The press of Arizona has done
more to bring about the present
prosperous conditions than all
other salient conditions com
b1ned. It has advertised it's re-
sources, thus encouraging capi
tai to invest in the same and
families to come and establish
homes among us. It has been
the advocate of all the Civiliz-
ing institutions which have
been anchored in the territory.
It has led the way for every
movement looking to the gen
eral welfare, but this has been
at much cost. In Tucson alone
nine daily and ten weekly news
papers have come and gone,
wrecked for want of support,
in every instance the publisher
ruined financially, some of them
broken down physically. The
pioneer press of Arizona has
done a great work, but at a
great sacrifice. No institution
should receive more liberal pub
lie encouragement; for the press
is the most beneficient factor in
the up-building of any commun-
ing, especially when under the
leadership of clean, fearless and
progressive management, actu-
ated with good motives and sin
cere purposes for the public
welfare. Star.

The recent discovery of a gil
gantlc ledge of gold and copper
ore in the mountains eighteen
miles north of Aqua Caliente,
in which Bob Anderson, Will
Despair, Harry McPhaul
and others are interested, is at
tracing a great deal of atten-
tion. Scores of prospectors
are going to the district and
hundreds of claims have already
been located. Assays from the
outcropings show a value of $40
to the ton, which is high enough
to admit the shipment of ore at
a good profit as the find is only

and eighteen miles from the

The Colorado.

The Colorado river is formed
by the union of the Green and
Grand rivers, says the Yuma
Sentinel. The former rises in
Wyoming near Fremont's Peak,
and running southerly joins the
latter in Utah. The Grand
river rises near Longs Peak IN
Colorado and, running IN a
southwesterly direction, meets
the Green as stated. From
their iuncture the stream takes
the name of the Colorado and
following generally southerly
course empties in the Cult OF
California. The entire length
including tributaries is over
1900 miles. It flows during the
low water period at a rate not
exceeding four miles per hour,
although, of course. the speed
is very much greater when the
river is high. Among its prln-
cipal feeders are the Rio San
Juan, the olorado-Chiquito,
the Bill Williams Fork and the
Gila.
The Colorado constitutes the
entire western boundaries of
Yuma county, it's total length
between the Sonora line and
Bill Williams Fork, the latter
forming its northern boundary,
separating, as it does, the
counties of Yuma and Mohave,
being about 235 miles. 1t is

The Copper, Zinc and Lea(

The Copper, Zinc and Lead
Review says: 'There is at last
a prospect that zinc shingles
are to be manufactured in this
country in large quantities. The
Lanyon Zinc company are to
erect large works at lola, Kan
sas, for that and other forms of
zinc plate. In Europe zinc has
been largely used for roofing
purposes, and there is no reason
why it should not be so used
here. It is cheaper than terne,
does not rust and is in many
respects better. Once the at
tention of builders is directed
to it, with the knowledge that
it can be secured in satisfac-
tory amounts and on time, there
is little doubt but that they will
be eager and large purchasers.
And hence, new market will
thus be made for this now popu-
lar but once despised metal.

The chairman of the republi-
can national committee announ-
ces that the campaign for the
denomination and election of
Mckinley is to be fought upon
the issue of prosperity of the
workingmen and the retention
of the Philippines. Prosperity
of workingmen is to be meas
ured not by the amount OF
money earned as wages in dol
lars and cents, but by the ex-
tent to which these earnings
pay the cost of living. The
Hanna Mckinley party has
done nothing to add dollar to
the earning OF labor; but it has
created and sustains the indus
trial combination which put up
the price OF everything the
workingman has to buy. The
issue of prosperity of the work
ingman is a dangerous one for
the republican party to assume.

Arizona Horses in Demand.

Since the announcement a few

to be the agent of England ar
rived in Prescott for the pur-
pose of buying 1000 head OF
Arizona range horses for caval-
rv service in South Africa, re-
ports come from the southern
part of the territory that agents
have been at work there. One
stranger circulated among cat

prices and endurance of Arizona
horses and he left the impress
sion that he would return and
close several big deals for ami
