Hon. E. E. Cooper, of The Colored

again. Editor Cooper says of the Con
servator in a recent issue:
''The doctrine of peace and progress
and the optimism and dignity of labor
as preached and practiced by DR..
Washington is not accepted by Editor
Barnett, of the COnservatOr. He much
prefers red records agitation and
strife among the races for the purpose
of preaching anti-lynching. Whose
doctrine is right and best for the twen-
tieth century civilization"
Goodi Thrash those Northern para
sites in line of common sense. That
fellow Wilkins thinks he is the ''real
thing" but what he does not know
about the race problem will make an
avenue book.
Cooper knows how and what to say
to those Northern parasites, whose
ideas and reasoning are as foreign to
common sense as the East is from
the West He says of the Boston Guar
dian in the same write-up:
''The High School editor of the Bos-
ton Guardian admits that that sheet is
patent back, and says pleadingly
that his paper must be printed some
where We knew that, sonny, but in
scoring the Chicago Monitor why does
the pot call the kettle black?' The
aforesaid editor has also discovered
that his paper contains more original
matter than two of the best cOlored
papers printed. All, ha, indeedi The
fact of the matter is the Guardian con-
tains more tgush' and social vaporings
than any of the five best coiored news
papers printed. See!"
Yes, Editor Cooper, we all "see' who
have sense enough to see, but unfor-
tunately we all have not sense enough
to see. If so all could very easily dis
Germ that this Boston newspaper is
lacking very much in qualities that go

PERTINENT SUGGESTION.

Speaking of the meeting of the Ari- zona Press Association in Phenix, the Bisbee Review suggested in a recent issue that "there is one thing which the association might take up that would be a great benefit to the news paper men of Arizona. If the associ- ation could induce the present secre- tary of the territory to stop sending crculars throughout the country car rying the incorrect information that the price for publishing articles of in- corporation in Arizona is only S15 it would have accomplished something. The legal rate for publishing these notices is .S3 per inch. In Phenix there are great many of these notices which fill pages of all the newspapers in that town from the beginning to the end of the year, and we under stand that S10 covers the publication of an ordinary incorporation in that city, but this price does not apply elsewhere in the territory. The at tention of Secretary Stoddard should be directed to the injustice to papers which require the legal rate for pub fishing articles of incorporation.
 ''The Review extends best wishes to the fraternal brotherhood at Phenix and we hope they will receive the en- tertainment they deserve at the hands of the public spirited citizens of Phe- nix. .'

MITCHELL ASKED TO SPEAK.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23.-Both branches of the Indiana legislature have officially recognized John Nit chell, president of the United mine workers. The senate had scarcely started on its morning routine, when a resolution was introduced calling upon the miners leader to address the upper branch of the legislature. The time was not fixed This resolution was concurred in unanimously, and was followed by the introduction of a second resolution officially welcom- ing the miners executive back to the state. A committee, consisting of Senators Fortune. Barnes and New house later conferred with President Mitchell to ascertain when he could appear before the senate.

POLAND IS BOOMING
Poland Extension Pays Sixteen Thousand Dollars For Group
 of Claims.
Murphy $ vassar, the Sellers, DeveI- opIng Another Group Which
 is Equally Promising.

H. J. Murphy, who with his part ner, yesterday received SIG, 900 for the sale of a mining property, to the Po- land Mining Extension Go. will be fla vorably remebmered as one of the locomotive engineers on the s. F. P. and P. railroad during its early his tory. On retiring from railroading, Mir. Murphy engaged in mining and has been devoting his time assidu- ously to it ever since. Yesterdays visit to Prescott was the first time Mir. Murphy has been in Prescott for over two years.
 The claims disposed of by him yes terday were the Copper King, Sum- nit and Virginia, and they give prom ise of becoming dividend payers, un- der the careful management of MT. George.
 MT. Murphy and Mir. Vassar have another group of claims, called the Evening Star group which they are developing and getting in shape to sell
 1. The Copper King group is located near the Poland mines and the Even- ing Star group is located about one and one half miles south of the Po- land tunnel. It is equally promising with the one just sold.
 MT. Murphy says that the town of Poland is growing rapidly and is destined to become a larger place than Jerome at no distant day in the future. He says that he belives the best mines in the county are to be found within a radius of few miles of Poland and the growth and prosperity of the place does not depend on any sin gle mine or upon the operations ofa sim gle company. He is quite enthusi- astic over the mining outlook for the county generally. The progress made in the Poland country during the past few years has certainly been remark able, and the succes achieved has been equally remarkable.

Sensible men did not believe that the democrats meant what they said last fall in their platforms. Some en- thusiasiats even went so far as to pre-
 dict that the more intelligent mem bers of the party would manifest their disapproval of the platform at the polls by voting against it. The latter were mistaken. A democrat seldom fails to vote his ticket no mat ter who the candidate or how anarch- istic or unreasonable the platform.
 The word democrat at the top of the ticket will capture him every time.
 Besides the we'll informed democrat knew that the platform stood for nothing but vote catching and knew full we'll that he was not taking any chances in apparently voting for something which would never occur. The amusing feature is the discovery made since election. by certain demo- cratic papers, that the platform was a very imperfect affair at best and needs modifying greatly, before attempting to carry it out. They shrieked its praises and howled its virtues during the campaign, and now that the time comes for fulfilling its promises, they say "it needs modifying, and it will never do to carry out its provisions.

NEW OIL COMPANY
Will Operate in the Lonesome Val ley Oil Belt and Sink
 Prospect Well.
Favorable Reports Made by Experts on Company's Iand-Conserva-
 tive Capitalization.

After a thorough examination of their ground by experts, all of whom have made most favorable reports, a party of Jerome gentlemen have or ganiZed what is known as the Del Rio Oil and Development company, and will just as soon as possible put a drilling outfit on the ground and commence operations. The News was shown several letters from these eX- perts urging the owners of the land to organize and commence operations as their chances for striking oil were more favorable than that existing in 99 per cent of the oil districts in this country, also pointing the many and increasing uses to which oil is being put throughout the world. as surance against such a universal com modity becoming a glut on the mar ket. fact obvious to even the cas- ual observer.
 The Del Rio company's property is located in the Lonesome Valley oil belt. a little west of north from where the Manhattan Oil company Douglas, Lacey X Co. ) is now drill ing. The Del Rio claims start east of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix railway tracks and extends for some miles along the foot hills bordering the Big Chino valley. The first well will be sunk at point about eight miles north of Jerome Junction, on the west side of and about 200 feet from the Santa Fe tracks. At this point the experts have estimated that the oil channel is more than six hun dred feet in width. and that a depth of }, GOO or ?. 300 feet will take we'll to the oil. The company owns its land on which there is not one cent of debt, therefore the stockholder runs no chance of losing his money through failure to take up bonds, or through the lapse of leases. They will purchase full drilling outfit. thus doing away with the delays incl dent to change of contractors. The officials of the company will receive no salaries, an assurance that all the money paid in for treasury stock will be used in a legitimate hunt for oil.
 The capitalization of the company is S250. 900, with a par value of Sl per share. so low a figure as to make it apparent to the most careless observer that the company has not been organ ized for stock speculation. but for the object of discovering oil from the sale of which they hope to make money.
 The company is headed by Mir George Ross, master mechanic at the works of the United Verde Copper company and also of the United Verde and Pacific railway, as president. Mir. Ross is man of means and is well known in Montana as we'll as in Je- rome. as conservative and successful business man. J. c. Heslet. con tractor at the works of the U. V.
