The Joint Statehood Bill

The indications are that the joint statehood bills will pass at the con- ing session of congress, notwithstand- ing the violent opposition to joint statehood that has been expressed by the voters of both New Mexico and Arizona. The people of the territories learned long ago that their opinions carried little weight in congress. This is as true when the people oppose any measure as when they favor it. East ern papers when commenting on the question, since the election, say that in all probability the joint statehood bill will pass this winter. Delegate Rodey will use every endeavor to se- cure the passage of his bill, and prob. ably deep down in hls heart, will con slider the admission of New Mexico during his term as delegate, as a neat bit of revenge on Governor Otero and Senator Andrews. If the joint state hood bili passes, the Liberal would ad- wise all lovers of politics and sport to attend the republican convention called for the purpose of nominating state officers in the new state of Ari. zona. It will be hot meeting and there will be lots of fun.-Lordsburg Liberal.

The Electrical Locomotive

Referring to the recent tests of cleo tric motors as substitutes for steam engines, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says that while electrical locomo- tives will doubtless prove satisfactory for the special service to which they will bti devoted, 1t is pointed out that their prospect of supplanting the steam locomotives for ordinary traffic is still remote. If electricity gener- ated from water power, like Niagara Falls, can be distributed over long dis tances Or, by some means not yet de- vised, t'e extracted from the air, the outlook for the electrical vehicle would be more hattering. But cost is still the controlling factor. Rail- way companies will not abandon steaEl for electricity until the latter shall be made the cheaper, and as long as electrical power has to be de- veloped from coal, and at a cost greater than that needed to produce steam, tn steam locomotive will pos sess la 'ge advantage and the elec- trical be confined to some such special service as that adopted by the New York Central, where cost is not the chief thing to be considered.

The Weeks Mining News as Re-
 ported by the Miner

The Gold Road company is grading out site near the old mill and will add large plant of new machinery to its capacity. It is expected to handle at least POO tons of ore daily when the new plant is completed.
 It is expected that within few days the promoters of the shelter proposi- tion will arrive in Kingman for the purpose of selecting site for the plant. As yet it is not known just where the site may be located, but that it will come to Kingman is among the certainties. Kingman is the best place for smelter of any of the towns on the line of the Santa Fe, as it is in touch with all the mining camps of the desert country.
 The Blue Ridge Mining company has made extensive strikes of rich ore in the Tom Reed mine, now owned by that company, and is now considering the question of milling plant. The slafG on the property has reached a depth of something over 100 feet and crosscuts and drif5s have bsen driven on the vein. Tne Ben Harrison is on the same lead and is opened by shaft 100 feet deep and in this shaft work is now bsing carried on, opening up splendid body of ore.
 Itis reported that two young pros. pectors, who have been at work on a mining claim near the Minnie, of the Sheeptrail group, have just made a shipment ol four sacks of ore that netted them the nice little sum of $500. The vein from which this ore was taken is quite large, but the rich streak is small and runs on oae of the walls. The Mamie mine, on the su.- face, produced similar ore and ia quantity.
 s. D. Myers, one of the oldtimers of the Chloride couotry, has made the discovery of an immensely rich vein of silver.goid ore over in Eugene camp, Weaver district. Assays from the ou crop give l00S ounces silver and , Ounc ss gold. Several Chloride peo. pie are interested in the new find and are preparing to go over there and make an examination of it. Jack Ellis, one of the parties interested, was in Kingman few days ago, and stated that he would leave at once for the mine. He believes it is one of the most important finds ever made ir that section.

Mining Rights on Forest Reserves

All forest reserves-not national park reserves are subject to the oper- ation of the mineral land laws; an owner of valid and subsisting min ing location in forest reserve has the right to fence such claim, to carry on mining and agricultural pursuits on such claim, and to cut the timber thereon for actual mining purposes. In creating the forest reserves 1t was not the purpose of the government to antagonize the mining industry, but to protect the forest timber from de- structive fires and other waste, that it might be used for mining and agricul. ture. Mineral claimants in forest re- serves are also permitted to use Water thereon. They may also take stone and timber from the general unoccu- pied reserve for use on the claim when the supply on the claim itself is made qaute. This privilege does not extend to corporations. Forest reserves are open for all proper and lawful pur- poses, including that of prospecting, locating and developing the mineral resources thereof provided that such persons comply with the rules and regulations covering such forest reser- vations.

perty is very promising one as can
 be seen from the returns on this ore.
 Ed Block has just returned from a
 tour of inspection to the Old Mesa Gold company,s property and the Mer- chants Mining companyS property in the Big Bug district, and reports that the Old Mesa company, is shipping some very fine free milling gold ore to the Poland mill to be treated. While in camp, MT. Block as president of the Merchants Mining company, let con- tract for work on some of the com pans property to D. E. Davis. He re- ports that the outlook for the Big Bug district for this coming spring is quite encouraging.
 The Poland tunnel, lately complet- ed, which connects the Poland mine with the Lynx Creek district, has been widely discussed by mining journals, yet only those who have been in this gigantic burrow through the noun tain can grasp the magnitude of this undertaking. The tunnel is SOTO feet in length and except for slight curve is absolutely straight. At ts deepest point this tunnel is 1900 feet below the surface and so accurately were the surveys made that the two tunnels driven in from opposite sides of the hills did not vary single inch from perfect jointure. A number of veins were cut in this tunnel from which ore is now being taken to supply the big Poland mill, which runs night and day. Mining Review.

COCHISE COUNTY
Where Mining, the Chief Industry
 Is very Active

The board of directors of the Calu- met & Arizona Mining company held a meet ting on Tuesday, at Calumet, at which time regular quarterly divi. dend of $1.50 and 50 cents extra was declared for the present qu ,rter end ing December 19. This will make $l.300, 900 paid by this company for the year and is a highly creditable per formance for a company that com. menced making copper two years ago last Tuesday. This makes S1, 700, ,0OO that will have been distributed to the sha eholderS up to December l9, in addition to which a substantial sum has been earned and set aside to the surplus fund. It is an unduplicated perfor nance in the history of copper mining, and one refeoting the ability and integrity of those in whose hands the enterprise reposes. - Michigan Iron Ore.
 Friday morning Judge W. J. Kirk patrick, of this city, filed with Judge Doan's court at Tom bstone petition to declare the Black Diamond Copper Mining company, near Pearce, c )chise county, bankrupt.

 Soon after Phelps Dodge became largely interested in Old Dominion, there was howl from number of minority stockholders, who seemed to have the impression that the stock Tould never again be worth what it saS then quoted at, about 80. In fact ipiunction proceedir gs were had to prevent tbe proposed merger, but to- day the stock IS quoted at s2S, with no dividend in prospect for many months to come. It has been mentioned in inc papers that dividend will proba- by be paid some time next summer but that is somewhat vague.

CLIFTON AND M0RENCI
Items of Interest from Graham Coun-
 tvs Big Copper Camps

From the Era l:
 Professor James Douglas, consult lngengineer of the Phelps Dodge com paDy camps, accompanied by Supt. O.. E. Mills, came to camp Thursday after. noon, and spent several days looking over the improvements now being made and those already finished, and expressed himself as highly gratified at the progress being made in all de- partments. The improvements now made in this camp should cffectually set at rest all the rumors of con templated change of location for smelting and treating the ores being taken from the property Of the com pany in MOrenci. Leader.
 The Boston News Bureau says: Al. though the stock of the Arizona Cop per company is practically all held in Scotland, considerable interest at tacheS t0 the company in this country owing t0 its prominence as large producer of copper. There are good grounds for the statement that the Amalgamated Copper people have been securing secret reports as to this company with view to purchasing. The stock, however, is well scattered abroad and unquestionably the Anal gamated would have to pay large price for it. The mines of the Arizona UOpp5r company, all located in the Clifton district, furnished last year jOO0O0 tons of ore, from which it re- covered 2S,000, 900 pounds of refined copper. This production is being maintained this year, last month $ product being 2,400, 900 pounds.
 To those who are best informed, it becomes apparent every day that the New Englapd people are behind the heavy purchase of shannon stock, which was such surprise to the mau- agement of the company, Since last week about 10000 shares of stock have changed hands, and there can be nc longer a question but that the control ol the company has passed into new hands. The annual meeting of the company will occur next Monday which will definitely determine the power behind the throne. The senti ment seems to be growing in this sec ton that Phelps Dodge are not in or the deal. It has been known fol months past that the New England people had in contemplation the cree ilon of extensive works, ,and when ths break came in the shannon it is onl, faaSonable to suppose that they saw az opportunity to secure a plant ali ready built and in operation, together With one of the best mining proper tIeS in the territory for about the orig nal cost of the plant.
