CALUMET & HEcLA.

The Calumet & HecIa company has an extensive mine on the Osceola lode, located a few hundred feet eastward of the main line on the Calumet con glomerate. says the Marquette Min ing Journal. The Osceola branch was opened a number of years ago during the I7-ceat copper market. but was closed down in 1901 About this time last year the company decided to re- sume work in No. 13 shaft. the south srnmost opening of the Osceola branch, and operations have been car ried forward steadily at that point since the date cf resumption, the pro duction from that source averaging 800 tons of rock daily. It is under stood that the results from No. F have been very encouraging. and no doubt the successful operations there have induced the company to open No. 16 once more.
 There are five shafts opened on the ] Calumet & Hecla's Osceola branch. All have been sunk to depths averag- ing from HOO to 1.700 feet and up wards of thirty miles of lateral and connecting openings have been driven on the various levels. The resump-
 ton of operations at No. 13 about a year ago resulted in the addition oi nearly five hundred men to the work ling force, and it is presumed that full,
 as many. if not more. men will be lgiven employment at No. 16 shaft lwhen operations there are in ful
 blast. This will make one thousand new men added to the force of thu
 Calumet & Hecla Mining compan. alone during the past twelve months D In addition many hundreds of mel
 have been added to the forces of otl
 CT mines in the Michigan peninsul ? and upwards of two thousand men vi
 be employed during the summer

ARIZONA. A sTATE.

Statehood is the topic. along with reclamation. that in Arizona is dis cussed most warmly in speeches and the common talk of men. The Arizona people believe that they are ready for statehood, but they are so yehem- ently opposed to-being tackled on to New Mexico that they are quite will ing to let the whole matter of state hood drop for the present. provided that they can be ie; a-ole 70 TorR out the matter for themselves, and prove to the whole country, with their new reclamation works and the gen eral development that these are bound to bring about slcas every line, that they deserve statehood. This general hostility to amalgamation with New Mexico is intense. Pride is SO strong that young men lately from the east talk like southerners before the war about their state" The residents be- lieve almost universally that in terri tory Arizona is already large enough, and we have before expressed our reasons for agreeing with them on this point. as well as generally in their contentiou.-Colliers, July 1, 1905

Here's to a glorious Fourth. A LOVELY PAIR.

The Phoenix Enterprise makes ! strenuous denial of the allegation that there is anything but the most divine love and affection existing be tween the capital city and the old pueblo on the banks of the Santa Cruz. and hands the city of Tucson a bouquet that should make the editol of the Star hang his head in shame The following is from the last issue of the Enterprise:
 "The territorial papers have consid erable to say about a supposed rivalr, between Tucson and Phoenix. The Enterprise knows of no such feeling The press and the people of Phoenix have nothing but the most kindll feeling for Tucson. Both are prosper ous. growing cities, with no possible conflict of interest We trust that the Star will quit its silly attempt to mis lead the public into it's belief that there is a bad feeling between the communities mentioned, as no such ,oeling exists. The people of Phoenix ~Ie proud of Tucson and it's splendid commercial and business enterprise. Tucson is to Arizona what San Fran cisco is to California Arizona's civil ization was born on the banks of the santa Cruz. and the pioneers who blazed the trail to territorial freedom and emancipation from savagery came from the old pueblo We are proud of Tucson. proud of her history and her achievements. proud of her sturdy citizens who fought civiliza. lions battles away back in the misty past We don't care whether she has l5.00O or 10000 population. or whether she is twice or six times as big as Phoenix.

THE MINING AND CATTLE
 oUSTRY THREATENED.

t-hS tOiAoNiAS IFOIN the tucson Ut
 ! proves that the board of equaliza-
 } is attempting to double the tax. wealth of the territory by throw. -7 the burden onto the eattlegrowers and the miners, who are already as. sessed fifty per cent more on the valu. ation of their property than the rail roads.
 The board of supervisors of Pima county nave received a demand rom the Territorial auditor for certified copies of the depulicate assessment roll The board of supervisors in every other county in the territory have received similar requests. These duplicates are desired for the terri torial board of equalization which will look into the valuation of cattle and mining properties throughout the ter ritory. The board thinks that these saluations. especially in the case of sle big cattlemen and the mines; have Den far too low. They hope, by a 9reful scrutiny of the assessment SSlls of the various counties to in Lease the total valuation of the tax able property in the territory by fifty per cent. Heretofore the board of equalization has been furnished only with abstracts from the assessment rolls which contained all the general information and allowed the board no means for judging accurately"
 The board. after letting the big railroads down for one-half the amount they should be assessed, will still further punish the people by in- creasing the value of their cattle and mines fifty per cent. or in fact, more than that, because it is proposed to increase the total valuation of tax able property in the territory by fifty per cent" Inasumch as the value of the railroads was not increased, this statement can only mean that the property of the cattleman and miner must be increased four or five times
 order to make the general in
 ase of property in the territory
 al to a fifty per cent raise over last
 r.
 IS the Era understands the law, tine board of equalization has no right to fix the valuation of mining prop erty. The duty of the board is merely to equalize taxes. It is true that the board has the right to fix the price at which cattle and other live stock shall be assessed, but it is not in a position to judge as to the value of mining property. It may be that some of the nining companies have been assessed too low, but it should be re membered that it is the mining com panies, and not the railroads, that give employment to labor in Arizona It is the mining companies that have made a market for Arizona products Without the mines the farmer and the ranchman would be compelled tC shut up shop and if favors are tC be shown to any class, the mining companies, that made it possible fol people to live in Arizona, should b. given first consideration They are ln a sense, manufacturers. and are th' bone and sinew of the country The. should be made to contribute thei Just proportion teward maintainin the government, but they should no be held up and shook down" by a alleged hoard of equalization that ha failed to do it's duty in fixing a prope valuation on railroads.-Copper Er;

Some Incidents In the Life Of This
Noted English Fop.
An English paper prints a number of
stories of Beau Brummel, some Of
which perhaps are not generally
known. At the Pavilion, at Brighton,
he ordered the footman to empty his
snuffbox into the fire because a bishop
had taken pinch unasked. A man
whom he had met at dinner offered
him a lift In his carriage to Lady Jer-
eey's ball "Thank you exceedingly"
said the Beau, "but how are you to go?
You would not like to get up behind,
and cannot be seen In the same car
riage with you" He made no secret
of his humble birth and when asked
about his parents declared that 1.-The
poor old creatures both cut their
Threats years ago eating peas with
knife" Once ut least Brummel met
his match. He was playing hazard at
Brooks, when a well known alderman,
a brewer, was one of the party.
"Come, Mashtub," said Brummel, who
was the caster, whats your setT
Twenty five guineas," was the reply.
"well, then. have at the mayors pony"
said Brummel, who proceeded to cast,
and by run of luck won the stake
twelve times in succession. Pocketing
the money, he thanked the brewer and
promised that in future he would drink
no ones porter but his. II wish, sill"
replied the brewer, that every other
BLACKBOARD in London would tell me
the same"
