uxDounrEDLy the first work in :rrigatioR which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila River nj san Carlos in Arizona. because this im- pfovement would not only bring under eul- tlvatioh a large area of arid land for the use of white settlers. but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians. who are now in a starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only a strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- tion on large scale, but also an act of mercy and justice.-lLos Angeles Times Editorial, Feb. F. 1901.

Arizona Matters in Washington.

Correspondence of the Tucson Citizen.l WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.--Gover- nor Murphy, of Arizona, has refused to recommend the reappointment of Unit ed States Marshal Griffith and Terri torial Secretary Akers.
 The Governor has informed the De- partment of Justice and the Depart rnent of the Interior, that in his opin- ion the best interests of the public ser vice and the best interests of the Re- publican party, would be subserved by not reappointing Akers and Griffith.
 The Governor has not as yet filed a recommendation for successor to either Griffith or Akers.
 Arizona appointments will not be taken up for perhaps month after the return of the President.
 Vice President Roosevelt has been n correspondence with the First Assis- tant Secretary of the Interior regard ing the Secretaryship of Arizona. He has urged earnestly the appointment of Major McClintock of Phoenix, who was an officer in the Rough Rider reg iment.
 Roosevelt has served notice on all his friends in the Interior Department | that he expects their support in the in- terest of McClintock's appointment, and he has also stated that he intends to make personal request of the Pres ident to the same end.
 A number of influential newspaper men, several Senators, and ex.SeEator Carter of Montana, formerly chairman of the Republican national committee, have Endorsements of McClintock on file either in the White House or the Interior Departm ent.
 IL is believed here that the appoint ment of McClintock is reasonably Ger tain. K National committeeman R. c. Kerens of Missouri, is backing Griffith for re- appointment as marshal, but Kerens i: not as strong with the President as he was four years ago. Senator Elkins, O West Virginia, has an endorsement ot Griffith on file, but it is plainly per. functory and does not count for much
 As far as can be ascertaihed here
 
 there is no one candidate regarded preeminent for Grifith's ylace. At tn, Department of Justice it is said by tn, chiefs of divisions that whoeve Governor Murphy recommends vii get the appointment.

TIE Supreme Court of the United States having decided that we of Arizona have no rights that the Con- stltutiou is bound to respect, it be- hooves us to pull all the stronger for statehood. It Is somewhat humiliat- ing after all these years to find out that we are not even citizens of this great and glorious republic. In fact, we hardly know what we are after reading that decidedly mixed opinion.

NEW COPPER DISCOVERY.
The Marcopa Mountains the New FL
 dorado.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l


 A new and very important copper ledge has been uncovered in the low mountain range ten miles south of Maricopa station. Three Mexicans have been prospecting in that vicinity for many months, and several times during that period have brought to Maricopa sacks of remarkably rich copper ore. In fact the ore was of such character as to attract great at tention by party of mining men who were at the junction en route to Phoe- nix. A few days later one of w. A. Clark's men visited the place and went out to the strike. He remained two days in the hills and returned, but no information could be secured from him. A few days later the same gentleman, accompanied by three other field men of Senator Clark's, appeared and made visit to the property This visit brought results, as the mine was purchased. The four men brought nu- merous samples of very rich copper with them.
 While the gentlemen were more or less reticent as to the property, yet it was ascertained that they had pur- chased the mines for Senator Clark, and thought that they had unearthed one of the largest and richest copper deposits in Arizona. It has been learned for the first time that the Mexican owners had shipped several tons of the high grade ore to El Paso, and the re. turns were surprisingly satisfactory The reason of the secret movements oi i Clark's agents is probably because oi the fact that the mines are on the In. dian reservation, and the Senator hopes through his influence at the national capitol to be able to secure a title tc the property, but in the meantime doe: not want the public taken into his con- fidence. Since the purchase of tht property became known several min ing men have visited the locality, anc one of this number, man of higt standing in his profession, informed the Gazette that in his opinion Senate oi Clark had unearthed another Jeromt at the base of the Maricopa mountains srba Oantlaua caid ir, all of hie axpar fence in the mining camps of Arizona and Montana, he never had seen such { prospect. The vein is wide and crop up three feet above the surface for tw, miles, and copper glance is found ever. where in the lead. It would be pass ing strange if this many times million aire, man that has more money thar the Turkish government at his com mand, should pick np for few thou sand dollars another mining bonanzI at the threshold of Arizona's capita city. It has often been said that l ] never rains but it pours." Uni is peculiarly true in it's application t capital. The man with unboundet wealth finds it pouring in on him iron all quarters, while thousands of deserv ing men march in the ranks of povert, during their useful lives. There seem to be no question about the grea value of the mine referred to- the onl, question now is the fact of its being ol an Indian reservation. If Senate Clark can secure the release of tn property referred to he will begin ex tensive developments at once, whic will mean much for Phoenix and Ari zona territory in general.

A Banner Year for Mining.
lFrom the Western Mining world.]

lFrom the Western Mining Worldl
 This will undou6ted be banner year for mining. The great accumula- tion of ready cash in The money centers now looking for investment is some thing startling. All the bonds, war rants and other securities offered are greatly sought after at astonishingly low rates of interest. The railroads, owing to excessive high selling prices, do not pay to exceed three per cent. and great majority of them much less. Thus it will be seen that other outlets must be found. Mining seems to be the only channel left to invest in. Those who few years ago would throw up their hands In holy horror at the mere mention of investing in min ing and stocks, evidently have changed their minds, and have come to the con- clusion that mining offers better re- turns to-day thgn any other invest ment in which money can be placed.

A New Law Firm.
From the Tucson Citizen.l

lfrOH thc tucson NltizeH,i
 The Hon. Marcus Aurelius Smith and the Hon. Eugene Semmes Ives have formed law partnership and will practice in Tucson. The partnership was formed early this week. The new firm will have offices on Stone avenue, adjoining the office of Breathitt & Manning.
 It is freely predicted that Smith & Ives will make great team. Every one, of course, knows Mark Smith. Mir. Ives is Virginian by birth, practiced law in New York, served in the New York State Senate with conspicuous ability and moved to Arizona five or six years ago, and has resided most of the time at Yuma. He was President of the Council of the last Territorial legislature, and was regarded as, per- haps, the ablest man who ever served in that body. The moval of Mir. Ives to Tucson will be distinct acquisition to the bar of the city, on which it has our sincere congatulation.

Agent EIwood Hadley, in a letter t,

Agent Elwood Hadley, in letter to Native American, denies that Inspect or Graves had anything to do with the construction of the ditch on the Pima reservation alluded to in the TRIBUNE last week. Mir. Hsdley says: 'The inception of the work originated with the Indians aud encouraged by the agent, who got the means authorized to pay them, it being part of the thir- ty thousand dollars appropriated by congress for emergency to starving In- diane on this reservation. The ditch is experimental in developing surplus water, to 8 reasonable extent so far successful, but will require the dry season to determine its availability"

The women singers closed their public career in Phoenix last Saturday night. This was caused by a recently enacted city ordinance, excluding women from all places where liquor is sold. Ia the Palace saloon the last song was the "Holy City"; at the Anheuser, ''I'm Old and Only in the Way, and the Capital, Il Don't Care if I Never Come Back. It is said that male singers are wanted to take the place of the departed sirens.-[uazette.

YAYAPAl COUNTS FIGHT.
The United Verde Mine Raised to 6,0o0,-
 900 Yesterday.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l

From the Phoenix Gazette
 The board of supervisors of Yevapai county Tuesday raised the assessment of the United Verde mine at Jerome from $600, ,000, the assessment of the past year, to st, 900, 900 under the law enacted by the last legislature empow- ering boards of supervisors to reg uiate all mining Assessments. This big raise will bring the Assessment roll of Yav- apai county up to nearly SIG, ,000, 900 and put her alongside of her big sister, Maricopa county.
 Senator Clark will contest the con stitutionality of this law in the su- preme court of the United States, but should the law prove valid, which near ly all Arizona attorneys say it will, the Bisbee, Globe and Clifton mines will all be elevated in proportion. The law was enacted in retaliation for the de- feat of the bullion tax bill, and if it stands, it will prove more profitable law to the counties of Arizona than would the tax on bullion. This law passed as u rider on an innocent look ing bill by Judge Andrews, and if it stands the test of the courts, it will be a feather in the cap of the councilman from Yavapai county. The validity oi this law means that the tax roll o1 Arizona will be raised from thirty mil | lion, to one hundred million dollars and the tax levy will be greatly re dueed.
