made by. that company in offering stock for sale would not impress any one having knowledge Of conditions in Arizona The London-Arizona property is a iong ways from the Copper Queen, though we believe it is located in a country where devel- opment is warranted. As we under. stand it this property is as yet almost wholly undeyeloped. yet it is asserted in an inferential way that sufficient ore is in sight to keep a mining force and equipment equal to that of the Copper Queen busy for ITO years to extract it We mention this London Arizona company because we regard its representations as being about the rankest we have ever seen concern ing an rndeveloped mining property in Arizona.
 Arizona needs more money for the development of mines and a good way to secure it is by letting t be known that mining sharks cannot ply their vocation here without exposure.

Bisbee continues to grow and grow and grow. The substantial improve ments during the present year in ev' cry section of the city has been re markable. Main street has been made almost entirely new during the past two years. And yet Bisbee is in its youth as a city. At Douglas the min, ing companies have planned addi tions to their smelting plants which will call for more than 4OO0 tons of ore daily from the Warren district in addition to the present output of the mines. Here is. a pointer which indi cates something of the continued flu. ture growth of Bisbee. It is an ex. pectation within reason that one year from today there will rot be less than 1000 miners employed in the War ren district

Senator Bacon. of Georg,a, is right in declaring that all talk ot democrats not being available for the presidency because they live in the south is no longer pertinent The south and southern men have long since proved their loyalty and not only that but there is as much calm and reliable conservatism in the south today as may be found in any other section of the country.

TAXING NoN-PRoDucINo MINES IN ARIZONA.


 The territorial board of equalization will meet at the territorial capital next Monday for the purpose of reach ing final determination of values of the various classes of assessable proper ty throughout Arizona.
 As to Cochise county property the only question raised by the territorial board is the value to be fixed on the non-producing patented mines. The county board, after much discussion and consideration of the value to be placed on this class of property, de- termined to fix the minimum valua- tion on these non-producing mines at s5 per acre. This is the value placed on the properties upon which no work is being done; other than non-produc- CTS, which are under development, were assessed at a higher valuation.
 The territorial board is reported to be of the belief that $20 per acre should be the minimum value on non producing mines. It is said that at the meeting next week this equaliza- ton board will set aside the action of the local board in placing the bulk of the non-producing mines of Co., chise county at s5 per acre. It is to be hoped that this will not be done. as 1t would be forcing an injustice on much of the property of this coun- ty.
 Many of the nOn-producing mines of Cochise county are owned by com panies and individuals who have ex- pended large sums of money in many cases on their development without discovering anything of commercial value One property in point is the Copper Glance, lying in the hills be tween Douglas and Bisbee. The own CTS of this group of forty or more claims spent two hundred thousand dollars in a search for ore. No ore in commercial quantities and value were encountered. The machinery in cluding an up-to-date development plant, was sold and removed from the property; not desiring to forfeit all possibility of ever recouping losses already sustained the Glance group was patented. We mention the Glance as an instance; there are many eth CTS like it in Cochise county. Ger tainly a valuation of even s per acre on the Glance property is arbitrary; its value is absolutely nil, so far as present indications go In the future development work on different lines might show ore, but until value is established such mining properties should be assessed only at a nominal figure This was the idea of the leg islature when it passed the bullion tax law in order that real value and not prospective value be made the basis for taxing mines in Arizona.
 The territorial board should not dis turb the action taken by the Cochise county board in fixing the basis for taxing non-producing mines.

Indications point to general tie-up of the telegraph business throughout the country The strike has reached nearly all the large cities already and it looks like both the companies and the operators have their necks bowed for a determined struggle. This strike started in Los Angeles because the union operators refused to work with

WILD CAT
 RAINING ScHEM ES.

One of the best measures intro sfuced during the last session of the legislature was the one making it felony for any officer UI a mining company in this territory to make or publish any false statement concern ing mining property as a means of selling stock in any mining company or as a means of selling the property itself. The measure was defeated we believe because of a fear that the pas sage of such law might give out the impression that Arizona was a special field for the operation of mining faI1irs and "wildcatters" It is to be regretted that this law was not placed on the statute books; if there was such a law we have in mind one or two mining prospectuses now appear ing which would probably be placed under its ban
 Several propositions !n both Ari- zona and Sonora now being given pub licity bear unmistakable earmarks of rank faking. It is the duty of every man who owns legitimate proposi- ton 10 expose this species of rascali- ty which not only robs those duped into buying stock in these so-called mines with millions in sight" but also does great harm in alarming cap ital and making it hard to attract for the legitimate development of deserv- ing properties.
 Arizona is perhaps richer in miner al resources than any other subdivi- sion of the United States; it contains large areas of undeveloped country where money may be invested in de- yelopment work with excellent oppor- ztunities to win fortunes. It is a good business venture to invest money in the development Of promising mining prospects, for if success is attained in uncovering ore bodies the profits will be great. The Copper Queen was once only a prospect; the same is true of the Calumet and Arizona, the United Verde, the Old Dominion and other great properties of the territory. But there should be the greatest care exercised by investors in putting their money into development companies that have proven nothing on the'r mines and whose sole claim IS facts recited about what has been se. eompHshed by the Copper Queen and the c. and A. at Bisbee. the United Verde in the Jerome district and so on. IL is better to know all about conditions surrounding mining prop erty, who is managing It, etc, before buying the stock
 The Copper Queen and other rich mines sn Arizona have recently been given great prominence in the adver- tis.d prospecsusses of the London Ar:zona; such representations as

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMoR.
Plthy Remarks from One Of the Fore
most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera-
ment the bird in the bush has scant
notion of doubling its value by chang
ing to the hand.
A has-been is a man who has spent
his time with hair vigors, electric
brushes and newspaper recipes, when
he should have been winning laurel
wreath to cover his ignominy with.
When you enter a shop state just
what you want. For then the mer-
chant can go intelligently to work to
sell you something else. The great
law of commerce is to sell people
what they don't want. What they do
want will sell itself.
But, probably it is no harder to live
up to your reputation when you are
young than it will be to live it down
when you are older.-Puck.

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.

The following colloqiy is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry,
under orders to support a section OF
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite while on a perfectly fat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
OF the Filipino trenches. OF course to
lie fat on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. As a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were 'plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel, a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike, what do the British SOL
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as flash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,
sorrl"
After full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
However. be that as it may, / wish
/ could pick up this d. road and
stan it on edge feminist mel"

HOW HE FOUND THE KEY.
Brothers Method Was Simple, but
Also Somewhat Costly.

Miss Dresswell had just returned,
after spending week with a country
friend. Imagine her CONSERVATION
when she discovered her previously
well-stocked wardrobe empty!
Gracious, George!" she said to her
brother Where are all my clothes?
And what in the world is that great
black patch on the lawn?"
The face of George exhibited all the
well-known signs of conscious right
eousness. and he met her gaze un-
fiinchingly.
"Maria," he replied consolingly, you
wrote to me that If l wanted the key
of the billiard room l should find it in
the pocket of your bolero."
yes. yes!"
"Well, / don't know bolero from a
fichu or a box pleat. so took all the
things to the lawn and burnt them.
Then l recovered the key from the
ashes"

is now thawing slowly on the kitchen

His Word Not Good.

John and Jim agreed to settle a
difference by fighting it out. 1t was
understood that whoever wanted to
quit should cry 'nough!" John got
Jim down and was hammefing him
soundly, when Jim cried 'nough!"
But John paid no attention to his cry
and kept on pounding him. Again and
again Jim called out though! But
John paid no heed and kept busy with
his fists. A boy standing near asked:
''Why don't you let the feller up?
He's yelled "'nough!"
But he's such liar you can't be-
'ieve him."

Napoleon as a Subaltern.

AS larky subaltern Napoleon ap-
pears in the Memoirs of the First
Empire" by Gen. Girois. The Little
Corporal himself, when emperor, told
party of officers. among whom was
the writer, how he played practical
jokes on his colonel when he was a
lieutenant of artillery. 1--WE had a neat
way of astounding our chiefs by the
accuracy OF our gun practice" said
Napoleon. I'VE just tied string to
the target, and after the shot, before
the smoke had risen, gunner crept
up and pulled the string, overturning
the target. Thus all our shots were
hits. We also had a colonel who was
stone deaf and we used to fire blank
cartridges, telling him we had fired
ball. He would spend hours hunting
for traces of the shots" One wonders
what Napoleon would have said il his
own subalterns had served him with
the same tricks.-London Telegraph.

Tigers Courage Above Lions.

A curious story as illustrating the
difference in courage between a lion
and Bengal tiger is told by an old
Snowman: "One day, in order to make
test. we placed firecracker in the
respective cages and lighted the fuses
AS soon as they began to burn they
attracted the attention of both ami
mails, but in widely different man
ner. The lion withdrew into a cor
ner and watched the proceedings with
distrustful and uneasy eye. The
tiger, on the contrary, advanced to
the burning fuse with firm step and
unflinching gaze. On reaching the
cracker he took his paw and began
to roll 1t over the floor, and when 1t
exploded beneath his very nose, he
did not finch, but continued his ex-
animation until perfectly satisfied. The
lion betrayed great fear when he
heard the report of the explosion, and
for quite time could not be coaxed
put of his den."

First lesson for a Child.

'The first time a child has a sense
Of responsibility is when he has to de-
eide whether his shoes fit or not" said
mother of five little ones. I'VE
have to put the decision on the little
tots themselves, for no mother, no
matter how many intuitions she may
have. can possibly tell whether shoe
pinches here, fits tight there, or slips
on the heel. 1t is always a delight
to me when l have taken my children
In for their first pair of hard Shoes
as they call them. At first they act
bewildered when l insist that they
alone know whether the shoes hurt
or not, for they have been SO used to
listening to my opinion and ultimatum
on all matters of clothes. Then they
look serious, almost ready to cry, and
finally they get down to business and
try to tackle this problem of the fit
of shoes. 1t worries them a good deal
and l always feel a little sorry when
/ see their anxious looks, for it means
they've had their first taste of respon-
sibility and begin to realize that mama
is not going to settle everything in life
for them"
