AN EXPLANATION

At the solicitation of the local con- mittee managing the republican cam paign, that party having no newspaper to represent it in this county, we have sold them space in the SILVER BELT, in order that they may present the claims of the party and their candidates to preferment. Copy for the republi- can column will be furnished by the republican committee, and the editor and proprietor of the SILVER BELT will not be responsible for the statements therein made, except that nothing libelous will be permitted to be pub lished. The republican party simply pays for the space contracted for and will use it as they see fit. The plan has its advantages as the voters throughout the county will have the claims of both parties presented to them in the same paper and will be the better able to decide as to the merits of the respective candidates. The SILVER BELT covers the entire local field, and it is but natural that the political parties should seek its columns to present their campaign matter to the voters of Gila county.

Private advices confirm the press re- ports of Mark Smiths successful tour of the northern counties. Where strong opposition was expected his reception has been most cordial, and the joint statehood sentiment, which was said to be strong in certain sec tions, is nowhere in evidence. Joint statehood is the issue and the people of Arizona appreciate the great serv- ices which Mark Smith has rendered for the preservation of Arizona's au- tonomy, and will return him to Wash ington by the largest majority ever before given him.

The ticket nominated by the demo- cratic county convention on Monday is published at the head of our editorial column. The candidates chosen will, we believe, meet with the approval of the voters of the party generally, and will also receive the support of many who have not heretofore affiliated with the democratic party. They are all men who have lived in Gila county for many years, and several of whom have served the county creditably in public office. The SILVER BELT will give the ticket it's earnest support, and in so doing will endeavor to treat the candi- dates of other parties fairly. We be- lieve in clean politics and trust that the campaign will be free from invidious

The democratic county convention recognized the claims of the northern part of the county for representation in the county government by placing two good men from that section on the ticket-W. C. Colcord of Payson, for supervisor, and John Mccormick of Young, for assemblyman. Mir. Colcord is a member of the present board of and his record as public officer and citizen is above criticism MT. Mccormick has been a resident of the Pleasant valley country for num- Der of years, and has the respect and good will of the people of that section and is we'll qualified to represent Gila county in the legislature.

About the most foolish argument ad- vanced by the republicans for the cleo ton of their candidate for delegate to congress is that Arizona should be rep resented by delegate in harmony with the administration. We have heard that before, but never did it sound so empty and absurd as now. In fact, it is an insult to the intelligence of the people of Arizona to suggest sending a representative to Washington who COULD work in harmony with the ad- ministration-a an administration that has used the power of great political machine to take away from Arizona her rights under the constitution and destroy her identity.

It is refreshing to learn that Ranger William Sparks has resigned as mem Der of the rangers to comply with the regulation which prohibits members of the force participating in politics. That must be regulation adopted by the republican administration since the last general election, when Bill, although ranger, wasted his time electioneering for the republican candidate, and at the same time claiming to be a democrat. Gov. Brodie ignored protests against Sparks putting into politics. Gov. Kibbey must have better sense of propriety in such matters.

MARK SMITH A FAv0RlTE
Globe Win Give Him a Splendid En-
 dorsement

dorsement
 ''Gila county will give Mark Smith double the majority at the coming election that was given him two years ago." says Geo. J. Stoneman, promi- nent Globe resident, who is now here on private business, says the Phoenix Enterprise.
 irrespective of party the citizens of Gila county will cast their ballots for Smith. His majority there will be an almost unanimous testimonial of the esteem in which he is held"
 Stoneman says fully 20OO votes will be cast in Globe at the coming cleo tion. Already about 1900 have been registered. The city has population of between 1000 and 5000, and is grow ing more rapidly than any city in Ari- zona.
 Stoneman states that w. F. Cooper's recent meeting in Globe, while it was a respectful one, was devoid of enthus- iasm, the attendance being small, and the most of those present there to see Cooper and hear him, but not with the intention of becoming his supporters.
 Miners and business men alike in Globe and all parts of Gila county are for Smith, and are working actively foi his success. Even the few jointists there will vote for him in preference to any other candidate, believing that he can better represent Arizona in congress than any of the other candi- dates.
 "On every hand, says Stoneman, 'I have found sentiment to be strongly for Smith The fight he has made for Arizona in this statehood battle, and the great need of him in congress should any further effort be made to unite the territories, is apparent to every thinking man."
 Stoneman states that columns might be written about the great revival in mining in and around Globe, and yet only small part be said. Big deals are made almost daily, hundreds of men are developing prospects, and thousands of dollars are being invested by men who have confidence in the district.
 Several rich strikes have been made recently in what have been considered nothing more than prospect holes. The entrance to the Globe district of Michi- gan capital and promoters has caused many claims to be worked that have been idle for years. In the most of them rich ore is being found.
 Globe, says Stoneman, lis growing faster than any other city in Arizona. and will soon take it's place in point of population with Bisbee He believes the day is not far distant when the copper output of Globe will outrank that of any mining camp in Arizona.

The amateur politicians running the local republican machine, who turned down good man and consistent re- publican in favor of a rank outsider, for sheriff, committed blunder that will cost the republican ticket many votes. A party that would resort to such discreditable expedient to gain votes ought to get all that is coming to them, and they will get it.

GREAT EARNING POWER
 OF COPPER MINES

There is now every possible basis for the belief that the price of copper will average between 19 and 20 cents per pound during the coming l2 months. As the average cost of production is not over 9 cents per pound, and as the mines of the United States will produce an aggregate of about HOO, ,000, GOO pounds during the year 1907, the net earnings of the copper industry for t e period should approximate the astor- ishing sum of $ll0, 0,000,0 GOO.
 The largest amount of money ever disbu'sed by the copper mines of the United States in one year was about $45, 900, 900, in 1905. This year divi- dends will approximate $55, 900, 900. The treasuries of the copper mining companies are now full to overfowing, and during 1907 the companies will feel called upon to disburse prs ctically their entire net earnings. We have the prospect before us, therefore, that $2 will be paid in dividends next year where $l has been paid this, and that a total of fully Sl00, 900, 900 will be dis bursed to the holders of copper mining shares; an average from now on of more than 5000, 900 monthly.
 Such remarkable distributions of profits as are here indicated can hardly fail to result in tremendous increase in the investment demand for copper mining securities, and this will un- doubtedly be accompanied by rampant speculation. If monetary conditions will permit, the coming year will un- doubtedly witness the biggest boom in copper mining stocks ever recorded. 1t would seem that even the smallest producers will be able to pay dividends.

GENERAL FUNSTON
DENIES RUMORS
is WORKING IN HARMONY WITH
MAYOR SCHMITz
Latter Also Sends Message to Secre-
tary Taft CHASING Reports as
Malicious and Decidedly
Untruthfu
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Secretary
Taft's attention having been directed
to the reports that friction existed at
San Francisco between Gen. Funston
and Mayor Schmitz, he sent a message
to Funston asking for the facts in the
case.
Gen. Funston's reply was received al
the war department today and read
as follows:
Report of disagreements between
Mayor Schmitz and myself must be
based on the excited imagination OF
some overworked newspaper cores
pondent.
Mayor Schmitz and myself have
been working together in the unity
of doing a great work, and we are
helping. to the extent. of our ability
and apparently to the satisfaction OF
every friend of the community and all
unfortunate people of the city"
The department also received today
two kilograms from Mayor Schmitz on
this subject. The first one, which was
dated yesterday, read as follows:
Denies All Rumors
Reports of conflict between Gen.
Funston and myself absolutely with
out foundation.
I'VE are not only without difficulties,
but are cooperating in the utmost
friendship and harmony. Gen. Funs-
TONS excellent work, his good judg-
ment and his zeal in our cause are
appreciated by the people of San Fran
cisco in this hour of great distress.
"The army and nation are to be con-
graduated on the possession of such
officers as Gen. Funston"
The second dispatch from Mayor
Schhitz, which is dated today, em-
,phasizes this, the mayor expressing
his indignation at the remarkable,
malicious and decidedly untruthful
suggestion" that a conflict exists be-
tween Gen. Funston and himself.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
TAKES HIS LIFE
News From San Francisco Announc.
ing the Death of His Family
Drives Albert G. Smith to
Commit Suicide

News of the death of his son and
daughter-in-law in the San Francisco
disaster led Albert G. Smith to COM
nit suicide in his room at the Bronx
apartments, 1886 Winston street, last
night by inhaling gas.
When friend told Smith of the sad
news he remarked that he would never
see the light of another day. The
smell of gas attracted friends to
Smiths room, where they found him
unconscious.
Since the San Francisco disaster
Smith has been partially insane.
All instruments with which the man
could injure himself had been taken
from him by friends and no apprehen-
sion as to his safety was felt
Smith came to Los Angeles few
months ago from San Francisco and
has been working ior a coffee house.
Smith was taken to the receiving hos
pital, where he died short time later.

MANY REFUGEES
REACH OGDEN
TERROR STRICKEN WOMAN
GOES INSANE
Citizens of the Mormon State Extend
Hospitality to All Who Arrive
on Eastbound
Trains
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
OGDEN, Utah, April 23.-Six hundred
and forty-four refugees reached Ogden
at noon and they are now being fed
by the local relief committee.
The mental strain of the fleeing, ter
ror-stricken people is best illustrated
in the misfortune of Mrs. Ida Reed
She arrived in Oakland apparently ol
sound mind, but when the tension of
the scenes was relieved by a realiza-
tion that she was safely located or
the refugee train bound east, her mind
gave way and she is now detained
here in the city Jail. Her destination
was Waverly, Ia.
Her 10-year-old son is being cared for
during his mothers arrangement by the
ladies of the relief committee.
Retreating Army
The flight of the refugees can only
be likened to that of retreating army
The people arriving today apparent
ly were driven from their homes with
out time to even properly clothe them
selves. Some are hatless and coatless
and others are garbed in misfits do
mated by the relief committees be-
tween Oakland and Ogden.
They all have the same story of hor-
ror to relate, and their one desire is
to get away from the scenes of the
unfortunates.
Nearly all the refugees on this train
are bound for Chicago.
Individual lunches for 563 persons
were handed out, each lunch being in
cased in a cardboard shoe box
Steaming Coffee Awaits Them
Then the distressed people were mar
shaled in front of improvsed coun-
ters, on which were awaiting them
cups of steaming coffee. The children
were provided with milk and especial
thought was given to the babies, and
bottled milk was served them.
Many of the passengers were pro-
vided with means sufficient to pay
their own way and they remained in
the cars or went to nearby restaurants.
En- route from Oakland the refugees
were organized into committees and
the leaders selected to direct them on
their journey east.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23,--The fire
which seemed to have died out yester-
day broke out with renewed vigor in
the coal bunkers north of the ferry
building shortly after midnight. The
flames reached these bunkers Saturday,
