HOW We STAND.

' he following is taken from the Phenix Republican, and every word there should be endorsed by the bonaGed element of the lerritoryi In addition 10 that below it must also ba apparent to every one that with Arizona's financial principles nursed zealously and conscientiously ss they are today, every interest that calls for the investment Of capital, Is encouraged instead of bl ghted To reek in political job bery only leads to ruin, and when our financial backbone is shattered and disregarded, as has been often the case m the ast, in county as well as territorial affairs. every iu- duStTy that needs the benefit of out side aid, is simply dwarfed. IL should be gratifying 10 all to wit ness ine conditions apparent today: "The fnsncial condition of the ter ritory was never better than it Is now. Territorial warrants draw only seven per cent interest and are sell lhg al par The territorial bonds are being held at los. Never before did our bonds command such a premium. and our floating dsot was never before in such admirable con IitIon. Eastern capitalists are re- gJ ming confidence in Arizona. and their money Is seeking investment here. Time vas when they shuune Arizona. Time was when tue re- pudiators and calamity howlers were goiug up aud down the territory with their tails of Woe. The good times of be last year have forced the calamityites tC the rear. There is general confidence in the national administration. The people of Ari- zons have absolute faith in the in tegrity of he present territorial sd- ministTation. One of tho most gratifying signs of the times is the grow ing opposition tO repudiation in all parts of Arizona. The people have come to see that the many at- tempts to repudiate just obligations had a demoraiizing effect on our securities. This Is a borrowing peo- pie and borrowers are first 10 feel ihe effects Of lack of conf fence. The repudiators did great harm to Arizoua. If they can be kept in the background Arizona Is bound 10 forge to the front. Money is plenti- ful in the east and millions will come this way in the next few years if ex- isting conditions are not disturbed. Every man who is interested in Ari- zona ought 10 discourage attempts to revive old conditions. We are on the upgrade now and we cannot af- ford to stop the train"

LET US AGAIN REJOICE.
1 Grand and Patriotic POEhh of Jaly
 CslsbrahOni is Projected.
The Support and Cooperation Of Our Citizens is Again Asked in the
 Cause of Patriotism.

Tomorrow evening a meeting of citizens of this city is called for at the board of supervisors rooms. It Is for the purpose Of formally or gsnizing to appropriately observe . day that IS dear to all, and especial ly this year IS more patriotic zeal to be shown probably than for many years passed. The Fourth of July IS day around which there will ever be clustered the tender memo ries of strife, which comes home ID this generation all the more vivicly to the many who harbor it's sorrows or its pains. This year, 1t Is the purpose to again show American de- votion for the fight for the right, and renew allegiance to the flag that has again triumphed on land and sea. It is right and proper 10 do so The project to again celebrate should find willing hands and liberal purses to forward the cause, and we trust the responses to the call will b. as earnest and willing as 1t has been.
 Many plans have been suggested Tor this years observance of the day, and from the tone of those who sug- g.st the following would seem 10 be about proper.
 \ miners drilling contest seems to have a decided preference and -eyersl purses for all events should oe put up. or all contests or exer- ciS, this should by every means be considered favorably, for to this ele- ment is there due so much, and to rev"gnIze the miner ID the spirit Of iai ness and liberality the occasion -hould not be permitted to pass by
 he fire department exercises ike W Ise should be iOstered and furth- -I,d, and in this connection il is said
 hat the Flagstaff team can be pre- vailed upon to come and enter the rsc s. With this event there will Jy renewal of the old time fire and .uterest that invariably goes in con- tests of this class, and no doubt will result in many Of Coconino's riflzens joining us in the celebra- tion.
 iu the line of cowboy sports, rop- ing aud tieing and horse races will z we to that feature the same inter
 >ted regard that 1t always enjoys.
 l, is proposed this year to have ut three days celebration, and fsUm the disposition of the people, co doubt is felt but what it can be a 'cuInPlisbed. 4 large attendance should greet the meeting tomorrow night, and the matter considered m uDe tn arrange before confusion re- nh.

Built bVUnited Effort.

How easily great works can be carried out by cooperation is shown in the completion of the vast public hall. in Kansas City. Mo. This is the largest auditorium iu the United States. The building, which is of stone, brick and terra cotta, IS SIX POO feet, and the hall seats 20.00O persons comfortably. Besides the hall, there are in the building and armory, small assembly rooms and a roof garden. The erection of this gigantic st. ucture, which cost $2T9.- OOO, was an enterprise undertaken by the people of Kansas City. nsres were sold at $l each, and they were taken up in small lots, many citi- zens taking only single share, and many more only two or three or the total amount raised ouly $72.00O was in large subscriptions. Now the people of Kansas City have the finest building of the kind on the continent. There isn't a cent of debt on it, and it promises to pay for itself. Even if it doesn't pay for itself directly, it is a splendid sd- vertisement for the city.-Ex.

Governor Murphy, who left last night for Wichits, Kansas, to attend the trans-MississippI congress, will return to the territory within ten days.

He is hopeful that whatever may be recommended by the trans Missis- sippi congress will be favorably ' con- sidered st the next term.

RAILROAD TAXES.

! The Mohsve County Miner has of lste been giving considerable space on the above question and among other things says:
 "Itis a noticeable fact that the muchly roasted and dsfiled Southern Pacific company pays its taxes with. out a murmur, while every other rosd in the territory IS striving to evade payment. We do not believe congress ever passed an act exemptiug a railroad corporation and at the same time granting them enough public lands to build the whole road; and even if they did we do not believe such action was or is constitutional"
 The above sE.nd taken by that pa- per is certainly misleading and un- just. The Santa Fe Pacific is the creature of law enacted in a rail road grant by congress many years ago, and long before a civilized per son occupied any portion of the do- main it now traYerses. With that legal right there were also privileges and customs to be enjoyed, and re- gently the supreme court rendered its opinion in favor of the enjoyment of such laws as were enacted, among which was the question of the non payment of its taxes The scene Is simply shifted from the past 10 the present. and whether that road is to be permitted to evsde the payment of its annual tax, remains alone with congress. Our delegate-elect 10 congress, Colonel Wilson, who is recognized ss an able lawyer on cor porations. has a sacred matter to consider before him and he no doubt will properly present the same be- fore his colleagues at Washington. While it is act right that trsnscOnt- mental roads should eEade the pay ment of their duties in aay channel, iu the face. however, of ~aind sight legislation that time hAs entirely pushed aside ID the mssch of pro- gress and development, any cor poration is certainly to be respected in the rights our law makers of the distant period have enacted, and until such are repealed. With our local roads, or those which have been built full in the lace of the evils of the past or any which may come, the case IS au entirely differ ent one in every respect, and 10 matter how gigantic may be the scope of their service or their in- fuence, we believe the people ap- preciated the conditions to face them, and should willingly scquiesce in the conduct O. the men wbo placed any exemption law on the statute books.
 The Santa Fe Paclhc IS not, Dow ever, riding ripshod over the eoun-i try it traverses and endeAvoring to escape taxation. Recently 1t ten dered Apache county the payment of one-hslf the taxes heretofore an nually collected, and that too in the face of late legal decisions that it was by law exempt from the pay ment of.

The motion for 8 new trial in the case of Henry Wilson, convicted of murder in the second degree in the killing of James C. Davenport, will be argued today. It IS said that the motion will be supported by start ling affidavit concerning 8 statement made by a foolish and malignant Juryman. that he paid no attention 10 the evidence, but that he had con- vieted Wilson on his past record, on general principles and ou the cir cumstsnces that be himself had had trouble with the defendant at Wick enburg.

 Mineral Wealth. Yavapai in Reduction Plants and Ore Production Far ESeeis All
 Arizona Combined.

ANcSCAN oS aA - pSAoSA1k NCLNo- and YsTapai as practical held seems to be the rule in these days ot Arizona mines and mining. So great is the interest manifested and so eager IS capital coming m, inter est naturally awakens to the fact that there must be something Co st- tract. It IS told in one brlef sen- tence, and may be said to be behind he. fact that aside from develop ment work, Ysyspai county today supports more plants to handle its mineral product and they cover a greater area m the mineral domain of the county than IS probably en- joyed by any other distInctIvely mInlng region in the southwest. A fact which the intending investor must of necessity concur 10 IS also shown in the indisputAble argument that in production aud wealth, and shipment of ores YavsPai today, in numbers of lants 10 operation, and valuation of products alone, eXcells that of the entire terrItory com
 bined. This may seem a biased opinion. but in view of the fact that today more stamps are dropping, and more ore is being sent out than ever Tn its history, we believe the claim will warrant the stand. Be low are some of the plants m opera
 iOn or ready to run, and to the gen eral product of them must be asso- ciated the loo ton shelter plant of the famous United Verde that Is running day and night, the 5O-ton cyanide works of Congress, the ZOnia copper shelter, the Prescott sampler and numerous other smaller concerns which m the aggregate represent over s thousand tons of ore which IS daily being handled from the mines of YavaPai county.

 This showing. or the ones the above plants make, IS certainly s convincing one 10 dispel any disre- gard which may prevail over the prominence of this section and its mineral characueristics. Another feature to grasp al ID the line fpro- gress and development, is the scope Of country affected ID the tide of mineral activity. Big Bug is just as active as the Bradshaws. The PlaceritSs and Chaparral vary but little. Stanton and Lynx creek are pounding steadily away, in short, from one end of the county to the other, north, east, south and west, all are producing and fl not are de veloping.
 IF talking with miners and en- deavoriDg to form an estimated value of the proceeds of YsvsPai mines for the current year, which the above plants are expected to re- turn and aside from ore shipments to the outside, Sl0,000,000 is placed as very low and conservative figure. In tonnage of ore handled for shipment outside, and mining ma chinery hauled iu, the s. F. P. S P. has in the past year handled more ID each of those lines than n all oi the years since it was built.
 The past year, ID a nut shell, has simply been marvellous m produc- ton and in capital invested, and the trend of its commercial life backs up it's claim that if mining Is not the basis of its foundation, what other industrial claims has 1t to sus- tain its rank of first in wealth, pop uIatiou and mineral of all Auzona. Nothing but what is below in the ground
