as public po-
sition is concerned, because l firm
ly and sincerely trust and believe
in the free will Of the mass Of the
people as expressed by them at ell
ections. Who ever is. unwilling to
trust the people is certainly not a
proper person to be trusted by them.
Very respectfully,

Council is Democratic
People Do Not Want Change in the
City Government and So Indicate
By Their Votes.

At the polls Tuesday the Demo
cratic administration in this city was
fully vindicated by the citizens, who
indicated by their votes that they
were satisfied with the conduct Of
the city government and had no de
size for change. Thomas Cody was
elected mayor, Oscar Williams, al
derman from the first ward, and
James Powers, alderman from the
second ward, all three being on the
Democratic ticket. The Republicans
elected Fred Bowden alderman from
the third ward and in the fourth, the
strong Republican ward, elected Jas.
Moody and VIM. Warren.
The vote in the second ward be-
tween Henry Peck and James Pow
ers, aldermanic candidates, was very
close. the Democratic candidate be
ing elected by two votes. In the
fourth ward, the race between James
Moody and Ed. O'Neil was also very
close. Mr.. Moody carrying the ward
by just three votes. The strength
of Mr.. O'Neil in the Republican
stronghold was phenomenal.
The day was an ideal one for the
contrasting parties to get out their
vote. Both sides worked hard but
quietly and before the vote was
counted it was difficult to predict
the victors. The Republicans felt
most sangmine all day. During the
campaign, they got the foolish no
ton into their head that they would
score a clean sweep; that their false
campaign statements about Demo
cratic misconduct and ext-avagance
would make an impression upon the
voters and the political complexion
OF the city courcn would be changed.
The Simonites were sorely disappoint
ed over the results as the council
still remains safely Democratic. -Whel
the new council organizes it will be
