 Extent Of Mineral Zone.
 At the present stage Of development howeverh the Globe district has no less than thirty five mining companies with total capitalization of about S25OOOO,OOO and the annual produc- ton of copper from this belt runs well over 15O,OOO.0O0 pounds This output Of copper is being rapidly in- creased by the operation in Globe Miami mineral zone, about six miles southwest from Globe where an ore body estimated to be SO.OOO0OO tons is being developed by the great Miami and Inspiration Copper company.
 But while that part of GHa county lying around Globe holds forth every inducement Go homeseekers in way of active industry, in undeveloped re- sources. it would bring this part of Gila county injustice not to mention other than purely commercial attrac- tions which it has to offer

There game of many kinds is found in quantities to briug joy to sportsman. and streams abouudiug m salmon trout and other fish, These mountains are heavily timbered and forests whose virgin growth has never been assailed by the axes of lumber. men. The elevation is SO high that a cool and inyig0ratng atmosphere prevails even in the hottest season and mere description of scenery which the mountains afford could in no way do justice to the grandure and beauty that Dame Nature has fashioned The mountains are a fayorite resort for ArlzOnals m quest of recreation and freedom from the hot weather of some of southern valleys where the eIeya- tion is slight With increased popula- tion of cities of this state the forests of White Mountains would be a yerit- able Mecca for the yacationists The White Mountain Indian Reserve has an area of f00O square miles. lying in a part of Gua, Graham, Navajo and Apache counties
 So close to Globe that they almost overshadow the city are the beautiful Pinal Mountains to which parties of people in search of outings make trips year around These mountains are included in the Crook National Forest.

Shannon Company Has Great Prospects As Big Copper
 Producer

The past and present history of the properties Of the shannon Copper Company with the exception of it's holdings in the GIeeson district. Is closely linked to the history of the great properties Of Arizona Copper and Detroit Copper for these three companies holdings are closely adia- cent, Of similar nature and situated ta the ClItton-Morcnci-MetcaIf District. It has the beneht of the experience of the two larger producers in expIora- ton, in mining methods and m ore treatments.
 Though thus far not a great divl- dend payer, as Arizona copper produc- CTS go, shannon has produced up- wards of l75,OOOOOO pounds of ore which on a 15-cent basis would give a value of S1S,25O,OOO and it has in sight much more ore than has ever been taken from its holdings At l5-cent copper it is able to produce at a profit of 4 cents per pound and the prevailing price for the first seven months of this year enabled it to ope- rate still more prohtably It has handsome reserve fund and with the settlement of the labor troubles, that

THE TRANsYLYANIA SAFE.

A sigh of relief was heard when news
came of the safe arrival of the Transyi-
vania in British port, and not the least
noticeable was the sigh from Americans.
Had the Pennsylvania met the same fate
as the Lllsitania. or even had the Tran
sylvania been attacked, our whole peace
full proposition to Germany would have
been kicked over at one stroke and this
country would have been face to face
with crisis such as it has not had since
the Civil war. SO there was real relief
when word came that the ship under
Cunard orders was in a British port. To
be sure, the Pennsylvania had to change
its course to avoid the possible pitfalls
along the southern coast Of Ireland and
thus there was slight bending of the rig
orous persistence of the British plan OF

was averted at a time when international
are most delicately balanced
and it was worth while TO make some
slight concession in order to secure free-
lom from that complication.

the same orchard when its autumn offer

"His Excellency."

The truth is "his excelIency" is as far
removed from the spirit of our lnstltu'
| tions as would be his majesty This
grace" or his high mightiness." New
York Sun.
The occasion for that outburst IS fur
nished by one of the state regents Of
New York state, who in recent official
communication spoke of Gov. Whitman
as "his excellency." The title is not le-
gal in that state, and so its use is an
affection worthy of rebuke. Not so in
Massachusetts,. where the governor will
remain "his excellency' until the end of
the chapter. As our state constitution
generously expresses it,
There shall be a supreme executive
magistrate, who shall be styled the gov
ernor of the commonwealth, and whose
title shall be his excellency."
"IIis excelIency" is a survival from
colonial days, but no constitutional con-
vention is ever likely TO assume the re-
sponsibilty for cutting il out. No gov
ernor's proclamation would seem COM
plete without it, and so his excellency"
will stand as a link with the old days of
wigs and three-cornered hats. IL is
harmless, picturesque, and will ever pur-
sue our governors, whether good, bad, or
Indifferent,
Not even Gov Benjamin +. Butler, the
iconoclast, assailed the old form of ad-
dress, while rolling supreme executive
magistrate as sweet morsel under his
tongue. Governors of sense and modera-
ton have simply lodged the title all
they could-but il sticks and will per-
sist, just as will the impressive ceremony
by which our governors are inaugurated.
In these things, the dignity Of ancient
days survives, spd that is well in n time
when informality has become rather |
more Of vice than virtue. Nor is there |
any conflict with "thc spirit OF our in
