that the famous floor makes

fers a large number of most ex- celleht prospects, many of which can, no doubt, be developed into big paying mines by intelligent management and the expendi- ture of. a few thousand dollars. Our mine owners should not be- come excited because so many mining men have been looking over the camp. So far no deals have been made, and possibly may not be made for some time to come. The prospective buyer should be encouraged in every way. Mines can only be devel- oped by the expenditure of vast sums of money. The prospector who locates the claim and the promoter should at all times try to work together in har- mony. Each is essential to the success of the other. By all means, boys, do not place too high figure on your property, and give the man who is willing to develop it an opportunity to do so without first paying for the mine in spot cash. If you have faith in your property the expenditure of a few thousand dollars in work can not hurt it, and if it should be the means of developing it into a producer you would then be sure of your money.

The proposed bull fight at Phoenix during carnival week stirred up a regular hornets nest. Such a row was kicked up over it that the management had to withdraw it as one of the features of the entertainment. This was right and proper. The wonder is that such brutal sport as bull fighting was proposed in a civilized community. We are glad to know that such a senti
 ment prevails in the capital city. Only last winter Phoenix was widely advertised through a series of letters to the eastern press as ''The most wide-open town in all the west" in which it was compared to Monte Carlo

Congress convened last week

Congress convened last week but as it will be a short session with much business of importance to transact, it is not likely that anything can be done at this session in the interest of statehood. Inlfact it would be a mistake to attempt anything of the kind, because it would surely prove a failure. Let those who intend to labor for statehood be on hand at the opening of the new congress, and be prepared to camp in Washington until they get state hood. The idea is to go after it and get it.

There is no need for undue ex

There is no need for undue ex- citement over the statement that English capitalists are seeking to buy all the best gold mines. As long as they pay from a few millions to fifteen and twenty millions per mine, the chances are that they will leave as much money in this country as they will take away. The Stratton mine, for which a handsome price was paid, seems to have been something of gold brick, if one may judge from current reports.

An order issued from the gen eral land office last week, is of importance to stockmen in this section. It is as follows:
 In all applications for permits for grazing stock on the reserves it is agreed by the applicant that no stock shall be corralled within 800 yards of any running stream or living spring. The recent order calls special atten- tion to this clause and orders that all inspectors exercise care in its en- forcement. The rule applies not only to the present season, but to the fu- ture. The officers of the reserve are expressly directed to see that no stock is allowed on the reserve with out permits.

OhC O1 lAC COAIOlS O1 uEI ERA spent a couple of hours in Lordsburg Saturday last, and was agreeably Surprised at the many Improvement in the town since his last visit. In fact, Lordsburg is almost on boom, and with the exception of Cliff ton, is no doubt about the live Hest town in the southwest. A handsome two story brick block, with four store rooms on the
 first floor, and a first-class hotel above, is now nearing compile tion. It is the property of Judge McGrath, and when com pleted would be an ornament to any town in the southwest. Some of the Lordsburg stores, more especially the esta blish- ments of Roberts & Lehay and the Eagle Drug and Mercan- tile Company, carry immense stocks, and do a business GOV. ering a vast section of. country. All of the mining camps around Lordsburg are beginning to be producers and shippers. It.is also the center of d vast cattle country, which is of great bene
 fit to the town. Lordsburg has made a most remarkable growth during the past year, and is be- coming quite ambitious. Her citizens now object to having the town referred of as "the junction. It has passed that stage and all Lordsburgers now speak of the town as "the city," and refer to Clifton as "that camp up in the mountains. The editor of the Liberal, an un- doubted authority on railroads, told us confidentially that the Nacasari road would be built to Lordsburg, instead of Separ or Deming. He said they were making that talk. in order to secure a right-of- way into "the city" He said that he also had it on the best of authority that the Morenci Southern, which will soon be in operation from Guthrie to Morenci, will be ex- tended on to Lordsburg at once to connect with the Nacasari road, both of which are owned by the same people, and that their smelter would be located at Lordsburg, instead of El Paso. This, of coursef he said,
 would secure an extension of the Santa Fe from Silver. This, he explained, would make Lordsburg the great railroad, mining and commercial center
