THE MAMOTH MINE
lis Stamp Hill 10 Be Operated IY
 Electric Power.

The Mammoth mine will sDo2 ire
 equipped with the largest electrical
 plant of any mining prop5lty ir tno
 world" said George H. Blair, manager
 of the mine at the Adams last night.
 'The Mammoth is a low giade prop0Si
 tiOn and the success or failure of the work depends upon how cheapiy it can be run. Of course the mine is Q
 money maker and has been all it's history, but the returns have not been what they should have been for the
 money invested. At present we are running fifty stamps and a cyanide
 plant for the tailings. There are over 150 tons of old taflings which are also being run through the cyanide plant
 With the concentrating from the stamps and the cyaniding practically all the gold is now secured.
 But the question of fuel has hsen
 all-important. All the wood we can
 get has to be hauled 20 miles and up
 ward and it costs us $50 a day for
 fuel. To Obviate this enormous drain the company has arranged to put in ar electric plant on Arivaipa creex, fifteen miles from the mine and transmit cleo tric power over copper wire to run the stamps. This plant will be one of the most powerful in the country fer not only will it supply power for the fifty stamps now in operation but for fifty more to be put in at once making a total number of one hundred, for the Mammoth. and we will furnish power to the Mohawk mine of 90 stamps a few miles away, so you can see it will be something of power plant to run 130 stamps
 Lights, both are and incadescen3. will be furnished for the mills and towns of Mammoth and Schultz one town being at the mine, and the other at the mills three miles distant What the saving will be by utilizing this water power and transforming it to electric, can be judged by the fact that it will save the Mammoth mine $50.- GOO year in fuel charges alone.
 We have one of the largest steel wire tramways in use in the west, it being three miles long. Ore is trans buckets to the mills, three miles from the mine and water carried back on the return trip. so that all the energy is utilized. How many men have we at work? Over one hundred now and with the additional stamps will nearly double the force. l believe that the Mammoth is one of the greatest, if not Lile greatest SOlQ proposition Ill ArI- zOna.
 And in this connection I want to | say a word for Arizona in general as a mining section. I first came to the | territory to put in the tranwav. seven teen months ago. l had mined in Col | OradO for years, and like others in that i state had very poor opinl0n of Ari- | zOna as a mining section That opin- ion has undergone material change | and I now believe this territory to be | one Of the greatest mineral districts of l America. The London owners Of the | Mammoth are highly pleased with i what has been done in the last year and are showing their faith in the con- tinuation of the property as a money maker by making al the extensive improvements of which I have just told you.

TALKS OF CAMP LIFE
Lienfendnf Hill Relates Some
 Interesting Events.
New Workers Found the Arizona Continent Could Scrap When if Was NeCesSarY-HOwM Maior RuS- sell CoWed inc Police.

After a day with his friends Lieu tenant William Hill of the McCo-d reg iment found time yesterday to relate some incidents relative to the regi- ment since it's departure. He said that the boys were in good spirits through out the trip but were glad to receive the mastering out orders. They would all have been anxious at first to leave for the front, but at the time of the mastering out probably net more than one-half would have cared to partici- pate in the war, not that their patriot ism was in any way lessened, but they were all tired of the routine duty and were particularly glad of an oppor- tunity to return home.
 Yes" he said, T was exceedingly glad to return home. The military life grows very monotonous with the en- listed men, but as for the officers their duties were so varied and of such quan- tity that they never became irksome and the experience was pleasant The only drawback was the shifting of camps and the distarce we were from home I have no doubt that many of the enlisted men would like army life if their garrison was stationed at their home
 ''Our death rate was very light, only nine of the 1908 men in the regiment dying in the seven months service, and of that number four were from the territory. The Phoenix contingent lost only enc man, J. J. Sullivan, whose death occurred shortly after the mus tering out orders were received. We

BELIEVES IN EXPANSION
[. ". Hill Says inc East End Would Profit by Coming Into inc City.

l.. w. Hill who acted as chairman of the mass meeting held in the Mur- phy addition last Saturday night, free ly expressed his views yesterday re- garding the annexation problem. His first statement was: T am an annex ationist.
 And I am not the only expansionist in our addition,'' he continued. ''I know of but two families who are o2- posed to it, one of them is ready to change it's views if it can receive cer- tain assurances. The question seems to me very simple, but even among those who indorse the movement in the Murphy addition, there is a slight backWardness on account of some matters of trival importance. Some Of them want double assurance aS t0 what benefits they are to receive from the city in case they enter, citing the Churchill addition, as an example, where the people are deriving no ben efts from the city. As a matter Of fact the residents of the Churchill ad- ditiOn have made no requests to the city, or I am satisfied they would have been granted, and a locality cannot expect to have favOrs thrust upon it. So think their fears in this line are ungrounded, and if they will enter the city limits, without question, those matters would easily be adjusted after ward
 Another slight objection was the method by which they would be fcrced into the city. There is but two ways in which an addition may be annexed to the city, either by a petition pre- sented to the council by the residents of the addition asking that they be al- lowed to enter; or by one presented to the court by the residents within the

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE FOR SEN
ATORS,

The failure to elect senator's I'm Cell
fornia, Utah and Delaware should
further emphasize the necessity OF a
change in the constitution, whereby
United States senators can be elected
by direct vote Of the people. Aside
from the corruption and bribery that
has disgraced several states, there
have been long-drawn-out contests
occasioned by the stubbornness Of
men who regard their own personal
ambition az paramount to the inter-
ests of their party and state. One
half OF the time that should he given
TO needed legislation Is consumed In
wire-pulling and fruitless voting.
There are men who go before every
state legislature seeking senatorial
honors who would have no show
whatever before the people. Some
have just enough strength to force a
deadlock, while Others who have no
personal following, owing to a lack
Of fitness or winning traits OF char
acter, accomplish their purpose
through the means Of a check-boOk-
or crisp thousand dollar bills. What
show would W. A. Clark stand Of be-
ing elected senator Of Montana II he
relied upon the people? He was re-
pudiated once when he ran for dele
gate to congress. There are a num-
her of states where the senatorial
+. toga is apparently put up to the
highest bidder, much to theshame and
disgrace of the whole country.
In order TO secur a change in the
method of electing senator's two
thirds Of each branch of congress
would have to agree in proposing an
amendment to the constitution to
that end, and the legislatures of
three-fourths of the states would
have to ratify such an amendment.
As there Ia no probability OF the
upper house Of congress favoring the
change relief from the present shame
full scenes incident to senatorial cleo
tons il very remote.
1t has been suggested that until a
constitutional amendments adopted
state conventions should name their
choice for United States senator, or
provision made to have the people
vote their choice on election day.
While this action would not be bind
ing, it would he such an expression
that no legislature would dare to
ignore.

There has been considerable con-
troversy over the war revenue law
as to who shall pay for the revenue
stamps that must be affixed to bills
of lading given by carriers to ship
pers. The law does not specify which
shall pay the tax. and i'm most cases
the shippers and senders have been
required to pay 1t. Judge Tuley
of Chicago some time since, in a case
brought before him, decided that the
carrier under the law was obligated
to furnish a stamped receipt to the
shipper, basing his decision upon the
assumption that the levying Of the
tax was intended by the government
as a tax upon the business Of thecar
rier and not upon the shipper. This
decision has been affirmed by the
unanimous opinion OF the appellate
court. 1t is thought that ever II tn,
express companies should decide tc
pay the tax they will increase theil
rates to such an extent that it will
more than offset the required revenu,

courts will prove Of very little benef
