 And Supervisor Towle evidently bases his belief on the results of tho census thus ia robtained.
 lt seems that the increase in ponu. lation outside of the principal citie. of the Territory is much greater tban anticipated, because of the growth of numerous mining camps, and tho in. ception of many which were not in existence when the last census was taken. Formerly isolated section, of the Territory are more thickly set. tied and new cities and towns have sprung up in the last ten years where before were only sand hills or bare mountain sides. A notable instance is Douglas, where there was nothing ten years ago, and which now is n city of probably 10000 inhabitants.
 Census Supervisor Towle does no, say that the enumeration of the Ter. ritory will show over 100000. Pre-. vious to the beginning of the enum. eration he stated that he believed the census would total that figure at least. Today he says that ne ha. reasons to believe that the total will exceed his first estimate. There. fore, it is concluded that Mir. Towle has figures sufficient to base an opin. ion that the total census of Arizon. ans, exclusive of Indians, at ovc, 100000.

GLOBE orT1cERs ENTER PLEAS or GUILTY

Because of the fact that they pleaded guilty and the additional fact of extenuating circumstances. the city officers who pleaded guilty to in. dietments charging them with neglect or duty, were assessed low fines by Judge Lewis, in the District Court, this morning, says the Daily Globe.
 City Marshal Anderson was sen. tenced to pay fine of t200 and his two deputies, R. J. Edwards and wirt Anderson, were given fines of $50 each. A like fine was imposed upon Deputy Sheriff James swearingen. All of the fines were paid.
 When Marshal Anderson was called up for sentence, Attorney Norman Johnson, who represented the officers asked and was granted permission to address the court in their behalf. He stated that he did not wish to jus. sify the acts of omission of his clients, who had already pleaded guilty, but he desired to vindicate them in the eyes of the people. Hc called attention to the fact that Inc city ordinance licensing gambling was still on the ordinance book, and that the marshal had been instructed by the city council not to enforce tho Territorial gambling law, because in that event the city would lose the money collected beforehand in licen. sing games. He stated that it could only be considered a technical breach Of the Territorial law. s..-
 The court, in passing sentence stated that he fully appreciated the situation which had existed in the city, as regards the enforcement of the gambling law, and declared that his intention was not t6 punish the offenders as though the acts com plained of were wilful violations of the Territorial laws. He called atten' tion, however, 10 the fact that it was the duty of the city police to enforce Territorial laws just as they were sworn to enforce city ordinances. Tn sentencing tne deputy marhals, tn, court stated that he had given con sideration to the fact that they were acting under instructions from tho city marshal. In Swearingen's cass it had been shown that the officel had been appointed as special dep uty for Black Warrior precinct, ant that his duty consisted principally o keeping the peace in that precinct.
 Sentence of the officers was pre- ceded by taking the pleas in th' cases of those indicted on gamblinl indictments, in all of which demur rers argued yesterday were overrule' this morning. A. A. Sterns, Georg fR. Brown, Ed. Knight, James House Herbert Fox and John II. Fitzpatricl then entered pleas of not guilty, an all cases were set for trial mex Monday, May l6.

DISSEMINATION ON MINES c- OLD AND NEW


 There is a certain glamor about the story of past ages that may be used to deceive our present lives. A mining engineer is quoted as saying that, according to his cx. perience, an old mine always a,- tracts more attention than a new one. "People have been filled up with lot of tommy.rot about the wealth of the ancients," he says, "nnd for this reason any kind of an Ophir yarn makes them fall. l" The fact that mine was worked a century or two ago may invest 1t with glamon of history and romance, but the supreme rest of any mining property must be the existence of valuable ores in com. mercial quantities. The story of Solomon or the Aztecs will not of itself pay dividends in 1910, says the Mining Record.
 John Hays Hammond, in one of his "donts" for mining investors, warns against buying into mine merely because it has produced mil. lions in the past The millions talk en out are so many millions less remaining. The same argument may apply in some measure to the an ciene mine, which enjoys the tradi. ton of having produced princely wealth for it's owners. IT it has produced such princely wealth which is usually exaggerated by the tradi- ton, so much the better for the an. cient owner while he was alive. IL IS of no use to him now, and mucn less to the modern investor in the old property. There is, of course, sc.ne- thing to be said in favor of modern methods of mining and raetallurgy, which os'en make old taijings dumps available that we've formerly regarded as waste. Modern science can do many things that our forefathers were incapable of. For which reason we should trust modern science, instead of reposing all our faith in ancient story. If we could, for the mere wishing, call back the conditions un. der which the ancients lived, we would reject the proposition in a minute.
 There is one advantage about the old mine, if it has not eaved too badly. Some remnant of the laboi expended in delving in the eartr may still remain to make 1t easier for the modern man 10 follow up tho work. It is an advantage to be abl' to get at the subterranean conditioni at small cost, for the purpose of turn ing in an engineer to see about th' geological situation. There is no ob lection to working the old mine, mere ly because it is old, but it must re ceive the same amount of critical ex animation that would he bestowe' upon a new one. There is no specia difference in the criteria. The min ing engineer takes no serious aceoun of the ancient story that is presume
 by many to guide his research.
 Somewhat similar reflections ma , be applied to the ''lost mine" 1T dustry. The records in such case are even more evasive and fancifs than they may be in the case of th , old mine that was never lost. Min' , with big records are not easily los , When they are lost, it is probabl 1. because the discovcrers were not [ n position to work them, and the ,. doubtful data, passed down 10 nc y generation remain still to be test' | by a little modern investigation.

 Will the census of Arizona exceed | |soOOO0s
 That is q question which has been asked by many since long before the taking of the decennial census was begun, on April l5.
 It is of utmost importance to the Territory, for it has been rumored consistently that in the event that the total figures fell below that amount, opposition more strenuous than that in the past would develop against the cause of statehood at the national capital. The census officials are not allowed 'o give out the result of the enum. uation. IL is the duty of the chief agent of the Census Bureau in An' zona, the census supervisor, merely to classify the schedules submitted to him and send them to the Bureau a' Washington. He is not allowed to give out any figures, but nc " no' prohibited from venturing a guess a' 10 the total.
 Now Supervisor Towle refuses t0 state what he believes will be the total enumeration for Arisons, but hs has reason for believing that It VIII sreeed his first sstimsts, which wal Zoo GOO rhst is exclusive of In dinss.

SUPERVISORS HAD
 sArIarAcroRY JOURNEY
CFrom Sundays Daily,

After several days spent in making examinations of road conditions pre-. vailing in the Bradshaw and adjacent regions of the southern part of the county, Messrs. Geo. P. Harrington; B. II. Smith and J. W. Stewart, mem. bers of the Board of Supervisors, re. turned Friday night, reporting an en. joyablc visit, and from which q fu. ture line of action will be followed in official consideration of their road observations.
 The road building from the camp of the Pacific Copper company, they found to be under headway, and the estimated cost will run from $l0,000 to $l2,000. The distance will run to nearly four miles to connect with the road that leads to Crown King. Of the above sum the county will prob ably contribute s2,O00. The route has been surveyed by w. II. Merritt, the civil engineer of this city, from the Castle Rock mine below Harrington to the Pacific camp.
 Another appropriation will be made affecting the old road that leads from the Grown King mill to the top of the mountain at the Gladiator mine 10 repair that route, and the esti mated outlay will reach $500. Th' reopening of several mines in tha zone is the basis of this movement and particularly so the splendid re suits following development and re opening of the Gladiator and Wa Eagle mines. At the present tim' nothing but pack animals can tray erse that section, the old roadwa! being impossible for wagons.
 The coming of the Territorial high way mas materially affected count. action in road building from liarrinR ton south through the Silver Noun tain district. and from that point t Columbia. It is probable that the Pa cific road will be utilized also by tn Territorial highway for short di' tance and to n point where 1t reache the mouth of Silver Creek For thu reason the county will not enter int any road movement down the distric to the recent strike on the Mont Carlo. or where other mining work going on in the district.
