LIVELY ELECTION
 SCENES IN CAMP
CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.)

ALEnuA OdAAAAdAA soeINAoh teAAg AAAGEsl
 The primary election contest in Oat- man was a lively and brisk affair, typifying not only conditions of a presidential year and those where the offices sought in county government inject zest into the situation, but the life of a mining camp like Oatman, the newest in the west.
 The greatest outward signs of ac- tivity were over the office of sheriff. All through the day reports were heard that Jack Lane was running be- hind, also that he was running ahead, but when it came to the point of how the informant knew, he either express ed words indicating the wish to be the father of the thought or said some person had told him so. With the se- cret ballot in primaries as well as elections there was no chance for any body to know.
 More autos were seen plying back and fourth in the various directions with Lane banners and pennants on them, than perhaps all others and they brought men and women to the polls. How the passengers voted on arrival only themselves can tell. Joe Prisk has hosts of old and new friends here, but he did not carry on that sort of campaign and if there was an auto here yesterday displaying his name it was not noticeable. But the big bulk of the voters walked to the polls, so the result until all the votes are count ed is a guess.
 Nor is it any mans fight between Stewart, Bollinger and Cassidy, for county attorney. Stewart had about the only autos at work, but for talk in their favor at this writing it cannot be but another and even nor more difficult guess.
 The cotest of next importance was that for state senator, between Dan Angius and William P. Mahoney, both Oatman residents. Street talk in the afternoon seemed to favor the latter on the count.
 L. H. Foster is believed here to be winner for supervisor, both in the primary and election. There is strong desire in Oatman and neighboring towns, taking the form of determi- nation to elect an Oatman man to membership on the county board. All the local candidates are well liked and competent, but Fosters name is heard the most often.
 Zadok Sheffield, for justice of the peace, seems in line for the office to be thrust upon him. But he has not stood still and waited for it. He has made just as lively a campaign for it as if he had had opposition.

FINDS IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
 HAVEN FOR PROGRESSIVES

antitrust law; social and industrial justice succeeded.
 Should not the Progressives sus- tain the power that this performs ?" he asked.
 "Can they perform that first task of statesmanship by voting back into power the same old guard that estab- lished on it's throne the invisible gov ernment and formed the unholy al- liance between corrupt business and corrupt politics? Is not that invisible government supporting the Republican candidate It is. Are not the same old elements in complete control ? They are. Will Progressives place them back in power? They will not.
 The contract of the Democratic party with the American people, he asserted, has been fulfilled by the present administration more fully than any party ever carried out it's prom ises.
 In conclusion:
 "A former president, now support ing that candidate, states that his man would write but one note on any sub feet. He seems to speak advisedly and with authority, as his statement is not denied. The president has written more notes than one on such compli- cated subjects as the submarine ques- tion. Many claim he was too firm and severe; some say that he was too len tent. However that may be, he has kept us out of war with honor to the nation, just as the Progressive plat form so wisely demanded.
 Should Progressives now forget the demands of their platform? Should they now refuse credit where credit is due? Should they ignore the blessing of peace preserved to their country They will not show such ingratitude. On the contrary, they will sustain the president. They will uphold his hands. They will rebuke the scheming dema- gogues and incorporate jingoes.
 "They will repudiate the bargain of the bosses, selling their birthright without their consent. This is evi- denced by the action of Progressives in many states. They will not be de- livered as planned at the billion-dol- lar dinner. They will justly approve those acts which have crystallized into laws che fundamental principles of the party's contract with the people "

NORTH STAR RESUMES
 WITH FULL FORGE IF
 MEN AFTER SHUTDOWN
CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.l

CFrom Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 The Oatman-North Star has re- sumed, with a full force of miners, it being another to give physical denial to the reports that all the mines of Oatman were to shut down not to be heard of again. The Star has been closed for five weeks, for financial reasons, but yesterday morn ing Manager R. R. Moore returned from the coast with his financial ar arrangements complete and the first shift started work last evening.
 The work will be carried on in the most vigorous fashion, in keeping with the faith that the owners of the stock in this enterprising company have in the worth of Oatman's mines.
 Development has been done in a manner, which happens to coincide with the views of practical mine de- velopers and with whom this news paper has always agreed. It is the idea of staying as close as possible to your ore. The North Star sank an incline shaft. It did not sink directly on the ore shoot, as it might have done, but chose a fault plane between the apexes of two shoots, sinking on the ledge for 400 feet and is now drifting on it for the two shoots in the same number of directions. There might not be a mine in a mile of there and there might be a dozen, but by following this policy if there is a mine within the area of it's hold ings the North Star management will find it.
 It is located in a fine country, not far from the Pasadena Boy, close to the best showings on the Gold Reed and has showings of it's own that are coveted by many property owner in camp.
 The developments hereafter will be watched with the keenest interest and the Daily Miner will endeavor to keep it's readers informed as progress of drifting in the North Stars two faces brings to light the truth of what may lie in the form of hidden treasures under ground.

SELIGMAN PLAYERS
 LOSE ID KINGMAN
IFr.n Tus.day,. Daily MinerI

AANae-J D@A-
 Champions of northern Arizona That's the name the Kingman baseball club acquired last Sunday by wallop- ing the Seligman team, 13 to g. The game was marked by hard hitting and fast fielding, although there was some ragged work in the latter de partment of the game. Tom Bale was particularly guilty. With two down in the first inning he let an easy roller go through his legs, the rankest error he has made this season.
 The local boys played fine uphill battle and deserved to win. In the first inning the visitors made three runs and maintained their lead until the eighth inning, adding a few runs to their lead now and then. In the sixth inning Hesser, catcher of the visitors and one of the hardest hitters seen on the local diamond, leaned against one of Tommy Clark's fast balls, driving it far out over the left fielders' head, but owing to his slow ness of foot he was thrown out at the plate while trying to reach home.
 In the seventh the Seligmans man. ager switched pitchers with two on base. This proved their undoing. Archibald was the first and last man the new box man faced. After hay ing two balls thrown to him Archibald cracked one over the right fielders head for a double, scoring both runs. The pitcher then discovered there was something the matter with his arm and retired in favor of the third base man, a young son of old Mexico. The boy marched to the pitchers box with an expression on his face that read "Down with the gringos", but he was soon shaken out of his dreams for brace of singles, miexd with some bad playing, put the locals within one run of tieing them. In the visitors half of the eighth they were unable to do anything with the delivery of Tommy Clark, he striking out their best batters.
 Then real fireworks began. Singles and errors flew around so thick that no one could not distinguish them, and brace of singles, mixed with some bad cleared away it was found that the locals were four runs to the good, lead that was impossible for the visitors to overcome.
 Next Sunday the locals will tackle the San Bernardino bunch. This team has been here a dozen times or mora and it has always played good ball.

BOY MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPES DEATH IN
 FALL FROM CLIFF
From Tuesdays Daily Minerl


 A night ride from Lookout Ranch over roads that have been almost ob- liberated by recent rains was the ex- perience of George W. Miller and Mrs. Tony Walter, who arrived in King man Monday morning with Johnny Hunt, who was terribly injured by a fall from a cliff near the ranch Sun day afternoon. The boy had been playing on the cliff. He apparently lost his balance and fell Is or 20 feet onto jagged rocks below. His scalp was almost torn from his head, deep cuts were made in the back of the head and his body badly bruised. His escape from death was miraculous.
 The boy was apparently rendered unconscious by the fall, but his small companion, a son of George W. Miller, remained by him and helped him to his home. He was given first aid and then the wild ride to Kingman was undertaken, the party reaching town about 2 o'clock in the morning. Drs. Hilton and White worked several hours over the boy and found that there were no broken bones nor a fracture of the skull. His scalp, how ever, was split open from the middle of the forehead to the base of the skull. The little fellow will recover, but will carry the scars all his life.

MADE
 IN WINzE IN
 THE GOLD DUST

Simultaneously with the installation of a centrifugal gold separator, and the starting up Monday of its mill, comes the information that the Gold Dust mine has made big strike. The present mill run will be for at least ten days and will be for experimental purposes solely, to demonstrate the new process. The importance is in- dicated by the fact that an average of s33 was obtained across a 14 foot ledge.
 The Gold Dust has or late been in- creasing its activities as much as pos sible. It has carried it's west drift 750 feet from the shaft crosscut and at that point started a winze on a body of very good ore. The winze has reached a depth of more than 70 feet.
 The strike has developed into the most important find made in the dis trict for months. Its volume is greater than any other recent strike and the average richness is greater. Its particular importance lies in the fact that it is off and away from the main ledge of the United Eastern and Tom Reed and in the same zone and on the same ledge as the Lexington, which also has a big strike to its credit.

Wilson's Achievements

/ MT. Mays then took up the Progress sive platform of 1912, and reading it's various blanks showed that in every instance President Wilson and the Democratic congress had rallied to Progressive principles and enacted into laws Progressive policies.
 The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill had been radically revised downward; the pay envelopes of labor had been in creased; a tariff commission had been established; the trusts had been curbed; conservation both of human and natural resources had been ac- complished; rural credits, good roads, better business methods; the estab- lishment of an office of markets, all had been achieved.

 George F. Moser, superintendent of the Arizona-Tom Reed Mining com pany, who recently returned from Milwaukee and Dallas, Texas, reports that at Chicago particularly he was asked many questions about Oatman- He happened to be there at the time when the market for Oatman shares was at it's worst. Inquirers did not seem to worry, but wanted infoma- tion. Now that the market is boom ing, he says, there is a certainty of the feeling in the east being full measure of enthusiasm.

GOLDROAD BONANZA
 CLOSE ID RICH ORE

A rich strike seems probable at the Goldroad Bonanza. At first there were a few stringers in the crosscut, but now the andesite pans so many colors as to classify it almost as ore. F. T. Torpey is having some assays on the material run and expects to have some important news to an nounce soon. Being a parallel ledge of the famous Goldroad, and being only 15O feet apart, the greatest inn portance is attached to all develop ments in the Bonanza.

Congressman Mays IS from Utah, one of the two states which in 1912 gave it's electoral vote to President Taft.
 He was originally Republican. He became a Progressive and assisted in the organization of that party, being sent from Utah as a delegate to the first national convention, held in Chi cago in 1912, by which a platform en- titled "A Contract with the People" was adopted.
 In a speech delivered in congress August 25, 1916, he gave at some length his reasons for supporting President Wilson in this campaign.
 His change from a Republican to a Progressive was due, he stated, to "a long process of education" from which came the ''unwelcome conviction" that that party was controlled by interests who paid for, demanded, and received an undue share of the country's wealth and prosperity" As asserted by men high in the party counsels, it had be- come the agency through which the in te-ests, grown by special privilege, operated to further exploit the peo- pie"
 Speaking of the attitude of Progress sives in this campaign, he said:
 ''They will represent a larger body of independent voters than ever before exercised the franchise in any cam paign. They are not to be controlled by the old-time prejudice or traded to any party at the dictation of any self appointed boss. These people were sincere and of high average intelli- gence. They were intensely patriotic and deeply interested in the welfare of the humble people of moderate means and those unfortunate people without any means. They were stu dents of economic conditions. They adopted a platform which for clear ness of expression of humanity's needs has rarely been equaled.

Distrust the Bosses

'The rank and file of that party firmly believed in the necessity of the enactment of those principles and promises into legislation. They still believe so. They still distrust the bosses and representatives of the in terests who ruled the Republican party in 1910 and 1912, and rule it now with even more arrogance and self-assur- ance. What will the Progressives do? An answer to that question decides the election.
 Early in this session of congress, having occasion to visit New York, l was invited to call upon the financial head of the Progressive party. The conference disclosed to me that this gentleman was so much interested in such corporations as the United States Steel, the Bethlehem Steel, the liar vester Trust, and was so desirous of large preparedness program, and in cidentally was so tired of financing, the Progressive party that he was ready to accept practically any candidate the Republicans would nominate and en- ter into an agreement to sell and de- liver the Progressive party to the Re- publicans like so many sheep and cattle.
 His sole objection offered to the administration was it's tendency to place some limit upon expenses for the naval and military establishments and for failure to go into war with Mexico. This war has made many millions for himself and associates, and he was willing to realize many millions more. He believed the Re publicans to be better friends-more subservient friends-to the vast enter prises in which he was so deeply in terested.
 q then let it be known that l had joined the Democratic party because the obituary of the Progressive party seemed only postponed for trading pur- poses and because not a solitary ray of hope appeared of remedial legisla- tion from the Republican party in the interests of the people, and because the Democratic party, under it's leader, the president, had been offering con vincing proof of it's sincere interest in the general good by putting on the statute books a program of wise and wholesome legislation"

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 The Kingman-Oatman road on the east side of the Goldroad hill is finished and has been in use by autos for the past two days. There is still considerable work to be done on the west side, consisting chiefly of the cut at the summit, which has proven a longer task than was though when started.
 The mail stage Friday from King man did not reach oatman until night, due to being struck in the mud on the road east of the Goldroad hill.
