GOV. ERODE TELLS OF
 ARlZ0NA'S GREATNESS.
TerTitory'S Demand For Statehood
 SineIy and on AriZOna's Merit.

The annual report Of Alexander O. l Brodie, governor Of Arizona to the ] interior, has been made public and il
 is considered one of the most inter esting of all the reports issued from
 the territories. The report contains
 2O6 pages and the subjects covered
 show that Arizon3 is rapidly coming
 to the front as a producer and 8
 consumer. SL.
 As to the gense Conditions, Gov.
 Brodie says: ''AriFina is blessed with
 one of the best systems of public schools in the United States, the re- suit of which will he felt in the future.
 in added refinement and culture Of the
 people. The condition during the past year was one of exceptional pros- perity. Rain was more plentiful than usual ranges are in better shape and agriculture greatly benefited, en- surfing large crops. while the mining industry has made great stride in in- creased production of preciOGs metals.
 The population has increased by the construction Of new railways and the construction of new towns, the expansion of old one, and the opening Of new and valuable mines. The citi- zens are law abidirg, progressive and energetic, all of whom have come to make this their permanent home. The population on June 30, is esti- mated at between l55,000 and I6O OCO" The governor then outlines the growth of the territory since 1870.
 He says that the taxable wealth shows q gain Of $4004 Si3 O over the previous year, the taxable property being valued at SI3, ,08S, ,O4O 62 and the levy is lower than for many years. The wea tn might be increased were adequate methods adopted by which a proper listing and assessment Of prop erty could be obtained.

The track Iavers on the Phoenix

The track layers on the Phoenix
 and Eastern are now about two miles
 this side of the Desert We'll, or about
 twenty-two miles from Florence. We
 will be able 10 celebrate the advent Of
 the railroad and Christmas on the
 same date. and it will be a merry
 Christmas for Florence, indeed. Not only the town, but the whole valley will be painted red Florence Blade. One to look at the long string or
 loaded freight cars and the tons of
 freight piled up on the platform at the depot would not think that busi
 ness was very dull in this section.
 Freight Agent West informed the Journal Miner today that October was the largest month the railroad has had during the past year, and Is very near ly q record breaker for the road, there being only one or two month in the history of the road where the amount of business hand ed was greater than for the month Of October just past. The idle tracks were all filled with loaded cars today. and five cars had to oe set in on the oil track to allow the trains to pass through the city. This certainly looks good for the :2erchants Of Prescott and the general bushes, of the countv.-J ournui- Miner.
 General Charles r. Eagan, promoted from the ranks in the regular army, at the close of the walk-away with Spain turned hi, attention from "embalmed becf' to mining in Mexico. says the Denver News. He is now accused of swrndling bondholders of the Mexi- can Anthracite Coal Mining company of sonora of money they invested in these bonds. As defendant with | Egan arc Alvint Hayward and other ] San Francisco mining men,. Suit is 1 brought by Mrs. Kate J. Black Of New : York, for Slll. zoo, and another suit is i brought by George W.

 The territory is in excellent Gnan- cial condition, says the governor. and the bonds sold during the past year at Sl,093. The credit is due to re- trenchment of the Ppblic debt and the prompt payment or interest on all obligations.
 On the statehood question the gov ernor has the following to say:
 The question of statehood is still uppe"most in the minds Of the citi- zens of the territory. They believe as they have done from year to year, that they are entitled to self-gOvernment as one Of the sisterhood of states The increase in the taxable wealth. char acter of population, as evinced by their education, thrift, energy and qualities of igood citizenship, the building up Of all that goes U make great commonwealth, entities them to consideration and justifes their de- mand that Arizona shall be admitted to the union Of states.
 While the people of Arizona are in their desire for the ad- mission of the territory as state, and feel that the longer the boon is denied them, the longer is great injustice being done to a hardy, honest, straight- forward and patriotic people, still they are unanimous in their opposition to union with any state or part Of state or territory, even though by such union could the desired boon be ob- tained. They have withstood the dan gers of frontier life too many years, worked too hard to mold a state from the desert, they have expended too much time and energy in the upbuild-

PROMINENT MAN ARRESTED.
Tom Bell of Stafford to Answer a
 Murder Charge.
From the Bulletin.

From the Bulletin.
 \ sensation was sprung in the valley last Monday morning when Tom Bell Bonita by Captain Rynning. of the rangers, charged with the crime of murder. Mr. Bell was brought over to Stafford.
 AS near as can be learned it appears that Bell killed his partner, a Mcxi- can. in TrXas, in 1880. The Mexican and Bell were skinuing bccves for their hides that had died during the drouth of that disastrous season to cattlemcn. A dispute arose over d triAe and Bell killed his partner. A dying confession was obtained from the Mexican four days later stating Bell had killed him. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy. Bell was indicted by the grand jury. He fled the country, going to New Mexico.
 In 1885 brother of Bell was killed in Duncan in q harruom. shortly after the death of his brother Ton Bell cam over ;o Duncan from New Mexico to investigate the killing. His brother went ny the name of Fay lor, and will be remembered hy all old-ti mcrs. IIc wa, killed by man ny the name of Mc.twcn. Since that time Bell has rc,iIed in Graham county
 Daring his residence in Graham county Tom Bell has accumulated some property. H. has large bunch of cattle in the AravaipI and owns home in SaIord He ha, always been considered d, one uf the substantial citizens of the county and his arrest comes in the nature of surprise.
 A late uupleasantness at Bonita led to the arrest of Bell. During an ar bitration meeting arranged between he and Bud McClintock. another cow man in the Arava pa, to adjust their differences, dispute arose and Bell brought gun into play. Blt for the timely interference of A. Johnson. merchant at Bonita, McClintock would have been killed. MT Johnson grabbed the revolver just as the trig- ger was about 10 be pulled. This in- cident led to the arrest of Bell on the Texas murder charge.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

cipalities Have Been Abolished.
In the days Of our youth, when we
used to spend our superabundant time
AID our less superabundant pennies
in the pleasurable pastime of collect.
ing postage stamps, we recall how
many pages in our albums had to be
devoted to Germany. 1t almost seemed
as though every crossroads village
and two-by-three dukedom in the
realm had separate postal system
Of its own. There were the stamps
OF the free cities. Can one forget
the grim, battlemented towers which
represented Hamburg or the color of
the stamps of the different principali-
ties, yellow for Saxony, red for Baden
Baden and green for Bavaria? If
one happened to be very lucky there
were those rare stamps Of the noble
men who used to run private mail
routes through the country somewhat
as the Wells-Fargo company did in
our own far West not so many years
ago.
Bavaria is to-day the only one Of
the old principalities which still re-
tains separate postage, and that is
fast becoming obsolete, since it is
only available for sending letters out
Of Bavaria itself and is not recognized
elsewhere in the empire.

Poor Mans Chance,

It is being said in many Eastern
journals and not a few Western ones
that the day Of the poor man in. min
ing is gone by; that no one but a big
corporation can succeed in mining any
more, that 1t takes big capital to d.
anything; that most of the good min.
ing propositions are controlled by
trusts or mlllionaires and that there
is no longer opportunity for a man
with a little money. This is all a mis-.
take. The day of the poor" mining
man was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most of the good
mines are owned by trusts or million.
aires is heard most often, but there is
least in that of any of the pesslmistlc
utterances. Ono hears of the big mil.
lionaire owners more than he does OF
the thousands OF substantial com.
panies that go right on with little
notoriety, paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally, 1t may be justly said in an.
swer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with a
little money, that never in the worlds
history were there fiuer opportunities
in mining for the man with a little
money than in the west half Of Amer.
lea today. Are you Interested?

you nothing and will aid you in max.
ing money.
