GOOD AND FAKE ADvERTIs-
/. ING.

The value of newspapers to COM
munities, we fear, is sometimes very
poorly appreciated by even those who
enjoy the best benefits of their ser
vice to the vicinities. ~
"A great deal has been said and
written about the good locals papers
do, and journalists and business men
have grown profoundly eloquent on
the subject and always in laudation
of the home newspapers. The gem
eral public has time after time read
strong but practical and descriptive
articles along this line, and with
scarcely an exception these have
been commendatory Of the local
papers. So it is needless here to
present in detail these we'll known
features of the influence of the local
papers. Suffice it to say no place
of any size in population is worthy
of mention. unless it has its news
paper, and to the outside world it is
practically off the map. 1t may al
so be observed here, without the
slightest degree of egotism on the
part of the newspaper fraternity or
any one connected or associated
with the publication Of newspaper.
that the local paper, if at all alert
to its duty and mission, is among the
greatest developers a city or town
can have, and that too not only
commercially and industrially, but
also educatDnally and religiously.
There is no occasion or no circum-
stance when such a paper does not
feel delight and take pride in lend
ing its efforts to the encouragement
of local development and is always
happy to see the place growing
greater and better. The coming OF
a factory, no matter what its size,
causes the local newspaper to re-
joice, and the coming of an import
ant railroad would throw it into
ecstacies. 1t mentions with pleas
IRE even a new store, church or
school. In short, its heart is deyot-
ed 10 tIl9 city's besa welfare end Il
knows no other desire.
In this attitude it has no SELFISH
ness for it knows that i can not
possibly reap the reward thai Others
do from the advancement. But II
does not complain.
1t extends its columns to adver-
tisers and especially the merchants
in the honest conviction that it will
aid them in their business, and is
keenly disappointed, if once in a
long time that help is not manifest.
And it is always gratifed, when the
returns to the merchants are many
fold.
So far as Clarksburg is concerned
reasonable prices are charged by the
local papers for advertising and the
best service possible under the cir
eumstances is given. The Tele-
gram knows that this service has
been and is of great value to mer-
chants and they know it, too.
Besides the newspapers Of the city

There is long list of successful
and corrections Of evils.
These have all been brought about
during the administration Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and he is the only
President that ever tackled the real
octopus, which is the Standard Oil
Company. Yet Democratic papers
are so disturbed over the very prob
able beneficial outcome, that they
are gravly doubling, or protesting to
1T least, whether any thing can be
accomplished. It is certain moth
ing can bc doaa u failure to try and
Roosevelt certainly means to try.
The throwing of cold water by
Doubling Thomases will not deter
him, and they might as we'll make
up their minds that he is bent on
correcting evils that may exist with
the Standard.

The chronic ailments it has prevented,

But ut least this much can be said that
tho coming generation owes great
debt to Peruna, for it is in tho tender
years of youth that slight ailments are
liable to develop into lasting disease,
thus blasting the whole career of tho
individual.
The mothers who are bringing up their

That Jointure Hitch.

The Republicans surmise yesterday that the cause given by the house joint-statehood leaders for a postpone ment of action on the Hamilton bill was merely a screen to hide the un- certainty in which Speaker Cannon territories find themselves. is shown hv q special dispatch from MT. Charles C. Randolph, to have been a correct one.
 MT. Tawney's position is stronger than 1t was before the holidays. instead of weaker. It has evidently been fore ed upon the speaker that the "insur- gents" meant what they said when they declined to go into a "caucus" and when they refused beforehand to be bound by any action of the "con- ference" in relation to the joint state hood question. Nothing certainly oc- them to change their minds. They were not permitted to give the rea- sons for their faith. The whole time was taken up by the friends of the statehood bill and by the speaker near the close with a speech in support ot his contention that the conference, In spite of the agreement was as binding as a caucus.
 Since then neither MT. Tawney nor his supporters have been saying much; ; they have kept up a thinking which seems to have become contagious and to have been communicated to Messrs. Cannon and Hamilton.
 It appears therefore that there is much to be hoped for in tne house MT. Tawney is not a man who would likely be swayed by either president or speaker, and he has never formed the habit of heading hopeless fights. It is quite possible that the senate will not be annoyed by the joint-statehood bill after all. At any rate, the joint ure movement seems for the moment at least to have a catch in the side"

THE M0WRY MINE
 HISTORIC PROPERTY
It Was Once in Possession of the Gov.
 ernment.

The surveyor general has issued in structions to Philip Contzen, United States deputy mineral surveyor at Tue | son, Arizona, to survey fourteen lode | mining claims, situated in the Pata- gonia mining district, Santa Cruz
 county, claimed by the Mowry Mines company.
 The old Mowry property was patent
 ed under the name of the Enterprise mining claims and the Mowry Mines company has recently completed and begun the operation of a new smeltcr
 there, Albert Steinfeld of Tucson and a
 man named Silverton, being the nov ing spirits of the Mowry company It
 is designed to develop and work the ore bodies of these surrounding claims,
 believed to he extensions of the rich
 veins developed on the Mowry prop erty. Tha new smelter is said to be
 working satisfactorily to its owners.
 The old Mowry Is probably the most historic mine in the territory, having once been confiscated by the govern ment during the civil war. The re- mobilization Of the old mine makes timely a relation of the unusual incl dent in it's early history. It was own ed by Lieutenant Mowry of the United States army when the civil war broke out. Lieutenant Mowry it is said was southern sympathizer and quit the army, coming to Arizona and devoting his attention to the operation of his mine which was then known as a great producer of lead and silver. In some way the story gained currency that Lieutenant Mowry was operating the property in the interests of the con- fhof ha emissaries of the United States govern ment took possession of the mine and kept it for sometime. The sympathies of Lieutenant Mowry and the great need of the south for lead at one time or another, gave color to the story. In a book published by Lieutenant Mowry after the war, he denies that he worked the mine for the benefit of the con- federacy and it is quite likely he told the truth about it, but the interesting fact remains that the mine was once held by the government.
 It is said that the Mowry of the pres ent day is mainly a copper property, carrying also good values in silver. the lead seeming to have given way to cop per. And this illustrates a point that has been made so often as to be no longer new, and that is that Arizona mines contain whatever is needed Twenty-Five years ago silver was the rage and everybody was hunting a sil- yer mine. Many were found and work ed and when silver dropped they were abandoned. Arizona was then known as silver country with only here and there profitable gold led0A But when gold became the one thing needful the prospector went after gold and found Arizona full of it. Many of the old mines which were worked for silver were later turned into gold mines. That is the gold lodges were sought for in the same vicinity
 All this time there was noted many indications of copper but nobody want ed to bother with a copper mine under the conditions then prevailing and

Where 1t May Hurt.

As has been before remarked, there need be no general perturbation about the troubles of the dealers in Wal street The prediction, therefore. of Banker Jacob Schiff yesterday whicf "sent tremor through the speculative fabric Of the stock market" can have no bearing upon general conditions throughout the country A panic be- side which all previous panics would be as child's play" unless there should be a revision of the currency system of the country need not strike terror to tbose who are not engaged in stock speculation, or who are not more or less intimately connected with those who are so engaged.
 There is no direct relation between the prosperity of Wall street and the prosperity of the country.
 Whatever relation has ever been ap- parent has been inverse. It has gener- ally happned that when the country has been the most prosperous, stock trading has been the dullest and when the country has been disturbed hy' panics, Wall street has been placid and serene.
 That was especially true during the panic which began in 1S93 Banks throughout the country from which the props of public confidence had been removed were crashing, and hardly an echo of the turmoil was heard in the stock market.
 Within the last six months, indeed some of the troubles of the stock spec ulators have been attributed to pros porous conditions throughout the country. Money was too scarce in There were various causes of the scarcity, one important one being the withdrawal of large sums to the west to be used in the movement of crops
 However black the sky of the spec- ulator may be there is no cloud above the producer, the toiler, the merchant. Bradstreets concludes a resume of the business of 1905 with the following prediction for 1906:
 'If satisfaction with the past and confidence in the future are at all re- liable guides, 1906 is likely to equal. if indeed it does not surpass, the year drawing to a close. The volume of or ders booked ahead exceeds any pre- vious year in the country's history, and high prices as yet seem to exer- else no effect upon consumptive de- mand.

of land near enough to the business center of Phoenix so that a man could do business in the city and live on a small place in the country. Having this in view I have purchased so acres lying 3-4 mile west of the fair ground on the Christy road. The ground lays just right for subdividing into 5, 10 and 20 acre tracts and each tract fronting on the Christy coun- ty roads. The soil is of the richest alluvial and of the best straw berry land in the valley. With the land there is a water right in the Mar icopa canal and an independent lateral belonging exclusively to this tract of land, all the way from the canal to the land. I am going to put this tract on the market at $100 to $125 per acre for a short time. This is far below the value of land in this immediate vicinity and I am justified in saying that the surroundings are of the best in the valley. It also has the proximity of the street car to Phoenix. If you want something that will double in value in year or two. Here is your chance.
