ARIZONA MINES.

Copper mining is now more profit
aole than gold mining, and the great
advance in the price of copper Which.
has taken place during the last year is
likely to be pei manent, because it was
not brought about BY speculationss but
it is due to an increased demand for
the metal which came in with the ap-
plica,ion electricity to so many of
the daily uses of life, and since the
use cf that element is to be permanent
and the ends to which it may be ap-
piled are likely to be greatly increased
the chances are all in favor Of the
price of copper becoming still higher,
rather than lower.
The mountains in Arizona are full
of indications of copper, and the pros
pectors of this territory could rot
turn their attention in a more promis-
ing direction than to undertake q
systematic search for this metal.
Twenty years ago, when the noun
tains were full of men prospecting for
silver, many promising copper leads
were found. and though the most Of
them would not pay for working at
the prices then prevailing, it is prob
able that great many of them could
be made good properties at the price
which the metal now commands.
It will be worth while for the
miners of this territory to give their
attention to this matter. There is
money in copper, and the best feature
of the situation is the fact that it is a
coming metal.-Gazette,

CAPT. GEO. D. OHRIsTY.

1t gives us pleasure to announce
that Captain George d. Christy, of
Phoenix, will be a candidate before
the coming republican territorial con.
3vention, for the nomination of dele
gate tc congress, says the Arizonian.
We had heard Captain Christy's name
mentioned in this connection earlier
in the year, and was then of the
opinion that he was the strongest and
most available man for the place.
Should he be nominated the republi- :
cans Of Arizona will have a standard
bearer of whom they may justly feel
proud. Capt. Ohristy commanded
Company A, First Territorial Regi-
ment, Col. M. Fl. McCord, and was
deservedly popular with the whole
regiment. At the republican terri
torial convention held in Prescott two
years ago Capt. Christy made the
nominating speech which placed the
name sf A. o. Brodie before that
body. His speech on that occasion
placed him in the first rank of orators
os this territory. shou Id the eonven-
vention5be so wise as to place him in
nomination, the people of Arizona
will hear him during the present cam
paign. Capt. ohristy will be elected
and his career in congress will DO as
creditable to himself and the people
whom he represents, as was his record
as soldier Gazette.

Is part OF the National records at Wash
ington But its generous offer along that
line, which meant $780, 900, 900 additional
each year to the farmers of America. was
vitiated by the stupidity or duplicity OF
eX-Secretary Olney and Clevelands agri-
cultural secretary, Sterling p. Morton.
The suggestion of combination OF the
Russian and American wheat growers was
the result Of careful inquiry into the
wheat producing conditions OF the world
by M, Dewitt, the minister OF finance OF
Russia In his investigations he found
that the decline in price was not the re-
suit of increased acreage. as had been
claimed by Liverpool dealers, but the re-
suit of adverse combination. England be-
ing a non-producer OF wheat and an eX
porter Of manufactured goods, has kept
the price of wheat down in order to pre-
serve the low wage scale OF its factory
operatives This has operated to the Sc
rious disadvantage OF the United States,
Russia and the Argentine Republic.
In order to refute the argument of price
being fxcd by the law OF supply and de-
mand, NJ. Dewitt showed that the increase
in the worlds population more than Off
set the new territory called into use, thus
leaving the elehss.lss of production and
consumption normal, but notwithstanding
that the price continued to decline until
it reached a figure where the element
OF profit was entirely eliminated.
