purveyors, who by commission legally and
regularly authorized did receive those pro-

been formerly agreed upon in the several
counties of England, which price (by reason
OF the value or money much altered) was

Before the adjournment of the con vel tion Mark Smith aT0se and said that, as the members had completed their work, he for one was desirions of asserting that on the floor and in the committee he felt they had done their best to work out for Arizona such constitution as would promote her highest prosperity and future well fare. There might have been certain sharp passages, certain asperities in debate. Such events were incidental Go deliberstive bodies. For his part he desired to apologise if in any way he had done anything to provoke the least unkind sfeeling Ain the breasts of his fellow members. He hoped to go away from this convention, carrying the undiminished respect of his ssso-- ciates, as he would entertain such sentiment for them.

Col, Herring Swears Fidel, ity to Statehood and the ConStitu-
 ton.

The last hours oi the constitution were interesting. One of the pleasing features were the remarks of Col Her ring whose probable support of the constitution had been questioned, and was sn agreeable surprise. He said:
 "It was to remove some lifts that interfere with journey, either on the wagon road or on the highway to statehood, that I went on record as filing certain protests. Still the con- stitution doubtless represents the best plans devisable by those who voted for It. I wonder that in twenty-five years we have overcome SO many physical difficulties. I am not disturbed at the public indebtedness which has this far accumulated. I only feel surprised that under the circumstances, it is no greater. We are fast removing our physical difficulties, and if we have done so well in the past, what must we not accomplish in the future, with constantly increasing facilities. l would rather suggest a reduction of taxation, so that it will not be an overpowering burden to the taxpayer My associations and memories during the convention have been the most pleasant. It has been truly s repre- sentative and industrious convention. I would oppose, not sn atom Of dust to the car of statehood to which We have harnessed ourselves, which will bring self government and the greatest happiness that man would have on this earth" fApplsuse.l

ZINC ORE.
It Will yet Become a Profit. able Resource of COchise
 County.

Inquiries for zinc ores are becoming more numerous. Letters received at this office from eastern buyers are frequent and the immense bodies of Argentiferous lead ore carrying so much zinc that they have been unproftable to handle, will yet become a source of revenue to their owners. From an article recently published in the Mining and Scientific Press, the pleasing fact is brought forward that Germany is bidding for ores of this character in the United States.
 The writer goes on to say that efforts are being made to get the high. ly scientific ore reducers of Germany to become regular buyers and handlers of American zinc ores. The South west Missouri and Southwest Kansas Lead and Zinc Association has for some time had an agent in Germany working to get the smelters there in ;erested m American zinc ores, He has been showing them samples oi our ores and telling them Of what immense quantities of ore carrying large percentages of zinc there are in the United States.
 The Germans have become con- yinced tbst if zinc ores exist in the United States in kind and quality rep. resented they can make far more by handling American ores than they can with their own. The zinc pro ducers of Missouri and Kansas and the zinc smelters of Germany are ac- cordingly working together to have special through tran portation rates on ores made from the mines to the smelters, and to have the duties taken oil zinc ores in Germany. These efforts to introduce our zinc ores in Germany will be watched with much interest by our American zinc miners.

Fire Protection.

Frank Ryan has been elected Chief of the fire department for the ensG- ing year. As he pays pretty dearly now with the numerous offices he fills for the salary he draws, he will not it is said accept the office of Chief of the Fire department It would seem that the city might afford to pay Chief a small compensation for looking after the fire plugs, hose carts, etc which is sadly neglected at present. A steward st S10 per month cannot attend to these duties. Ii is not their business. A small sum Of say $500 per year would be ample compensation for such an officer and in case of a fire, the sum would be insignificant compared with the increased protection afforded by sound hose and perfect fire plugs Ryan is the proper man for the place and before he resigns it would be wise to consider this question seriously.
