BEFORE the election the Bi,bee
 Review told it- readers to elect
 Mark Smith. and he would defeat jOinture with New Mexico. and that no one else could do it. II now states thdtNt believe, the bill will pass as the democrats in the senate will see the futility of bucking their heads against stone wall This iS in line w.th what the republicans said be- fore the election. but the die is now cast. and apparently We are up against it, and will have to make the best of bad situation. Granting that the jOinture bill does pass. then whdtE \ constitutional convention Will be called. and suppose that Ari- Zona ignores it. New Mexico will 20 ahead and frame q constitution. and the chances are that it will be adopted by the people. Arizona is now placed in q serious situation. and l> apt to have statehood forced upon her whether she wants 1t or not. and under these circumstances it would doubtless be well for the peo- pie to participate in the framing of a constitution, which can be rejected T-Trcr IT they see IT tC7 do -O.

THE wonderful increase in the out put of copper by Arizona mines dur ing the present year k attracting world wide attention. This phcnome- nal increase k all the more remark able when it is remembered that both Montana and Michigan are not holding their own. The New York Commercial, which k about the best authority on copper mining, eS- inmates that the output of the prln- Cipal mines of Arizona for the pres ent year will reach. the enormous fig ure of 200. .j00. .O00 pounds as against l43.200,00O pounds for last year, Smaller shippers. it k estimated, VII swell this output about 2o,0l.uo' pounds.

THE territorial legislature will soon be called to meet at the capital. and let Us hope that the members will not consider that it is absolutely necessary to pass a large number of new laws. many of which could be of no particular benefit to any section of the territory. A primary election law if properly constructed would doubtless prove benefit to the coun- try. An educational qualification would also be a good thing, and a moderately high license on retail Iiouor dealers and gamblers would also prove beneficial. This would not only bring the territory an additional income. but would also prove bene- fit and a protection to all those who are legitimately engaged Tn the business. These licenses should pe

A very unpleasant affair occurred at the Mormon church in south Cliff ton last night. It seems that the wife of Al. Weaver. who k not now living with her husband, was at the dance. Mir. Weaver rode to the church on horseback. and soon en- volved in wordy discussion. which terminated in fight which was pur- sued to within the dance hall. The young mau put up pretty stiff fight. and when the trouble was over, 1t was found that considerable furniture was badly damaged. Mir. Weaver got decidedly the worst of 1t, and finally got on his horse and started up town. He met two officers, who had been telephOned for. to whom he explained the cause of the trou
 ble. and stated that he was probably to blamc for the trouble. He was placed under arrest, and will have his trial today.

Arizona numbers an asbestos mine among its widely various mineral re- sources. It is located down in the Grand canyon of the Colorado at a depth of 2oO0 feet. It was discovered by Captain John Hance, who has spent twenty-five years on the rim of the canyon, and whose fame a> an Indian fighter and scout has gone wherever the Grand canyon is known. The ledge lies in one of the most in- accessible spots in the canyon. far from the trail of tourists, and no one but Capt. Hance, who knows every crook and cranny of the giant cut would have discovered the de posit. Capitalists are now building trails and doing development work to render the property more easily reached. \. Mining Review.
