IT isEsomewhss peculiar with what alscrity the Democratic iouEnals of the Territory bob up with suggestions to the Rspu blicens administration for ap- poinbment toishe office of Chief Justice just so sadly vacated by the death of Chief Justice Truesdsle.

EDISON has contFived, after quietly experimenting for eight years, system Of mining and recleimipg iron ore from ehe rocks of New Jetssy, where it sbounds in minute particles. but which
 bo the present time under any ordinary
 system of mining has been unavailable
 The system he employs with iron ore
 should be evsilabie for the reduction
 and securing of gold ores. If so it will
 mske available enormous quantities of low grade ores in this Territory that are now unavailable because the ordinary methods of mining and milling is too expensive or rather cannot handle them with sufficient expedition sud in sufi- oient quantity to make chem pay. With the Edison method of reducing She ores and with the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon to furnish electric power that can reach sb least the ent tire north erD half oi Arizona. the future mining operations for gold in this Territory are likely to be something enormous and the gold output something phenomenal The Ellison msghod of mining and handling iron ore is certainly great success and there is no good reason why it should not be ss successful in gold mining
