ARIZONA'S STATEHOOD.
Our Delegate Makes a Hard Fight But Things Don't
 Look Favorable.

According to an Associated Press dispatch frem Washington yesterlays meeting oi the House Committee on Territories was devoted to a discussion of the Arizona and New Mexico stste- hood bills. No vote WAS taken. Del eEates Murphy and Ca,rop asserted that tho opponents of statehood were doing their ,alkirg merely as filibus- tsrng move. Consequently the meet ing was rather 8 warm one. The two delegates Sxeried their sndeavors to induce the committee 10 vote and re- fused te be drawn into the debate, although the opponents of statehood asked them many questions.
 Taft, during the di-cussion, declared that congress could net blind its eyes to the fact that that d mission oi ,iie.e two territories would add four votes for free silver ts the senate. He ar gusd that it was not fair that existing statutes shorld be changed in the midst of great controversy like th- financial question, and ,ha, the ques- rion should bs settled by the Union as it now stsnds. He also charged that 2s per cent Of ths inhabitants of Ari- zons sni 35 per cent Of New Mexicu are illiterste. Owens Of Kentucky, said the territories whese area wa greater than that of New England ant whose population were lees than that required for congressional district were unfi: for statehood. He also attacked tfs system of representations proposed for the eohstitutiona! con- vsntion in Arizona ss a psrtizan one, devised 10 further Republican inter. ss.s. Avery held that the only qnes- ton to be considered wsro the qualif- cations Of the territory for statehood. Harris argued that the silver question should not be brought into the con trsyersy.

The hsnai.h work was undoubtedly done at hsnas of the murderous band of Apschss, supeo.ed to be about ' or s in nun Der, among whom undoubtedly is that arch leader and cutthroat the Kid, who have been roaming abou, between their r-udezvou in the fs.tnsss Of the sierra Madras in Mexico to an occasional trip to the reservation after supplies and the kidnapping of another squsw.
 The tracks of Indians at tho scene of the murder led toward Mexico, where they now unquesiionably are safe from the tr0ops, and their last murder unavenget.

Nr. Hand was highly educated, being a college grad usts, but wa. c parslytic fiom youth, |, his speech also being. effected. The climate Of Arizona proved beneficial to him, and he felt at ease here, e1pe- riencing a partial restoration of the ralsied funetions. He constantly EG- mained at the ranch and looked after the stock and goats, and on the dsy day when he was bru.slly murdered by the bloodthirsty Indisns was alone at the ranch. his brothers having zone to Pearee the day before, and on .hsir return found the body of their brother horribly mu,ilatsd, the house ranssck- ed and several horses stolen.

Another step forward in gold re- covering is seemingly at hand. Viz.: the abstraction of sulphur from gold ore by ozone, which can be produced chsaply. The ozone is made by fore ing atmospheric air through an ap- psratus subiecting it in ii. passage to the action of 6 silent discharge of electricity at very high potentisl., whereby the ozone sis generated from the air acted upon. Such an in veniion opens up enormous possi- biliriss but it's practical use for tin, treatment oi refractory ores, to render taem more amenabls 10 the action oi cyanide or chlorinizstion can ouly be determined by ;e,ts on 6 large scale, arrangements for which are being made. There is however no doubt as to the value oi tho invention as enabl- ing chesp..ozone 10 be applied to o,he i ,dustries. such as ihe bleaching O.

EXPLORED A WONDERFUL ISLAND.
Stories of Fabulous Mineral Wealth
Discounted by ActunI Facts.


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15.-S. C. Milard,
who acted as guide and interpreter for Prof.
McGee and his party in their exploration Of
Tiburon island in the Gulf of California, has
returned from the expedition with an over
flowing supply Of interesting things to re-
late.
He says the island is about eighteen by
thirty miles In size, and rises 1000 feet
above the encirclng waves of the Gulf Of
California. The land Is barren and rocky
and is inhabited by about 300 Ceres Indians,
who are unlike any other known race in ap-
pearance and language They wear very few
clothes, and scamper barefooted up and down
the cliffs like wild goats. They never plant
crops, but subsist on game, which is found
In abundance on the island, and the waters
furnish them with any quantity of fish,
clans and oysters. The popular belief that
the natives are cannibals has not been
strengthened by the visit Of the explorers.
There have been wild tales of mines Of
fabulous wealth upon the island, of ledges
of silver and copper ores Of wonderful width
and thickness, but Mr. Millard is. inclined
to discredit these stories. In the half OF the
island which was visited he saw plenty of
rugged mountains plenty Of fertile valleys,
many springs of delicious water, but OF min
eral wealth he saw no trace.
