AC 81 LUIS lazy OloDe-DeuO-
crat Of May 5 has the following to
say:
Alabama's primary has done more
than give setback to statewide
prohibition. 1t has called a halt
on the anticorporatiol folly which
has ragged there, as well as in
some of the other southern states
and in few of those of the west
IN recent years The man who has
carried the state for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor,
Emmett O'Neal, is a local option
advocate He has overwhelming
" beaten Mallory, the sta wide
liquor exclusionist. O'Neal stands
also for fair treatment for the
railways and the other corpora
lions.
Nine states have statewide prohibi-
ton. Three of these-Maine. Kan
sas and North Dakota-are north
ern states The others-Nortn
Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee and Oklahoma
Are southern states Ala bama
is one of the states which became
dry on January 1, 1909. After
an experience of a little over a
year that state has turned against
the exclusionists, and intends to
let the counties and the big towns
deal with the liquor issue indie
pendently. In the coming cleo
to express itself concretely on
this question, with the result that
the old sane method of home rule
for the various communities in
the state viii be adopted anew.
1t is believed that Mississippi and
North Carolina, both of which
also began the statewide exper-
iment at the beginning of 1909,
viii return to local option at an
early day. In Tennessee, which
shut out the liquor traffic, IN tho
DRY, on July 1, 1909, the expert
ment is likewise q failure.
The most important result OF the
Alabama primary, however. is the
defeat of the general scheme of
fanaticism and prescription for
which Governor Conner has stood.
At the head Of the demagogues
of his state, Conner has hampered
the big corporations there, has
inflicted millions of dollars Of
damage on the people of the
state. and has given aid and COM
fort to the agitatorS and fanatics
who have had a free hand in
running the affairs of several of
the southern commemorative in
recent times. The issue of 1iber-
alism and sanity has gone so far
in Alabama that IT enters into
the primaries for the selection of
all sorts of officials, from mem
bers of the legislature and gov
ernor up TO members of the Sem
ate and the House of Represen-
tatives. Apparently. the liberals
are making a clean sweep of the
state. The setback for prohibit
ton in Alabama. which has tried
that policy. ought to have a good
deal of influence in Missouri
which has not tried It, but in
which there is a movement in
its favor.

FINALLY LETS GO.


Former Senator w. A Clark of
Montana has finally disposed Of his
principal Butte mines and the reduc-
ton works to the Amalgamated Cop
per company, leaving the big corpora
ton In almost complete possession of
the camp. SO far as the production of
the red metal 10 concerned.
It was Senator Clark who freighted
copper ore by wagon down to Corinne,
Utah. and shipped IL to Baltimore for
smelling IN order to demonstrate the
value Of the deposits on the hillside of
Silver Bow creek.
Prior to that time the gulches had
been washed bare OF gold and the
quartz mines in operation carried sill
yer, the Walker brothers Of this city
being among the principal owners and
producers.
Marcus DAILY was sent TO the Mon
tana camp by the Walkers as man.
ager Of their properties. Being a
practical miner and q shrewd Irish
man withal, DAILY gathered together
valuable copper properties for the late
Senator Hearst Of California. ]. B.
Haggin and Lloyd Tevis, and the Ana
conda Copper company was formed.
A short time before his death DAILY
helped form the Amalgamated com
pany, which, with the Anaconda prop
critics as a basis. absorbed the Boston
q Montana, Butte & Boston, Parrot
and other properties. The Gagnon
mine and Colorado smelter, the prin-
cipal owner being the late Senator
Hill OF Colorado, was also taken over.
Senator Clark was a large stock
holder in the Gagnon mine and the
Colorado smelter, but had not control
so he let go Of his holdings. Up to
the present time we believe that is the
extent Of the Amalgamated's DUR
chases from Mr.. Clark.
When the Analgamated was first
contemplated, it was stated that SEN
ator Clark was offered s5O,00e,OO0 in
stock for the United Verde mine in
Arizona and the presidency of the new
company If he would come In. addi-
tional stock to be given for the Butte
properties. This offer Mr.. Clark is
said to have refused, because he pre-
ferred absolute control as an indiyid-
ual producer.
Now, after the lapse of years. the
Butte properties have passed into the
hands of the Analgamated, and SEN
ator Clark retires from the field in
Montana as a copper producer. He
still owns the United Verde at Jerome.
Ariz-. and will continue to operate it.
Before sailing for Europe, Senator
Clark expressed satisfaction with the
present outlook for copper. declaring
that there are not more than four
months supply on hand in the world
just now, and that the situation will
work itself out satisfactorily in dine
time Having accurate knowledge of
the situation, his opinion is entitled
to great weight as TO the future of the
market

PEACE DAY.

This is Peace day in Salt Lake. At
the great tabernacle earnest and
thoughtful men and women will meet
and give voice to their sentiments. The
place of meeting is a Mormon house
OF worship, but a Jewish rabbi will be
the principal speaker, and many Of
the prominent Protestant pastors of
the city will be upon the platform.
That gives the meeting a peaceful
aspect t. begin with. Moreover, it
shows that in the great battle for the
uplifting and betterment Of humanity
seetarian religious views are put aside
and the Jew, Mormon and Gentle
work together in harmony.
The Master brought message of
peace to the earth nineteen centuries
ago and good will toward men. His
true. followers have ever str-ven to
turn aside the edge Of the sword to the
end that nations as well as communi-
ties might live as one great family
They are striving today with redou-
bled vigor, and the meeting at the tab
ernacle is but one of the signs of the
mighty forces at work
II is said that no war is ever justi-
fable. Doubtless one side or the other
IS to blame, frequently both, when a
resort 20 arms occurs, and the skirts
of the United States are not entirely
clear. if we take the word of former
Secretary of State John ". Foster,
who addressed the Peace conference
the other day.
But, leaving the dead past to bury
its dead, the eyes Of the Christian
world are turned hopefully toward
the future. VIII the time ever come

ACTIVE WORK IN
YUMA DISTRICT
Properties With Gold
Bearing Ore Are Be
inc Developed.

Reports from the North Star mine
and the country around in the district
near Yuma, Ariz., confirm more and
more the belief that that section is des-
tined to be one of the richest gold pro-
ducing districts in the west From the
explorations made it seems now quite
certain that the gold bearing rock con-
sists of five principal veins. running
parallel in north and southwest di-
rection, besides numerous stringers
some of which are almost large enough
to be claSSed as veins.
The main shaft of the North Star is
down about 500 feet, and values found
in the rock in the bottom are as great
as that found at the surface by the
original locator. Only rock that carries
$50 or more is being worked now. and
that of lower grade is being stored for
future handling.
The King of Arizona and the Star are
the deepest mines in the district. but
these have demonstrated the depth and
continuity of the ore and values. and
number of other properties of similar
showing, as far as worked, are now be-
ing vigorously developed

OROCRANDE MAN COMPLAINS THAT
FL PAsO IS KNOCKING THAT CAMP

he would never reach Orogrande, and
so it proved
Now it is true that we do not have
any large number of dividend paying
mining propositions in this district, at
this time, but it is also true that there
is not a more thoroughly mineralized
district, or district more thoroughly
equipped by first class railroad. mail,
express and general local conditions in
the entire southwest 1t is also true
that there has been a good deal of ex-
celent ore shipped out and Smelted in
the district. The very properties in
cluded in the proposition which this
man was coming to look over have a
shipping record of 1000 tons of copper
gold ores with values varying from
80 to $50 pounds of copper per ton and
with gold values running from s1.O0 to
$500 per ton, and including 40 carloads
that averaged about $500 in gold and
$1,000 in copper per ton.
1t is not claimed that this is a bonan-
"a mine but it Is an excellent prospect
and was being presented as such and /
have no hesitation in saying that there
is not an engineer in Ell Paso that
knows anything of practical value con-
corning this property, and very little
if anything of value concerning any
other Orogrande mining property, yet
situations they take it upon themselves
to turn our camp down. and this too,
without knowing anything about the
property.
Wants Fair Show.
Were this merely a single or isolated
case no attention would have been taken
of the matter. but it has become a
notorious fact that Ell Paso as a city
is eternally and everlastingly knock
ing" Orogrande and this mining district.
and this in spite Of the fact that Ell
Paso gets practically every dollars
worth of trade done in Orogrande. Is
this right? Is there any justice in such
a condition. Does Ell Paso want to do
business with Orogrande, or does she
want to turn the trade to some other
point.
The citizens of this community are be-
ginning to ask these questions and some
have gone SO far as to advocate bust
ness boycott against FL Paso as a mat
ter Of self interest,"
Why does not Ell Paso give Oro-
grande a fair show? Why does she,
as a city. not help to build up this dis
trict and help develop our mines and
thus help to build her own future and
her own territory.
Knocking" another locality never
built up any city. Tearing down one
community never builds up another.
The territory surrounding FL Paso must
be fOstered, built up and aided in every
possible way if Ell PaSo would build
her own structure permanently.
Some day Orogrande is going to be
one of the greatest mining camps in
the southwest, is the opinion of as good
engineers as Ell Paso can boast. There
is no question but that the mineral
zone is here. The present question is
one of development Does Ell Paso
want to help in this development or
does she want to retard it Which is
she going TO do?
Very sincerely yours.

RICH STRIKE Of
NATIVE COPPER
New Ore Encountered in the
Little Daisy Near Jer-
ONE, Arizona.

What is believed to, be one Of the
greatest copper strikes in the history
OF Arizona is reported to have just been
made in the Little Daisy ground of the
United Verde Extension Mining COM
pany, near Jerome being a body of nine
feet of ore, carrying red oxide of copper
and copper glance, which was cut at a
depth of 500 feet A remarkable con-
dition in mining was proved in this
discovery, the ore body being practically
solid mineral.
J. j. Fisher, general manager, came
into town from camp, bringing several
samples of the red oxide and copper
glance, and created the greatest en-
thuSiaSm
For three years, work of exploration
has been prosecuted until after several
hundred feet of sinking and drifting,
this new ore body was suddenly en-
countered- The miners noticed the
change in appearance of the drilIings
and began panning them, and the re-
suits were astounding, as the bottom
of the pan showed native copper in such
quantities as TO excite the miners who
were conversant with big values.
The company owns three claims, of
which the main one is in the gulch run
ming through the town of Jerome and
below the United Verde.

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
In behalf of the citizens and mine
owners of the Orogrande mining dis
trict, desire to register a decided pro-
test against the 'knocking" of FL Paso
against this camp. L have hesitated a
long time in voicing this protest, but ii
has come to the point where patience
mas ceased to be a virtue and it is now
a maIteT of self preservation.
So pronounced has this knocking
become and SO persistently is it adhered
to by the Ell Paso interests that it has
become a common street saying that it
is impossible to get any mining man
through FL Paso out to this camp.
To make my meaning entirely clear
beg TO quote a letter which the writer
received yesterday. In explanation
will say that, together with a CORE
spondent and associate at another min
ing point, 1 have worked for two or
three months to bring this person from
New York to Orogrande to look over a
group of mining properties. This man
finally advised Us that he was coming
west and would, on his trip. stop and
make an examination of the properties
in question.
