The ERA predicted last week that the English syndicate that bought the Stratton Independ- ence mine at Cripple Creek had been worked to a finish. The Mining Reporter, of Denver, now charges that Git was a beautiful scheme to work the English public" The Review lays all the bla ne onto w. $. Stratton, the muIti-miIlionaire of Cripple Creek. It is most unfortunate that this thing should happen just at a time when the Eng fish people are preparing for such extensive investments in this country, as it will have tend ency to check their confidence in mining enterprises on thi- side of the water. The trouble with the mine may not be of a really serious nature after all, as it seems that the object of the new management was to take out everything in sight without spending anything for the development of the prop erfV If seems tha in the deen- CT workings the ore body was cut off by a break in the vein, but it may come into bonanza again deeper down.

Lieutenant Boothby, of Silver City, who spent few days at Phoenix on his return from the Philippines, states that the in sanity so prevalent among the American soldiers in the Philip pines is caused by the inferior class of liquor consumed by them. The lieutenant says that no American can drink it in any quantity without becoming in sane, yet he says they cannot be restrained from drinking it. The American canteen should be adopted in that country.

the dignity of becoming states, but Arizona is not soliciting a similar honor.
 Public sentiment in the ter ritory on this subject has been known for some time, and at the recent presidential election the voters had an opportunity to express their feelings at the ballot box. One of the issues in the campaign was the ques- ton whether or not the terri tory wished to ,get into the Union, the republicans favor Ing admission and the demo- crats opposing it. The latter elected their candidate for con gress over his republican op- ponent by a plurality of more than 1000, thus indicating that the feeling of the people in Arizona IS in favor of remain ing territory.
 in view of the fact that Ari- zona is democratic, it is quite safe to say there will be no dis position on the part of the re- puollodns to urge it to cone into the union. At the present time, however, they arc plann- ing ior the admission of Okla noma, which was carried by them In the late election, in or der to increase their majority ln the senate.
 As matter of fact both par ties in this territory declared for statehood Iii thelr pIalIoI 1s, bdt for campaign purposes, W .4 the hope of deceIvnnI l. ;. voters, the republicdll ple. 5 of the territory made the state ment that inasmuch the re- publicans were sure to win iii national affairs, Arizol should elect a republican delegate in order to gain the sympa hy, and secure the good will of the ad- ministration for statehood. The democrats, being also strongly in favor of statehood, could not see it in that light. They be- lieved the territory was en- titled to statehood as a matter of right, and they did not pro pose to sell their franchise for such a vague and uncertain com modity as a little sympathy. And they were right. The fact that Arizona was the only ter ritory to elect a democrat to congress, may prejudice her cause in the eyes of certain re- publican leaders. However, it is to be hoped that the demo- cratic press of the country will treat her fairly, and give the facts as they are.

THE PORT OF ENTRY.

While Skagway has made no claim TOT the capital and land office for Alaska put has used her influence to secure Doth TOT Juneau there is one department Of govern ment this city should ask for. and the in- fluence of Juneau should be united with that of Skagwav to secure it. We refer to the headouarters of the customs district.
 Since the establishment of supports at the principal Alaskan points there Is no reason for the port of entry being at the first port of call. As d matter Of fact II IS not so in most of the districts of the Union. The port which furnishes the most work for the department and has the most employees should be the headquarters If this should control, SkagWav would be clearly entitled to the customs house and the headquarters for the collector Of cus- toms. There is more customs business transacted at Skagway ;han at any other port, and it is accessible.
 If the citizens of this city should move in the matter, and get the support to which they are entitled from Juneau, on account of services rendered, thsre is no reason to doubt but that the customs port of entry for Alaska would be changed from oitka to Skagway.
