Shooters to Shoot In Tucson.

Announcement has been made by the Blue Rock Gun club of Tucson as to the teams that will participate in the big territorial shoot in Tucson in September. This is the first time that information has been given out concerning the respective contenders for the attractive prizes that are to be awarded.
 It is likely that twelve teams will participate in the shoot, of these Clifton making the biggest showing. Two teams will be sent from that city, one representing the Clifton gun club and the other the Shannon gun club. Members of each of these are very enthusiastic over the pros poets, anticipating the capture of a majority ot the prizes. The teams that will enter are as follows: Mo renci, Globe, Clifton, Shannon, Bis bee, Douglas, Phoenix, Prescott, Tue son, Fl PasO, Deming and Albu- querque.
 Official announcement of the shoot printed in circular form has been re- ceived. It reads as follows:
 ''Oh. You Shooter!
 "We have completed arrangements for the seventh annual tournament of the Arizona Sportsmen's associa- ton, which will be held in Tucson under the auspices of this club on September 24, 3 and 26. We are comfortably located at our new grounds and we'll equipped to handle the tourney, and promise you a good time. We have arranged for free transportation and free lunches on these days for participants, and as we are going to add Sl ,000 we feel that we should be able to get to- gether all of the shooters in Arizona. We have decided to make five moneys in all events, and believe you will all agree with us that with this added money we will be giving every one a chance to get piece of it.
 "On September 27 we will pull off a live bird shoot for those who wish to take a hand in the game. We have only programmed one event of twenty birds, but we will have plenty of birds, and if the bunch like the game we will arrange other events to suit

Mexican Postal Pointers.

Letters are being mailed to Mexico from prominent firms in the United States having cent. stamp in lieu of the cent denomination, showing their lack of knowledge of the postal laws, and ignorance of the fact that rates of postage are the same in Mexico as in the United States and Canada. American stamps and stamped envelopes have also been in closed for replies. One important point in the Mexican law is, that the government does not contract to de- liver mail addressed to a city on which the state does not also appear. There are a number of cities of the same name in the different states, and failure to write the name of the state, as we'll as the city, relieves the government of responsibility for its delivery. A parcel-post treaty between the United States and Mex ico is in force and much can be saved by shipping small articles by mail in- stead of express.

LOS ANGELES IN LINE.
Chamber of Commerce Endorses Arizona
 Good Roads Movement.

At a meeting of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, held in that city on July 21st, at which a number of Arizona men were present, the following resolutions were passed, which speak for themselves and give the territories of Arizona and New | Mexico the assurance of their CO | operation in the building of what IS now known as the scenic route from New Mexico through Arizona and thence connecting with California. No state in the world has shown more enthusiasm in road building than California and especially is the county of Los Angeles alive to the subject, having spent millions on the building of roads.
 The action of the Chamber of Com merce ot that city in passing the resolutions below is assurance that if the scenic route is built through this territory it will be extended through the border of California. In Los Angeles county it is estimated that the building of good roads enhances land values more than tbirty-three per cent.
 Your committee on boulevards, parks and roads to whom was referred the communication from Dell M. Pot ter, chairman of the Good Roads committee, Clifton, Arizona, would recommend the adoption of the fol lowing resolutions:
 WHEREAS, The people of Arizona have begun a campaign for good roads and are now contemplating a road through the territory from the eastern boundary of the territory, passing through some of the greatest timber belts in the United States, Roosevelt, Phoenix and Salt river valley to Yuma, and are also con- templating building a road from Phoenix to Kingman, thence west to Needles, and Yuma.
 WHEREAS, The Territory of New Mexico will connect with the eastern terminus of the Arizona road, through what is known as the scenic route of that territory. The road will then pass through some of the grandest scenery of the Rocky Noun tains and connect with roads in Colo rado, then through Kansas and the eastern states, making an ocean to ocean route, and
 WHEREAS, The construction of these roads will be of as much value to the State of California as to the territories and other states.
 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, By the Board of Directors of the Cham Der of Commerce the people of Ari- | zona be congratulated and encour- aged on the undertaking, and the counties of Imperial, San Bernardino | and Riverside be and are hereby re- quested to cooperate with the peo | pie of Arizona to the end that the | Good Roads now under construction | to the borders of California, may be | continued through the respective | counties to the border line of Los Angeles county, so as to connect with | the roads now being constructed by | Los Angeles County Good Roads | and
 BE TT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a | copy of these resolutions be sent to | the Board of Supervisors of each | of the above mentioned counties, | with the request that some action be | taken immediately along the lines suggested.

MINING CONGRESS PROPOSES
 SILVER DISCUSSION.
Increased Use of Silver and Lower Rate of Exchange Necessary to Hold Oriental Silver is Asia'S
 COnquering Power.

Denver, Colo. At a coming session
 of the American Mining Congress to
 be held at Goldfeld, Nev., in Septem-
 Der, noted men in the nations in- dustrial and political life will engage in a discussion of the relation of the
 value of silver to the9adjustmeuto of
 trade relations with silver using
 countries, and of giving to silver as money such extended use and sta bility of price as will greatly reduce,
 if not entirely eliminate, the high
 margin of exchange Oriental silver
 must now pay for our gold.
 Those phases of the silver question
 have no relation to the "Free Silver"
 doctrines so prominent in national
 politics in the nineties. At that
 time the American bankers and busi-
 ness men, so thoroughly averse to
 the use ot silver in measuring values, sought to relegatc all discussion of the silver question, but in the light of more recent years, when our trade is in such dire peril of being swept from the Orient, when manufactur- ing industries are being transported bodily to Asiatic countries where cheap silver purchases cheap labor, there arises an imminent necessity for such adjustment of trade rela- tions as will enable the merchants supplying more than half the human race to buy American products on gold basis.
 From time immemorial the money of two-thirds of the worlds people was silver. Formerly these peoples were not considered an important factor in the business of manufactur- ing countries, but now the merchant sees in them his most fertile field for trade. Yet these markets are clos ing because of the low huctuating price of silver with it's consequent prohibitive rate of exchange with gold.
 The American Mining Congress is launching this movement with the feeling that America should be on the alert in the fight for commercial supremacy which is now centering around the Pacific, and it is intended that the discussion of this question at it's meeting will develop a mem- orial to be presented to the national Congress setting forth the necessity of such adjustment as will remove this embargo upon American indus tries.
 The United States is at the same time one of the principal silver pro- ducing countries, and China and India most largely import their bullion 1 from us. An extended use of silver, | which would be followed by enhanced 1 price, would enaple America to as sume a commanding position with reference to Oriental trade.
 No more important question could be taken up for consideration by the Mining Congress, and the discussion of the subject by such men IS Sir Moreton Frewen, the eminent | English economist, John Hayes Ham, nond, James J. Hill and others, ought | to result in its being brought fore bly to the attention of the national Congress.

GAMBLING IN PRESCOTT.
Games in Full Blast in Spite of Arizona
 Laws,

The Phoenix Democrat of last
 week had the following to say about
 the Prescott gambling proposition:
 In violation of every city, county
 and territorial law, gambling is run
 ming wide open in Prescott, several
 of the saloons having crap, faro and
 roulette games in full blast in ad-
 joining rooms.
 Phoenix people, who have heard of the strange move in Prescott, are dumbfounded at the boldness of the men, who are violating the laws of the territory with such apparent dis regard of being called to account.
 So certain appear the gamblers in Prescott that they will net be pun ished that Barney Smith, chairman of the Yavapia supervisors, dealt at one of the games in the Palace saloon one night, and on the following night Ben Belcher, acting mayor of Pres colt rolled the ivory ball.
 For some time gambling games prohibited by territorial statute, have been run with more or less secrecy in Prescott, but not until the last few days has the attempt at secrecy been thrown off, and the games run with as much publicity as in the palmy days of the "tinhorn."
 What the Prescott gamblers have up their sleeve is unknown. As yet no move has been made by either District Attorney Ross or Sheriff Smith, the two Yavapai officials, to whom the public look to stop viola tions of the law.
 With the exception of the short period the Yavapai grand jury was in session, gambling is said to have been fiourishing in Prescott for the past sixty days. Little attempt was made to prevent knowledge of the violation of the law getting to the ears of the public.
 Visitors from Prescott state that the people of that city are in large majority against the opening of the gambling games. Little else is talked about. The people as a rule are mystified at the actions of the gamb- lers. The only explanation offered is that they have been assured protec- tion.
 Governor Sloan is now in Prescott which means that the seat of govern ment is for the time being transferred in that city. The gambling is flourish ing under the very nose of the chief executive of Arizona.
 If the Yavapai officials fail to act Governor Sloan is said to have the to call out the National Guard to suppress the law breakers. l
 No violation of an Arizona statute | has called forth as much comment as has this move in Prescott. News of | the opening ot gambling has spread i throughout the territory, and Pres colt is now becoming the Mecca or gamblers from all parts of Arizona.
 James J. Jeffries on July 18th posted l a forfeit of 5000 for fight with 1 Jack Johnson. It is stipulated that | the fight will be from twenty to one | hundred rounds before the club offer ing the biggest purse and side bet of $lO,000. Jefries says he now weighs 255 pounds and will be ready | to fight within five months. He leaves immediately for Carlsbad, Germany, for preliminary training.

HOPLETS GET
NINE IN SIXTH

Sam Hops Aala Juniors brought off
the big thing yesterday morning at Aala
park by winning their game against the
Chinese Aloha Juniors and, with it, the
championship of the Riverside junior
League and the Robert Single cup.
The flying machine trial came off in
the sixth so successfully that the Aalas
had scored nine runs before it hit the
earth again. Peter had been pitching
an excellent game for the losers up till
this inning but the Hoplets found him
in the sixth and batted him ali round
the field. when they did not walk.
Sam started things by beating neat
bunt with the bases full. This scored
three men and then a bunch of hits
followed, each with an extra tally to
show on the score board. The excite
ment of the crowd was simply frantic.
The spectators surged up to the very
edge of the diamond and, as run fol
lowed run, Sam s supporters went crazy
with JOY.
The Alohas made a game fight for
if and did some scoring themselves but
the Hop-o '-my-thumb were too far
ahead and danced in winners by L TO
10. Sam states that there win he a
grand luau to commemorate the event
in the near future.

COMPANY c. USES
WHITEWASH TUB

Company G at Fort Shaffer added
another. to long list of uninterrupt-
ed victories, by withdrawing Com
pany F very severely yesterday after
noon by the score of . to @. In spite
of the onesided score, it was a hot
game, and up to the sixth the victory
belonged to anybody.
They have an experimental war-ba!-
loon out at the camp, and in the early
part Of the sixth inning one of the
Company G men made a strategic
movement round the diamond and cut
the ropes that held said balloon. 1t
surely went up in the air, too. and tied
to it were the whole of the Company
F team, with Okrey hanging on below,
| 1t was not so much that the G boys
banged the other pitcher in the sixth,
/ seventh and eighth, as that they dis
covered the possibilities of a mixture
of hitting Okrey's delivery over third
| base and making the swipes just a
| trifie too hot for the third baseman.
Two runs were scored in the sixth
/ followed by three in the seventh and
! four more big tallies in the eighth
! Meanwhile Boloun, the G pitcher was
| getting them over the plate in fine
shane and most of the F players either
died at first or famed the air. Only
two hits did the losers make during
the game, while the G boys handed out
twelve of them. 1t says a great dea
for the fielding that more runs were
not scored with So many basehits fly
| ing around.
Now that Company has won all o.
! four games with the other companies
two with each, they feel properi,
! proud OF themselves and look forward
/ with much confidence To the opening
of the series that is to be played for
| the Dunning cup after their return
from camp.
The official score was:
