STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.

In placing the foregoing facts and figures before the delegates to the Eighth Annual Convention of the American Mining Congress, the Re view wishes to impress upon the dele gates the danger that threatens this mining district and every other min ing district of Arizona through the pro posed passage by Congress at its next session of a bill joining the Territo-
 ies of New Mexico and Arizona to- yether as one state. The passage Of
 his bill is opposed by every mine own TT, pTospector and mining company the Territory. Arizona is making such rapid strides in the development
 f its mines, attended by an unpre ;edented increase ir population, that
 [ is only a short time now until Ari
 >ona will possess every possible qual- fication to entitle this Territory to separate and independent statehood
 The opposition to the passage of the
 pint statehood bill is not confined to Arizona by any means. A majority # the people of New Mexico are like wise opposed to it's passage. The at tempt to join these two Territories to- :ether is a political move which should te thwarted. It is without precedent in the history of the United States government and the success Of this move would forever lose to the west, and the mining interests of the west, the representation to which this section is entitled in the Congress Of
 he United States. The joining of Arizona, whose votes could be de- pended on in the interest of those measures calculated fer the benefit of the west and it's industries. is a direct slap at the min ing industry and the west. Tn brief, it means that the east does not propose to allow the west any more representation if it can be pre- vented and the scheme for the join ing of Arizona and New Mexico to- gether was matched for this purpose.
 The Review hopes the Eighth An nual American Mining Congress will adopt strong resolutions at EI Paso this week protesting against the pas sage of the proposed joint statehood bill at the next session of Congress.

GOING TO MINE FOR A BURIED
 STAR.
Ambitious Project of New York Cap
 italists Near Canyon DiabIo.

A remarkable mining project is be- ing carried out near Diable canyon in Arizona by the Standard Iron com- pany of New York. The object of the company is to unearth and smelt a gigantic meteor which lies buried there. This meteor probably struck the earth many years ago. The In
 dians who inhabit that region have no legend of the wonderful event. The location of the meteor is marked by hole in the earth three-fourth of a mile long and coo feet deep. The surrounding country for a radius of several miles is covered by the frag- ments of this heavenly visitor. They have furnished much interesting ma terial for investigations of mineralo- gists. Some of the fragments weigh ed many tons and brought rich re- turns of silver, gold and lead when shipped to the smelter. All of the fragments that have been analysed run high in lead, silver and gold. This remarkable mineral property was acquired more than a year ago by the Standard Iron company, which be- gan tue NOEh Ol IOCdlIlS Ine ne teor by means of a shaft which it is sinking from the bottom of the great hole. This shaft has reached a depth of more than 400 feet or more than 1000 feet from the original earth's surface. The size of the meteor has been carefully calculated by scien- tific experts, who take as a basis the size of the hole which it made in the earth. Itis estimated that the gold, silver and lead which the meteor contains will amount to S13,0O0, ,OO0. The cost of mining the mineral will depend largely upon what depth it is found. It is believed that the shaft will strike the meteor at about 1.2OOI feet.
 l former days many mining pros pectors gained a good livelihood by collecting and shipping the fragments of the meteor to the smelIer. These fragments had a market value of s1 per pound in Holbrook The Indians brought in large quantities of the in the days before a railroad had been built into this region and the mineral was sent to the smelters on burroE.

 Policy of Expansion.
 As expansion is the policy of the management of Amalgamated it is be- lieved that a plan is being formulated to launch a third section of the com- pany and that United Copper and North Butte may be included. Ger tainly these two properties are geo. graphically situated so that they could be worked with great economy by the Amalgamated Company as already they are connected underground with Amalgamated mines. They would add at least 75,000,00O pounds Of cop per to the production of Amalgamat- ed and this production would be dis posed of through the Amalgamated Selling Co.

HE WISHES 10
 PAY MEXICO'S DEBT
Pedro AIVafadO Again Makes 6 FabulOuSly Rich
 Silver Strike
Chicago Record-Herald.)

City of Mexico-Pedro Alvarado, the multi-millionaire of ParraI, Mex GO, has made a new strike of almost pure silver in fabulous quantities in his Palmilla mine, and it is reported, has renewed his offer to President Oiaz to pay the public debt of Mexi- co. He says that he obtains his wealth from the ground and that he thinks the government is entitled to l good portion of it. He has just completed a palatial residence near his mine at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. There is a piano in every room. Several million dol lars of his money is said to be kept in a strong iron cage at his home, where it is constantly guarded by armed men.
 He has never permitted a mining expert to enter his mine, and no re port of it's richness has ever been made.
 AlvaradO, known as the "peon min ing king" of Mexico, four years ago worked for daily wages ranging from 37 cents to 60 cents Mexican silver His income is now estimated at S2j. 900 a day and as the owner oI the famous La Palmilla mine he is some times called a millionaire.
 Born thirty-nine years ago in the lit tie town of Parral, Chihuahua, Mexi co, his boyhood was spent in the hard est of labors continually worK1ng in the mines, with little opportunity foI education. His father belonged tG the great peOn class of Indian extrac tion, and his mother was of pure In dian origin. The boy toiled early and late for a pittance of 6 cents to 25 cents day in Mexican money.
 As he grew older he became a shit boss and later a small contractor, taking a few feet of work at a time It was Pedro's father who acquired the now famous mine, La Palmilla, by a grant from the national government obtained by the usual method. This property was all he could manage to Pay taxes on and the annual payment of $40 required by law was no small task
 It was a life struggle for the elder Alvarado as well as for Pedro, digging away with crude tools, following here and there rich streaks of ore and car rying it up notched poles in huge hags to the surface. Then loading it on a burro, they would drag it to the nearest market or smelter, per haps thirty days journey each way. Six years ago the father died, and with his last breath importuDed his son to work unceasingly, for La Pal milla would eventually prove a lucky strike.
 Threatened by the defection of his brothers-in-law, who were partners. Pedro gave leases to a number of friends in order to hurry the work of development Three years ago mat ters reached a climax, La Palmilla vindicated itself

MARK TWAIN'S
 WAY FOR PEACE
Tells BOsfOnianS Only Way is tO Extract Oxygen from
 Air for 8 Minutes

Boston, Nov. 9.-Mark Twain Sam uel L. Clemens) was the chief guest today at the meeting of the Twentieth Century Club, the chief dining and debating organization of Boston, and before the meeting was over he had stirred up somewhat of a commotion by his comments on various topics.
 Dr. Benjamin F, Trueblood, Secre- tary of the American Peace Society, and Mir. and Mrs. Edwin D. Mead, all fresh from the recent great peace meetings in Europe, were the adveI- tised speakers, but Samuel B. Pear. main, a member of the club. took Mir Clemens along with him as a guest, and of course the celebrated humorist was called on for a speech.
 After Mrs. Mead and Dr. Trueblood had talked upon the subject of univer- sal peace MT. Clemens was asked 10 speak. He said:
 This problem of universal peace used to be one of the uppermost things in my mind. I used to study over it; no. l will not say that really studied; l thought about it-how to get uniger- sal peace. It bothered me, but I kept growing nearer and neared to a solution, and at last came to 1t.
 But the very day I thought I had solved it I was summoned to the pres ence of an emperor. The first thing hQ aGlyn6 Hyac trrhof nowadays. I told him l had been working out a problem-the problem of universal peace-and that I had solved it, that I found the only way there was no other.
 Then he wanted to know how I was going to bring it about, and told him: I am going to get a chemist-a real genius-and get him to extract all the oxygen out of the atmosphere for eight minutes. Then we will have universal peace, and it will be per manent.'
 But took my goods to the wrong market. Emperors don't want peace, permanent or temporary, on any such tasis. They don't want any race suicide. What they want is people. N'AN IhSh hOIG peOple. l was pretty coolly received by this emperor and so was my proposition. And so 1 let 1t go. Every time I think I have formed solution of the difficulties some one comes along and upsets it.
 And that reminds me that five years ago China bought two German missionaries. She paid $10O,OO0 a piece for them, although they were not active at the time. But there are several hundred missionaries in China, and I'd be glad to sell 'em all at the same price. I don't be- lieve we have got down to where we want to thrust our civilization upon innocent people.
 Tn 1892 there were eleven mission aries in China and in that year they had a catch of 3,20O converts. Jud- son Smith called it a harvest There were 3,20O pagans being born every day in China, and we were converting them at the rate of two and one-half a day. So 1t would take quite a while to get syshybody converted"

The tenacity with which Amalga- mated holds around S5 gives the i'm pression that the stock is begged" at that figure for some purpose. Con sidering the present activity of the copper shares and the fact that in all the recent booms excepting the pres ent one Amalgamated was the mar ket leader, there is a suspicion that the stock is being held back for some future move, not unlikely the flota- tion of a third section.
 Amalgamated now controls the larg- est production of copper in the world and its control not only extends to production, but to all the commodities that lead up to production, as well as a selling agency that dispOses of the shelter is owned by this company: finished product. The great Washoe ccal mines that supply the fuel fer the shelter and mines machinery are owned and operated; timber is cut and finished from the company's land and an elaborate system of company stores furnishes the miners and smell ter operators with every necessity and luxury. All of these subsidia- ry enterprises are money makers for the parent company and at a low es- innate net earnings are BIO a share on the outstanding stock.
 Ire Mines 1t Controls.
 In addition to the shelter and the minor enterprises Amalgamated has the following stock ownership in the largest producing mines in the Butte district:
 Shares. AnacOnda .............-..... 62O, ,OOO Butte & Boston 200 900 Parrot ............t. 10000 Boston & Montana ..... .150 900
 Since its organization in 1899 there has been paid into the Amalgamated treasury, from the four mines above referred to, the sum of S30.000 0O0, and this sum has been practically all paid out in dividends to stockholders.
 It costs the company about 10 cents to produce it's copper and it's share of the four companies controlled is about 225,000,000 pounds a year. It is believed that the average returns for metal up to next June, the end of
