INFORMATION IS NOT OBJ
TAINABLE ON ELECTION
(From Fridays Daily.)

Many inquiries as to the outcome
of the initiated and referred meas
ures and on the vote for the sew
eral offices have been made in Pres
colt recently. At the present time
it is almost impossible to answer
these questions accurately, due to
the fact that complete returns have
not yet been made by a single coun-
ty OF the state to the secretary OF
state.
1t is probable that the returns
will be made by the boards of ST.
pervisors to the secretary of state
early in the coming week. Most OF
the boards are scheduled to meet
on that date. AS soon then as the
official count is sent to the secretary
of state. he will make an official
compilation of the totals of the sew
eral counties, and will issue these
returns to the newspapers of the
state over his seal of Office.
1t is, however, safe to say that
the eighty per cent bill and several
other measures have carried, that
the county division bill, the five
million dollar bond issue bills, the
California fairs measures, and others
have been defeated, but the exact
standing of the anti-blacklist bill,
and the bill to abolish capital pun
ishment cannot be said, so close
was the balloting for and against
them.
Complete returns OF the election
should be available by the last part,
if not by the middle of the coming
week, and will be published as soon
as they are issued by the secretary
of state.

SMITH PROTESTS IN
BEHALF OF STATE
(From FRIDAYS Daily.)

Following out the desire OF the
Chambers OF Commerce of most of
the cities OF Arizona, according to
news received in Prescott yesterday
Senator Mark Smith has telegraph
cd Secretary of State w. ]. Bryan
and the secretary of commerce and
labor at Washington vigorous pro-
test concerning the action of Great
Britain in impeding the shipments
OF copper to other neutral countries
from the United States. The pro-
test was couched in the following
unequivocal language:
THE prosperity, if not much of
the business life of this state, de-
ponds on the United States main
tanning that copper be conditional
contraband, and that we insist on
the right to ship the same in neu-
trail bottoms to neutral nations. As
far as our right to property is con-
cerned, any other attitude on the
part of the government leaves us
on a par with the belligerents.
I'm the name OF the people Of
my state, / beseech recognition of
our right to sell under the law of
nations and the protection of our
government.
Our copper producing states, and
especially Arizona, will be ruined
unless our government declares cop
per conditional contraband and full
ly protects shipping in neutral bot
toms to neutral nations.
If our trade with neutral nations
is to be prevented by the belligcr-
ents, our peace is little preferable
to war. After copper is made con-
traband, how can we prevent bread
stuffs, clothing or shoes from be-
ing treated likewise whenever it
suits the caprice or advantage of
any of the belligerents? Are VIC
to stop business at the demand of
these warning countries?"
The Prescott Chamber of Com
merce received requests to join in
the protest and will doubtless do
so at its next meeting.

ore from a new location situated
to the southeast of Placeritas, the
discovery OF which had been going
on for many months.
Hatton stated he picked up the
float in a ravine nearly one year
ago, and winter coming on he re-
turned to the desert near Vicks-
burg, where he has placer interests.
Returning to the old camp last Sep
TENDER he again renewed efforts to
locate the ledge, from which it was

float.
Last Saturday he Clipped off a
piece OF cropping from a ledge that
was OF iron oxide, and was astonish-

that would indicate at least $500 to
the ton. The pay streak he says,
is only three inches wide and with
depth OF four feet the ore chang.
