Court House Notes.

The old board of supervisors met on Monday of last week for a last session and approved bonds of incom- ing officials and passed on a large bunch of election bills. The session was not long, owing to the careful and painstaking work of Geo. Carl ton, clerk of the board, who had the work well in hand, thereby greatly facilitating the completion of the boards work. Wednesday morning found the new officers at work.
 The board of supervisors met and quickly made their appointments and settled down to business. The office of district attorney was conceded to MT. Stratton without question, it be- ing the opinion of the board that the expressed will of the people should be carried out. MT. Stratton will appear before the supreme court of the territory this month to take the required examination.
 A. G. McAlister was elected clerk of the board, receiving two votes while Geo. Carlton received one. John Birdno won the assessorship in a walk.
 The county officers were required to give bond as follows: Treasurer, S75, ,OOO- s25, 900 as required by statute and $50, 1000 additional bond fixed by the board; sheriff, $l0,OO0; school superintendent, $1 ,OOO; probate judge, 8, ,OOO, he also giving S2,0OO bond as townsite trustee and 1000 as clerk of the probate court; district at torney, S2,OOO; recorder, S3,OOO; as sessor, 5000 bond required by law and S5,OOO additional fixed by the board: surveyor, S1,OOO; supervisors, $5, GOO.

THE coal famine, it seems, extends throughout the entire west, and is due to a shortage of cars. It seems that the country is so very prosper ous that cars cannot be made fast enough to supply the increased de- mand in all kinds of business. Crops cannot be moved, and all lines of business are severely crippled. In the great northwest thousands of people are suffering for fuel, not be- cause the mines are not producing it, but because the railroads fail to provide transportation facilities. It is also interfering materially with the output of mines and smelters throughout the west. The govern ment will investigate, and will en- deavor to see that the roads increase their rolling stock sufficiently to han dle the business offered them.

GREENE GOT THEM CHEAP.
Paid $l,6OO for the Original Copper
 Claims of Greene.

The copper deposits of Cananea which have now been capitalized at S5O,OO0,OO were originally obtained by Colonel Greene with S1, ,600 bor- rowed money. His side partner in this venture was "Ed" Massey, an uncut diamond of the southwest. I was down in Mexico some time ago and met Massey at Jesus Maria, Chi huahua, where he was doing some pioneer work for Greene. Massey told me he and Greene, while pros pecting for gold further south in Sonora, journeyed north to Cananea, looking for copper. There are an- tiguas there, and it was a sort of tradition of the country that there was a lot of copper at Cananea if anybody could locate it. Greene and Massey borrowed $16OO and took up some claims at Cananea, and within seven years they had the fourth lar gest producer in the country.-"Mo- hawk" in Wall Street Bulls and Bears.

THE railroad officials of Arizona have issued strict orders to all em- ployes to observe the Hepburn act to the very letter, which cuts off all free transportation within the terri tory. Politicians who have formerly secured transportation on their ''pull" will now have to "dig up'' or Chit the grit" It will also be pretty hard on the judges and other federal officials. Newspaper men will also find travelling more expensive, but they are rich any way and can stand it, and besides that the railroads will be compelled to advertise, for which they will pay cash instead of trahs- portation. The members of the legislature will also be in a position to look at certain matters through different spectacles.

A PETITION is being circulated and

A PETITION is being circulated and generally signed throughout the county protesting against the ap- pointment of a citizen of Illinois for clerk of the district court. Judge Nave has an enviable reputation as a jurist, and the people of this county regardless for party affiliation, hold him in high regard, but they cer- tainly do not approve of his policy of appointing a nonresident to an office which so many home men are capable of filling. The ERA has no ax to grind in this matter, and cares not whom the judge may select, so long as he be resident of the district. The republican national platform promised us this, and we are there fore entitled to it, not only as repub- licans, but as citizens and tax payers. If the judge is not satisfied with the republicans who applied for the posi- tion, let him appoint a democrat, or a socialist, who is a resident of the district. The petition in circulation reads as follows:
 eve, the undersigned republicans of Graham county, most respectfully, but earnestly, protest against the ap- pointment of a nonresident of the territory to the office of clerk of the district court of Graham county.
 "We call your attention to the declaration of the republican party in national convention assembled, that All federal officers appointed for the territories should be selected from the bonafide residents thereof, and the right of self-government should be accorded as far as prac- ticable.
 "If there can be found any excuse for deviating from this rule in the federal positions where the compen- sation is paid by the United States, certainly none can be found where the office is one created by act of the Arizona legislature and is sup ported by the taxpayers and litigants of the county where located. We consider this violation of a princi- pie dear to the hearts of all true Americans-a principle repeatedly recognized and recommended by the national conventions of our party. We feel certain that your action was taken without full consideration of the principle involved and that your sense of fairness will, after more mature consideration, dictate different course. We have no desire to dictate as to who shall receive the appointment, but most earnestly re- quest that some one be named who is a resident of Graham county, or, at least, a resident of the territory of Arizona ;'

THE Graham Guardian, in strong editorial, recommends the passing of law creating a circuit court for Arizona. The judges of this court would be elective by the people, and would have jurisdiction in all matters except United States business. Ar appeal from this court would be heard by the federal judges, who re- ceive their appointment from the president. About the only advantage that the ERA can see in such a court would be in the fact that appeals would not be heard by judges that had presided on the cases in the lower courts. So far we have heard a no complaints as to the honor, in tegrity or ability of the men now presiding as district judges, and should complaints be made, it is an easy matter to secure their removal, provided the complaints can be sub stantiated. The change in our pres ent system would add considerable extra cost in maintaining our courts, which would fall upon the shoulders of the tax payers. However, itseems to be a measure which meets with the approval of the lawyers gener- ally, and they are supposed to under stand existing conditions. If it is a necessary measure, or real benefit to theI people, then the extra cost should not be considered.

A very harmonious meeting of the shareholders of the Gold Belt Mining and Reduction company was held at the office of the company In Clifton on Tuesday last. All former officers were reelected as follows: J. Back stein, president; J. F. Cleaveland, vice-president; J. O. Baylor, secre- tary and treasurer; E. U. Beauchamp and F. O. Bacon directors, and E. U. Beauchamp general manager. The plans of development for the ensuing year as outlined by the general man ager were adopted by the sharehOld- CTS without question. The treas urer submitted report which showed the company to be in most satisfactory condition having avail able resources amounting to more than S16, 1000, besides several thousand dollars worth of ore entransit and on the dump. AS the company has experienced some delay in shipping their ores by rail from Morenci, they will in the future, as soon as the roads are in condition, have their ore hauled from the mines to the Shannon shelter by wagon. It can be done at the sane cost and the man. agement is of the opinion that the service will be much better. An ad- ditional 15 h. p. hoisting plant has been purchased and is now en route from the factory, and will be put in place on the property upon its ar rival. The success ot the Gold Belt is of unusual local importance, for it is strictly a home company, and nearly all of the stock is held by residents of Clifton and Morenci. The company has on hand 23,S50 shares of stock. By order of the board of directors the price of shares has been raised to 50 cents. The stock has par value of $I.O0.

Jim Parks, of Solomonvilie, was last week made present of a hand some pair of spurs and a bridle from friends in Cochise county, which the Bulletin describes as follows: "The bridle is beautifully mounted in sil- yer with the initials J. V. P. carved in the silver bit pieces. The spurs are chased gold and handsome leath- CT, with the same initials hand worked in the leather. It is hard to describe the exquisite workmanship and must be seen to be appreciated. The joint donors are E. A. Tovrea, w. B. Kelly, A. E. Downs and A. L. Manaham, of Bisbee. MT. Parks is the happiest man in Solomonville and values not only the gifts but the friendship and esteem shown in the Xmas offering"

The value ot agricultural products for 1906 will be nearly S6,S00, 900, ,000, or about S50O,OO0,OO more than 1905. The increase in the capital and the products of manufactures is no less remarkable, and the manufactured exports for 1906 will be four times greater than in 1890. Mineral pro- duction has made corresponding pro- gress. The United Ltates has 356,- 900 square miles of coal lands, con- pared with only 51,OO0 square miles in all Europe, while the output of iron is at least equal to that of Europe. At the present time we are producing about half the worlds iron output. Compared with 1890 there is total of over twice as large a mineral product, about three times as much pig iron and coal, four times as much copper, five times as much steel and ten times as much petrole- um. Transportation by rail has grown rapidly. President Hill has estimated that the railroads cannot expect to keep pace with the expan- sion of industry and commerce with out an expenditure of about S5,OOO,- OOO,OO0.

And Still Another.

A heavy rain fell in this section all day Tuesday, and as there was con- siderable snow in the mountains, both Chase creek and the Frisco river continued to rise steadily until late in the evening. Considerable dam- age was done to the Coronado rail- road, but large force of men were put to work yesterday morning and it is expected that trains will be run ming today.
 No damage was done to the town of Chase creek, as the business houses were all prepared for the flood. The lower part of the street was benefited by the freshet, as it was cut dogn to former level. The water was mostly confined to the bed of the creek, with beneficial effect as the channel was secured out con- siderably.
 Weather sharps predict that the floods are now over. They claim that three is the usual rule, and that there will be no more before Novem- Der or December next.
