NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that The
price of copper has receded to about
the figure from which 1t started las
summer, there continues to be a lively
inquiry for copper properties. AT the
request of eastern parties reports on var.
ious Pima county copper properties have
been forwarded, and the prospects are
reasonably fair that examinations will be
made. One feature of recent inquiries
for copper properties is that they are
made by manufacturing firms that de-
sire to obtain copper for use in their
business. rather than for the purpose OF
mining it for sale. This ia favorable
indication, showing that class of men
are becoming interested in mining who
are not going into it for purely specula-
tive purposes, but solely as a business
matter, believing that by so doing they
can make the middlemsn's profit, and
thus realize that much more on their
manufactured wares. To such investors
the low or high price of copper is not
such factor as It's 70 those who ca
gage "a tne business of producing cop
per for immediate sale in it's raw state.
Therefore it is encouraging to note that
numerous inquiries are coming from
such sources. Pima county has within
its borders immense deposits of copper
ore that need but persistent and intelli-
gent effort to be developed into paying
properties. An instance in point is the
Mineral Hill properties, about twenty
miles south of Tucson. 1t has been
known for years that copper existed in
that section, but it was only last sum-
mer that work was prosecuted on them
intelligently and persistently, the result
being that splendid property has been
developed, the extensive working of
which by the Copper Queen company
will be the cause Of large addition to
the wealth Of Pima county and Tucson.
This is only one instance, and old resid-
ents of Pima who are familiar with its
mineral resources confidently assert that
like results could be brought about in
many other portions of the county.

A NEW HOTEL.
The Cosmopolitan Being Put In Con-
dition for Occupancy.

The Cosmopolitan Being Put In Con-
dition for Occupancy.
For some years past the Cosmopolitan
hotel, which at enc time was the princi-
pal place Of entertainment in Tucson,
has been closed and had become a
stamping grond for spiders. But a
change is to be brought about.
DR.. Geo. E. Goodfellow, the owner of
the property, hes decided to put it in
repair, and work is now in progress.
The improvements and repairs, which
are under the direct supervision of Mr.
w. G. Davis, are of an extensive nature,
and when completed will make the
practically new building one of the most
complete and commO 1ious hotels in the
southwest. The improvements consist
in the laying of new floors in the lower
etory, the Encouragement of the front
portion and a thorough renovation of
the guest rooms in the lower story,
The second story will be divided into
large, comfortable, we'll lighted, we'll
ventilated rooms. Around The two
outside fronts Of the building there will
be erected large double porch. All
the rooms facing on the porch will be
provided with French windows, thus
enabling the occupants to step out at
will and greatly adding to their comfort
during the warm season.
Ii is probable that the hotel will be
leased and conducted by Robert Viii
hams, at present conducting a hotel at
Florence. Mr.. Williams has had long
experience in the hotel business, and
has always made success.
Owing to the extensive nature OF the
repairs and improvements the hotel will
not be ready for opening until about the
first of June.

In the course of long letter in the
San Francisco Call man by the name
OF Leonard Fowler takes occasion to say
some very unkind things about Tucson.
The article is also iaudatory of Phoenix
ana the Salt River valley. Ii is to be
presumed that this man Fowler thought
he would emphasize his praise of his
section of the territory by animadvert-
ing on other sections. But to most
readers this is an indication of a fear on
the part Of the writer that the town or
section thus lily spoken of is in more
prosperous condition than the ones
praised, and thus the writer's efforts are
IN part neutraiized. The CITIZEN stands
for the whole of Arizona, never saying
anything derogatory Of any section, and
considers such letter as the one writ
ten by Mr.. Fowler as displaying the
most reprehensible spirit of trying to
benefit one community by decrying an
other.

AWAITING THE FRAY.

From various signs discsrned in the
democratic press OF Arizona it is evident
that the party they represent has be-
come aware o: the fact that an important
election will take place the latter part
OF this year, and they have commenced
thus early in the year to make prepare
tions to put up the best fight they can
lsboring under the delusion that they
have a chance Of being successful. One
part of their plau of preparation is the
assertion that the republican party of
Arizona is, like themselves, rent by
fierce faction fights, and that the party
is in deplorable condition generally.
That their assertions are goundless, and
that they are made in the vain hope OF
bringing about the condition they so
much desire, is evidenced by the fact
that no particulars are given. This
mode of political warfare is an old dodge
and except among tyras has no effect.
The republican party of Arizona, IN
stead OF being disturbed by faction
fights, was never in better condition
than it is today. The personal qusrrels
that few years ago had some local in
fiuences but which never had any effect
on the party at large, have
all disappeared, and there is not now q
discordant note heard to disturb the
harmony that exists in the ranks of the
party. There is no doubt that the
splendid success OF the party in the
elections OF 1894 will be repeated this
year in Arizona. Under the splendid
leadership of Delegate Murphy in the
last campaign the party was brought up
to high state Of discipline and eficien-
cy, the party standing today fully equip.
ped and prepared, the members stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, ready and
eager to march triumphantly on and
achieve the victory already in sight.

COMING CITY.

Fro 10 accounts OF the work of i'm
provement under way at Arkansas Pass
contained in a recent number of the
Herald, published at that place, it is
evident that new commercial metropo
lis will soon be built up on the Texas
coast that will have far reaching and
beneficial effect on the whole western
country. For years the varied business
interests of the vast country west of the
Mississippi river have been handicapped
and retarded by remoteness from cheap
water carriage and the long and expen-
sive railroad haul. Owing to these
causes vast country. an empire in ex-
tent and resources, is enjoying but q
1.-THE of the prosperity that is naturally
its due.
For years the natural advantages that
existed at Arkansas Pass for the making
OF q magnificent deep water harbor and
the building up of a splendid CONNER
cial emporium were known and recog-
nized, but from various causes no deter
mined effort was made to bring these
results about. What was needed was q
man capable OF understanding the meg
nificent natural advantages of the place
and the grand opportunity here awaiting
for some one to improve, and who at the
same time was possessed of the ability
of organization, to carry the work for
ward to q successful Issue. The man
who possessed these rare and necessary
qualifications came forward in the per-
SON OF Brewster Cameron. He took hold
OF the great enterprise with his charsc-
teristic energy, laid the matter before
eastern capitalists in such manner as
to induce them to take hold of it. Ever
since that day the work of improvement
has been pushed forward with ceaseless
energy upder the direction of competent
engineers.
greatly benefited have been quick to see
the advantages to be gained by the
proximity OF such an aid to commercial
expansion, and the cities end CONNER
cial bodies which will be 80 vitality af-
fected are doing all in their power to
make the enterprise success.
Arkansas Pass possesses many advsn-
tages that secure it against successful
rivalry. 1t is the only point oa7. the aatt--
lantic Jsesuosrd south of New York
where deep sea going vessels will be able
te enter, thus giving it world wide, in
stead of q local, commerce. It will be
the natural point at which will converge
all the business Of a great extent of
country rich in natural resources. An
other advantage in favor of this richly
endowed young city is that it will be the
nearest hsrbor to the Nicaragua canal,
the completion of which will be brought
about in the not distant future.
ALI the signs and indications point to
the fact that at Arkansas Pass will be
built up one of those magnificent Amer
lean centers of commerce which are the
wonder and ride of modern civilization

ACCORDING to the Florence Tribune
the farmers Of the Casa Grsnde valley
and the Casa Grande Valley Canal com
psny have again locked horns and have
again got into court. Ever since its or
ganization the canal taken out of the
Glls river has been sore disappoint-
ment to the people of Pinal county.
About two years and a half ago
the farmers attempted to right their
wrongs by commencing proceeding un-
der law passed by the seventeenth leg
islatare. but they were persuaded to
stop by fair promises of the canal COM
psny. 1t is evident that the course of
the company has become so exssperst-
ing that the farmers decided not to
Stand it any longer and they have at
tempted to take forcible possession.

THE Arizona Gazette is calling for a
non-partisan statehood convention to
strengthen the hands of Delegate
Murphy. Such q move is OF doubtful
expediency. The ones heretofore held
in Arizona have been complete failures,
and tended rather to retain the admis-
sion OF Arizona instead of advancing
the cause. Again, as q rule. nom
partisan political movements are ger er-
ally failures, because of the fact that
both parties are go busy trying TO pre-
vent their opponents from gaining any
advantage that the movement is fruitless
IL the Gazette wishes statehood con-
vention let it advocate straight demo-
cratic endorsement OF Delegate Murphy'e
efforts through the democratic central
committee, and lst the republican corn.-
mIttee do the same. Let bSSn sides
advocate statehood As straight party
measure. Such n course would have
more effect Than q dozen non-partisen
Con ventions.

SEEING that the republican party
wants the vote of every western man
in order to elect its president next fall, ii
would seem that the declaration OF Sena'
tor Msrrill that every republican member
of the senate finance committee voted
against the bill for the free coinage OF
silver was very bad politics, to say the
least. The extreme gold bugs OF the
eastern states seem TO think that no
other portion of the country is entitled
TO apy consideration.

NNII2sHINGToN, Jan. 12-For q number
OF months Secretary Smith has been
making investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against Governor Hughes of Ari-
IONA. The charges were filed mainly by
Arizona democrats, who began forward
ing complaints more than a year ago.
The allegations were that Gov. Hughes
misused his Office in various ways, TAX
ing "rGngful procedure in dieposing of
certain suits in the courts, made unwar-
ranted payments of $50 per month
salary to relative, and among other
things, failed to support the democratic
candidate IN the recent local election.
Investigation has been made by the
representatives of the department and
| their report is a voluminous one, en-
| bodying conflicting statements by par
ties to tina contention.
Secretary Smith thus far has not de.
termined the course be will pursue, but
will decide within short time No
charge has been filed at the department
recently and the statement from Ariz-
ona that d grand jury had impeached
Governor Hughes ard the territorial

SAN Francisco, Jan. 13-Tbe special
correspondent of the Associated Press
from Honolulu by the steamer Australia
dated January 9th, state that the island
of Hawaii is meditRtiDg secession from
the Hawaiian government and the
formation of it's own government. When
the legislature meets next month. the
secession movement will be brought up.
IL the residents of Hawaii should decide
to form their government, nothing but
outside interference could prevent it.
The Dole government would be power
less, as Hawaii is more thickly populated
than eny other island of the group. Yhe
minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooper, is
now on Hawaii, trying TO ascer tain how
widespread is the desire for secession.
Friends Of the ex-queen are anxious for
war between England and the United
States, believing that in the event of
such hostilies England would seize
the Hawaiian islands and restore Liliuo-
kalani.
Carl Clemme, exiled from the island
for conspiracy in connection with the
1895 rebellion, has returned, sccomps-
MED by his wife. He was given no per-
mission to return, and has been rotified
by government that if he does not leave
at once ne will be prosecuted for cons
piracy. He Gays he will stand trial
rather than leave. The remained
OF the political prisoners were released
on new years day. They agreed to
support the present government.
E. P. Dole, formerly of Riverside,
CAL, cousin OF President Dole, has been
made deputy attorney-genersl.
The Hawaiian band reported stsrv-
ing In an Ohio town, will be brought
home at the expense OF the government.
