SILVER MAY REACH WONDER FIGURE

The Arizona Mining Journal for June contains article based on figures prepared by eastern financial journal and which is interesting reading to miners of s yer
 ''ShOud the white metal reach the hitherto mIos- sible sum of $O per oce all of the silver in the vaults of all the banks m the world not to mention that stored m government trcaSures and trade vaults would not be enough to redeem the unsecured issues of paper money This socacd money is today practically valueless in n tcatonal trade and Is fast losing what little value It cncc possessed in thc country of its issue
 At the same time China Inlia and other Oriental countries are selling vastly more goods than n tormc" times at prices much larger per unit and are demanding III payment for their goods unccaSing flow of silver
 Tt is not astonishing therefore that of vision and wise experience in the mining world turn ing their thoughts to the production of silver and of unprecedented prosperity before them. They re gard the possession of silver fine guarantee of a most lmitlcs> wealth for years to and that cond- tion today for the great activity around the old properties which practically vaueess in days past but which under greatly improved methods of mining and better transportation facilities give great promise of developing into mines of real worth.
 The Oriental countries have always been the largest market for silver. Before the this supply bought through London. but since the great conflict much of this supply has been purchased in New York; These countries today prepared to absorb all of the silver that be produced and the Indian and Chinese exporters constantly adding to the balance due them from the merchants of the west.
 In addition to this. if exchange is to he restored to anything approximate to normal the unsecured or un backed paper money of Europe must be validated Enough silver to validate these issues cannot he mined in years.
 Commenting on the present situation and the con stanty rising market for silver. financial authority said recently Ut is longer possible for any of the worlds nations to buy silver for coinage except the Uni ted States unless they dcbaSc their standard cons n Stituting system in which the coins will contain little of the white metal that il will not be profitable to melt thcm.''
 Thus the great and growing demand of riches cvcy dreamed by the miners of silver in the United States this country and Mexico together supply nearly three quarters of the worlds entire production of the metal

ANOTHER MILESTONE

Another advance in the realization of Coclise county development made yesterday when the packers of the Charleston Dam project met with the Board of Su pervsors to arrange with the board regarding the call

 1t was pleasing to all concerned to that the pro- tests resolved themselves down into those of lands that were fairly entitled to exemption. and now the way is clear for the next step It will carry beyond question when the vote on the proposed irrigation district is cast
 Engineer Elliott. of the Salt River Valley Water Users association gave very valuable information at the

 Few people outside of those directly interested in the project realize what 1t means to Cochse county It's success means fixed supply of almost everything tha: we get ill the way of vegetables and grains and fruits from the California markets and fixes definite home market for the producers because of the fact that Doug las and the Warren district be supplied the good roads now have and are building within few hours. The many edbleS that will be raised under the Charleston Dam project will be picked and served the table within twentyfour hours. From the way dairy cattle are being brought into the valley, butter and cheese will be further output along with the vegetables and kindred market stuff.

Why the Sl0 passport charge on travel to Mexico Such charge imposed travel to other countries.

RECALL THESE PETITIONS
(AriZona Gazettc)

For number of excellent reasons the Gazette is convinced that circulation of petitions to initiate mea- surcs to create state highway commission and for a bonded indebtedness to permit the issue of some thirty millions of dollars in bonds for highways is wise at this time.
 Looking at the matter from the standpoint of Phoc nix and Marcopa county first-and this newspaper be- levcs that its first duty is to the community from which it draws its vingt to the Gazette that this is not the proper time for increasing the state debt and consequently the county debt
 Maricopa county already has big contract on hand
 the building of 300 miles of roads. Since this program was mapped out prices of material and labor have increased until it is deemed necessary to spend $450O0O0 in Maricopa county than originally timated in order to complete and extend this program Saddng of additional debt upon the taxpayers might result in the failure of the whole program The farmer the property owner, the taxpayer already is carrying maximum load and this additional imrost might prove the proverbial "last straw"
 There other excellent reasons why the Gazette believes the petitions should be recalled but the stated should be sufficient.

THE HONOR OF THE PRESS

Again it has been clearly demonstrated that there is such thing the honor of the press
 The latter part of last week Deputy Sheriff H. J Paterson of Patagonia arrested Mexican by name of Jesus Maria Baboa, suspicion of possible connection with the murder of Mr. and Mrs Jacob Erhardt. aged Phoenix couple, which crime shocked the entire state and brought forth of indignation.
 The suspect was taken to NogaeS, and connunca- ton with the sheriffs office of Maricopa county revealed the fact that the murderer had been apprchd ed in the person of Barboa.
 Had this fact became known it is probable Barboa would never have reached the protecting walls of the state prison at Florence.
 Sheriff Earhardt, of Santa Cruz county. requested that no mention be made of the capture at that time or until such time the prisoner could be placed in safe keeping He was taken Phoenix where he confessed to the officers and reacted the horrible crime the very scene where it committed
 Before the public at large was informed of the cap ture of the Erhardt murderer he safely behind the walls of the state prison
 To the Nogales Herald credit is due. In the face of an opportunity scoop the entire state the biggest local interest story of the day that paper placed honor before enterprise and withheld the story from publca tiOn. -
 Just another convincing example of the honor of the press

SAN FRANCISCO. June 30.-Mrs. B. J. Mckinney of Tucson. was elect ed by the Arizona delegatoin to be the Arizona member on the Demo rra,ic National committee. MT. and Mrs. Mckinney are pioneers of Ari- zona and especially well known in Tombstone and Cochise county.
 The first poll of the Arizona dele gates. taken this morning, before tn ? receipt of instructions from the east regarding the placing the name of McAdoo before the convention, show. ed votes for McAdoo and 1 for Cox.

this morning, it was understood that the Arizona delegation would stand 5 for McAdoo and i for Cox. Cox is the second choice of the Arizona dele aation, while it's dark horse choice has not as yet been announced.
 The report of the committee on plat form will be the important event of todsy.
 Rryan's dry plank only received 12 votes in full committee. He is ex- peeted to fight for this plank before the committee late today, but it is almost certain that the platform will ae solid for prohibition.
 The McAdoo demonstration yester- day was the longest and the most spectacular, but opinion now is that he will be unable to win. Hundreds of federal officials, from cabinet mem bers 10 postmasters, are here whis perins up the McAdoo boom.
 saIo.ting may be reached late this afternoon, but if the platform battle is long, then balIottins Will go over until tomorrew.
 now predict that McAdoo will fail, but who vii win is unseen at this time.
 Friends Of Bryan and his dry plank say that the cor'roner will make the greatest effort of his lifetime in his speech today.
 The many ladies who have spoken in behalf of their favorite candidates in secondins speeches have been aiv- en much applause.
 When Oregon was reached this morning in the call of states, an 'o~ ~''~e'"Sht was naoe t'dt the SFc- aon delegation was instructed for Me Adoo and was joining the effort 10 draft him ss a candidate.
 The Arizona delegation conferred this morning on a choice among the possible dark horses, and there was disclosed firm support fer Cummings.
 There is much to suggest Cummings as a dark horse winner among these with cnly small support on the first ballet.

Sidelights on the Democratic Convention

posed legislation to aid education by strengthening the position of school teachers and instructors was also asked by the committee.
 An organization of western states to push the reclamation plank to the front was formed last night at q ! banquet given by the California del. egation.
 Governor Stewart, of Montana was elected president, Judge s. Ballinger, secretary and W. W. Pace, chairman of the executive committee. Both ] the latter are Arizona men.
 The subcommittee named to draf. the reclamation plank was composed of Judge Wall R. King, of oregon. Judge $. Ballinger, of Arizona. and r. McCumbers, of the Hawaiian Is- lands.

 The administration element COZ irois the platform committee, which iasures the unqualified endorsement. of the League of Nations and the prohibition question.
 If Bryan carries his bore-dry plank to the body of the committee, it :5 doomed to defeat;
 Reservations for the Arizona dele gates were made at an obscure ho- tel with the result that very few O.. the delegates from Arizona are stop ping there. All conferences are be ing held in the room of Fred Colte: at the Palace hotel.
 Last night the first McAdoo badge was displayed Shortly thereafter hundreds appeared in the prominent hotel lobbies.
 Marching columns were formed for parades in the streets and in the ho- tel lobbies
 It is now said that the aiministra- ton leaders will undertake the nom ination of McAdoo, which would mean that the Democrats must stand for every prominent feature Of the Will son administration.
 There is no sign of i'll feeling among the friends Of the various candidates The many.sidei fight is proceeding in a spiri, of good hu- nor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 30. The Democratic National Con- Vention convened in the Auditorium at 1l:3o this morning. The big hall was damned to capacity and the program outlined for the day consisted of the nominating speeches.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. July .

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July D. lt is hardly possible that bsIiottins wilt be reached at the Democratic convention today as the fight be- ing made by William Jennings Bryan in behalf Of his bone-dry pIank bids fair 10 be the most im- portant event and take up most of the day.
 The struggle over the disputed rlanss in the platform is 10 be end ed before the body Of the conven- ton today, and baIloting is not ex. pected before tomorrow morning.
 t is certain that the adrinistrs- ton forces have their own way abou, the League Of Nations and all other matters except the disposi- ton of the wet and dry plank.
 Bryan continues to assert that he will offer the convention his bone dry plank. the enc which was de- nied hin, by the committee on plat form. The prevailing opinion last night was that eryan's prohibition plank would carry. It would not f the delegates could be depended up- on to vote their individual desires, but this action cannot be relied up. on. and it's passage is looked for in the same manner that Congress was browbeaten into submission on the 1eth amendment by prohibi- tion lobby.
 This convention is under at least threatening influences and the deie. gates are afraid to vote their true sentiments.
 if Bryan wins with his bone-dry plank, he will emerge from his three day struggle over prohibition as the one hero of the convention. while the forces Who have opposed his autocratic rule will be more or less chasrined.
