It seems to be the prevailing opinion that the appointment of a governor to succeed Gov A. o. Brodie will not be made until ahe latter gentleman goes east for the inauguration of President Roosevelt. It is probable that Major Brodie's endorsement will have great weight with the president in making the appointment, and for that reason Judge E. W. Wells, of Prescott, a warm personal friend of Major Brodie, IS regarded by many as the probable nominee, although his appointment would most likely be opposed by the Murphys and their influential packers at Washington. A man who is not much identified witt either faction of the Arizona republicans, and who has all the qualifications needed to make a good chief executive for Arizona, is W. F. Nichols, the present territorial secretary. In our opinion Mir. Nichols is the best man yet named for the place.

The elimination of Arizona from the joint statehood bill as it passed the United States senate on Tuesday, is certainly ciuse for rejoicing. How ever, the narrow margin of one vote by which this territory was relieved from the provision of jointure with New Mexico shows that the plot of Senator Beyeridge and his partisan
 followers was well laid, and would have undoubtedly succeeded had it not been for the strenuous opposition of the people of Arizona Delegate J. F.
 Wilson and Delegate-elect Mark Smith both deserve the fullest measure of credit for their effective work in be- half of Arizona's future autonomy and at the same time we are not unmindful of the assistance rendered by our re- publican allles, both in and out of con gress. We do not share the appre- hension felt at Phoenix, as voiced by our correspondent, that the possible failure of the house of representatives
 concur in the senate amendments, may again place Arizona in jeopardy.

It is only at such times as the pres ent when we are deprived of the daily newspaper and other sonrces of in- formation from the outside world, that we realize our dependence upon the regular operation of the railroads and mail service. Fifteen or twenty years ago when we depended almost entirely upon stages as a means of communion tion, and when the business of gather ing and distributing news had not been developed to anything like it's present high efficiency, it was deemed no great hardship to be without mail for a week. Since then, however, there has been such growth of civilization and progress in the arts and sciences, that we have been brought into touch with the most remote quarters of the globe, through the medium of the telegraph ih conjunction with the metropolitan newspapers, which have now become an almost necessary part of our daily regimen. THE SILVER BELT has en- deavored to at least partially satisfy this demand for news in the present exigency and presents in it's special telegrams printed on the first page of this issue brief summary af import ant news, general as well as territorial, which We hope our local readers will appreciate.

The Arizona railroads have adopted liberal policy as to rates for the in- terchange of ores between the differ ent camps, necessary for the proper smelling mixtures, and as result tue development of the resources of that section has been undoubtedly advanced. For example, the Globe district finds good market for its infasible lean oxidized ore in the BIsbee district, where this product is used as converter lining; and. on the other hand, the Copper Queen and other mines trIbu. tary to the Southern Pacific ship the sulphur ores to the Globe district, where this character of ore is as yet scarce. MT. James Douglas, whose dictum on matters relating to the southwest is always considered as reli- able, in recent article comments on this adjustment of transportation rates, and wonders whether law endowing a central bureau in Washington with rate making power will aid or retsrd such movement, which depends for it's helpful application upon intimate knowledge of local conditions There seems to be no reason why such q central bureau could not be easily edu- cated on these local points and if these matters are referred to an independent rate making body it is likely that the mining interests would be treated fairly.

la an interview in New York paper, John Hays Hammond says; "The possibilities of the mining industry are better appreciated every year, as the actual returns secured from prior operations demonstrate the profitable ness of the venture. Today greater care than was formerly the case is ex- ercised in choosing properties for de- velopment, so that the risk involved may be reduced to minimum; and mining engineers have more regard for the commercial aspects of mining than heretofore. They are learning to dis criminate between the socalled gilt edge mining proposition and one of q more speculative character. In the former class of mining the expert aims to be assured of the certainty of the capital invested being returned with a reasonable rate of interest. In mines belonging to the speculative class there is, of course, greater risk of losing the capital invested, but far greater returns in the way of profit iu case the investment turns out favorably. Either of these classes of mining Is perfectly legitimate, bat in the pros pectuses of the company, the category under which the investment is made should be fully stated to the investor !" This eminent authority very properly points ont the fact that the commer- cial side of mining is coming to be of more consideration with the mining engineer, and that the public is look ing for reasonable security in mining investments as in other investments. The results of these conditions will be to place the mining industry on more legitimate and certain basis and hence to increase It's operations and profits

The proposition for the establish ment of branch prison in some coun- ty of the territory far removed from Yuma is without merit, and in line with the pernicious policy of multiplying public institutions and widely distrib uting them that the biennial footing of the territorial treasury may be more easily accomplished. The prison at Yuma should be enlarged and im- proved in it's appointments to meet the growing demands upon such a penal institution in Arizona.

Its future as populous center of industry is assured, and steps should be taken at once for it's better regula' tion. The need of town government is apparent to those who have the well fare of the community at heart, and property owners and business men should unite in an early movement look tng to incorporation.

We believe joint statehood for this ter ritory is dead and cannot be galvan- ized into semblence of life. State.
 hood is not essential to the progress and welfare of Arizona. There IS no political division of the great west that is making more rapid advancement
 than this territory and statehood will come in due time when we are better prepared to undertake elf-government.

GRAND OPERA CHORUS
 SINGERS FORM A UNION
BOTH MEN AND WOMEN GO INTO THE NEW ORGANI-
 EATON

Stars Not Taken as Members-No
 ''Kick" Coming From Them as to
 Their Salaries-They Go Back and
 Forth 70 Europe and the Union is
 After the Chorus Workers Who Are
 Recruited Principally in New York
 Ballet Dancers Also to Organize.
 New York, Dec. 17.-Under the aus pices of the Actors National Protective union, it was announced to-day, a union of grand opera singers, including both men and women, has been formed here with 182 members. The union consists of the members of the chorus, some of whom, 1t is averred by the oftl- cers of the union, came from the Met ropolitan opera house. In making re- port on the organization of this union yesterday William Barry, general or ganizer of the Actors Protective union, said: .s
 We don't expect the stars to be in the union. Anyway, there is no kick coming from them as to their salaries, Besides they don't remain here but go back and forth between here and Flu rope. We are after the members of the chorus, who are recruited principally from New York"
 The union of opera singers, Mr. Bar ry said, will be known as local No. IA, of the Actors Protective union, having a charter from. the American Fedora ton of Labor. Among its members will be people of all nationalities, principal ly German, French, English and ,Ital- ian singers. n .*.. s.4
 Since the opera singers union was formed, Marry. said, he has been in- undated with letters from the ballet dancers who want to form union. A union of ballet dancers is, therefore, to be formed.

PRES. MORTON APPEALS
 TO THE POLICY HOLDERS
THEIR AID ASKED IN PREYRNT- ING ADVERSE LEGIS-
 LAYTON.

Circular Sent Out to Every State in the
 Union - Equitable's Head Declares
 That "YOu Cannot Give Men Charac-
 ter Flor Make Them Honest by Pre-
 anbIe, Resolution or Enactment''--
 What the Business Needs Above Everything is Character and Honesty.
 New York, Dec. 17.-An appeal to poll ieyholders in all the states of the Union to. lend their assistance in preventing adverse legislation is made by President Paul Morton, of the Equitable Life As surance society, in a circular letter which is being sent to policyholders. President Morton says that the insur- ance business is certain to be the sub ject of great consideration by legisla- lures soon to convene, as a result Of what has been printed and said about insurance during the last six months. But you cannot give men character nor make them honest by preamble, resolution or enactment" says the let- ter. What the life insurance 'business needs above everything else Is charac- ter, honesty and good business admin istration. There can be no objection to proper legislation safeguarding the bus mess, but it should be sound and sane The society dependsupon its policy holders to see that there is no. unrea- sonable legislation enacted. It may from time to time call their attention to measures calculated to do them harm, but under no circumstances will it be a party to any corrupt methods in preventing strike legislation. We aim to meet the just requirements Of every state and government, and we rely upon our policy holders to see that no injustice is done them.
 Any unfair insurance law or unfair insurance tax measure enacted by your state legislature injures you and re- duces the dividend earnings of your policy. Your dividends Whould be near ly 10 per cent. larger if 1t were not for the state taxes and license fees that the society is obliged to pay
 Mir. Morton expresses the opinion that the Equitable has no right to con- tribute to political campaign funds, and informs the policyholders that no such contributions will be made by the soci- ety in the future. He also says that in the future the soeiety's reserve will De invested in real estate mortgages or the securities of other well established cor porations serving those sections of the country which produce the premiums.
 He assures the policy holders that the financial condition of the society as dis closed by a most careful examination by competent and disinterested acL countants is excellent, and that many economies already in practice and oth- CTS yet to be made surely will enhance it's condition. He urges all policyhold- CTS to continue the payment of their premiums, and says the investigation of the society has convinced him that there is no cheaper way than this for them to have sound life insurance.

"BLACK HANDv ASKILLED.
Italian Murdered by One of His Own
 COuntrymen in New York.

New York, Dec. 17.-Joseph Magorero, said by the police to have Deen a mem Der of the so-called Black Hand'' so- ciety, was shot and instantly killed to- night during fight in a dark. narrow hallway leading to the back room of a saloon at r 1-2 Catherine street. Sal vatore del Salvatore is in a hospital with the big bone of his right leg shat
 tered by bullet, and is charged with being an accessory to the crime. The murder Is laid to Rosaro Juliano, who is in custody. The scene Of the shoot ing is in the Cherry Hill section of the city, and when Juliano darted from the hallway he was pursued by big crowd of men and boys through that thickly populated district, until, almost ex- hausted, he ran into the arms of a po- liceman. The shooting, according to the the police, was the result of so-called Black Hand" demands made upon a brother of the alleged murderer. The brother had paid $50 to members of the society and it was to secure return of this amount that Juliano is declared to have sought Magorero to-day.

HalK~Hearted and Hopeless DemOnsra-
 tiOn mt St. Paul'S Cathedral.
 London, Dec. 17.--London's unem- ployed made a demonstration at St. Paul's cathedral this afternoon in a half-hearted, hopeless and unusual manner. Only a few hundred of them, with appropriate banners, went in pro- cession from Trafalgar square to the cathedral, where they arrived during the progress of the service and up the steps of which they marched singing the "Marseillaise." Here the motley crowd was joined by contingents from other quarters, and all, to the number of some three thousand, began fling into the cathedral silently and respect fully, making an incongruous picture in contrast with the fashionably dressed worshippers. Such. a scene has not been witnessed at St. Paul's since twen- ty years ago, when John Burns, now president of the local government board, led a similar demonstration to the cathedral.
 Although the preacher made sympa- thetic references to the problem of the unemployed. the men became tired long before the service ended and most of them filed out. Some of the leaders de- livered addresses from the steps and then the demonstration Was quietly dis- perseds .s. eisa . '.. 3....
