REGENT advances in the price of silver means much for the mining sections, and especially for Mexico where silver mining is the principal industry. At present prices many old time silver mines can afford to resume work. Scarcity of labor, however, will be a serious drawback, but will have a tendency to higher wages generally. The reasons for the advances are found in the unusual demand from Asia, Russia and Japan, while the ordinary demand from most other sources is in excess of normal The market has risen so rapidly that speculators have been picking up the coin and converting it into bar silver at profit. If the silver using gov ernments attempt to restrain the ex- portation of their silver coin, which they most surely will do, the price of the metal must go much higher than it is at the present. With copper at IT cents and silver at from 65 to 80 the west is sure to have an old time boom.

IN REFERENCE to local railroad rates in Arizona the Nogales Oasis has the following: gro ship pump kins from Elgin in Santa Cruz county to Tucson in Pima county, costs nearly double the rate on the same CoH- modity from Los Angeles to Tucson, a distance nearly five times as great. " In other words the Arizona farmer is paying ten times as much freight as the California farmer. The local tariff practically prohibits the trans portation of farm produce from the valleys to the mining camps, except by wagon and team. The farmers ot the great Salt river valley are shut of from the mining camps of the territory, which receive their sup. plies from California and Kansas, and yet these roads are paying taxes on less than one tenth of their com mercial value, while non-producing mines in Graham county are assessed at s5000 each. Wouldn't that jar you?

 The D. c. Go. is building a 36,000 gallon fire protection tank on the l hill near the Morenci Water Co.'S. storage tanks. This with the tanks already built and the new system of pipe lines, will give Morenci ex- ceptionally good protection against fire.

Much Snow in Mountains.

J. c. Gatti is just back from a trip to the White mountains, where he reports unusual heavy snow for this season of the year, or in fact for any season of the year. He states that none of the snow in the upper noun tains was carried away by recent rains. T. L. Stockton, who came in this week from his ranch up the Frisco river, reports much snow in the mountains of that section. He is reported as saying that he had sell dom seen so much snow in the moun- ta1rs. It was thought last week that the flood in the river was caused principally by the snow being car ried off by warm rain, but 1t seems that this was not the case. From present conditions a wet winter can be expected, and if Clifton people would protect their property against unusual high water in the river it would pay them to get busy without the loss of further time.

The case of the territory vs. O. A. Risdon, which grew out of the trouble which occurred last week between Charley Wright and Risdon, was heard before Justice Neff Tuesday afternoon and was dismissed. Wright had sufficiently recovered from his wounds to make his appearance on the street, though his head and face are done up in badges, giving him the appearance of ''white capper." He appeared at the trial and stated to the court that he was the aggres- sor in the matter, and asked that the case against Risdon be dismissed Risdon has been accommodating a con- siderable amount of experience ot late, but it is evident that a point has been reached where he will make things interesting for all corners. He says he knows when he has enough.

THE territorial board of equaliza- tion attempts to explain it's record in assessment of railroads ny the statement that the rate on the Santa Fe through a portion of Arizona is fixed by an act of congress, which is true, but this certainly would not prevent the board from assessing other roads at something like the amount placed upon them in all other stutCs. It wUufu also have been appropriate for the board to have passed a resolution requesting our delegate in congress to have the law amended so that the Santa Fe could be compelled to pay a fair val nation on its property.

Forest Supervisor Breen has been recently advised that the article on grazing first published in Colorado and reprinted in the local papers to the effect that the price for grazing cattle and horses on forest reserves had been reduced to ten cents per head and that all settlers would be allowed to graze one hundred head of cattle and horses free, was un- authorized and no such ruling has been made. The question of price and other matter pertaining to it is now under consideration and no defi- mite action will be taken until De- cember 10. The price eventually settled upon will be a reasonable one and the stockmen will have little reason for complaint. In the matte r of leasing pasture lands a more lil- eral policy will be pursued that was at first contemplated. While the limit of 320 acres still stands, lands will be leased to settlers living with in or on the border of a reserve, to give them exclusive use of adjoining pasture during portion of the year when needed for protection against outside stock grazed on the reserve. While the area is limited to 320 acres it is not intended that the full acre age will be allowed unless really needed. This ruling is made for the benefit of settlers who need some means of saving a portion of the range adjacent to their homes for fall or winter pasture.

Reports from Yuma state that the Colorado river was higher last week than at any time since 1891. and lacked only eighteen inches of reach ing the high water mark made at that time. The entire flow of the river is now pouring into the Salton Sea. The material and machinery that was being used to construct a headgate was swept away. The chance of ever turning the current channel is greatly diminished by an immense deposit of silt and driftwood in the old channel.

HON. CHAS- M. SHANNON, who at- tended the mining congress held at Fl Paso last week, introduced the fol- lowing resolution, which, after a hard fight was defeated: Resolved, that it is the sentiment of the American Mining congress, that the United States statute requiring an nual assessment work upon mining claims should be so amended as to allow the locator or owner of claims the alternative of either doing the assessment work now required by statute, or of paying in lieu thereof an annual assessment of $50, the same to be paid to the county tax collec- tor of the county in which the claim is situated, to be applied as follows One-half to be delivered to the state or territory in which the claim is sit uated, to be devoted to the school fund, and the other half to be deliy- cred to the federal government. to be devoted to the reclamation fund for the storage of waters, such sums so delivered to the national govern ment to be credited to the state or territory from which they are re- ceived, and in all cases to be strictly applied for the use and benefit of said state or territory" THE ERA is of the opinion that the resolution should have passed. Such a law would soon give to the west the finest system in the world, and at the same time it would have been of great benefit in retaining desert lands, and making homes for the people. The resolution should pass at the next congress.
