institutions of the country and that the combined dividends paid by the copper companies of the United States exceed the combined dividends paid by all of our railroads.
 Fny-two per cent of the freight han vd by the railroads of thIs country is made up of ore of some commodity associated with the mining and treat ment of ores. According to BraG- street and Dun only 36 per cent of all legitimate mining enterprises fail, as against 54 per cent in general com mercial lines.
 Inability in the past to secure cor rect information concerning mining securities and the propositions they present is largely responsible for the lack of interest shown by the investing public in the mining industry. The advent of the mining broker within the last few years has served to cor rect this condition to large degree and there exists today DO good reason why the investor should stay out of the mining investment field or grope blindly for information.
 The responsible mining broker makes it his business to keep fully and correctly informed in order that he may guide his customers into invest ments which are sound and profitable. He is a specialist and fully competent to advise his clients concerning the investment of funds. There are hun dreds of mining stocks dealt in daily on the various exchanges and curbs of the country into which funds may be put with much better chances of large returns and with equal security as to principal, as in any other line of in- vestments.
 Ii is merely question of separating the wheat from the chaff and what the investor cannot do in this line hIs broker should be able to do for him.
 Henry Ward Beecher said: ''I ad- mire the miners wealth. It is clean. There is neither blood nor tears on it. Nobody has been pinched; body has been wronged. The miner who digs a fortune ouG of the ground has the satisfaction of knowing that he hasn't robbed a soul even though he becomes a thousand times a millionaire.r
 Mr. Beecher's views reflect the ideas of everyone who understands the min ing industry as it really is and as it should be understood.
 The wonderful revenue derived from the mining industry in the Unit ed States is not generally realized, and it is only after scrutiny of the various compilations which appear at the end of each year that one can grasp the magnitude of the amount annually disbursed by mining compa- nies. The United States government reports show the following returns on capital invested:
 Railroads 3 per cent, national banks 6 l-2 per cent, insurance companies Il per cent, lumber industries II per cent, manufacturing 50 per cent, min ing 1S2 per cent.

Kolb brothers, moving picture men, are to make the passage of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado from Bright Angel trail, in Coconino county, to Needles, California, and on the way will take much of the wild and pictur- esque scenery. They have been at work in the Canyon for several years and are said to have some remarkable photographs of the beautiful places through Marble canyon, and in the region known as the Gate of Lsdore.

 before them-north of the Mexican line there are very few mines whose histories may be traced back to a per iod earlier than the fore part of the past century. True, there may be a few antiguas in the southern portion of the country, where the Spanish con- quistadores prospected toward the north; but the mines of today have practically all been opened within the past half-ceutury.
 It is interesting, therefore, to note the evolution Of these modern mines. Many of them have been worked con- tinuously since first opened many more have been worked intermittent ly, until finally some operator has struck the pay shoot, and the mine be- gins to produce. The first prospector, perhaps, finds an outcrop which ap- peals to him as giving favorable indi- cations. Prospecting along this ledge, he finds a spot which looks better than anything else that he has seen, and sinks the required l0-foot hole. If the out look continues good, he spends the summer there, or until his grub gives out, then strikes off to civilization for more grub, or to await the opening of another spring.
 The following year will see hun back at work, begging away, possibly, year after year for many years-in one in- stance recently noted in Colorado, work was continued nearly two score years before the pay shoot was en- countered-until finally his dream of wealth comes true, and the property is gradually developed from prospect into a mine.
 Frequently, however, the prospector has located several other claims, and finding it impossible to keep up the work on all, drops the least promising. In the course of time, years mayhap having elapsed, comes another pros pector who, as usually is done, exam ines the old workings and finds indi- cations which lead him to believe the property can we'll be reopened. Dis couragement may come later, and the prospect again be abandoned. Thus may it go time after time, until finally comes the man who finds the true pay shoot, and the prospect at last begins to emerge as a mine. If all goes well its history from this on is that of steady development, until the full-hedged mine is evolved.
 Under less favorable circumstances, a process very similar to the foregoing may take place, as one operator, then another, tries his hand at it. In not a few instances, as in the older countries the property may even be abandoned and lie unknown, until the passing years have brought advancement in the treatment process, making possible the profitable extraction of values too low to be handled under previous con- ditions. Other circumstances may also have altered. making it possible for a later operator to take up the property and continue it's development.
 What the length of it's life will be after once fully opened, only the fu- ture can determine. There are mines today which appear to be as valuable, practically, as they were years ago, notwithstanding they are producing steadily. Changing conditions make available ore reserves before discard ed, and thus new possibilities are open ed up. The Rio Tinto, however, still holds the palm of long life.-Denver Mining Record.

A New Shelter.

A contract for the erection and e. quipment of the Arizona Consolidated Smelling and Mining company's smelt- CT three miles southwest of Tucson has been let to the Colorado Iron company of Denver for approximately lOO,OOOS, according to G. c. Thornton of the Mine and Shelter Supply Con- pany of New York and Denver, who is in Tucson. He states that he has peen advised to that effect. MT. Thornton's company was one of the several which submitted estimates before letting of the contract.
 The terms of the contract provide for the erection of customs smelter of 300 tons capacity, with all necessary equipment.
 On the old trail running from Vir- ginia City, Nevada to Bodie, Califor- mia, lying within the latter state, about three miles from the line, is the Old Kentuck Mine which has a record of having produced half million in gold. A. Y. Warner, who has been cyanid- ing tH-n .NilinEs @r.tNe Old Kenruck, started up his plant last week, the snow being all gone. He operated his plant all last summer and expects to make his final cleanup of the dump this fall. The tailings run about S.0OS per ton.-Los Angeles Mining Review.

A county seat foht of lar

A county seat fight of large
proportions is trying to make
its way into the affairs of con-
gress, but with the congested
condition of Legislation there
is no probability that the citi-
zens of Douglas and Bisbee
who are ambitious to remove
the seat of Coch1se county
from Tombstone to one of the
former cities will receive con-
sideration at the present ses-
sion. 1t has been pointed out
by the people from Arizona
that the romantic old town of
Tombstone, which became the
county seat in 1882, has suf-
fered greatly from the shut
ting down of its mines, and it
is no longer in the front rank
regarding population, as COM
pared with the rivals for
county seat honors. To those
who understand the congress
sional situation, the futility of
attempting to secure action
by congress, on a purely local
matter so late in the session,
is obvious. There have been
many visitors here from Ari-
zona of late, and some of
these gentlemen who are not
directly interested in the con
troversy have pointed out to
your correspondent the fact
that territorial statutes provide
a method by which a question
of this kind may be submitted
to the electorate. The atti-
tude of the committee on ter
ritories in reference to legis-
lation regarding matters that

or local authorities of the ter
ritory, was distinctly shown
in the report of the tax levy
bill in which all matters that

Sloan, in SO many words,
would emasculate the consti-
tuition adopted by 50 per cent
of the people of Arizona and
would remove from the con-
stitution the features which
are dearest to the hearts of
its supporters, but which are
horrifying to the Especial in
terests' and reactionaries of
the territory, whether demo
cratic Or republican.
The people of Arizona want
no more of this sort of rot;
their patience is exhausted.
They will gladly welcome aid
from any person or any inter
est which will advance the
cause of statehood under the
constitution adopted by the
people, but they don't intend
to permit the constitution to
be cut and slashed to suit the
corporations and Governor
Sloan.
1t is high time for Governor
Sloan to cease his efforts to

@HE CORPORATIONS
~ through the subsidized

string of papers, suggests that
all those in Arizona who would
prefer statehood without the
initiative, referendum and re-
call, should sign petition
asking the president and con-
gress to eliminate any objec-
jectionable features from the
constitution and pass a new
enabling act providing for the
admission of Arizona. When
the canned constitution should
be ratified by the people.
The suggestion is conceived
in minds disloyal to all except
to the corporations in Arizona
who want no statehood. Its
an apparent effort to divide
the people so that a united
front shall not be presented
to the president and congress.
1t deserves the contempt of
every true friend of Arizona,
and it will unquestionablv re-
ceive it. The sentiments ex-
pressed by certain of the stand
pat opposition in the country
calling on all the people to
unite in favor of the constitu-
ton is in striking contrast to
this Benedict Arnold sugges-
ton of the Star.
Arizonans, backed by an So
per cent majority for the con-
stitution, will insist on state
hood under that constitution
without any amendment what
soever and we have every con-
fdence that President Taft
will not be so unfair to our
people as to disapprove it.
Governor Sloan continues
to grossly insult Arizonans,
His latest suggestion, to
change the constitution some
way at Washington, is the
most unwarranted and un-
called for piece of statesman
ship we have seen in over
thirty years residence in Ari-
zona. 1t is in striking con-
traSt to the statements issued
by the other leaders of the op-
position, who now declare that
all the people should give the
constitution as adopted most
patriotic support.
At least SO per cent of Ari-
.zonans have felt for sometime
that the governors usefulness
to the people of Arizona as
their chief executive was at an
end. Never a fit person for
the position either by ability
or temperament, his inter
views given out at Washing
ton few months ago, when
he misrepresented the senti-
ments of Arizonans on the
constitution, and later the
brazen effort to coerce the
people into voting against
their constitution by insinua-
tions that President Taft had
told him he would welcome
an opportunity to disapprove
of the measure, have placed
him SO out of sympathy with
the people of Arizona that his
value as governor must be at
an end, unless it be for the
corporations.
