At the lower end of Rock island, in the
Mississippi, was built in 1916 TORT
which was named after Gen. Armstrong
then secretary of war. The eneroach-
ments of the Indians and the need oil
rallying place for the white settlers on
the banks of the Mississippi made the
Sc-t a necessity. 1t was built OF heWn
logs and was strong enough TO resist an!
attempt of the Indians to capture H.
Happily there never arose an occasion
10 use the fort for warlike purposes ana
it became but a trading post. ~,
There was signed here, in 1881, the
treaty by which the Sac and Fox Indians
agreed to move to the Iowa side OF the
river and leave the village on the banks
of Rock river, which they had occupied
so long. The fort was 400 feet square.
and having access to water and carrying
large supply Of food, was equipped for
long siege.
There now remains nothing Of it. Two
cannon pointing down the river have been
the only things 10 mark the spot where
it stood till two years ago, when the

POVERTY.

The people call him rich; his lands
Stretch very far and very wide;
They call him rich, yet there he stands
Ill-clad and bent and hollow-eyed.
The people call him rich; his gold
Is piled in many yellow heap,
But he is all alone and old,
And when he dies no one will weep.
They call him rich. but where he dwells
The floors are bare, the walls are
bleak;
They call him rich; he buys and sells.
But no fond fingers stroke his cheek.
They call him rich; he does not know
The happiness of standing where
Sweet winds across the meadows blow
And toss the verdant pillows there.
-Harper's.

Thirty eight thousand dollars was
the price paid for a Persian rug ut tho
auction sale in New York of the art
collections of the late Henry G.. Mar
quand. The rug was woven in the
fifteenth century as Il gift from the
Pasha of Persia to the Sultan OF Tur
key. for the record held by Mr. Mar
quand showed that it had been found
among the effects of the Sultan Abdul
AziZ after his death.
Aside from the marvellous color anC
texture. which is over five hundred
knots to the square inch, the feature
of the rug is that the Inscriptions
throughout its border, as well rs
arabeseques in the medallions of the
design, are woven in silver thread.
1t is companion piece for the
famous carpet owned by the Prince
Alexis LObanow RoStowsky, which
was shown in the Vienna Museum
exhibition in 1889. The Rostowsky
rug was supposed to be without q
parallel in the world. but this carpet
the most highly valued among the tex,
tile treasures of Mr.. Marquand. con
tains positive internal evidence that il
was made upon the same looms and in
the same period. and doubtless for the
same purpose as that of Prince Loba
now. which also passed into the pos
session of its present owner directly
from the Seragiio in Constantinople
So far as can be ascertained this car
pet is the highest class oriental fabric
now i'm existence in this country.

precision of approval in this country. The duty of this commission will be to interpret the treaty of 1925 between Great Britain and Russia, which de- fined the boundaries between British America and Alaska, at that time Rus sian territory. The territory along the coast of that narrow southern exten- sion of Alaska, which is in dispute, was always conceded Co belong to Rus sia until 1867, when Alaska was trans ferred to the United States, and the ti- tie of the United States was never dis puted until after the discovery of gold in the Klondike region in 1896. Then Canada, realizing the value of port or two on that part of the coast in the line of travel to the new gold fields, set up claim to the territory. The claim, therefore, has no real merit Recalling the history of the negotia- tions of the joint high commission which adjourned four years ago, it seems reasonable to doubt if an evenly divided commission will ever arrive at an agreement

The Eight-fiour Bill.
conscience

The house bill entitled, "Au Act Regulating the Hours of Employment in Underground Mines and in Shelters and Ore Reduction Works, commonly called the "EIght-hour bill, " which is now in the hands of the committee on mines and mining of the counc cil, is an exact copy of the Utah law, which was held to be constitutional bs the su- preme court of the United States. It IS reproduced elsewhere iu this issue.
 As the title indicates, the bill applies only to certain employments, very lim- tied in numbers. Other occupations having as good claims to shorter honrs are ignored. The reason for this Is that those who caused the bill to be in- troduced thought 1t best not to deviate an iota from the language used in the Utah law Nevertheless, the mistake was made in fixing the maximum pen alty for violation of it's provisions at $500, while at the same time chasing the violation as q misdemeanor, where as the statute places the limit of fine for misdemeanor at $500.
 Cured of this defect, however, the fact that the law has been declared constitutional for Utah does Lot neces- sarily imply that such law would be valid in Arizona. Utah's constitution specifically provides that "the legisla- ture shall pass laws to provide for the health and safety of employees in fac torres, smelters and mines" Congress legislates for Arizona, and the organic act of the territory, which governs, is silent on this point. It might be tn at the courts would construe the law as applicable to this territory, on the ground, as in the Utah case, that such an enactment is "a valid exercise of the police power of the state.

duction during the past year. The va rious estimates made and publis ed in reference to various sections show that the general total will show no material falling off from the previous year, even though the increase is not very large During the past year there has been no big mining excitement resulting in the outputting of large quantity of ore. The fine showing made is due to n main tenance of their records by individual camps, and it shows conclusively that the industry is on q sound and substan- tial basis

No Compromise.

A late Washington dispatch revives talk of a compromise on the statehood proposition that contemplates the ad- mission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state, with the capital at Santa Fe. The original plan is changed somewhat The state is to be given the name of "Arizona," as more eu- phonious and desirable than "New Mexico, and the promise Is held out that when the western portion of the new state, within the hnes of the pres ent territory of Arizona shall have ac quired population of 300, 900 it shall be segregated and admitted us n sepa- rate state.
 There is no ground for believing that this latest compromise proposition IS receiving any consideration whatever from the supporters of the omnibus bill in the senate. In fact, Senator Quay is master of the situation to the extent that he has legislation completely blocked, and can force an extra session unless the opponents to the admission of the territories consent to vote be- ing taken on the omnibus measure.
 Senator Beverid3e and the other re publican senators opposed to statehood are squirming like an eel on fish hook in an attempt to extricate themselves from the dilemma in which they have been placed through Senator Quay's superior generalship. They are bring ing much pressure to bear upon the president to exact a promise from him to veto the bill, in which event they will allow a vote upon it.
 It has been pointed out to him that the admission of the territories, which would have ten votes in the electoral college, might endauger his reelection that in all probability Judge Parker will be the democratic nominee for president. with an excellent chance of carrying New York state, and, there. fore, it would be the rasbest folly to erect three states which, in all proba- bility, would cast their electoral votes | for the democratic nominee The pres ident, while opposed to the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, and real lzlng the danger to republican suprem- acy, is not yet willing to take the re- sponsibility of vetoing the omnibus statehood bill. It may be that Presi- dent Roosevelt, remembering his prom. ises to Arizona and New Mexico, is troubled with some slight qualms of conscience

"Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded

The Morrison eight. hour bill, which was rushed through the house early last week, is attracting greater atten- tion at present than any other measure or subject of legislation, for that mat ter, although the council is apparently not disposed to hasten consideration of 1t. In fact, the opinion prevails that there is little probability of that or any other bill limiting the tours of la bor, passing the council.
 In the natural course the bill went to the committee on mines and mining, and then Judge Kibbey introduced a resolution directing the committee, in the consideration of the bills then, or that might be thereafter referred to it relative to tho hours of service by em- ployes, to investigate and report, as to the number of employees to be affected by the bill the character of the serv- ices required of them more dangerous to life or lImb than employees engaged in other callings the probable effect of such law on the business of min ing whether employees in other call ings should be afforded like protection {; and such other facts relative to the subject that might enable the council to more fully be acquainted with the purpose and probable effect of such laws.
 Mir. Ashurst's motion to table, sec- onded by MT. Whiteside, was lost, re- ceiving only three votes, the president voting aye. The original resolution was then adopted by the same vote, eight to three, Mir. Burson being ab- sent.
 Presclence is not required to predict the defeat of the bill. The evident intent of the resolution is to defer ac- tion and eventually sidetrack the meas ure. Such an investigation as it calls for could easily be made to consume the remainder of the session and afford an excellent pretext to the committee, if unfriendly to the bill, to fail to make any report on it whatever.
 The contention that the votes on the Kibbey resolution were neither conclu- siye nor significant is not at all reason able, for the two votes were taken with exactly the same result. It is scarcely credible that the friends of the eight hour bill in the council are so obtuse that they would vote the second time, under misapprehension, in favor of a resolution that is clearly inimical to the bill.
 And it is pertinent to inquire why Messrs. Ives and Ashurst, both accred- ited parliamentarians and shrewd poli- ticians, should have SO tamely permit ted vote to he taken without having first provoked a discussion of the reso- lution, or given some cue to the states men who were unwittingly assisting 10 obstruct measure that they favored.

The Taxation of Mines.

It is unquestiouably true that the mining industry does not pay it's just proportion of taxes. There is no good reason why there should be discrimin- ation in favor of one industry more than another. An enterprise, while 1t may help to develop the natural re- sources of the territory aud promote the general welfare of the people, IS never engaged in from any notions of philanthropy. There is DO sentiment about it. Invarirbly it is a cold blooded business proposition, from which the owners hope to realize a profit, and as large profit as possible.
 Mining, it is true, gives employment to many it builds up prosperous towns and materially, though indirectly, in- creases the taxable wealth by giving life to many other kinds of business. Also, where successful, it attracts other capital from abroad for investment in like ventures in the territory. At the same time, mining depletes, and in time will exhaust, the most valuable native product that we have, and which can not be replaced. Millions of dol lars in copper, gold and silver bullion, the output of our mines, are shipped out of our territory annually to enrich nonresident stockholders.
 Again, mining claims, or properties, are purchased for twenty-five, fifty or one hundred thousand dollars compa. nies are incorporated to operate them, and shares to the face value of one hundred thousand to million dollars are issued and sold On the property are erected buildings, machinery, re- duction works, representing eXpendi- lures of many thousands more. Is there any reason why such an og..r- prise as this should not pay taxes on more than nominal valuation of the surface improvements they have made! Yet mining companies in Arizona, as 8 rule, are paying taxes on rldiculously low valuations.
 ' Without the levying of a bullion tax there is no way to compel the mining industry to bear it's just propor tion of the burden of taxation, for the reason that few mines are patented, and uuputented lands are not subject to taxation. Other mining states have laws which provide for taxing the ont put of the mines, as well as the laudl and surface improvements. Ia som, cases this bullion tax is levied on the net product, in others on the gtos, output. The latter method would seen to be the best, for the reason that many more mines are made subject to th, tax and the rate may be proportions ately reduced. Where the tax IS or net output it is found there are many mines which produce at loss, ano consequently, afford no output to tax it also encourages companies and indI vidual mine owners to give in false re- turns of their production and expenses in order to avoid payment of the tax
 We see no reason why bullion ta1 law should not be enated for Arizonl that would be fair to the producer and at the same time yield revenue that would be n substantial contribu ton to the support of county and ter ritorial government.

President Ives, of the council, has introduced bill to define the judicial districts, etc., which provides that the First district shall be composed of Yuma, Pima and Santa Cruz counties ; the Second district, of Graham, PIual and Cochise, and the Third, of Mari copa and Gila. A more awkward grouping could scarcely be made, and 1t Is especially inconvenient for Gila and Pinal counties, The bill should be amended by transposing the two coun- ties, placing Gila in the district with Graham and Cochise, and Pinal with Maricopa.
