MATTERS At WASHINGTON.

District Attorney f. s. Clark, who
has Just returned from Washington,
reports that the statehood question is
giving the Arizona contingent in
Washington a good deal of concern,
but the prospects of joint statehood
have been somewhat dampened by a res
olution adopted by the republican
central committee of New Mexico,
opposing union with Arizona and
instructing Delegate Rodey to work
against the joint statehood measure.
On the other hand, the republican
leaders Of the house and senate seem
to be certain that the bill will pass
and become law. The Arizonians in
Washington, including Governor
Murphy, Sims Ely, of the Arizona
Republican, Judge Kibbey and B. A.
Fowler of Phenix, are trying to have a
clause in the proposed bill providing
that the state constitution must be
ratified by a majority vote of both
territories. This would give Arizona
a controlling voice in the matter, as
there could be no statehood if the
constitution failed of ratification;
and it is hardly to be imagined that
Arizona would ever cast a majority of
her votes for a constitution making
her an annex to New Mexico. even
though the misfit were to bear the
honored name OF Arizona.
\ dinner was given by Governor
Murphy on February third, at the Ar
lington hotel, to the republican mem
bers of the house committee on terri
tories, to which Mr. Clark and other
Arizonians were invited. Many inter
esting addresses we're made, and many
good things advantageous to the terri
tory we're brought out. Nearly all OF
the members of the committee present
however, were of the opinion that the
Joint statehood bill would pass. In
view of New Mexico's opposition,
however, they may view it differently
now.
He also reports that on the day he
left Washington, an order was said to
have been signed by President Roose-
welt, restoring a portion of the Navajo
Indian reservation lying south of the
Little Colorado river to the public do
main.
The big fire at Baltimore was plain
ly visible from Washington, and hun
dreds of people went from that city to
see the great cOnfagratiOn. Mr.. |
Clark passed through Baltimore on
Monday evening, and although the
progress of the fire had been checked, /
it was still one of the greatest fires
imag Unable.
He says eastern capital is looking
toward Arizona, and many large in
vestments will be made during the /
present year.

Every mining state in the west to-
day offers opportunity for a man of a
moderate capital to take up and de-
veIop mining claims. Mining of this
class can be secured on favorable
terms and advantageously located.
They have been passed 10y in the rush
for big things or have been held at
fabulous prices by the original To-
Gator. Many of them have never been
located at all because of the local ira
ditlons against the finding Of ore. In
cidentally a large number of such
properties have been successfully de
veloped in the last few years. and
there are more. The more the mining
interests are distributed the better
As the records of the past few years
show, a man with knowledge Of the
business and a small amount of capt.
tai can at this day secure and develop
mines in available localities West

Yokohama, Feb. BIT is reported
here that the Russian warships Grom
oboi, Rossia, Rurik Bogatyr sunk the
japanese merchant steamer, Akour;
Maru, off Hokkaido, February II.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The asso
ciated press is authorized to deny the
report that japanese troops have land
ed at Port Arthur with a loss of two
regiments.
Nothing is known here officially re-
garding the movements OF the Vladi-
vostock squadron, but the reports that
1t had sunk gthe japanese transports
off Wonsan and destroyed Hakodate
are generally discredited, it being
pointed out that it would be impos-
sible for the squadron to have been at
two places almost simultaneously.
\ naval expert says that if the Ha-
kodate story be true. Admiral Stack
eIberg. commander Of the Vladivostock
squadron, would be able to come south
along the eastern coast of Japan aud
cause enormous havoc along the shore
to shipping and ultimately effect a
junction with Admiral Virenus'
squadron on the way to the far east
from Europe. The first feeling of de
preston is disappearing, and entire
confidence expressed of the ultimate
success of the Russian arms.

fore reaching her destination.
Washington, Feb. l3-The state de-
partment today issued the following
statement.
"After some preliminary exchange
of views between this government and
the governments of the other powers
interested in the Chinese situation the
war department on the tenth of Feb
ruary sent the following instruction
to American representatives at St.
Petersburg, Toxic and Peking:
''You will express to the foreign
officers the earnest desire of the gov
eminent of the United States that in

have begun between Russia and Japan

practical ways her administrative en-
tity shall be respected by both parties

four inches thick, one six inches and
the other four feet. and from all indi-
cations there is plenty in the ground
nearby. A few hundred pounds were
brought to town and it proved TO be
coking coal of an excellent quality. a
corporation is going to be formed in
the near future to develop this pros
pect and it is expected that they will
be able to market a great deal of the
coal here. Should the railroad which

of the country be built, the expense

IRRIGATION CONFERENCE
DID NOT MATERIAlIzE
Learned That Gov. Mcbride Would
Appoint Committee to Draft Laws
and IL Was Abandoned.

The proposed irrigation conference,
which was TO have been held at Seattle
last Saturday was abandoned. The OBJ
Iect of the conference was to draft laws
on irrigation TO be submitted to the next
legislature for its approval. Some time
ago the Spokane chamber of commerce
took up the subject and asked Gov Me
Bride TO designate Il committee of five
to draft irrigation laws. The executive
declared hi, inability to make legal
selection, and the movement for an irri-
CATION conference was begun in Seattle
when resolutions from the Spokane and
Wenatchee chambers of commerce were
received indorsing the proposed amen
datory acts.
The Seattle chamber of commerce eN-
tended authority 60 the irrigation com
mittee to make arrangements for the
conference The meeting was enthu>-
iastieally approved and the committee
kept up the agitation for several days.
Then it appeared Gov. Mcbride would
likely name Il committee TO take up the
irrigation problem, acting in an advisory
eapacitl merely This was satisfactory
TO the Seattle committee and 10 steps
were taken to summon outside delegates.
The single object OF the conference
was to suggest amendments to the state
laws that would enable the government
TO carry on its proposed system OF irri-
CATION canals in the arid land district.
When the Seattle chamber learned
that the governor would appoint com.
mittee to draft the proposed irrigation
laws it concluded the conference was not
necessary and notified the various COM
mercial bodies and cities of the state
that had appointed delegates not to send
them.
