RUSSELL E OUT OF RACE FOR
 PROSECUTOR
WILL DEVOTE TIME TO
 PLAN TO CONSTRUCT
 SHELTER IN PRESCOTT; EXPECTS ACTION SOON.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Attorney J. E. Russell announced yesterday that he had withdrawn from the race for the nomination of county attorney on the Democratic ticket at the primary election. Russell reached this decision within a few minutes after receiving a telegram from Geo. c. Lemons, representing the English capitalists who propose building a big smelter in Prescott. The tele gram contained but nine words, ad vising Russell to draw up the lease for the smoltcr site on the city farm at once and forward the document as quickly as possible to London.
 Although the message contained TO reference to the time when the Anglo-Saxon Smelling Company in tends to start actual construction " ork on its plant" said Russel last right, "I can read between the lines and see that ' will have plenty to do looking after the company's interests in Prescott and would have little time to devote to official business should l stay in the race and be elected.
 T believe that the cagerness of the smclter promoters to secure the lease on the site is a good sign that all in tercstcd in the project have met in London, examined the mining data which Mir. Lemons took back with Linn and are well pleased with the prospects, My only reason for with drawing from the race is that I am confident the smeltcr project will be wonderful thing for Prescott and will require most of my time. 1 have TO doubt but what all of the com- rany's plans will be carried out as quickly as possible"

BETTER ROADS
 TO MINES URGED
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, August 12- Travellers into Jerome by auto from other camps are boosting an improvement of Ari- zona roads in general. Though many roads arc for long stretches in excel lent shape, they are of the opinion that repair and building of few con- meeting links which would not entail a great deal of expense wouli facili- tate travel by auto between the min ing and other towns of the State to a great degree. Auto travel is an in oreasingly favoritc mode Of travel, and the mining men here who have interests elsewhere as well are no- ticcably partial to this way Of arriv- ing when they come in to look after their interests.
 One party which covered almost the entire central and southern DOT ton of the State this week, expressed a desire to see better road between Jerome and the natural bridge, one of the natural wonders of the State located l2 miles this side of Tayson, three miles off the main road Ac- cording to this traveller, the bridge is a pleasant stopping place in the long stretch of mileage either side across the desert, and good accommodations are to be found there. From the bridge to Globe, road of l0S miles, is in excellent shape, and with parts ol the road this side put in better shape and a continuous road built up along this route the entire route between here and Globe and on to Tucson, would connect almost every mining camp in the State. This would make Statewide travel by auto prac- tical. Such a course would be instru- mental in developing all sections oi Arizona, and with the interest already being awakened in the matter, and improvements already under serious discussion. such desirable state of affairs seems almost assured.

 SPEAKS ON JEROME
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, August l2. - John r. Sweeney, Of Goldhcld, New, leaves to- cay after a couple of days trip to the Jerome field Mir. Sweeney IS an early day operator of Goldticld, the first lcascr of the Goldhcld Florence mine, the second largest in the district, and his old lease Is the main company now operating the property. He was the original organizer of the Round Mountain Mining Co.,, located 1OO miles north of Goldfcld. His interest was aroused in the Jerome district to the point of bringing him here to look the place over in person.
 Sweeney stated before leaving that he was much impressed with the cyi- dent seriousness of the men carrying on development work in the Jerome district, and this, with the knowledge of what has already been done here, leads him to the belief that the future of the district is secure. In company with Superintendent Finlayson, of the Green Monster, whom he knew q number of years ago in Manhattan New, he visited the Copper Chief and Green Monster properties.
 This is the first visit Of the Gold field operator in the State, and he cx- pressed himself as well pleased with what he has learned of the biggest copper producing State through his short visit to this small corner of it.. He stated it was his intention to re- turn as soon as development work now being carried on reaches more mature stage in several quarters of mining activity.

MEN PLEASED WITH
 DISTRICT
VISITORS LOOK OVER PROPERTIES IN YAVAPAI MINING CAMP; TELL OF ROAD CONDITIONS.
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, August ,2-T. A. Rior- Gan, prominent lumberman of Coco nino county, and D. Babbitt, one of the largest merchants and cattlemcn of the State, will leave Jerome today after visit of a few days looking over the mining field and ranch inter- csts of the section. Riordan has made several trips to Jerome during the past eight months or so, but Rabbit lad never seen the mining town be- fore, and expressed some surprise al its remarkable prosperity.
 Riordan, during former visits here has become interested in the Green Monster, and IS watching develop ments there with some interest. He thinks they have particularly fine showing and also expressed the opin- ion that operations arc being carried on with business-likc management, to a marked degree. No excitement over the splendid showings is apparent, but steadfast purpose to uncover the mine which is believed to lie under ground, he thinks is one of the most attractive features of the property at the present time.
 The Flagstaff men were closely questioned as to the condition of the roads. They arrived by way of Se- donia, but plan to return by the more practical, though longer route through Camp Verde. Speaking of the road, Rordan said they made the entire trip between and / o'clock Wednesday morning, and that fully 90 per cent of the road is in excellent shape. He drove over the Camp Verde route in May and the most trouble encountered he said, was two or three miles either side of the di- viding line between the two counties, and a short stretch half way between the line and Flagstaff. There has been some repair on the road near the line, and he expects on his return trip to find an Improvement.
 Riordan and Rabbit spent ycstcr- day morning looking over the Little Daisy, and expressed the proper amount of wonder at the young little producer. They consider this mine responsible for the increased interest in the field, which is exceeding any ever displayed before by the public al large, and in their opinion this iS only beginning in making what they consider wonderful little camp a still larger one.

The grounds will be in the form oi an elliptic so that all of the people present may sec all of the events without difficulty. Until re gently, the location of the grounds rad not been decided upon, and it' seemed that the event would have to be held at either the old race track, or across the river each of Camp Verde, either of which place is about two miles out of town. But, through the generosity of James D. Sellers, the management is now assured of an ideal location within half a mile of town.

IS INDEPENDENT;
 IT BELONGS TO NO PARTY
(From Sundays Daily0


 Arizona is not Democratic, neither is it Republicans: It is in dependent.
 There is no reason for Repub- licans to lay down because they don't believe that a Republican governor can be elected in a State which is so overwhelmingly Democratic
 Aside from the bitter factional fight on the governorship which is going to split the heterogene- ous clements of the Democratic party wide open in September, consider these figures:
 Two per cent of the vote changed in 1911 would have elect ed one Republican U. s. senator.
 Three and two-thirds per cent would have elected two U. $. senators.
 Two hundred and one votes would have made the First State senate Republican instead of overwhelmingly Democratic.
 One hundred and ffty-ninc votes changed in 1912 would have given Wilson, who was a minority winner, less than the Republican and Progressive vote.
 Two and onc-half per cent, or l,2U0 votes, changed in 1914 would have given Hunt, who was also a minority winner, less votes than Young and Cameron received, and Hunt had the backing of B. zoo Democratic Federal, State, county and precinct officers who were fighting for his reelection, and also ten times the campaign fund of the Republican State com mittcc.
 During this election three coun- ties were without any Republican ticket and four others had either independent or fusion tickets or not over three county candidates.
 Over twenty thousand electors did not vote, and Governor Hunt received only about onc-third of the registered vote.
 The Republican party has been split since 1908 in Arizona.
 The Republican party can win by maintaining good men for State, county and precinct officers and vigorously notifying inde- pendent voters of the fact.
 They are already for Hughes for president and also for Camp bell for governor. Let us elect the rest of the ticket and thus notify the world that Arizona is where she belongs in business and political circles, so our possibili- ties will attract outside people.
 What has Democracy done in the South to appeal to a growing State? The Republican party se- cured Statehood, now its work is to SnNc the State.

COME IN FIRST IN ALL PRINCIPAL EVENTS AND CAPTURE S700 OF THE S1,000 PURSES.
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)

lfrOm IueSQdC Odlly.J
 Yavapai cowboys made a big clean up last week at the Elks' Follics in Winslow, returning home on Sunday with $00 out of the purses of S1,OO, in many range events that were hotly contested.
 All of the first monies in horse races, relay races, roping and riding were awarded to Yavapai, while the broncho busting was split between Doc" C. w. Pardcc, of Prescott, and Jack Garrett, of Winslow. This de- Cision brought a warm protest from Ben Maxwell, one of the three judges of this event, who informed Prcsidcn; E. B. Hcbcrt, of the tournament, that Garrett did not qualify in riding, while on the other hand it was openly ad- mittcd by spectators that Pardcc was far more skillful, performed his feat with a clean conception of the rules, and in any line of busting was far superior to Garrett. Mir. Hcbert also was of the same opinion, although he lad no jurisdiction to judge any event. Many of the boys who have returned, stated yesterday the spirit of sports manship was decidedly lacking in the true conception of the whole field program as carried out, and they arc very much appreciativc of the scnti- ment expressed by many who freely stated their belief in several instances in favor of the visitors. Pardec re- turned, however, with S5l0 as his share of the cleanup. Some of the more interesting events were the fol- lowing.
 Relay race - Walter Cline won a S100 purse i'll this event, riding Baby Mack, Rags and George. His grace and agility attracted much admira- ton, and he whipped under the wire first in easy fashion.
 Burro roping-Len Taylor, of Flag staff, finished in this event for Jack Martin, of Winslow, and won first money. But for the best single time made, 24I5 seconds, Walter Cline pulled off first money, with Buster Gardner also of Yavapai, second.
 Goat roping-Bustcr Gardner cap tured first money in this lively con test, and also clipped of a single throw in the remarkable time of Y seconds.
 Pony racc-"Doc" Pardec came un- der the wire in the lead three times, and once was third in four races. He is better off by S60.
 Walter Cline started his Baby Mack in three races, and in each event was in the running, winning a total of over $50.
 The Yavapai contingent is now con cluding arrangements to leave next week for the Roundup, at Kansas City, which begins on September l and ends four days later. Some ol the most expert of range artists arc going. The purses aggregate over 5000.

SINKING WINE IN HARD ORE
 FORMATION
SLOW TO DETERMINE LITTLE DAISY'S BODY DOUGLAS VISITS JER- ONE; OTHER NOTES.
Special Correspondence.

SDGCldl DOlluIllNN.
 JEROME, August l2.-Little Daisy held a big share of attention locally this week, from the fact that another soaring feat was accomplished by this active stock. The price reached S55 this week, and one sale was reported from New Yorw at S33$. The inside buying which caused the sudden rise is credited to development in the mine, but General Manager James $. Douglas, as usual, made no revela- tions while here yesterday.
 Reports that the new winzc has reached the 1000 cannot be credited, as the sinking there is only a little over 40 feet below the ,400, and sup poscdly still in the ore body of that level. Progress here is very slow, as they are sinking in the solid glance of ore. The formation IS hard to cut through. It is reasonable to conJec- ture that the payment of the first quarterly dividend stimulated buying by shareholders, and this coupled with continued favorable conditions below ground is reason enough for stock of the Little Daisy to advance.
 The sinking of the new shaft, which IS to be located close to the Edith, will improve air conditions, which arc said at times to be troublesome. The drifting toward the Jcromc-Verde crossed the line several days ago, and according to statements made some time ago by the management, this drifting will continue north, parallel with the line for some distance.
 Buying in Pittsburg-J Jerome has bcen lively all week, the bulk of the purchasing being in Pittsburg, where the largest stockholders are located. A decline the past day or two is re- actionary as a result of the rapid rise to price approaching the s mark, and the taking of profits by numerous holders of the stock acquired at a very low figure months ago can easily account for this feature.
 
 Jerome-Verdc has reached water and the shaft is down 425 feet. The pump on the 400 is taking care of the situation nicely, and sinking will be carried on steadily. The shaft is 700 feet deep, and retimbcring and en- larging makes the operation gradual one.
