There is perhaps elevator in the world more
exclusive than that provided at the Capitol at
Washington, D. c., for the Supreme Court OF the
United States. That elevator can be used by ex-
acty eleven people, and no one else would for a
moment consider entering 1t except the guest Of
one Of these eleven privileged men. The fortunate
eleven are the nine justices OF the United States
Supreme Court, the clerk and the marshal or
the court. The elevator goes from the ground
floor Of the Capitol TO the main floor, on which IS
located the Supreme Court Of the United States.

tion. In Montana, recently, one of the big companies voluntarily paid farmers and owners of lands adjacent to their smelting works for the destruc- tion of their crops, trees and shrubs by sulphur fumes. It would seem as though the mining industry in parts of the west, and especially in California, was sufficiently handicapped without being harrassed by suits such as has been brought against the Mountain Copper company by the federal gov ernment. In view of the fact that mining has made the development O, very large portion of the west pc sible and that nearly all other indus ries, including agriculture, are depend ent upon mining for their prosperity, the best policy for the government to pursue would appear to be to encour age the mining industry by hberl treatment.

Assessment Work on Oil Claims

The discovery of oil in many par of the west and the development of the industry during the past few years, has made conspicuous the shortcomings of the present law in regard to the looa- cation of oil lands
 The present law provides for the To- eating of oil lands under the placer mining act, and compels an annual assessment work of Sl00 on each claim the same as that required on quartz To. cations, with the exception that there is no provision lu the present law gov erniug oil locations providlr for the concentration of the work ou any one claim in a contiguous group for the benefit of all
 Early Tn the present session Repre- sentative Sutherland, of Utah, intro duced a bill providing for the con,en- tration of assessment work on oil claims, as follows
 Be it enacted, &c,, That where oil lands are located under the provisions of Title XXXU, Chapter 6, Revised Statutes of the United States, as placer mining claims, the annual assessment labor upon such claims may be done upon any one of the group of claims lying contiguous and owned by the same person or corporation, not ex- ceeding five claims in all provided, that said labor will tend to the devel- opment or to determine the oil bear ing character of such contiguous claims.
 This bill passed the house in Decem- Der, and in the senate, on February ?, it was reported fuvorubly from the committee by Senator Clark of Wyo. ming.

Judge Parker's Candidacy

The favor with which the suggestion of Judge Alton B. Parker as the next presidential nominee of the democratic party is meeting throughout the country is remarkable. There seems to be general agreement that he would be strong candidate. His availability lies in the fact that he is not involved in the factional quarrel which has divided the party.
 Judge Parker, now in his fifty second year, has spent most of bis mature life as judge. He served on the supreme bench of New York for many years, and in 1897 was elected chief justice of the court of appeals by a plurality Of G0,000, which is remarkable in view of the fact that Mckinley carried the state the year before by plurality of 2S0, 900.
 It is said that Judge Parker is will ing candidate for the presidency, and planning for a tour through the south ern states during the spring recess of the New York court of appeals. He has already made several engagements to attend social, political and profes- sional gatherings. This will give the democrats of the south an opportunity to make his acquaintance and see what sort of a man they are asked to choose as their leader and candidate.
 It is q hopeful sign that the party talk is more and more about so fresh and wholesome personality as Judge Parker and less about the old party hacks and bosses of many inglorious and often wrecked preliminary cam paigns of the past.

The turn which the statehood discus sion has taken during the past week seems to preclude the possibility oi the admission of Arizona as state singly, aud as the question has become so involved by the lugglng in of the mormon question and other matters foreign to the consideration of Arr. zona's qualifications for statehood the wiser course to pursue would seem to be to iorego further efforts to secure a vote of the senate on the omnibus bill at this session. So many false charges have been made against Arizona during the discussion that eastern prejudices against the terI tory will be strength ened and injury done to her reputation and material interests. Senator Quay has shown weakness in his willingness to accept the compromise offered by the republican majority to merge Ari- zonR with New Mexico and admit them as one state, and if he IS indifferent on this point it is not probable that his republican followers in the senate vii much longer resist the pressure from the administration and party leaders. Better call the fight off and turn our attention to the building up of tlc mining industry and development f our agricultural resources through th assistance offered by the national iri,- gation law. Statehood will come in few years without any special effor, and we will then be better prepared tp assume the greater responsibilities in- separable from sovereignty.

wOman's Suffrage Not Advancing

The ambitious women of the Arizona Equal Suffrage association will find no encouragement in the recent records of some of the state legislatures on the suffrage question. As the Chicago Record Herald states
 The year opens rather omniously for the woman's suffrage movement. Closely following the defeat in the Kansas legislature comes the burial of the equal suffrage bill in the senate of the Montana legislature
 Last year woman's suffrage amend ments were defeated in Massachusetts, Iowa and Connecticut, while in Ken lucky the governor signed the bill passed by the legislature taking away school suffrage from women in the sec Ond class cities. In 1901 the legisla- ture of New York passed law giving to women owning property the right to vote upon propositions to raise money by tax or assessment in villages in which their property is assessed. In 1898 woman suffrage amendments to the constitution were defeated by the people in South Dakota and Washing ton, and in Oregon in 1900
 With the exception of the property franchise granted in New York, and which is restricted to propositions to raise money, the woman suffrage move ment has made no headway, so far as legislation is concerned, since the adop- tion of equal suffrage in Colorado in 1893, where women are permitted to vote for all officers, national, state county and municipal The same priv ileges are enjoyed in Idaho, U tah and Wyoming.

 The Prescott Courier states an in- controvertible truth when 1t says, This whole country is sadly in need of fewer laws and more justice" The Courier IS of the opinion that legisla- lures should meet only once in six years. However, we would amend that suggestion by making ten years the in terval between sessions in Arizona, A petition to that effect, from citizens of Globe, was presented to the neteenth legislature, and although offered in jest, it really expressed tn earnest conviction of many of the petitioners.

If the legislature would show proper regard for the taxpayers by refusing to make appropriations other than are absolutely necessary, they would serve their constituents much better than by making a pretense of fulfilling dema gogie platform pledges.

The Copper Situation

A pronounced change of opinion appears to have taken place in copper circles regarding the future of the red metal. A few weeks ago we heard much of the alleged large surplus and increasing production of copper, and pessimostic opinions as to prices were freely quoted. Now the autbori- ties" have switched and estimates and predictions are as encouraging as they were formerly disheartening.
 The bullish sentiment Is reflected in the recent advance in copper shares, and the strong market for the metal itself. Shares in some instances have advanced by leaps and bounds, and Lake copper has reached l2. @ < cts, and special brands are quoted at l3 cts.
 While the production of copper is admitted to be large, yet the con- sumption, also, is enormous and there Is every indication that it will continue to grow. European stocks are depleted and consumers abroad must look to the United States for the greater part og their supplies.
 John R. Stauton's estimate of the present stock of copper is SO, 900 tons, which tallies closely with the Engineer ing and Mining Journals figures Of 65, 00S tons on hand December 3l, 1908.
 A Boston man who has been identi- fled with the copper trade for very many years is quoted saying
 "I have recently returned from New York, where I have been in conference with some of the largest copper pro- ducers and copper consumers in the country. I have also been in touch with gentleman who was permitted through the courtesy of Mir Brough- ton, the son-in-law of H. H Rogers, to go through the Perth Amboy works, where year ago the Amalgamated people had accum ulated vast stock of copper. He tells me there is not pound of surplus copper at these works today
 'I am convinced, by reason of my investigations into the real status of the copper situation, that We are on the eve of big upward movement iu the price of copper and copper shares.
 "Mr. Chas. F. Brooker, the Con. necticut brass manufacturer, who con- sumes yearly loo, 900, 900 pounds of copper, tells me that he is running on a hand-to-mouth basis, and has prac. tically no working supply on hand l believe hia position reflects the posi- ton of other large consumers.'
 Some of these opinions may be too optimistic, but it is, nevertheless, cer. tain that the copper industry IS in n very healthy condition, and we mOy at least look for steady market for some time to come with Lake copper at l3 cents or better.

Considerable surprise is occasioned by the suit of the government against the Mountain Copper company, Ltd, of California, for $50, ,000. The land office claims that there has been dam ages to that amount on timber on gov ernment land, owing to the destructive effects of sul lphurous acid gas, produced in such large quantities from the roast piles and furnaces at Keswick. Several suits against the corporation have been
 won recently by private individuals,
