Two paroles and one pardon were
granted by Gov. a o Brodie yester-
day. They were William Evans and
Frank Arner, paroled, and Howard
johnson, pardoned. All are to take
effect March 10. William Evans was
sent up in May, 1897, for robbery in
Cechise county. His term was ten
years. Frank Arner was sent up
from Pinal county December l, 1894,
for robbery, his term being thirty
years. The paroles were granted OH
the recommendation of the superin-
tendent of the prison. Howard johnson
was convicted of burglary and sent up
from Gila county December IL, 1901,
for eighteen months. AS his term
has almost s,pired, the pardon merely
restores citizenship.-Ga=ett

The Texes Legislature has passed
an act repeating all the live stock
sanitary laws of that state, therefore
the United States quarantine law will
not permit any more cattle to be ship
ped from the Lone Star state. There
was a struggle in both branches of the
to get the measure through.
1t has not yet been signed by the
governor. This bill will be of interest
to Arizona stockmen, as Texas has
been in the habit of shipping q large
number of her cattle to this territory
This action will have tendency to
raise the price of stock in Arizona

a S60O,OoO MINING DEAL
Dr.. John Wix Thomas. Brothers and
Associates Buy Sonora Mine.

E. j. Bonsall returned homo yes
terday morning from a visit of ovel
three weeks III the south, most of which
time was spent in NJ exico. The Oh
ject of his visit to Mexico was to ex-
anime and report on the Cerro Prieto
mine, thirty five miles from Magda-
lena, Sonora, and as a result of this
investigation before he returned the
mine WAS purchased for s6O9.OOo by
the people in whose interest he visited
the property.

to the fact that the buyers arc DR.
John Wix Thomas of this city, three
brothers who live in Chicago and other

companied Mr.. Bonsall to Mexico which
accounts for the deal being made so
quickly after the inspection of the
property, which with the necessary
sanpliny required about three weeks.
A large cash payment WAS made at
made satisfactory to all concerned.

it is pleasure to talk about for it is
one that the owners could scarcely
make a mistake on if they wanted to.
There is a very large deposit of ore
though 1t is low grade, averaging
about five dollars ton and it is
estimated that there is now in sight
about 5000, 600 worth of it. The
mine is already we'll developed though
it is not very old property, some
4. 600 feet of work having been done.
A twenty stamp mill is now in steady
operation on the ore With the plates
and the accompanying cyaniding plant
about % per cont of the values are
saved as the ore is decidedly free and
easily worked. The pleasing feature
of the enterprise is that while the ore
shows no remarkable values there is so
much Of it that it can he handled on
a large scale and it can he bett er relied
upon for definite results than many
more wonderfully rich little mines
There Is plenty of wood and water
available at nearby points and the
present plant is operated by steam.
A water supply Can he secured in
either Of two nearby rivers, between |
which tho property is located, and |
either of them will furnish water |
power for the generation of electricity |
to operate a large plant.
The owners propose to erect a 100 |
stamp mill at the earliest possible day |
and exploit the property on a magniti- |
cent scale. Asked If he exposed him
self to the plague while in Mexico Mr.. !
Bonsall said he heard very little con-
corning it down there and the excite

been very salutary in one respect for it

PATAGONIA.
As the Summer Resort for Tucson. /

Parties from Patagonia now in tho
city, learning of the desire of Tucson
to establish or settle on summer
resort, for the old Pueblo present the
claims of Patagonia, the ideal place
for the summer resort for not only
Tucson but for Southern Arizona
Patagonia has the altitude of 1000
feet, which makes it cool in the hot
test days of the summer season. 1t is
surrounded on all sides by magnif-
cent mountain scenery, which abounds
in game, especially the blue rock
pigeon, which swarm the mountains
and valleys in the summer season.
There is abundance of cool running
water. There is two acre lake near
by with plenty of fish.
Then Patagonia il the center from
which radistes good roads to a score of
mountain mining camps, nesting III
the woods at All altitude of from 5000
to 5000 feet and beautiful mountain
scenery. There are abundance of rid
ing hor.es always at hand near the
ranges in the immediate vicinity.
Patagonia has three hotels. Ano-
ther one will soon he in course of
erection. 1t requires but four hours
to ride by rail from Tucson to reach
the ideal sumnering place.
Our business men locating their
families there for the summer could
leave on Saturday afternoon and reach
there at five, return Monday morning
and be at their desks at eleven as the
trains now run or even earlier.
Special rates would no doubt, be
made by the Southern Pacific COM
pany to induce our people to enjoy
themselves in the cool air of Patago-
mia during the heated term. Hence
the suggestion seems to be in fact is
full of merit. Star

A radical DIT IN ,cratic exchange
facetiously refers to the "bene 6ciar
les of the protective tariff which
leads us TO inquire who are the
benefciaries of the protective tariff
policy OF the government. The
answer is at first flush the manu-
facturer, but the laborer, also skilled
and unskilled, to whom he has
been able to give steady employ
ment at increasing wages, and not
only the laborer in the factory but
the laborer on the farm and in the
mill who has worked to supply tive
needs of the laborer in the factory
The whole industrial machinery
Of The nation. wheel within wheel,
is hinged on the policy that has
made the nation prosperous when
ever it is enforced, and has thrown
il into idleness and poverty when
ever 1t has been abandoned. The
protective tariff policy of the nation
has made diversified industry pos
sible, and diversified industry has
made the nation prosperous. The
antagonist Of protection offers the
doctrine Of free trade, whose patron
saint is Grover Cleveland, whose
administration epitomized the
democratic policy and demon
s,rated the result in perpetuatipg
hard times. Democracy, present,
past and future, seems TO have but
one idea of craftsmanship, and that
idea is to make perpetual warfare
ON the prote Give tariff system.
