The Table Mountains.
From the Tucson star.l

The extensive copper veins and de- posits of the Table mountains are to be developed and the value of the same determined. The Table Mountain Cop per company, with it's principal office in Chicago, was organized some time since with strong dictatorship and ample capital have purchased the Burgess group of mines which have for some years borne the reputation of conts ming large ore bodies of copper and gold and of very high grade. Thos. Wirthers, of Cripple Creek, Colo, chief of U. s. min eral survey of Colorado, has been en- gagged as manager of the company. He is an experienced mining man and will. leave for the camp soon with force of men to enter upon the develop nent of the property on scale comme nsurate with it's importance which mems that the company means business. There is no doubt but what success will crown this enterprise for it has great, merit.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is credited with saying! "The cause of the pre- sent boom in the west is undoubtedly due in great measure to the large crops and high prices caused by the failure of crops in other countries,
 but the fact that prosperity set in at the east cannot be accounted for in any other way than by the wise policy of the republican party in restoring the protective tariff" Does the presi- dent wish to admit frankly the truth, that high protective tariff does not help the west and south as it does the Yankee corner of the nation? It is well said that there is business activity in the west owing to big crops and good prices, despite the robber tariff and the decline in silver, caused by legislation in the interests of the few to the detriment of the masses.

Suicide Among Classic Greeks.

Among the early Greeks suicide was uncommon until they became con- taminated by Roman influence. Their religious teaching, unlike that of their Asiatic contemporaries, was strongly opposed to self-destruction. While a pure and manly nation, they regarded it as a heinous crime, and laws existed which heaped indignity upon the body of the suicide By an Athenian law tho corpse was not buried until after sun set, and the hand which had done the deed-presumably the right hand-was cut of and buried separately, as having been a traitor to it's owner.
 The only suicides ever spoken of with respect, or anything approaching com mendation, by the early Greeks, were those of purely patriotic character, like those of Themistocles and King Codrus, both of whom were considered patriots The latter, when the Hern- clidae invaded Attica, went down dis guised among the enemy with the in- tention of getting slain, and having picked a quarrel with some soldiers succeeded in his object. The reason for this act was that the oracle had pro nounced that the leader of the con- quering army must fall; and the king sacrificed his life in order that his troops might be victorious and his country saved. Themistocles is said 10 have committed suicide rather than lead the Persians against his own pso- ple.-Lippincott's

City Collector Long Is making the Chinese vegetable peddlers tired. There are about twenty of them who had been operating in Phoenix before the licence ordinance was passed. All of them ouit until the license was reduced to $S a quarter. A few resumed operations and four of them yesterday paid the license. The others have been taking refuge under the provision of the ordi- nance that pedlar of his own products need not pay license. It happens, though, that none of the gardeners raise wide variety of vegetables. One makes a speciality of cabbage, another of melons, still ohers of tomatoes, and so m None of them raise fruit. The neddlars have established a sort of ex- change in back alley, where they meet with their wagons early in the morning and exchange vegetables with each other until all have an assortment suf- f.;ent to meet the demand White peddlers who have paid licenses supply them with fruit. This exchange was discovered and interrupted by the col lector yesterday and he threatened if the license tax was not produced to-day arrests would follow.-Phoenix Re- publican.

"Gov. NcCoRD's letter to the Board
 of Equalization" says the Herald,
 ''has awakened considerable discussion in various quarters on the matter of placing the Territory on a paying basis i. e., in financial condition to pay her way ss she goes, condition she has not been in for many years. This is the first great step to be taken toward statehood, and it is the first great step to be taken toward relieving the citizens of Arizona of tue financial burdens that are gradually accumulat- ing, because the moment it is known that Arizona is paying her way, that moment are people more ready to come here and make their home with us, that moment unlimited capital is ready to flow in to dig our canals, conserve our waters, build our railroads and open our mines on a scale not heretofore thought of. Increasing indebtness means taxa tion, and the Lord knows Arizona
 is burdened in that respect to the limit already. Gov. McCord has touched upon the vital question com corning Arizopa's prosperity and it is to be hoped that he will pursue it to successful and early issue."

The eye Of fhs American girl has all the bright alertness of her fresh and un- conventionalized intelligence, and matches admirably with the unceasing and-in the intransitive sense of the word-uhtiring ripple of her speech. That EngIishmen in general should find adelightful stimulant in herpersonality and her conversation is the most nat ural thing in the world; and that many Ehglishmen should, without any fore bodings of mental exhaustion, seek the lifelong companionship of this in- carnate spirit of beautiful unrest is in itself the most triumphant of answers to those who say that we of the old country are played-out race.-London Telegraph.

THE National Bar Association is do- ing wise and commendable thing in taking up the question of universal divorce law for adoption by all the States. Our present system of free-and easy divorce in sad commentary up on the manners and morals of the peo- pie of America, and it is high time for reform in that direction. When this law is adopted, it should contain an interstate clause which would make it crime for divorced persons to go from one State to another to evade the stat utes, and provide adequate punishment for such evasion. It is not unlikely that the recent decision of Judge Allen of Los Angeles on the subject of high sea marriages, may settle the status of those proceedings; but if not, the new law should clearly define the rights and powers of sea captains and make it clear whether, by taking boat to a point few miles of land, eloping couples can escape the law governing in the State in which they reside.

PHOTOGRAPHERS AND DUST.
How 1t Affects Their Plates and wha

How 1t Affects Their Plates and What
They Do to Escape 1t.
Among the many evils which are at
tributed to the all-pervading, never-to-
be escaped city dust, there is one which
constitutes grievance peculiar to pho
tographers alone. 1t is the injury
which the flying particles, sitting into
the room through every aperture, cause
to the delicate films and sensitive plates,
All films are made of preparations of
gelatin, and large proportion of the
glass plates now used are also coated
with this substance, which, because of
it's soft, sticky nature, is particularly
likely to attract every atom of dust in
the surrounding air, The particles.
however small, leave their impress in
the form of opaque spots upon the SEN
sitive surface and seriously mar its per-
fection. To remove the damage great
| amount of retouching is necessary,
which is not only laborious and tire
some, but which cannot always be sat
| isfactorily accomplished if the dust is
very thick. What is known as the car
| bon process" in photography is prob
| ably more easily injured by dust than
| any other. because an extremely deli
| cate film of gelatin is used. Chiefly on
account of this drawback the carbon
| process is seldom employed in this coun-
try, although photographs are made
| which resemble the real carbon pic
lures so closely in color that they are
carbon types" In England, where the
| carbon process is more common, 1t has
become customary for London pho
| tographcrs to send their developing
work out of town to be done, in order
| to escape the dust and smoke of the city,
but this practice has not gained much
ground here.
The photographers in this city, as a
rule, perform their operations in the
same building in which their studios
are situated, and for the sake of thus
keeping the developing process at home,
| they are obliged to be at great trouble
in protecting it. Some of the methods
employed for this purpose were men
toned to a Tribune reporter the other
day by n well-known Broadway artist
In the first place." he said, 1--WE not
only keep onr dark room itself, but the
whole top floor in which it is situated,
spotlessly clean. The floors are all
oiled until there is not crack in theiI

thoroughly washed every morning be-
fore we begin our days work. All the
tables, trays, and everything we use are
kept equally clean. The windows. in
stead of being in the side walls, where
the wind would strike them and bear

very little dust can come in that way
All the cracks in the doors or around the
window frames are stopped up, and we
keep. the dark room tightly closed as
much of the time as possible. Will
these precautions we manage to ge'
