The Hearst people are making stren- uous efforts in number of states to capture the delegations to the demo- cratic national convention, and while the movement appears to be gaining in a few states, in others it is losing ground. It is not probable that Mir. Hearst will secure majority of the delegation from any of the eastern or middle states with the exception of Rhode Island. Mir. Hearst's friends in those states will, therefore, endesvor to secure the repudlation of the unit rule, in the hope of gaining a good many scattered delegates. At the pres snt writing it seems far from probable that Mir. Hearst will be able to secure third of the delegates to the St. Louis convention.

"Again comes the semi annual com plnint of the damage done to the cattle interests by the sheep tramping from the valley feeding grounds to their summer ranges of the north, through Gila county" says the Southwestern Stockman. Tt is admitted that dam age IS done and that means to prevent it should be adopted, but the question is, how? We would suggest that the cattlemen of Gila county join the Ari- zoDa Cattle Growers association, to a man, and enlist the aid of the associa- tion to a peaceful solution of the ques- ton which is making life burden to tlem. We have seen the results and know that the statements are not based on imagination.

GREATvALUE OF COPPER OUTPUT

Few people realize that copper min ing far sarpasses that of either gold or silver, says an exchange. The output of the copper mines exceeds that of gold in value by nearly Sl5,000, 900. As dividend payers it has long been recognized that some of the big copper properties are without equals.
 It takes more capital and time to put big copper producer in the dividend list, but h most of the gigantic under takings, with the aim of developing greater copper mines, the returns were marvellous.
 As to hefuture of copper the leading authorities declare that there is little ground for anything but good expecta- tions if the metal can be produced at reasonable cost. Demand keeps pace with the supply and new discoveries do not more than outweigh the in- creased use of the red metal.
 The growth in the use of copper in the last few years has scarcely found parallel iu any industry, which fact is due largely on account of this being an age of electricity.

THE TONTO ROAD BOOSTERS

At this writing, no report of the mass meeting to boom the so-ealled Vonto road, that was to have been held ,n Tuesday evening in the Doris the ter, Phoenix, has come to hand, but is not difficult to picture the animated ceue, the optimism of the distin- ;uished speakers, and the harmony and ,nthusissm that prevailed among the ,ood citizens of Phoenix, Tempe and desa, who thronged the auditorium. f there was anyone present opposed O the bond issue he would hardly laye the temerity to attempt to give oppression to his views, if, indeed, he would be permitted to.
 While the Phoenix newspapers that ire boosting the proposition declare hat sentiment in favor of voting the ponds is practically unanimous, busi- less man we'll acquainted in Phoenix, md who is a close observer, informs us that opinion on the road question is greatly divided, and gives it as his opinion that the proposition to issue ponds for the construction of road to he dsmsite will be defeated.
 We do not hesitate to say that the acts in regard to the proposed road nave been misrepresented to the peo- ole of the valley towns-as to the cost ,f building road over the mountain hat would be practicable for heavy reigbting, and the value of such a highway to the farmers and business interests of Salt river valley. Neither 10 we accept Engineer Hills statement IS quoted by the Phoenix Republican, hat "the government will pay any de- iciency beyond the s75, 900 which the Talley towns are asked to contribute, should the cost of the road exceed that figure" The government does not propose to pay any part of the cost of providing irrigation works, but ex- poets to be reimbursed for every dollar expended in that behalf.
 The proposed Tonto road would be Tor the conyenience of the uovarnmant engineers, for the financial benefit, more than likely, of few promoters snd in the interest of the Santa Fe railroad, but it is certain that the great majority of tie taxpayers of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa would never derive any substantial benefit from the,project. In supporting the bond issue they would simply be voting an additional mortgage on their property.

The war displtches es from T1kio and
 from Japanese sources elsewhere co n
 firm the reputation of the Japs as the greatest liars on earth. They have had Port Arthur either bottled up or captured every week for the past month or more, yet the latest authentic ad- vices are to the effect that the flag of the Russians is still there, and that the garrison has been strengthened, aud the port reprovisioned. The last attempt at bottling by the Japs was humiliating failure. in which the four vessels with which they essayed to block the entrance to the harbor were beached and their fotilla of torpedo boats compelled to withdraw. Since the first torpedo attack upou the Rus. sian fleet at Port Arthur and the de- struction of the Variag and Korietz, which after most gallant fight against great odds, were blown up by orders of their own commanders, the Japan ese naval forces have accomplished iittle, except to shoot away several million dollars wo rth of ammunition.

THE SHOOT INVESTIGATION

There can be no doubt but that the disclosures made in the Shoot investi. gation regarding the continuance of polygsmous practices among the apos ties of the Mormon church has had a very damaging effect on Mir. Shoots chances of being permitted to take his seat as United States senator from Utah. Not that Mr. Shoot, himself, is a polygamist, but he being one oi the twelve rulers of the Mormon church, and never having protested against the polygamous relations main tiined by his associates, his opponents maintain that he may be justly charged with conniving at violation of the law, and it will perhaps be on the score of such constructive connivance that his expulsion from the senate will be demanded.
 The other ground upon which he may be debarred is that the evidence given before the committee of the sen. ate has shown that a Mormon apostles obligation to comply with the mandates of his church is recognized by him ss superior to his obligation to obey the constitution and laws of tbe United States.
 The investigation is to be resumed next week, but the general opinion seems to be that final action in Mir. Shoots case will be delayed, foi obvious reasons, until after the presi- dential election.

Our special advices bring the news that in the primaries held in the i'm, p )rtant counties of New York yester day the results insure the state for Judge Alton B. Parker, and the dele gation to the democratic national con vention will, without doubt, go in structed for him. This will give Judg, Parker great prestige, and will, in al probability, influence other states to declare for him. When Judge Parker was first named for the nomination the SILVER BELT contended that he was the most available candidate for the democratic nomination, and it is grati. flying to note his growing strength and popularity. Judge Parker is a man of fine attainments and high character, and his nomination would insure New York, and probably other states classed as doubtful, to the democrats. We hope to sec Judge Parker nominated at St. Louis.

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL. EDU.
 CATION

In no pursuit in life is the technic. ally educated young man afforded bet ter opportunities to apply the knowl- edge gained in the university, or wher- ever he may have acquired it, than in the industry of mining and metallurgy.
 If two young men start for them- selves upon career in mine, mill or shelter, the one with several years practical experience at one place under direction, the other with little or no practical experience, but with tech nical education as a foundation, tbe the race will be at first altogether in favor of the former; but not for long, for within a few months the advantages possessed by the latter, who is untram- meled by preoonoeived and possibly erroneous ideas, and has not fallen into a groove, as it were, is enabled to see clearly and to adapt some method, known to him in theory, to condition which for the first time confronts him in practice. During the first year of the race the student gradually over takes his more experienced neighbor, and during the second year the former has become the better and more valua- ble man.
 There are practical men who have had good opportunity at some mine, and they have mastered its every de- tail; but should it become necessary to go elsewhere. after years of service at the one place and with little or no knowledge of the conditions and meth ods at some other, the practical man, thrown now on his own resources, must go back and "learn it all over again in new and, to him, untried and unheard of way. He attempts the old and peculiar schemes used so sue cessfully at home and finds to his sur prise that they are inapplicable to the new condition. Here, the young man with the technical Knowledge, but with fewer years of experience, forges ahead. ae promptly recognizes condition of which he has heard or read, and he knows the remedy to apply with the best chances for success. Should the first attempt fail, he tries another method, for he is versatile and is not limited to the one method known only to those whose experience has confined them to the rut.
 In metallurgy, particularly. is this true. for the diversity of ores is much greater than the peculiarities of mines. If man once learns the principles of mining and learns them properly he can apply this knowledge anywhere iu the world, but the millman and sm slter requires more diversified knowledge than the man who removes the ore from the vein or deposit Mining and Scientific Press.

If the democratic nomination for president could be bought, w. R. Hearst would stand very good chance )f securing the prize, but it would vail him little if he did, as his elec- ion would be impossible. If it were ,ver possible that a political party ,ould be so debauched, it would de- erve, not only to be defeated, but for 'ver damned. It requires something nore than money in an aspirant to ;ain recognition as an available candi- late for the highest office in the gift of be American people.

of each, help nature in bringing forth

One of his achievements is the

That a vast Antarctic continent ex-
lists perhaps twice as large as that of
Europe would seem to be proved by the
reports now appearing of the recent
explora tions in that region The An1eri-
can Commander Wilkes, returning from
the far south in 1871, asserted the ex-
istence of a vast south polar continent,
and described his voyage of 1,500 miles
in sight of the coast. Ross, however,
returning soon after, discredited Wilkes
conclusions, saying that the land seen
by Wilkes was merely a great wall of
ice. The world has been in doubt which
to believe. That Ross was wrong and
Wilkes right is very evident from the
report of Captain Scott of the British
Antarctic expedition of 10000. Cap
tain Scott shows that the mass of ice
seen by Ross is in reality an extensive
glacier resting on land and covering
the land like the ice cap of Greenland.
The glacier is about 700 miles wide, and
reaches the sea through a plain lying
between Victoria Land and Edward VII
Land. The German expedition under
Won Drygalski, working so degrees of
longitude farther west, also found a
somewhat similar expanse of ice cap
ped land, whose limits they were un-
able to trace, but which is apparently
a part of the same antactic continent.

the flower very valuable for cutting.
AS each Individual bloom may attain
diameter of over four inches, the
effect produced by thousands may be
more easily imagined than described.
Of late years much of the best ex-
perimenta1 work on fruit and veg
etables has been done in America by
the bureau of plant industry in the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington. The laboratory of plant
breeding, under the charge of DR..
Herbert J. Weber, has been respon-
sible for many distinct novelties. DR..
Weber collaborates with Mr.. Walter
G. Swingle. Among their successes
may be mentioned a new grapefruit.
or shaddock. a cross between the kid
glove orange or tangerine with the
ordinary grapefruit. Another success
is a new orange which grows in a,
northern climate, yet possesses a pal
atable flavor. They have grown pine
apples with thornless leaves, a distinct
boon to the pineapple picker of the
future. They have also produced a
cherry tree upon which fifty or sixty
cherries can be grown in a single
bunch. The seedless grape, obtained
from the muscat of Alexandria, is
their handiwork, and was the result
of the selection year after year of
cuttings from those vines which pro-
duced less than the normal number of
SeedS-StraQd.
