Every miner and other underground worker who may desire to keep the eight-hour law on our statutes should advance to the firing line under the banner of anti-joint statehood and re- m tin there, vigilant and tireless till the close of the battle of ballots in Mo- vember. New Mexico has no eight hour law and but few people in favor of such law as her mining industry, including her coal mines, employ less than 5000 people and but small per cent. of these are voters. Her chief industries are cattle and sheep grow ing and agriculture and these indus tries are not in favor of the eight hour law. In state legislature con- posed of 66 representatives from New Mexico and only A from Arizona it would be impossible to re-enact the eight-hour law. - Florence Blade.

The De la Fountaine mill is about ready to go into commission and as soon as teams have been obtained the work of hauling ore from the mine to the mill will be commenced. The big holster is working satisfactorily at the mine and the mine and the shaft is be- ing timbered up and put in shape to handle ore through from the tunnel level. At least thousand tons of ore is on the dump and will be sent to the mill. Slopes are being opened up in the mine and few men will be able to break fifty or sixty tons daily.

Why should Mo- have county not capture this banner? It would be trophy to which our peo- pie in all the after years would point to with pride. Let every man who has particle of influence with his neighborhood use his best endeavor to make the vote solid against the in- iquitous measure of joint statehood.

w. c. Howard, one of the largest shareholders of the Boulevard mining company, came in from Los Angeles a few days ago and has gone to the mines over in the Union Pass section. The mill at Pyramid is fast disposing of the tails that had not been treated by the cyanide process and within two months the stamps will again begin dropping. It is more than likely that the tank capacity of the cyanide plant will soon be increased to meet the de- mands of the mill.

John Brown, Murderer, Murdered.

SOuuu 4Wo"VS AVAos 0OuVSs svsSs WI OSs
 At the Yuma penitentiary, Thurs day night of last week, a Chinaman named Tong Quem attacked John Brown while he slept, in the woman's ward, and crushed his head with a rock. When the guard made his rounds of the ward in the morning he found the body of Brown in bed. The Chinaman must have attacted the sleeping man with maniacal fury and it is not probable that Brown knew what struck him, as death must have been instantaneous. The bed and walls of the room were covered with blood and on the Chinaman's clothing was found big clots of blood. The two men had been ill and were placed in one of the unoccupied wards in the woman's part of the prison. Brown had recently had one of his feet am- putated on account of blood poisoning and was slowly recovering from the effects of the operation. Sunday night the Chinaman committed suicide by hanging himself to the bars of his cell. The Chinaman is said to have had three murders to his credit and was sent up from Maricopa county for an assault with deadly weapon.
 John Brown was sent to the pen from this county for the assassination of Oscar Simmons, saloon keeper at Chloride. He had served about six years of twenty year term. Prior to the killing of Simmons Brown had killed a man at White Hills, for which crime he was acquitted by coroner's jury, the grand jury taking no cog nizance of the crime. The man who succombed to Browns gun was an all- around bad man and it was a case of dog-eat-dog with the two. Brown came to Mohave county when young man and immediately started out on career of prime. His first work was an attempt to murder his partner, a gambler named Cornell, but he only succeeded in shooting him through the leg. The matter was passed off as an accident. Later he shot and badly wounded man at Eldorado Canyon, but got out of the scrape. He later was sent up from San Bernardino county for perjury in an arson case. After getting out of San Quentin he went to Prescott, where he was sent up for two years for rolling man. After getting out of the pen he came to Mohave county again and was in all kinds of trouble until he was again sent to the pen for the killing of Sim mons. He was hop fiend and crimi- nal of the most depraved class.

PROF. CoUNclLL's faction"

, The indianapolis Freeman thinks
that Prof. Councils action" in tbe
Ransom case affords no Just cause for
criticism. It says:
"A cclored man in the South has no
right that white man is bound to
respect. In the greater part of that
section the bred Scott decision is in
full force. But with all this Prof.
Council has nothing to do, nor is he
responsible for the condition that ex-
lists. Like others, he must adapt him
self to it if he is to continue to labor for
the upbuilding Of the race in the South.
No one can help him in his work by
making him trouble
The trouble about this argument is
that it is so easily applied to excuse
any abomination that exists in the
South. or anywhere else. 1t is a fact
that in the South the Afro-American
who is pimp and the female who is
a procuress are very popular with
licentious white men. 1t is fact that
many Afro-Americans who get jobs
from Southern white men must do a
lot of dirty work or lose their jobs.
The argument advanced by the Free
man will excuse them all.

SENATOR HOPKINS.
Champions the Rights Of the Afro
Americans.

Americans.
Said Senator Hopkins in an inter-
view: 800.
THE ark of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton has not been intrusted exclusive
~ to the Bourbon Democrats of the
South. Neither is the sanctity of the
home reverenced exclusively by poll
ical leaders who now control the des-
tines of the old slave-holding COM
monWealths. l take it that both
these are dear to the American peo-
pie, irrespective of section and of DO
litical affiliations.
1t seems to me that if the South
persists in it's present attitude it will
inevitably degrade the Afro Ameri-
can, taking from him all incentive to
high endeavor and crowding him down
into the darker places and compelling
him always to tread level lower than
that trodden by his white countrymen.
And that thought brings me to the
crux of this question, namely, that
the Democratic party is foisting upon
the country a policy which will result
in our having in this nation two great
classes-the one riding upon the backs
of the other, and the strength of the
whites depending upon the supineness
of the blacks. Lincoln said that the
nation could not continue half slave
and half Free

THE AMENDMENT STILL LIVES.

THE AMENDMENT STILL LIVES.
The Washington Post says: The
fifteenth amendment died long ago,
and all of the fourteenth amendment
that relates to reduction of representa-
ton died with it. The only attempt
Of the United States, which has not a
single voter in all it's vast domains, to
interfere with suffrage in the States
failed utterly.
Presidents Garfield, Arthur, Harri-
son, Mckinley and Roosevelt have
persistently discouraged sectionalism
They have all realized and practically
admitted that Afro-American enfran-
chisement' was a mistake-a blunder
of immense magnitude-and have
been more than willing to let the
Southern people deal with the Attic
ton in the light of their own superior
knowledge of the situation.
That is stating the case pretty
strongly and going very far to show
that the Presidents named and the Re-
publican party generally are in full
with Tillman, Vardaman and
Reverend TIM DIN. But, if any
of those Presidents or any considerable
portion of the Republican party, prac-
tically or otherwise, have made any
such admissions as the Post claims,
practically or otherwise, the fact has
not attracted any special attention.

THE ATLANTA CONFERENCE.

The Atlanta Conference, which de-
votes time to systematic study of all
problems relating to the Afro-Ameri-
can, has published report of it's con-
illusions. One of these is an undoubt-
ed betterment of the health of the race,
though it is admitted that the death
rate is stih too high. The report be-
ing the work of man who is recog-
nized to be a competent and reliable
scientific observer has attracted much
attention. The Chicago Inter Ocean
says: But the most striking result
of the conference is the report that it
does not find any adequate scientific
warrant for the assumption that the
race is inferior to other
races in build or vitality. The present
differences in mortality seem to be
sufficiently explained by conditions of

NO DIFFERENCE TO TOM.

In asracent issue of his magazine,
Tom Watson declares: d.
1T makes no difference whatever
to Georgia or to the people in her linn
its whether she has six representa-
tives in Congress (the number pro-
posed by General Keifer) or eleven
(the number to which the state is
entitled).
People who devote special attention
to political events will recall to mind
the fact that Tom Watson once ran for
the Presidency upon the Populist tick
ct and failed to get single electoral
vote. He did not create much of a
sensation at that time; but this time
h., has eclipsed even the famous Hoax
Smith "Gal in the Fountain which
has cut such figure in Georgia poll
tics.
The Clark Howell faction of the
Georgia Democracy is denouncing him
fercely and making Hoax the scape-
goat to bear his sins. John Sharpe
Williams, the representative of about
1000 Mississippi hill-billies can scarce
" find language sufficiently fervent
to express his dissent. The incident
is Of some political value, as throwing
some light upon what some have con-
sidered debatable point, that is
whether the South would rather adj
here to her grandfather clauses or,
lose portion of her congressional
representation. It is evident that the
South does not wish her representa-
tion to be any more of hopeless and
helpless minority that it is at present.

The term Negro" adopted from
