THE LEGITIMACY OF MINING.

After a season OF unsatisfactory IN
vestment in railroad securities, in
manufacturing enterprises, in the re-
clamation of swamp lands, in real es-
tate and lands, financial and CONNER
| cial circles in the east are turning
their eyes to the west, to the SPLEEN
did opportunities offered in the min
ing field, to the great advancement
being made in mining operations, and
to the wonderful fortunes being made
by those engaged in the mining i'm
dustry.
In financial and commercial centers
in the east all eyes are turned to
| the west A great many whose at
tention has been directed westward
are particularly interested in com
mercial pursuits, in agriculture, in
farming and in stock raising, but the
greatest interest, by all odds, is being
taken i'm our wonderful mining indus
try.
In reviewing the history of the
west, in noting it's almost marvellous
| growth, one cannot but be impressed
| by the fact that it was mining that
reclaimed the deserts, the valleys and
hills, and that had it not been for
the adventurous spirit of the pioneer
miner and prOspeotor the Pacific slope
today would be what it was fifty or
sixty years ago-an unknown country,
barren waste, a region beyond the
confines Of civilization.
To the mining industry the west
owes a debt that can never be paid,
and its very existence, almost, is
due to the constant stream of imper-
iShable wealth that has poured from
our mines from the day that gold
was first discovered in California. AS
a matter of fact, California with its
genial climate, it's orchards and dts
groves, the mighty commerce that lis
making the principal cities and sea
ports famous the world over, its
large and rapidly growing population,
is but the outgrowth of the boom
that started when it was discover
ed that in the hills, back from the
coast, there existed great and almost
| ineXhaustible deposits of the pre-
ciouS metals; and the same cam be
truthfully said of the interior states
in this intermomtain region
GnT6 h. LODI hot
led to the settlement of California
by the American people; and the spin
it of unrest, of enterprise and pro
gressivenesG, caused the early pho
neers to branch out and seek bonan-
zas in unknown fields, the result be
ing that there is hardly a western
state today but that has it's mining
camps, its business centers and a
country that lis settled by the farmer,
the rancher and the fruit and cacttle
grower.
When the diSgruntled man claimG
that mining is not a legitimate pur-
suit, he should pause while the net
being enumerated. Nothing that was
great was ever founded on a false
hood or lie, on an insecure and rot
ten foundation, and yet the splendid
empire of the west was built upon
nothing less than the mining indus
try and were this to fail, it would
not be long before the material in
terests of this region would become
so demoraliZed that in course of time
the whole country would be surrend-
erred to the hOwling coyote and be-
come again a virtual wilderness.

ton. Take money and real values

TO REPEAL BILL.

Senator Ashurst last week intro
duced in the senate a bill providing
for the repeal of the statute granting
to the Greeley-Arizona Irrigation com
pany the privilege of constructing a
dam at or near Headgate Rock. So
much agitation has been stirred up
over this company having a special
privilege i'm connection with the Par
ker project that Senator Ashurst evil
IDENTIFY has decided to take dit away.
1t is not believed that the bill cam be
gotten through this session, and i'm
any event we cannot see the neces-
sity of its introduction. If the Gree
ley people are unsuccessful in secur-
ing the contract to construct the irri-
cation works under the Carey act,
the privilege will amount to nothing.
If the company is successful in get
ting the contract from the state, ut
will appear that possessing the con-
ceseion much valuable time would
be saved in getting the works start
ed if our senator would leave the
matter as it stands.

From all parts of Arizona great dis
appointment is expressed over the
recent supreme court decision in the
election matter. 1t appears that the
democrats are more provoked over
the fact that there is to be no gen
eral election in Arizona this fall than
are the republicans, excepting, of
course, those democrats who have had
their jobs cinched for another two
years. This latter class is loud in
praising our honorable judges for
their ability as jurists who know how
to interpret Arizonas constitution
to suit the 'ins'' Apparently, the
space used by the count as an apol-
ogy for it's decision was wasted, as

reasoning themselves, and cannot see

and, as real values are based upon
the precious metals, the industry
which produces gold and silver can
not be otherwise than legitimate, and
the regions producing these metals
must of necessity be the stepping
stone to a growth in population to
improvement and advancement on
