Told By Orc Shipments

One of the best evidence of the
improved conditions in Phoebe is the

Bristol side of the camp to the ter
minus of the Phoebe Pacific railroad

r. c. Lund, to whom the Day-Bris-
tol and Home Run companies have
contracted their ore hauled, sta ed
that by the middle of next week he
will have at least u head of horses
in ore hauling service at Britsol and
20 more on the MeRdha ore haul
making in all 100 head of stock,
At the present time there are at
east rs men employed in the Bristol
district, where six months ago there
was not single man.
A well known mining man said CT
the Bristol district few days ago:
The activity in the Britsol district
is just beginning. People are awak-
ening to the fact that it is one of
the best mineral regions in the Mest,
and the recent rich strikes made by
both the Day-Britsol and Home Run
companies is sure to create boom
in that part of the camp. | predict
that there will be 500 m1n working

CURRENT COMMENI'
The Effect of Vermont.

No one who has access to a consider
able number of newspapers can fail to
be impressed by the serious tone in
which the result of the state election in
Vermont is discussed, and the evident
recognition of the lesson which it pre-
sents to the Republican party There
must be united action by all those who
believe in Republican principles and who
believe that the success of the Democra-
cy would be nothing short of calamity
TO the country The Democrats are not
divided this year, as they have been at
every presidential election since 1896
and they must be met by the united and
vigorous Effort of all sincere Republicans
If the principle of protective tariff and
other Republican policies are to be main
tanned. President Taft must be re-
elected, or the Democrats will come into
power Any Republican who casts vote
for any of the other candidates Social
ist, Prohibition or Progressive-easts
half vote for Wilson. The president
and the Republican party alike deserve
different treatment, and the best in
terests of the country demand it And
st is evident that this is being realized
since the election in Vermont as it had
not been fully realized before.-Manches-
