Recent advices from the gold producing
sections of the world indicate that the
gold production for 1897 will be even
greater than that of 1896, which exceeded
by far that of any previous year in the
history of the world. The 1896 gold pro-
duction was, in round numbers, 1920, 600, =
900, and that of 1895 s203, 900, OOO Prior
to that year the gold production had rot
exceeded $50, 600 per annum. Some
figures recently presented by the Director
of the French mint show the production
of gold in 1895 to be twice as great as
that OF 1876, and that the production of
the precious metals during the last half
century has been enormously out of pro-
portion to that of preceding centuries.
The total production of both gold and sill
yer during the 10th century he estimates
at 16 million dollars per annum; that of
the 18th century, at % millions; that of
the 18th century, at 80 millions per an
mum, while the first half of the 10Th cen
fury produced about 45 millions per an
mum. The gold product of a single wear

In spite of the fact that the tendency of
tariff bill always unsettles trade and
manufacturing, the reports from the vari-
Gus parts OF the country are very encourag-
ing Advces from all sections especial
ly the Mississippi Valley and the Eastern
States, show improved business condi-
lions. Reports to Bradstreets on May LIST
state that in Seattle ''trade is good and
shows an improvement over April of last
year, in San Francisco ''the retail trade
is reported as fairly good;'' in Nashville
''the local retail trade is somewhat i'm
proved" in Augusta "the retail trade is
reported good" in Saint Paul 'strade
continues good in all lines in which the
busy season is not over, and collections
are also good; in Duluth ''since the open
ing of navigation, there has been some

Milwaukee ''the amount of business
transacted is reported of fair proportions,
with prospects better and collections
slightly easier;'' in Saint Louis general
| trade shows a slight improvement, and
collections are good;'' in Louisville "a
steady seasonable trade is reported by
jobbers in nearly all lines, and collections
are fairly good;;' in Chicago general
trade situation is improved slightly" in
Baltimore sthe outlook for the fall is en-
couraging;'' in Pittsburg 'there has been
a steady increase in the volume of bust
ness;' in Providence, r. l., "cotton
manufacturers who recently reduced their
output have again started on full time and
capacity"

rapidly that the policy of the new admin
istration is materially different from that

AN AVAILABLE MAN

 HnnOrS.

Since change in the administra- tion will take place on March the 4th, next, and falling of political heads gen rally will occur, number of gen. tlemen of more or less prominence have been mentioned ss possibilities for the place of chic: executive of Ari- ma, but few have been spoken of, so far as we have heard, that meet all the requirements of that exalted posi- ton. The tirst thing tp be considered in this, as in all places of trust and honor, i- the mans fitness for it; his knowledge of the needs of the people and of sturdy charact r to deal justly with the peolle; to ignore party hacks and in all things be one of the people, free fiom narrownfss and above small things. We have such man in onr midst, one we believe will meet the requirements of the office and give perfect satisfaction to the whole people.
 This gentleman has never been prominent in politics in the territory but has large property interests here and is bonifed citizen CT the territory, is permanently and deeply ldeu- tified with the industries of ,he coun- try. It is the Hon. R. A. F. Penrose, president of the Commo wealth Min ing company, and is one of the prin- cipal owners of the great Pearce mines in Cochise county, Mir.

He is in touch with the in comirg administration and his con nectiors are such that we believe he would be sbie to do us, ss people, more real good as governor than any other man. His brother, Hon.

A NEW BILL.
To Abolish the Entire Grand
 Jury System.

The great expense of the vsIious counties in Arizona, as in all other states and territories. is the criminal court calender, ar d all laws loeking to ec ,nOmy in governmental affairs deals nr.t with this question. Councilman flakes of Maricopa county has been giving this question considerable study, and he believes abolition of tn 6 grand lury would remedy many of the glaring bills piled up in county affairs at prese nt, or if not the total abolition of this system, a regulated grand jury system which would lessen the bur- dens oi taxation. Mr. flakes thinks ths. the jurisdiction of justice of the peace should be enlarged so as to al low them to settle all petty offsnses now held for the action of the grand jury. There IS a heap of goof common sense in ths gentlemen's suggestion, and we hope 10 see come of them crys- tolized into olaws.-Gszerte.

The Horesless Vehicle Piasco In England

Nearly two years ago a prominent
English technical magazine, The Engi-
necr, wishing to encourage the dcvel-
opment Of the horscloss carriage,
about which there has been so much
said in recent years, offered the large
prize of one thousand guineas, on very
liberal conditions. for a competitive
trial Of motor carriages, and suisse
quently a supplemental prize Of one
hundred guineas was added for Nchi-
cles using light oil fuel, without any
stipulations as to weight or design.
Three Of the most distinguished OF liv-
ing engineers, Sir Frederick Bramwell,
Mr.. Asphalt and DR.. Hopkinson, were
selected as judges and consented to
serve. Thc date Of trial was postpon-
cd from time to time in the interest OF
the competitors, but finally seventy
two entries were made, each prospec
tive exhibitor having paid a Zee OF one
sovereign.
The proposed test has resulted in a
fiasco. The prize money has been paid
into the Prince or Wales Hospital
fund, n the Judges have decided that
not one OF the vehicles (Only five makers
having actually entered) was sufii-
GENTLY satisfactory ever to permit the
trial run TO Birmingham to be made.

fancied hat great rogress had been

their unanimous verdict after mature
elaboration. There were vehicles with
steam motors. electric (storage battery

motors entered for the run.
