The New Gold Placers.

Frank Putnam, formerly connected with the Copper Queen store, left this morning for the new gold diggings in Lower California.
 So far no contradictory reports have been received of the richness of the lately discovered gold placers at Santa Clara. On the other hand, ali the lat. est reports confirm the earlier news of their richness, and that, although they are being worked under the most un- favorable conditions, large quantities of gold are being taken ont.
 On May % the steamer St. Depis ar rived at San Diego from Ensenada and brought news conirmatory of the rich ness of the placers. A special to the San Diego Union from Ensenada, on the same date, says: "The Santa arbara arrived at San Quintin this afternoon. She brings the report that about 300 miners are at the camp. F. Ybarra is said to have banned out sixty ounces since the last report of fifty-two ounces. An official who arrived on the Santa Barbara states that he saw miners at work taking cut from three penny weights to two ounces. At present the known extent of the new placers is twelve miles long by two wid.. Dis. coveries are reported ful ther south, and parties have come in from there and bought $3O0 in gold worth of goods and returned. Water is selling at $3 per carga. There are no dry washers in camp, nearly all the present output be- ing by panning."

IF THE organization of trusts and other combinations of manufacturing interests has done no other good it has at least con- .tributed several millions of dollars to the public treasury. Every contract, mortgage, bond. certificate of stock, power of attorney and agreement must bear an internal reve- nue stamp. bond requires cents on Si0j a certificate of stock, cents $100; an agree ment to sell, cent on $lO0; a conveyance 50 cents for $500; 6 mortgage, 20 cents for S5OC, and so on, and the stamps upon the trans- . fers, the contracts and the articles of incor- poration of some of the big combinations amount to many thousands of dollars. At the internal revenue bureau they tell of one that carried $65,7o0. and another, 57,2G0. The down town internal revenue office in New York has sold $i,ll4,2J0 worth of $50 stamps alone since the first of January, and most of them have been used on documents relating to the organization of trusts. The proceeds of $50 stamps sold this year win exceed S3,O0O0O0. Stamps of that denomina- . tion are required only for very large trans 2 actions.

From South Blsbee.

The ore which was struck in tile shat of the South Bisbee com pany last week at the depth of 6S0 feet still continues in the shaft and is increasing in quan- tity. The ore is of dark color, contains more or less sulphide and will assay high in copper. The strike has been expected for some time as every indica- tion in the shaft pointed to the near ness of an ore body.
 The depth of the shaft is now rapidly nearing the 700 foot level, from which point tte management expect to start the drifts under the Della Mas, to open up the orebodies already known to exist there, while other drifts will also be started to explore the ground to the north and east. At present the company are undecided about sinking the shaft beyond the 700-loot level, but may con- tinue to do SO, as we'll as to start the varI. ous drifts.
 President Fairchild and other mem- bers of company who are now here will probably determine just what course will be pursued before leaving. The sale of sto1k still continues, although the price las been raised to twenty-five cents. During the past month Mir. Johnston has disposed of several thous- an al, fn nd ,i ,i Bisbee, which shows that our people have an abiding faith in the enterprise and that they intimately have one of the best paying properties in southern Arizona. The following paragraph, which is taken from the Los Angeles Mining Review, explains the situation ill nutshell and is correct:
 "The South Bisbee copper mines are, in many respects, the finest copper properties in Arizona. They comprise nearly 800 acres of land in a compact body, the Arizona and South Eastern railroad traversing their ground, which will enable them to bring car and smelt- CT together. Besides these advantages of extent and situation, the ore is self. fiuxing, and in addition to it's being high in copper, carries enough gold and silver to pay all operating expenses. It is hardly too much to say that the world might be hunted over and not find il large copper property possessing within Its own confines the advantages these properties have"

THE Arizona prison farm is laying idle. There are also about two hundred idle pris- oners penned up in the penitentiary, every one of whom would like to be allowed the privilege of working on the prison farm. These prisoners are fed in idleness at the expense of the tax payers. The idle prison- CTS and Idle prison farm should be brought together and made wealth producing. What Is the matter with the administration, that 1t compels the law abiding, hard-working, peaceful citizens to bear the burdens of feeding the law-breaker? It would seem that this enforced idleness of prisoners is placing premium on disobedience to the laws of the territory.

COPY of the famous charter that was gwen to the colony of Connecticut by King Charles in 1882. the original of which was concealed in the historic Charter OaS, has been admitted as evidence in Cleveland Ohio, in a pending case involving title to property on the lake front. says The New York Evening Post. This charter, it will be remembered. granted to the Connecticut colony the unexplored territory west of the western boundary of Penhsslvauia, and hence its pertinency in the Cleveland case. That pertinency was denied, however, by the attorneys for the railroads which are par ties to the suit. They insisted that land then under the waters of Lake Erie could not have been included in the property attempt cd to be conveyed, and that it would be just us pertinent to inquire into the French claims to the disputed territory. One of the attorneys sarcasticaliy remarked that if this
 line of procedure were to bo followed it might be necessary later for the court to de. termine the legitimacy of tho English soy- ereigns. But despite all these objections, Judge Hammond admitted King Charles's pLartcr

WHILE THE ORE does not care who does or does not like it's editorial expressions,
 and while it proposes in the future, as 1t has in the past, to express it's senti- ments upon all issues, whether local, county, territorial or national, it feels a delicacy in commenting upon the local conditions and affairs of the county of Cochise, from the fact. that some who have it In their power to enforce laws, and to endeavor to carry into execution with some degree of decency and pro- priety, the demands of the statutes of the territory of Arizona, are the very ones who flagrantly and oatrsgeously violate and defy every intention of the law, and they do it without any regard to protests on the part of those who are law-respecting and law-abiding citizens
 This is plain talk, but THE ORB proposes to be plain and outspoken. It does not propose to wade into language of senti- inent, but that every school boy and girl may read and fully comprehend. The management of some Of the county off, ces in this county is disgrace to any county in the realms of civilization. To attempt to enumerate the many def ciencies and outrageous indulgencies on the part of the incumbents of office who have held sway in this county for the past six or eight years would fill good sized volumn. AS was stated in the be ginning of this article, TIE ORB feels a delicacy in commenting upon them, but it must come sooner or later. The tax payers are growing tired of the condi. tion of affairs, and THE ORB will hereaf- ter use it's editorial columns to bring about a decided change. The present grand jury, which was convened thie morning in Tombstone, will undoubt- edly investigate the various county off cers, and their investigation should be searching and complete. The affairs of some of the offices will hadly bear the light of investigation and we sincerely hope that the sitting grand jury will turn theirA Ray searchlight on with full force. The high handed manner in which some of the justice of the peace run their courts should be stopped. At the last quarterly meeting of the board of supervisors bill was presented by the Wilcox justice that was enormous,
 and, to say the least, was highway rob
 bery. It is such things as these that make the tax rate of this county out of all proportion to what it should be, and it ls time halt should be made. The pres ent grand jury is composed of represent. ative men and tax payers, and it is only necessary that their attention be called to these official peculations in order to enlist their aid in roofing them out.

THE facts which have come to the light since Dreyfus was sentenced to deportation, and the ordering of re-hearing of the charges against him and for which he was sentenced, is only another of many instances where, truth crushed to earth will rise again, full panoplied to crush those who gave the crushing blow. No wrong can long remain unpunished, for revenge will assert its loyalty to right and truth. It may be long in coming, but then it comes with a more certain and destroying power. Drey- fus will be acquitted and then there will fol- low punishment for perjury and forgery and subordiuation of perjury.

THE supreme court of Nevada has decided that the Nevada law requiring the locator of a mine, in order to hold his claim, to sink discovery shaft, or make cut of certain depth, within % days after location, is not in conflict with the act of congress which gives the locator one year in which to do the slO0 worth of labor prescribed by congress as a condition to holding the claim. Non-com- pliance with the miners rules, or with the state or federal laws regarding locations, works forfeiture of the claim, whether such rules or laws so provide or not.

The y''orld's CoHpcr.

The acltve demand for copper prop critics in the year 1898 would indicate one of TWO tllngs, either an increased demand for copper or q decrease O. the copper production.
 There has undoubtedly been great creased demand because of the great success in the motive power of the world. Electricity and its manifold uses will continue 10 increase the de- mand. h 1898 the mines of Ihe United States produced t.b ,CC0,0CO pounds of copper, or GO per cent Of ali tie oatput of the world. The year 1899 will prob ably produce GO0,000,000 pounds of copper. Enormous as this yield seems apparently to be, the great copper com bine, or copper trust, has control of 75,OOO,O00 pounds of this product, or about llve-sixths. The capitalization of this great copper trust is $5OO, ,0O0, ,000. The trust is controlled in a la~ge meas. ure by the Rothschilds and by the same men who control the Standard Oil company. The ttuet expects to protect the priceao of copper both in America and Europe, and contemplates making profit for the trust of 6 cents per pound upon the annual production. It is barely possible to do this at the rres- ent high price of copper. When, how ever, It is taken into consideration that the average selling price of copper for twelve years past has been under 12 cents per pound, it would seem that the trust has undertaken big task when 1t promises profit of 6 cents pound.
 The demand of the consumers for cheaper copper will bring about greater developments of copper properties, and the practice of economy in the cost of production. So that it is not probable that the enormous profit of cents per pound could be permanently main tained.
 The effect, however, upon the miner and upon mining countries is already apparent. Utah, northern California, Montana and Arizona, are being eagerly prospected for new copper, and the re- suit will, undoub, edly, be the opening markets of the world of immense new copper deposits, all of which is bound to innure to the benefit of the great west. Ia. -.
 Science has entered the field and is endeavoring to discover reliable sub stitute for copper for electrical pur- poses. It is claimed that a new com position has already been found that will, Ill many instances take the place of copper. It is claimed that the new material answers all the actual working requirements of electrical engineers. If this be true, it would have the effect of lowering the present price of copper.
 Copper shareholders, however, will continue to be optimistic, until this new composition has unquestionably demonstrated its ability to take the place of copper.-Denver Times.

A SOUTHERN, VIEW.

Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, in recent speech in Chi- cago, give his views upon the question of expansion, which are clear cut, and from all we can learn, from whatsoever source, we believe that Mir. Howell not only voices the sentiments of the south but of the people of the whole country, with but few exceptions, concerning this very important question. He said ::
 "Phe south is in favor of holding Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, under the protection of the American flag The idea of the flag being taken down after we have once put it up is prepos- terous. It was no idle fancy that led Dewey into Manila bay, nor fancy that held him there after his first work was done. He realized that he had gained possession of one of the keys to the sit uation, and he kept that key for the nation. It Dewey had not believed sln- cerely that the flag should stay over the Philippines, he would have said so. He has not made such an utterance, and l guess the American people can trust to his judgment and not be fearful of re- suits! What we are to do after the in surrectionis ended is another matter, something that the whole people of the country will have to pass upon, and they will settle it. If the American people desire annexation, they are going to say so when the time comes. But believe they are going to give the Cuban and the Fiji pino every chance in the world to establish a home government before annexation is serio usly considered; that American trade should expand to these sections; that the American flag should stand there in preference to any foreign flag; that if self-government proves to be afailure theAmerican people shall de- eide what is to come next is right, and in this the south is for expansion and for sustaining the American policy every where. We have not come to the an. nexation or territory question yet. We have the islands, with an insurrection, on our hands and order to restore. While that work is being done 1t is our place to stand with the government for what it represents-that is Americanism, and that kind of Americanism the south ap- proves of. Afterwards we are big enough to discuss and debate with our
 selves what we wish to do and to shape out policy which will be in harmony not only with our traditions, but the best of modern thought and government. We have nothing to be afraid of because we are merciful in our judgments. and our flag carries with it freedom to every man who gets under it's folds. The American flag means freedom, and if we trust toit and that proposition the other questions will be quickly disposed of when they arise." 4M ...-.. ....

Even ii the returns show the minimum estimate to be nearer correct, the Klondike is becoming an important factor as a gold producer.

Ig, Congress will cede to the Territory of Arizona. 100000 acres of arid land, the territory will have but little difficulty in se- curing the capital for its reclaimation. It matters not what the experience of those states has been to which were ceded large areas of arid lands for reclaimation. Ari- zono can and will accomplish the reclsima- ton of the lands, if provision is incorpor- ated in the grant allowing the lands to be located favorably to natural reservoir sites. Give Arizona the lands, she will reclaim them all right, and within reasonably short period of time.

TAXING FRANCHISES.

Tie Kew York Legislature has passed and the governor has signed an amended bill providing tax for franchises granted cor porations The first bil! on the subject was found to bo fatally ccteotiye and an extra session was called to rectify it,
 lhcrc was a tine, says en exchange. when street franchises were given ta traction companies as a measure of publi" in'p0r- taacc ard for the purpose of providing prop CT communication when profits were not i- pectei,. The sumo way with private gas and water companies. In the c0.tfsc C! tire. as tha towns and cities grey, rna " hen the companies that had been given free grRot to uso the streets wore making handsome profits and spcculating in stocks, and when the expenses of city governments increased by the natural demands, it began to be con- sidered right and proper that the use of the streets should be paid for. In Philadelphia, for instance. the company which uses the streets for its car business was compelled to pave the thoroughfares it used, and today Philadelphia has more miles of fine street paving than any city in the country,
 The use of streets in the big cities by car, gas and water companies is now profitable; 1; hence the natural demand that such compa- nies shall pay for the privileges granted. There is no attempt in the New York law to ercroach upon or harass any corporations, but simply to compel them to pay proper rental for franchises that have become valu- able. The old era has gone, in New York at least, when concerns that used the streets of the cities were favored with free gifts and looked upon as philanthropic organizations.

THE population of Arizona is increasing very rapidly and will approach 95,00O at the coming census without doubt large in crease will be apparent in Yavapai. probably double the population of ten years ago Maricopa county will more than double her population of ten years ago, as Phoenix now has fifty per cent more population than the whole county in 1890; GiIa county will pro- duce large increase, probably more than four times her last census; Cochise, in the single town of Bisbee, now has nearly the population of the whole county in 1SSO and the town of Pearce nearly as many more Pima has been making large gains, as has Mohave county. In fact every county in the territory will show an important growth and that growth has almost all of it been within the past five years. In fact the territory has just begun to grow in population, and within the next five years we can reasonably expect Arizona to double her present figure, espe- cially if we sh ould become a state.
