ALIVE TO THE OPPORTUNITY.

Judging from the activity being display ed in mining circles in this district at present the year 1917 promises to be the banner year for development of outside properties mean ing those held by small owners as distinguish ed from the property owned and operated by the three large producing companies.
 As compared with the other rich mining districts in the state the Clifton Morenci dis trict has been dormant for the past few years, as regards independent operations and de- velopment, but the evidence is at hand to show that mining men intend to take hold this year in an earnest endeavor to bring in additional producers
 It is not reasonable to suppose that all the rich mineral bearing ground in this great district is controlled or owned by the three large companies, at present producing but yet this seems to have been the prevailing opinion. The same opinion prevailed in Bisbee in 1900 before the advent of the C. & A. crowd; the same opinion prevailed in Jerome before the development of the Verde Extension; that was the opinion in the Globe district in the early days of the Old Dominion and United Globe. But during the past sixteen years, we have witnessed the bringing in of big and rich properties in

THE LEGISLATURE.

Under the apparently smiling surface of things attending the opening or partial open ing of the third legislature yesterday there was great deal of wrangling. Though the margin of the conservatives was not over whelming they are in a decisive majority in the senate and probably so in the house.
 It is .creditable to both elements that there was no disposition further to compli- cate the gubernatorial muddle, but on tile contrary an evident determination to ignore it.
 Judging from the personal appearances of the members the legislature Is of higher grade or higher average than either the first or the second and we believe there will be less of pickering and playing for factional advan- tage than distinguished both of those bodies.
 The organization of the legislature did not go to the extent of disclosing whether or not it will indulge in the reckless extrava- gances of its predecessors in filling the chamb- CTS and committee rooms with attaches with out regard to the need of them, or their capa- city to perform useful service.
 Legislatures usually do not make such disclosures all at once for day or two there is a pretense at economy and then, one by one, clerks are added almost surreptitiously until the list far exceeds the list of the members.
 We hope the present legislature will so set itself agalnsr this practice and VII employ only needed attaches and such as are really efht tent. If this is done we do not think any future legislation will revert to the old prac- ticc, and the third legislature will go down in history as the point at which a great re- form was made.-Republican

those dist icts never dreamed of before. And wbv ehd,la not history repeat itself in the e..at Clfftor rf7S-renci district?
 Thert, room for the stock jobber or .swild-catter'' in this district and they are not wanted, but every mining man who comes into the district for the purpose of in telligently and scientifically developing new properties can depend upon the encourage ment and assistance of the business communi- ty. @ ~!i .l>I 2alli.,

We congratulate Hon. David C1aridge, Democrats of the state senate on his election as president of that body. MT.

We respectfully suggest to the represen- tatives in the Legislature from Greenlee and Graham counties that they enter into caucas in an endeavor to find a remedy for the e1l- travagant cost of county government in these two counties A bill could be introduced that would save the taxpayers of these two counties at least ten thousand dollars year

THE GUBERNAToRIAL SITUATION.

 5- For thirteen days the State of Arizona has been w;thout Governor and the Legisla- lature which convened on Monday last has been marking time and adjourning from day to day awaiting the decision of the court in the mandamus proceedings brought by Tom Campbell, the Republican candidate in the recent election, to compel Governor Hunt to give him possession of the archives and records of the office of the Chief Executive. A decision in the mandamus proceedings is expected tomorrow, Or at the latest on Mon day, and Phoenix forecast of the decision says that the Supreme court will issue the mandamus and place Tom Campbell in the Governors office, clothed with full author ity to execute the laws of the state until such time as the election contest suit has been de- cided
 The contest case has been set for trial in the Superior Court of Maricopa county on January 25th Tn the meantime the Repub- lican and Democratic managers of the late state campaign are claiming the legal election of their respective candidates for the office of Governor and both sides are able to produce the figures to prove their contention It IS plainly apparent that until decision has . been rendered in the contest proceedings al ready instituted the question of who was le- ga1ly elected Governor of Arizona at the No vember election remains unanswered
 At a meeting of the Democratic Execu- tive Committee for the state at Phoenix this week the committee pledged it's unqualified support and endorsement of the contest in- stituted by the late Democratic candidate. From a party standpoint the committee was 11erfec1v justified in the action taken Cover nor Hunt was the nominee of the Democratic party in the September primaries, receiving the nomination by the substantial majority of more than 5000, notwithstanding the fact that probably forty per cent of the Repub- licans of the state participated in the demo- cratic primaries in an organized effort to de- feat him for the nomination During the campaign the Democratic Committee support ed Governor Hunt enthusiastically and 1t IS only natural and proper that this committee should continue to give its support and en- dorsement to the Democratic candidate so long as there IS a question of doubt regarding the legal election of his political opponent. In our opinion Governor Hunt IS perfectly justified, on the face of the returns in institu~ ting the election contest, and carrying the contest to the highest tribunal i'll the state for decision. If 1t can be shown to the satsfac- tion of the Supreme Court that he was legally elected Governor last November, Governor Hunt Is entitled to hold the office. We are equally confident that if the returns had shown a like narrow margin in favor of Governor Hunt our Republican friends would have pursued a similar course. Let the courts decide. The people of the state are willing to abide by the decision.
