statehood Convention.

Pursuant to call the statehood con vention assembled in the opera house at Phoenix, on Monday morning. The assemblage was called to order by Judge Webster Street of Ph9nix, who placed in nomination for temporary chairman Hon. F.. J.iEdwards of Gila county. The nomination was made unanimous, and Judge Edwards was escorted to the chair. MT. Charles W. Hoff of Pima county, was elected tenn porary secretary.
 After creating the usual committees on credentials and organization the convention took a recess until after noon, when the committee on creden tials reported Apache county repre- sented by proxies held by Ex-Go vernon Murphy and Frank Cox of Phoenix, and the other counties by strong work ing delegations, except Mohaye and Yayapai, whose delegations had not yet appeared. A telegram from the Yavapai delegation was submitted q to the convention, asking adjournment to the second Monday in January. The report of the committee was adopted. The proposition of the Yayapai dele gati0n was then taken up, and after getting into parliamentary tangle and out of it again, the matter was referred to one of the permanent com mittees when it should be constituted.
 The committee on permanent organ ization reported Hon. c. W. Wright of Pima county for permanent chairman, and c. w Hoff, likewise of Pima, for permanent secretary. This partiality to Pima afterward received sarcastic allusion in motion by Mir. Wander worker of Yuma, to amend the mo- tlon for a committee on resolutions by limiting it's membership to Pima Co. Whenever an opportunity presented MT. V. renewed this motion to amend, to the annoyance of the Pima delega- tion and the amusement of those who perceived the drift. MT. Wright was escorted to the chair, on taking which he made felicitous speech which was roundly applauded,
 Committees on resolutions and per manent work were created, after which the convention adjourned to Tuesday afternoon, to enable the committees to perfect their work. and to show the visiting delegations about the valley.
 Monday evening THE OASIS man was called home by sickness in his family, and of the further proceedings of the convention he was not witness. In the first days proceedings, he will re- mark, however, that it was patent the Gazette faction controlled the democratic end of the convention, and and were running it to suit their own ends, Wbatever they may be. and which very likely will not come to tine sur face this side of Washington. Having nothing to loseor gain in the matter the republicans offered little or no op- position to the active, organized force that was running things, "lt wasn't their funeral"

coalin cochIse County.

Tine Citizen states that pr. Theo E. Comstock, president of the university faculty and director of the Arizona school of mines, returned to Tucson Monday evening from most import act geological investigation of the Chi ricahua mountains in Cochise county.
 The results of this trip may be of remarkable commercial value to Ari- zona, for Dr. Comstock returned with unmistakable evidence of the existence of bed of coal five or six feet in thick ness. in situation which leaves no doubt of it's close relation to the an- fhracite of Pennsylvania. Analyses are being mlde in the labratory of the school of mines, and tests already made of the fuel qualities Of this coal have proved highly satisfactory

Timber or Stone Lands.

Now that Idaho has become one
of the public land states" as deiin-
ed by the circular of the federal
land office, and since also, the
passage of ian act to authorize the
entry of land chiefly valuable for
building stone under tho placer
mining laws" approved on August
4, 1892, the timber and stone re-
serves of Idaho county will even
tually become a chief source of
wealth among us. Tho surprising
part is that so little interest is ta-
ken in this method of obtaining
title to land. for the cost is very
light and the benefits to be derived
very great in proportion. Follow
ing are some of the main sections
in the circular as furnished to the
registrars and receivers of local
land officers:
2. The land must be valuable
chiefly for timber Tor stone) and
unfit for cultivation if tho timber
were removed.
8. 1t must be unoffered, unreserv-
ed, unappropriated and uninhabit-

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The Grangeville Roller Mills are
about completed and operations
will begin on Tuesday, Feb. IA.
The season of the year is not favor
able to start a new mill, but efforts
will be made to overcome any and
all difficulties.
Let it be known by all persons
that the proprietor has framed rules
which are business-like and strait
forward, and consequently insure
honest treatment to everybody.
Farmers will be entitled to the BEN
eft of their product by exchanging
wheat for flour, bran and shorts for
their own individual use. could
not enter into any proposition or
agreement with any one farmer to
exchange more than for his own use,
on the basis of 100 Tbs of flour for
three bushels of No. l wheat in
their own sacks, and 7 Tbs of bran
per bushel. For wheat which is not
No. l it will be correspondingly
less. This offer is, as everyone
knows, a very liberal one, and was
never offered before in this country
and | trust that it will meet uni
versal satisfaction among all the
farmers. All wheat / may need,
and farmers have to sell, l will buy
and pay the cash for.
My dealings with merchants will
be in buying and selling only. II
must be borne in mind that l have
invested thousands of dollars to
build a mill of which everyone il
the county has good reason to bt
proud, for the product of the mil
will speak for itself, and every hon
est man will admit that / am .justl,
entitled to the benefits that may b.
derived from it. l will furthe
state that l am practical mile
of lifelong experience and will Ope
rate the mill and transact all bust
ness myself, as l have no partner
to ask for their consent or advice
consequently, everyone who want
to deal with the mill, and wher
one can find out all about what h
wants to know are most cordial
invited to see me. Respectfully,

As to the .SeUen DeUiis.

Allison, of Washington, intro
duced a bill to better define the
boundary line of the county he
represents. Twelve years ago the
legislature created Washington
county. Two years ago a law was
enacted taking off large portion
of the county and placing it in
Idado county, leaving the famous
Seven Devils mining camp in the
latter county. Mr.. Allison's bill is
practically re-enactment of the
law passed twelve years ago, and
defines the boundary lines of the
county as they existed prior to the
first session of the state legislature.
Senator Morris telegrafed us for
remonstrances when the bill was
introduced last Saturday, but the
matter is not of overwhelming inn
portance. The boundary lines were
last changed by the Washington
county delegation themselves; they
voluntarily gave us the territory
which includes the Seven Devils
and we do not see how they can
with propriety, ask us to re-sur'
render them, especially as we went
to. the trouble and expense of al
official survey to establish our title
to the territory in question. W.
cannot go on year after year sur
veying boundaries in order that
our neighbors can get them chang
ed at the next Legislative session

BOISE, IDAHO, FEB. 2, 1898.
FRIEND PARKER Il desire to
write about Opals. We are having
considerable quiet excitement about
them in this section just now. They
have been found mostly on the 9TH
+er side of Snake river, a short dist
ance back from the river. The for
nation is the common basaltic rock
of the country. There is a great
deal of the opaline material that is
not opal. 1t is the common .jaspery
quartz found everywhere in basalt.
l have seen it about Mt Idaho and
elsewhere on the Prairie. The To-
calitics thereabouts are worth look
ing up, for there may be. and most
always are, valuable Opals in it, or
along with it. There is a move
ment on foot now to ascertain if
the more common material is not
of value for buttons, cheap jewelry
and ornamental work. 1t might be
well to look over your section with
the same object
The legislature moves along fair
ly well. The road bill passed the
house yesterday. AS amended, it

the Little Salmon piece. This robs
it of every vital part as it seems to
me. The State cannot afford to
build parallel roads so near togeth-
err. The argument in favor of State
aid is the opening up new and diff
cult or inaccessible sections o f
country. None of the sections of
road now included are of this char
acter. Still, it would hardly become
me to publicly oppose it,and l think
the bill will pass.
