the company has a good many thou
sand tons of first-class ore on the

THE anti-Kibbey republicans of
Maricopa county are making great
demonstrations against the chief ex-
ecutive and his followers. There are
various opinions, but it seems to be
the general understanding that it is
only the pie hunters who are making
the fuss. The governor may not be
perfect, but he is the best man who
has ever occupied the seat of the
chief executive of the territory.
With this record and his large num-
Der of staunch friends in the terri
tory he will retain his position as
long as he wants it.

The ERA said last week that the local
officers should search every suspicious
place lin their efforts to recover some
of the articles that have been stolen,
but upon investigation it is learned
that this is not an easy matter ac-
cording to the law. An officer is
placed in rather embarrassing
position if he enters a house without
a search warrant, and in order to is
sue such d warrant the complainant
must allege upon oath that he has
sufficient reason to believe that a
certain party has the goods, also state
the exact place in which he thinks
they are concealed. The authority of
an. officer is limited when it comes to
searching private premises, hence
the ERA Internationally conveyed
the wrong impression last week.

much good will be derived from the
proceedings.

announcing that operations at the

shaft was closed for the reason that
