per pound, but for convenience we will
be added to the gold and silver to dc
fray the working expenses. This would
make the United Verde's net income
for the past year $3,135,502 50, or more
than one-tenth the entire assessable
property Of the territory. At the same
figures the Copper Queen gave to its
owners $2,399,987.30. These two mines
alone paid to their owners in one year
a sum equal to one-sixth of the valua-
ton of all the property in the territory
including the two mines. At this rate,
in six years they ought to be able to
buy the territory and fence it. Remem-
Der, you who ossmaintain government to
protect the property and lives of these
men, that these figures only represent
two properties. There are many others
paying dividends ranging from $4,000
up to an amount that requires seven fig
ures to enumerate. The question that
every other calling in the territory out
side of mining would like to have an
swered, is: Do these rich mine owners
whose income for one year would salts
fy nine-tenths of the people Of the ter
ritory, pay their just proportion of the
expenses of that government. The leg
islators who are elected this fall, if they
perform their duty to their constit-
uents, will ascertain these facts, and if
the revenue laws Of the territory are
found to favor any business or calling,
amend them so as to make the burden
of taxation rest equally on all. Ma
tional legislation is all in favor of the
rich. Let Arizona show to the older
states that her law makers are in every
sense American, that they still adhere
to the principles enuncieted by the
founders of the government-that the
functions of all government is to do the
greatest good to the greatest number.

some of the papers in the territory

Some of the papers in the territory
who are wearing the collar Of the pres
ent administration, and jump and
scratch their legs whenever the ring
master cracks his whip, are trying to
persuade the people that if they will
elect a republican delegate to congress
this fall, Arizona would be admitted to
statehood. The people of Arizona are
too intelligent to be bamboozled by any
such tommyrot They are too manly
to sacrifice their principles to gain even
SO great boon as statehood, which has
never been denied any territory until
money" and not principle got hold of
the reins Of government. They are too
honest to seek admission to the sister
hood of states under false pretenses.
They are too thoroughly imbued with
the American spirit of independence
"to bend the pregnant hinge" to secure
what is theirs by the law Of God and
man.

the dictation of the ringmaster, bitter
" opposed home rule, which is next
door to statehood, and it will require
all the sophistry of which their inge-
nuity is capable, to convince the most
obtuse they would not fight statehood,
under a republican delegate as they did
home rule under a democratic delegate
It is ''the loaves and fishes" they are
after-not statehood.

It hasn't been many months since the
republican press of the territory were
abusing Bucky O'Neil in unmeasured
terms. According to their statements
he was an anarchists, inimical to good
government and a menace to the pros
perity and growth Of Arizona. Now
that he is dead and out of their way,
the same papers are lauding him to the
skies. How is an unprejudiced public
to judge such papers? How are they
to know whether they were lieing then
or now? II they are telling the truth
now, one must die to receive justice at
their hands. So far as known he died
holding the same political opinions he
held eighteen months ago, when they
were abusing him.

Since preparation for the war with
Spain began the government has pur-
chased 253 vessels at cost of over
100000. The smallest are launches
run by naptha or electric engines, while
the largest are transports of 5000 tons.
This does not include the freightera

The Spaniards are cordially hated by

When the governor of the Ladrone

The following remarks by Henry
Clews are important, if true. SIT is
now generally conceded that of the
whole $200,0O0.0O0 of the national loan
about $125,OO0,OO0 will be taken up by
the small subscriptions. This uiea-
pected result has placed some OF the
banks in rather awkward position.
Those institutions have sold their older
issues of bonds in order to get the new
ones, which would pay better, the re-
suit being that they are now left with
out these investments and may have to
pay good premium to replace what
they have sold. This is the more in
convenient because it interferes with
the ability of some of the banks to ac-
cept treasury deposits, not having suf-
ficient securities to hypothecate against
them"

A Washington correspondent says.
Congress will not act upon the bill to
restore the rank of lieutenant-general
in the army, and will leave the presi-

or any one else, as he pleases. They will
insist upon having hand in the choice,
and this honor will be left open until
the close Of the war, to be bestowed
upon the officer who best deserves it.

OBITUARY.

The entire city was shocked to learn
OF the sudden death of William Will
son Smith. He passed away at the
residence of his parents, Tuesday eve
ming. He had been feeling slightly in.
disposed for several days but no ore
Thought seriously.
Deceased was the third SON of John
and Juliet Smith, and was born in
Kent county, Mich, Feb. Is, 1874.
He lived there until 1882, when he
moved to Kane county. Ill. with his
parents, thence to Edwards county in
1887. He has lived here since. that
time until his death.
Death is always full of sadness. but
especially SO. when, as in this case,
youth, health, and a good name seem
to promise SO much happiness in life.
Besides the parents, five brothers and
t ,ree sisters mourn the end of one who
WAS greatly loved by hts family. He
leaves a large circle of friends, rs he
was young man who was highly es-
teemed by everybody.
The funeral was held at the family
residence west of town, Thursday al
ternoon at two o'clock, and was in
charge of the Modern Woodmen of
which deceased was a member.
The remains were laid to rest in the
Kinsley cemetary. A great many sor-
row stricken friends folio all that
was mortal of Will Smith to his last
resting place. The family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their great affection.
