much agitated. Hundreds Of people are

mine near here which was recently exam

MIR. BLAINE IN THE RING.
He VIII BE IL Candidate for the Presi
dency in 1899.

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE CORE
spondent here of the Globe Democrat has
sent his paper the following special dis
patch:
Games q. Blaine will be a candidate
for the Republican nomination in 1892
This is ST. ted upon authority which, if it
could be given, would be at once recog-
nized as entitled to evidence. For the
past year Mr.. Blaine's health has steadily
improved. The secretary is now satisfied
that there is no chronic ailment to stand
in the way of his political plans. He feels
that he is good for eight or ten years more
of active life, and that he can safely look
forward to presidential campaign and
presidential term.
1.-TWO years ago Mr.. Blaine took des-
pondent view of his physical condition.
Travel and rest in foreign lands had failed
entirely to do work of recnperation which
he anticipated. He came back to the
Quilted States, went into the campaign
and, carefully feeling his way, did what
he thought his powers would stand. He
experienced no i'll effect. Then he entered
upon his secretaryship. At first he had
some misgivings and talked of staying
only year or two at the head of the de-
partment. But gradually strength has re-
turned and with it the old time elasticity
of spirit. Mr. Blaine has found that he
is far better off in active public life than
in retirement. He is pleased immensely
with the change which has come upon
him. The old languor and indiffence
have gone. Tbe Blaine of to-day is the
Blaine of six years ago in ambition and in
hope. The secretary knows that his most
intimate friends have began to plan for
1892, and he does not forbid them. He
listens and is interested. With the con-
tinuence of his present improved health
he will be candidate for the nomiuatlon.
1t is better to say he is now candidate
with only the usual contingency-uncer-
,aiDtv of life -

Of Her Claims.

PHGNIx, A. T., Dec, l7.--At meeting
of the chamber of commerce here last
night a petition to be sent to members of
the U. S, senate and house of representa-
tives praying for admission of Arizona
into the union, was unanimously y adopted.
1t sets forth that the time has arrived
when this territory should be admitted
into the union upon equality with the
states that Arizona has population Of
more than 100 900 and property OF cash
value Of more than $75 900 900, which is
assessed for $27 600 900. That this terri
tory has, covered by lrrigating canals,
$50, 900 acres Of land, besides large area
of land that requires no irrigation. That
there is annually cultivated 400 900 acres
of land. That within the territory is
about %, 900 square miles of lumber for
ests, salt and petroleum wells, coal depo-
sits, copper, gold and silver mines, q great
body of grazing land and 5 600, 900 or g.
900, 900 of arid land that, under judicial
system of irrigation and water storage,
can be reclaimed to cultivation. That the
annual products aggregate $23 200, 900, of
which $l3,OOO.OO0 are exported. And
that the population and taxable wealth is
increasing at the rate OF fully 10 per cent
per annum. Also that Arizona has pres
ent wealth and population sufficient to
justify her in assuming the responsibilities
OF statehood, with all the latent resources
that in short time will make her one OF
the richest and most prosperous common.
wealths of the nation.
