THE ARIZONA MINERS
 FORM ORGANIZATION
First Annual Meeting Will Be Held in Bisbee, April, I9O6-Lines
 Broad and Comprehensive

The Arizona Miners Association has been formed under most favorpble cir cumstances, and is destined to grow into powerful factor for good to all mining interests of the territory-ou chief reliance for future opulence.
 The officers elected are energetic workers, deeply imbued with the value of combined effort in placing Arizona where she belongs-at the head of copper production in the world.
 The following account of the proceed ings is from the Phoenix Enterprise:
 No longer must the mining men of Arizona look to outsiders to take care of their interests, promote them, or extend supervising influence. When adjournment was taken about l o'clock this afternoon the Arizona Miners Association had been born under cir cumstances more favorable than most organizations of similar kind.
 Since the recent American Mining congress was held in Fl Paso, the organization of territorial congress has been made the aim of several of Arizona's best citizens, the leader being Charles H. Akers, of Phoenix.
 With much better attendance than had been hoped for, the first meeting was held last night, E. A. Haggott of Yavapai being made temporary chair man, and Akers temporary secretary. Addresses were delivered then by George PurGy Bullard, w. B. Cleary, General Sampson, United States Mar shal H. z. Osborne, the latter two from California. Last nights meeting adjourned until this morning at the board of trade rooms, with fine body of men present. They were men who speak for and work for the betterment of the mining industry in every county in Arizona.
 At the morning session Chairman RaIston, of the committee on perman- eIl OiBdilEdliOH anu OIucI Ol DuSlfleSS, read his report. It included the con- stitution and bylaws, which are modelled after those of the California Miners association. It was provided that the organization shall date from January l, 1906. The initiation fee for new members was fixed at ST. and the annual dues at $l. A short recess was here taken to enroll members. Eighty three signed the roll.
 Nominations for officers were closed and vote taken as follows: C. NJ. Shannon for president 26; Col. Epes Randolph Is. On motion of Akers Shannon's election was made unani-

FEATHER WAIT 20 YEARS
Prof. Douglas Talks Plainly to the
 Public in an Interview

In a published interview gwen in New York city December 29, Professor James Douglas, who is executive head of tSe mining enterprises in Arizona grouped as the Phelps Dodge company interests, is quoted regarding his views upon joint statehood of Arizona and New Mexico. Prof. Douglas said among other things:
 '"To force Arizona into union with New Mexico is to do great wrong to the people of the former territory, who in racial antetedents, religious prefer ences and industrial interests are to- tally unlike the inhabitants of New Mexico.
 New Mexico's population is sufii- cient to justify her admission as a single state and the people of Arizona, among whom l have spent 20 years, would rather wait 20 years for state hood than be joined to New Mexico. Y"

nous, and upon taking the chair he responded briefly to the honor.
 MT. Bullard then nominated c. H. Akers for permanent secretary. He was liven the place by exclamation. w. B. Clearv nominated w. H. Brophy Of Bisbee for treasurer, and there was no opposition to his being given this important post.
 Ralston, Osborne and State Senator Vorhies of California were made the first honorary members of the mining organization. Shannon, as chairman Of the committee on anti-joint state hood, called Dr. Ford to the chair and read resolutions strongly denouncing the jointure.
 N. E. Baily, member of the last legislature from Cochise, moved that the first annual meeting of the associa- tion be held in Bisbee, and that thriv- ing copper camp Was selected by exclamation. After considerable dis cussion and many suggestions, the time for holding the meeting was fixed for the second Monday in April.
 Chairman E. A. Spaulding read the report of the committee on resolutions, which asked for the creation of a department of mines, and member of the cabinet. Other resolutions deal with mining subjects.
 The executive committee selected, one from each county, is as follows: Yavapai, E. A. Haggott; Graham, Lamar Cobb; Mohave, A. H. Smith; Gila, s. L. Gibson; Maricopa, C. M. Clark; Pinal, w. B. Twitchell; Pima, Prof. Forbes; Yuma, to be filled. Santa Cruz, E. L. Grower; Cochise, Walter Douglas; Navajo, Burbage; Coconino, T. E. Pollock; Apache, J. c. Hogue.
 Globe people will note with great satisfaction that Sam L. Gibson was appointed member of the executive committee for Gi!a county. His plans are all mapped out for securing the largest possible membership, and the Gila Monster Copper District will be in the front row of benches at the first meeting in Bisbee. A meeting of the executive committee is to be held in Phoeniq December IS, and hustle will be the order of business from this time forth.

Track Between El Paso and Benson
 Rock Ballasted.

When the Southern Pacific completes work under contemplation, the track west of this city will compare more than favorably with any stretch of track in the west. It is the intention of the officials of the company to ballast the track with rock for the entire dis tance from Fl Paso to Benson.
 For this purpose three work trains will be put on and stone will be taken out of the quarry near Stems Pass. There is plenty of rock to be had there and large force of workmen will be employed in the quarry.

A CHANGE.

The Chicago Tribune reports that
the interstate commerce commission
has arrived at the conclusion that un.
der the provisions OF the rate bill moth,
ing but money can be received by the
railroads for transportation. This rul,
ing, 1t is stated, will do away with the
exchange OF advertising for mileage, a
custom that is now practiced through
out the United States. AS The Repub.
lican views this matter, 1t will be a
godsend to the papers. AS n general
proposition the established newspaper
gives full value in advertising for a
great deal OF transportation that is new.
err used.
Under the new system If roads de
sire advertising they will pay for it
and IL editors or publishers desire to
ride on the railroads they will pay
their fares. Possibly they will not
ride so mush as in the past, but even
this will be a decided advantage tc
them, as they will save the other ex.
penses incident to travelling about and
will at the same time be able to &C,
complish more by giving closer atten.
ton to business. They will also have
more advertising space to sell for
cash.
Would that the interstate commerce
commission had the power to abolish
free tickets to shows, lectures, etc.
in order that the editor might be re,
lieved of the odium Of being looked up
on as a beggar In this respect. The
newspaper man usually gives in ad
vertising about three times the value
of the tickets he gets. 1t is n system
that should be done away with as
speedily as possible.
The change of the railroad policy
through the ruling of the commerce
commission will be gratifying to the
real newspaper men, and will be a dis.
tnct advantage to the railroads too
for the reason that 1t will relieve then
OF the petty graft practiced by hun
dreds and thousands of in@consequent

FALSIFYING THE RECORD.

1t is hard to combat the statements
Of a man who does not stick to the
truth, who persists in laying a false
foundation for every argument he ad.
vances. This fact is forcibly called to
mind by the following statement from
the Wind River Mo~untaineer:
On the front page of this issue Will
be seen the Il n a short description
OF the Pathfinder dam, at present be.
ing constructed in the North Platte
canyon, about t~hirty-five miles south
west Of Casper. The United States
government in inaugurating this ex.
tensiye plans for ~irrigating certain
portions of the arid west first ascer-
famed the cost of the construction of
the dams, bitches and laterals, and
then the amount of land that could be
irrigated by each particular ENTERPRISE.
thus determining exactly what it would
cost the settlers to come in under She
government bitches and take water
1t is the intention of the government
that the United States treasury should
receive back what 1t had paid for these
particular irrigation enterprises in the
west. The Wyoming state officials in
turning over to the Chicago wa.er Gem
pany the water for the reservation at
first made the same assertion, thar the
cost of irrigating the land on the reser-
walton would be only large enough to
cover the cost The government has
figured out that the stupendous North
Platte or Pathfinder project will cost
$40 an acre for the water, and the
Central Wyoming Irrigation company
have figured out that it will cost from
$40 to $50 on acre TO irrigate land on
the reservation, where engineers have
at almost about one-fourth the cost.
Who Is right"
Same old democratic tactics. Always
a false basis for their arguments. At
no time has the government figured
that the cost of the water under the
Pathfinder project would be less than
$50 per acre and it is now understood
that it will be s35. Under the con
tract made by the state officials, settlers
on the Shoshone reservation may get
their water for $50 per acre if they
choose to pay cash, and this is under
stood to be as favorable as any con.
tract ave let in the history of irriga.
ton PROTECTS in America. If the Noun,
taineer or the democratic leaders OF
Wyoming know OF a more favorable
contract, let them produce the facts
and not continue to attempt to deceive
the people by their narrow, illogical,
pessimistic walls.

plates the storing of approximately 800,

storage means the construction of
large reservoirs. Substantial dams
are expensive and State Engineer John
