THANKSGIVING, 1901.
Proclamation by the Governor.

In accordance with an honored prece-
dent and custom, the President of the
United States proclaims Thursday, No
vember %, 1901, day OF Thanksgiving
and praise.
While our country mourns for the
great American, the foremost citizen OF
the world, who by divine decree, which
we must not question, has been taken
from us, we submit humbly to the will
of God and rejoice in his love. "Whom
the Lord lpveth He chasteneth." AL
though we may not understand the in
scrutable ways of Providence, we are
taught to believe and feel that the ma
ton, and the people of the world, since
the first great Crucifxion, are made bet
ter and stronger by such sacrifices, and
that we have all been brought nearer to
God with clearer knowledge of our
responsibilities and quickened ability
to perform the duties required of us,
public and private. 1t is our duty to
accept with contrite spirits the awful
lesson, severe and uncalled for as it
seems to us, and profit by its teachings.
We should rejoice and be happy that
the republic, resting upon the imperish-
able principles of the Constitution, is
unshaken, and that he, to whose keep
ing more than all others is now intrust
ed the Nation honor, is "worthy and
we'll qualified" with splendid courage
and ability to direct the affairs of this,
the greatest of the governments of men.
We should rejoice and give thanks for
the grand achievements which have
elevated our nation to the first place,
and won for it the respect and admira-
ton of mankind. We should praise
God that our legislators are aroused to
the necessity of destroying anarchy and
better protecting the highest liberties
of the people. We should render joy
full praise and grateful acknowledgements
to the Giver of all Good for unexampled
national and territorial prosperity; for
bountiful harvests, the great production
of precious metals from our mines, for.
profitable grazing, the rapid devel-
opment of our wonderful natural re-
sources, the remarkable growth of all
commercial interests throughout the
country, and the Divine grace and favor
which enable our citizens to peacefully
pursue their different vocations in
health and happiness.
l therefore recommend and request
the people of Arizona to suspend busi-
ness and observe the day appointed, in
their homes and churches, with appro-
pirate services of thankful praise for
the blessings we have received, and
prayers for the continued care and
saving guidance of the all-wise God
the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, in
whose hands the destinies of nations
and of men are as grains of sand.
In witness whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the Great Seal of the
| (SEAL) Territory to be affixed, at
Phoenix, the Capital, the 11th
day of November, in the year
of Our Lord Nineteen Hun
dred and One.

Governor OF Arizona.

THE MINING INDUSTRY in ARIZONA

"Mining in Arizona is in it's in
fancy" This statement is often
made by old-timers in the course
of conversation, and accurately
sums up the situation. The ex-
preston has become a sterotyped
phrase in connection with the cleo
trical business, but it is far more
true of Arizona mining. The great
camps of Jerome, Bisbee, Globe
and Tombstone are no longer in
fantile, having passed the stage of
adolescence into staid and prosper
GUS maturity; but taken as a whole
the territory of Arizona is but be-
ginning it's career as the treasure
land Of America. Almost every
town and city of Importance owes
its existence to prospectors and
mining men who make it their
headquarters, and it is but a mat
ter of time when their development
work will open up more United
Verdes and Copper Queens.
It requires but one big strike to
cause a dormant camp to become
the center of great activity. The
Orc Grande has made Wickenburg
a town of worldwide fame, and
will make it a city of wealth and
Industry. 1t has been the cause of
renewed exertions on the part of
prospectors, Claims are more
marketable in that district owing
to it's new reputation, and the trade
of Wickenburg is now more keenly
sought by the Phoenix merchant.
Wickenburg is not alone in the
good fortune Of recent discovery.
The progress made about Jerome
has proven that other great mines
will he opened up. Prescott is, as
ever the center of the great Yava-
PAL county mines, and Mohave
county is pushing onward and up
ward. The Mexican border has re-
GENTLY had the call, and the Cana
meas bid fair to eclipse anything in
the world.
The investing public has rushed
nto mines. The investing public
Hid not rush to the Klondike, nor
will they rush epmasse to Arizona.
They were not offered the oppor-
unity to invest in many incorpor-
tied Klondike companies, but they
AN invest in a number Of Arizona
companies, and reap richer har-
rest for their outlay than any but
he few lucky ones from the frozen
lorth. Any Arizona company
With responsible men in charge
ffers a better investment than the
manipulated securities on the east
rn exchanges. Every dollar which
ould be poured into Arizona could
e judiciously and honestly ex-
ended to raise our mining indus
ry from infancy to maturity, and
be growth would pay over and
Fer again the investment Smelt-
rs, railroads, dams for water stor-
ge, power plants and every pro
Fct put on foot by responsible peo-
lie in Arizona is worth far more
Dnsideration than the wildcat
;heme foated by the "hot air art
t" of the east. They are enter
rises which have been Investigate
and can stand scrutiny and
lblicity and the corborration Of
al authorities, who seldom see
alluring falsities advertised by
irs in the eastern papers,-Ari-

Ru..i.,. Demand ON China.

Renewed interest In the Chinese prob
lem is aroused by the report that Rus
STA has proclaimed the annexation Of
Newchwang, which it has long insist
ed on acquiring as an outlet for its
great railroad through Manchuria.
Practically the Russians have exercis-
ed the power of sovereignty over the
place, though the legal fiction CT joint
European management of its customs
as treaty port of China has been kept
up, together with the other fiction Of
Chinese sovereignty. 1t is the. real port
Of Manchuria. Port Arthur, already I'M
der Russian lease and permanent occu-
pancy. being suited rather 10 the pur-
poses of naval station than to those
of commercial outlet.
Quickly following the dispatch re-
garding the annexation of Newchwang
by Russia comes the report of the coun-
demanding Of the orders for the de
parture of the British Bombay cavalry
from China and by the announcement
that the strength of the British troops
at Tien-tsin will be augmented by
1000.
1t Is evident that the Chinese puzzle
is still unsolved, nor is there likely to
be any solution reached in the near fu
ture. 1t is intimated that the govern
ment of the United States would like t,

tribunal of arbitration. 1t is certainly
pertinent case for reference to tina

The court of appeals of the District
Of Columbia has just handed down a
rather interesting decision affecting
business men. In the case of Love ct
al. versus Stidham, reported In the
Washington Law Reporter, 1t held
where a contract by the two members
Of a partnership for sale of a retail
grocery business conducted by them
contained covenant that "the party
of the first part 0he venders) shall
not engage in the retail business for
the period Of five years within one mile
of the store building located as herein
set forth" a violation Of such covenant
by one of the former partners was
violation by both, for which both were
liable; that in order to show a breach
Of the covenant 1t was not required to
| be shown that the defendant had reg
ular store or that he retailed all the ar
ticles kept and retailed from the store
sold the plaintiff, but that the retailing
by the defendant within the prescrib-
ed limits of a material and substantial
part of such articles would constitute
such breach. provided 1t came within
the definition of a retail grocery bust
ness; that the defendant was responsi-
BILE If he served customers within the
prescribed limits, although he might
have no residence, shop or place OF
business within such limits. and that
what constitutes retail grocery bust
ness is largely a matter of fact TO be
determined by jury under proper in
structions by the court as to the mean
ing and construction of the contract

upon to change the law. These schools
have been of much practical benefit to
the people, and IL more funds are need
ed for their maintenance or reasonable
extension 1t ought not to be difficult to
convince congress of the fact.
