GOVERNOR MURPHY, in his message to the Twentieth Legislature, made a number of excellent suggestions, but none more worthy of consideration than the following:
 essSSSs Ra %alk t6nb Rs9REsE tss fait danger of detection and punishment. The system now in force undoubtedly invites fraud and should be amended. Voters should, in my judgment, be required to register and vote in the precinct where they reside, and the great register should show precinct registration. Voters should be re- .quired to live in precinct at least thirty days next preceding an election, before be- ing qualified to vote thereat. Transfers should not be permitted later than ten days next preceding an election. The law should provide for registration days" not to exceed three. and places of registration should be designated in each precinct and the proper registering officers provided. The form of ballot should be improved and misleading vignettes not allowed.

AS TO MINING.
In These Days of Progression Mining is No
 Gamble.

One often hears the expression that mining is gamble" To some ex tent t is, and thsn again, is not. It depends largely upon the featu res con nected with each particular enterprise. Referring to the subjec t, the Mining Review says:
 "Mining as at present conducted, has ceased to be gamble. The system now in use for reducing and working ores has reduced mining to certainty, so that, given certain quantity of ore, ! it can be determined whether the vein from which the ore was taken will pay to work or not. The investor is no longer called upon to take his chances. Ore that will yield S5 per ton, and even less, can by the methods now in use, be made to pay. All that is necessary in addition to the ore is efficient busi
 ness management. But mining is not
 exceptional in that respect, for no
 business of any kind can be proftably conducted under incapable manage
 ment.
 "It is worth noting here that, al
 thoughplacer mnies are called the ''poo mans diggings," it costs more none. to get gold out of placerS than out o quartz. The placer mines of all coun tries attest to the truth of this asser , tion, nor is Klondike any exception . Rather, perhaps, does it heavily endors
 it correctness, for they who have stud V jed the matter assert that ever dollar that comes out of Klondike thi
 year will cost $6 to get. As business proposition quartz miri [ 'o is the safer of the two"

say on the subject from time to time.
 Senator Stewart introduced bill granting 2o,00Q, ,00o acres of arid land to Nevada forirrgation. This has been amended 50 as to grant 5000.000 acres to each of the arid land States, Such | legislation as this is altogether wrong. 1 Bitter experience has taught the peo- pie of the United States that such grants, made to States. are almost in- variably the source of corruption and scandal. We have enough of that sort of thing at present without inviting more trouble. The San Francisco Chronicle has the following sensible remarks on this subject, which The Times indorses:
 ''Land given to States is generally turned over by hook or by crook to private speculators. There are few in- stances where any other result has followed, and on that account the State land-grant proposition is very popular among legislators and lobby ists who believe that the public owes
 them living. We do not for mo-
 ment believe that the proposed Stewart
 grant would add an acre to the area oi
 irrigated farm land, or that it would
 bevaluable to anybody outside the usual ring. What financial resourse' j has Nevada, for example, to irrigatt n 100000 acres? What likelihood i r. there that she would raise money fo |, such purpose? And as for California
 with an empire of good land on he
 hands unoecupied. she would no nor ,o 90 into desert reclamation than sll ,g would into the business of adding t a. the ocean shore line. A hundred veal .l hence she might do so, but not nov
 The game would not be worth til
 candle.
 "This work is one to be taken up, = at all, by the general governmer GU Let Congress irrigate the 100000
 acres and submit them to preempti'
 under the land laws. If the object rt- to settle up the deserts with indust ng ous and thrifty farmers that is the OF at way to proceed. States will not do Ou- at their own expense or while tn ted have surplus of good land on t inc market. They could not afford to nj the basis of their present revenues ev if the land were needed; but th =. would not object to having the Fede ms government try its hands"

IN a speech at Denver this week Col. Wm. J. Bryan truthfully said: "The cause lives because it embodies the hopes, aspirations and belief of our people. It is a strong cause, because the people need silver. The American people favor bimetallism, never mind where silver is produced. We do not need it because silver is produced here. People eat because they need it, not because food has to be consumed. And 80 with gold and silver. They are inn portant in the worlds commerce be- cause they are needed, and you can never destroy silver while it is needed. The farmer, the creator of wealth, knows that the gold standard lowers prices without raising money. And if a gold standard should be once estab- lished you may set it down that the date of bankruptcy is not far ahead. To restore bimetallism is to restore the parity between money and prop erty. Those who advocate a gold standard as rule know that gold is not stable nor honest. The strength of the gold standard is to be found in the money centers and it's stronOest advocates are those who, when their dollar is invested, want it to go up."

A few years ago 4,500, GOO bronze swo-cent pieces were set afsoat. Three millions of them are still outstanding, but are never seen. A million of three-cent sil- yer pieces are scattered over the United States. but it is very rarely that one comes across one of them. Of the 60O,- 900 one-half-cent pieces not one has been returned to the government for coinage or is held by the treasury.

 Congress is likely to have much to say on the subject of arid land Iegis- lation during the next few years. Ii IS encouraging to note that the impor- tance of this subject is beginning to impress itself upon the public, and it is important that any legislation which may be enacted shall be in the right line. We have had striking example m thls State, of how even a well-meau- ing irrigation law may work great hardship and do vast amount of damage. The Times was among the earliest paper of the county to recor- nize the great importance of this arid land question. It will have more to

Eaean-Miles.
From the Tucson star.I


 Both the generals who have become mixed up in an affair of honor at Wash ington are known in Arizona, the com manding general of the army generally and favorably so, having been on duty in the territory. Of Eagan much less is known, but good story is told in which he figured. Some years ago there was case in court at Prescott in which the eloquent Tom Fitch and the late Clark Churchill took part from a legal standpoint. As to which side Eagan was on, defendant or plaintiff. it matters little. Tom Fitch was ma king an argument and during his plea ding he referred to Eagan as that soldier, to which Eagan took exception by rising and in pompous manner correcting Fitch by saying. "onicer, sir. not a soldier" Fitch was not in the least disturbed, but corrected himself by alluding to Eagan as "this officer who is not a soldier" The hit was n happy one, but Eagan did not enjoy it.
