 H. M Porter's ranch in western So~ zorro county, N. M., was recently held up, presumably by the two men who a short time ago held up E. F. Burdick' s ranch on the Gila. They rounded up the horse herd and took fresh horses. food supplies and such other articles as they fancied. The manager Of the ranch having protested, they gave him
 notice to leave in three days, and he therefore acted on their suggestion, go- ing to SocorrO. The Deming Head light. after reporting the occurrence,

Hon. Henry F. AShurSf Of COCoRino
 County Visits phoenix.

Among the guests a. the Adams Ho- tel yesterday was Hon. Henry F Ashurst of Williams, who is visiting the different towns of the territory in
 his own interests as a candidate foI speaker of the assembly. Mir Ashurst has a great many friends in Phoenix and his visit here was q pleasure for
 them as much as it was enjoyed by Mir. AshursJ.
 MT. Ashurst is popular wherever he Is best known. Tn COconino county he was nominated for the assembly by the democrats. The republicans then paid him a compliment which the peO- pie Of C0coninO county thought was dCserved-tkey placed no one in the comes to Phoenix this winter as the unanimous choice of his county.
 ''I feel like this,' said Mir. Ashurst when asked for an interview, in mak- ing this canvas for speaker, that any thing I might say between now and the time for holding the caucus would not be of any value, as I have lived in Arizona twenty-two years. During that time I may have made some mis- takes, but they were out of a misfor- tune which no man escapes.
 q feel tender about the expenditure of the territory's money, outside of appropriations for the normal schools and the universities. As to clerkships, 1 believe they should be divided equitably. I feel like this, that while am a good democrat, if a good man is presented for a public place he should not be turned down. l believe that merit should stand above politics; that a man should be rewarded accord ing to his merit and ability.

SAN XAVIER MINES SOLD
The Kansas City Smelling Works
 Purchase -Then.

The well known San Xavier mines have been sold to the Kansas City Smelting company. The history of these mines goes back 70 the earliest development Of Arizona. Many men have made their fortunes out of the o1<.s of ne San Xavier, or through a sale to customers, who invariably found the mines bigger than they could handle with profit.
 The San Xavier mines are located eighteen miles south Of Tucson and adjoin the Azurite company's proper ties, which are now under extensive development. The work On the San Xavier. which is understood will be- gin at once, will be quite extensive, and taken in connection with the Azurite works will make a busy camp in that vicirity of the Pima mining district.
 General L. H. Manning and Colonel Leo Goldschmidt made the sale of the mines The consideration was $200,- GOO General Manning has operated in southern Arizona and Mexico for many years. and he is known among cas- ernc-s as a thoroughly reliable mining man. He has made great many good sales in Pima county. With the San Xavier mines in the hands Of a large concern like the Kansas City Smelling company there is every reason to be- lieye that they will become producers of great magnitude. The ore bodies are extensive, and the development has been pushed by General Manning dur ing the past year, during which time he shipped 10.000 tons of ore to the smelters Of Kansas City and Fl Paso. The ores of the San Xavier mines are low grade but the extensive bodies give the mines great Valu9.

Judge Richardson, of the Superior
Court of Massachusetts, has just rendered
very important opinion bearing upon
public contracts with Ia clause discrimi-
mating in favor of certain kinds of labor.
The opinion was given in the case OF
Lynch & Woodward vs.. Mayor Quincy
for an injunction to restrain Mayor Quln-
cy from interfering TO prevent them from
completing their contract on the Dover
street bath house in Boston. There was
clause in the. e.contract stipulating that
only union labor should be employed,
and the Mayor, on the ground that the
contractors had violated this clause,
sought to prevent them from finishing
the contract. instuoting policemen to
keep them out of the building. Judge
Richardson found against Mayor Quincy
on every point, holding that the sole rea-
son why the contractors were not allowed
to finish their work was that tn ey had
employed some labor that did not belong
to the union, and that even for this the
Mayor and the other defendants were
partly responsible. On the general sub.
ject of discrimination in public contracts
in favor or against certain kind of labor,
the Judge said:
There is no authority in law fer any
officer of the government, state or mu-
nicipal, to force such discrimination as
was attempted in this case between work
men in respect to the privilege OF LABOR
on public work paid for by taxes levled
upon all, forNno reason expect tnat some

ing labor and the benefit of 1t to one
class, and denying it to another. regard
less Of their rights, needs, quallflcatlons
or merits, or the public welfare. Such
discrimination in the employment OF labor
is not in accord with our IDEAS OF equal
rights, and seems not to be conslstenG
with an Impartial administering of pub
lie business; and any agreement that
such discrimination shall be made Is
ontrary to public policy, and is, IN my
opinion. void The constitution OF Mas
sachusets declares that mo man nor cor
poration nor association OF men has any
other title to obtain advantages or part1c-
ular and exclusive privileges distinct from
those OF the community Than what arises
from the consideration of service rem
dered to the public.'' Also that gov
ernment is instituted for the common
eood-not for the profit, honor or private
interest OF any one man, family or class
of men,"
Judge Richardson's views seem to be
eminently sound and just, and the lesson
of his decision ought to be salutary sone
to municipal officers. Probably in this
case Mayor Quincy was practically forced
to put in the discrimination against
non-union labor by threats of opposi-
ton at the polls if he refused.

FACTS ABOUT ST. AUGUSTINE.
History VS.. Fiction-How Visitors Are be
ceived by Misleading Guide Books and
so-OaIIed Histories-A Graveyard Tradi-
tion-The Oldest Houses in America.
IN. Y. Post. J

st. Augustine Fla.-Some one has
written that "a resort without tradi.
tion is like country without a history
St. Augustine, the Oldest settlement in
America by forty years has both, but
they are SO intermingled that it is very
difficult to separate them. The visitor
who relies upon guide books and the So
is utterly lost.
First of all, the 'Huguenot cemetery
does not exist-except in tradition or fio-
tion. The Huguenots. came in 1869, and
two years later, in 1884, the place was
taken by the Spaniards. A few of the
latter died and were buried in the spot
now enormously called the "Huguenot
cemetery, but there were no marble
tombstones placed over their graves. The
200 Frenchmen who were massaored by
the Spanish when they captured Fort
Caroline were left unburied for the
wolves and vultures to prey upon. Those
who were shipwreoked at Cape Canava-
rel, after surrendering, suffered a similar
fate and desecration. The few whose
lives were spared returned to France,
and thus ended the Huguenot settlement
in Florida and the attempt of France to
colonize this vast country.
True, De LGourgues came with a fleet
the following year to revenge the death
of his country men, and while seeking ma
tionaI revenge he had an old score to set
40 xr;+t, +bo Spapiorda who n faxr WOO ru
previously had captured him. and sent
him to work in the galleys.
He in turn surprised the Spapiards, and
after taking their fort put them to death,
about 200 in all, only a few escaping,
Some he hanged, in retaliation for the
Frenchmen whom the Spaniards had thus
murdered. He then burned the wooden
fort, end the few buildings and returned
to France. He did not come with the in.
tention of effecting settlement, and die
not attempt 1t. Neither did he come in
search of the gold and pearls, which welt
said TO be SO abundant but for revenge
alone.
So it will be seen that the "Huguenot
cemetery, the oldest in the United
States. is only tradition.
Next, careful investigation shows that
the "old Spanish slave market is also d
myth In the plaza where the present
market stands, which was built in 1910,
there stood a primitive structure, where
were sold fish and vegetables, to which
the Spanish housewives were summoned
by the loud changing of bell, at what.
ever hour Of the day the vegetable and
fish vendors arrived. Slaves may have
been sold there, as at auction rooms, but
the market was not built for that pur.
pose, and was not called "slave mar.
ket'' until the United States acquired
Florida.
Another pleasing fiction is the ''oldest

The debate which has been going on in
the Senate for o week rast has been en-

cussea for weeks in both Houses in 1878
and passed. The action then taken has
of Congress, and stands today as the last
direct word of Congress upon the subject
If the pending resolution be pressed to a
vote in both houses it will almost certain
ly end in reversal by one branch at
least of the action in 1878 and as far
YER men will be worse off than now.
IL the debate was started as purely
academic discussion then too it was en-
tirely unnecessary and useless. Nothing

effectively and well as now. All the
straw that has been threshed the past
