Two Heads to Fall.

The terms of all the territorial judg- es have expired with the the exception of Justice Street. No re-appointment have been made as yet, and it is ru- mored that at least two of the present judges may be superseded by new ju- dicial lights.-f Prescott Prospect.
 The above from one of Mir. Murphy's subsidized papers indicates that the governor will recommend that at least two of the present judges be suspend ed. What have Messrs. Street and Doan done to offend his accidency? Evident ly the Prospect speaks by the card [Phoenix Enterprise.
 Our esteemed contemporaries are mis- informed regarding the re-appoint- ment of Judge Doan, who stands high both with the national and territorial administrations. He has the endorse ment of the Arizona bar almost with out exception, and the press and people of the territory generally have like wise petitioned for his re-appointment. It is not likely that President McKin. ley will turn Judge Doan down in the face of his honorable record on the bench for four years and his handso me endorsement.

Fortunss Made in Oil.

The discovery of old man Drake-once a millionaire, but who was supported in his declining years by a pension from the State of Pennsylvania, grant ed in recognition of his services to that commonwealth--ha resulted in the creation of more wealth, in one form or another, than the discovery of gold. It transformed the State of Penusyl- vania from a community of impover- ished buckwheat farmers into the greatest industrial center of America, placed little Johnnie Steel, afterwards known as "Coal Oil Johnnie," in pos session of an income from oil royalties of S7 900 day, and founded the larg- est individual fortune in the world that of John D. Rockefeller. As an il- lustration of its enrichiDg power it may be said that at the time that Johnnie fell heir to something like a half million dollars, through the tragic death of his foster mother, the 
 widow McClintock, who was burned to death while trying to start a fire with
 crude petroleum at her home near Oil City, no dozen men in that part of 1 Pennsylvania combined could qualify
 as his bonded guardian, thus forcing
 the courts to turn over his vast inher- | xl-
 years. Five years afterwards there 1 were hundreds in that vicinity who
 could have qualified for million dol
 lars each But Johnnie did not want
 a guardian then. He had already start
 ed to burn the candle of life from both
 ends at the same time, and coveted no
 restraint in his wild career of dissipa-
 tion.
The Florence tribune., 1901-08-03

Supt. John Brockman of the Common wealth, who appeared before the board of supervisors of Coehise county last week on the matter of little raise of Sl ,000, ,000, furnished some very valua- ble information in regard to his mine which will prove interesting reading. Mir. Brocl5man admitted that the early development of the Commonwealth produced enormously rich ore values, but maintained that the company was now working large bodies of low grade ore, the average value of which was about $7.50 per ton. The mining, mill ing and treatment footed cost of $5 50 per ton. The daily capacity of the mine and mill was l75 tons. Thus it will be noted that with margin of an average of g per ton the company plant is ca pable of producing revenue of 1850 per day. Only in recent years could ore of that grade be worked at a pro- fit in Arizona. With the building of a railroad to the mine the cost of treat ment will be greatly lessened, and thus even better results obtained from ore which only few years ago would have been considered worthless.-lCopper Era.

AN Associated Press dispatch says the irrigation forces will come to Washington next winter reinforced by public Sentiment in their favor far be- yond their most sanguine expectation of three or four moaths ago. 4 con servative estimate of the damage done in the middle west by the late drouth is five hundred million dollars. For weeks the wind blew steadily from off the arid plains across the corn fields of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and other neighboring territory, merciless in its persistency and whitening in its furnace-like heat. It is realized that had large proportion of the arid west been under cultivation through irriga- ton that much of the evil consequences of the heated term would have been averted in country lying adjacent to the arid and semi-arid belt.
