There are plenty of opportunities to make good investments in mining shares, and if little good, common sense IS used, the profits are infinitely greater than in any other channel of le' gitimate business.

Prescott will make a fight to secure from the next legislature school of mines for that town. This would be a step against the University of Arizona and would be opposed to the ends for which that institution was established and the aim of its founders. The peo- pie from all over the territory who are in sympathy with the work being done at the territorial university will favor making it grand educational institu- tion and will oppose any measure which aims to defeat the end for which the university was established. - Tucson Post.

SOUVENIR TO ROOSEVELT
Copper Horseshoe Presented by the Jerome
 Canyon Copper Company.

The Jerome Canyon Copper company has favored this office with photo- graph of the "good luck" horse shoe just sent to President Theodore Roose- welt, at Washington, D. C., by that company, receipt of which was duly acknowledged. The main body of this shoe is composed of copper, while the nail heads are of silver. The toe calk is of gold and the heel calks are of moly bdenite. The shoe is mounted on an aluminium plate, and is highly polished and beautifully engraved. On the shoe are inscribed the words, "Good Luck, President Roosevelt, " and on the aluminium plate the words, Compliments of Jerome Canyon Cop per Company of Arizona" The cop. per. gold, silver and molybdenite of which the shoe is composed were taken from the mine of this company, which is located just west of Prescott in the Mint Valley district.

If Cochise county is short on poor farms she might join with Graham county and purchase that territorial re- form school recently built, and which is a sort of white elephant, and turn il into joint poor farmifor the two coun. ties. Yayapai county already has a poor farm of it's own pretty well equipped, and it is quite certain that the taxpayers of this county do not want to be taxed for any territorial in- stitution of this kind and to pay rail road mileage for transporting its pau pers to some remote county, as we'll as contributing to their support.

Delegate Smith Scores Beveridss's Committee

George P. Dykes, of Mesa, has re- ceived the following letter from Dele. gate Marcus A. Smith, who is now at Washington
 My Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your letter and was very much enter tained with your reflections on the statehood question. The whole pur- pose of the statehood committee that came to Arizona and New Mexico was to hunt up evidence that they could distort into evidence against statehood. They were unfair and they were not honest. MT. Dillingham; has been on the floor of the senate for couple of ] days in diatribe of misrepresentation that to an honest mind is alarming. | His only excuse is that he is absolutely as ignorant of the question, and, in fact, more ignorant than if he had never taken a trip to Arizona.
 We have enough votes for the pas sage of the statehood bill in the senate but it is doubtful whether we shall ever be able to reach vote on account of the filibuster being conducted by Hale, Hanna, Aldrich, Spooner and others of that kind. All the demo- crats are solid for the bill, thank God, and we have in addition, few good lighting republicans such as Quay, Foraker, Elkins and Gallinger. They say that we shall not get vote. We say that we are determined to have it. Of course this will run up against leg islation that is of great importance and that may weaken some of our weak adherents before they are through with it, but l think not. There is talk of Roosevelt vetoiDg the bill if it passes but can hardly be- lieve this because if he does he bellies the platform on which he ran, private letters of which l have seen copies, and public statements in speeches in New Mexico. But you cannot tell what time or self interest may do to the mighty statesmen of modern times.''
