Plotting the Defeat of Statehood.

Various opinions of the probable ac- ton of the senate on the question of the admission of the territories to state hood have found their way into public print during the past week, the con- census being uDfavorable to the omui. bus bill.
 At this writing "Wednesday our lat est Washington advices are to the effect that when the senate convened on Monday an effort was made to set n time for taking vote on the omnibus bill. Senator Bailey charged the re- publican leaders with attempting to obstruct public business by tilibuster- ing. No agreement seems to have re- suited from the discussion-u the published rumor is credited that, as n result of conference between Allison, Quay, Poraker and Hanna, compro- mise will be reached and vote on the bill and proposed amendments taken at an early date.
 It looks very much as though Seua- tor Quay might be induced to accept au amended bill admitting Arizona and New Mexico as one state, and Okla. homa and Indian Territory as another and, apparently, this is the scheme by which the republican leaders hope to defeat the creation of any new states kno TIng, as they do, that the majority of the people of the four territories are uualterably opposed to a merger and would in all probability refuse tc ratIfy any constitution submitted tc them.
 It would be far better for Arizona to remain Tn tutelage for a period oI years longer than to lose Ter identity and have her future blighted by being united with territory whose resources are unequal and whose people are SC much inferior to her own.

VALUABLE ORE SHIPMENTS
A Train toad of Gold Ore Valued at One Nil.
 lion Dollars.

There was shipped from the Peca- chO mine, in Souora, through Douglas, Tuesday night, a solid trainload Of gold ore. The train consisted Of ten large Santa Fe cars and con tained something over 1000 sacks. The total value of the ore is understood to be close to a million dollars. One car was valued at $SO,O0O and did not have the richest ore in it.
 The ore was shipped from the Peca- cho mine, located at Bacoachi and owned by some Of the directors ot Phelps, Dodge X Co.,, New York The mine has been in a legal tangle for over a year and only recently a clear title was obtained which gave the New York owners full and complete posses sion of the mine and allowed them to make shipments to the United States.
 For a number of months the Phelps Dodge people have been taking the ore out of the mine, sackiDg it and storing it in large warehouse near the mine, which was always under constant guard, as the ore was known to be very rich, and the MeMcans could not be trusted to keep at a safe distance with out some official protection.
 On the 1st of January a new tariff went into effect which raised the duties l on ores shipped out of Mexico to about 40 per cent of their value and the Phelps Dodge people have made haste to get several shipments out in time to avoid the new tariff. This will not stop shipments, however, as the mine is too valuable, but work will be push ed with vigor and shipments made through Douglas as fast as possible.
 The PeCachO mine has a varied his. tory and would take columns to tell, but the ps-Dodge company deserve a great deal of credit for the manner in which they have handled the prop erty and are to be congratulated on their good fortune. The opening of the Pecacho is the making of a certain section of mining country tributary to their railroad, and is but one of the many valuable mines that will help by bringing great results to both Sonora and southeastern Arizona. - BiSbee Review.

Land Values Enhanced by Irrigation

The striking statement is made in the current report of the division of hydrography of the United States geo. logical survey, now ln press, that "Ihe open range of the arid region is generally stated to be capable of sup porting one COW to every twenty acres. The same land when watered and put in alfalfa will frequently feed ten COWS to every twenty acres, or in orchards at favorable attitudes will support a family of three, or even five, persons. The open range may have value of 50 cents an acre, while under irrigation the selling price may jump to $50 an acre, and if in orchards to $500 an acre. Thus the values of the lands are directly reversed, the grazing land hav- ing the greatest extent and the least value and the irrigated land the least extent and the greatest value. The progress of the west Is so dependent on the amount and intelligent use of rhe water supply that the geological survey, in its study of the water resources of the country, has made a special effort to collect full information regarding the character and regimen of all the import  supply of that section. This inves,iga- tion includes ystematIc measurements of flow, the survey of reservoir sites, the study of water conservation, and the consideration of the use of water on important watersheds.

Senator John T.

The strength corporate wealth has attained in the United States is calculated to fill one with awe, he says. and the president and congress are as pygmies beside 1t. Mr. Morgan expresses his belief that solution will be found {; that it may come soon or may be long delayed, depending on how speedily the American people awaken to their peril.

An observant person remarks that 'the public likes as well to read inter- esting matter In the advertising col umns as in the news columns" There is nothing surprising about this since the facts which are advertised have Il direct personal interest to the public. The advertiser offers to the people only such things as the people need and about the character and prices of which they want information.

csnsnea, Ysqul River 6 Pacific Railroad.

F.. A. Mcfarland, assistant manager orthe Colorado & Arizona road, which is known in Sonora as the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific, was in this city last evening stopping at the Copper Queen hotel. He leaves this morning for CochiSe, where be goes to make final arrangements for the commence ment of the active building of the road from CochiSe station south.
 The contractor is R. E. Coleman, who IS at present at Jerome Junction arranging for the shipping of the grading outfit from there to COchise. Coleman has the contract for grading the new road from CuchiSe to the Mex iCan line.
 Manager Mcfarland Stated.laSt even ing thas at present he only had instruc- tions to build the first sixteen miles, which will complete the road from CochSe to Pearce, but that he ex- pected daily to receive instructions to complete the entire line without de- lay.
 Some diff ulty is being experienced at the border in getting across into Mexico. The company haa located an easier grade east of NacO and wants to cross at that point, but the citizens of Naco have raised an objection which appears to have been sustained by the Mexican authorities and this question remains unsettled.
 It is the general opinion that the road will be pushed through to Topo- lobampo, and then extended north, passing through Solomonville and on to Clifton. -Bisbee Review.
