What a splendid type of ,ireless activity is
the sun as the psalmst describes It issuing
like "a bridegroom from his chamber and
rejoicing like a strong man TO run race"
Every man ought to rise in the morning re.
freshed by slumber and renewed by rest,
eager for the struggle Of the day But how
rarely this is so. Most people rise still un-
refreshed, and dreading the strain of the
days labors. The cause Of this is deficient
vitality and behind this lies deficient supply
Of pure, rich blood and an inadequate
nourishment of the body. There is nothing
that will give n man strength and energy, as
will DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t does this by increasing the quantity and
quality Of the blood supply This nourshes
the nerves, feeds the brain, builds up en-
feebed organs. and gives that sense OF
strength and power which makes the struggle
Of life Joy. The good feeling" which
follows the use of "Golden Medical Dis
covery" is not due to stimulation as 1t con-
tains no alcohol, whisky or other ntoxicant.
1t does not brace up the body, but builds it
up into a condition of sound health.

price of copper is not caused by any law of trade but by shrewd mani puiation.
 'I think fair price for copper that will be as just to the buyer as to the producer is Is cents per pound. At this figure the producer can reap a profit, and the buyer not be forced to suffer any hardship.
 'I expect to see the copper peo- pie get together before long and come to some sort of an agreement that will result in the price per ponnd going up not less than two cents, and possibly more. The pres ent conditions of things are by no means permanent"
 When asked if he thought there was probability of the Cananea railroad being extended to Guay- mas, the copper king said:
The oasis., 1902-03-29

"That is something a long way in the future. 1 am sure it will be done some day, though nobody is working in the matter very hard just now. The road when built will run to the coal fields near Guaymas, and then on to that place. It would mean another line to the orient.n
 One of the most emphatic things Mir. Greene said was as follows:
 "I will not be a candidate for the senate in case Arizona is made a state. This is certain and 1 mean it. 1 have too much business on my hands to give any time to poli- tics. 1 would lose money by it."
 Mir. and Mrs. Greene are at La Cananea for a month. They are stopping in their private car and not in their recently completed res idence as many thought they would. From early morning until late at night Mir. Greene is busy inspecting some part of the working of the big copper property.

manner that would appear equit-
 able to the state and land owners.
 It was held in a certain case that
 lands must be fully proven to have a value as oil lands before they could be taxed as such, and in an- other case that the coal measures developed in mine should be of commercial value and under ordin- ary conditions return profits to the owners in the working of the same, before chasing them under the head of coal lands. This process of rea- soning seems just and equitable to the parties, and we believe that if the same method of taxation pre- vailed here the mining companies would feel more like paying on the listed valuation. In Mohave county mine was listed at a valu- ation of $l0,000, and we believe the
The oasis., 1902-03-29

tax was paid at that rate. The
 mine has never paid a dollar to the
 owners since its discovery in the
 early eigthies. It is in one of the
 most isolated districts in the county
 and cannot be put on a paying
 basis until q railroad is built into the country. In this case the courts
 would most assuredly hold that the valuation was excessive. We be- lieve that all mines should bear theil just proportion of tax, and this can be gotten at in no other way than by a tax on the output. Of course miners will howl about taxing the output of the mines, but why should they not pay it. The cattleman, rancher, and all other producers of the territory have to pay tax on their product, and why not the miners? Just think of the millions of dollars now being taken yearly from the mines of this territory, by foreign mining corpo- rations, upon which they pay not one dollar of tax. Does any fair minded man, whether miner or husbandman, believe that this is just and right, when all other forms of property have to bear the burden of government that protects these foreign corporations? We do not believe there is one in the territory, unless he be crank or a paretic. If these mines were placed on the roll for nominal assessment, and the proceeds of the property had to

President w. (. Greene Talks of the Present and Future of the Great Copper Camp
 of Sonora

Last week Mir. w. c. Greene, president of the Greene Consolid- ated Copper Company and the Ca nanea Consolidated Copper Com pany, arrived at La Cananea from the East, and is devoting his atten- tion to the details oi that colossal enterprise.
 To representative of the Bisbee Review MT. Greene expressed him self quite freely.

Mine owners are compelled to forego the patenting of mining claims for no other reason than the excessive tax levied against the properties as soon as title passes from the government.

In the matter of the assessment of the Copper Queen and other mines of Arizona, the courts have held the high assessments to be void, says the Kingman Miner. Many years ago the matter of taxa tion of mines and oil lands was threshed over in the courts of Penn sylvania and there settled in a

How to Wipe Out Saloons.

Francis Murphy, the great tenn perance orator, says B. w. Cham berlain, tourist bar-keeper, in the Los Angeles Herald, has been visit ing some of the saloons in this city. How much good did it do? Every barkeeper or owner of the saloon he visited would have told him em- phatically, so that everybody could

would like to see every saloon wiped
 out of existence. After the unsuc- cessful experience that has followed
 his teachings, one would think he
 would try some method that would come the nearest to absolute pro-
 hibition. He knows of such a
 method by government control and sale at cost. Dare he advocate it? If he does not, many will think he is in the temperance advocate busi- ness for the profit it produces him. Government control and sale of liquors at cost is the only way the saloon will be abolished. Are the temperance lecturers and agitators honest enough to ask and demand this plan? If they did and it was adopted, their way and my way of a living would be gone.
The oasis., 1902-03-29

hear, had he asked, that were it not for the profit in the saloon business they would not follow it. Wipe out the profit in liquors and not a solitary saloon would exist in Los Angeles or any other city. ' This can be m plis h e d in only one way, by the government pro- duclng and selling at cost all intoxicat- ing liquors. Dare Mir. Murphy advo- cate this practicable and feasible plan?
 The m e ho ds adopted by him for suppre es sing the traffic have proved failures after a hum dred years trial. If he is absolutely honest in his desires a bout temperance, and half way prac- tical, he certainly

 At present we are smelling about 1 400 tons of ore a day, and by the first of May the capacity will be increased to 2,500 tons every twenty-four hours. Our two smelt- CTS are the largest in the world
 From the first of May the com pany will be more prosperous than it has ever been in the past. We have mapped out a plan for oper- atlng this immense property that will certainly result in great bene- lit to all interested in any way in the company Expert mining men will have authority iii the different branches of the plant and mines"
 MT. Greene was then asked if he thought the independent copper companies would unite for the pur- pose of making a stand against the Amalgamated people. He replied.
 As far as know, the independ- ent companies will not attempt to do anything more than to convince the Amalgamated company that copper should be quoted at a good price and kept there without ser ious fluctuations.
 The demand for copper at this tune IS greater than it ever has been before, and the drop is not caused by the supply being greater than the demand. This has no stronger foundation than the imag- lnatlon of some people. The present

WANT A DAY OF REST A,
South Side Grocers Start a Sunday
Closing Movement.
THE PLAN TO COVER ALL THE CITY
Law Both Cited In
Circular.

The South Side Grocers' Club is about
to commence a strong campaign for the
Sunday closing of all grocery stores in
the city. Circulars are being sent to all
the grocers of Minneapolis, appealing to
them on personal grounds, and asking
them to do all they can to see that
there is more strict observance of the
day of rest in all lines of trade.
From a business point reads the cir
cular, I'VE believe that the grocer who
keeps his store open on Sunday is doing
himself a serious injustice, and one from
which he will receive no financial Dement'S
AS you know, the grocer is compelled to
work long hours six days in the week
and he is entitled to one day of rest out
of the seven. 1t is both moral and
state law for the retail grocers to close
on Sunday. The laws of Minnesota have
designated it as illegal for any one to
keep open on Sunday, except drug stores
and undertaking establishments. Those
who violate this law are liable to both
a fine and imprisonment, and may pay
more in fines than their. entire days sales
amount to on Sunday. Over nine-tenths
of the grocers of this city close on Sun
day Are you endeavoring to take advan-
tage of them because they observe the
laws, and secure trade which does not
rightfully belong to you?'
