wages and most of them are charac- terized by the western spirit of liber- ality in providing thier daily wants. Bisbee is the center of the best miner al section in the southwest and it will always attract those who are seeking investments in either southern Arizona or Sonora, bcause of its past accom- plishments and the great mines that are surrounding the place. Other towns in the vicinity will have their growth and their prosperity will add to our importance, as Bisbee will re- main the metropolis of southern Ari' zona. h amount of commercial busi- ness transacted it is perhaps now sec ond to no point between Fl Paso and Los Angeles.
 The presence of such a city in such a locality is evidence of not only our central trade position, but of the in domitable energy of our citizens, who have been baked at no obstacle in the past, which is a guarantee that no dis couraging conditions will tame their energy in the future.

BIsBEE MOVING AHEAD.

There is no sign of any halt in the growth of Bisbee. Improvements are going right along. New houses are going up in all quarters of the city. There never was a more general feel ing of confidence among our citizens. The proposed transfer of smelting op- erations by the Copper Queen from Bisbee to Douglas will in no way ef- feet Bisbee, so far as population and business is concerned. Of course, if the typographical conditions surround ing Bisbee had been favorable and a never failing water supply could have been secured here this city would have doubled it's population during the next year or two and Douglas would never have been more than a small railroad station. However, the mines which must supply the great reduction works at Douglas are in the vicinity of Bisbee The miners must live here not only those employed by the Copper Queen, but those who will supply the reduction works of the Calumet and Arizona company. also located al Douglas. Thre are other companies now operating in this vicinity, devel oping properties which give most fat
 tering encouragement. promising to be come large producers. Among these properties are the South Bisbee, the Bisbee West, the Copper Glance. etc
 There is no better support for a cit. or town than miners; they earn zoe.

DEVELOPMENT.

Ths increasing public interest in Alaska as a mining state warrants the bereau of statistics at Washington in undertaking a monthly summary of it's commercial conditions, opportuni- ties, prospects, routes of travel, etc, which will be issued regularly in the future. In the first summary, which has just been issued by the bureau, worth noting. Heretofore, there have been no official statistics of our com merce with Alaskan ports, and this information will interest many per sons.
 It appears that Alaska. for which the United States paid Russia S7.200,- 900 in 1867 has supplied furs. fish and gold amounting to about $150, ,000, 900 in value. about equally divided between these three items: that the investment of capial from the United States in Alaska is probably 25,000,000, with a large additional sum invested in transportation to that territory; and that the annual shipments of merchan- disc to Alaska now aggregate more than s12,000, 900, and have aggregated since the purchase nearly or quite $1O0- 000, 900. Meantime the population has grown from an estimated 30.O00 at the date of purchase to 32,052 in 1890 63, ,592 in 1900, and an estomated 75,000 at the present time.
 The number of fur sales taken on the Pribilof Islands from 1870 to 1901 was 2,1S7,317, of an estimated value of s35 ,000O 900. The fur seal industry which has declined in the last few years, was succeeded by the fishing in dustry, Alaska now supplying about one-half of the salmon of the country. The value of the salmon pack in Alas ka last year is estimated at about ST. 000, 900, and the total value of the fish taken in Alaska since the purchase about s5,000,O00; while the value of gold and silver mined sinnce the pur- chase is also about s50,000,000.
 While the gold and silver mined in Alaska has not been of greater value than the fish product, and but s15.00O,- 900 more than the seal product, the present activity of the mining industry and the richness of the mines indicate that mining will soon take precedence in importance over all other industries.

CLEVELAND AND BRYAN
SSe SSN HARMONY.

No one expected MT. Bryan to re main silent after Mir. Cleveland's har mony speech. There may be a possibil ity of democratic harmony, but there is none for political agreement be twen these two men. After sufficient time for MT. Bryan to digest thorough. ly the remarks of the ex-President, he issued a statement at his home in Lincoln, which was given to the press. Following are few extracts from the statement which will leave no doubt as to the kind of harmony prevailing between these two ex-presidential can didates:
 The banquet given on the evening of June 19, by the Tilden club, of New York was advertised as a harmony meeting but it turned out to be what might have been expected of such a gathering. an ovation to the chief guest, former democrat. Grover Cleve- land. There can be no such thing as
 
 those who believe in democratic prin- ciples, and he is frank enough to say so.
 He spoke of his retirement from political activity and said: Perhaps there are those who would define my position as one of banishment instead of retirement. Against this l shall not enter a protest. It is sufficient for me in either case that I have fol- lowed, on the matters of difference within our party. the teachings and counsel of the great democrat in whose name party peace and harmony are tonight invoked. No confession of party sin, therefore, should be expec- ted of me. I have none to make, nor do I crave political dissolution,
 He not only boasted of his course but put his brand upon those who sat at meat wihC hlm. Having asserted that his democratic faith impelled him to leave the party tor resulted in his banishment,) he describes the banquet CTS as sharing that fate.
 He is not only defiant, but he in sists that party success can only be SC cured by an open and avowed reurn of his ideas. Harmony is to be. secured not by the suppression of differences. but by the elimination of those who differ from him
 Having debauched his party, he was offended by it's e.Iort to reform, and gave comfort to the enemy. Virginius killed his daughter to save her chasti- ty; Cleveland stabbed his party to prevent I.s return to the paths of vir- tue.
 And now, still gloating over his political crimes, he invites the party to return to him and apologize for the contempt which it has xpressed for him. Will it? Not until the principles of Jefferson are forgotten and the works of Jackson ease to inspire"
