TIE demand for good stock ranges in Southern Arizona has been very great during the past month. The dry sum- mer has shown many sources of water supply to be unreliable, and living streams are sought after. We venture the remark that by digging wells and putting in steam pumps good cattle ranches may be made at almost any point in the southern country.

Mexican Veterans.

Captain Miller, a veteran of the Mexi can war. suggests that the veterans of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona or ganize a branch of the National Asso- ciatiop of Veterans of the Mexican War. He thinks there are to be found within the limits of the territory named a sufficient number of these pioneer American soldiers to form an organiza- tiop of very respectable membership. The Captain proposes to have some cor respendence with the National Assocla- tion on the subject. Rocky Mountains newspapers will please make note ot this and request all Mexican veterans to send in their names to Captain Miller, Santa Fe.

NEW YORK, Sept. ,.
COPPER.

COPPER.
 Negotiations between the manufac- turers' pool and the lake companies were brought to Q happy conclusion night before last, the result being that the latter sold the former 20,000,OO0 pounds of copper at price supposed to be l3 cents. We say "happy," because, If this Is the price, both parties to the bargain have done well-the producers, ID view of the enormous production go- ing on in this country. to be much larger next year; and the buyers, because they wanted lake copper, and have got 1t at a figure that may be considered fair under the circumstances. Delivery of the above lot will be spread conveniently over the coming months. In making the sale at the ngure named, he com panies probably also took into con- sideration that the brass trade is excessively dull, and that manu- facturers assume no small risk in fixing prices for many months to come at time when the future of this metal IS any thing but reassuring, even admitting that consumption out side or the brass llne, and especially for electrical purposes, IS very large. Since this sale became known, there is, of course, no market for the moment manufacturers being provided, and the price of lake copper IS nominal, while Baltimore would not unlikely be ob- tainable at l2 sc, the last sale of 25,000 pounds, from second hands. having been made at l2Sic Chili Bars are this morning cabled at G53 17s.

 Almost no sales have been effected during the week, and the market is practically stagnant. Small lots have moved off at 3.55c.; at the close, in sympathy with dull western markets, the asking price is 3.55c., but not more than 35Oc. is offered for Common Dom estic.

Tho Extra Session.

The solid South will cast 158 electoral
votes next November II the General As
sembly OF Virginia shall previously meet
and provide by law for tho election OF
twelve electors in this State. New York,
New Jersey, and Nevada, together will
csst - electoral votes-exactly enough,
added TO the votes OF the southern States,

plain, therefore. that IL Virginia shall cast
but eleven electoral votes, the same States
would not be abe TO elect the Democratic
candidate.
Is such result improbable? II TnDBN
he the nominee, then such q result would,
We concede, be improbable; because he
would carry the solid South, and not only
New York, New Jersey, and Nevada, but
California, Oregon. Connecticut, Indiana,
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Illinois. and perhaps
several other States.
IiCLgvKLAND be the nominee, he might
be elected by large majority. On the
other hand, 1t 10 possible that even CLEyE-
LAND might get the votes OF no northern
States except New York, New jersey, and
Nevada. Against such contingency 1t Is
the duty Of the Legislature OF Virginia to
provide. Therefore, 1t is the duty OF
Governor CAsEION to convene the General
Assembly in extra session..
II IL true that In the event supposed the
House OF Representatives would elect
President OF the United States, and
that the Democratic nominee would
almost certainly be chosen by that
body. But 1t Is not right TO compel
an election Of President Of the United
States by the House OF Represents
tlves. In that body each State casts but
one vote. Consequently the mode OF cleo
ton does not seem to consist with repre-
sentative Government.
Let the Legislature Of Virginia do its
duty in the matter. and leave the conse-
quences TO the future. 1t can never be
wrong for such body TO do its duty.
