SHANNON ON
STATEHOOD.
He Thinks That Everything Looks
Very Good.

Hon. Charles NJ. Shannon, who is in
Tucson, believes that the recent visit
of the Hearst party will be of meal
culable benefit to Arizona. THE visit
of the party said Mr.. Shannon to a
Tucson Citizen reporter, with the eX-
newspapers will have the effect of
calling the attention of the country at
large to Arizona conditions. No one
makes pretense any longer that Ari-
statehood, but the steady reiteration
of the extent of Arizona's resources
will soon make the republican leaders
in the Senate feel that they are trying
to maintain an untenable position in
denying our claims, in the face of
palpable public belief that we have
the necessary population and taxable
values.
IL am entirely satisfied that nearly
every body in California is favorable to
Arizona's statehood demands. The
few exceptions only accentuate the
general opinion of the State. Senator
Bard, it is understood, stands where
he stood last winter in opposition to
us, but it is no secret in California
that Bard is very largely under the
influence OF General Otis, the editor
Of the Los Angeles Times, who for
some reason or other has taken an in
tense prejudice against Arizona. | is
the Congressman from California ire
spective OF party are active advocates
Of statehood for Arizona. and that all
the public men of the State, with the
exception of Bard and Otis are behind

A BONANZA MINE.
Ore that is Rich iu Yellow Gold.

H G. Grannis OF Fl Paso and his
brother. w. Delaney Grannis OF New
York City, who represents capital
from the big metropolis, recently
passed through Benson en- route east.
Mr.. Grannis exhibited a sack OF
specimens TO his friends here that
fairly sparkled with the yellow metal,
sken from a mine in the rich district
Of Magdalena district, Sonora, known
throughout Mexico and Arizona "a the
New Klondike camp. His brother
was also well provided with rich
specimens.
They were recently sent to Sonora
by New York capitalists 70 find some
thing, and they have been eminently
successful.
From samples OF ore we have seen
and tested, we believe hat they have
secured for their New York friends a
bonanza mine. We understand that
the ledge varies from , 10 40 feet in
width, and assays made by the L. 5.
assayers ran from S.. 30 to over 800
per ton, the samples being taken from
several parts of the ledge, and also
from the pOrphyry and the dump.
The average will run close to $50 per
ton.
The walls are granite and porphyry.
and the ore body being so extensive,
ting proposition will undoubtedly prove
'be one of the biggest gold pro-
ducers in the rich Sonora country.
This property was reported sold for
cash few days ago, but owing to some
small disagreement on the part of the
buyers, the deal was not completed on
time. and Mr. Grannis was lucky
enough to close the deal for his par
ties without delay.
We understand a ten-stamp mill will
be placed on the property within a
short time, and we look to see a large
dividend payer in the near future.
There is an abundance of wood and
water in close proximity to the mine,
and the cost OF milling should De very
low.
The development work on the prop
erty consists Of 800 feet of tunneling
and shafts.
The Lossaina mine adjoining this
property has been operated but few
months, and is turning out about Sl2,-
900 per month with a ten stamp mill
and the property could not be pur-
chased for less than 81 900 900.
We wish Mr.. Grannis and associates
all kinds OF good luck, and we are
glad to see eastern capital coming into
Arizona and Sonora, that within few
years are destined to be the greatest
mining camps in the world.-Bcnson
