self into lobby to engineer bill through the next legislature creating tho county of Montezuma from that part of Maricopa lying south and east of the Salt river and the Rio Verde, with Tempe as the county seat. They depend upon being successful be- cause of having majority of the Mari copa delegation in the legislature from the south side. and the alleged jealousy of the other counties against the grow ing importance of Maricopa, politi- cally, and from increased wealth and population. THE BELT begs leave to correct the Gazette in regard to the cause of alienation of 'the other coun- ties" from Maricopa. It is not jesl- ousy, but Maricopa's assumption of political superiority over rural coun- ties, as shown by her on every oc- casicn when treasury pap is on the flow, claiming the lions share. 'Tis we'll that Phoenix should be dis ciplined, but it was not expected it would come from people of her own county.

COPPER MINING PROFITABLE

As showing the radical changes which have taken place in methods and processes of mining and treating cop per. it is interesting to note, says the Boston Transcript, that ten years ago, or in 1887, with an average price for copper somewhat better than this years average, the total of dividends paid was only $1.370,0O0. The best dividend record in the palmy days of the famous French syndicate" corner of the metal, when copper for time ruled mp to 17c per pound, was $4 ,U40, 900, and that total represented the payments of nine companies. Now, with an average price of the metal for the year 1896 probably no better than He, only five companies disburse con siderably more than s million above that aggregate, while they exceed the best total heretofore on record, that of 1895. when there was quite revival of activity the in industry, by we'll above a million. With such great returns on the capital invested the reason for Boston's steady maintenance of inter est in the copper mining industry is apparent. The copper mining com psnies have paid out total of all of fifty millions in the last sixteen years, and grand total since Boston first took an interest in the field of we'll up to seventy five millions.

The Black Warrior.

This company has been busily en- gagged the past week moving machinery to it's mines in Webster gulch. The property of the Howard Mining Go at Pioneer, recently purchased, con sisting of 50 horse power engine and boiler, large hoist capable of oper- ating to depth of 1000 feet, and two buildings were removed and will soon be in position on the Black Warrior Go. s mines. A carload of machinery, including Trails. ore buckets, tools and other supplies from Denver was also received.
 The main shaft on the Black Copper claim is down l25 feet, and there Is Q great showing of ore in the shaft and several crosscuts As soon as the hoist is in position sinking will be resumed and continued to depth of several hundred feet. Sinking was com menced short time since on the Dade- vile, the eastern claim of the group, and at depth of % feet the showing is excellent. There is ore everywhere, in the walls and bottom of the shaft, carrying high percentage of copper and of greater specific gravity than the ore in the Black Copper. It is confidently expected that the company will open up one of the greatest copper mines in Arizona.

GLOBE.
The Rich Mineral District. the Object i've Point of the Gila Valley,
 Globe & Northern Railway.

The Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway follows the serpentine-like course of the Gila river to the San Carlos Indian agency, situated at the junction of the Gila and San Carlos rivers, and will within a short time be completed to the city of Globe.
 Globe, the county seat of Gila county, is a town of 2,O00 inhabitants, and promises to be the largest copper mining district in Arizona, if not in the entire southwest. Here are vast copper mines which have produced steadily for years. The principal pro- ducers are the Old Dominion copper mines and the United Globe mines. The owners of the mines are at present making material changes in their plants and increasing their production.
 In addition to the above the Black Warrior Mining Company was on the first of last month incorporated for Sl 1000, ,0O0, and purpose the erection of their works at once. This company has done large amount of develop meut work within the past year, consequently are ready to commence operations immediately after their works are completed.
 Within the past three years there has been considerable activity in gold mining in Lost Gulch, near Globe, and the bullion output has been largely increased.
 The northern part of the county in the vicinity of the great Tonto Basin is also s gold producing section. Already three stamp mills have been erected, and with the completion of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway into Globe greater activity in this class of mining will naturally fol low. This is also the center of large cattle district, all of which will be tributary to the new road.
 With the advent of the Gila Valley, Globe X Northern railway the San Carlos coal fields have been segregated by Congress, and the opening of the coal deposits on the San Carlos Indian reservation is devoutly to be desired by Arizona, Southern New Mexico and Southern California.
 With an average elevation of over 5000 feet the climate of this particular region is one of its most attractive features. In the elevated tablelands aud mountain valleys during the sum- mer mouths the days and nights are deliciously cool, while in the river val leys the temperature is modulated by the rari6ed atmosphere, rendering it even and mild. With this health giving climate, fine mountain scenery, wonderful natural locations and ob- jects of interest, this part of Arizona presents unrivaled attractions to the health seeker and tourist.

The Journal Miner endorses the suggestion of its contemporary, the Prescott Courier, that Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt, of Gils county, would ac- ceptsbly discharge the duties of tho president of the council of the 10th legislative assembly, and adds that the proposition is meeting with favor throughout the territory. Mir. Hunt served ss member of the assembly from Gils county in the 17th and 18th legislatures with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his constit- uents, as is evidenced by his cleo ton to third term. He is well yersed iu parliamentary usages, and Tn the event of bis elevation to the presidency of the council would greatly facilitate tue business oi the session. The dis. function could not be mora worthily bestowed and would be regarded as . compliment to Gila county.
