He eontcnded that the Repu6li- cans and Progressiyes had done as much for the passage of pro gressivo Alaska Legislation as the Dem ocrats had done. and he never tired of impressing upon audiences that the administration was not the whole cheese In at least two places he
 aid outright that he was Republican At the same time certain newspapers that were supporting him and attempt ing Go induce Democrats to support him said cmphadcally that the Dele. eate was a Democrat and had so de- clared And 1t Is admitted. that the uttorancos of the Delegate since elec- don and up Co the time or his recent Juneau speech indicated that the sub seQuent acts of the Delegate would probably justify their claims. The Del- egate never quite reached che mark. He treated his politics like he treat ed the question of full Territorial form of government Almost he would say it. but always there was

The Delegate has never burn ed his bridges behind him OR Ques. ions where measures or policies or politics are concerned He all but said. however that inc was a Demo. crat and did say that he was for "lull Territorial form or government but whole collection of "buts' and 'iis' and qualifications have been securely set SO lhey would serve os supports for the hasty construction of bridge over which to retreat

zation. welcomed the prospect of fighting at the primaries next year for the possession of the Democratic organization under the shlful leader ship of the Delegate, who has thus far proved himself a master politician at least insofar as keeping himself on the winning side of things is concern ed. Preparations went forth merrily until the arrival of the Delegate.
 In the meanwhile. even contempor- aneously with the formulation of these plans. 1t was whispered around among Wickersham Republicans that it might be well to prepare, also, for the cap ture of the Republican organization in Alaska. Overtures were made through certain Wickcrsham Republicans, to members of the "Old Guard" leaders of the so.called "standpat' element of Che Republican party looking to the arrangement of treaty of peace, and the adoption of a working agreement that would permit Wickersham Go pull in harness with associates Of old, the men with whom he worked and agreed in the days that he was writing let- ters tn opposition to selfgovernment for Alaska and writing commission bins for the government of the leui- tory
 lt is said chat the longer the Dele gate remained in mneau the better the Republican side of the game looked to him Those who believe that he was almost if not quite persuaded that the Republican party offered him his 1916 opportunity say chat this was what was in his mind when he pro- claimed himself an independent Re. publican" In support of this theory is the further circumstance that in speaking Of the Alaska railroad he tool, an the credit to himself and omitted che praise that he at times has be. slowed upon President Wilson and Secretary Of the Interior Lane
 Yet. those who hold to this theory agree that the Delegates present plans are only tentative and subject to change They point to the qualifying word "independent,' which he attach es to his Ropublicanism, as a bridge that would carry him back to Dem ocracy in case the prospects of Re- publican success should not become brighter as the time for the next Pres idental election draws nearer.

 Delegate James Wickershom made a most significant declaration in his speech al Juneau that did not escape the notice Of those who are in touch with the drift of under currents in tho political whirlpool Chat surged about the Second Alaska Legislature. ~I AM AN INDEPENDENT REPUBs LICAN.9 said Delegate Wickersham, and many of those who are watching proceedings believe chat he had the future in mind rather thon the past or present
 The significance of the declaration is more apparent when it i5 consid. cred in. connection with tbo fact that there Is well defined movement on among the Wickershom people to cap ture the Republican organization in Alaska next year ltis said that since the declaration of Delegate Wicker sham at Seattle thnt he was elected to Congress on the Progressive Dem ocratic ticket last fail, statement which he reiterated at g committee hearing at Washington and which was printed in the record Of the hearing the Delegate has permitted himself to become convinced that there is a biz chance chat the Republicans Will carry the next election. and he is preparing the way Go become 9 Republican again if it shall appear htrie later that that party might come into power.
 While during all of the 'ime that he has posed as the special champion of the Democratic administration the Delegate has refrained from deciorins himself in on Democracy. He has said that he is a Wilson Progressive and he has said on the occasions re- ferred to that he was elected on the progressive Democratic ticket From some source publishers of Congress sional directories had secured niof- nation that the Delcgate was Denl' ocrat. and be was SO listed by tHe New York World almanac and othet authorities That he was preparing to profit by the continued Democratic success was further evidenced by the well defined movement that was siarl- ed last fall. almost immediately after che election and which continued up Co late date to capture the Demo. cratic organization in Alaska for nm.
 The day the Delegate arrived in Juneau he declared Co a representative of The Empire that he stood for a 'lul Territorial form" of government, and. inasmuch as both the Democratic plat form adopted at Skagway and the Progressive Democratic platform adopted at Valdez had declared for "full Territorial form of government 1t was thought chat the Delegate st''l bad the capture of the Democratic or eanizatiou In his mind

Visits Molybdenite Mines.

Henry E. Woods, the well known metallurgist of Denver, in company of R. c. Jacobson and Anson H. Smith, visited the Copper Canyon mines last Saturday. Mir. Woods is on the look out for molybdenite ores and while at the mines made arrangements to buy a large tonnage of the ores from the diff ferent properties. He is said to have contracts for about eighty per cent of the metal used in the United States, and while the supply is small, expects by offering fancy prices for it to gradu- ally awaken interest in the development of the various mines of this section. At the Copper Wonder No. mine there has been encountered about six feet of excellent ore, some rather free from copper, but the balance carrying from two to ten per cent of the red metal.
 At the Whale mine excavation has just been completed for the installation of a hoisting plant. At that point a shaft was sunk to depth of 30 feet two years ago and this shaft is to be continued down to 100 or 200 feet, from the bottom of which drifts will be carried into the large ore bodies opened to the north and south. Along the vein to the south the adit drift has been carried to a length of 230 feet, practically all in copper and molybde- nite ore. The company operating the mines has placed MT. Jacobson in charge of the property, J. w. Corne- lius being the superintendent.
 Molybdenite ore is to be assorted from the large dumps as well as stop ing the big reserves in the drift. Practically all the ore in the first S5 feet of drift will run better than ten per cent, and for this grade a price of 42. 5O$ on the mine is to be paid. As the per centage runs upward the price per pound also increases, and it pays to make high grade product at the mine. Mir. Woods has method of separation by which he makes a product of from eighty to ninety per cent concentrate no matter how low grade the raw ores may be.

The Law and the Warden.

Shall the law govern in Arizona? is just now being asked by many right thinking people, as result of the re- fusal of the Warden of the State peni- tentiary to hang a man who was sen- fenced to death by the court. Warden Sims may be a most humane fellow, but by what right does he take it on himself to turn down mandate of the courts. Ramon Villalobo was tried by a jury for the murder of white man, and being found guilty was sentenced to death. He was reprieved with thirteen or fourteen others by Gov. Hunt, and when the governor commuted nearly all the other sentences, Villalobo failed to get the governors eye, and it only remained for the warden to carry out the mandate of the court. This he refused to do, setting up as a reason that the State board of pardons had not yet been appointed aud could not pass on the merits of the case. MT. Sims did not consider that conrt and jury was sufficient to pass upon murderer S case, but that he alone should be the court of last resort.
 This action leaves in Arizona a most remarkable condition. First the appeals to the people to save the necks of fourteen or fifteen murderers, await ing death in the pen, and when the people refuse clemency, he takes it up- on himself to commute the sentences on all sorts of pretenses. And when the governor apparently overlooked one of these cold blooded murderers his man Sims virtually reprieves the man. And why should the legislature allow this state of affairs to exist. If a warden can reprieve convicted murderer, why cannot the sheriffs of the various counties refuse to carry out the man. date of the courts or to perform the duties imposed on them by virtue of their offices.
 Prior to the election it was said that should Gov. Hunt pardon or commute the sentences of any of the murderers in the pen, then under sentence of death, petition for his recall would be immediately circulated. We want no governor Blease in Arizona, and we be- ieve the criminal laws of the state should be enforced against capital crimes.

A number of auto tourists passed through Kingman the past few weeks and have reported in Los Angeles that the roads through Mohave county are ideal, surpassing any roads in the west. This is quite boost for the good work done by the old board of supervisors and the engineer and road overseer, as well as the boosting of the Mohave County Good Road Association. It is now up to the Association and the coun- ty dads to keep this good work going until all sections of the county, where the need for roads is apparent, have been covered by connecting links of good roads. Mohave county has the ability to build roads and there should be no let up.

The Legislature Convenes.

The fourth session Of the Arizona State legislature met in Phoenix last Monday and Senator Sims of Cochise county was elected president of the senate and representative Brooks, of Gila county was elected speaker of the house.
 Mohave gets one clerkship, Mrs. I. N. Hart being selected to one of these positions.
 Senator Lovin was made chairman of the Military and Public Defense and is member of number of important committees.
 Representative Mahoney is a member of the committees of labor, mines and mining, constitutional amendments, public health and statistics.
 The first bill introduced was an ap- propriation bill providing for the ex- pense of the legislature.
 The second bill was by Karns of Santa Cruz county, requiring litigants in the Superior courts to pay all jury and other costs in civil causes.
 The third bill was that of Campbell, of Coconino, memorializing congress to appropriate at least 300, ,00O$ for.the de- struction of wild animals that prey on live stock. And another by the same senator would have the railroads re- move the hides from all animals killed by the trains, bundle them up and pre- serve them for at least sixty days to the order of the owners, and display a bulletin at the nearest railroad station to the place where the killing of the animals occurred, of the brands, owner ship, etc., of the animal. This would be an excellent proposition for the cattlemen, but it would appear to us that it would be somewhat out of reason to require poor navvy on the railroad to remove the hide from a car cass. If this line of reasoning held good the stockmen would soon require the general government to provide IllSIl WILL Slei9o anu NdISL Ou IIiG public ranges and guarantee them against loss from drouth and lack of feed.
 Gov. Hunts message to the legisla- ture is not so long, but it is pregnant with socialistic, or what is commonly supposed to be socialistic, doctrine. He deplores the failure of the eighty per cent law and hopes that all the measures that failed at the last elec- tion of this nature will be taken up by the legislative body and brought to happy legislative fruition. Now, we have believed that Gov. Hunt was honest in his opinion on all subjects and that he would be equally honest with the people should they turn down some of his pet hobbies, but in this he has failed. When the people said that he should be divested of the power to re- prieve murderers, he immediately, and before making proclamation, ,reprieved some of the most cold blooded murder CTS the State has ever had to deal with. If we are to have socialism let us have it under that name, but if we are to have a democratic form of government, for the Lord sake let us have it. The people of the State have been catering to interists inimical to the welfare of State, and now let us throw off the yoke and come out in the open and either stand for it's well being or let it go to the boWwows.
