The Cane Crop.

During the past week a few days
of dry weather have occurred and
enabled our sugar planters to do a
little blowing and planting. They
have taken the fullest possible adj
vantage of the dry weather and
have been able to accomplish a
small portion of their field word.
The crop of 1905 is now known
everywhere throughout the sugar
district to have been an unfortu-
nate and discoursging one and
with their usual optimism our
planters are looking forward to
the crop of 1906, and they are all
anxious to make good start with
their preparations for it. A con-
tinuation of the dry weather for
little while longer would be of ma
terial assistance to them 10 this

the Legislature, the election of as
SCISSORS and other state officers.
This same idea was advocated by
Speaker Snyder and Lieutenant
Governor Sanders many months
ago, and since the first and second
officer of the State not whistling
the same political tune on the gu
bernatorial succession, it seems
that each is making some fast
plays on the political checker
board. To spectator it looks
like an even break, but the time
for fast driving has not arrived
yet. and will not until the adjourn
ment Of the next legislature. when
the fur will fly in all directions.
Both Blanchard and Sanders are
scrappers by nature. Neither will
give one inch to. the other, and
when they meet on the hustings,
the air will be full of fuss, feath-

will be a commodity, variagated

Cause Of Socorro EARTHQUAKE.

Scientists from the Socorro School
of Mines state as their opinion of
the causes of the numerous disturb
ances that it is a well-known fact
that the Magdalena range of noun
tains, which skirts the town, con-
tains, great deposits of lime. and
they say that the gases formed by
these lime deposits coming in con-
tact with subterranean streams of
water, cause the earth to "butkle. :"
This theory is the generally accepted
one, as the statement that the
shocks were occasioned by a slipping
of the mountain mass is disproVed
by the fact that the disturbance, at
first local has now spread over a
territory of 500 miles shocks having
been felt recently at San Antonio,
San Marcial, Rincon, FL Paso, Tex
Mayor H o. Bursum, who deplores
the injury done the little town
through the exaggerated reports
sent out, has issued public letter,
denouncing the alarmists, and thank
ing in advance all newspapers that
print only the facts concerning the
earthquake. He states that a
liberal estimate of the actual
damage wrought by the quakes would
be $500.

Our Foreign Commerce.

The total imports of the fiscal
year exceed the highest record of
any earlier year by SlO9, OOO, 900, and
the exports exceed those of the high
est record year (1905) by 1925, ZOO, 900.
The excess of exports over imports
was S517, 100000, exceeding that of
1905 by $116, 900, 900. but falling below
that of each year of the period
189S-190I. Comparing 1906 with the
figures of five years earlier (190D
imports show an increase of $4O3,-
0OO,O 900, and the exports an increase
of 1886, 100000 Comparing the fig
ures with those of ten years earlier
1896 the imports show an increase
of s447, 900, 900, and the exports an
increase of 1851, 100000.
The chief regret that must be ex-
perienced in surveying the. situation,
arises from the fact that nearly all
of the carrying trade involved in
this splendid exchange of commodi-
ties with other countries is done in
foreign ships.
Restoration of the American mer-
chant marine to rank in keeping
with the magnitude of our commerce
is duty owed by the people of this
country to themselves. Congress at
its next session should be urged more
strongly than ever before to take
whatever action is necessary to bring
about so desirable a result.

WILL DOUBLE CAPACITY.
Saddle Mountain Company Orders In
creased Facilities.

1t is learned that the Saddle
Mountain Copper company, operating
the Christmas mine in ella county,
Arizona, has placed an order where
by the present smelling plant of 226
tons daily capacity will be doubled.
This property, which is situated
about twenty miles southeast of
Globe, is within the strip which was
taken from the San Carlos Indian
reservation in January, 1903. The
mine was first operated twenty-five
years ago by Phelps-Dodge & COM
pahy, who erected a small smelter.
As, however, it was within an Indian
reservation, they were obliged to
abandon it.
Immediately the strip was thrown
open, George B. Chittcnden, the
present manager, acquired the
ground and with associates has been
steadily developing ever since.
The mine is remarkable for the
great extent of its ore bodies as ex-
posed, and also for the perfect self
fluxing quality of the ores.
The values are reliably reported to
average 3 per cent. copper, with
some gold and silver. The plant is
now turning out 10 per cent. matte,
which is shipped to the Humboldt
smelter. The product is over five
tons of copper daily.
The company is developing a coal
vein at Deer creek, on its property.
This vein is said to be the only oc-
currence of good steam coal yet dis
covered in Arizona, and the manage
ment believes that it will prove to be
coking coal. Several tons have been
shipped to the government coke
testing plant at st. Louis, recently,
that its value in this respect may be
determined. Should it prove to be a
good coking coal, operating costs
will be materially reduced as the
company is now paying 81 ton for
coke delivered at the mine.

Santa Teresa's Children.

An interesting case was heard be-
fore Judge Little in the probate
court last week, in the matter of the
guardianship of the adopted son and
the two little daughters of Santa
Teresa Urea, the noted Mexican
prophecies and healer who died at
Clifton the first of the year.
There were two applicants for let
tiers of gardianship; Fortunate Alb
endano, with whom the mother and
children had made their home for a
number of years, ard Cayetena
Chavez, the mother of Santa Teresa.
While the contest was a friendly one,
both sides were we'll represented and
made the best showing possible be-
tore the court, Since the mothers
death the grandmother and the
children have lived with Abendano's
family. Both parties were greatly
attached to the children, while at
the same time their relations be-
tween each other were the most
friendly. They simply could not
agree whom the children should go
with, and so left the matter with the
court.
After taking the matter under ad-
visement for day, Judge Little is
sued letters of guardianship to For
tunate AbendanO, who is financially
able to undertake the sponsibility of
their care and in whose family thew
have lived since infancy.-Bulletin

From the Bulletin
Miss Alice Campbell has written
the Solomonville school board that
she does not expect to teach this
year. 1t is understood that Miss
Kate Carson, a former Clifton teach
er, has accepted the principalship.
Miss Carson is highly recommended
as a successful teacher.
The Wilson woman was brought
down from Clifton again this week
for a 6O-day term, on charge of
vagrancy. She had just completed a
60-day sentence about two weeks
ago. Her speciality seems to be in-
cendiarism, but she was "pinchedh
this time before she had an oppor-
tunity to execute her threats.
On the first of the month the Solo
mon Commercial company will lose
the services of two valued employees.
Miss Archibald, who has been book
keeper and stenographer for the firm
for the past four and one-half years,
will leave for Oakland, California,
and Harry Solomon, head of the
grocery department, will resign to
accept a position at Globe. 1t is I'M
derstood that Miss Archibald, who is
graduate of the Boston Conserva-
tory of Music, will devote her time
to teaching instrumental and vocal
music in Oakland. Both Miss Archi-
bald and Mr.. Solomon will be greatly
missed by their many Solomonville
friends.
In reference to the amounts re-
ceived into the Public School Fund of
the county from various sources dur

gent compositor again rules other

SO, 636.6O: fines, 50, 56O.2O; dog tax,
$IOO.35, making a total of S55. 266.6

licenses in this county contribute but
small portion of the total income
for public schools
