Cheering News
 From GIeeson

The PRosPEc TOR is in receipt today of cheering news from Gleeson which, if true, and our source of information is regarded as authoritative, W Il fur nish an impetus to mining in that district that will act as contagion toward that very promising section.
 The gentlemen operating the Shan non copper properties at Clifton have acquired control of the Copper Belle group of mines at that place. assum- ing management yes erday when President Palmer and General Man ager Bennie of the Shannon Copper Co. began dir-c'ing affairs, installing a super ntendent. mapping out de- velopment work, and general prepar- pairing to work the property on scale commensurate with it's conceded great ness.
 The Copper Belle is famous prop erty in more w.ys than one First of ali it gained notoriety because of it's generous production of high grade ores and, like other mines of merit, had to pass through the vortex of lit igation that resulted in the opposi e effect of marketing or opening up contiguous properties of recognized values.
 Surrounding and adjoining the Copper Belle Martin Costello Of Tombstone owns a large number oi equally promising claims, and since the Shannon people have become identified with the camp It is almost a certainty that MT. Costellos hold. ings, together with numerous other meritorious properties will be made te become producers in the very neal future.
 The PRosPEcToR congratulates ths miners of Gleesnn upon the fortuitou; coming among them of 8 company who will mine according to modern
 methods extract the riches from theii individual holdings and set the pace
 whereby that highly m neralized re zion will at once sprin, into promi- hence as one of the big copper camp: of Arizons

NOT AN INSPIRATION OF THE MUSE

The Mexican revolu ion
 widely advertised to have
 been launched yesterdar E
 failed to materialize. Tn.
 "Iron Ha ld' of the Diaz a, =
 ministration is too far-reach-
 Ing and is possessed of nu-
 merous tentacles sufficient to quell any incipient disturb ance instigated by renegades too cowardly to engage in the
 tray that u ey would induce
 'thers to participate in. The conditions in our sister Re public, and those in the Ter ritory of New Mexico, are not very dissimilar. a fact that makes jointure with the latter too repugnant for one mo ment's consideration. Ari- zonans have tired of sleeping by their 'fiiht-locKs" after having redeemed this country from savagery and laid the foundation for a great com monwealth. While engag d in this lau6able, self-consti tuted recreation many vicisi-l tudes were endured and the plains were besprinkled a crimson hue, carrying the coD- victiOn of the poetic asser- 1 tion that "waris hell" was not an inspiration of the muse.
 The Apache is quick of perception. cunningsand rest less. base and designing, a over by night and a murderer ! by day, but with all of his de | estable excentricities Arizona would prefer the aborigne indignities rather than sacri- fi e self-esteem and go under the yoke that is sought to be placed upon our necXs.

A MAN DOOMED TO
 RIDICULOUS DEFEAT.

This world of ours is full of excentricities and and sur prises. Even the most ex- centric of the human family occasionally furnish us with agreeable surprises; they have then become safe and sane.
 These reflections are upper most with the PRosPEcToR be- cause of the attitude assumed by the leading Republicans of Arizona in regard to the Congressional campaign now close at hand. Heretofore, with merely a semb ance of party organization, the Re publlcans have put forth their strongest men and, mid the glare of banners, paraded to the tune of trum ct and drum while contesting every foot of ground for Delegate to Con gress- These dem onstrations, however, were for the purpose of continuing party organi- zation, without which, leav- ing public utilities in the hands of a party without op- position, parties become ar rogant and corrupt. Hence it is better for the public that two parties be in the field.
 The Republican party's opposition to Democracy has not been harmful in Arizona; its leaders have lent moral support to measures promis- ing to conduce to the ru5lic welfare, thereby contributing considerably to Mark smiths handsome majorities with each succeeding campaign that he has been put forward by the Dem 'crats. Their ] idglnent has been rewarded by c n- scientious and beneficial work, and MT. Smiths majority on November 6 next, will be larger than ever before.
 w. F. Cooper, who aspires to succeed Delegate Smith in Congress, is real good fellow, but he is unfortunate in his political associate and moral supporter, L. c. Hugh-s ot the Tucson Star, who cham

THE vlClSIIUDeS OF A DEFEATED POLITICIAN


 Oasis has returned to his home after having attended the Republican Territorial Convention at Bisbee. The editorial columns of the Oasis ring with denunciation of the treatment accorded the joint statehood d, le, ation-Colonel Bird being the whole thing. There were in the convention l9O votes. Ofthose the joint statehood men could muster but twenty-seven, about four teen per cent. That fourteen per cent were denied the priv llege of p ltting themselves on record as dissenting from the desires of the people of Ar = zona. Then the fourteen per cent were further humi lated when the convention refused the jplntists an opportunity to present any sort of declara- ton. But the conven,iJn continued in the cen tenor of its way and when the four teen per cent essayed to put in nomination a minority candidate for Delegate to Con- eress the entire weight of the convention contributed to the squ .'ching of such a pro posed travesty upon decency.
 Thus dii the Republicans maintain hoIor and integrity, and it ie surprising, in view of these facts, that Colonel Bird the only me of the iointist ad- vocates possessed of any abil- ity, should cling to such an rntenable position. By the action of the Republican Ter ritoIial Convention, corposed of representative citizens of Arizona, it wa clear y demon straled that the party is ire vocably opposed to jointur . win New Mexico. and its re- fusal to be stlgmat zed by Colonel Birds fourteen per cent of a ''greaser" constit- uency Is both timely a q com
 nendable. And now that his own party has ignored his ar dent wooings. loving impeach- ments and devoted e;,istles Tn furtherance of miscegenation, w- hop. Mir.
