Studied the situation. james Hamil-
ton Lewis, Democratic member of
the House, who denounced President
Mckinley's policy, returns from Cuba
and declares positively that the ma
jority of Cubans will soon demand an
tnexation. His own opinion expressed
in Congress in favor of Cuban indie
pendence he reverses, for he sees that
only the American bayonet stands be-
tween the Cubans and anarchy. He
and others believed that the Cubans as
people do not display even the rudi-
ments of self-government. In vain our
people were told by the students of his
tory, and by the political philosophers
that Self-government was only possible
in a community that possessed GER
tain percentage of intelligence, and
that the Cubans fell far below the
minimum percentage. They even told
that men are governed by their habits
and interests, and not by their rea-
sons, and that the habit of the average
Cuban had not even the color of self
government in it, But it was not I'M

As a permanent military occupation
of the Island gives the only assurance
for the reign of law, the prospect of
an Independent Cuban nation fades.
This is the evolution of events.
The Cuban property owners of all
classes, the native sugar planters, and
the powerful American interest in tre

This paper has never yet intention. ally published an item hich it thought would be injurious to the industries of the territory of Arizona, and particu- larly of the county of Gila, upon the prosperity of which 1t relies for Its present success. For this reason, when before last weeks issue, the in. terested parties to the bond recently given on the Pinto Creek properties, including W. T. McNelly, Con Crow ley, D. R. Williamson and Prof. Douglas Young, requested that the item be not printed in that issue. the SILVER BELT willingly "killed" an ar. ticle which was already in type, for the reasons given that publication at that time might injure the sale. This paper IS always ready to accommodate its patrons in similar manner. At the time mentioned the SILVER BELT was assured by two of the above named gentlemen that similar request had been made of the editor of the Globe Times. How well it was respected may be judged by a perusal of the three quarter column article published in that paper in its last issue.

MINES IN THE COPPER TRUST.

The Western Mining World, of Butte, Mont. publishes sn interesting interview with Marcus Daly, president of the Amalgamated Copper company. from which it appears that the pub. lished reports of the number of copper properties absorbed by the trust are greatly exaggerated. Mr. Daily Is quoted as saying: "The Amalgamated Copper company at present owns and will operate these properties iu Butte --the Anaconda group. the Parrot property, the Colorado company B properties aud the Washoe. The pub lshed reports were right about the capitalization--that is to say the S400,- 0OO,O talk was wrong. but the state ment is right thut the capital of the Amalgamsted Copper company is S75,. 0O0,O and it covers the properties l have named. It may very probably he that the capitalization will be iu. creased. In fact, I anticipate that, the increase to represent other impor- tsnt properties, which perhaps are hot far away from here. There is nothing in the report that the Amalgamated Copper company has interests iu the Michigan properties. There Is no such relation whatever"

A BILLION DOLLARS IN SIGHT
 FOR THE COPPER TRUST.

The Boston Financial News sent out the following, on May 6: One week ago it was announced that the Standard Oil magnates, Rogers, Rockefeller and their associates had begun their con- ouering march upon copperdom-that the much hsralded copper consolida- tion was thing of fact-thst the Au,slgamated company had been 'n. corporated, and that its first capital, S75, 900. 900, would be offered to the public by subscription through the National City bank of New York at slUO per share-Sl00 per share with. out discount, a commission or profit to any one.
 Up to II o'clock tonight the entire bank force, regular and extra, have been at work and at this hour it was announced the figures which make the subscription of the Amalgamsted Cop per the greatest event in finance since the world began. ft
 After throwing out bids that were on examination proved to be the efforts of speculators to take advantage of the great interest to make money with ao risk. and after throwing out bids un accompanied by checks or checks that were not satisfactory, the first class amounting to over Sl70,OO0, UoO, and the latter over $62, ,0O0, ,00O, the total cash subscription was found to have reached the gigantic sum of S4l2,OOo,- OOU, which gave to each and every subscriber Is per cent of his subscrip' tion.
 It is not known how much is repre-. seuted iu the 3UO subscribers who were too late, but it is estimated at S50, 900, OOO-tive of the 300 had single sub soriptious of Sl ,0OO. 900 each. It is estimated that the sum total of the subscriptions that were thrown out or that arrived by messenger or maii-for the mall is still pouring into the bank --wss between S3U0, 100000 aud $40u, 0O0, 900, which, added to what insiders had intended to secure for themselyes would have carried the total to over $l. 600, 900. 900.
 It is estimated also that there are great many who, anticipating all enormous oversubscriptiou, have re. trained from subscribing, aud will purchase in the open market.
 Immediately after the subscription closed l4O or 40 per eeut premium WAS bid for the stock secured by the lucky bidders.

The press of this week reports 8 cash subscription of S485, 900. 900 to the stock of the Amslgamated Copper company. Even in this day of gigsn- tic financial combinations this is the largest yet recorded. Of course the company is incorporated in New Jer- sey. It is exceedingly doubtful, in spite of assertions to the contrary, whether in view of the formation of this trust, copper will maintain it's present value. With snch reward as this in view the promoters could well afford to have maintained copper at IS cents and even higher.

The Amalgamated Copper Company.

Speaking of the copper trust, the Boston Herald says, 1t Is beginning to be called a blind pool, aud such it uu- questiunahly is, and is destined to he one of the lsrges: of the sort in the wo-ld. The Amslgsmsted Copper cumpsuy is s Standard Oil enterprise iu which sume outside interests are associated. The StAudsrd Oil com. pany is cue of the bliudest pools ever organized, aud the Americau Sugar Refining company has latterly become much like it. No cue knows anything about the Standard Oil company ex- cept as to the div 'dends. No oue knows anything more of value regard iug the sugar company. It is not ex- pected that the copper company will deal much more openly with the pub lie unless it shall be necessary to make s statement to the stock exchange in counection with any application for listing. Nothing has been said to in. dicate intention as to listing, but it is inferred that the undertaking cannot realize full measure of success unless the shares are provided with stock ex- change privileges.
 Let, then. people who buy into the AmsIgamated company realize wLat they are doing-hecoming shareholders in a monopoly and blind pool, expected to be tremendous industrial earner and great meney maker in other ways and through the stock market. Let them realize as we'll that they are par ticipatipg in an attempt to capitalize the present speculative ''boom.' This may not strike friends of .be under taking as wholly core ct, but follow the matter to the last aualysls and see if it is not substantially SO, aad tee if most ot the great consultations hefore the public have not made similar at- tempta

The SILVER BELT is grstitied to see that the position taken by it relative to the fake mining companies now being placed on eastern markets is endorsed by the press of the territory. It would seem to be almost criminal that these rascals should choose Arizoua for the location of theIr fake mines when there are so many really good proper ties being sold hy honest owners to honest purchasers.
