 mated n ticket Co be voted for at the coming municipal election, which will commend itself to all citizens who be.

 more intelligent and economical ad.

 they can make n good record in the
 administration of city affairs. The platform, published in another column, is one that means something, and r commended t0 all citizens for pcrusal and consideration. The ticket itself IS n strong one, and is composed of the substantial citizens of the community. If the nominees for the mayor and council are elected, and We believe they will, they are pledged to specific policies. There is where it has the ad. vantage of the usual non. partisan tick ct whose members go into office with out saddling any special responsibili lies. Further comment upon the per sonnel of the ticket will appear later Tn these columns.

LIBERTY.

The United States is frequentl,
 spoken of as n nation of individualists
 and the expression leaps from mouth
 Co mouth in boastful way, as though
 it left nothing 10 be desired in the
 way of further explanation. We
 sometimes doubt whether the "nation
 of individualisrs" really understands
 what it means when it applies this
 description 10 itself.
 The fact is that individnalism mani.
 fests itself in great variety of forms.
 The prize fighter is an individualist when he seeks to knock the cocoanut on the shoulders of his opponent, and the same may be said of the society dame who plays bridge whist every evening in the week at the expense of nelghbors who seldom play the game at all. The term individualism means nothing, unless Il implies antagonism, So that the "nation of individualistsO must be a nation of antagonists. At once there is a cry of dissent, and the cheerful idiot who has been driven to defend his vacuous forms of speech, de. elares that there is no antagonism in his individualism, but that he loves his neighbor as himself. The only antago. nism that he feels takes the shape of n hilarious rivalry-it is all a game in which every player has a chance to win.
 The amusing part of all this national is that the only consistent in- dividual is the anarchist, for he it is that is opposed to all restraint. He is he foe of all government. John Stu. art Mill, in his essay on "Liberty, :" to set forth certain philo. 'ophieal exceptions to the natural rule of personal freedom, and by the time he has finished his review of these ex. captions, it appears that the particu. lars in which individual freedom can rightly be exersreisod are relatively very few. But Mill was by nature an intellectual freeman, and he did not see the point of his own joke.
 When the police step into the prize ring and interrupt the exercise of the pugilists, or when the law prohibits gambling, or when a statute provides that the railroads of the country can. not issue additional securities without The consent of the Interstate Com. nerce Commission. we have instsnces 'f interference with that boasted

GOLDEN STAR MINE
 MONTHLY OUTPUT IS siOo,0oo

PARKER, Ariz., Dec. l7.-Fred T.
 Bragonier, of Bragonier < Armstrong,
 has just returned from trip into the
 kofa and Golden Star country and re
 ports quite a little new mining work
 being carried on in that part of the
 \. II. range-some of the results be.
 ing very satisfactory.
 Al Kofa, the King of Arizona is keeping mp it's old lick and is sending 10 the mill about 200 tons of ore daily. The new management, headed by sa' perintendent Mendenhall, with l. W. Ward as mine foreman and engineer, and Edward English as mill foreman, IS good one and is quite eompeten, to maintain the splendid record made by this mine in the past. A mail stage trrweekly from Mohawk on the s. P. makes Kofa at this time much nearer to the outside world than ever before.
 Two miles, or trife more, north of the King of Arizona and on vein nearly parallel, lies the newest Gold mine of Ariozna-ahe North Stsr-or as it is now called, tne Golden Star This IS the property that little over two years ago was discovered by sn and with his associates, they bonded It about year ago to company of New Workers, which had in it's nun oid'time prospector, Felix Mayhew, Der the well known mining engineer, Chester Beatty. The vein is bre' ciated andesite, about fifty feet wide, m short but wide shoots. It is well defined and is trscesble for a mile or more. The company has sunk two shafts, one to depth of 200 feet, and the other, the new working shaft, IS buttoned at present at about 2s0 feet. The shafts are about 2l0 feet apart and are connected up on tho two work ing levels. Large ore reserves are al' ready developed, and the splendid Showing for still larger ores with great er depths leads one to thing that the Golden Star is destined to be one Of the greatest, if not the greatest, gold mine in Arizona.
 A oo'ton plant, consisting of rolls, tube mills, cyanide tanks and filter presses, is rolling out the golden stuff, probably $l00,000 month or more.
 The camp is nicely located on the slopes of the foothills, quarter of mile or so from the mine, and is sup piled with good water from the com pany's l200-foot well, five miles to the 'outh.
 It is not too much to hope that oth' 'r mines will be developed in the Gold 'n Star property.

THE COPPER MERCER.

There are many people who looI
 with disfavor upon anything like tn
 amaigamation of separate interest

 the Douglas Dispatch. They believ,
 that 1t iiavors of the tendency to
 wards the creation of trusts. Bu
 there are occasions when the combina
 ton of interests, especially when the,
 have been in fact if not in words on, and the same great interest after all
 points 10 advantage, not only 10 tn, merging corporations, but to the pub ne as well. Such, we believe, will be the results of the merging of the cor porations of the Arizona Copper lead CTS and their allied interests. The new corporation will he organized. un. der the laws of New York, and capi. talized at s50,00o,OO0, in shares of sloo each. The capital stock of the new company will be used to take over the interests of Copper Queen Consoli. dated Mining Company, the Moetezu. ma Copper Company, the Detroit Cop. per Mining Company of Arizona and the Stag Canyon Fuel Company. In the relative value of new stock is. sued for old stock, 1t will be seen, from our figures published yesterday, that wstered stock will not be factor m the merger In the letter to the stockholders it is stated that during the last five years the Copper Queen company alone has produced 294 ,595, ,8s7 pounds of copper, while the Douglas reduction works has turned out a to. tai output of a63,l2l,9ll pounds. The earnings of the company for the last live years totaled s22,s6s,77s; the Moe. tezuma company earned in a like pc. riod $3,6l7 ,295; the Detroit company S,467,sl0 and the Stag Canyon com. pany in one year has earned $2s3.942. making the total net earnings of the Tour companies for five years $3O, ,237,. s2o' A summary of the assets of the Tour companies, exclusive of the mines. on November list, 1908, shows a total of $2s,949,739, with liabilities of only N,l6l ,l66.

 the work which the railroads have | done, often without the need of | praise that tx their due. Pioneering is
 seldom understood save by the pioneer
 himself |, is a very easy matter for
 the man who has never blazed a new
 trail of any kind to sit back in an
 easy chair and pick flaws in the work
 of the frontiersman of industry. The mining industry has many flip.
 pant critics, and none more SO than
 those who lack any understanding of
 the peculiar character of its problems.
 The exploratory phase of the business
 is, perhaps, the least understood, al.
 though the most simple in it's descrip
 tion. Minerals must be found and
 the finding of them is not confined to
 mere geographical explorations.
 The particular phase of inc subject that impresses us most is that mining men are frequently charged with sdift.
 ing the burdcr of exploration upon in vestors. lt is true that investors do participate in the exploratory work of the mining industry, bui it is also true that the greater number of them pre-. fer the prospect opportunity 10 any other, because they have learned the important aspect of the problem, that rewards are, in general, proportional to the hazards. It is not true, how ever, that investors remote from the mining regions bear the burden of ex. ploratory service, for the fact is tha, vastly more money goes into mining development from the pockets of those most intimately connected with mines than ever comes from the purses of the uninitiated. On the other hand the of ferings that are made to distant in. vestors are usually represented by cn. terprises in which n great deal of ex. plora'ory work has already been done.
 Some folks profess 10 believe that the camp of Cripple Creek, for exam. pie, was developed by money raised from eastern investors. It is true that much money was raised in this way, but it can be easily shown that | the cost of developing that district fell to the lot particularly of Colorado people. In every new mining camp losses occur. By the very nature of the business, this is inevitable. But, of all such losses that may be counted np against Cripple Creek, Colorado men have borne by far the greater bur. den, furnishing evidence enough that the people who live in intimate con. iact with mining enterprises display Inc greatest faith in them and the greatest willingness 10 accept the haz ,rds.
 We cite this circumstance for the 'difcatiOn of the know nothing cynics who take pleasure in rehecting upon he good faith of the pioneers of west 'rn mining. lt is with some gratifca. ion, too, that we set at the head of his comment the appreciative remark 'f man of MT Hartman stamp. { What is this country coming to. if the . cry best of her citizens--nay, her in.
