The editor of the Iron ore, pub
lished in Michigan, has stirred up a
regular hornets nest ut Bisbee by
stating that there were only two
mines in the district. the Copper
Queen and the Calumet * Arizona:
that many of the new companies
were miles away from these mines
in INFESTED sections of the district;
that maps had been changed; misrep-
resentations made. and i'm fact con-
siderable amount of swindling done,
greatly to the detriment of Michigan
investors. The Risbee papers are "red
hot" about it, and while they do not
deny all the allegations set forth.
:hey do deny some of them. and call
on the Michigan editor for bill of
particulars. The facts are that the
Bishee country has been on tremeu-
dous boom for some time past. and
that undeveloped claims have been
sold for more than we'll developed
mines are worth in other sections.
Many new companies have been form
ell not a few of which are selling their
stock to MichiganGers at five, ten and
fifteen times their par values. None
of these new companies have vet de-
veloped ore bodies, hence the prices
placed on their stock Is largely specu-
lativo, and someone will be badly
hurt when the turn comes. which
must inevitably follow. The price NJ
which some OF these stocks are now
quoted would put price on the prop
erty of from SSO000.OOO TO S50, OOO. 600
which is probably more than the total
output OF the Queen mine from its
discovery 10 the present time. There
can be no comparison between these
properties and the Queen and the
Calumet and Arizona, because thew
must yet demonstrate the existence
of ore bodies, while the former are
among the best known mines of the
country. The value of any mining
stock depends largely upon the divid-
ends, or upon the amount and value
of the ore blocked out before the cree
ton of \ plant. The value of stock
in any mine not showing ore, although
contiguous 10 well known producers.
is largely speculative. The ERA can
not be considered as ''knocker" be-
cause il has done more towards adver-
Using the great mineral wealth of the
entire territory than any other paper
in the territory, but it views with
alarm the great boom. or rather the
ficticious values, prevailing in Cochise
county. which will surely bring dis
aster to many investors, and prove
detriment to the mineral develop
ment of the entire territory.

ing The law provides that Boards OF

would bring to the county in interest
from $1,000 TO $500 per year.

gated to furnish sufficient evidence as
to the legality OF the bonds.

on April 2l.
It was ordered that Hunter Spoon be
removed from his office "a road over
seer Of the MOrenci road district, and

was given $50. Mr.. Harris desires to
go to the New Mexico springs where
he can be cured from an attack of
rheumatism. The amount was ordered
to be charged to the county expenses
fund.
The petition for the Incorporation of
Clifton was presented, and after an eX
tended discussion action was post
poncd until the next regular meeting,
Monday, July 6. 1t was the opinion of
the supervisors that the petition did
not contain sufficient signatures repre-
senting the taxable wealth of the
town proposed to be Incorporated.

Dennis Murphy, an old time resident
OF Clifton, died in the county hospital
at SOlOmOnvi.le last week. He had
been suffering from cancer for num-
Der Of years, which was the cause OF
his death. He had been in the hos
pital about six years. For Il number
Of years Dennis Murphy was employed
on the railroad at Clifton, where he
was known by everyone. He was a
very cheerful and hOspitable man aud
had the respect and good will of all with
whom he came in contact. He was a
native of Ireland and had been resi-
dent Of Arizona over twenty years.
At the time Of his death he was nearly
sixty years old. He was buried at the

Married in Lordsburg on Sunday,
Dickey, Mr.. Abijah Smith and Miss
popular cashier of the ella Valley
Bank and Trust company, and Miss
Woodman has been the assistant
cashier of the Clifton branch of this
institution. This is form of the
financial mergers that are so popular
these days. Personally the Liberal
presented its fluctuations to the we'd
ded couple on the day of the marriage
and today presents them again and
politically. Mrs. Smith expects to
start east next week to visit her
mother in Boston.
The above appeared in the Lords
burg Liberal of last week. The item
appears to be little old, and yet it is
news. for only last week the ERA
chronicled the departure of Mr.
Smith and Miss Woodman" for Solo
knoxville on a social visit. Don: Ked-
zie Is not Il hustler FOR news. He be-
lieves in the old adage Luck in leis-
ure, aud in this case it seems to have
served his purpose very well He
had scoop" on the Clifton papers
for more than three months, proba-
bly, waiting to see if the Clifton papers
really had any news hustlers connected
with them. The mystery is not so
much in the fact that the wedding
was kept secret. but that Don: Ked-
zie could have kept good news item
for so long. How could you, Don?
When the bride aud groom returned
from SOlomonville Saturday last, after
the news OF their marriage had been
made public through the Liberal,
they were the recipients of hearty
congratulations from their many
friends. Mrs. Smith left Sunday last
for Boston on visit TO her old home.
where she will spend two or three
months. She has resigned her posi-
tion as assistant cashier in the bank.
which is filled by Archie Merrill.
The ERA wishes the bride and groom
long and happy life.

led TO their use a. a standard. To-day
this passion accounts for the large imports
OF silver into India and the East. where the
white metal Ia boarded. or converted into
anklets or bracelets for women. Among
the North American Indians black and
white shells were rubbed down, polished
and made into beads which, when fashioned
into belts Of necklaces. we're called wam-
pun. These wampum belts were used a.
money not only because beads were valued
a. ornamental, but because the belts were
antecedently esteemed an the most fitting
means of COMMUNICATING events Of great
importance. So satisfactory was this
standard for trading with Indians In Mas
sachusetts, that In ie4e wampum was made
q legal tender In sums a. high a forty
shillings In payments between the oolonists
themselves. In early Colonial days. to-
bacco was used In Virginia as the standard
commodity. In terms OF which other goods
were appraised. The tobacco, In turn,
becauss Of trade with England. was at
times stated 10 be Of certain value In
English money. The Virginia Act Of 1883
recited In Its preamble that 1t had bean tn Q
usual custom Of merchants to make all
bareains and contracts. and keep all ac-
counts, In tobacco. Latsr laws even made
tobacco q legal tender for contracts. The
service Of tobacco a. . standard. however.
was often independent Of its use - q me-

long as each man pr, duced all the things

of central Pennsylvania as lately as the

Another passage quoted from Holinshed
shows how CLOSELY the beginning Of Shake
epeares play follows the chronicle. After
recounting the wars that King Duncan
waged against the Danes. about A. d. 10ai,
Holinshed relates that, a. the Kings gen.
erals, Macbeth and Banquo, 'journeyed
toward Fores. where the King then lay.
they went sporting by the way together
without other company save only them
selves. passing through the woods and
fields. when suddenly. In the midst Of a
land. there met them three women In strange
and wild apparel, resembling creatures Of

Should the latter be favored at the ex-
pense Of the formerl Clearly not. On the
other hand. suppose that the farmer had
made a good investment OF the loan. and
had shown skill in the Use OF the new CAPT.
tai on his farm; then the borrower will
have earned more than he borrowed. and
he will have the means to repay the loan
In such q case no question Is ever raised
as to the duty OF repayment; the discus
sions are raised, as q rule. solely by the
debtors who have displayed ineflciency or
dishonesty. Economically speaking. the
creditors, as q rule. are those who have
saved; the thrifty. steady, temperate and
industrious members OF society, who Get

separated from debtors Is a class-the
separation is by no means easy-there In
no ground for the assumption that debtors
should be favored as against creditors.
Both should receive impartial, even handed
treatment, regardless OF class
In a footnote II In conceded that an OBJ
jector might say that the conclusion just
set forth Ia right, but that II does not cover
the case where. by a fall Of prices. the
debtor IL obliged TO pay back more than

Prof LAughlin replies that this Ia one OF
the risks OF q time loan which the debtor
must keep In mind when he borrows apd
when he hxes the rate Of interest. Prices
might have risen; in that case the debtor
would probably make no offer to pay back
what the creditor would lose by receiving
only $1,000. Moreover. In the United
