Arizona Considered
 Worlds Sanitarium

Arizona as the sanitarium of the nation is becoming to be an accepted fact throughout the land, not only by the medical fraternity but by the peo- pie al large. Many hea tn resorts are being established in Arizona. Ssni- tsriums on differen, plans are being erected with s view Of meeting the de- mands of the many health seekers who are streaming to the great south vest to take advantage Of the healing cline which prevails here without ces- sation. It has become sn accepted fact that one of the largest and most perpetual wealth assets Of Arizona is her climate The people must come il they would enjoy it. It is not a commodity that can be transported, but must be utilized at the place oi its location. One of the most threat enIng scourges common to every part of the United States is that of the white plague In the north, east and south consumption is claiming more victims than all other diseases m bined Its ravages aye fearful! The only hope of checking this plague is the germicidsi climate of Arizona and New Mexico.
 Here is fact which is being grad- ually recognized by the national gnv- ernment The establishment at Fort Bayard, in New Mexico, of a sani- tarium for invalid soldiers is a step in the right direction There is no bet ter opportunity for the national gov ernnent to go a step farther and utilize Fort Grant, ip Arizona, which has been abandoned as military post, and upon which there is half a mill lion dollars worth of good buildings absolutely uuoccupied e,cept by small guard 1.-the government does not wish to utilize this naturally To- lated sanitariun, then let it be turned over to the government for the estab- lishment by a national organization of a health resort for the thousands seeking restoration to health in thi. cline. Tine national board of char ities would be good institution to ciothe with the power necessary to carry on a project of this magnitude. Having these buildings and this reser- vation at its disposal and use, it would have at once an available asset of a million and . half dollars in value. The suggestion is made with the hope that the government or some national organization will take hold ci the pro- ject

Fights For Control
 Of Arizona Property

May k Clark, one of the few Ari. zons women who have aspired to suc- cess as mining exp r.s, is engaged in bitter fight for control of the prop erty of the Liberty Mining < smelt- ing company.
 Mrs. Clark brought suit in the dis trict court at Tucson agsInst tine Liberty company, and it's officers, al- leging that che had been elected general manager, but that the Liberty compa y's officials had refused to allow her to con,inus in that capaci. ty.
 In her complaint she asked that she be allowed to act as general manager, and that damages to the amount of BIO, 900 be allosed her by reason of her being kept from the po- sition by other officials Of the com pany.
 In their answer the off ;ials Of the ! LiDVisy SO'hPah' haNc oCNcid otu- sational allegations, among them be. ing one that the plaintiff had repre- seuted herself to be d thoroughly competent mine engineer and able to put the mine on a dividend paying basis, which they allege she failed to do.
 l Stili another allegation in the an- Swer of the defendants was that Mrs. Clark has received S2)OOO of the ,mp4ny's fund, from the sale of stock, and that sine had m sappropri. at' d much oi it to her own use, do- ing work on the property that cost less than Sl000i.
 They allege that Mrs Clark was wholly unfit to act AS general man .. ager; that she hal diverted company funds from the channel in which they should go, asking hat her books be brought into court SO that they -ould be examined and an accounting made.
 The case has attracted much at- tention because of woman being in- volved as the general manager of a mine, and the sensational charges made a0ainst her.

Power of the Press
 Recognized by Indians

A delegation of Pima chiefs. repre-
 senting four villages. called at the Blade sanctum Wednesday to make com-
 plaint against the agent at Sacaton for cutting their dams and turning their water down to the agency farm
 The chief Of the Blackwster village stated that his people had maintained the Blackwster dam continuously for forty years and he cannot understand how the government could rig htfully cut tha. dam and turn their water down to the agency farm, and the other chiefs of the party took the came view of their dams. claiming that they had prior right to the water by years of prior use thereof. As near ss We could gather, the 900 pumping plant by which the agency farm is irrigated, broke down aud the farm had to be irrigated from the Blade.
 The fact Cf these Indians calling on a newspaper to tell their troubles slows that they are fully abresst of the modern trend of thought. Al newspaper in itself, and its endless chain of exchanges, and the exchanges of the exchanges, talks to millions of people, and if the talk has merit, the sentiment thus created on rushing waves of thought willsweep the shores of destiny and direct the course of that power which men blindly call Courier.

Tombstone epitaph., 1907-05-26

The city of Globe now lays claim to being the lead ing mining camp of the en- tire southwest, a claim that is based upon the fact that that mining field is larger in area than any one other proven section on the Pacific coast For more than a quarter of a century past the Old Do minion was supposed to be the only mine in that district where, at the present. time dozens of only partially de veloped mines contribute gen. erously, and surprisingly so, to the worlds demand for copper and other precious metals.
 The Old Dominion, up to within a short while ago, was operated by the bulls and bears of Boston to the detriment of the Globe district, hurtful to other sections of Arizona, pre- judicial to mining in general by enveloping the business with stigma calculated Ito deter cautious capital from engaging in the industry. All is now changed. A new man agement has made of the mine a legitimate producer and con- sequently a dividend payer. Its wonderful and apparently inexhaustible resources have been demonstrated by con- tinuous and increasing outrut of bullion, imbuing others with confidence that finds sub- stantial reward in any section of that great mineral zone when mining is conducted along legitimate lines.
 These truths are applicable to any other mineral field of Arizona, verifications of which are found in the Dragons, the Huachucas. and other ranges ofmountains encircling Tombstone. These several sections have but just begun to attract attention; men of means are investing heavily and as development is prose- cuted in accordance with modern methods ore bodies of great extent and core

FOR OLYMPIC GAMES OF 1908.
London Is Erecting a Stadium That
Will Seat $4,000.

Your everyday Englishman pretends
tu a sublime superiority to that Amer
lean wcakness-the love Of the mere
bigness Of things. 1t is only pretense,
however, as witness the universal sat
isfaction throughout this tight little
isle" over the fact that the mammoth
stadium now in the course OF erection
for the Olympic games of 1908 Is to be
the largest Of it's kind in the world.
Nor need one begrudge our cousins
this qualification, for the new struc-
ture promises to be a marvel indeed.
For size capacity and equipment II
will establish a record that is not
likely to be disturbed for some time.
Not its least claim to attention Is
the fact that the new stadium, the
first stanchion of which was raised
last week, will dim the glory of the
Greek one at Athens, which in point
of size has been supreme these many
years. That ancient structure Will
hold close upon $4,000 people-not an
ipconsiderable crowd-but the London
stadium to be will dwarf the magnifi-
cent distances of that classic athletic
field Inside the big oval at Shep-
herds Bush it would be possible for
some Titan hand to place the Olympic
stadium and yet have ample room for
the respective arenas Of Madison
Square Garden and the Chicago Go
scum" And even then, II the same
hand could shake the whole parcel,
the contents would rattle considerably.
There will be seats for nearly $4,000
people-or more than five times the
number Madison Square Garden can
accommodate, in the tiers that will
encircle the immense field Of the new
stadium. From end to end the COM
pleted structure will measure a thou
sand feet and across it's smaller axis
600 feet will just overlap its extremes.
A bicycle track of less than three laps
to the mile will skirt the tiers OF
seats, and within that a running track
Of three laps to the mile will trace the
confines of the immense green oval In
the centre. Along one side OF the
running track, in full view of all the
spectators, a tank Of 100 meters in
length and twelve feet in depth over
it's greater part will make swimming
and diving contests possible.
The new stadium is being built Of
steel and concrete The architecture
is pretentious and even verges on ella
borateness at times. There is no idea
of making it a permanent institution,
and it will probably disappear soon
after the close of the Franco-British
exhibition, in the grounds Of which 1t
stands. 1t will cost very nearly $780,
900 and the dressing rooms and ac-
commodations for competitors and
visitors alike will be unique in their
completeness and comfort.

first wildly and hear him howl 'Janua-
ry!' and then maybe you'd see some
body raise his hand and hear him
shout February and there was an
other man that stood at the ringside
and screamed 'October!' These were
bids for or offerings Of cotton for fu-
ture deliveries, / suppose, and they
were all the words l could make out;
for the rest there was just that contin-
uous swinging of hands in the air and
that continuous din Of voices, with the
telegraph battery playing away on the
other side of the big room.
There was one thing here that we
couldn't see, we being in the visitors
gallery. looking down on the floor Of
the exchange, and this thing I speak
o. being out of sight under us. Look
ing down we could see below a long
row Of electric lights with long re-
fector over them, throwing light
somewhere, we fancied on a black
board under us on that side Of the
room, where they posted prices and
sales and bulletins. There was appar-
emily a platform there in front Of this
board we could occasionally see down
there under the row Of electric lights
the head Of what appeared to be a
young man moving along there with
entire calmness and putting things
down on the board, calm and easy
through all the uproar on the floor.
Then, suddenly, at five minutes to
8 o'clock, a gong high up on one Of the
pillars Of the big room began changing
clamorously and that seemed to excite
everybody around the pit. Whereas a
moment before there had been some
men there not bowling or shaking
their fists and there had been two or
three men even sitting down, now ev-
eryboby howled and everybody shook
his fist, and there was one man that I
thought would sure now break himself
in two on the railing, and there was
one man that now began hurling cotton
bales with both hands; and so they
stood there around the pit screaming
and bowling and gesticulating louder
and wilder than ever for five minutes
on end. till that gong set up it's clam
oring again at p. m., and five minutes
later the big room was quiet.
You say you've never been to the
Cotton Exchange. Well, I think 1t
would pay you to look in there some
day when the market is lively. I'm
going there again, myself, before go
away ?"-New York Sun.
