sAsCo's RECORD

The SascO smelter made a record breaking output last month. It is now handling about 500 tons of ore daily, all from the Imperial mines. If this great plant is to do custom work its capacity much be greatly increased, or the output of the Imperial mines eurtailed, as the increase of this out put has kept pace with the increases in the capacity of the smelting plant. The smelting plant does not seem to be able to outgrOw the eompany's output. If both keep up their present gait Sas- co will soon have the largest smeltiug plant and Silver Belle the largest ore output in the West. Pinal and Pima counties are side partners in this great mining and smelting enterprise and should join in boosting it.-Arizona Blade.

WAS IT CONSCIENCE?

A new motive is now assigned as the reason for James A. Patten's sudden of the Chicago wheat pit for the trout streams of Colorado. Wall street (not a very good source Of authority on general matters, We ad- mit)- asserts that Patten closed out all! his holdings in wheat at the earnest request of his wife, who is an ardent church worker and an admittedly no- ble woman. Patten also is said to be of an intensely religious turn, and has contributed very largely in both acts and money: to church work. When Mrs. Patten began to read the harsh criticisms of her husbands 'eorner" and the resultant increase in the price of bread, with the hardships brought upon the poor, she urged him to close out his speeulatiOns in wheat and re- tire from the pit. This is the story and some eredenee may be placed in it for the reason that it is well known among speeulators that Patten could have held onto his contracts long enough to have still further raised the price of wheat and cleaned up anoth- CT half million or more.
 If conscientious motives were at the bottom of MT. Patten's actions in so suddenly retiring from the board, he could redeem his name quite substan- tially by turning over a large per cent of his recent gains to the very poo- who have a hard time to buy bread at any price.

THE SILVER KIN G
 PROPERTY
Owner Believes Wealth Still in Famous
 Mine
eRom Tuesdays Daaso

The arrival in Globe recently of a pack train laden with several tons of extremely rich ore from the Silver King mine attracted considerable at tention from some of the old timers whose knowledge of the famous old mine extends back to the period piof to 1884, when the Silver King mine was all that its name applies
 Few persons, if any, who recall those prosperous times ever expected to sec the old mine Yehabihtated, but if the
 hopes of the new owner of the prop erty, John AcOabe, are realized, 1t will again reign as nonsreh of silver mines in Arizona.
 MeCabe secured. lease on the Sil- yer King some time ago and has dili- gently explored the property, with the result that he has again discovered the ore shoot, which was supposed to have been lost or worked out; and being convinced of its great value, he deter mined to secure title to the mine, in which purpose he has been successful, the deed having been placed on re- cord recently at Florence.
 MeCabe has been taking out rich ore from the Silver King mine for sew ersl months, and shipped some to El Paso, but is now taking it to Globe 10 the Old Dominion smeltes. He has a sixty-burro train, each burro carrying over 100 pounds of the rich copper and silver sulphides.
 MeCabe considers the Silver King a bigger and better mine now than it ever was, or, at least, with bigger future, when he can get it properly opened up for work.-Phoenix Demo erat

PHRPLEx1RG QUESTION

William Howard Taft is not the first seesjdent to be embarrassed by the po- Rtiesl debts eontraeted' by his nanag- uss. but that fact does not greatly eon- so,e the president. Patronage is eaus- irR him more vexatiols hours than Is eae tariff, and no small part of the vaKation comes from campaign prom saes made by party managers on their sHr presumption That of Chauncsy N, Dewey of Illinois is only ono of numerous eases Dewey is the man Iho delivered two votes from Illinois to Taft in the Chicago convention last ,xpnmer, thus bresking the solid Can non delegation. Postmaster General Hitchcock wants Dewey taken care Of ia a nice Federal office. Members at the Illinois delegation are against him almost to a man. Their position IS that Dewey's assertion of Cannon in the face of explicit instructions amounted to nothing short of political Rutiny, and they contend that pre- saium should not be placed on treason
 There is no suspicion that. MT. Taft, though he benefited by DeweS course at Chicago, was party to any promises made him although he naturally is dis posed to give considerable weight to the recommendations of MT, Hitch.

NEW MEXICAN MISTAKES.

Some mistakes have been made in Arizona politics, but none of the char aeter that have made New Mexico in famous in years gone by, and judging from an editorial in the Albuquerque Journal the "mistakes of Curry arc much more fragrant than the "Mis- takes of Moses" Here's what the Journal says:
 "Governor Curry allows himself tO be led into a very serious blunder ev- cry time he appoints to office a mem- Der of the rotten old gang which the decent people of the Territory have condemned. The disgrace brought up- on the Territory by the work of that gang, and by its notorious reputation, defeated our aspirations for statehood in the past, and will just as surely bring the same misfortune upon us in the future, unless we can show to con gress and the nation that the gang has been turned down, thoroughly and permanently. Members of congress know the conditions here as well as we know them ourselves, and they know there would be no hope of Re publication supremacy in New Mexico with the Republican party under the control of such men. The last Terri tor;al election makes this fact clear enough. With a Republican majority of about nine thousand, on the local tickets, the gang candidate for dele gate was elected by the beggardly plu rality of little more than three hun dred, notwithstanding the fact that some thousands of Republicans voted for him under protest, simply and sole " because of the mistaken impression that he could help the cause of state hood, and other thousands, of Demo- erats, refrained from voting at all, be- cause of race prejudice, against their own candidate.
 "These facts are matters of history. The hopes of New Mexico, and espe- eially of the supremacy of the Repub- lican party in New Mexico, hang upon the burying of the old gang out of sight, permanently, but this purpose is thwarted every time the governor robs the political graveyard and sets up a political corpse to offend the pub lie sense of decency.

 Martin Baker came in yesterday from his camp in the Hassayamp dis triet, where he is developing two claims belonging to himself, William Baker, George c. Ruffner, and J. K. Mcdonald.
 Baker says the ore body is one o1 the largest exposed in the district, considering the amount of work done Its width has not been proven. A sam pie of an open cut taken from several feet of the deposit gave returns of $50 a ton Tn gold, silver and copper. He will return to the camp Monday after noon to continue development.
 The property is located mile north of the Blue Dick mine on the range of mountains south of the Hassayampa river. The Blue Dick mine was one of the noted silver producers of the county in the latter sos and early 'eOs. Several leasers made handsome fortunes working blocks of it on the leasing system.

SEATTLE GROWING

Los Angeles never loses a chance to go Seattle one better It is up to the former metropolis to dispute the post office postal census of the Sound City, which claims by right of actual tally that it has a populations "mail v population, as it were-of 307 200.
 For the purpose of showing to the postofice department at the national capital that the city was in need of more carriers, the Seattle postmaster undertook a potal census through its carriers.
 Beach carrier was required to keep careful track of his route for several days and to secure as nearly as possl- ble an exact statement of the num- Der of people in the district which he served.
 According to these estimates, and they have nearly the accuracy of regular census, save that they do not cover the transient population so fully, there is at present in that city an actual population, served by the ear riers of the postofiee, of 3o7, 200. Com paring this with the directory esti- mates of last year, there was an in crease in population for the time since the directory was prepared of some thing Ike II per cent. When the new directory appears it is expected that the showing of increase in directory es- inmates will be somewhat larger than this
 A census of this character, taken by men familiar with the districts which they cover and in most instances know ing by name a large share of the peo- pie living in the districts, must, of. ne eessity, closely approximate the exact facts. Certainly, there is not the fsintess probability that it would err in the direction of an over-estimate, for the carriers wonld report only the number of people who live in the dis triet to their own actual knowledge.
 Taking this census, therefore, in con junction with directory estimates. and the railroad figures of passenger travel in and out of the city for purposes. of checking upon each set of statistics, it is a safe statement now that Seattle has a population of somewhere dn the neighborhood of 9lo,O00 to 3l5,oo0 peo- ple

ANTI-NAVAL EXPANSION

Members of congress from west of the Rocky Mountains and eastern ad vocates of a greater navy are girding up their Joins for hard fight when congress. eonvenes in regular session next December. The "tip'' has gone forth that in their policy of economy and retrenchment the senate and house leaders are going to attack the pro- gram of naval expansion. They may succeed in saving money at the ex- pense of battleships, but they i'll know they have been to a fight before they get away with it.
 The anti battlesbip economists had been secretly counting on the support of the president MT. Taft had select ed economy as the Watch-word of his administration, and opponents of nav al expansion were led into the error Of believing that he might be willing to sacrifice a few battleships for the sake of saving money. This illusion was dispelled when Secretary of the Navy Meyer delivered his speech at Boston a few nights ago. MT. Meyer declared openly and boldly for two great battleship fleets, one for the At lantic and the other for the Pacific, and no one doubts that his voice was the voice of the administration. Be- yond a doubt, his speech was submit ted to the president and o. K-'d by llr. Taft before it was delivered. It was the serving of notice on congress and on the country that economy did not mean weakening of the national defense.
