THE Prescott Courier has selected the only Democrat elected to the Assembly from Pima county as its candidate for the Speakership. It says: "Moye Wicks, brilliant lawyer, of Tucson, is likely to be next Speaker of the House. If the Assembly proves Democratic g better selection could not be made. If, however, it is found to be Republican, 1t Is probable that some one of that po- litical faith will be chosen. In the event of its being Democratic, we should ad- wise Republican members to support Mr. Wicks, for his partisanship will never lead him into anything unfair or dishonorable.

J. G. BLAINE.

He DiscIaims All Presidential Aspirations.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The Daily News Washington special says The emphatic amour cement by James G. Blame that he Is not a Presidential candidate, and could not be induced to become one, IS the subject of considerable talk just now. The Name mans disclaimer Is varlously interpreted. Persons sufii- ciently cynical doubt its sincerity. They do not accept his decl ratiOns for what they appear to be worth The general Dehef ls that Blaine realizes that he can not get the Republican nomination, but means to arrange SO as to hold similar relations to the successful candidate that he dId to Garfield. The other Is that ue Is now convinced the temper of the people IS agalnstthe euominatlOn of stand iu., candidates that Presidential light nIng IS more likely to strike one wh, keeps himself lu the rear. It IS thought that Blaine has not vet despairei of regaInlng the power he lost by Gar fields death and Is hoping that favor able turn of f. Tt me will result from the fractional trouble in the party. lis belief is that the Halfbreeds will be able to control the next National Con yention, If they determine to do so. But 1t is extremely doubtful whether there are as many Blaine men now as in 1880. It IS noticed that Blaine has dis carded the convenient plea of pressing business. His manifold enterprises are all ID an exceedingly prosperous coudi- ton, and, useless a great many are deceived, be will spend most of his time Tn Washington. The magnificent new mansion at the corner of Mas sachusetts avenue and Twentieth street will be hls headquarters and his boom be worked for all its worth. That Blaine would decline the Republican nomination or would not secretly plot 10 secnre it YerY few here credit.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR thinks that John Sherman exhibited "the monumental cheek of the century" when he asked for tLe appointment of Warner Bate. man as [. 5. Judge for the Southern District of Ohio made vacant by tLe death of Judge Swing. Batemsn was the secretary Of the Sherman boom. Besides that be was the man who col lectsd the information and made the legal portion Of Secretary Sherman's report upon which was based the re- mOyal of Arthur from the collectorship of the port of New. York. It is not probably that Batoman will secure the coveted position.

THE PheniI Herald, the home organ of Judge Porter does not concede his defeat. It says:
 There yet seems to be some doubt expressed as to who will be our next Delegate to Congress. The difference m their known vote in favor of Mir Oury may be readily wiped out by the returns of the counties yet unheard from. The majority Tn Apache, according to the in formation which has reached this of- flee has increased to 2J0, while Graham and Mohave, with probable l.70O votes, have as yet given no authentic informa- ton as to their choice. We regard the election of Judge Porter as yet quite possible from the well known political complexion of Mohave and also the chance for good vote for him in Ora ham county.

Concentration of Ores.
LSclentiiic PL..-- Nnr- I--


 The failure on the part of so many in. proved "processes,' based on the use ot chemical reagents, which seemed to pos sess good results ID the working of re- bellious ores, has more or less discour- aged people from investing in mines with that kind of ore. While in many cases these ores are worked at the mine. yet, after years of costly experiment. the balance-sheet of profit and loss in the treatment of low-grade and rebel liouS ores too often shows the balance on the wrong side of the account.
 We have numbers of low-grade mines holding vast treasure, only waiting for the successful process" 10 be devel- oped. The question is continually be- fore us, how can We make these base metal mines protitable2
 The most feasible plan seems to be concentration. Relieve the ore of a large percentage of the gangue, until what is left is rich enough to pay profit on working or transportation. Of course this implies au ability to concentrate cheaply. With the improved machinery now available this can in many places be done with great benefit. We feel cer- tain that many mines now idle would be started up at profit should the owners investigate thoroughly the question of concentration. With reduction works at SO many points now, it would seem as if hundreds of these lov-Crade mines could be worked at profit
