New Mexico Badly Split on Statehood
Question.

Far-seeing leaders Of the tepubli-
can party, the meh who have held
positions as leaders for many years,
do not hesitate to sound a very def
mite warning to the friends of state
hood for New Mexico in view of the
present outlook for joint statehood
as they see it. Since the republican
committee meeting some of the re-
publican leaders have been talking
out in meeting. In fact some of
them talked right out in the COM
mittee meeting and what they had to
say was warning enough. 1t was
plain from these expressions that
certain of the northern counties
were not to be considered safely for
Joint statehood and since the meet
ing this impression has had ample
confirmation. Mora county demo-
Gratis have Endorsed joint statehood,
but the democrats in Nora county
are hardly in controlling position.
The republicans may endorse Joint
statehood but it is considered doubt
full. San Miguel county, in spite of
the fact that in Las Vegas joint
statehood sentiment is strong, will
hardly give the party endorsement
to statehood, while Taos and Rio
Arriba counties are thought to be in
the ranks of the opposition. There
is already talk of an understanding
which may cut Il figure in the repub-
lican convention. While New Mex
leo friends of statehood have been
doing nothing, the Arizona enemies
of statehood have been at work and
they have been working vigorously.
In SandOval county it is said that
the two factions of the Sandoval
family who control the county, have
patched up a truce in order to work
better for statehood. There are
people who say a truce has been
patched up to work better against
statehood. Neither report has any
confirmation and it is doubtful if

Ash Peak Mining Company Add to
HOLDINGS.

In Ell Paso last week a group of
mines were sold to the Ash Peak
Mining company by T. o. Phillips, B.
B. Adams and Sid Howard. The
mines are located in the Ash Peak
district and adjoin claims already
owned by the purchasing company.
The sale is based on bond and
lease, though a good cash payment
has been made. Work will begin on
the property at once. The Ash Peak
Mining company have for some time
been shipping ore to the Shannon
smelter at Clifton and the recent
purchase of more claims there shows
that they have much faith in the
Ash Peak district.
The price paid for the mines last
week was $4,000. On one of the
claims included in the purchase an
important strike was recently made.

Have You Sent Your Dollar?

To the Republicans of Arizona:
We are anxious to have every re-
publican in the territory in close
touch with the republican territorial
committee, and working with US in
favor of the election of Hon. Will
liam F. Cooper as delegate to con-
gress.
The principles of the republican
party in Arizona have been laid
down in the platform adopted at the
republican convention held at Bis
bee, and Mr.. Cooper's personality
must be a central figure in this cam
paign.
We desire to maintain the work of
the campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar from republi-
cans in Arizona. To each subscriber
we will send a Cooper badge.
Let every republican help the
party in Arizona to achieve a great
victory.

there is any truce for either purpose,
but the story has served to bring out
the fact that there is a strong senti-
ment in Sandoval county against
Joint statehood and that stories Of
disfrahchisehent and all the othet
ahti-statehood bngaboos are being
industriohsly circulated BY word. Of
in63th and in printed matter. Who
is behind this agitation is something
not very definitely, established bit
hand either at home or abroad,
thoroughly familiar with the native
people, is directing it, and the agita-
ton is not confined to Sandoval
county.
Discussing the statehood outlook, a
prominent republican, one who has
been recognized as leader for many
years, sounded a word of warming to
the friends of statehood.
''Work will have to be done ii we
are to return a majority for state
hood in New Mexico" he said. 81
believe that the territory is safely
for Joint statehoodi but we who favor
it are doing nothing, while the
opposition Is hard at work ard is
losing no time. Or course it will be
difficult to do much in the way of an
organized campaign until after the
convention, but even now the friends
of statehood could be doing a great
deal of work, for their cause, just as
the opponents of statehood are do
ing for their. The impression that
New Mexico people, left alone and
without the question being ihtelli-
gently presented to them will be for
jointufe, is a mistake: The people
of-this terfitofy as a Whole no more
relish Being united with Arizona
than do the Arizonans, and it is only
because our people see the hopeless
ness of single statehood that they
can be brought to accept the other

Ell PaSO Business Men Plan a Big
Excursion.

1t is quite probable that Arizona
cities will be visited by a big trade
excursion of Ell Paso business men
in the month of October. The
chamber of commerce of that city
has been hammering away on the
proposition for some time ard it is
now announced that the excursion
is go providing the railroads can do
the right thing under the new law,
The committee is now figuring on
what rates can be obtained from the
railroad companies over which they
propose to travel. 1t is said that the
Southwestern road will doubtless
grant free transportation to the
done without any conflict with the
interstate law, The Southwestern
last year offered free transportation
to the business men for an excursion.
The itinerary has net been decided
on as the rates that will be obtained
from the other lines are not yet
known. AS soon as the special rates
are known the cost of the trip will
be figured out and the route the
excursion will cover will depend on
the expense of the trip.
The plan is to go as far west as
Cananea where the mines of that
section will be looked over The
excursion will be taken some time
in the month of October.-American

STOCK is IN TRUST
Continued from page ~

Of Ottumwa at the city hall this morn
ing it was practically agreed that the
stove company would withdraw the
suit against the Janney company so as
to leave that company free to sell the
building to G. B. and F. w. Simmons
Messrs. Simmons represent the Amer
lean Mining Tool company which is
to occupy a portion Of the building If
the deal is successful They have
made very liberal proposition to the
stove company for the sale of part of
the buildings, which will afford ample
room for both companies.
At the meeting this morning the
committee which has been carrying on
the negotiations. regarding the re-
moval of the stove company to this
city was relieved from further duty.
and the matter will be recon.
mended to the Ottumwa Commercial
association. 1t is considered that the
proposition which is now submitted is
far more advantageous to the Ottum-
wa stockholders than any yet pro
posed. No definite action is to be
taken until the ownership of the Jan
ney buildings is settled.
