. May 15. 1906. No Developments
 Nor Signs of Them.
 There were no developments today that had the eSsect of al tering the condition of the stock market. and neither is there ary sign that anything Is to be expected in this direction pronto. News about the much falked-of merger of the Bo- manga Circle is meager and in- definite.
 While the merger talk is hay ing its effect on trading to a certain extent. there is no req son why any of the traders should be holding off on this score. as when the matter is brought to a head each and every one of the companies will receive their proper rating and the stocks will be practically worth the same figures as now under the new arrangement.
 Most of the trading locally to- day was In Junction and quite a number of shares were picked up here. c. & P. and Warren also proved attractive to number of traders. The bal ance of the list held fairly well during the, session and the close tonight shows but little change over prices yesterday.

or a thousand feet and probably two thousand, with the average width and length of the veins you possess, I should say that the probable available tonnage will be very large.
 l have no hesitancy in saying that your property is good one and only remains in my belief, for the company to make 8 mine of it.
 In conclusion will say: you are cer- tainiy justified in interesting the re- quired amount of capital to be used in bringing your property to the stage Of producing mine.

In view of the foregoing statements by Mir. A. J. Collins, and verified by hr. John B. Pemberthy, a very highly renowned and reputable engineer of Calumet, Mich, the Arizona Gold Min ing Company are placing block of 2O,000 shares of treasury stock on the market at par $1.00. under the follow ing conditions, 25 per cent. payable on the issuance of the certificate, and the balance subject to calls of 25 per cent. with a given notice of thirty days previous to each call. With the funds thus realized from the proceeds of this stock, together with the able manage ment of Capt J. T. Johnston, the prop erty will be put on a producing basis, thereby making very handsome returns to any and all persons taking ad- vantage of this offer.

Report or Former President, 4. J. Col
 Ilns, dated December 20. 1905.
 This property Is located in the foot hills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, and adjoins the famous Mammoth Mine, which has produced millions of dollars. The claims of the company are the Golden Slipper. Washington, Wyoming and Arizona, comprising about 60 acres of ground. Heretofore the nearest railroad point was Tucson, 45 miles south. but branch of the S. P. Go. is now being constructed from Florence to Benson, and has trains now running to Dudleyyille, distance of P miles from the mine, and will very shortly reach Mammoth, a dis tance of only three miles. The com pletion of this road will greatly re- duce the cost of timber, fuel and all necessary supplies. Water Is abun- dant, the San Pedro flowing within three miles of the mine.

 There are three well defined veins in the district, general course north, west and southeast, having dip to the west of about seventy degrees The formation is granite intersected by dykes of andesite.

It is impossible to give any figures as to the probable tonnage because the present workings do not attain a sui hcient depth. By sinking shaft No. l the proposed depth and developing the veins at that point, by drifts and cTosscuts, and by making a mill test of sufficient proportion. you will be able to estimate the value Of your property with considerable accuracy.
 I fully believe from the facts already demonstrated in the camp, that you can figure on mining veins to depth

REPEAL THE 'JiM CROW" BILL

IT IS to be hoped, says the Easton Ledger,
that the Legislature will direct its attention to
the jim Crow Car Bill sufficiently long to have
the useless measure repealed. It has been an
eve sore to the travelling public and an expense
to the railroads. The bill only applies within
tbs conf q Sof Maryland and any negro who is
through state passenger can demand the right
OF boarding any car and sitting in whatever
seats his fancy leads him. A very small per-
ccntage OF colored persons who travel on the
cars are destined for points in the state They
usually go to Wilmington, Philadelphia or
points i'll Delaware. Under the strict WORKINGS
OF the law the car allotted to white people can be
constantly overcrowded while the Jim Crow"
car is practically empty.
The Cumberland Valley road has determined
to ignore the law entirely on the grounds that
1t is through state road, traversing Pennsvl-
vania and Maryland The Delaware & Chesa-
peake operating from Oxford to Clayton could
with the same propriety consider the law as a
dead letter. On the B. c. & A., throughout
the entire extent, the law is operative. But
even here it is not needed, and it entails TN
necessary expense upon that system
We believe that the railroads should be dealt
with IN spirit OF fairness, just the same as any
business corporation. The Jim Grow" bill was
not drafted either in business like manner or in
spirit OF justice to the railroads. 1t does not
lnure to the benefit OF either the State or the
travelling public. 1t is simply useless piece of
legislation, and the sooner we get rid OF it the
better.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS

ESTIMATED by the manifestation OF such
spiritual qualities as courage civic pride, love Of
justice and honor and honesty in the social fab
rc, the past twelvemonth has been notable in
the career of the nation. No man can guage
with accuracy the causes of the awakening and
say this thing or that incident or all together,
brought about a rebrth of American patriot
ism but it is clear that notable things have been
done. The insurance investigation is a sign
and omen. The people gazed upon that rotten
ness which had crept into business in high places
and decided that change must come. The
INTERROGATION of business and politics in that eX
posture has enlightened many people and shock
ed them. The scandals in politics in Pennsy-
vania in Ohio, in New York began to exas-
perate Americans and they decided to do their
duty by the State and nation. We all know the
result. The imperum in imperio-the ring
within the government-the alliance of corrupt
bosses and corrupt business men and corpora
tons has been scotched, if not killed, for the
time being; the bosses have been put to fight all
along the line; the people show a remarkably
encouraging disposition to take over their own
and give a good account OF their stewardship,
promising brighter and grander future for the
Republic when the ideal of a free people gov
erning themselves shall be put into practice.

A FRANK ADMISSION

HE Baltimore Sum- in its issue of TUESDAY,,
makes the following significant admission as to
the relative status Of the two parties in this
State:-A party 0he Democratic whose lead
ers expect to win victories by ballot trickery, or
by advocating extreme measures designed to
arouse race prejudices, resorts to dangerous and
dishonest measures, which deserve defeat.
The Republican party in Maryland is
growing stronger and stronger year by year.
The public is fast coming to the belief that bet
ter and more practical results can be obtained
through this party, by methods which are open
and aboveboard, than by tricks and subterfuees,
or by appeals which are intended to catch the
votes OF those who are governed chiefly by pre-
JUDGE. AS the two parties stand today one is
dor doing something that will conduce to the
personal advantage of the managers Many a
Democratic candidate whose ability should have
entitled him to place in the Legislative halls

| notice through your columns movement
to stock the county with game birds II | NAV
be allowed the space in your valuable columns,
| would like to give an opinion on this impor-
tant and valuable subject. | think no good re-
suits can be obtained from stocking methods so
long as the County is ovcrrun with thousands
OF worthless ours which can be heard racing the
country any still summer night, robbing nests
and devouring the young; not only the game
has been destroyed by these ravenous wolves,
called dogs but chickens, turkeys and sheep
have been killed in large numbers, in fact SO
great has been the destruction of sheep that
farmers have been oblgd to abandon the keep
ing them, as this important and profitable in
dustry has become hazardous risk. And so
with the game. This condition will last so long
as fifty dollars damage and costs can be Sc
cured against any one killing a worthless cur,
as was the case some years ago Port De-
post Why not pass laws that will eXtermi-
nate the worthless ours, manv of which have no
owners? Why not make it lawful to kill any
where, any dog that does not wear tax collar,
and pay reward for the pets of such dogs and
rid the county of the dog pest, SO that the
sheep industry may again revive? Then the
game will multiply as in former years, but, I'M
der the present condition restocking efforts will
result in the same manner as the experiments
already made While on the subject | would
favor the repeal Of the law prohibiting the shoot
ing of robins, which are becoming so plentiful
as to destroy the cherry crop entirely in some
sections Robins nest high where the dogs can
not reach them, while the birds classed as game
birds nest on the ground. In further support
OF my position, | refer to the five years that
bird shooting was suspended. Was there much
increase during that time? If not, why not

THE WEEK OF PRAYER

THE week of prayer is ut hand and
the Maryland Legislature is about to
meet There is no intimate connection
between these events, but is it likely THAT
if all the good people in this State could
stavr off the legislative meeting they
would be willing TO pray Il week in order
to bring it about.
There is no sound reason why the
Legislature in this State should meet
once in two years. In Alabama and
other States the people get along with a
session once in four years, and the tax
payers are all the better for it. This
eternal tinkering with the laws, making
changes and substitutions, often for the
worse, and thus adding to the labor of
the courts, is not scientific and sensible
way of government. In nearly every
State in the Union there is enough law
on almost every subject. 1t is more diff
cult to enforce existing statutes than to
enact new ones.
Conditions are not such in this country
that the aid of a legislative body in the
States is necessary once in two years in
order to insure good government. Legis-
lative sessions in nine-tenths of the states
cost far more than they are worth.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD has sent
an able, honest, and timely message to
the Legislature, for which the people of
Maryland owe him sincere thanks.
He hits straight from the shoulder in
his arraignment of the gIafterS and
lobbyists, and although the Bosses may
feel themselves safely entrenched in pres
cnt power at Annapolis, yet the Legisla-
ture of 1906, will scarcely dare repeat
the unsavory role of its boss ridden pre-
dccessor of 1904.
Whatever influence the message may
have upon prospective legislation, it is
certain, that the electors and taxpayers
of the State appreciate its force and
timeliness.
