People who complain of Arizona heat should read the eastern reports of heat pros- trations. And the resorts in the mountains of the terri tory, particularly in the hua- chucas and Chiricahaas, but a comparatively short distance from Tombstone, are ideal places for a summer outing and far superior to the beach resorts of Southern California. If the money spent every year in California was spent here at home in making things comfortable, We would not hear so much about the heat, and the keeping at home of the vast sum of money ex- pended by our people each summe outside the territory, every business would feel the beneficial effects of the in- creased volume Of money in circulation.

Arizona is unlike any oth

Arizona is unlike any other mining field in the west and is full of surprises. Nature seems to have distributed gold here in all kinds of rocks and in ali kinds of combinations. Our prospectors should have their ores analysed for all kinds of metal. as the most experienced prospector cannot safely guess at the contents of rocks that are to be found in this territory.

PROTEST AGAINST GLOVE
AND STOCKING TARIFF
Detroit Stores Secure Signatures OF
Women to Petitions Which Will
Be Sent to Congress.

In all of Detroits leading dry goods
stores patrons are being reminded
that the tariff bill is still pending.
with its increased duties on gloves.
hosiery and other necessaries OF life.
Public sentiment Is now, apparent
ly the only weapon to use to offset
the plans OF the interested parties who
have compassed this increase or du-
ties In the Payne bill. and the circu'
lars being given to customers or the
stores to wake them up" are very
plain. Women are being invited to
sign petitions which will be present
ed to congress. protesting against
these features Of the tariff.
An extract from the speech OF Rob-
ert q. Macon. OF Arkansas, has been
printed as leafet. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the lower grades
Of gloves are more highly taxed. pro-
portionately, than the more expensive
kinds. He also reviews the career OF
Lucius n. Littauer. head OF the Glow
ersville glove-making industry, In con-
gress. and his part in securing the re-
election OF Speaker Cannon. Rep. Ma
con suggests the idea that Littauer got
reward for his political activity in this
increased glove schedule which would
exclude foreign goods.
