The Douglas International American says: "We have never heard of man in Cochise county who openly advocated joint state hood" THE OASIS will inform it's esteemed contemporary of one right now: Mir. P. B. Soto, of the we'll known commercial house of Soto Brothers of Wilcox. is an ardent advocate ot jointure; and in Tucson last Sunday morning THE OASIS editor heard MT. Soto so declare himself to Mr. w. B. Cleary of Phoenix, the chief mis- informant of the Anti, ,Joint-State- hood League. Moreover MT. Soto stated to Mr. Cleary that large majority of the business men of Wilcox openly support jointure; and he expressed m opinion that if given an opportunity to vote for state constitution the people of Arizona will adopt one by an over. whelming majority.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

Recently there appeared in one of the Los Angeles dailies an in- terview with Colonel Epes Ram dolh of Tucson, in which the gentleman took most pronounced ground against jointure for New Mexico and Arizona. One of his most emphatic points was that he could not advise investment of capital in a state that is controlled by Mexicans, as will be the new proposed state, and that until the menace of joint-statehood has passed important and heavy in- vestments in Arizona. which had been referred to him for approval, will be withheld; and if jointure prevails they will be entirely abandoned.
 Now then beside controlling important investments in Arizona, Colonel Randolph controls i'm portant investments in the Mexi- can state of Sonora. Yet he does not hestitate to recommend in- vestment of capital in that state, which is controlled entirely by Mexicans. He is president of the Cananea, Yaqui River < Pacific Railway, a corporation which is building railway lines in Sonora right now, and has perfected plans to gridiron the state with new railway lines. He is president of the Llanos de Orc Placer Mining Co.,, which is developing great properties in the Altar district of Sonora; and he has not hesitated to recommend investment of capi tai in that great enterprise, which is destined to prove one of the greatest gold producers upon the continent. Besides that he is re- pnted to have secured valuable mining properties along the Yaqui| river, in development of which he will doubtless recommend invest ment of capital. Now all these vast interests in Sonora controlled by Colonel Randolph, are at the mercy of state officials in Sonora, who are all Mexicans, just as much as would be the great in- terests in Arizona under the con- trol of Mexican officials at Santa Fe, should jointure prevail. More 50; for some of the officials in the new state will be Americans. Colonel Randolph has no fear in trusting to Mexican officers in So- nora all of his vast interests and hestitates not at recommending in- vestment of capital therein. Then why should he draw the line against Mexican officials in the coming great state of Arizona? Surely if can trust them in Sonora he can do so in Arizona.

THOSE upon the other side who are desperately fighting joint statehood in Congress have never yet explained how with ninety five per cent of the people of Ari- zona with them and two thirds of the people of New Mexico they so earnestly oppose sending the proposition to the polls in con- stitutional election and snow it under by an adverse vote.

Report on Mines
Il. s. INSPECTOR MAKES
REPORT
of Mineral PrOduction;Other
Statistics of Indian
Territory.
special to Dally Leader.


South McAlester, T. T., Jau. 25.-
The annual report Of Wn. Cameron.
federal minc Inspector Of indian ter
ritory for tie year 1904, has just beel
issued.
IT reports the FIRST half of the year
as showing a large increase in The pro.
luction of coal. while the last half was
not M to expectations the reason as
slqnel being the short cotton cop and
the heavy purchases of coal made early
in anticipation of advanced prices az
severe winter Had :he last half Of
the vet- equaied the first half tho Pre-.
duction for the year would have reach
ed the four million mark
A serious cu-tailmcnt Of the product
was caused by the excessive rains IN
the early part Of June last. just when
the n,arget was recovering. Many q
the largest mines wore flooded and the
losses heavy notwithstanding these
draw bacls the total production fcr
the current year amounted TO 3.S2O,00e
tons The total increase over 1893
was 3e,s95 tons.
There are now in operation in In
dian territory 1i6 mines, while large
number Of small operations are being
worked on permits. The advent Of
numerous railroads is constantly de-
veloping fields that could not hereto
fore be prohtably worried.
During the rast year 90 accidents
were Investigated by the inspector
Some Of these accidents have beer
caused by gas explosions but since the
adoption of new rules for mine ventlla-
ticu it is believed that accidents Of
this character will be greatly lessened.
A notable feature Of this years re-
pot is the considerable number Of
men and boys employed, which is as
follows:
over JIG wears, underground ..7O59
Under 1G years underground . 49,
over IS years. above ground ...1,os:
Cnder 1G years, above ground ~ g.,
iotal ..-. .-.,.... ..-.... S,2hD
These figures show - increase Of @.
0Ce men and boys over 1867. The rea-
sons assigned for the increase Of en-
ployees which is not in proportion with
the increase OF coal production is ex-
piainod by The Inspector to have been
caused by the shortenng OF hours and
the good prices paid.
Coke Production.
The production OF coke IN indian
territory for 1902 was 52,625 tons. inc
production for l9l4i was 50.2iO. show.
in go decrease oE2,4i5 tons. This is
accounted for bv the higi price paie
for slack and the recently increased
competition Of eastern manufacturers.
The lnspeetos declares tnet indian ter
lit1sy coal has excellent coldag quail
ties and should be largely developed
There are but four companies CONDUCT
ing coke ovens at Howe and Anderson
The Usage Coal & Mining Co. has 80
ovens az Krebs that produced twice as
much as the FIRST mentioned concern.

CABLE CHESS MATCH =
NOW SEEMS CERTAIN

NEW YORK, September 2.-As a result
of recent efforts made to arrange a meet
ing between American and German chess
players by means of the Atlantic cable,
there now seems likelihood of such
match being brought about at an early
date, thanks to the assistance of the
German embassy.
The difficulty which heretofore has stood
in the way of such an undertaking was
the fact that the German government con-
trolls the land wires, without which no d-
rect connection could be made over the
Atlantic cables. Application to Baron
Speck Won Sternburg, the German ambassa-
dor at Washington, caused the latter to
approach his government on the subject
and letter has been received by him
from the imperial postmaster gra nting the
use of the telegraph wires for such a pur-
pose, whenever arrangements may have
been completed.
a communication from Baron Won Dem
Busche, the German charge d'affares, at
present at LenoX, Mass, setting forth this
information, is in the hands of the Man.
haitian Chess Clubs board of directors,
who will meet next Tuesday when the
question will be thoroughly discussed and
action taken to open negotiations with
the Berlin Chess Club.
