JUDGE EDWARD KENT. in the dis trict court at Phoenix: last week. decided one of the most vital points that has yet arisen in the contest between the Anti Saloon league and the whiskey element. He held that the law passed by the last legislatures .segregating incorporated cities from the rest of the county in local option elections. is valid and constitutional, and that the Tempe precinct, in which a local option election is to be held shortly. must bs divided into two voting districts, ons being that lying inside the in corporated city and the other that outside. The enforcement of the laws passed by ths laet legislature seems to result in continuous liti- gation and it is not at all to the credit of the political party which controlled that august body which passed all these 'botched up" and "half cooked" measures.

A Good Move

The fact that the Illinois legisla- tnre has dictated that the humane treatment of animals shall be taught in the common schools is recogni- tion of a need which should not exist, but certainly is indicated. It is the unfortunate fact that humane treatment of animals is not an uni versal possession of young human ity. The Illinois law provides that one half hour each week shall be devoted to teaching kindness and justice to and humane treatment and protection of birds and other animals and the important part they fulfill in the economy of na. ture." A curious provision, how ever, is that of a penalty for any teachers neglect to give the in- struction-withholding 5 per cent of the teachers monthly salary Phoenix Gazette.

. WHEN the official census figures for Arizona have been compiled next year. it is expected, that it will re- veal to the people of the east sur prises concerning the resources and population of the territory treated in the story books as the land of the painted deserts, fantastic sun sets, huge rattle snakes, hungry coyotes, curious insects and reptiles. Arizona, no doubt, will show great CT gains for the better during the past ten years in population. agri- cultural resources, mining, etc than any state in the Union.
Williams news., 1909-10-16

IT is claimed by those who know that the population and the value of resources of New Mexico has doubled since the last official census of the United States. Arizona has probably made still greater gains than has her sister territory. What greater argument can the two great territories offer in their demands for statehood.

The total of lead was 2,995,1S3 pounds, and the Tomb stone Consolidated was the leader with 1.721,974 pounds. The zinc product was 2.457 .O99 pounds, and the Union Basin company was the leader with 631 ,689 pounds.
 THAT the rural genius is more numerous in public life than is the city dude is an unquestionable fact if the figures compiled by Dr. Spill man of the Department of Agri- culture at Washington are reliable. The classification of the leading men show that two of the United States presidents were from the city while the country furnished twenty.three Of the forty five state governors forty-one are from the country, and in all public offices the rural genius has the man from the city bested by eighty eight per cent. Now the the great city papers are saying that the man from the city is as bright as his country brother, but. why, then. should presidents. governors, and cabinet officers come in such overwhelming proportion from the rural districts2 We think it is through the influence of the "deestrict" and village schools. Then, too, the country lad is put ing in his long winter evenings at his books by the freside, while the city boys are having their fun at the theatre, the banquet table and the many other various amusemen,s that are plentiful in the city. The cradle of democracy is in the hum- ble country and village home. The rural districts still gives birth to democracy's typical representatives.

MINE SHOWS PAY DIRT

w CoPJ 'hO 'o''o"iH6 AiOuA 'hO Prescott Courier:
 "Yavapai county has the greatest and most promising future of any section of the of the entire vest" George Montgomery, general man ager of the Mint Gold Mining and Milling company. declared this morning toa Courier representative. MT. Montgomery arrived this Morn ing from his company's camp in the Copper Basin district,
 "In my experience in mining since 1874, in which I operated in all the principal mining districts of the west, know of no country today that offers such inducements to the legitimate investment of capital in mines as the district in which I am operating," he said. "The same geological coalitions pre- vail there as in Goldield, Nevada, where one of the greatest gold mines in the world is now on a dividend paying basis. the surface ores of which only sampled SIP to the ton. No better surface prospects were found in Cripple Creek, Colorado, than the one my company is now developing. Deep mining will prove my assertions. No more favorable location for large ore de- posits can be found than in the andesiee, porphyry and rhyolite dykes that cut through a section of the Copper Basin district, two and a half miles west of the holdings of the old Copper Basin company. It has hardly been scratched, from a mining standpoint. Deep develop ment of the veins will show it among the richest gold mining sections in the country"
 General Manager Montgomery has new shaft down fifty feet on one of four claims recently pur- chased by his company. The en- tire bottom of the shaft is in the ore. The company is financed to develop the property on a large scale. The whim at the shaft will be replaced by hoisting plant in the near future, and after a depth of 400 feet is reached the series of veins will be exploited by drifts and crosscuts.
 The property IS located eight miles east of Skull Valley station, on the s. F., P. & P. The new shaft is being sunk on a vein 1,5OO feet west of what is known to pic. neer miners as the "McNary quick silver property" MT. Montgomery is elated over the prospect of open ing one of the largest gold mines in northern Arizona. He is as- sociated with Nevada and Williams, Ariz capitalists in the company.
