Courtland Mining Notes.

The Great Western mine is also shipping about 100 tons weekly to the Fl Paso shelter.
 The Calumet E Arizona company has com mmenced shipments to it's Doug las smelter from it's Courtland prop erty, the ore averaging about 6 per cent. copper.
 The Calumet & Arizona ceased op- erations at the April Fool shaft. At present only the surface equipment is in use. The 5oO-ft level of the Ger mania has also been abandoned for the present, only the 300 and 4OO- it. levels being worked.
 The statement that the Copper Queen company has abandoned it's property in this camp is denied by Walter Douglas. manager of the Phelps Dodge properties. who states that while operations have been sus- pended for the present. work will be resumed when the price of copper is higher.-M1ning World.

few years be far in advance of many of the states of the Union in the mat ter of agriculture, and the mining ln- dustry that is now second in the world will itself be second in Arizona to the products of the farm and orchard. The crowded cities of the East are becom- ing interested in the B,ck to the Land" movement. and the abandoned farms of some years ago are being taken up and divided into five and ten acres of market gardens. The city born inhabltailts are exchanging places with their country raised friends ~ho are ffocking to the city. The next few years are bright with hope for Ari- zona, and the great western country, where industry and persistency means greater returns from farming lands than could be ever hoped from trades and labor in the crowded cities of the East.-Tribune

Progress of Siphon Work.

The work on the siphon has pro- eressed but slowly the past week. On the ArIzona side the work has been practically at stand at the seventy foot depth on account of the water. A new engine is on the road and as soon as it arrives and is installed the water troubles will be at an end and sinking will be resumed. On the Oal- ifornia side sInking has been progress ing very we'll, depth of about thirty feet has been reached. with the con- crete walls in place.

Arizona'S Future.

The future of Arizona is not wholly bound up in the development of her mineral resources, and while these are of the greatest importance at the pres- ent time, the stability of her future will depend more on the fact that her opportunities for homeseekers are great
 CT than elsewhere in the west. With several million acres of irrigable land within our borders, and other lands that may be improved in connection with farming lands, not yet scratched by blow or harrow, a population of millions can find here a home and for tune. The recent advertising that the Yuma land opening has received has been of some benefit towards attract ing attention of home seekers to this territory. With over $50. 900 acres of irrigable land in Arizona and as much more in California that can be irri- gated by the Laguna Dam and ad- jacent projects, the Yuma valley bids fair to becolne the garden spot of the west. Cotton, figs, oranges and citrus fruits can be grown in abundan ce,
 while alfalfa, grains, and vegetables are seemingly natural to the soil. The Yuma project is one of the most i'm portant of the great irrigation works the government has undertaken in the western states. and in the coming years when the necessity for regulating the water supply of the Colorado River becomes understood. over ,OOO, 900 of acres can be served by this river alone. Arizona may well advertise to

WHITE WASH CHARGED
IN MCGUIRE CASE
Representative Stephens Dis
SentS From Letter of
EXoneratiOn

DECATUR, Tex, Aug. 29.-Declaring
it a plain and manifest effort to
'white-wash,' Representative John II.
Stephens, as a member of the special
congressional committee investigating
alleged frauds in connection with the
disposition of Indian lands has issued a
sta tement today dissenting from the
letter addressed to Congressman Bird
MCGUIRE, of Oklahoma, by the three Re
publican members of the committee
which exonerated him fro many interest
lin the so-called McMurray contracts
II desire, as a member of the special
committee of investigation to dissent
from the opinion of my Republican coll
leagues" Mr.. Stephens declares, land to
enter my protest against the PLAN and
manifest effort to 'white-wash' a Repub-
lican congressman now a candidate for
reelection. II would be a reflection up
on the intelligence of the voters of Okla
homa to believe Bird Mcclure did not
wilfully and knowingly put before the
house of representatives and endeavor
to secure the passage Of the amendment
that would have validated these individ-
ual McMurray contracts. This is shown
by the congressional record beyond a
doubt"
Before his departure from Pawhuska
Okla, where the last session of the conn
mittee was held, Mr.. stephens says no
suggestion of the letter of generation
was made, but that it was issued after
his departure Friday morning. Mr..
Stephens came to Decatur to attend the
Democratic district convention.

2 KILLED, 5 INJURED
IN DANCE HALL FIGHT
Whites and Negroes Battle at
Mariana, Ark, Early
Sunday Morninu

MARIANNE, Ark, Aug. 2S.-Two ne
groes were killed, four were wounded,
and a white man was fatally injured in
fight which originated in a dance
hall quarrel at Raggio, IL miles east
of here, about l O'Clock Sunday morn
ing.
News of the battle was brought to Ma
rianna about daybreak by a negro who
came to purchase collins. The dead men
are Mack Harvey and Henry Cox. The
wounded negroes are Eli Davis, Pleas
Bailey and Dault Marchbanks John
Russell, a white man, is said to be dy-
ing.
A dance was in progress in the place
when an alteration arose between Mack
Harvey and his wife. Russell, the white
man, ordered them TO cease. Harvey
turned on the white man and declared
he would talk to his wife any way he
pleased. Russell left, and returned short
ly with two other white men, and the
battle followed.
Sheriff Ford returned to Mariana late
Sunday evening and reported the arrest
of half a dozen negroes. He said the
men whom Russell secured to aid him
were deputy constables, and that the
shooting was precipitated when Harvey
refused to be placed under arrest
More than so shots were exchanged in
the battle. Four of the negroes under
arrest are wounded, one of them probably
fatally. Great excitement prevails.
though no immediate outbreak is antic-
ipated.

HIGHEST SINCE WAR,
COTTON GOES TO SKY;
GAINS $500 A BALE
Sensational Fluctuations of
Market During the Previous
Progress of the Bull Cam
paign Are Insignificant
FIRST BALE OF AUGUST
SELLS FOR 19C PER POUND

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-Sensational
as the fluctuations in the cotton market
have been previously during the prog
ress of the bull campaign which start
ed last winter, they faded into insignia
canoe when compared with the big jump
in the price of August contracts this
mornint
Closing on Saturday at 1852, after
having sold at 1907 on Friday morning,
the first sale of August this morning
was at 1886 and inside of half an hour
the shorts were trying to buy at 10 cents
a pound or 21S points $1,000 per bale
over Saturdays close and at the high
est figure reached since the Civil war.
PRICE GOES TO 20 CENTS
There were frequently Is and so points
between sales and only five transactions
occurred on the advance from Is TO 10
cents. while shortly afterwards the price
was forced up TO 20 cents per pound,
nearly SIG per bale above the closing fig
ure of Saturday and 245 points above the
highest price reached by any contract
during the famous bull season of lSOS-O4-
At this price w. p. Brown, the floor lead
er of the bull party, offered to sell lOO,OOO
August This relieved the strain under
which the market had been laboring all
the morning and at the same timej SEEM
ed TO set a limit to the advance. Several
of the big local spot people sold when
they found that the bulls were Willing
TO give the shorts cotton at 20 cents per
pound and the price dropped back to 1920
almost as rapidly as it had advanced ear
lier in the day.
Only about 1000 bales of cotton were
sold at 20 cents and probably less than
as many more changed hands on the
drop from 20 to Is 1-2 cents. When the
bulls made the offer to sell such a large
amount at 20 cents, local traders appar-
entity considered this price would repre-
sent the elimination of the old crop bull
campaign. and when August reacted there
was some selling of the new crop posi-
ton on the ground that the old crop situ-
alton had sustained the new crop at a
higher level than could be maintained
when the old crop was out of the way.
Trade interests were buyers on a mod
crate setback. however. and the market
during the late forenoon was very ner-
vOus and irregular, with evidences of a
continued demand from August shorts
at a decline.
Spot cotton in New York was quoted
today 2S5 points up from Saturday, mid
ding uplands at 975 cents.

P. A. TRAMMELL TO HEAD
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE?
Dalton Citizens Coming to At
Ianta Determined to Have
Him Elected
Especial Dispatch to The Jou. DALI

DALTON, Ga, Aug. 29.-Dalton will
send a large delegation to Atlanta on
Thursday to attend the state conven-
ton. 1t is believed that between so
and 100 will go from this city, and the
delegation will go fully determined to
work for the election of Hon. Paul B.
Trammell to the Craftsmanship of the
state executive committee. Local peo-
pie are confident that all north Georgia
delegates will unite with them in this.
While Dalton people have had this in
view since the election and have asked
Mr.. Trammell to consent to accept the
honor, he has stated that he hasn't any
desire to be chairman of the state COM
mittee. This statement from Mr. Tram
nell, however, has had no effect on
the local delegates, and they intend to
insist on Mr.. Trammell for chairman In
the convention.
The work of on. Haul B. Trammell
during the successful campaign just
closed is known to all Georgians, and
1t is believed that when he is put in
nomination in the convention he will
not be opposed.
For years Paul b. Trammell has been
a leader in this section of the state.
In the last local municipal campaign
he was urged by his friends to become
candidate for the mayoralty of Dali
ton, and after he consented he was elect
ed to the office without opposition, be
ing the first man every honored In this
way. He then led the fight for civic
Improvement bonds to the amount of
$125,0O0, and the bonds received the
biggest majority ever given in a bond
election in this state. When the Hoke
Smith headquarters were opened in At
lanta. at the beginning Of the guber-
Material campaign. Paul B. Trammell
was called to the craftsmanship Of the
state organization which waged the win
ming fight for Hon. Hoke Smith for gov
ernor
OF a retiring disposition Mr.. Trammell
remained in the background, and it was
not until after the election that the
state knew he was the man who, next
to Mr.. Smith himself, was mainly re-
sponsible for the victory.
While Mr.. Trammell will not seek tn e
honor of being chairman of the state
committee, his friends will work to-
ward that end, and 1t is practically GER
tain that ne will be accorded that honor
by the state convention.
Among TIE Whitfield county people
