FOR TWO NEW STATES
NEW MEXICO TO COME IN ALONE
statehood Bill AZ Passed by the Senate
consoiidates Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as the State Of okla
homa and Admits New
Mexico Separately.

Mexico Separately.
Washington, Feb. S-After 4 con
tinuous sitting of almost nine hours
the Senate at S:45 o'clock last night
passed the joint statehood bill. AS
passed the bill provides for the admis-
sion of the state of Oklahoma. to be
composed of Oklahoma and Indian Ter.
ritory; and New Mexico. according to
the present boundaries. with Arizona
eliminated.
The long session was characterized
by many surprises. Beginning promptly
upon the convening at u O'Clock.
the Senate proceeded to consider the
various amendments which had been
suggested by the committee on terri
tories and which had been passed over.
One OF the first Of these taken up was
the amendment prohibiting the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors in what Is now the
indian Territory for the next ten years
and this was displaced by substitute
offered by Mr.. Gallinger. which ex-
tended the prohibition to the entire
state for twenty-one years.
The substitute was carried by vote
OF So to 20. There was no division on
party lines on the vote.
The first surprise came when the
committee accepted Mr.. Foraker's
amendment providing for q separate
vote by each OF the territories of Ari-
zona and New Mexico on the constitu-
tion to be adopted by the proposed
state of Arizona That provision had
scarcely been made part OF the Dill
when Mr.. Bard presented his amend
nent, which had originally been Of
fered by Mr.. Patterson, and which pro-
Wided for the admission of New Mexico
as a state without the addition OF Ari-
zona. This amendment proved to be
the point around which all the subse-
quent proceedings of Importance re-
volved It was at first adopted by
close vote of AZ to 40. This vote was
taken while the Senate was sitting in
committee of the whole and was re-
yersed in the Senate proper by the tie
vote of 38 to 3S.
Subsequently the Senate decided by
a vote Of SO to SO to entirely eliminate
New Mexico and Arizona from the Dill
and this result had hardly been an
nounced when Mr.. Bard. in slightly
changed form. renewed his proposition
for the admission OF New Mexico as
state, and this time the amendmeht
prevailed by the vote of 40 to 81. one
OF the Affirmative votes was. however.
cast by Mr.. Beveridge. in charge OF the
bill. for the purpose OF moving the re-
consideration Of the vote. He was
prompt in entering the motion as soon
az the result was Gnnounced, but his
motion was laid on the table by vote
of 80 to 3S. The effect was to elimfn-
ate Arizona from the bill and to estab-
lish a state Of New Mexico and an
other of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. In this form the bill was passed
The vote on the amendment for the
separate admission of New Mexico was

The bill as amended passed without
division. 1t originated in the HOUSE
and will therefore have TO go to con

 system of development much larger than he was expecting a month ago. The tents, tools and all the parapher- nalia for large camp to be erected at
 the Oriental site. seven miles east Of | Cave Creek station, are now being hauled up from Phoenix. Some time
 during the winter so many carloads of ore as will make a sure test will be taken out and shipped to Fl Paso If 1 that shall prove satisfactory (and that is already q foregone conclusion) q mill will be erected on the grounds ear ly next year.
 MT Smurthwaite. president of the Grand Traverse and Arizona Mining company, whose properties on the east of Gold Hill, have been in development for three winters past, and all of this past summer, writes that he and an expert mining and mill man will arrive there by Dec. 21, to resume operations on a greater scale than heretofore. Mir. Withey, who is in poor health. will not come this winter.
 Mir. Houck has been for most of last month and is yet, sending up loads of grain and hay to fill his warehouse be- fore the sheep herds arrive So far aS Csili tc lOIeSeeil HOW, as Iltily SHeSp will be here as last winter. After the sheep men are all here much of his stock of grain. hay and groceries will be on the road. One load is no sooner under cover and in place than it's pass ing out begins. The consuming capa- city of a 10000 head of sheep, or rather of the attending herders, horses and burros is simply enormous.
 If the late floods in the Salt, Verde and Gila shall cripple irrigation for much of the coming year, Cave Creeks range resources this winter will replace much of the loss in trade, caused by the crippling of irrigation, Cave Creeks cattle. sheep and mining can make up for all the irrigation in the valley if those resources are giveI. a square deal.
 Until business becomes very brisk in the restaurant here. there will be a ball once a week, and thereafter once a fortnight. In the way of a supply store, postolfice and stage facilities, there is nothing to prevent a more agreeable winter sOjourn here. But those com ing here, must have sufficient means and strength to take care of them selves. Ire destitute and those in need of care and nursing could not come to Q worse place.

Therefore those far advanced in tuberculosis should have with them a healthy person to take ccre of them.

Since early manhood he has been in the mining regions and operated in most of the mineral bearing states. He has also been in the republic of Mex ico! At last in his fifties the chance for rest and travel came and he took it. Every year, save one, which Mir. and Mrs. Houck have lived here, they have given a Thanksgiving dinner to the people of this district. This year Mrs. Houck assisted by Mesdames Cooney, Butler and Bcline-perhaps others fed at least fifty people comprising three-fourths of the permanent and temporary population-in fact all able to get to 1t. The preparation and dis play of it were as satisfying in quality and quantity as the viands themselves.

DEATH OF PARALYSIS
Brought on Year Agos by Arsenical
 Poisoning.

George F. Breninger, died yesterday afternoon at lis home on North Sixth avenue after an extended period of poor health and a final acute illness of sometime His death was due to paralysis induced by arsenical poison ing that resulted from his years of work in the business of taxider1ny. He suffered three strokes of paralysis, somewhat widely separated, but was not in the best of health for some years past.
 The dead man was a most estimable gentleman, honored and respected by all who knew him. The family has re sided in Phoenix for several years and is well known. Be is survived by Mrs. Breninger and three children. The funeral will be held this afternoon at the parlors of Merryman G Moore, at 2:30 o'clock and will be conducted by the readers of the Christian Science church.
 Mir. Breninger was widely known as an expert taxidermist and naturalist and was enthusiastic in his chosen line Of scientific investigation, for he not only made many rare collections of birds and animals but loved to study them, to read about them and to write about them. During his career he had travelled widely over the American con- tinent and was an authority on the fauna of the rocky mountain region even as far south as the isthmus, hav- ing travelled in Mexico and Central America. He had done much work for the government as represented by the Smithsonian institution and also for the Field museum. He has made and disposed of many valuable collections and at the time of his death was pos sessed of an unusually good one. Last winter he conducted a museum on West Adams street where a portion Of his collection was exhibited.

 THE MAlLS-TIe Santa Fe train yesterday morning brought in a real cargo of mail. There was the equal of two full days mails from every direction though it was more or less mixed and the quantity could not be credited to any particular days for there is still some of it overdue and some that arrived was due here a week ago. Beside the mail that pass ed through for other offices, there were sixty-two tie sacks of papers and merchandise for Phoenix. together with five leather pouches of first class matter, aggregating a stack of letters fifty feet high. It took the clerical force of the office nine hours to distri- bute the mail, though the letter mail which was handled first was all work ed before 10 o'clock yesterday morn ing, the usual Sunday hour for open ing the postoffice. The carriers on the rural routes will have the time of their lives this morning. They have the largest sorting cases of any rural carriers in the United States, owing to the fact that the routes are large and the distribution is only once a day These cases yesterday were filled to overflowing and before leaving time this morning (tnere is no Sunday de- livery), it is expected there will be another big mail to add to their pres ent accumulation.
