The price of silver has again ad- vanced, and it seems not improbable that 1t will go above 50 cents, unless there is an unexpected change in the situation, says an exchange. In some degree this is due to the careful hand ling of the market by the large sellers and there is also tendency to specu- late for a rise, which has given little help to the advance. In greater part. however, it is due to larger demand from the east, which is-as it has al. ways been-the great buyer of the metal.

It is fact that the copper mines of this country return larger per cent on their par value than almost any other industry. The Calumet & Hecls pays dividends equal to 16O per cent on it's par value, or almost 10 per cent on its selling price of 465. Arizona has some of the most profitable copper mines in the world, among which may be mentioned the Copper Queen, owned by Phelps, Dodge & Co.,. United Verde, Senator Olark's famous mine Calumet & Arizona, Bisbee's phenomenal young ster Arizona Copper, at Clifton. and Detroit, at Morenci. To this list will soon be added the Old Dominion, of Globe, one of the great mines of Ari- zona, which next year should produce 25.OOO, 900 pounds of copper.

A PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY

Despite the continual opening of new copper districts aud mines, as is especially the case just now Tn Ari. zona, where millions of Lake Superior money have been invested during the past two years, the price of the metal clings to an average of about 12, cents per pound, sufficient to net profit even to Michigan mines, that treat rock running less than one per cen. copper.
 The reason for the stability of the market, for change from which con ditlon there is at least no immediate prospect, is the fact that consumption Is keeping pace with the increase in production. New uses are continually found for the red metal, while the old ones are steadily broadening, so that, as statistics show, the consumption of copper is growing at tho rate of about lOO.OOO,0OO pounds of copper per year.
 In other words, it means that new Calumet & Hecla, the big mine of the Lake Superior district. is needed each year to supply needs. How long it will be possible to annually open an- other Calumet & Heca or it's eauiya- lent, is something for the future to de- termine; but it would seem that there Is little ground for worry on the part of the Michigan low grade proposi- tons, despite the new mines, with their 200 pounds of copper to the ton, being opened in Arizona, while from the standpoint of the consumer there appears no prospect of obtaining cop per much, if any, lower. The best of opiuion in the Michigan district is that the present prices will stand for some years to come. with the tendency. If marked ia any direction, upward. Mining World.

We have no sympathy with the mis- guided sentiment so common in Ari- zona favoring the pardon of criminals or the mitigation of their sentences, when they have been given fair trial and convicted on indubitable evidence. The great effort being made to save the neck of Teodoro Elias is case in point. If ever a murderer deserved hanging Elias does. The killing of Officer Katzenstein was deliberate and cowsrdly, and there were no extenu- ating circumstances whatever developed during the trial of Elias. The claim of insanity, set up at the ninth hour, to save the neck of this base murderer is pernicious, and Acting Governor Nichols, after full investigation of the case, very properly refused to in terfere, and from the information at hand, the appeal to Governor Brodie for the communication of Elias sentence to life imprisonment will be no more successful. Arizona juries and courts have, as rule, been far too lenientin assessing the punishment for murder, and as consequence the unlawful taking of human life has shown a marked increase of late years. More frequent haugings would have salu- tary effect

A MOHAVE STATESMAN

Kean St. Charles, of Mohave, gives some indications of continuing his con nection with the democratic party for some time longer. We had some req son to anticipate that the nomination of Parker and Davis for president and vice president of the United States, and the adoption of platform spurn- ing populism, socialism, anarchy and all other isms, would induce MT. St. Charles to return to the party whence he came but it seems he has con cluded to swallow the dose. We had schooled ourselves to bear the depart ure of MT. St. Charles from the demo- cratic party with Christian resignation, and, in fact, were prepared to give him joyous send-of and to congratu- late the Phoenix Republican on the re- turn of the wanderer to the old fold but Kean St. Charles has climbed on the Parker band wagon and we must grin and bear it.
 St. Charles announces that he desires to be member of the Arizona legisla tive couucil--an Arizona senator, in fact. He says that he seeks the office as democrat-God save the mark and no doubt it is the appearance of a democratic majority in Mohave county that makes tue Parker band wagon at- tractive to Mir. St. Charles.
 | The band wagon is vehicle dear to the heart of the average politician. To get in it he would leave custom seated, rubber tired buggy. He would aban- don an automobile to chase it. He has been known to deliberately jump of the water wagon and chase the band wagon for blocks.

He denounced the men who supported Parkers nomination aud ultimately achieved 1t, us enemies of the human race and corrupt vassals of the money power. St Charles does not support Parker and Davis because they are ex ponents of democratic principles, be cause St Charles huns Is not dem ocrst, never was dem crat and wou have to be born again in order to achieve the power of abs Irbing democratic principles.
