THE prospector, the newspaper and the promoter are the leading factors in the up=building of a mining dis trict. The prospector makes the dis covery, the newspaper advertises his find to the world, and the promoter interests capital to develop the prop erty. They are all essential in their various spheres, and without them the country would remain unproduct- i've. Of the three the promoter comes in for the most abuse, and as a gen. eral thing it is undeserved The pro- moter. like the prospectOr, is an en- thusIast. and it is well that he is. for no man can talk up an enterprise in which he lacks faith The mining sections of the west owe much to the promoter. If property turns out well he makes but little out of it. If it is failure he is held responsible for it. His life is full of cares, and he is often more deserving of sympathy than censure.

halfwitted fellow who came here from the Sacramento mountains in New Mexico, were the only persons who
 had double teams. One Of the mer- chants of the town hired his buggy to
 the postmaster but as he had no team,
 the postmaster hired the fakirs team,
 who later agreed with the poor inn
 beetle that if the inspector needed d team d second day they would make him pay the price Of the team for it's hire. The postmaster then hired d single horse and buggy from another merchant, and finished up the can vassing. Duncan being only five miles from the New Mexico line, it is a very convenient jumping-ulf place for those people, who cannot stay in New Mex ico, but we are not going to have those people come in here and saddle their ill savor on us. We will own we have some sins Of our own to answer for, but we must not be expected to carry those Of people beyond our own ter ritory. The people Of Duncan will compare very favorably with those O. any place of its size anywhere in the United States, and when anything disreputable See1rs here pinty-niue times in one hundred it is by people from New Mexico, and of the Hitter ate, disreputable and uncivilized peo- pie that have come from the Sacra- mento mountains in New Mexico.
 The Liberal makes a strong point Of the public road being fenced. which is also quite correct. The public road on both sides of the river are fences in New Mexico, and instead Of being 2 gates to go through as the Liberal re ports, there were ,, all in New Mexico .A a hne most forcibly to the lack of progress in the Richmond precinct is the lIch Of schools. The district is about l5 mics long and has one school. The Arizona part ot the valley with no greater population has six.
 The Liberal is also of on the politi- cal representation. There are six good Republicans in the Duncan precinct. while in the New Mexico precinct for more than a quarter of century. Uncle Billy Wilson WIS the lone one. do not want to be understood to say there are no progressive people in the New Mexico precinct. There are some of as good people in it as can found in frontier country, and people who would be credit to any country any where, but Is is a case Of where good ! for nothing minority of about ? per cent, though not ruling the majority, 1 are able to impede progress.

DON KEDZIE ROUNDED UP.
A Correspondent Gives Him Few Facts
 To CO9itate Over.

The Lordsburg Liberal in it's last issue indulged in some very drastic criticisms of Duncan. IL also grew
 funny over the meetings that were
 held in Graham county, Arizona. last
 week protesting against the proposed admission Of New Mexico and Ari- zona as one state. l. stated the post office department was wondering what kind of people were in the vicinity Of Duncan that would turn down rural free delivery. The people of Duncan are wondering over the same thing and l will show the Liberal it has thrown boomerang and in endeavor- ing to ridicule this place, has shown up its own territory and furnishes a very good reason why Arizona does not want to be a patch on the brooches of New Mexico.
 For the Liberals information I will state that the proposed rural route was for the larger part in New Mex ico, and it was the people of its own territory of New Mexico. and parties who had lately moved from the be : nighted territory into Arizona and had not been here sufficient length of time to become inbued with civil iZed ideas, who turned down the rural free delivery. Sixteen people re- fused to patronize the service, and of these ten were in New Mexico Of the six in Arizona. three were about to move away, one said it would be nearer for him to go to town than go tO the public road for his mail. and the other two were men from New Mexico, who had not yet grasped the conveniences Of civilization and as one of them said, "I don't see where it is going to do me any good, l have t0 come to town every day anyway which is true. This man tolls not, neither does he spin. yet. by the grace Of the people or Duncan, he draws more cash from it than the hard work ing sons of toll, who farm their own land. This party is also regular reader of the LOrdsburg Liberal, hut as he has lately become a subscriber to the Copper Era. we have hopes that he will eventually learn his duty as citizen, and imbibe some ideas that will extend beyond himself. and will learn to not place himself in antago- nism to a movement that will benefit every person in the community, though 1t may not immed lately come in the shape Of cash in hand. Re garding the report that the people Of the town were hostile to the move- ment that comes from the special agents hearing a part of a conversa- ton between the postmaster and q travelling fakir from Albuquerque. who travels with a green top wagon and makes carictures of people and call them photos.

Henry Merton & O., of London, state in their last circular that scarcity Of supplies for early delivery and the constant deple- tion O. the European stock, which are now a mere remnant, remain the salient features, and it is not surpris- ing in view Of this almost critical state of affairs to find that the short interest is anxious to cover its com

prosperous subdivision of the United States, and it has a brilliant future
 New Mexico is an oriental empire, sadly deficient in energy It is a dreamy land of tomorrow, whose citizens are satisfied with its restful condition. The strenuous citizens of \ rizona do not wish to awaken their neighbors from their repOse of cen turies. Theirs is life of ideal rest, while Arizona is young, vigorous and full of vim. A merging of interest would be like unto the wedding Of May and December. from the union of which only discord and bitterness could result. Arizona has absolutely nothing to gain by mergering with New Mexico. but she has everything to lose. It would be far better for her to remain as territory forever than to be joined in an unholy alliance from which she might never be able to escape.

DUNCAN D0INGS.

DUNCAN, Ariz., Feb. ,, 1901 John Clay Is about the only one in Dun can that has taken any interest in the new gold strike, having purchased a | fine hack and team to be run every Oth- CT day to the new strike, leaving Duncan at 9:3O q. m. arriving at the new camp l at 3:3O D. m, leaving there at $40 d. m. arriving in Duncan at 3:20 D. m., SO parties wishing to take run Oat to the new camp can depend on Mir. Clay as doing just what he says he will do. We think Mr. Clay has struck the key note, a. parties wishing to examine the new strike will have some accom- modations when they reach Duncan, otherwise if they stop of at the Pitts siding they will be compelled to go dry until they reach Clifton, Hong time between drinks, eh."
 The gold strike we speak Of has not commenced yet. Just wait until they get down few feet more and Cripple Creek won't be in 1t, as she never had the showing on the surface as this has for your writer had the pleasure of be- ing on the ground few days ago, and saw one of the parties interested in the property take out a rock as large as a goose egg that was full of free gold and only at a depth of two feet from the surface, having just commenced his assessment work on the claims. So there is no telling what he will find at ten feet. So we claim that this i, bound to make a big camp in the near future-Just what we have argued for the last two years.

Among the most promising claims in the district are those Of w. E. Laskey and J. G. Keppler adjoining the prop critics Of the Copper King and the Markeen companies. There are six claims in the group and development work has heen commenced on three and from the showing on two of them it is evident that the same immense copper deposits that lay all through the Greenlee district undoubtedly ex- tends through these claims. Mr. Keppler has moved out to the camp in order to give his entire attention to the development work.-El Obrero.

DURING the present week every cent oi the outstanding indebtedness of the territory of Arizona will be called in and paid off and therc will still be more than S200,OO cash on hand with the treasurer Arizona is doubtless in better financial con- dition than any other state or terri tory in the Union. New Mexico is badly in debt, just how much the ERA is not now prepared to state. In a merger of the two territories, the citizens of Arizona would therefore saddle themselves with heavy in- debtedness, which would be a great injustice to them, and which they will not stand for. In fact the people of Arizona are now, and always will be bitterly opposed to a merger with New Mexico. Arizona is the most
