SIR HOSES MoNrEFIoRE

Through the kindness of a gentle man we have been furnished a fine and exhaustive article on Sir Moses Monte fore, the distinguished Eng fish philanthropist, whose tooth birthday was appropriately celebrat- ed the 24th of last month. We are pleased to make the following ex> cerpt:
 Probably no person living has labored more earnestly and success fully to relieve the Eufferings of race than Sir Moses Montefiore, who was born October 24, 17S3, and whose hundredth birthday has been appropriately celebrated Tn this country as well as abroad.
 His father was an English mer> chaI t, and traced hls ancestry back to Spain, from the time when his forefathers were briven, by persecu> tion, to flee into Italy, where the earlier Montefiores amassed great wealth. Tie baronet's earlier years were passed in Italy, in the pursuit of education, and engrosssd with the cares of business life.
 In 1912 he married sister in-law of Nathan Meyer Rothschild, the founder of the London branch of the great banking establishment.
 In 1927 he made his first trip to Palestine, 10 make a personal inves> tigation of the causes of the ahject state of his brethren in that land. The Palestine fund was establish . ed for their relief, of which he has ever since bee n the administrator.
 He was appointed sheriff of Lon don and Middlesex, in 2S3S, and dur l ing the same year was knighted by the Queen at Gui;dhall, on the occa- sion of her first official visit 10 :hat city after her accession to the throne and m 1846, as recognition of his services, in behalf of his race, both at home and abroad, he was created a boronet.
 His influence with the Pacha of Egypt and tAe Sultan of Tnrkey in 1S40, after the massacre at Damas GUS; his untlring efforts with the Czar Nicholas in behalf of the Rus sian Jews In 1846, his able and sue cessful labors with Lotus Phillipe, king of France, in reference tc the l prosecution If l847. and his plead 1 ings with the Spanish authorities in 1863, are all remembered with grati- tude and thanksgiving by the down 1 trodden of his race. who have beer benefi,ten by his exertions. The fond ambition of this nob'e and venerable philsnthropIst has been to see Palestine the seat of g Jewish Empire and Jerusalem its capital.

THE OLD SAW, Birds of q feather flock together has received a fresh Illustration. The Tucson Star flies to the defense of the Gdzette in the land grabbing business. Any one who knows the his cry of the Sur expected just such a move. The Tucson cotemporary was never known to break it's record when the question was principle or coin {; whichs"
 The cotemporary takes up 8 COS lumn to show in substance that the publisher of the Gazette had 8 right to do what he pleased with his owp property.
 A man has such a right inst so long as he does not use his property to the injury of his neighbors' business or property, but just at that point the right to to as he pleases ceases and community of i interest steps ia. Suppose one man is attempting to take MT, Star s horse and another man steps up to him and says: "Here, if }ou let me ride with you I'll furnish sixty dol lars of salt to help catch the ani- nal" but at the same time this sec- oHd man consoles MT. Star by say~ ing tits all just 10 get ahead of the chap and keep him from taking my horse" Of course. according te the Stars argument. Self preservation l is the first law of nature'' and this man has a perfect right to do as he pleases with his money-he can buy salt with it if he wants to, and he can have the pleasure of seeing MT. Ssar's horse bridled through its means rather that his own horse even have the pleasure of riding MT St0r's horse of and driving before i time all the other horses in the country. eSelf preservation is the first law of nature"

The capabi> lines Of the Territory in both these matters are but little understooi out side our borders Indeed, strangers ask with surprise fer our agriculiu- rsl prospects when the matter is mentioned for hitherto we have not been Known as agricultural in any sense and yet within the next ten years we dare say this Territory will be supplying her own population with everything that agriculture will rRoduce and have q surplus to

A large portion Of our mesAs and val leys now lylng apparently a barren waste will prove elegant farming lands when water is once turn.d upon them and this is but matter of few years.

The Chicago Mining Revie,c mem tioning the Arizona exhibit of sores now in tbat city speaks as follows of the United Verde property, YavaPai county:
 One of the important features of this exhibit which immediately at> tracted atte' tion, even from Michi gan mining men, was the unusual exhibit of fine copper ores, which show a feature of Arizona which has been largely overlooked in cOm- putting It's future worth and import> ance.
 Among the most important of the properties represented are the United Verde Copper CompaDy's mines, owned by Governor F. A. Tritle and others. It is situated about twenty five miles from Prescott. The ore shown from this mine represents the Eureka, Wade Hampton, Hermit, Venture and Chrome. The develop ment on the Eureka shows ore bodies composed of green carbonate, malachite and black oxides from Is to no feet In width. The ores will average. as been proven by mill rua, from 20 to 40 per cent of copper, and are self>flnxing. The 30-ton smelt- CT, in consfan operation. is yieldi1 2 eight tons of bullion per day. which gives an average in silver from 400 to 800 ounces per ton.
 The Wade Hampton, al 135 feet, has 55 feet of solid ore, which IT. xies from g 10 30 per cent copper The remaining properties of this company, for the amount develop ment. show equally promising re- salts.

Sufficient time was given the merchants to consider the matter but when pressed for their sIgnat- nres the contracts were not signed, though in verbal pledges they were all profuse; such being the case the Northern Paci ic officials concluded it was to their advantage in every way to withdraw altogether from San Francisco in so far as continu- ing that place as competitive point was concerned.

l
 portion Of the valley, Homer may
 get bonanza ont of him-Journal | A fsw days ago a deed was placed
 on record in MarIcopa county from J. Addison Reavis to Homer H. Mc~
 Neil, proprietor of the Gdzetts, to
 certain real estate in Phoenix, which
 seems to have excited the ire of the
 citizens of Maricopa county, who have declared war on the Gazette for it's action in recognizing the Re4vis fraud, 10 which that journal makes
 the following explation: "rhe deed
 of Homer II. McNeil from J. 4.
 ReaVis, to certain real estate prop erty in this city has created 8 gene ral impression among the people that the purpose was from good. In other words, that the Gazette was to prostituted to the furtherance of the scheme set on foot by Reavis, to cast a cloud upon the titles of the prop erty holders of the valley, and to levy title upon the same. Every body is apt, in some period of life, to commit an error, and in this in stance, we will not deny that such has been our fate. The object of the proprietor Of this paper in securing from Reavis title for the property in q Iestion, was to place him self, where, should ihe latter be success full in th Confirmation of his grant, howeve vaguely removed the possi- biIity may be. the aud our property would 6e entirely removed beyond the reach of b!s wrath, and being placed in such position of inde- pendence, we could fearlessly the cause of the peo,'le and oppose the purposes Of the land grabbers."
 While the Citizen will not question the honesty of the statement made by the Gazette. it cannot hclD but con- demn the act. A journal that exists upon the support and patronage of should Tt least be will ing to take its chances with that community and survive or fall with it. The Gazette was already in a position of ''independence'' and 1 "could fearlessly espouse the cause of ae people and oppose the pur-
 Hof the land grabber" without first climbing to a safe perch. and | then hallooing down to the people to l pound the interloper, thrash him. give him no mercy" Such a course and such argument is selfish in the extreme, and if the Gazette has lost .he confidence of the people, it came; complain.-C Cltizea.
