A Matter of Fairness.

A few days since the announcement was made that some of the big Ameri- can land companies on the Colorado river delta had discharged all the Mexicans formerly employed and here- after would hire only Chinamen.
 Now it is claimed, apparently with facts to support the statement, that the uprising of the Mexicans on the delta is in retaliation and that the movement there has no relation to the general revolution in Mexico. One can only understand what feel ing the Mexicans must have in this case by imagining such an order to be issued on this side of the line, and no one can doubt if the farmers in I'm, peral valley would declare that they would discharge all Americans and hire all Chinamen there would be an uprising of laborers even in our peace ful valley.
 There is more than one class of own ershlp in land. The laws of every civilized country recognize that back of the private ownership of land there is secondary ownership that vests title in the whole people, and human nature recognizes this, no matter what degree of civilization. In other words, the people of every land instinctively feel that, under due regulation, every man is entitled to the right to make an honest living.
 For the natives of any country to be barred from this privilege that a wholly alien people can be planted in their places is such an act as would arouse antagonism in any country, civilized or otherwise.
 It may be that, measured solely by tke cold blooded proposition of getting the most labor at given wage, the Chinaman is to be preferred to the Mexican, but there can be no doubt that it would be mighty sight better for the interest. of this section if the American land owners on the delta would employ MeXicans and would adopt the plan of Ephes Randolph, given in this column yesterday. and make special effort to see that the men are given wholesome and abun- dant food and be taught to respect Americans as their friends, rather than oppressors.

The prime cost of 3 l-2 ton furnace is stated to be about 92200. The cleo. trical fittings for smelling furnaces are necessarily massive. while the use of electricity for smelling, whether the supply be taken from a corporation or from the users own power house. en- tails a considera ble use of distribu- ting cables.
 The increasing use of electricity for smelling purposes is being regarded very favorably as representing new field for the use of the medium, with it's attendant demands for copper and other metal fittings of substantial kind.

Octave Soon to be in Operation.

It is probable that the resumption of the Octave mines near Stanton will take place within a reasonably short time. according to advices received in Prescott during the past few days, which are verified by the filing for record of deed of trust which paves the way for securing financial assist ance for this purpose.
 The company has executed deed of trust to the International Trust Con- pany of Massachusetts to secure bond issue up to the sum of 800, ,000S to place the Octave on a firm financial founda- tion. H. c. Gibbs, the president, and D. P. Leas, the treasurer of the com pany, attest to the transaction which has been closed. Mr. Gibbs, while in Prescott a few months ago, stated that the financial affairs, incidental to be- ginning large line of development. were to be taken up for consideration in the cast on his return to Boston, which it now appears has been accom- plished.
 The Octave suspended several years ago and later went into bankruptcy proceedings. The property was legally sold under this action and purchased by Mir. Gibbs. who since acquiring ti- tie has pursued an energetic course to again place the property in an active state of operation on the judgment of mining engineers who have conducted a thorough exploration of underground conditions.
 The Octave has been the producer of the richest gold ores ever known in the state and in certain zones the free yield attained a fabulous tonnage val nation. A complete reduction plant is on the ground and every facility avail able to begin development.-Prescott Journal Miner.
