STRONG POSITION OF COPPER.

The rapid rise in the price of copper during the past few weeks is not TO- markable when the strong statistical position of the metal is considered, John Stanton, statistician for the Amer joan producers, takes the view that higher prices must como and that still greater increase of production will be necessary to meet growing demands. He snys:
 While the production of copper ore for '9S shows considerable increase over that of 'o7, and Is by far the largest production ever made in this country, the consumption has also been very large, especially since the close of hostilitiss with Spain, Stocks in Eu- rope, as well ss in the United States, at the close of the year, were unusually low, there being practically none in sight. As consequence copper has been making very rapid advances, and it has been rather hard to keep track of it for the past two weeks or SO. should say that 16 cents is fair price for copper today, and that represents tho highest figure reached in many years. Consumption is so large that it looks, too, as if higher figure will be obtained.
 The peculisrity of coppsr's position is that during the last few years of de. precision the production has constantly been increasing, and yet consumption has carried it all of. European stocks have steadily declined, until now they have reached the lowest point ever known. The electrical industry is a very important factor iu the copper business, and its need of copper is growing greater. Wherever railway or other construction is going on there is always large demand for copper iu the form of brass and variety of other articles. And as tho electrical business advances by leaps and bounds it is no easy matter tell what quantity of copper will in this way be absorbed.
 Now that betterment in business generally is being felt, great stimulus has been given to the opening of new mines and the development of copper properties. It is apparent that the OK isting mines have not capacity to fur nish the quantity that will be needed iu the near future. Companies with good prospects of becoming producers find that their shares are eagerly sought after, and it is the general be- lief that for some time to come copper mining will prove profitable.

The Old Dominion Copper Mining
 < Smelling company. which shut down
 its smelter December last, on account
 of the severe snowstorm and scarcity of fuel wood, is preparing to blow in one of its furnaces again within a few days. In addition to the limited local supply wood has been coming in over the G. V., G. & N. railroad from Ora ham county for the past ten days, and coal began to arrive several days ago. The sidetracks or spurs to the Old Do minion and United Globe smelters have been about completed and the fuel and freight troubles of tho camp are practically ended. From this time forward gradual expansion of inning and general business may be expected that will soon make Globe the liyliest and most prosperous mining town in Arizona. No boom Is expected or de sired, and persons of speculative turn, and those without money or ca pacity for hard work, who are figuring on coming hero with the expectation of growing suddenly rich, had best stay away. The people of Globe are pretty wide awake themselves and will take care of all the snaps which appear.

THE PROFITS OF MINING.

The attention drawn to the mining industry of the western and middle states and the territories by the annual exhibit ct the year 1898 has had the effect for stimulating investments in mining as a source of profit, which bids fair to grow largely during the current calendar year. A reference to the dividend paying mines, as publish ed in prominent mining journal, shows that ninety-two companies paid last year dividends aggrsgating S2l,- S05, ,000. It should be bourne in mind also, that the aforesaid list does not in- clude mines owned by close corpsra- tions and individuals, which publish no statements of their operations, and which If their transactions were made public, would more than double the aggregate of net proceeds derived from the mining of the precious metals and copper. Take Arizona for instance. There ia not A company operating in the territory included in the list of the dividend payers for 1898, yet Ari- zona's mineral output exceeded Sl5,- 800, 1000, and there are many mining companies in the territory which are known to have paid handsome profits, in which list we may include the Com monwealth, Fortuna, Congress, United Verde, Copper Queen, Arizona Copper and several others.
 A very noticeable feature of the ex- hibit of dividend paying minesfor 1898 is the fact that of the S2l, ,S05, 1000 paid to stock holders, the copper companies included in the list contributed nearly 55 per cent or S11, ,985,0 ,0O0. Further more. the great boom in copper oc- cured during the latter half of the year, and the year 1899 will show surprising increase of copper produc- tion and profits over the year 1898.
 There was never such a demand for mining investments in the west as there is at present, and the prediction Is confidently made that the in indus try the expansion of the industry dur ing 1899 will be greater than in any previous year.

comprise sal d board and the chairman shall be paid salary of $500 per year. The other two members are each to receive S5 per day for each day they are actually engaged in the bushes of said board. The bill has been drawn in accordance with the governors wishes IS expressed in his message and relieves the governor and auditor from acting in that capacity. In connection with the above it can be stated that at 8 caucus of the democrats of both houses held last week. three prominent democratic members of tho council were appointed committee to consult the best lawyers of Phoenix and obtain from them written opinion as to the advisability and legality of a bill repeating the present territorial boards of control and equalization and making these boards elective by dis tricts and accountable directly to the people for their official acts. ThiE eau GUS committee will make their report at an early day when immediate action will be taken.
 House memorial No. l, which relates to the fraudulent Pima county railroad bonds was passed by the council on Tuesday afternoon. The memorial sets forth at length the history of these bonds and the passage of the legalizing act by congress when Murphy was Ari- zona's delegate. The memorial prays that congress enact such legislation at once as will exclude the fraudulent Pima county bonds from the provisions of the so, called legalizipg act approved in June 1896. The secretary of the ter ritory is also directed to transmit to each branch of congress . copy of the memorial and also one to our delegate to congress. Council memorial No. is also petition to congress which vas passed, praying that cattlemen and sheepmen in ths northern part of the territory be allowed to graze their herds and focks on the national forest reservations recently created by order of tho secretary of ths interior.

He WAS elected and served with credit for several years as district attorney of Yavapai county. In 1893 he removed to Southern California, where he has since resided. Col. Eggers never lost faith in Arizona and has returned con- vineed that the territory has bright future, in which Globe will figure prominently. He will practice in all the courts of tho territory.

In the case of the Territory vs. Walsh, charged with violating the game laws, defendant wss discharged upon motion of the district attorney, it being shown by defendants counsel, George J. Stoneman, that the game law is imperative for the reason that the act of 1895, under which the arrest was made, is entitled as "An act to amend the law of lss7," which law was repealed by an act passed in 1893, leaving as the result an act to amend an act not in existence. Under this construction of the law which would seem to be correct, the territory is without . game law.

AS TO YOURS TRULY"

A great many anonymous if net ficti- tious persons are joined in a criticism Of Governor Murphy's official warning against fraudulent mining schemes in Arizona Under the head of "A Nat ural Result the following appears in the Tucson Star:
 A Tucson gentleman who is now in Denver on mining business. writes to 2 mining man with whom he is inter ested:
 Denver. July 1, 1899.
 Dear Sir: I have been here a week. Arizona has got a black eye by fakirs working fake copper mining schemes. Everybody here now thinks that the territory must be full of them from the fact that Governor Murphy issued a circular warning people against them, which was the worst thing that could have been done. To hear the talk here about Arizona surprised me, as we had heard nothing about it before reaching Denver Governor Murphy has done up Arizona's mining interests, good. bad and indifferent, fer the next two or three years People simply won't lis ten to any mining proposition
 YOURS TRULY.
 Admitting that there Is a gentleman named Yours Truly stopping in Den yer and that he did protest as above against Governor Murphy's warning against sharpers we must conclude that he did net read the warning. It was so explicit that it could not injure those mining companies net mentioned in it unless they were getting ready to do what the fraudulent comparies had one IL had bsen agreed even among mining men for years that the mining interests of Arizona had suf- fered from the numerous wildcat schemes which had been started here. The enc feature of the warning which has worried a large class here is the caution against buying mining stocks without investigation. If the eastern gudgeons who have been buying Ari- fzona mining stock for a quarter Of century had been warned at the begin ming Arizona would net have so black an eye new A mine which will not stand investigation is net likely to add much to the general prosperity of the terri5cry. The Star frequently ad- investors to be careful Why should ia turn tail when the governor issues a solemn warning?

 appears to be much worried | lest the Murphys or their friends shall have anything to dc with

 egates had the effect Of starting the Ox-Like Courier afresh cn the trail of the Murphys, as
 is invariably the case lxhen
 reference is made to 'tgood men" As the Ox-Like objects to the
 Murphys and most all of the
 other enterprising people of Arizona
 perhaps u will be kind enough to name
 six republicans whom it will be satis-
 fled to have represent the republican
 party of the territory at the next con Yention The republicans might be glad to let the Ox-Like manage this matter for them, as it would save time and annoyance and prevent the Mur- phys and anti-Murphys from mixing it up'' to any extent, so that with the opening Of the campaign all hands could rally around the Mckinley stand ard and make the republican victory memorable. The Ox-Like Courier has a tremendous pull with the common people" and we have no doubt that it could produce six birds as its candi- dates for delegates. Here is an oppor- tunity for the Ox-Like to redeem itself IL has presented so many fatulent edi- toriaIs of late that it's well wishers have come to believe that there Is either burr under the tail of the c1o- ven footed pet or that it has eaten something that has thrown it's digest i've organs out of whack.

THE SAME DEMOCRACY.


 When the democrats thought Mir. Mckinley was opposed to war with Spain they were all for war. They did their utmost to force the administra- tion into the conflict When, however, they discovered that the president was inclined to prosecute the war in such a vigorous way as to win great credit for his administration the democrats refused to arm and equip and feed the so.diers in the field. Then they did net want war. When the democrats discovered that it was the evident pur- pose of the administration to complete the conquest of the Philippine islands they raised a cry against criminal aggression" Then it was intimated that the president might not recruit the thirty-five thousand volunteers au- thoriZed by the law recognizing the. army, and there was an opportunity for another democratic shift. Of course. if the president did not feel inclined to send thirty-fve thousand volunteers to Otis after he had been authorized to do so the democrats would have t5 hold him Up to his duty And tEat is the way it gees and will continue to go as long as there is 3 democratic party.
