A QUIET CAMPAIGN WELL OUTLINED

The present campaign-the
 result of which is fraught
 with much moment to the
 people of Arizona-is creat-
 ing less excitement than pre-
 vious contests when danger
 was not so apparent. Realiz- ing the grave conditions that confront us, party lines have been obliterated for the while and both Democrats and Re publicans are agreed upon Marcus A. Smith as the one man capable of thwarting the impending danger and pre- serving O. r dignity as a com monwealth. Smith will carry Cochise County by 90 per cent, while the Democratic ticket of the county will be elected by the biggest vote and the largest majority ever recorded in this section.

A FEW SAMPLES THAT
 SHOULD CONSTITUTE FRAUD

The American Mining Con- gress will attempt to stamp out h ,se evils characterized under the head of mining frauds. The Daily Mining Record of Denver outlines a partial list of what may be aptly termed frauds, as fol- lows:-
 Fraud consists in making state ments; that is one way to put it. Fraud also consists in robbing the public of m 'ney; that's another way to put it But just HOW this fraud is aquestion that calls for finer screen. Fraud may consist of putting in property at a purchase price that is not right. To buy group of claims for $500 and turn them into one's own company for $5O,00O and pocket the difference, constitutes a fraud-if one is caught.
 2-To gay that the property con- tains veins or values that it cannot show, is another form of fraud.
 3-'o state that there is more wo k done than has been done, should also be included.
 4-To assert that the property is patented, when it is held by location, is likewise false and iusti6es punish ment.
 5-To declare that the property is owned, when it is held under bond and lease, should also be penal lie. 6-To publish the purchase of ma. chinery that has not been bought. be. longs in the s,me clsss. 7-To state that work is being done when the property is idle, is also done to misrepresent.
 S-Lying about transportation ia cilities, water, timber, cost of labor, o' similar details, ought to go under the same head.
 9-Selling ones promotion stock when treasury shares are offered, ii another crime.
 10-Charging up false expense to ( company is deserving of some more legal action.
 l n-U-ing catch phrases to mislesd such as stating that a groperty is ad- ;scent, when it is supposed to be ad joining needs little more treatment by statute-snd turnkey.
 l2-Paying dividends out of tho money received from stock sales, ex cept where the enterprise does "bump' and is properly administered by law should come in for some more stren- uous treatment.
 And we might go on, chapter after chapter, dragging in the fellows who report $50 coo ore when only . small pocket shouei that kind of stuff. We also might include the promoters who say false things about surrounding properties, in order to make theirs good.

Arizona Great
 Growth Continues

Those who seek to show that Ari-
 zons is of unstable growth, with
 ephemeral prosperity, could be shown
 in the United States postal statistics
 absolute refutation of their conten-
 tion. There is no better index to the
 real growth of community than the
 receipts of local postoffice. The more
 intelligent the community the better
 patronized is the postofiice. Arizona stands the test with the highest de- gree of credit. making . much better showing than many communities of much greater age.
 Responding to ( request. Postmas- ter-General George B. Cortelyou has furnished the Los Angeles Times with tabulation showing the tot l busi- ness of the Arizona postoffices for each of the years from 1897 to 1905, inclu. siye The territory's rank in numbe. offices has remained steadily at No 46, though the number of offices has increased year by year from l97 to 268. The business done and the amount per capita spent for pos.age for the year 1905 was $249.O 20.
 according to the last report of the auditor for the postofice department, in 1905, Arizona. Arizona deposited surplus money order funds amount ng to $3,l71 .305, practically the same ss deposited by Maryland, South Ds- kota and Utah, and greater than the deposits of Idaho. Delaware, Ken lucky, Nevada. New Hampshire, New North Csrolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Yer mont or Wyoming. Delaware dspos- ted only $3S9, ,79s, Nevada $1,O74,6S4, md New Mexico $1.374,74s. The money order business done by all the 'ffices show Arizona ahead of seven of he states, though supposed to rank ,ext to the lowest in point of populs- ion. A tsbulation of the domestic money order business done in each of he eight follova.
