Big Deal on for Superior Mine.

There is every indication that Su- perior, Pinal county, will soon be the liveliest mining camp in Arizona. The American Smelling x Refining company is negotiating with the Lake Superior x Arizona Mining & Smel- ting company for the purchase of the l7 claims, composing their holdings at Superior. On the 18th day of June, 1912, the directors of the last named company entered into an agreement with the A. s. x R. company to option to them all their l7 mining claims and all the personal property located at Superior and all personal property connected herewith. A meeting of the L. $. x A. M. X s. Co. will be held at Florence on July P, at ? o'clock p. m., to ratify the action of the Board of Directors in this matter. The option grants to the A. s. x R.. Co.,, an exclusive right, until the 20th day of October, 1912, to enter upon said claims, unwater the mines. cross cut, explore and prospect the same and to do all other work necessary to do in order to prove the value of the property. It also gives to the said company full right to use all ma chinery on the ground during the life of the option. The option also in- cludes two plans of purchase, styled respectively "A" and "B" and the A. $. x R. Co. has the right to decide, between now and October 20, which of the plans it will purchase under. "Plan A" provides that the purchaser shall pay 400, ,000$ cash and two-fifths of the capital stock of the company organized by the purchasers to acquire and operate the property. This plan further provides that in case the purchasers elect to accept it they shall take possession of the property at once and proceed to work and operate it, and expend thereon each three months, during the life of the option, at least 9,000$, up to October 20th, 1912, and 500$ each month there. after till final payment is made, or the option forfeited, the final payment being due and payable on Oct. 2Oth, 1914. "Plan B" provides that the purchasers may take possession of, ex- plore, mine and operate the property, provided they expend in such work 15,0OOS for each period of three months up to Oct 2Oth, 1914, and provided further that they pay 500$ each month during all that time, to the Guaranty Trust Co.,, of New York, for the &C., count of the sellers. The purchase price under "Plan B, is 0,0OOS cash, provided the said purchasers pay the said amount within one year after they have given the sellers written notice that they have elected to exercise the right to purchase under 'Plan B;' failure to pay within the said year will raise the final purchase price to 10000 O$ cash. The agreement is very lengthy and covers large amount of detail. The American Smelling X Refining Co. is to file a good and sufficient bond that will protect the l.. s. & A. M. X S. Co. against any liability for debts con- tracted by the former company in working and operating the property Eloropca Blade Tr;b,po

Pugflism Finds Its Level.

In the continued pre-eminence Of John
son as a champion, the world has a fine
demonstration OF what pugilism really
is When the title was held by old John
L. Sullivan there was a certain senti-
ment in the game. When Gentleman
Jim Corbett came along, It caught the
gloss Of certain veneer OF respecta-
bility Freckled Bob Fitzsimmons, with
his solar plexus, gave 1t a touch OF
science. But the game began to seek
its level when boilermaker Jeffries came
along to wear out his opponent by lean
ing his bulk on his shoulder, with his
cave man crouch, with his reliance on
brute strength to give and take 1t
found its level absolutely when John
son. the tiger in the skin Of an ape,
crumbied Jeffries before the eyes of a
world that suddenly cried and then COM
menced to wonder what II was crying
about. The game Is till on the level
with Johnson's second victory. 1t will
be long before another white hope comes
along, for Arthur must further exhibit
his jewels, his automobile. his white

The Bankruptcy Law.
From the Manchester Union.

From the Manchester Union
The Federal bankruptcy law was de-
signed for the relief of honest debtors,
and appears to have been generally re-
garded as fair alike to such debtors
and to creditors when fairly enforced.
The difficulty has been, Of course, in the
practical application Of the law to all
cases, and the chief trouble is alleged
to have come through the sharp practice
of a certain type of lawyers. The Com
mercial Law League will hold its annual
convention at Colorado Springs this
week, and practices which are calculated
to promote injustice in bankruptcy pro-
ceedings will. 1t is said, form the chief
topic OF discussion. A committee of the
league has made a study of the situation,
and Will recommend the appointment of
national committee to consider COM
plants against lawyers acting In bank
rtIptcy cases and to prosecute them when
such course Is found to be warranted
by the facts. The committee has found
that some Of the unprofessional prac-
tees are the soliciting Of claims. divid-
ing fees, and taking pay from the other
side. Worse still, it is asserted that in
some cases criminal proceedings are re-
sorted to to extort settlements, a prac-
tice which comes SO near to being black

The Western Maryland Extension

From the Philadelphia Record.
While Baltimore will be the chief
gamer, Philadelphia should also benefit
largely by the opening next week of the
ConnellsvilIe extension OF the Western
Maryland Railway. which will convert
what is now essentially a local road into
a trunk line through its connection with
the Vanderbilt system. For many years
there have been close traffic relations
between the Western Maryland and the
Reading. and there is an immense ex-
change of freight through their juno
ton in the Cumberland Valley. This
business should be largely increased by
the opening of the Western Maryland's
extension from Cumberland, Md, TO
Conneilsville, and a new route to the
West is thus created for Philadelphia.
Through a long-term traffic contract with
the Vanderbilt system the new line is
already assured a large business This
Is the elimination Of one of George
Gould's dreams OF building up a trans
continental line. Unfortunately for the
Goulds they have been pretty well
squeezed out of Western Maryland, and
the success of the road under other
hands will bring no great reward TO
them.

Amid the turmoil of politics. and re-
gardIess of the claims of this or that

mind the following facts:
.d The country is now producing pig
iron at the rate Of about 100000 tons
year, with consumption exceeding
production. This is at the rate of about
4,Ooo.con tons higher than the boom
year of 1906. and at the rate of about

of 1910. the record year of iron output.
C2I The cotton manufacturing interests
Of the country. which for several years
suffered from a period of depression
greater than this industry had had for
very many years, are now enjoying great
prosperity. Cotton mills In all parts of
the country are crowded with work and
making money.
90 To the amazement of the cotton
trade of the world. a crop of 16,5oO,ooo
bales has been rapidly absorbed at stead
ily advancing prices.

sert that the contest is between Taft
and Wilson. This is practically the
present situation.
There will be, of course, revival
of Roosevelt sentiment as soon as he
commences to tour the country. He
will have much to say in his usual
impulsive and impetuous fashion, and
he will attract enormous crowds. So
did Bryan in 1896 and 1908. Crowds
do not always mean votes. They did
not in Bryan's case, and Roosevelt is
likely to have the same experience. 1t
will be interesting to see what issues
he will raise. His theft charges have
not left a deep impression upon the
country; he handles the tariff in evasive
fashion; he can hardly make the people
believe that he can reduce the cost of
living. We shall have, of course, long
harangues against the bosses and stir
ring orations on the rule of the peo-
pie, but even these topics will become
hackneyed in time.
While Mr. Roosevelt is cavorting
around the country, President Taft will
remain quiescent If he does not change
his present determination he will make
no political speeches during the cam
paign There is no question as to the
dignity of this position, although many
Republicans would feel much better If
he should take occasion to deliver one
or two addresses IN support of party
principles Up to the present time there
has been no announcement that the work
which he does not believe it is in
cumbent upon him to do will be taken
up by the members of the Cabinet. 1t
will be remembered that the Cabinet
officers were not particularly active in
the pre-convention struggle, and yet
upon them might appropriately devolve
the duty of acquainting the people with
the achievements of President Taft's
administration. They know, or they
ought to know, the details of each ac-
complishment, and the messages which
they are thus equipped to deliver might
prove most effective. So far, however,
ex-Vice President Fairbanks is the
only Republican of note who has been
