COPPER.

The market for Lake Superior pro duct is, if anything, stronger than it was week ago, says Iron Age. In certain quarters, where prices ere ad- justed to suit the whims of limited speculative circle, and from there dis seminated through the daily papers as reAecting market value comparatively low and decidedly misleading quota tions have gone broadcast Not only that, but the market has been repre- sented as beiug positively dull, when, iu fact, business was on quite Q large scale. At least 400, 600 10 were sold at 12sc during tho early part of the week under review. Since then nearly if not quite 800, 00o lb have been placed at l2le for delivery during the balance of year On the Metal Exchange Q contract for %, 900 lb for October de livery at l2.35e was recorded, but sub- sequent bids of the same price failed to draw out additional parcels The low est offer was at 12 45c, which on Exs change terms is relatively higher than 12lc regular. Home consumers are consuming more copper at present than at any previous time this year, the late break in prices for manufactured cop per and brass having drawn in numer- ous orders from various sections. Ex- port movement has served to cut sur plus stocks considerably, also leaving producers well in control Arizona Ingot, of which there is only moder- ate supply available, is quoted at l2c O l2l.

ARIZONA AND axn ALTERING srArEMns


 Tom Benton, nliGs 'old Bullion, !" an hereditary Democrat, who served thir- ty consecutive years in the United States Senate, nnd Killed his man OLucas) for political opinions sake, maintained with his expiring breath, that the world was governed too much, but, nevertheless, political tinkera of the present day, and especially those of Arizona, are never 80 happy as when clank;ng in your face statutory chains Many of our statesmen, like the ana- teur sportsmen, are fast acquiring val- uable information how to render their shots effective by miSihg the powder and shot well together before putting it in the barrel, but it frequently hap pens with the oratorical branch of the ''State convention" that, in loading, they rendered the charge ineffective by the mistake of putting caps into the barrel instead of sticking them on top of tho touch-hole.
 Now that cash and days grow short | together, the convention nay be ex- pected to adjourn, and representatives return to an admiring constituency and be welcomed by a brass band, which will afford them the opportunity, when the nectar of rye has loosened their tongues, of making speeches under the pretext of giving an account of their stewardship. On that occasion they will be chilled by sad surprise if bombs bursting in mir do not supplement, among the stars, the rapture that dilates the soul of Arizonans over the l prospect of our Territory becoming q State although we enter "'the galaxy burdened by debt of 8, 800, 600, and in addition greatly in arrears of pay meut of current daily expenses.
 Only think oi it, when either Mark Smith, William H. Barnes, or some other aspiring statesman, rises in his scat to address the Senate of the United States, upon tho propriety of eediug tc Arizona the arid lands within her bor- der for an ostrich farm, how the lip ot New York or Pennsylvania will curl, regarding Arizona as a poor relation, but, notwithstanding the coLtemptuoul curl, Arizona is healthy, vigorous child, has already an appraised estate of S2S, 270, 466 2S, al increase of S220, 23I 55 over tho assessment of 1920; but not; with her present indebtedness, i. she warranted iu assuming sdaitiouG obligations iu order to become sister State, or ba regarded as an heiress The time, however, will net be long when she will hayo passed her homage and be welcome guest, and partakt of boiled mutton and turnips at th, table of States, which now very justly regard her as a presumptuons pert.

The convention, as far as in their power, has anchored the Arizona schooner of State in Phnnix, and all in the county of Maricopa, but what other counties outside of that favored spot will have to say, when the constitution is submitted to a vote of the electors for adoption or rejection, is Q question. Phoenix is situated in the southwestern part of the Territory and the perma- nent location of the capitol there is all injustice to Northern and Central Ari- zona. IL may be eontended, and doubt less will be, that Phenix, in regard to population, in centrally situated. + it is now, the question is how long will that be the case {? A few years heuca will be time enough to consider the question of the permanent location ol the capital.

We have all heard the time worn joke of the mean man who put green goggles on his horse and fed him shavings. If we arc to believe the Washington Star, that is not so far fetched or improbable as has been sup posed, for we are informed that the Department of Agriculture is actually engaged in experiments to produce bread from sawdust Scientists, it is said, believe there is no good reason why the thing is not entirely practiea- ble. Sawdust is precisely of the sante chemical composition as starch, and tile problem which scientists are trying 10 solve is how to transform the one into the other When that is accomplished, the laboratory will replace the farnl and we will all live lives of ease and be happy.

 There is every reason to believe that our commercial relations with Mexico will be very much closer at no distant date, than they have been, While the trade of our southern neighbor is of very great importance, Mexico's de- pendence upon the United States for 3 market for her products is not fully appreciated Our imports from Mexi- co, since 1885, have increased wonder fully about one hundred and fifty per cent. while the growth of our exports to that country, during the same period, was but little more than seyenty.one per cent For the year 1890, the fig ures stand; Imports, S22, 690, ,9l5; ex- ports, SIP, ,666, 10S. Our trade IS as valuable to Mexico as that of all the European nations combined It is evident, therefore, that Mexico's de- pendence upon our markets is very great, and increasing so ropidly that it is necessary that she should maintain, and cultivate further, friendly relations with this country. Consequently, it is within the power of our government to exact concessions commensurate with the value of our trade. President Diaz has appointed minister to arrange & reciprocity treaty with us, and there is every reason to believe that the nego- tiations will be successful.

Not only was the right of women to vote at general elections denied n place in the constitution, but the legislative assembly was not entrusted with the question further than, ih it's discretion, to refer if to the vote of electors, in male attire, at n general election, This, we are informed, so angered the advocates of the measure that they vowed active opposition to the adop- ton of the constitution It is to be hoped that their efforts, in that behalf, will be crowned with success.

Application has been made for the privilege of building an electric oleya- ted railway on the Chicago exposition grounds, The car traYels on singio rail, getting its power from an electric rod underneath the car, It is claimed that the ordinary speed of this system is one hundred miles an hour. An eX- perimental track one-half mile in length is now in operation in St. Louis This is hut the beginning of the end of the utilization of electricity, It is only fifty-nine years since s. F. B. Morse, when on board of the ship SulIy on his return from Europe to accept the pro- fessorship of Literature of Arts and Design in the University of New York, heard gentleman describe the then recent French discovery of the method of obtaining the electric spark from a magnet. He clanmed that this sugges- ton enabled him to conceive the sys- tenn of recording telegraphy, but it was nut until eleven years later that con gress enabled him to prove the success of his theory
 The first message ever transmitted by recording telegraph was that sent by Miss Annie Ellsworth a school girl, who appraised Morse that the bill ap- propriating 1880, 900 to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, iu Q series of experiments for testing the merits of the telegraph should be considered" It met with ridicule from the outset Cave John son, of Tennessee, moved as an amend ment, that one-half the sum should be given to lecturer on mesmerism, then in Washington, for trying mesmeriC experiments under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury. A Mir, Houston thought Millerism ought to be included Tn the benefits of the appro, priation. After the indulgence of mucl cheap wit, the amendment being voted down, the bill passed the House one how before the close of the session by vote of 69 to S3, The bill met with neither sneers nor opposition in the Senate Senator Benton, on that occasion, pre- dicted that electricity would supersed, the use of steam The first pubh, messages sent were notice to Silai l Wright, in Washington, of his nomina ton for the office of viee-President O the United States, and his response de cliuing it. The convention did no credit the statement contained ID tn, dispatch and as . consequence of tba belief the convention adjourned t, await the report of a committee sent tt Washington to get reliable information upon the subject Such were the cir cumstances attending the birth ol th, electro magnetic recording telegraph.
 A writer, referring to the same sub iect, said 'the ingenuity of man ha framed body for the telegraph, it mighty powers unknown until Mors' divinely inspired it and endowed with intelligence The power of elec tricity is yet in it's infancy, but is fas arriving at adult age through the in yentiye genius of Edison and his co temporaries.

 It is in no sense an intentional mark of respect to Deity that recognition of God is given place in thc proposed constitution of Arizona. One delegate possessed the courage to stste upon the floor of the chamber tlat it was done to placate the pious and sorpe as bait for the support of the clergy. There is no reason to believe that the Creator feels at all honored by thus ruthlessly invading the sanctity of His holy realms and harnessing Him to an Arizona con stitution to do dirty work fer the poli- ticians. It is as much ont of place there as the portrait of the Saviour would be considered upon Q deck of cards. It contains ho honor to His name and establishes no closer recipro- cal relations. Even as m offset to pre- meditated or accomplished interpola- ton of wicked measures, it cannot be justified. But beyond there IS deep CT, grayer and more important reason why this action should not be endorsed by the people and in itself should de- feat any proposed constitution. It is the entering wedge of the coalition of church and state and, as such, is per petual menace to the peace of future generations. To-day it is merely a rec ognition of Deity to morrow it be- comes an essential feature of political preferment, and finally it dictates tenn roIal affairs with an iron hand and un- merciful purpose 1t is the old story; q fanat!cism even shared by many good people whJ honestly believe they are willling divine favor by thus profanina perfection md purity The wise men in Congress have long resisted this mis placed zeal, but the Arizona salons dis ike precedent, and arc strictly original, if anything.

TaE L&aD TARIFF.

The following from the Denver Min ing Industry does not accord with the opinion expressed by some of our Southern exchanges, but Is probably nearer the truth: "The effect of the lead ore tariff section of the Mckinley bill IS seen ou every side The production is stimulated to such an extent that Colorado is producing moro lead ore than eyer It is producing enough to supply every emelter in fhe State. Other smelters using lead ore, whether located at Kansas City, St Louis or elsewhere, feel the benefit also. The last one to bear witness to it is the San Juan S. & NJ. Co at Durango. It re- receives it's ore from a region not sup posed until late, to be rich or produc- tive in lead ore. But it's natural wealth has been shown up, owing to the tariff, which gives the mine owner reason to expect stable prices for lead ore, and makes his business one that is devoid Of the demoralization that comes from great fluctuations in prices, caused by the speculatioBs of importers in fact there is danger that the production may largely exceed present demands We  hear of one mine which just began ship. ments of 10 ions daily of lead coneen- trates, and finds it impossible to con tract if, the smelters being supplied. There is an evident need for an in- crease of smelting capacity.

ARIzoNt's TAXABLE WEALTH AND IN.
 DE8TEDNrss.

Acting Governor N. O. Murpliy has caused to be published statement, from advanced sheets of his report to the Secretary of the Interior, purpor- ting to give the valuation of taxable property and indebtedness of the Ter ritory The valuation of property, by the Territorial Board of Equalization, is stated Ut S2s,27O, 466 2s, an increase over the figures given in the Governors message to the last legislature, of S220, 231. 55. The total indebtedness (Territorial, county, municipal and school is placed at S8,394, 000.97, an apparent reduction since the date of the Governors message to the legisla- ture, of S133, 0O0 We use apparent advisedly, as no explanation is given as to how the indebtedness has been reduced by so large an amount in so brlef period, and no evidence exists
 SO far as we can ascertain, that our hnan- cial status as Territory has been i'm proved during the current year. And, indeed, Mir. Murphy's figures indica- ting reduced financial obligations Or1 at variance with his statement that the tax levy of Fl cents for Territorial pur- poses, lis insufficient to defray the ex- penses of tho government, pay interest and provide for the proper redemp- tions, It is we'll known that the Ter. ritory has been running deeper into debt year by year, and the Sixteenth Legislature took hand at increasing the indebtedness, by making the fol lowing appropriations: "For current expenses of a certain special committe; to investigate Territorial institutions, 5000; to reimburse the county of Gila, S934. 73 (overpayment of license tax to reimburse Graham county ditto
 S2,056. 63; to reimburse certain coun ties (ditto) s3, 253 60; Columbian Ex position loan, s30,OOO; to provide fol the protection of the frontier, six cents on the hundred dollars of taxable prop erty (s16, 962 20; for the current ana contingent expenses of the civil gov, ernment, SA, ,074.37. Total appropria. tions (some of which are contingent aud may not be required) S9s, 2Sl GO. The statement credited to the Acting Governor contains an assertion, which is SO far from the fact as to appear ridiculous The claim Is made that S2s, ,270, 466.2S does not represent the true value of taxable property in the Territory, and that if properly as sessed it would show Q valuation o s7O, ,0O0, 0O0 So far as our knowledg, of other section goes, there Is DO Stat' O, Territory in the Union, where prop efty is assessed SO near to its actua value as m Arizona, and instances art Aot rare in Gila county where property lIas been assessed at higher figur, than it could be sold for The rul, almost invariably followed in assessing taxes is to fix the valuation at wha property would probably bring a forced sale If the valuation of prop erty in Salt River Valley were fixed a what some Phnnicians imagine it i worth, DO doubt our taxable wealtl would be so greatly augRented as tC afford an ample revenue, at presen rates of taxation, without calling upor the balance of the Territory.
