 "u the Mmquam convention were many who had heretofore opposed ter- ritoral government for Alaska, and who were idenihed with the large cor porauons which at enc time were among the most conspicuous opponents of a territorial government It is 9 gratifying indication of the growth Of public sentiment on this subject that both conventions, by substantially unanimous vote, should have gone.on record as fayoring territorial govern ment, fact which seems to have wiped out all differences of policy which might have existed between the two conventions. and leaves the dispute merely a personal one, for both delega- dons favor the nomination of President Roosevelt"

CIRCULATING IN MINES.

The Daily Mining Gazette in general article sizing up the various speculative opportunities offered by diff probabilities for success and failure in the mining field. The Gazette says;
 Tt is impossible that all the proper ties being foated will fail to yield re- turns. Many will doubtless be fail ures, but with the present methods of that existing values will not be neg lected. While the mining man Is at a disadvantage as against the farmer. since the latter can force returns from the soil, while the former is unable to mineralize bare ground. yet with the expert judgment which Is employed in a majority of the mine promotions to- day, the ventures are not altogether hazardous. And if values exist they are not likely to be overlooked. In fact it would not be surprising to see the investors in some of the alleged fakes make a last final effort at ex- ploration in sheer desperation, and uncover mineral values. Such things are not unknown in mining history. One point is certain; the money now invested in mines by copper country spectators has a practical guarantee today of being returned by the re- gently developed properties which have already become producers.
 This sort of speculation is far more eommendable and gives less chance of disastrous results than fooIhardy speculation in securities with inflated and fictitious values. representing in dustries with which the investor is en- tirely unfamiliar. A farmer of today Is supposed to know good land when he sees it, and if he has reasonable opportunity he can make it profitable
 A mining man is presumed to know shist from limestone an dgranite from porphyry. and with the many expe- rienced men from mining sections all over the United States who are going into new fields and putting millions of dollars into development, it is beyond reason to suppose that the returns will balance investments The man who puts in a dollar may not always get 1t out but his neighbor stands a good show of taking out five.

MT. Shackleford brought sack of the samples to the Herald office and gave full particulars. The deposit of asbes- tos is about three miles long and from five to forty feet wide. Asbestos crops out the full length and width of that area. The samples shown US were claimed to be general average of the deposit. Some of the pieces were pure asbestos. The flores. when placed in water. softened like cotten cloth. Thirty-six claims were located in all
 The location of the find was on the head of Pinto creek, thirty-fve miles from Globe. It is a country that can easily be reached Globe being so close. makes the shipping of the min eral quite cheap.
 Asbestos is produced principally in Italy and Canada The United States gets it's supply from the latter place. After being crushed and the rock washed out, asbestos Is worth about s240 per ton. The value ranges accord ing to the length of the flores. Mr. Shackelford says that the mineral can be obtained at the new find in any length from an inch to eight inches.
 Work will be done shortly on the property and its value further pros pected. As it appears now. the for tunes of those interested are made Prescott Herald.

sumers believe there is pretty sure to be a reaction. Their present posi- tions strengthens the market, for eventually their needs must be sup piled regardless of price.
 London quotations have steadily declined during the past week. the net loss in prices amounting to about 4 cent per pound. The total decline in the foreign market from the highest is equivalent to more than A cents per pound. A leading London financial paper, the Statist, stated the eleventh
 ult.. that the copper market had evil dently had it's full rise, and predicted a reaction. In what 1t said iteyi- dently reflected English trade opinion, for since that time foreign purchases have been very meagre. As soon as needs begin to press. however, buying
 will be resumed, and with its resump-
 tion will pretty surely come higher prices. Foreign consumers have
 bought only sparingly for future needs. and can not remain long out of the market This year will mark a new high limit Of European copper consumption.
 Domestic consumption continues very heavy, and promises to increase rather than diminish. Producing in terests are confined regarding the fu- ture. It is good opinion that the current hesitation on the part of buy CTS Is due to the final realization by consumers that the advance in copper
 prices was not assisted in any way by
 manipulation, and the consequent fear
 that if the market is to be left to itself violent fluctuations may occur. am told by a higher authority that there Is known to be ready con !sumptive demand for every pound of copper that is coming from the ground and that in the long run more diff culty will be experienced in keeping
 the price of copper down to Is cents
 than in supporting it, and that there is no immediate probability that the price will be allowed to sag more than fractionally."

ASBESTOS IN CHA COUNTY.
Samples Examined in Prescott Show the Mineral to Be Almost Conner
 cizilv Fine.

What may prove to be one of the biggest things in the way of mineral find ever located in Arizona has just been appropriated by two Prescott men. who returned from beyond Globe yesterday afternoon. The men are NJ. L. Shaekelford and M c. Jolly.
 Some time ago, in conversation with several men, the subject discussed was asbestos. MT. Shackleford informed them that he knew where there was enough of the article to supply the world. He said that he had punched cattle all over the Tonto basin coun- try and had ridden over the deposit many times. The result was that Mir. Shackleford and Mir. Jolly started for the Tonto country on the 18th of last March with burros. They had six burros, a camping outfit and plenty to eat.
 Yesterday afternoon they arrived ia town again, feeling like millionaires-
