The Other side.
Here IL another dispatch, this one 10
the Kansas City Times, sent out from
Washington on tho same day as the
above:
Statehood legislation has taken M
unpromising turn. The republican
senate steering committee has not
reached a definite conclusion, but IL il
now known that it will insist either
upon making two states Of the four
territories or postponing legislation.
On the democratic side, whilo no gen.
eral conference has been held, the
leaders do not conceal their intention
Of making u demand for the admission
OF the four territories as four states

March 18th, II Is apparent that pro.

bill.

decided today to call up the statehood
bill Immediately after the Philippine
bill Is disposed Of. This doesn't mean
that the steering committee will insist
upon the statehood bill retaining It's
place on the calendar until disposed
Of. II will simply be given a position
where II car be used ~ a buffer II
necessary: or II the republicans later
a BE- united they will have the bill
where II can be reached at any time.
One OF the members OF the repub.
lican steering committee, who with.
held the use OF his name, said today to
tho correspondent for the Times; "We
will give tho democrats an opportunity
to secure statehood legislation II they
are willing TO accept the two. state

Senator Bailey Of Texas. a member
OF the committee on territories, who
has always taken u conspicuous part In
the statehood debates, said; II cannot

Prospects
For Statehood
Washington Correspondents
Divided as To Chances Of
Joint Measure
DEMOCRATS" "FoRNlNsT" IT

Dispatches from Washington give
little real Idea Of the chances for the
passage Of the joint statehood bill In
the senate. Some OF the special CORE.
spondents believe there will be little
opposition TO the measure. Witness
tine following:
The steering committee Of the senate
today framed the order Of business
for the senate until the holiday recess.
Four matters will be given attention
In this period. They are the Philip
pine bin, on which the senate agreed
today TO vote December 10th; state
hood legislation; the nomination OF
William d. Crum TO be collector Of
the port NJ Charleston, s. G., and the
question OF filling vacancies on senate
committees.
At informal meetings OF senate lead.
crs several of these measures have
been discussed and the tacit under
standing reached that some Of them
should be kept IN tho background
until late In the session. Notably is
this true Of the proposed legislation
granting the interstate commerce com
mission supervision over railroad
rates.
IL IL believed by senate leaders that
there viii be no substantial opposition
to the statehood bill in It's present
form, admitting Oklahoma ana the In
dian Territory as one state and Arizona
and New Mexico as one state. The
Crum nomination, doubtless, will 90

I. o. O.. y. Monday evening.
Bisbee daily review., 1904-03-25

Thursday morning, and am fully con vinced that this property will develop into a very rich mine. The ore now being developed on the 10th level south of the shaft and the extensive opening in leached ore to the north west put the Lake Superior & Pitts burg out of the doubtful list The shareholders will do well to retain their holdings in this property.
 My visit to the underground work ings of the Calumet 6 Pittsburg. this morning was a very interesting one. anC I can only confirm. the favorable reports sent out concerning the prop erty by everyone who is in position to express an opinion. I will pin my faith to c. 6 P. The large amount Of leached ore developed on the 9th level conclusively proves that large bodies of rich ore will be found at greater depth. One must visit the underground workings of c. G P. to appreciate what is in store fer the stockholders.
 Superintendent Parnall and Mfr Tom Collins looked after our comfort and entertainment during our visit here. and we feel very much indebted 10 them.'

endeavoring to stimulate new actiyi- ty in and broaden the scope of our Boston market The same publica- tion has for three or four years past been extremely and unwarrantedly bearish on the copper metal market, having frequently published discus sions of the possibility and probabili- ty of decline in the price of copper to 10 or g cents per pound, and giv- ing other evidence that it's publisher and editors either have very strong antipathy to everything copper or that their sources of information and judg- ment concerning the metal situation are extremely bad.
 With the Northern Securities cloud dispersed. the stock markets should do better; and coppers should show more of an advance than almost any thing else. No one of the copper companies is operating mines in more than one state. and none can be charged with being in position to control the commodity markets or re- strict the copper trade in any state or district. If any further trouble is to arise, therefore, as a result of the courts ruling it will be railroad or in dustrial companies that will suffer and not copper mines. There is no probability that any copper mining company will reduce its dividend rate this year; but the same can hardly be said of all of the railroads and in- dustrials. If we are to have bull speculation. therefore, and we un- doubtedly shall, the speculators will do well to choose copper shares as their field of operations.

CONFIRMS REPORT.
Was Not Disappointed on his visi
 Here


 J. H. Mclean, representative of the United States Steel corporation in northern Michigan and who has been prominently connected with large mining interests for many years, was a recent visitor in Bisbee. when he in spected the mines of the Bonanza group. His impression of the camp ai- ter looking over the properties can readily be judged from the following contained in a letter which he wrote to T. P Cole:
 On our arrival at Bisbee l was ac- companied to the Calumet & Arizona mine by Mir. Abeel, and with him wis tied the underground workings. We made a thorough examination and was surprised to find the extensive openings made in this property ir such 2 short space of time. It is a wonder full mine and has not been over estimated in the reports given out from time to time by visitors to the Bisbee camp. You are so familiar with the conditions here that I will not go into details regarding devel- oped ore bodies and values. but de- sire to say a word about underground operations:
 'I found the mine opened in a sys- tematic manner. the miners all busy, with no shirking at any point. and am sure excellent results are being ob- tained without imparing the future prospects of the property. The meth ods employed are sure to win all the ore. ard this means much to the stock holders, because a careless manage ment. to secure temporary results, could sacrifice much of the rich ore which has been blocked out in the more or less expensive work of devel opment. Lake Superior methods are being applied to the operation of this property and in the opinion of the writer, this is praise enough.
 'I visited the underground workings of the Lake Superior 6 Pittsburg on

How to pay the $5O.O00.OOO for the right to build the Panama canal with out drawing on the government depos- its in the national banks is problem for the administration to unravel. For the secretary of the treasury to call upon the banks to disgorge would lead nary condition of the government being unable to use it's own cash to pay for the canal route.

THE ESNERALDA MINE.

Jim Henderson returned to Douglas Saturday from the Esmeraldo and is more enthusiastic than ever about the great gold property. He said that 8 cross-cut was being run in the lowest workings to strike the main ledge. Tale stringers from the main ledge have been struck in this cross-cut which pan good quantities of free gold. This tale is sacked for ship ping in canvas. as there is so much free gold in it that if put in common ore sacks it would sift through and be lost.

Bisbee daily review., 1904-03-25

In another column of this depart ment is printed a portion of Walkers weekly copper letter and in the same the noted authority speaks of the ev- ident determination of the Boston brokers to induce the promoters of the large development companies of the Bisbee camp to list their stocks on the Boston Stock Exchange, which, in other words. means that the manipu- lators at the hub" are about to kneel at the feet of the lambs" whom they ruthlessly sheared at the past years. The polished Boston brokers seem not to relish the task they have before them, as is very evident from their maneuvers in going through the preliminary arrangements that are nece ssary before the favorite stocks of the Warren district become a prom inent factor in the stock dealings at the learned eastern center.
 Northern Michigan people, who are interested in stock manipulations, as well as mining people of the Warren district. are quite confident that it will be many, many days ere Boston will be allowed to take hand in the "Bo- nanZa Circle" transactions While these brokers are pleading for admis- sion 10 the "big show" the Michigan men will reflect on the days of long ago when they were unscrupulously fleeced and vamboozled out of thous- ands of hard-earned dollars Their hearts are not likely to soften while these memories of the past are still green, yet they are men with too large hearts to wish to torture, but simply wish to be let alone. They have paid dearly fer their experience with the brokers al the hub" and, being men of wisdom and prudence. will be very careful to escape being again en- snared.
 Boston will doubtless make her overtures and appear on the scene wrapped with smiles but all this will not avail. for the men who have been successful in developing a number of the most prominent mines in the world, are surely capable of devising ways anc means for handling the stocks of the companies that are back of the properties. Honesty will char acterize their dealings with the public and instead of feecing being done on 8 wholesale scale the small, as well as the large investors, will reap substan- tial profits through the purchase of in terests in Warren district properties that are fast coming to the front.
