ALL ABOARD FOR
 THE NELSON CAMP
(From Fridays Daily.

tFrom Friday Daily.}
 "It is not a big, transcontinental line. but it will do the business for the present." said a well known Bradshaw mining man who arrived yesterday from Crown King, after taking a ride over the Nelson Short Line Electric railroad that is now running between the mine and the town. The distance is only one mile, and the road was constructed to ex- pedite the hauling of supplies and material. and to reduce transporta- ton charges. The motor is propcll- ed by gasoline engines, and in the initial run made this week, a truck carrying 5000 pounds on a grade from three to as high as six per cent was easily handled. Geo. P. Harrington, manager of the Nelson mines. was the conductor, engineer and brakeman, and expressed him self as elated over the tryout. The gauge is of standard width, and the steel is of fifty-three pounds weight. This adjunct of the company will be extensively used in the future, and when the plant is installed. and pro- duction begins, its utility will be evident. Mine work goes ahead at different points, and underground conditions are reported as indicat- ing that a heavy gold producer is practically assured. Nelson, in short, is enjoying quite a distinction by owning its own railroad, and there is but one mine in Northern Ari- zona in the same rating, the United Verde of Jerome.

During the next few days Secre- tarv Malcolm A. Fraser. of the Chamber of Commerce, will conduct a quiet campaign among local mer- chants and professional men with the view of raising a $500 fund with which to guarantee that the Los Angeles Phoenix race next Novem- Der will be run through Prescott.
 The matter which has aroused considerable interest Of late among local auto boosters was given a wide range of discussion last night at a meeting of the chamber, and the secretary was authorized to con duct the money campaign.
 While there were no outbursts oi wild enthusiasm" for the event at the large gathering of rep resentative citizens in attendance a conservative expression of endorse ment was apparent. providing the race promoters could be induced to make Prescott one of the night controls.
 Several of the members present headed by R. \. Fredericks, affixed their signatures to the blank pro- vided for contributions and the out look, after the meeting. was good
 Judge Frank O. Smith, R. N Fredericks. Mayor William H. Tim erhoff, w. A. Drake, Dr. Ralph Roper and a number of others dis cusscd the race topic at length and the majority conceded that the out lay of $500 would be well repaid in the amount of advertising Prescott would derive. It is also understood that Attorney General Bullard, of fcial referee of the Triple A, is in hearty favor of the plan to bring the race through Prescott.
 Secretary Fraser should meet with a hearty response everywhere in his campaign for money.

 STRENUONS DOINGS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

(From Thursdays Daily.)
 In culling from his personal ef- fects many articles that will be us ed when he enters the Pioneers Home in Prescott in a short time, William Miller, of the Hassayampa, yesterday showed many acquaint- ances in Prescott a reminder of other days on the coast, when he brandished a bowie knife that had all the carmarks of having done valiant defense work in the dim past. This weapon, he stated, has a history in life sacrifice that 1 am reluctant to rehcarse in detail" He would mention only one instance to prove that it had accomplished its purpose. That was when it was in the hands of a bandit named Nc Cabe, from whose dead body 1t was taken after the owner had been shot down. As an implement of manu- facturc. it shows an artistic crea- ton that is quite praiseworthy for the days of so long ago. But from the viewpoint of a weapon with which to attack and destroy, 1t is formidable one even in this day, if close quarters are the issue. The blade is exactly twelve inches long, and sets in front of an old-time buck horn handle, making the whole piece seventeen inches in length. It weighs over three pounds and the greatest width of the blade is one and one-half inches: Mir. Miller stated he has had the knife in his possession for nearly forty-five years, and yesterday was the first time it had been taken from the scabbard in over thirty years. He presented it to V. A. Reichard, manager of Ruffner's stables.

 HIMELF FOR JONES

PHOENIX. Sept. 23.-Editor, Prescott JournallMiner, Prescott, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-I notice in a recent is sue of your paper a dispatch bear ing a Phoenix date line, wherein l am made to say that I will demand of the Democratic State Committee, at its first meeting. that Corpora tion Commissioner r. A. Jones be requested to withdraw from the tick ct, as a candidate for reelection.
 I am not positively certain who sent this telegram, but l do know that in so far as it refers to me 1t ise wholly incorrect and untrue have never made such a statement as IS credited to me. and have nev- CT had occasion to do so. As Q Democratic nominee. I shall support the entire ticket and will take great pleasure in so doing.
 AO llOl hllON NHNNlANl OA AADN At is the intention of a few business men in Phoenix to attempt to nomi- nate an independent ticket for the corporation commission. but I can not credit the report to this effect which has been published in papers outside of Phoenix. Mir. Jones Is a Democratic nominee. and 1 take il he will run on the Democratic tick ct and no other, and as a Demo cratic nominee he will receive my vote and support at the general cleo ton.
 am firmly convinced that the person who sent you the telegram in question is a member of the pro gressive party, and did so with the hope of creating discord among the Democratic candidates. and with the idea that such discord would bene- fit the candidates on the Progress sive ticket.
 My object in writing this is to correct a false impression. which may have been created. and as an act of fairness to all Democratic nominees. I trust you will publish it.
 Yours very truly.

 NEW ROAD
(From Fridays Daily.)

Contractor T. C. Snider, who was awarded the contract to build Sec ton B of the Prescott-Flagstaff highway, returned yesterday to Clarkdale to commence operations on the job, and within a weeks time he will have his full force of men and outfit at work.
 According to stipulations of the contract, the three and three-tenths miles of road must be completed within a period of four months. There is no specific date set for the start of the work. but it is the in tention of the contractor to rush the work to as early completion as possible. in the same manner as the work on section A, earlier in the year. was rushed to finish one month ahead of the required time. The present job will cost Yavapai county between S13.O00 and Si4,0O0.
 Section B will complete Yavapai'S portion Of a very important high way and gives this country contin- uous stretch of about eight miles of the best road in the state. The state engineers inspected and ap- proved Section A when completed and the same character of work is promised for Section B.

TIME FOR NEXT
 CLARK TRIAL UNCERTAIN
(From Fridays DailyN

Just when County Road Super intendent D. NJ. Clark will be tried the second time upon the Clinesmth graft charge is a matter open to conjecture. depending almost en- tirely upon what steps Judge Will liam F. Cooper, of Tucson, who is sitting in the case, may take.
 Judge Cooper left for Tucson with in a few hours after the jury an nounced that it could not agree up- on a verdict. His hasty departure was due to the fact that his pres ence was required in his own court. This will run well into October, and after that he will probably de- vote some time to his candidacy for judge in Pima county. This means that the case will remain dormant until at least after election and that it may possibly not be taken up again until the regular December term of the local court.
 A singular situation would offer it. self if Judge Cooper should fail to be elected. Having sat in all the proceedings prior to the trial and during the first trial. 1t would na- turally devolve upon him to preside in the second trial as well. But even should he fail to be re-elect- ed, Judge Cooper's term of office will not expire until January l. In that event he could sit at the sec ond trial ii it was heard no later than December.
