GLOBE FIRST NATIONAL
WILL RESUME BUSINESS.

1t is announced in Globe that the
First National bank of that city will
open it's doors for resumption of bust
ness today, or not later than Monday.
This bit of news win be received with
joy throughout the territory because
of the extended acquaintance and pop
ularity of J. N. Porter, president of
tn bank and its principal owner. Mr..
Porter was forced TO shut the doors
of the First National at Globe during
the panicky times last fall, after hav-
ing drained his vaults of all available
cash which was paid to depositors. 1t
was understood when the bank was
closed that none of the depositors
would lose anything and that as
soon as Mr.. Porter could realize cash
on some of his various. and important
property holdings the bank doors
would be reopened and business re
summed
The statement is made that Mr..
Porter has arranged for doubling the
capital stock of the bank and that as
soon as resumption of business has
taken place a reorganization of the

CHANGE IN MEXICAN
MINING LAWS.

The abolition of the prospecting
permit in Mexico will remove one
fruitful source or chicanery and in
trigue. This prospecting permit was
devised to protect the prospectors,
much as the caveat is supposed to
protect the inventor in this country,
but it proved to be the prospector's
worst bugbear, says Mining Science.
The law was that a prospector could
take out a prospectors permit on any
open territory desired by him, the
limit being about five miles sqnare, if
we remember correctly. This pemit
was good for ninety days. and during
its life only the holder thereof could
denounce ground within its limits.
The idea was good one: For in
stance, suppose man found good
looking piece of float or other indiea-
ton of mineral wealth; he could there
upon file a "zona" or prospector's
claim on all the territory likely to
contain the mineral deposit, after
which he could seek it out and define
its limits at leisure and so denounce
just the ground he wanted
The way the law worked out was
something like this. The prospector
would most likely diyulge the fact
that he had made discovery Pos
sibly he would take his rock to an
assayer, or possibly he must confide
his good luck to the nearest merchant
to get the money TO file IONA We
all know how the news of strike
leaks out. OF course, nobody knows
exactly where it is, but "zona" was
conveniently large affair and, when
the prospector stepped up to the desk
to denounce the ground covering his
find, he generally discovered that

grave. We, have not enough per
spective necessary to fix bis status in
history" he said, "and it is sheer fol-
ly to attempt it." Individually he
wished the president well until March
4, 1909, when he hoped the president
would quit forever, for no president
will ever be elected to a third term
till the republic is on its last legs"
Everyone could be honest, he main
tanned. even If he could not be great.
"and," he added, eff you republican
big wigs would be candid you would
confess that you are not half so much
enamored of, the president as you
seem to be-" The republicans. he de-
clared. grew red in the face lauding
still the dispenser-in-chief Of pie" A
republican statesman bereft of pie,
said he, was "a spectacle to make the
angels weep" but he said, when he
saw republicans trying to apotheosize
him by ..mere lip service" it seemed
to him the lady doth protest too
much. In conclusion Mr.. Clark said:
I'm the impending conflict / summon
every democrat in all this broad land
to service under the dmocratic ban
ner and for democratic principles
principles which the immortal Jeffer-
son, enunciated. which the heroic
Jackson upheld and which are as dear
to the hearts of the people this day as
they were a century ago. Fighting
under that banner and for those prin-
ciples we won fourteen presidential
elections out of thirty and can win
again and again till we drive the re
pubI1cans from every place of power,
thereby restoring the government to
the safe, wise, wholesome and patriot
ic politics of the fathers-a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished"

CHAMP CLARK
IN THE HOUSE.

Speaking in the house on February
IS Champ Clark of Missouri described
Mr.. Roosevelt as such a beligerent
parsonage that his lightest word is
challenge to combat" According to
the Associated Press report Mr.
Clark said that Mr.. Roosevelt could
not express his views upon any ques-
ton under heaven, "even upon a sub
ject so prosaic and threadbare as the
passing of the state of the weather"
without precipitating a row, his ex-
IRENE adherents swearing that there
never had been "such a weather pro
phet on earth since Adam and Eve
were driven from the garden of Eden
with flaming swords and his extreme
enemies vociferating that he knows
no more about the weather than does
a ground hog" The presidents whole
public life, said Mr.. Clark, had been.
one session of spectacular fights. No
man had been more Eiciously assaiIed
by men of his own party. "and none
was ever still in the flesh, so Iavishly
Landed by some Of the opposing par
ty." But" he said, ''the truth is that
this extraordinary man has waxed
stronger and stronger by waging his
battles" Even defeat, he declared
had made him larger and more
commanding figure. So" he said,
amid the swirl of things, the deluge
of words, the shouting of the cap
tains, the beating Of tom-toms, the
groans of crippled republicans, the
yells of friend and foe" one who was
personal friend of Theodore Roose-

of Roosevelt, the politician or states

MINE Workers MEET

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 29.-Miners
and operators of the central competi-
tive district, including western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
will meet tomorrow for their adjourn
ed conference. Consideration will be
resumed of the question of calling a
joint wage convention to re-establish
the interstate wage agreement. Upon
this {agreement is based the wage
scale of the other districts of the
United Mine Workers of America.

man. had shut little chance perhaps
of being heard in this babel of
voices" Mr.. Clark. however. insisted
that he would have his say. He spoke
of his personal liking for the presi-
dent, and said that, although, after
the manner of strong men, the presi-
dent had pronounced virtues and glar-
ing faults of character, he had never
abused him nor had he grown hysteri-
cal in admiration of him. but he had
supported him when he was in the
right and fought him tooth and nall
when he was wrong. He believes that
was the way the president should be
treated. I'VE must indeed" said Mr..
Clark, entertain contempt for the In
vertebrate syeophants who grovel be-
fore him on all occasions and who, no
matter what he does or says. throw
high their sweaty caps in the air and
shout, 10, triumphe, 10. triumphe'"
Mr. Clark spoke of the claim that
President Roosevelt was better than
his party, which fact" he estimated,
easily Guild be established without
running any imminent danger of be-
ing translated after the manner Of
Elijah in a chariot of fire by reason
of his goodness; but whatever the
presidents virtues or faults, he is not
democrat" Occasionally, he said,
the president very much to the de-
light of democrats and confusion of
republicans, "appropriates or absorbs,
borows or seizes a democratic idea"
and from his high eoign Of vantage
urges it with tremendous force, for,
he said. the president obeyed to the
letter at least one scriptural injunc-
ton: Whatsoever thy hand find to
do, do it with thy might" 1t was the
heavy hand. or big stick" of the
president, he declared, that had driv-
en- SO many republicans "pell nell in
to the cave Of Adullam where there
is weeping and wailing and crashing
of teeth and much profane swearing"

his mailed fist or thumper them with
his big stick, he has deserved the I'M
stinted praise of all lovers of our
country" No one knew, continued
Mr.. Clark, whether or not the pres
ident was great man. He quoted
from an old saying, Count no man
happy till he is dead" and said it was
a safe and sane rule to pronounce
no man great until he was in his

is INDICATED.

1T will be remembered that shortly
following the meeting of the national
committee jim Washington a report was
persistently circulated and published
in Phoenix to the effect that National
Committeeman Sturgis had given his
proxy from Arizona. to Senator Dick
Of Ohio, and that the Senator had
voted the Arizona proxy in favor OF
cutting down the representation from
this territory in the national conven.
ton from six delegates to two dele,
gates.
There was great glee manifested in
official administration circles in this
territory ever the report and the mem.
bers of the inner circle lost no time
in industriously circulating it.
Now comes Col. Sturgis with the
goods and proves that there was abso.
lutely no truth in the report. Col
Sturges has given out the following
letter which will result in the Gazette
and its bosses eating a nice mess Of
crow:
Ny Dear Mr.. Sturges ..-
Acknowledging your esteemed favor
OF February 10th, received in my mai
today, permit me to say there is alb
solutely no foundation in fact for the
report which you say is being circu
lated to the effect that, holding YOU
proxy at the meeting of the Republican
national committee, | voted to reduce
the Arizona Representations from si1
to two
While 1 am at loss To- know whai
motive or reason there may be for the
circulation of such report, the fact:
are that on this proposition my senti
ments were in accord with what
understood to have been your own, anC
therefore voted against a reduction
in representation for the territories.
Furthermore, | may say that wher
Mr.. Dover handed me your proxy he
gave me to understand that in decid
ing upon the place for holding tht
IeCpuDiCdu NdLlOndl convention you
preference was in favor of Kansas
City, and therefore, while personally
/ was inclined to favor Chicago,
nevertheless voted for Kansas City
so as to have my action in accordance
with your wishes on that proposition
also.
Trusting the above may serve al
adequate evidence that my attitude and
action were intended IN he such az
10 properly represent you in accord
ance with your wishes, / extend mos
cordial regards, and remain,
Yours very truly.

We wonder If Sims Ely really did
lot know what was going on when he
wrote his recent letter denying that
the federal officials of Arizona were
trying to boss the Republican party.
At the committee meeting yesterday
Attorney General Clark and Fred
Cleveland, private secretary of the
governor, held two proxies each and
had things pretty much their own
way. This is a plain case of being
caught with the goods.

conference tomorrow may meet at
Chicago. It will be national conven-
ton and not be confined to the Eve
districts in the central competitive
field. Such a convention to ratify the
wage scale will cost the miners organ
ization $4,000.
Because of the fact that neither the
governor of Indiana nor the mayor OF
indianapolis welcomed the delegates
to the last national convention, it is
unlikely that the general convention
will ever again be held here st. Louis
will be the scene of the next regular
meeting.

J. N. Porter, president of the First

business with double the amount Of
capital formerly employed in his
