The Shame of It.

Assuming that the taxpayers of Arizona are not capable of knowing their own minds. the republicans must import speakers from abroad. and must have dirty maligning papers published 600 miles away attempting to instruct our people in the principles of self government. Can Arizona expect single statehood from a party that does not consider her people capable of carrying on local election3
 For shame, that Geo. H. Maxwell, d man of such tnsullied character: q man whose unfaltering labor for the arid west has made his name known and loved from the Rockies to the Pacific: man whose ability and earnestne-s of purpose in his work for the bctterment of mankind has made him the idol of thousands on our great western plains: q man of pure thought and high ideal. who saw more to admire in the little cottage, with the vines growing over the door way and the path leading out into the field where the suns pure rays turned the wheat to golden and the grapes to purple. then in the Haunted elegance of gilded city palace, for shame. we say. that the head greed should drag Geo. H. Maxwell from his higher plane down to the shoals and shadows occupied by such clam my. slimy politicians as the Tlo sword Colonel of the Los Angeles Time. Bulletin.
 Surely the editor of the Bulletin did not hear Mir. Maxwell's speech or he would not have printed the fore going editorial. Mr. Maxwell dis tinctly stated that he was not paid for his services in Arizona, and was making the campaign solely for the , ..5oii t,i;,- cne eiection 6f M4: slf. -Fow- Ter would be of great assistance to him in the work which he was doing for Arizona. This then. removes the hand of greed, of which the Bulle- tin complains. After all that MT. Maxwell has done for the west in the way of irrigation, his integrity in the matter cannot be questioned. He is certainly in d better position to judge of the matter than the editor of the Bulletin, who has been in the territory but d few weeks. Nlr. Max well takes the sensible position that d man who is in sympathy with the administration can do more for Arizona than one who is not only op- posed to it, but who is fighting it on every turn. It is simply q common sense. business proposition. It is q matter which every voter should con- sider carefully and decide for them Sp Ives

A Successful Shelter.

The Richardson Bros. who own the La Bufa copper mines in Sonora, about l60 miles westward from Min aca, this state. have solved the smell ter problem by d 30-ton reverbera- tory copper furnace built on the ground out of silica bricks. and using dry oak wood for fuel Davis Rich ardson. president of the La Bufa Mining & Milling company. who spent d part of last week in this city. i> % enthusiastic over the sue cess of the plant that he doe, not hesitate to say that many similar plants will be established in the Sierra Madrcs in tine near future. His company k putting up another 3o-tOn plant. the Cicneguita Copper company, i, putting up 5o-ton fur nacea, and other companies in So- nora are considering putting them up.
 The Richardson Bros. had been shipping their high grade ore out l6O miles on mules to the railroad up to three years ago. They then en- ployed Edwin NJ. Clark, an expert shelter man from Butte, Montana to come to La Bufa and solve the problem for them. He did so by means of an experimental plant of 3-ton capacity, and for two years past they had the 5-ton plant in operation. MT. Clark is under q f,s-year contract with the company.
 This piant turns out 3 tons of 45 to 3' per -,sts copneE--mafte sor every
 .arl oS ore. Its method ot Oper- .ta is so simple that it can be or atcd by anyone, thus dispensing with a skilled shelter man.
 The La Bufa people use only one American to q shift. It requires an American cord of dry oak wood to the ton of ore. It can run q charge containing as high as 55 per cent. silica while the upright smclters can not run over D per cent. The loss by this plant k about I per cent. of the silver and d small fraction of l per cent. of the copper.
 The brick, which are made on the ground. are composed of pure non- mineral bearing quartz with one fourth of clay. Everything about the furnace is made right there cX- ccpt the iron work. Air from the compressors k used instead of blower.
 The Cotton furnace now being built k similar to the one mentioned and is }6 feet long and l2 feet wide. It will cost between Sl2,ooO and $l3.000 Mexican money, excepting the stack which the company has for the present plant. This stack is about il0 feet long. running up hill. It has four dust chambers. Mir. Rich ardson says the stack is the prinCi- pal cost of q plant. Small plants can he made of adobes if lined with fire brick. .-C Chihuahua Enterprise.

 The Anniston Rifles were organized in 1887 and have been considered very efficient company during their time. The removal of Captain Mcconnell to Tennes- see and Second Lieutenant Cheney to Chepultepec along with the resignation of First Lieutenant Dill, left the com pany without a commissioned officer. On the arrival of the inspectors Sergeant Crook turned over all equipment and the company was no more.
 In 1898 the company volunteered as a body for the SpanishAmerican war, but since being mustered out of the volun- teer service little interest has been taken Another company will be mustered in here to take the place of Company D.

CuIIman Politics.

J. D. Searcy of Cullman: No frauds were practiced in the recent primary in Cullman county. It Is true a few popu- lists and republicans did participate, but Judge Fuller received as many if not more populist and republican votes than MT. Burke. Judge Fuller Is very sore over his defeat. The republicans held their convention in Cullman county Saturday following the primary. and between the count on Thursday and convention on Saturday Judge Fuller wrote to various republican delegates, asking them to nom- mate one of two certain men for probate judge, and pledged them 450 votes if they would do so. On Saturday he made an effort to carry out that deal, and the re- publicans refused to nominate his man.
 "One Sunday evening the democratic nominee for circuit clerk died. and Judge Fuller's oldest son, Asa. became a candi- date for the place, and in order to induce the Burke following into supporting his son, Judge Fuller filed contest and seeks to hold this over Burxe's friends to the end that if they support his son, he will drop the matter and as proof of this fact Judge. Fuller has taken no steps to perpetuate his contest.
 People in Cullman are not being dis turbed thereby, and we are sorry that tine state democracy has even taken notice of it."

FOUNDRYMAN WAS BURNED.
LadIe Of Motion Iron Is Turned Over
 On Him.

Ed Allen. a foundryman, was badly burned yesterday afternoon by molten iron In a foundry at East Birmingham. He was carried to his home in Woodlawn, where physicians attended him. His arms and hands are severely burned, and his head badly burned.
 It seems that he was walking with a ladle of iron in the foundry, and tripped and fell over a mould. The iron fell on his back, but his shirt was so thick 1t protected him, and the iron ran down on his head, burning some of the hair off. His hands and arms were burned worse than any other part of his body. Physi- clans were summoned and he was taken home, where everything possible was done to relieve his pain.
