ACCORDING to the observations of em- inent students of social and and polit- ical science, the people of the United States have larg-- sized black ele- phant on their hands in the southern states, remarks the New York World. How many more do we want? Do we really need a white elephant in the Philippines, leper elephant in Hawaii, a brown elephant in Porto Rico and perhaps a yellow elephant in Cuba? If ever a benevolent old gentleman was entitled to nail up on his door in big black letters the legend, "I have troubles of my own--owners of elephants need not apply" Uncle Sam is the chan.

THE ORB is surprised and pained to see the Tucson Star attempting to throw cold water upon the laudable undertak- ing of Governor McCord, since the gov ernor is about to consummate the aim ot his life. Permission having been granted the governor to raise g reei- ment, the Star dilates at length as to needed experience in battle. It says: "No place does experience tell for so much as in battle. TT ere is no reason why every regiment in the service should not have experienced soldiers on it's staff at least, for there are thousands of old soldiers, both union and confed- crate, who are willing to accept the re- sponsibility, who know what war means { who know how to act in battle, as well ae before and after" This isa unkind thrust at the governor by Regent of the Arizona University Hughes. All men have not had the experience of battle, as has the talented editor of the Star; but because NJ. H. McCord was too young to participate in the late civil war he is none the less patriotic, and should be put in command of the vol unteer regiment now being enlisted. If he lacks in experience, few pointers from the battle scared editor of the Star would not be amiss, and would no doubt be gratefully received. The public would naturally look for good word in the Star for Governor McCord, while Editor Hughes is the recipient of many favors at the instance of the executive. The world detests an ingrate.

THE group of mines recently pur- chased by the SOUTH BrsBEE COPPER MINING AND TOWNSHIP IMPROVEMENT COMPANY are situate on the south. west side of this copper basin, and extend from the top of the moun- tsins on the west to the center of the basin on the east. Few people have any conception of the ore bodies or the unlimited amour of mineral that lies in this basin. The Cooper Queen Company has been operating here for eighteen years and are down only 500 feet, simply because they found sufficient ore be- tween there and the surface, to keep them in constant operation. It IS said by parties who have the oppor. tunity to know, that they now have sufficient ore in sight to maintain their present output for l5 years without having to sink another foot; and what is true of their property must be true of this Company's property when developed.
 The stock books of the above Com pany are now open for subscription and limited number of shares are offered at TWENTY-CENTS per share. No applications for less than 100 shares will be accepted. Applications for stock or copy of the prospectus to be made to

 Every dollar of the proceed3 from the sale of shares of stock and from the sale of the Company's town lots and blocks, which We estimate will be a large sum, will be invested in sinking shafts, development work, the erection of hoisting works and modern smelters, and all necessary improvements, to make this enter prise successful in every way. We can deliver our coke supplies directly from the railroad cars to the smelt- CTS; and can also deliver our bullion directly to the cars. We have no salaried ofticers--hence every dollar will be used for developing the prop erty of this Company. The books of the Company will be open for in spection at all times, and at the annual meeting of the Company, full and exhaustive reports will be suhmitted to the stockholders, for their approval.
 This corporation is composed of practical business men. Upon re- quest of interested parties, we will, with pleasure, submit evidence to show that our claims are modest, in view of the remarkable indica- tions and possibilities of this prop. erty. PETER JOHNSON. E. ROWAN,

MAKING HISTORY.


Historic themes have been engaging the
attention of the Loyal Home Workers Tor
some time. 1t is now proposed to change
our point of view and consider the men and
women of the present time, or those who
have contributed an important part in shap-
ing our deStInieS, governmental and social.
At the meeting of the National Woman s
Suffrage Association, Just closed, which
Was the Seth anniversary of the Seneca
Falls meeting, which marked the beginning
OF the great woman movement OF the cen
tury, there was box in the opera house,
where the meetings were held, which was
lined through with pale blue and brilliantly
lit with electric lights.
Large and brilliant audiences attended
the great jubilee meetings every day and
night for week. Ministers OF the Gospel,
United States Senators and Members OF
Congress sat upon the platform and gave
their testimony to the uplifting influence OF
women. a woman whose next OF KIN had
been sold on the slave auction block under
the shadow of the Nations Capitol and the
woman born and bred in the heart OF the
South which bought and owned those
slaves, divided the honors in fervid and I'M
pasSioned oratOry. Women from the great
West, who have been made the equals OF
men before the civil law, as they always
have been before the law engraved on Sinai,
and who hold Offices OF trust and honor IN
their respective States, stood upin all their
youthful beauty to give new meaning to
the eternal protest of the fathers of the
Repu bile.
Among the assembled women were
preachers, teachers, editors, lawyers,
doctors, members OF State Legislatures,
newspaper reporters, lecturers, scientists.
reformers, artists, musicians, vocalists,
miners of silver and gold, bank directors,
ranch owners, dramatists, Kinder
garners, instructors in physical culture,
school superintendents, practitioners be-
fore the Supreme Court, and active spirits
in all the political, social, educational and
Government reforms and in all the patti
Otto organizations of the times.
These things do not come about by acct
dent. The collective woman of 1898 IS the
unit OF 1913. And what is true in this gem
eraI line of social development is equally
true in all special lines, whether it be
science, art, literature, music, education,
or reformatory work in all its branches.
What rich and vast field for thought and
exploration. Let us enter in and possess it.

things that will terminate in other hearts
