eight weeks had suffered with the most

the Pain Balm for few days my wife

there has bsen some question regard
ing the status of a mining claim as
property, some attorneys holding that
1t was personal and others that it was
realty. As this decision was based on
congressional enactment 1t would ap;

A few weeks ago at Cripple Creek,
Judge Seeds decided that producing
mines can legally be assessed at their
pective selling price. The case
was brought up from Teller county,
where the assessor had listed the big
mines at their reputed value. The
court held that the mines (patented)
could be assessed at something near
their value and that the assessor must
to the best of his knowledge ascertain
that value. Some newspapers seem to
think that if this ruling Of the court
stands it will strike blow at the mine
owner who holds possessory title to a
nun Der of mining claims, but in this
they are as usual, mistaken. There
has been no attempt to assess possess
DRY title and there is no provision in
law to warrant the listing of this class
Of property. The companies owning
dividend paying patented mines should
pay tax on them IN some proportion to
their value, just the same as other
forms of property.

Again we are constrained to speak
to the public on the subject of the
electrical developing power of the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado river.
Millions of horsepower of wasted en-.
ergy is driving through that great can

train, ready to be barnessed for the
uses of man. Edison, or some other
great electrical genius should take up
the subject aud press 1t to successful
Issue. Every horsepower developed
can be sold to millmen, mine owners,
railroads, irrigationists and other pow.
er using concerns, the revenue from
which would amount to millions of
dollars yearly. A careful inspection
OF the canyon is only necessary to show
an engineer the feasibility of the
scheme.

The Beers are again busily engaged
In whipping large forces Of British
soldierly aud the English public are
making faces at Lord Kitchener for
allowing the thing to run so loosely.
The Dutch are more than a match for
the British man for man, but sooner
or later If the British public can be
made to stand the tax the Boer must
succumb. Nearly 100000 British sol
diers are now in South Africa, while
there are less than $1,000 Beers in the
field.

Southern Arizona is inst now exper.
fencing railroad building boom that
will open up new and rich mining ter
ritory. The Bisbee and Ell Paso rail
road is now constructed to Fronteras,
half way between Bisbee and Nacosari
aud will be pushed on to Ell Paso as
fast as men and money can do it. The
road will connect with the road from
the Cananea mines and will open up
other territory.

Now that the big turquoise deposits
OF this county are being opened up
would it not be good thing to put in
lapidary at Kingman or at the mines.
There the crude gemstone could be
handled just as well as in the lapidary
IN New York or any other city in the
Union and to better advantage Our
people are slow to take advantage of
such an opening, but although the
workshop might be small it would aid
In the development of the mines, just
the same.

The court of claims has turned down
all claim arising from the raid of the
Apache chief Victoria in 1879 and 1880,
holding that the government was not
res ponsible for the acts of the Indians,
as they were at war with Uncle Sam at
the time. The decision of the court of
claims is simple evasion of the issue,
as in every case of the kind the court
can set up the same fact ia bar of
claims of this nature. At the time of
the Victoria raids the Indians we're in
a state of insurrection against the gov
eminent, but at no time was there a
declaration of war promulgated. The
Indians are wards of the government
and as such wards the governmen t has
full control of their movements and
should they commit overt act against
the settlers of the country 10 which
they live they should be punished for
it and the government should pay the
penalty to the injured party.

We are always pleased to furnish the
Phenix Enterprise with editorial mat
ter, but as a matter of journalistic
courtesy we would also be pleased to
receive proper credit for same. A re
cent article on the subject of railroad
exemption appeared in the MINER,
which the Enterprise appropriated as
its own. II the article was good enough
to use 1t certainly should bs given the
proper credit. Other articles have
been credited to exchange" when they
were clipped boldly from the MINER
and were afterwards credited TO eouth
Arizona papers. This lawlessness on
the part Of our Arizona associates
should be STOPPED.

A large number of small weekly
newspapers throughout Arizona have
been caught on the Empire Knitting
Mills fake and are lameDting the loss
of advertising space, while at the same
time they persist in running the adv.
and deluding the public into the belief
that it is all right. How newspaper
could have been caught with such
poorly baited hook passes the knowl-
edge of old newspaper men.

A Chicago dispatch says: The scar.
city of "white gold" known in chem
istry and commerce as platinum. is
causing concern in the medical, cleo.
trical and Photographic worlds. For
five years the price has steadily risen
toward the prohibitory mark. To-day
it is quoted at higher price than ever
since its discovery, and every pros pect
points to still higher prices. The
alarm caused by this condition is
world vide. A few months ago the
German ReichStag considered a meas
ure prohibiting the use of the precious
metal in photography. Advocates of
the bill claimed that as platinum was
absolutely essential in medicine and
electrical work its use for purposes
which were not necessary should be
stopped. The bill was not passed, but
its introduction caused attention to a
condition which is said by scientists
to be rapidly becoming serious. Plati.
num is quoted at 1858 an ounce, nearly
twice as high as gold. Five years ago
it brought about So. To-day one cleo
trical company is said to use one. fifth
of the output of the world. Since the
flooding of the platinum mines ia the
Trau>vaal, which occurred after the
breaking ont of the Boer war, the
world has bad to rely on Siberia for
its supply of the white metal. This
supply is not increasing, but the de-
mand for the metal is.

Thriving arizona.

The development Of Arizona within
the last ten years makes a splendid
showing in the census for 1900. In all
branches of business there is remark
able percentage of increase, but the
most noticeable feature is the growth
OF the copper mining indus ry. This is
a comparatively new field, and no re-
port was made of it in the census of
1890. Now, however, the capital in
vested in copper mining is more than
7,OOO,OOOS.
While mining is the chief business
in Arizona, at the present time, the
territory is likely to become famous
for its agriculture in the near future.
There is vast area in Arizona that is
susceptible of high development in
agriculture, as was proved by the pre-
historic inhabitants of that section.
A modern plan Of irrigation would
cause a considerable part of the ter.
ritory to become as fruitful as any
other part of the United States. The
admission of Arizona to statehood
would immensely aid its development,
aud it is hoped it will soon be repre-
scented among the star on the national
tiag.-Los Angelic Herald.

Throughout Arizona the people are
getting an oil craze. This is more not.
lea BILE in the south part of the territory,
where every town is expecting gush-
err in its midst without external aid.
The oil ologists of the Yuma basin be-
lieve that there is at this point one of
the greatest oil pools in the world and
when it is pierced Beaumont, Texas,
will be left far in the shade. There is
little don t that the Yuma country is
oil bearing and the same may be said
of the whole Colorado river basin
This view is held by many of the fore
most biologists of the country who are
conversant with the conditions prevail
ing along the river from the Virgin
river to the Gulf of California. Oil in
Arizona would give wonderful i'm.
petus to every class of manufacture
mining and even agriculture. Along
the Colorado river would grow towns
and villages that would rival all other
towns in the territory, built up on an
agricultural basis, made possible by
the use of the water of the Colorado

All trans continental railroad lines
are being merged into one grand com.
bination of interest. While this does
not look favorable for the public that
pays the freight, there is no need of
present worry, as all conditions un.
favorable to the public eventually
right themselves. The increase in cost
of many manufactures was not brought
on by reason of the consultations,
but by the great demands for every
class of goods, therefore it is not just
to point to them to adorn tale of the
future ruin of the shipping class by
consolidation of the great lines of
transportation.
