Another uniustIllabIe Kllnng

From the testimony given at the cor oner's inquest iu the matter of tbe kill. ing Of Ephraim Smith by Constable Dayton Graham, ,ut Douglas, the officer was no more justified in shooting Smith than was Ranger w. W. Webb in killing Lon Bass.
 Graham, as a matter of course, main tains that his victim was the man who killed Deputy Constable Thos. Vaughn and wounded him lGraham) on May Is last, aud that, therefore, he was justified iu shooting him, But 1t was his duty as au officer to arrest Smith, if he was the man wanted, not to kill him in cold blood W. A. Hart, 9 night watchman, was with Graham and both officers had their guns drawn and levoled at Smith. He had no show to defend himself and was in the act of throwing up his hands when Graham fired twice, the second shot striking Smith in the neck
 Graham's OWL statement is sufficient to condemn him. He stated that he told Hart when he met him before the shooting that he had seen the man who killed Vaughn and be was going to kill him that after he had entered tue sa- loon and ordered Smith to throw up his hands, he immediately commenced to shoot. "In reply to question, says the Douglas International, "Gra- ham said that he didn't wait for the man to hold mp his hands and didn't care.
 In concluding an editorial on the shooting of Smith, the International says "As result of this deplora ole occurrence an innocent man has been wiliElly and cruelty murdered and the town given a most uuenyiable notoriety, as evidenced by the comments of out. side papers. It is bad enough when outlaws and professional crooks com init acts of lawless ness, but when off cers of the law start on such a course it is time to call halt. If there is any way of removing Constable Graham from office 1t should be done at once, as such Q man in an official position is a continual menace to the peace of the community

Arizona's S Great Mines

Ores and Metals, of Denver, says {: Ut is theintention of this paper to de- vote considerable space to Arizona, and from month to month describe it's mines, which are among the greatest in the world. Although 1t has been producer of mineral since the arrival of the Spanish couqueroro, it might be said that the curtain has never been raised on the scene of most act i've mining operations For while it has today some of the richest deposits in the world as compared with other states, those portions which have been mined are but scratches upon the sides of her mighty hills, and the portions yet left untouched will give Co the world mines of unusual richness with those which at the present time are SC successfully worked"

Restoring Harm ony in the University

The university squabble at Tucson has been abated by the retirement of Ferris $. Fitch from the office of chan oellor, and it is hoped that with the re- organization of the board of regents and the appointment of new presl- dent, harmony will be restored and the institution regain the ground which has been lost through internal strife
 Our confidence in Governor Brodie's ability and desire to reform the man agement of the university has already received some assurance through the action of the board of regents at their meeting last week, and especially in the determination to exercise the great est care in the selection of president and in the choice of new member of the board of regents to till the existing vacancy. It seems Co be understood at Tucson that the new regent wIll be from some place in the territory re- moved from Tucson, and that hereafter the. management of the university will be kept free from the suspicion that it is in any respect, except as to its loca- tion, sectional institution.
 Of the fifteen names submitted for president, the Tucson Post states that consideration has narrowed to three whose recommendations appeared to be best. These are w. T. Ran dall, late dean of the University of Southern California, a methodist uni versity another who is connected with the University of Chicago, and the third professor in the California uni versity. The regents will meet again on the 20th inst, when in all probabil ity president will-be elected.
 The Tucson Citizen strongly opposes Professor Randall, charging that he Is methodist minister, and therefore disqualified from filling the office of president of q non sectariau institution We agree with the Citizen that the uni versity should be kept entirely alooi from any denominational influence, al. though we do not know whether the Citizens objection to Professor Randall on this score is well founded, but We agree with the Citizen on the general proposition that no clergyman of any denomination should be placed at the head of the University of Arizona
 We hope that Governor Brodie and the board of regents will view the mat ter in this light, and appoint a man to the presidency against whom no such objection can be urged, man of wig. orous intellect, of progressive ideas and of uuquestioned ability as an edu- catnr

Many of the old acquaintances of John P. Clum will regret to learn of the allegation that he is involved in the post llice scandals. He has been an inspector in the service for number of years and has borne an excellent name, and his friends will be slow in believing him guilty of dishonorable conduct. Mr. Olum was one of the early Indian agents at San Carlos, and was for several years resident of Tombstone, where he published q newspaper and was postmaster for a term.

Arizona Win Lead in Copper

A well-known mining engineer, who for two years past has been doing ex- pert work in Arizona, IS quoted by George l.. Walker, editor of the Bos. ton Commercial, as saying
 'I believe that Arizona will, within few years be the leading copper-pro- ducing state of the Union. While the Butte mines are confined within an area less than mile square, and the paying min9s at Lake Superior reach only from Mohawk to Champion, a distance of about twenty miles, copper is found in large quantities and of high enough grade to be worked proftably, from Northern Arizona south into Mexico for nearly a thousand miles, If the Bisbee situation of rich copper ore in the underlying blue lime is repeated in all the other districts where surface conditions are similar, there can be no question that the worlds future demand tor copper will be supplied" :"

the Mountain Meadow massacre. He
served as a United States scout from
which found Gen. John G. Fremont He
enlisted during the Civil War as a pri-

escaped, was one of the most atrecious
deeds ever committed by the western In
dians ItC3occurred in Santa Clara
County, Utah, and. it was supposed, un-
der the instigation and direction of the
Mormon leaders. A party of 120 emf
grant settlers on their way through Utah
TO California had aroused the suspicious
of the Mormons and at the place named
were surrounded by Indians under Nor

Only a few members of the party es-

As the result of a decision by District

then granting an injunction against the

critics of the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany III Montana were ordered closed for
an indefinite period. 1t is estimated By
officials of the company that at least H.
QUO men will be made idle and possibly
ZO,OOO. The shutdown is the most COM
plete and extensive ever known in Mon

be drawn from the Boston and Montana,
Butte and Boston and Colorado and
at Anaconaa are the largest in the world
and employ 5000 men. The effects of
this shutdown will be felt in all parts
of Montana, as there is hardly county
in which the Anaconda company does not
operate In one way or another. Wood
choppers and lumbermen will be idle and
coal miners will be out of work in half a
dozen counties. Much excitement exists
in Butte and the town is thronged with
idle miners blocking the streets and dis
cussing the situation. The officials of
the Amalgamated Copper Company are
reticent in discussing the matter.

ANNEXATION THEIR CRY
British Co1umbians Now Favor Union
of Canada with United States.

Local feeling at Vancouver is very
bitter over the award of the Alaskan
boundary commission. There is much
talk of annexation and of Canada be-
coming independent, business men gener
ally being much dissatisfied at what they
pronounce British disregard of Canadian
interests to please the United States. 1t
is matter of comment that the most
outspoken among the discontinued are
Engiishmen residing here. Many of these
say that Canada will never achieve her
greatest possibilities until she becomes
part of the United States. The Rev.
Elliott S. Rowe. the leading Methodist
minister of British Columbia and who,
with Chief Justice Hunter. composed the
labor commission which sat last summer,
in an interview said: Il am Britisher
and l have always been a Britisher, but
z Great Britain is to hand Canada over
piecemeal to the United States, say
let us join the American republic also.
BY doing so now we are large enough,
populous enough and important enough
to have something to say regarding the
terms of such annexation and also would
be potent enough to have something to
say IN the affairs of the republic of
which we would form part. But if we
wait until our best and richest territory
is given away we shall simply be absorb
ed 1t looks TO me as if Canada had
won the case and lost the territory"
Mayor Neelands of Vancouver says that
the Alaska award may lead to the es-
tablishment of Canada as an independent
nation.

the company.
In the bill, which was filed by James

this condition has resulted from the
