From Sunday E Dnily.)

 In recent issue of the Earth, n rail road magazine, Charles A. Van der
 Kerr, secretary of the board of trade Phoenix, tells why Arizona is thank ful. He says:
 To have reached first place among the states in the production of copper is one of the things for which Arizona has to he thankful in the year 1905. Mines in the north and mines in the south arc adding to the worlds output of copper bullion, until the aggregate exccls all other eommonwcalths in this country-and that means the worll
 A territorial fair, in which are gath. cred representative specimens of the agricultural products, live stock, and the wealth of the mines, is another reason for which she territory has to he thankful. The first exhibition of the territorial fair association is held in December of this year at Phoenix, where grounds have been prepared with accommodations equal to many older associations in the east. Two tracks, one of a mile and the other of n half mile, attract the owner of fast horses, and bid fair to enable many records to be broken. In connection with the fair T permanent mineral cx- hibit is to be established, where speci. mems of the ore from various proper ties in the territory will he kept on exhibition throughout the year.
 The progress of reclamation work is another thing for which the people of tho territory give thanks. With the completion of the project of the gov. ornment, which is now being built in the Tonto basin, the Salt river val ley will become literally the garden spot of the southwest. Within this re. servoir district will be comprised the largest body of reclaimed land in the country About 100000 acres will he supplied from the enormous reservoir thus to be established, m aadition to other thousands of acres irrigated by means Of pumping plants. At Yuma the Laguna project is in the process Of building and will supply largo acreage on bilh sides of the Colorado nver at that point.
 Through the territory there orc every where evidences Of progress and growth in business mud population, which make tho inhabitants Of Ar.aona thankful at ,hi- lime.
 The people of Arizona nope by next Thanksgiving they w,l have cause to be thankful that the question of joint statehood has been properly settled

 Control of ,ao lead output tho strength of thc amelting monopoly of today Successful competition with trust would be difficult, because in ad- dition to dry ores an independent con- ceru would need to get possossiou of an assured supply of lead ores Go form the proper amelting mixtures.
 But lead ores are not tho only kind that can bc used Go collect the pro. ciour metal contents og sihcious ores. Copper ores will serve the purpose, and possess some advantages. The economic significance of this fact and it's bearing upon Mexican mining are brought out 1 clearly in @ paper read before the American Mining Congress by James w. MalcolmsOn. In Arizona and So- nora are vast deposits of copper, de. | veloped and undcveloped. Further sou. Mexico large quantities of si lieious ore are now produced, and the output could be greatly increased if there were an adequate supply of lead ores for nuxing purposes. As a large increnso in the lead ore supply is not to bc expected, there must be rccoursc to copper ores, of which, fortunately there K an abundant supply within con venient reach.
 Copper mines, unlike lead mines, arc to large extent, operated by indcpend. ent companies Previous attempts Co establish copper monopoly have been failurcs. and have demonstrated that the conditions are unfavorablc Any considerable extension in the use of copper instead of lead as collector of gold and silver would, therefore, tend to weaken the hold upon the in. dustry now possessed by the smelling ! trust.
 But the position of lead in the smclt. ing industry is not the only point where the metal is subject to attack. The use of the metal ns basis for paints Is arousing popular disapproval. In France prohibitory legislation is probable, and the example of France will have an effect upon other countries. French investigators have proved be. yond question the poisonous effect of lead paints upon those who make them and those who usc them.
 Tho rival of lead as basis for paints is not copper but zine. Zinc oxide may Dc used instead of lead oxide with equally good results, For some purposes it is superior, and 1t Is not poisonous.
 Any considerable contraction ,n the use of lead paints would necessarily curtail the market for lead ores. The annual production of lead oxide Is a little moro than 100000 tons, compaF ing with 5000 tons, the annual pro. duction of pig lend It will bo seen, therefore, that he paint trade is one of inc lead prodreor' g best customers. To predict that the gradual mbstitu tion of zine white for lead white will hnvo a serious effect upon the lead producer would bc uuwurranted, how. ever. The change will be slow and iosses Iu ono field of uee may be nore than eounterbaloneod by gains in an. other. Certainly the present lead mar ket doos not redect a discolraging out look.
