 HARSHAW Ariz. Aug.1.-For the time being mining matters are some what on the retired list. Some two and a half years ago during the cop per boom no camp in the territory presented a liyelier appearance than Harshaw. A great number of proper ties were being developed, a number of them giving evidence that they would enter the list of producers of the red metal.
 But the panic came and the slump in copper followed. The parties who had bonded these properties paused held their breath, ceased working un- til such time as the copper situation would right itself. But unfortunately the copper situation has not improved So our condition remains in status quo.
 However We will still have the min eral. together with all the other ac- cessories that go to make rich and successful mining camp, and are con fident that when the clouds blow away Harshaw and surrounding district will be to the forefront
 Harshaw district was originally worked for s..ver and lead exclusively and some twenty or thirty years ago. Such mines as the Trench owned by Haggin and Hearst the California mi lionaires was a large and profitable producer. There was also the Her mosa, which produced for it's owners bullion to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also the Amer ican the Flux the HardsheH the Alto, the January and several other properties in the district that were profitable producing mines and there are none of them worked out; they could all be put in the producing class today if put in operation. But their ownership has passed into the hands Of non-residents and they simply pay the taxes on these properties and let it go at that
 But we have a local force of miners and prospectors here who are making | up in brawn and intelligence what ! they lack in capital.
 NJ P. Grady has devoted the past three years to the development of a group of seven claims, kuown as the Alamo Springs group, some two miles northwest of Harshaw h.s results have been very gratifying and he is confident of reaping a rich reward for his arduous toll. Adjoining the Alamo Springs group Is the Jefferson mine owned by a Mir, Cochran oi Pennsylvania and is being developed under the superintendency of George Weiland, who reports having encoun tered ore to exceed one hundred dol lars per ton in value. Still east of the Jefferson is a property being pros pected by Messrs. Sharett and Wad dell with Bisbee backing. They have cut their ledge with a sixty foot tun nel finding ore that runs from five tC twenty-two per cent copper and sever al ounces in silver.

 Won't some one define just wha Is meant by a safe and sane constitn tion. The impression is gaining ground that that phrase is being overworked it looks to a man up tree as indef mite and meaningless as 'my policies which mean nothing or at least so fai it has never been explained.
 The trend of opinion of the voter in this region regardless of party at filiations is for a constitution mad; by Arizonans and for Arizonans. A
