To Manufacture Rubber
 From Arizona Cactus

Captain E o c Ord, inspecting officer of the National Guard of Ari- zons, hss in mind an idea, which if it can be brought into concrete form, will do much to revolutionize the rubber industry of the country. It nothing more or less than to msnu. fscture rubber from the peculiarly adhesive juices of ore particular variety sf cactus.
 The cactus grows in certain parts of Arizona and New Mexico, and probably in northern Mexico. The name of the variety is withheld by Captain Ord, for the present a, least.
 Captain Ord has already formulated bis plans for the manufacture of the rubber and he is in correspondence with the department of agriculture regarding certain features of the treatment of the cactus juice, which are not yet quite clear to him. He expects, however, to have the new rubber industry launched within a relatively short time.

Want to Control
 Worlds Copper Market

That the real purpose of the El PasO and Southwestern and the Phelps Do ige interests in building to Tucson and connecting ths. city with tidewater at Port Lo.os, via Si.verbell is to secure control O! the copper market oi the world, is the statement Of s man said to be high in the con- tidence of the Phelps Dodge interests, to the Tucson Citizen reporter. He declines to permit the use of hi. name but says:
 "By extending the E. P. & S. w., from Benson and by connecting via Sii'erbe!l with Port Lobos, the Phelpe- Dodge interests will absolutely con trol the copper market of the United States, and further, will control the copper merger shortly to be effected between the amaigamated and Utah copper companies, provided that ad- verse decisions by the United States supreme court in cases now pending do not render such & merger an im- possibility.
 The res.orfor this control is most simple.
 "rEe Phelps Dodge interests which now pay A combined rail and Watel freight rate on their immen.e ors shipments of three cents per pound from Arizors to points to Perth Am. boy, New Jers'y, where their refining and smeltins plsn. is located and to New York where their selling agency is stationed, can, by the use of tide water route reduce this charge at lessI one and one.half cents per pound thus putting them in an impregnabl, position to compete for the market of the entire nation.

Supreme Court Held
 8 Short Session

After passing on large number oi motions for rehesring, most of which were denied, including the Copper Queen back tax case, the snpre me court Saturday adjourned unil Nov. 9, which, by one of those freaks of the almanac that now and then hopper, falls on the same date ss the opening of the territorial fair.
 Among the more important matte [ passed upon was the motion for a re- hearing in the case of Tevis X Me Kittrick, appellants, against Jepp Ryan. ct al., appellees. The motion was granted, for it was supported by both sides That is, there were two motions. In the opinion handed down at the last meeting of the court, the juds sment given the Rysns in the district court for ;l30,0C0 was ma. terially reduced. and it was stated that if the sppellees would accept the modification of the judgment the case would be regarded as having been affirmed That was not done, and 8 motion for rehesring was filed. The modified judgment was no more sslis. factory to the appellants, who alec moved for 8 rehearing.

Lunar Eclipse and the Comet

Tombstoneites witnessed the unus. usl spectacle in the celestial realm last night of the dual attraction of . total lunar eclipse and Hslley's comet which was in evidence with increased brillisncy and splendor. It was an inspiring sight, the Ike of which, ac. cording to the astronomers, will not be visible again in 7S years.
 The lunar eclipse was caused by the earth in its orbit passing between the sun and the noon. thereby casting . shadow on the moon. The shadow of the earth did not entirely cover the moon leaving thin silver rim of light. The eclipse lasted four hours and the comet and ite tail was equally attractive during the same period.

Arizona Prison
 Becoming Congested

Says the Florence Blade: II the
 cour.s of the territory continue to
 grind out convicts at the present rate of convictions, the territorial prison
 will need enlarging within 6 year.
 We are pleased ro state Tn this con- nection that but few Americans are found among the incr easing horde of convicts. This IS a notable feature of prison history throughout the United States and should suggest to the gov- ernment the wisdom of more strin- gent immigration laws and the more rigid enforcement of those we already have. Foreign countries-sided and sbetted by the great industrial com pines des sring cheap labor that can also be voted to keep their political agents in congress-hsve been un- loading their criminal, diseased and pauper element upon this country for yesrs past and this element is filling our prisons and also our aims houses, besides undermining and displscing our high-clsss American labor. This class of criminals are beyond redemp- tion. They are criminal by heredity and absolutely devoid of moral in- stincts. A number of this breed are now serving their fourth and fifth terms in our territorial prison.
