TO PROTECT HONEST MINING IN ARIZONA.
GOVERNOR MURPHY WARNS INVESTORS AGAINST
sTOCK-JOBBING SCHEMES BASED on
BOGUS CLAIMS.


Phoenix Arz, June q (SpeciaD-In an interview
with Governor Murphy to-day in regard to the
official circular issued last Monday warning in
vestors against stock jobbers who have for some
time past been endeavorng TO sell stock in mining
claims Of little value. the Governor said that
It was his express determination 10 denounce all
unworthy stock -jobbng schemes built upon alleged
mines situated in Arizona The purpose OF these
schemes is to sell large amounts OF stock through
out the East not based on evident values. He has
been induced to take this position because Of the
great injury which will result legitimate mining
in the richest Of all the territories by such whole
sale marketing of valueless stock.
The Governor says that many prospects, showing
little evidences Of ore, upon which corporations
have been formed with outrageous capitalization
are being exploited and the stock is being sold upon
rnisrepresentatons and because Of the reputation
OF valuable producing mines where the stock
iobbing locations made. In several Of these
cases the action OF the promoters Of these schemes
almost amounts 10 obtaining money under false
pretences The late boom in copper stocks and
great reputation Of some of the Arizona mines has
made 1t possible for stock -jobbers to be more
cessful in marketing schemes than usual The
Covernor unhesitatng.y states that he will his
utmost influence at all times 10 expose unworthy
manipulation Of this KIND, whenever II j. trust
men and officials OF Arizona wish the world TO
know that every possible effort will be made to
nrotect Investments IN the Territory He declares
mat the great merit Of Arizona as mining coun-
NV and tbe untold wealth Of her mountains do not
need capital based upon fraudulent representation
TO advertise them. The merit and productive
fation In conclusion the Governor stated that II
was exceedingly dlstasteful him TO invite public
terests Of honest mining and TO investors from
loss and 10 protect the character Of Arizona.

translation Of an article prepared for him by Man

The most remarkable feature OF the report Is tne
almost hopeless picture presented OF the cohoi.On9

Another Of the great difficulties in the way OF

PRELIMINARY WORK on THE CENSUS.

DIRECTOR MERRIAM ESTIMATES THE CoUNrRY's
POPULATION AT ABOUT sEvENTY-Two
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Washington, June 21.-Director Merriam has ar
ranged that examinations for appointments 10 the
Census Bureau shall be held in Cincinnati, Chicago
81. Louis, ST. Paul. Omaha, New-Orleans and At
lanta in September. The number so far eligible for
appointment is $50, and by February of next year
1t is probable that the number Will be 2OOo although
the majority Of clerks will not be appointed until
July Of next year. Mr.. Merriam estimates that
the coming census will show a population Of about
725OOOoO, taking into account among other things
the falling off Of immigration in recent years. The
closing OF a contract with Washington capitalists
for the erection OF a building for the exclusive use
OF the Census Bureau. the Director believes Will
save 800 900 a year. This is based on the delays
caused In the last by the separation OF the
force in various buildings ocCasoning loss OF
both time and money.
About two hundred and fifty Of the three hundred
supervisors who to have charge OF the worK
throughout the country will be announced next
month. , -
The following supervisors IN charge OF work IN
the States named have been appointed: Samuel A
Eddy. OF Hartford. Conn; George H Webb OF
