MEXICAN VOTE SMALL
Only a Little More Than l2 Per
 Cent of Whole Vote

The joint statehood papers of this territory and those of New Mexico have been assuming that the Mexi- can vote of this territory will be cast for jointure and they have as sumed that the Mexican vote is about 4O per cent of the whole vote of Arizona. As it is quite improb able that greater percentage of the vote of the Mexicans will be cast for jointure than that of the So-called American vote it is mat ter of importance what the ratio of he Mexican vote is to the Ameri- can vote. In this county at least it is probabl that the Mexican vote for joint statehood will be less solid than the American vote for it, says the Phoenix Republican.
 But to illustrate the inaccuracy of the joint statehood assertions and calculations some figures show ing the vote of the territory have been collected. It is found that the registered Mexican vote instead of being 40 per cent of the whole vote is only 12 66 per cent. The Mexican registration figures are ob tained by counting all Spanish names. The figures by counties are:

TERRITORIAL DEMO-
 CRATIC CONVENTION

A territorial democratic conven ton is hereby called to meet al Bisbee, on Thursday, September 6. 1906, at 12 o'clock, noon, to nomi nate a candidate for delegate to congress for the territory of Ari zcna and to select a territorial cen lral committee and chairman and s, cretary of said committee. and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come be ore the convention.
 All. democrats, independent and progressive citizens of the territory irrespective of former politica affil iations. and who, in addition, are unalterably opposed to Arizona be ing joined to New Mexico to be- come one state. and who can unite with us in an effort for honest, eco nomical. constitutional government. are cordially invited to join with us in selecting and sending dele gates to said convention.
 Delegates to the territorial con vention may be chosen in the sev- eral counties by regular county conventions called and held-or they may be appointed ny the re spective county central committees. However, it is suggested and urged that in each instance such territo- rial delegates be chosen by regular county conventions, the deiegat tes to which are to be selected by pri maries, to the end that every per son and the whole people of the territory may be afforded an op portunity of giving the fullest ex- pression of their views through such delegates as they may select to represent them.
 The number of delegates by coun ties which each county is entitled to send to the territorial convention is as follows, based upon one dele gate for every fifty votes or fraction over twenty-five cast for Hon. NJ. A. Smith in 1904:

A Mining Revival

The first of the week E. G. Du Bois and the NEWS editor made a trip out to Bass station on the Can yon. road to look over the new cop per strike recently made by San ford Rowe. Mir. Rowe extended tn, courtesy of his camp and Mir. Bass that of his hotel. so that we were we'll cared for. A visit to the work ings of Mir. Rowe revealed the fact that he has property which seems to be good one. On one claim he is having work done on two sides of small hill and the ore body seems to be pitching into the hill at an angle that looks promising Mir. Rowe feels satisfied that when the two cuts. or tunnels. as they will eventually become. meet, h- will have a bonanza At present he has only three men employed bat is making arrangements to establish permanent camp and increase his working force. He has had number of assays made ana they show such values that he ays it looks better to him than his farm back in Oklahoma, and will give his whole attention to developing the claims. A number of claims have been located in the immediate neighborhood. and it is possible that there will be quite a revival out that way in the near future That section has been little pros pected and what work has been done has been done in very de- sultory ma manner-some claims show ing as many as seven or eight shal low holes with nothing in them while had all the work been done in one place something might have been developed.

 All railroads have been requested to make reduced rates for this con vention, and if no special rates are in force when delegates leave for the convention they should take receipts for money paid so that if possible the matter can be arranged for return transportation.
 A full atten dance of delegates is desired, as we'll as the presence of representative republicans from e. cry part of the territory.

BEER CHECKS ILLEGAL
Secret Service Issues Order to Call
 in Devices Used as Change

{, The United States secret servit e agents have been ordered to ser> e notifica tion on various business en- terprises that have employed trade checks in lieu of small change that such conduct is illegal under the federal statute defining and pro- hihiting counterfeiling, at the sa me time ordering the calling in of all such outstanding cheeks immedi- ately.
 The statute extends further than the common drink check in it's pro visions. It is illegal to employ the design and inscription of piece of federal coinage for advertising pur- poses, whether it be stamped on meta or it's compounds. upon paper, leather or other available mate rials
 These trade checks, to come un- der the provisions of the federal law, are net necessarily made of metal or in the shape. form or de- sign of federal money. Any token. device, cardboard, note or what not that is caused to circulate as he dium of exchange of small value is prescribed by the stat
 The statute prohibits the ex change of these checks regardless of the device or inscription they bear. There is one kind, however, of which the manufacture is illegal, according to the secret service agent, and that designates the value of the check ir trade, merchandise, drink, or whatever the case may be. The drink check that says "Good for 123c in trade," is manufactured illegally The check that merely bears the advertisement of the en- terprise issuing it can be used for advertising purposes so long as i, is not employed to take the place of money or is not redeemed ill purchasable articles or favors on presenta ton.
 No time limit has been fixed by the secret service, but the checks will have to be ca He'd in as soon as possible. The statute fixes heavy penalty for the violation of the law in this respect, the maximum of which carries not only fine but term of imprisonment.-Albuquer- que Journal.

There has been more money spent here in Williams during the past summer in making repairs to build ings. having them painted, and otherwise improving property than ever before. This speaks well for the town and shows that the people have faith in it. There is TO boom on, but the growth goes steadily and the prospects were never brighter.
