President RoOsevelt's much heralded
enmity to the Trusts is shown to be
much wind without substance when
we read about the armor plate con
tracts. The armor plate trust controll-
ed by Schwab, Prick and Carnegie use
to charge $500 a ton for armOr plate.
The Midvale Steel Company, of Phil
adelphia, built up a business and sue
cessfully bid against the Trust. When
the bids were opened last week for =
1888 tons of armor plate the Midvale bid
S345 a ton while the Trusts bid was
from 1910 to 1891 a ton. The Midvale
should have gotten the contract, but
Secretary Bonaparte, President Roose-
velt's man in charge of the Navy, had
pity on the Trust and gave it half the
contract.

We W an apology to Editor Chew
of the Standard and Jerseyman for our
criticism of the New Jersey Forestry
Commission, as being fat sinecure of
fees and creating a market for poor
pine and scrub oak land. Mr.. Chew
says the woodland purchased will some
day (?) be of great value to the State,
and that the Commissioners serve with
out pay, their expenses only being re-
minded by the State. We are glad to
know there are patriots to-day who
serve their country without pay as
Washington did. But where is the
consistency of the State paying even
those expenses when the nation insti-
gates the using of home timber by put
ting a tariff on Canadian lumber, thus
raising the cost of every new house
built for the benefit of the lumber trust.

Municipal Ownership Approved.

Governor Stokes has disposed of the
question of municipal ownership in
New Jersey, for this year at least, by
his action on the bills passed by thela
Legislature.
He signed Assembly Bill No. 1873,
passed at the instance of Assembly1nan
Jones, of Camden, approving it as the
best measure of its kind introduced be-
fore the lawmakers of the Common
wealth, and then vetoed Assembly Bills
80 and 70, by Mr.. Elvins, of Atlantic
City, and Mr. Wright, of Passaic, re-
spectively. The Jones bill enables cit
les to construct and maintain light.
heat and power plants.
the others permitted cities to acquire
existing plants and issue bonds to pay
for them.
In Yetoing the bills of Messrs. Elvins
and Wright the Governor took occasion
to declare that these measures were un-
necessary inasmuch as the Jones bill
more properly covered the case.
lie crltlcises the Legislature for pass
ing a multiplicity of municipal owner
ship bills, some of which were contra
dictory and overlapping and at the same
time passing a resolution for the ap-
polntment of a commission to inyesti.
gate the subject and report at the next
session, declaring that Gin the iudg-
ment OF The Legislature it would be
wiser to postpone legislation Oh this
question until the next session of the
Legislature"
The Governor vetoed several other
measures, including Senator Browns
Dill for the annexation of a portion of
the township of Middletown to Allan
tic Highlands, Monmouth county. He
declared there Vas considerable opposi-
ton to the bill on the part of people d.
rectly interested and another bad feat
ure of the measure was that it contain
ed no referendum clause.
He vetoed Assemblyman Hildreth's
bill authorizing the expenditure of 81
5OO for the propagation of oysters and
CLANS because it carried no ~appropriat.
ing clause and because it did not speci-
fy that the work should be done under
the direction of either the State Expert
mental College or the State Bureau of
Shell Fisheries exclusively.
Assemblyman Tillman's dam, or res
erVolr bill, was vetoed because in the
Governors words: 81 fail to under
stand the public necessity for a meas
ure which cOnfers upon one municipal
lty the power, certainly of doubtful
eonstitutionality, to regulate the affairs
in another municipality"
Senator McKee's bill authorizing
municipalities to establish water lines
was vetoed because it would create
confusion between State and municipal
rights and interfere with one source of
school income, namely, riparian rentals.
The Governor approved Assembly
man Martins revision concerning the
mode and manner of committing in
sane persons and their care and treat
ment in the institution of the Common
wealth.

would only take the Democratic NOM

the reform element was in charge of
the party, and that he still believes he

that the examination and oversight OF

FIVE POINTS MINING COMPANY ALTERS
 CAPITALIZATION
BiSbee Stockholders Get Most Liberal Deal in New Issue of Stock = Mines Are in Ore and Work Progressing,

Attorney Joseph E. Morrison has just returned from Globe where be went about week ago 10 attend a meeting of the stockholders of the Five Points Mining company in the interest of the Bisbee stockholders. He brings the first news of the recapitali- zation of the Five Points company, and Bisbee holders of stock in that concern have reason to feel grateful for the deal given them by the Globe concern.
 The former capitalization of Five Points was 500,000 shares of the par value of s1 each. Under the changes which have been made the capltallza- tion now stands at S00,000 shares, but the par value has been raised to s10 a share.
 IF the new allotment of stock Bis bee holders are to receive one and one tenth of the par value of of the new stock. That is to say, one holding 100 shares of the old stock owns s100 worth of that stock. He will now have eleven shares of the new stock, of stock of the par value of s110.
 To offset this, the promoters and original owners of the property will take but Jhree-ffths of the new stock as represented in the par value of their present holdings, which action On their part leaves to the treasury of the company a material amount of stock which may be disposed of later, if nece ssary, to the advantage of the company and the individual stockhold- CTS.
 What this means to Bisbee may best be told by the figures which show the amount of the old stock held here. Of the cash, sales of stock Bisbee held 10000 shares of the old issue. Bisbee will now hold l, 100 shares of the new issue. or s11, 900 worth of Five Points, a veritable gift to Bisbee Of 5000 worth of the stock.
 It is the purpose of the company to place on tue eastern market, where arrangements have already been made for the exclusive handling of the stock, an allotment sufficient to pro- vide for reduction plant. of which the company is very much in need.
 In the transfer from the old to the new issue, Attorney Morrison will represent the company and his of fees in the Muheim building will be the company's headquarters in Bisbee. All will be in readiness for the ex- change of certificates in about thirty days.
 Five Points Mining company has two groups of claims, situated in the Globe district. one of which adjoins property of the Old Dominion company at Globe and contains ten claims. This is known as the Banker Group and shaft and tunnels are now In a good sized body of rich ore. One tun- nel now being driven. is expected to tap the main body at distance of 125 feet from it's mouth. and have depth on the vein of 300 feet. It is now in about 60 feet.
 The second group known as the Pin to Creek Group and has twenty claims
 nearly every foot of the work or l which has been in good ore from ths
 surface. By means of a drift con
 nections have been made on the Pinto
 Creek group with an old shaft where
 the company is now raising to make
 the shaft two compartments in width

FAIR WILL SUR2ASS FORMER
 EFFORTS
Commissioner Packard Talks on LiberaIity of the
 Big Cities.

DOUGLAS, July 1s.-(Special) )-
 To meet with T. F. Pollock, who will arrive in Phoenix today from Flag staff, B. A. Packard reached Phoenix yesterday from Naco. As fair com. missioners they will today decide on the list of prizes and stakes, as well as to fix the amounts to be given the winners.
 While the list of prizes for exhibits will remain practically the same as last year, the total amount of money to be awarded will be considerably more than that of the first territorial fair last December.
 The stakes for racing will be sey- eral thousands in excess of last year.
 On account of the rivalry that ex- ists between Phoenix .Bisbee, Tucson and several other cities in AriozIa, there now seems to be no limit to the number of racing stakes that have been guaranteed. The fair commis- sioners hope that like last year none of those guaranteed stakes will be called upon to make them good.
 Speaking this morning about the liberal spirit that is being shown in all parts of the territory, MT. Pack ard stated to the Enterprise that it has been far in excess of what Le hoped for during his most sangurne moments. Several cities have given far in excess of what could be expect ed from them.
 Had anyone told me that the cities of Arizona would respond so readily to our requests for stakes remarked Mir. Packard, T would not have pe- lieved them. IL can be truthfully said that the territorial fair is an Arizona institution, for outside of Phoenix have found just as much pride in the success of the fair as l have here in Phoenix.
 The southern part of Arizona wants to see Arizona have one of the biggest and best fairs in November that will be held in any part of the west. That they are sincere in this is evidenced by the manner in which they are giving stakes, as well as the large number who are making arrange ments to come here.
 T feel safe in predicting that the attendance this year will exceed that of last What was done last Noven- ber has convinced even the most skeptical that this fair is permanent, and that with the support of Ari- zcuans it's success is not matter of the least doubt"
 Mir. Packard believes that more fast horses will be in Phoenix this winter than have ever before gathered at any of the western tracks at the same season of the year. Concerning the cattle exhibits he holds that more blooded stock will be seen at the fair grounds than has ever been TO- gether in any western state or ter ritCry.

 The first experiment. of the summer camp for the benefit of Bisbes mem bers of the Y. M c. A. has proved 9 great success. The plan has met with the warmest commendation on every hand and there is little doubt that next year will find the number in attendance much larger than the initial opening.
 The summer camp, while not an ex- pertinent so far as the '. M. c. A. is concerned, is novel departure in Bisbee athletic circles and fills long felt want among the men who spend their time during the greater part of the year at indoor employment. but who, when summer comes find them selves unable to spend any iong period away from their duties.
 The management of the camp IS praised on every hand, Secretary Pol lard and Physical Director Buchner coming in for their share of the plau. dits of those who enjoyed the balmy air and comfortable surroundings of Bisbee Y. NJ C. As first summer camping ground.
