THE WHITE METAL,
A Convention of Silver Miners
 at Fl Paso.
Date Fixed for December 5th-Silver the Only Question to be Con-
 sidered at the Meeting.

To THE PRosPECToRs, MINERS, MINE
 AND CLAIM OWNERS OF NEW MEN
 ICo, ARIZONA AND WESTERN TEXAS:
 The depression that exists through out the Southwest is due to the uIl- natural depreciation of silver and to the evil effects caused by that portion of the alien act that prohibits the irl- vestment of foreign capital in mining property in the Territories. The ob- ject of the Southwest Silver Convention that is to convene on the 10th day of December, 1891, in Fl Paso, Texas, is to discuss aud take steps to remedy those evils. No other subject but the silver question and the modification of the alien act will be entertained by the convention, and all attempts to pre- vent the object of this mass meeting of miners by the introduction of ques- tions foreign to the principles for which it was called will be suppressed The restoration of silver to its normal value or parity with gold, and the oblitera- ton of an unjust discrimination against the miners operating in theTcrritories, will engage the entire energy and time of the assembled miners of the South west. CHAs. LONGUENARE,
 Pres't Executive Committee.
 F. W. EDDLEsTEN,
 Sec'ty Executive Committee.
 The convention will be called to order at a. m. on the 10th of Decern- Der, 1891, at the Opera House in the City of Fl Paso, Texas; temporary organization effected and the usual committees appointed. Afterwlrd a permanent organization will follow:
 The convention of miners in Fl Pasc will be mass convention, each camp sending as many delegates as they wish. All prospectors, miners, mine and claim owners in New Mexico, Arizona and Western Texas, will be qualified for membership in the con, vention. ... .........
 Miners should meet in each camp district, town and city in New MeXicC and Arizona at some suitable date hold a meeting for the purpose of SC curing as full q representation as pos sible to the Southwest Silver Conven ton that will convene in Fl Paso ol the 10th day of December next.

Has Not Resigned.

The following from the Globe-Demo- crat explains why it was that MT Robinson rendered his resignation as general manager of the Aransas Pass railroad few days ago, which caused so much wonder among his friends:
 SAN ANTONIO, TEX, October 22.-It is now stated here that the resignation of Mir. D. B. Robinson as general man ager of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railway after one week of service, has nothing more behind it than the eNpediency of his immediately assun- ing charge. He made trip over the road, inspected it's workings and was thoroughly satisfied with the outlook. When reorganization is effected Mir. Robinson will assume charge as presi- dent and general manager. His re- tirement is, therefore, merely tempo rary. When the road passes from under the receivers, who are working to place it upon sound financial foot ing, Mir. Robinson will take charge.

CHIEF JUSTICE GoODNG has decided in the case of Williams against the county of Maricopa, that district at torney of any county may appoint a deputy, or the court may appoint q deputy district attorney in the assis- tance of the district attorney and the county must pay such deputy for his service. The decision is based upon the statute of the territory authorizing the district attorney to appoint a deputy, and also authorizes him to in eur any necessary expense in the dis charge of the duties of his office, but his honor holds that the necessity for the employment of a deputy must be shown to the satisfaction of the board of supervisors before the services can become county charge.

TIE Tucson Citizen makes the fol- lowing suggestion, which is worthy of consideration at this time: Ithas been suggested that a separate vote be taken at the time the constitution is voted on. The vote on the constitution will be yea nor no--mostly no if we read the signs alright, The other vote will be statehood or no statehood. It will involve but little expense and will show the true feeling of the people on this momentous question. Ballots can be prepared and box placed at a con- venient place, where every voter can express his preferences for or against statehood In the event of the con- stitution being voted down it will show to congress that under favorable con- ditions the people of Arizona look anxiously forward to the day whenthey can see their territory don the purple of state. We think the idea an excel, lent one and it should be adopted

The position of the Florence Enter prise on statehood does not appear satisfactory to some of its Phoenix con temporaries, and is being severely criticised by them for the supposed error of its ways. This is neither fair nor courteous to theprofession. News papers like private individuals, differ on important subjects, and no one pa- per or party of papers, has right to attempt to dictate the policyof another in which they have no financial inter- est. If this were possible all antagon- ism would be crushed and but one side of a subject would be placed before the people. Fortunately it is otherwise. As the constitution, in its adoption or rejection, means much to Arizona, the fullest and freest scope for its discus sion should not only be given but should be encouraged. If it contains subject matter that is not only not acceptable but is injurious to the citi- zens of any one portion of the county, those people through their representa- tive, the press, should be respectfully heard against it. It is but fair that we should be fair all around. Oun neighbors have opinions that should be respected as well as our own, and this fact should not be lost sight of in the statehood controversy that is now be- fore inc public. Citizen.

From the little that is known of the constitution in Tucson we are satisfied that number of our business men not only intend to vote but they intend to work against it, Unfortunately the convention fixed the date of the adop- ton of the constitution at a period that practically precludes full dis cussion of its perfections and defects, and the determination to vote against it is largely based on that ground Tucson Citizen.

stockmen,s Wisdom.

Bunches of Montana native steers are now sling for from eighteen to twenty dollars head This is good buying, for as an investment in two years they will prove better than any other property that is to be found. Within the last two years sheep have become the best paying property that could be handled. Now every man wants to buy sheep when they are high priced, and sell out cattle because cattle are only bringing fair prices. In view of all this, the question may not inaptly be asked, when will stockmen learn wisdom? In the light of past history 1t has ever been this way Has the spirit of patience in well doing fled from the seat or reason? Do the signs of the times, intelligently read, offer no evidence that there is in the near future probabilities and strong possi- bilities of genuine return to prices that point the way to prosperity? Present prices for good beef cattle are by no means to be despised, and war rant breeders and range cattlemen in staying with the business and in pay ing better prices for cattle to increase their beef herds.

OUR GOODS ARE APIREcIATED.

The above sketch was made from photo. graph taken in the stores of Welnstock, Lub Il, & Co, Sacramento, or morning last May. At that time soue r( the other de- parJments were equally crowded, as IS the case on many days m the year.
 Ou. gooqs are bet q predicted Jy hose 'rlo are hcre Co see and yeeL diea, aud Co compare wiM Ac goods cf other houses.
 We simply had low prices, without right qualities and right styles, there wodld be little to gain in dealing here, and we should not be able to hold for day the great trado that does come from Sacramento and through the mails.
 In the very throng shown in the sketch are doubtless several Mail Order Selectors. These people are carefully chosen for their intelligence and taste, and go about the store making purchases for those who send in their orders by post. They are held responsible for the satisfactory filling of every order, and dare not risk sending any thing but the very best the house affords Before the goods on any order are packed for shipment, they are carefully gone over by staG of very competent people, called '.Examiners." Thus two sets of people view critically every item, and as nearly as possible from the stand.ponto of the customer, whom they represent. Serious complaints are rarely received, although hundreds of orders arc dispatched daily.
 In many respects, mail-order shopping is moro satisfactory than buying in person. | The fine illustrations in the catalogue Ia copy is sent free to any addressl, and the clear and impartial descriptions, enable one ! to sit at home and decide at their leisure ! just what goods will best suit their purpose. 1 In an hour spent in looking over the cata- i logue, they can really see a larger variety of goods and get more useful information than they can in day spent in shopping through | . crowded store.
 It is .o the interest of the house to fill every order so well that other orders will be sure to follow. Small orders are often sent Tn as the forerunners of large ones. They I are in.ended IS "tests." This ont fact, if nothing elr1, prompts us to fill every order, no matter how small, to the very best of our ability.
 Samples of dress goods, prints, muslins, etc., are sent free on application. Those who order samples will oLlige by stating as nearly as possible the eOlors desired, and about the prices they wish to pay. In this way much larger selections bordering on their wants can be sent

TIE curious story of a New York doctor who was victim of the ''coffeen habit whether true or baseless, will probably serve to emphasize the fact that civilization brings with it host of harmful habits. Our ancestors knew but few of our present comforts, but they knew less of our diseases. Even the discovery of such useful drugs as quinine. cocaine, ether, chloral, antipy- rine and morphine has brought a host of new horrors upon those weak or fool ish enough to persist in the excessive and regular and undue use of such as tonics, palliativeS or sedatives.

THERE is a great diversity of opinion among the business men of Flagstaff in regard to the question of statehood for Arizona. It is the general opinion that the expense of state government will be greater than the good derived from it. If the advocates of statehood do not pull of their coats and work for the cause it will get black eye in this neck of the woods.

TIE work of the Constitutional Con- vention which recently met at Phoenix has at last been put in print by the Phoenix papers. The document is remarkable for it's length, It would make, set in ordinary law book form, about one hundred pages. It is four times as long as the Constitution of the United States But one state in the Union has a longer one than the proposed constitution for Arizona. The length of the document is no ob- jection to it. The question before the voters is its rejection or its adoption. The election for the adoption or re- jection of the Constitution takes place on the first Tuesday in December and but little time is given to discuss its merits and demerits, and as it is a matter of the greatest importance to every citizen of Arizona, every voter should carefully read the Constition and be prepared to discuss it section by section.

Fine medium wools in the grease remain at about 19(d21c, with occasional light lots as high as 22c. Texas wools rule in fair demand, with offerings moderate, the better grades of 12 months growth ranging about the same as territories, with the shorter staple at 5 to DC oil, as to quality. California wools remain quiet and about steady, there being little pressure to sell, owing to the high cost of supplies in San Francisco.
