In case of political Importance, the

question of the genuineness of certain

taken by surprise by being called upon
to write down a particular word which
occurred in the letters. The slip of
paper was handed back with the word
misspelt in an identically similar fash

TERRITORIAL NEWS.

A small bed of opst has been found
near the Whipple ,Eilitary reserva-
tion in Arizona on lane owned by Gov
ernor Tritle.
There is every'eyidenca that Arizona
is the coming gold producer of the
United States. In every county gold
has been discovered in payl'g quanti-
ties.
In the Chiracahua mountains, a cave
has been discovered that was evidently
at an early day used as dwalling
place. A number of interesting relies
were found in the cave.
A most remarkable discovery is re-
ported in the San PeGro valley, along
the proposed line of the Phoenix &
Eastern railway. 1t is an immense de-
posit of maganese which is rarely
found in a native state, and is usually
obtained by extraction from maganese
bearing ores. ma,
The people of the 81 kl:eye country,
Maricopa county, it il reported, are
going into the dairy business on an ex-
tended scale A big or cam separator
has been purchased and the farmers
buying large numbers of cows, and
will engage in dairying on big scale {.
The Buckeye valley has large acre
age of alfalfa, and being long dis
tance from the railroad the people
have not found the business profitable
for years. They think the diary busi-
ness will be more profitable.
Those who have been expecting
work to be resumed soon in the United
Verde mine at Jerome seem doomed to
disappointment, according to informa-
tion in the Jerome News. The officials
hsve given out that the smelter will
be blown in on January l, 1908, but
others in close touch with the inner
workings of the company say that it
will not be, and the actions OF the
company seem to indicate that the lat
ter supposition is correct. From a
force OF 900 men month ago tn ere
are now but four or five men employed.
The superintendent has told those di-
rectly under him that they should
keep him informed as to their where
abouts, so that they can be sent for
when work is resumed, but in the
meantime advises them to find posi-
tions elsewhere.

Cattle Thieves are Arrested.

Sunday night Sheriff Dell Lewis ar
rived in Tom bstone with Lee Wright
and George Coryeal, charged with
stealing cattle.
The arrest was made at what is
known as the "Old Seven-Up" ranch
in the CEiricahua mountains, on war
rants sworn out by E. J. Jacklin, a cat
tie map.
Not long ago f. j. Jacklin, accom-
panied by Tom Pepper, were rounding
up cattle in the vicinity, when they
found several head of cattle in the pas
ture owned by Wright and Coryeal,
with burned brands. The cattle origi-
nally had been branded 7 d. In addi-
tion to seven or eight head owned by
Jacklin several head belonging to the
t-Bar ranch, with brands burned out,
were also discovered.
Sheriff Lewis left Tombstone on Sat-
urday TO make the arrest and on the
way met Rangers Wheeler and Hol-
land who accompanied the sheriff to
the pasture.
Wright and Coryeal submitted to ar
rest quietly. They say they will give
bonds just as soon as they can have
their hearing.

Against Him.

Jail break. which, in the light OF his
remarks, might leaye his action open
TO comment. "Why shouldn't l leave
the iail?" promptly said Alvord, who
previously had not lain any claim to
being q humOrist. THE Jail was open
and | walked out and stayed out until
now" Alvord stated that he spent all
of his three years time in Mexico and
only visited his old haunts once, when
he came to his old ranch in the valley
and got some 'of his horses. 1.-THE

he effected his capture in Mexico and
delivered him to the officers through
Stiles. or the whereabouts of Bravo
Juan, who escaped Jail here with AL
word, the latter disclaims any knowl-

Why the Mexicans Celebrate Sep
tenber 18th

This celebration, so popular with
Mexican people everywhere. is in hon
or OF the country's freedom from Span
ish rule through the revolution pre-
cipitated by Hidalgo, the greatest
man in Mcxico's list OF patriots and
heroes.
Hidalgo was put TO death at Chi
huahua in lsll for his efforts in oe-
half OF Mexican independence. All
oyer Mexico and above every Mexi-
can consulate in the world flags are
put at half mast on the anniversary
OF his death as a token OF respect OF
! the dead patriot who gave his life to
overthrow the Spanish rule and awak-
cHcd the spirit OF revolt in Mexico
which ultimately terminated in the
overthrow Of royalty and the creation
Of the republic.
As every ybody knows Hidalgo was a
Catholic priest and at the time of his
revolt the church enjoyed equal in
luence with the crown and to conspire
against it meant Ostration, excOmmuni-
cation and death. Hidalgo took his
life in his own hands and preached in
dependence instead of preaching the
gospel. He stirred the hearts Of the
people until they were ready to die in
the cause OF liberty, and led an ill
equipped army of 100, 600 men against
the capital He was met at Las CRU
ces, near Mexico City, and defeated
by the well armed regulars. ThOus-
ands Of his men were killed or cap
tured, and he, with small escort, es-
capped toward the northern frontier
1t WAS his purpose to come to the
United States to solicit aid and to pur-
chase arms, and he had proceeded as
far as chihuahua when one of his own
officers repeated the crime OF Bene-
dict Arnold and betrayed him. The
officer sold out his country for com
mission in the Spanish army and a
sum of money, and was given both.
His chief was captured, tried, and
convicted and shot at chihuahua on
July 30, 1911.
The ecclesiastical court passed sem
tence upon him and before he went to
his doom was publicly rebuked and
loaded with indi%nities by his former
associates in the priesthood. 1t is said
that he met death calmly and prophe
sled that his martyrdrom would be
doubly avenged by the next generation.
His words proved true, for not many
years elapsed until Il ruler chosen by
the people sat in the palace of the
capital, aud not only was the flag of
the foreigners torn and trampled un-
dor foot, but the church was stripped
of nearly all of its vast possessions.
HidalgO is atfectionatcly known to-
day As the father of his country and
it is the belief of liberated people
that his portrait should hang in the
hall of fame beside that OF George
Washington.

Investigation Of Arizona Copper De
pOsltS.

DR.. F. l.. Ransome has just COM
pleted comprehensive report on the
geology and ore deposits of the Globe
copper district, Arizona, for the United
States Geological Survey. The region
is dissected by remarkable network
Of faults, Of various geologic ages, and
the occurrence of the ores is related to
some of the older OF these tissures
The copper ores hitherto mined in the
district have been oXjdized and are
consequently free from sulphur, but
the exploitation of the deeper sulphide
eres is yet in its infancy. The district
has produced in the neigh borhood of
100, 900, ,0O0 pounds of copper. The
greater part of this output has come
from the Old Dominion mine, which
has for years been working large
bodies of oxidized ore found in lime
stone occurring by the side of a strong
fault.
During the present season DR.. Ran
some is 10 continue the investigation
oi the copper deposits of Arizona by
undertaking Il detailed geologic study
of the Bisbee district, in which is the
well-kuown Copper Queen mine.
