The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1906-08-02
ARIZONA'S RIGHT.
A Rich and Prosperous. Empire Should
Order Her Own Future.

Arizona's copper output for the
year 1906 in conservatively estimated
at 300, 900, 600 pounds, which is one
fourth of the estimated output for
the North American continent. This
production of the territory, at an
average seems to be assured-means
gross price of Is cents a pound
which now gives a revenue from cop
per alone of S54 100000. Gold, silver,
lead and other mineral production
may be expected to bring up the
gross yield from mining enterprises
in Arizona this year to between sew
enty and eighty million dollars-a
tidy sum for territory striving for
statehood, says the Los Angeles
Mining Review.
Arizona, which ten years ago was
looked upon by the vast majority of
people in this country as territory
valids, is today of very definite
value to the nation. It's copper out
put, estimating the cost at 8 cents a
pound, represents a clean gain of
new national wealth amounting to
S27 100000. Its cost of production,
another 1877, 200, 900, will be expended
in labor; therefore, it will contribute
that much during this year to the
support of the people of the United
States.
This wealth of copper, gold and
other metals to the value of upward
of $40. 100000 will be Arizona's con-
tribution for 1906 to the available
cash balance of the United States.
A similar contribution, and undoubt-
edly a greater one, may be counted
upon year by year for long period.
What, then, does this producer of
new wealth, which is the very life
blood of prosperity in this country,
deserve and what has it received at
the hands of the people?
The population of Arizona is
chiefly American and of a particu-
larly sturdy and independent type.
Because of the great mining enter
prises that have grown up within the
territory during the last decade,
there has been a steady inflow of
men of all grades but, on the whole
far above the average in intelli
gence, education and energy. Per
capita earnings are high.
The population is greater than has
been required of other territories
entering the union, and is growing
rapidly. These people, intelligent,
prosperous, vigorous, want the right
to manage their own affairs, as do
other Americans. They have been
offered statehood under conditions
that would place them ina minority
that would take from them the
power to order their own future.
Fortunately for Arizona the people
have the opportunity to reject it,
and so decidedly as to vindicate
their right to self-government on the
lines that their own sober judgment
tells them are best and safest.

THE POLITICAL PLANS
OF ORGANIZED LABOR.
American Federation Warns Its Members
Against Scramble for Office.

The executive council of the
American Federation of Labor has
made good its declaration of several
months ago to enter the field of
politics in the interests of trade
union movement and to exhort all
members and friends of organized
labor to work for the election to
favorable to the labor cause. From
the headquarters of the federation
the council has issued it's campaign
program addressed to "all organized
labor and friends in the United
states.''
1t sets out that the trade union
movement has kept its promises to
keep pace with the rapid change in
industrial affairs and that the work.
ing people can not hope to maintain
their rights or a progressive position
in the varying phases of modern
society unless they organize, ECKER
else all those functions which, as
workmen and citizens, it is their
privilege and their duty to exercise"
1t is declared that labor makes no
demand upon government or society
which is not equally accorded to all
the people of this country, and that
sit can and will be satisfied with
nothing less"
The proposed campaign is based up
on the allegation that little atten-
tion has been paid to the enactment
of laws prepared by organized labor
and presented to congress ''for the
relief of those wrongs and the at
tainment of those rights to which
labor and the common people are
justly entitled, and which are es-
sentially necessary for their well
fare"
The council issues a word of eau
tion that the movement must not de-
generate into a scramble for office,
but sit should be a determined eff
FORT" free absolutely from the
partisanship of every name and
character, to secure the Legislation
we deem necessary and essential to
the welfare and happiness of all our
people,
1t is expressly stated that whereas
a congressman or state legislator has
proven himself a true friend to the
rights of labor, he should be sup
ported, and no candidate nominated
against him."

NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

At Pirtleville a few days ago oc-
CURED very peculiar explosion that
narrowly missed fatally injuring sew
eral men, though none were hurt,
and that resulted in a property loss
of $500. A gasoline lamp in saloon
began to leak and the bartender see
ing the oil running down on the floor
fastened to adjust the cap where the
oil was leaking. In doing so he
stepped on a match that happened to
be lying in the oil on the floor. An
explosion instantly followed that
wrecked the place and started fire
which was quickly extinguished.
William w. Wagner, who died at
the Copper Queen hospital in Bisbee
several days ago of Bright's disease
after having been rendered uncon-
scious by a fit the afternoon of the
same day, was-a member of troop E.
of the First United States volunteer
cavalry, the roughriders.
In connection with the recent
proclamation of Governor Kibbey in
which the attention of all the peace
officers in the territory is called to
the smuggling of arms across the
border to the Yaquis, Capt. Ryn-
ming, of the rangers, said that the
rangers had been working along the
line suggested for several months.
He received instructions of a similar
nature from Washington six mon tbs
ago. Capt. Rynning said that for
merly considerable smuggling of
arms was effected but that little is
going on now.
J. G.. Thomas, formerly of Clifton
who resides at Pirtleville, met with
an accident at the G. & A. smelter
last week, which resulted in the
breaking of one of his arms. Mr..
Thomas was working on one of the
new coal bunkers on the thigh line"
over which is carried the coke and
ore to the furnaces, when heavy
timber fell on him. He was taken to
the Calumet hospital where he is
now getting along nicely.

Earthquake in New Mexico.

Later reports confirm the first in
formation received of the great dam
age caused by the earthquake So
zorro county, New Mexico. The shock
was severe in Soccrro, and San Mar
cial. In Socorro many houses show
the effects of the quake. Many
walls were thrown down and a huge
crack was left in the earth. For
many nights people were afraid to
sleep indoors and all who were not
held by property or business inter
ests left the city. The great spring
was increased in size, and now the
volume of the water is much greater,
but of just as pure and fine quality.

Monday evening the following
gentlemen met at Judge Fonda's

John J. Birdno. Lee N. Stratton,
John w. Casteel, Joe Mckinney,
Billy Robertson, Y. Houdson, w. B.
Fonda, Peter Anderson, Thos. Cum

yesterday morning with Mr.. Mcneil,
of Globe, to make the locations and
establish monuments on the land. 1t

Guardian.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
estimates that the amount of money
received from forest. reserves in
Arizona for the fiscal year ending
June 50, ult., will be $40, 1862. OF
this amount the Territory will be
paid 10 per cent, or S7,976.68, for the
benefit of public schools and public
roads of the counties in which the
reserves are situated. From the
Mount Graham reserve the total
revenue is estimat ted to be 81 ,264 ,26
of which the county will receive
S126. 42.-Bulletin.
The board of supervisors of Cochise
county are taxing unpatented pro-
ducing mining claims which will
materially swell the assessment rolls
of that county. There is no good rea-
son why a producing mine should not
be taxed whether it is patented or
not.
