TAFT's TROUBLES.
(New York Evening Post

T
 What may happen to Mir. Taft in Wisconsin, Iowa or Kansas is indi- cated by what is happening in the hitherto nOn-prOgressive state of Ulin- ois. If the defection apparent in the republican press of Chicago is at all an index of sentiment throughout the state, then Illinois may soon be enc my's territory for Mir. Taft. The Chi. cago Tribune for Mir Taft. The Chi against the president. The Daily News seems waiting for the next ex- ample of presidential indiscretion in order to follow the Tribune. The presi- dent may soon be in the unfortunate position of having for his chief daily organ in Chicago the newspaper con- trolled by Mir. Lorimer, from which support MT. Taft may devoutly beg to be delivered, as he may also from hay ing Lorimer join him in attacking the insurgents The revolt Of the re publican press is all the more serious to MT. Tafts prospects because such action carries with it no charge Of dislOyalty 70 the republican party, such as might be brought against re- publican senators and congressman who have voted against the president. Where a newspaper would hesitate to oppose the president in office 1t is at liberty to oppose the candidate for the presidential nomination.

The situation is so mixed that no one feels like taking a de- eided position in market with prices at practically the lowest figures Of the year. There is no snap to the ral. lies, and at a little advance all buying seems to stop.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 12-The move ment of stocks on exchange today in- dicated that for the time being. at least, Wall street was in more cheer ful mood. The market developed its customary irregularity, with no signs that any substantial support has been rendered. Trading began at a higher level. and throughout the sesion the list ranged somewhat above the pre- Nious close. The advances resulted largely from covering of short con tracts by persons believing that the market was oversold. The European markets were a source of strength, the liquidation of shares being re- placed by purchases of about 5000 shares. Outside of the market leaders there was much irregularity. Inter- national Harvester lost two points on the circulation of a report of approach ing proceedings by the federal gov ernment Pacific Mail gained 2.

MINING NOTES
THE o. D. MINE.
(Globe Silver Belt).

Friends may come and friends may go, but the old Dominion mine goes on forever The best, oldest and surest friend Globe has ever had is the Old Dominion mine. For years it has been> producing and has been the mainstay for Globe. Other mines have started and seem ed for a while that they might ri- val the Old Dominion, but never a rival Something more than a gen. eration ago it became a producer, and it is still a producer.
 The Old Dominion has a happy way Of growing bigger and better all the time It never has startled the world with any spectacular or sudden stunts, but for good, old fashioned, steady. development she is a dandy. Globe and the people of Globe are justly proud of the Old Dominion. They are not only proud, but grateful, and the conf dence Globe has in the life and productive power of the Old Domin- ion mine is attested by the many large and substantial structures, both business and residential, to be found here.
 Another reason why Globe and es. pecially its business men are such stanch friends of the mine is be. cause they confine their attention to mining, leaving the retail grocery and other small mercantile busi. .nesses to the citizens of Globe.
 As one of the officials remarked in discussing this problem recently: We would rather have the support and good will of the citizens of Globe than any profits we could possibly derive from the commercial exploitation of it's people. Years of experience in the mining business in Arizona has shown conclusively that the only mines that justify their existence and capitalization are those which are strong enough to be self-supporting without the aid of subsidiary or allied commercial organizations"
 The old Dominion mine, backed by such sentiments as these, gives courage.
 Let the price of copper go up a little and the Old Dominion may be. gin to unload some of its big re serves which it has been carefully garnering during these quiet years in copper.
 Globe is proud of the Old Domin- ion and the Old Dominion is proud of Globe.

Flores went 10 Nogales, from here, his 6estI- nation not being known.
