ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.

The Hon. B. s. Rodey. delegate to Congress from New Mexico, has just returned to his home at Albuquerque, and expresses the opinion that Ari- zona. and New Mexico will be made one state. by Republican party action early in the next session of congress. MT. Rodey says that no amount of op- posion on the part of Arizona can pre- vent this. and he intimates that New Mexico will welcome the new relation. Assuming that NIT. Rodey, who is a republican. is speaking by the author ity of his party leaders in Congress. what are the people of Arizona going to do about it?
 In time of peace, prepare for war. is an adage both ancient and wise. Unless the people Of this territory are willing that Arizona should become a vassai province of New Mexico DO time is to be lost in preparing to fight the proposal. IL should no.~De lost sight of that in the next con- gTess the people Of Arizona will not have Mark Smith at the helm Col. Wilson may prove to be ali that could be desired, but he has not had as much experience as MT.

For this he Is entitled to the eternal gra;- ftnde of the people of Arizona. h the next congress .5c question will again be alive aud unless the people of Arizona present sosid, determined fighting front.

 This Is the most serious public prob lem now confronting the people of Arizona We believe that not three per cent of the people of this territory are willing to join New Mexico in Statehood.

SAN MARCIAL COAL FIELDS

all seem to wish to be the coal-barons of the region and for that reason are eternally at war with one another.
 Through the process of law they squeeze the smaller proprietors out of their holdings and afterward get tangled up in law suit for the small CT properties.
 General Egan has had Johnson in jail most of the time during the past year on account of the mines, and w c. Greene has been threatening to send a bunch of Arizona cowboys to San Marcial to chase Egan on the premises 1T he can not hold his prop erty by any other means.
 At the same time the Southern Pa ciic company has been endeavoring to enlarge its claims by litigation. The railroad company has decided to construct a branch line into San Mar cial within the next few years. This will give that company every advant- age over its rivals. It will be able to transport coal to all points for so much less than any other coal mining outfit at San Marcial that it will not be long before all the mines will be in its control. All other proprietors will have to sell out or get out"

 A committee O. public sa.ety should now be organized. This should be made up of men of ali parties. The duty Of this committee should be to protect the commonwealth. Arizona is worth fighting for as it stands. As a province of New Mexico it would wither and decay. New Mexico would tax Arizona to death, destroy its industries. abolish it's institutions. imperil it's civilization. Arizona wishes New Mexico well as a neighbor and friend. But the highest effort of Ari- zona statesmenship should be exerted to prevent political amalgamation with New Mexico-Citizen.

George w. Wilson. who was here yesterday on his way from Hermosillo to Los Angeles, to meet party of capitalists. has just finished a pros pecting trip in the San Marcial coal fields.
 Mir. Wilson gives a very favorable account of the coal mines in the San Marcial district. According to him. during the few years in which work of a development character has been done in the district, millions of tons of coal have been extracted from the mines. and tens of millions have been blocked out underground.
 There are two great faults in the San Marcial coal district" said he, "and these are litigation and slate. Litigation is the worst of the two, by all odds.
 There are so many people of wealth who have invested in the mines and who want to take everything in sight, and then some, that we are all thrown
 There are so many people of wealth soon as we find anything.
 Among others interested in the mines are W. c. Greene. General Egan, the Southern Pacific Railroad company and Charles Johnson. They
