ASK M'CAMISH TO QUIT.
Kansas City, Kan, Business Men Want
Prohibition Law Disregarded.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 17.-Nine bus
mess men in this city visited w. H Nc
Canlish, assistant attorney general in
Wyandotte county, and made the re-
quest that he either resign on cease his
efforts to enforce the prohibition law.
Mr. McCamish was appointed upon the
recommendation Of Governor Hoch and
assigned the duty of closing the saloons
in this city. He told the delegation that
he would increase his efforts to enforce
the prohibition law.
The business men who called on Mr..
Mechanism Tuesday were: Harry Darby
Of the Darby Boiler works: T. w. New
ton of the Dengel- Newton Shoe COM
pany; u. F. Wilmer of the wilmer Fur
niture company; Edward Daniels of
Daniels & Comfort, undertakers; G. n.
Leinbach of the Leinbaeh Wall Paper
company; c. N. Prouty, cashier of the
Home State bank; William F'irstinber-
ger, a merchant; F. S. Edwards, cigar
manufa cturer, and F. L. Martin, prcpTi-
etor of a laundry.
The business men told Mr. Mechanism
that the law enforcement campaign had
not resulted in closing the saloons, but
had taken a large amount of revenue
from the city treasury and had injured
the business of the merchants They
told Mr.. MECHANISM that Kansas City,
Kan. was so close to Kansas City, Mo.
that to have open saloons on the Mis-
souri, side of the state line and a law
enforcement on the Kansas side of the
state line only resulted in demoralizing
business on the Kansas side and accom-
plished no material good.
Mr.. Mechanism told the business men
that the system Ofcollecting revenue from
unlawful places could not result in any
benefit to this city, and that instead of
the revenue collected from Joints 3"
lessening the burdens of taxation. the
rate of taxation had increased as the
number of Joints" increased. He told
them that the good name of the city
and the spirit of good citizenship de
manded that the laws be enforced.
Several petitions are being circulated
today among business men calling on
Governor Hoch to cease his efforts to
enforce the prohibition law in Wyan-
dotte county. 1t is said that these Pc
titions will be presented to Governor
Hoch when he comes to this city to
be present tonight at the Mercantile
clubs banquet, where he is to be the
guest of honor.
so far as am concerned / shall close
the Joints and keep them closed If it
takes all the summer to do it. said Mr.
MECHANISM. assistant attorney general,
this morning THE jointkeepers will not
have everything their own way.

SAND BAR DOES IT.
Responsible for shuBganunga Floods,
Says c. r. Jones.

A sand bar at the mouth of the Shun-
ganunga creek is the cause for the high
water and the foods which the bottoms
surrounding the creek have experienced
in late years, according to the theory adj
vanced by c. r. Jones.
foods said c. r. Jones, land 7 have
discovered that the floods have been in
creasing in number and size of late years.
I feel assured that this is due to the fact
that the outlet of the creek is stopped up
by a large sand bar. I would gladly give
from $50 to S100 towards securing the ex-
cavation of the mouth of the channel and
the removal a the sand bar so that the
water may have "a free outlet, and there
are many others who would do the
same.

In a personal letter from Calumet, Michigan. A. M. Mackenzie. financial agent for mining companies says in part:
 T am confident that you believe that I am with Arizona heart and soul in her present fight for single state hood. The enclosed clipping from the Hancock Daily Journal evidences in part the sentiment of the copper country men who are financially in terested in Arizona, and you know such persons are very numerous.
 'T know it will be cheering to your readers to know that there is a strong sentiment here in favor of single state hood for Arizona and 1 can assure
 you that I will at the first opportunity, gather up all possible evidence of this
 sentiment and place it where it will
 be most effective for Arizona's wei fare.
 Arizona is well liked here and
 Michigan people have cause to be
 proud of that territory, for though for
 bidding in appearance perhaps. to the |uninformed visitors. our people know
 well That both aSSove and below
 ground. Arizona is more than all her people have claimed for her. q expect to bring to Arizona and Sonora early next month very large
 party of the best class of business men and mining men. On this occasion I intend to have these men go right un- derground and examine the properties they are interested in so they may actually know the facts about them. The clipping from the Journal re- ferred to by Mir. Mackenzie reads as fellows:
 Copper country people who have large interests in Arizona join the almost unanimous protest of the peo- pie of Arizona against joint statehood with New Mexico. The objection should appeal to fair minded men ev- anywhere. andl should block the plans of politicians to bring into the union a new state and new pair of United States senators under conditions al- most certain to make the event an in- jury both to the nation and to the people directily concerned. - "The mere fact that the Arizona people prefer to remain under the territorial form of government rather than accept statehood as part of the same state as New Mexico should
 be enough to defeat the statehood plans of men who have no personal interest in either territory. It seems clearly out of harmony with the spirit of democracy that a people should be forced to accept an alliance that IS ahhorrent to them.
 Nobody knows the southwest bet i ter than Charles F. Lummis. and in
 his magazine Out West, he says of joint statehood: There is no argu

REVIVAL OF AN OLD MINE

W. W. Ward, who has been spending several days in the city returned last evening to his home at Tucson. MT. Ward is one of those principally in terested in the reopening of operations on the Southern Bell mine which is located about forty-five miles out from Tucson. TlIe property was worked from 1885 to 1897 by A. H. Fellows and later tied up in litigation in connec- tion with the administration of his es- tate, he having died in the last year named. On the 29th of December the estate was closed and Mir. Ward interested Philadelphia capital in the property. There are seven patented claims in the group the principal work having been done on the Southern Bell claim All that will be necessary to resume operations is the possible re- fimbering of the main shaft and in- stalling some new machinery although the old stamp mill will be used. Two and a half miles of new pipe line will have been completed by the middle of April. J. Knox Corbett and Ros- COG Dale are other Arizonans interest ed in the property.

FINAL MINING ACTIVITY
A New concentrator for the Big Lead
 Mining G SmeIting Company.

W. B. Twitchell, general manager of the Big Lead Mining and Smelling company near Kelvin was in the city yesterday arranging for machinery for a 100 ton concentrating plant which will be put up as soon as possible. Some publication was made a short time ago of the operations of the kel- win Reduction company. This com pany is operating on leased property of the Big Lead Mining and Smelling company. 1t will be remembered that the Kelvin Reduction company had just installed and set in motion the Macintosh teaching process which was working more satisfactorily than if would.
 Speaking of it yesterday MT. Twitch- ell said that the longer the process IS tried the more apparent it is that a new era has come in the reduction Of ores. At present though the process is not in operation but it will be in the course of a week It was found necessary to remodel the foundation for the rollers. It had been made of brick, but after a run of few days it was found that the brick was crumb- ling under the tremendous vibration.
 l. was then decided to remove the brick and replace it with cement That has already been done but it will take nearly a week longer for the cement to harden sufficiently.
 Mir. Twitcheli Is brother of Col Twitchell of Las Vegas, N. N, who was the recipient of letter from Col. Roosevelt in September, 1909, in which he expressed the friendliest feeling for New Mexico and promised to render all the assistance possible in the effort of it's citizens to break into the sisterhood of states because he believed at that time that New Mexico was amply entitled to state Aeod.

ment which any scholar of history or statistics would for a moment proffer in favor of joint statehood. The only reason why it is attempted to be per petrated Is selfish ignorance on one side and selfish timidity on the other
 New Mexico is very far from being proper material for statehood, either singly or in conjunction with a more favorably situated territory like Ari- zCna. If Arizona is not fitted for statehood alone, it will be far better to let her wait until she is, than to force upon her statehood accompanied by compulsory association with such a land as New Mexico.

SHANNON.

There has been some little decline in Shannon this week, due to scatter ed selling by disgusted holders who feel that they can make more money sn other stocks.
 We believe that the vicissitudes of the company are things of the past; that while we do not anticipate any big advance in the stock or any big earnings, we do think that at the pres ent low price there is very little risk in purchasing 1t, as the company IS doing moderately well, reducing its bonded indebtedness annually and h. creasing its plant and cash resources.
 We understand that the new con verter will be blown in the 2oth Of thas 2enth.

MARKET GOSSIP.
There Was Plenty Doing Yesterday.

The market yesterday was anything but quiet, there being a goodly amount of trading, with prices on the upward move. It was a good opening as well as a favorable closing for the session, and the tenden- cy is entirely for the better. P. & D., Keweenaw and c. & P. were in greater demand than any of the other stocks, and E.. Butte is also being picked up at asked prices. The lower pric- ed stocks On the list are being somewhat neglected for the present. A general advance sc- companied by greater activity is anticipated for at least the remainder of the week.

At a meeting held last night at the offices of Pritchard, Hagen & O., the Cochise Prospecting, Mining & Devel opment Co. was reorganized under the name of the Brooks Consolidated Cop
 per Go. The latter name Is one un- der which the company has perfected organization in Mexico.
 Articles of incorporation of the new
 company will be sent to Tombstone and Phoenix today for record, follow ing which steps the stockholders of the company will meet to elect officers and thereafter to arrange for develop
 ment work it is proposed to do on the
 property. The latter is about thirty
 miles from Cananea. Splendid sur
 face indications abound for large and
 rich copper deposits. To the present time the ground has been prospected only in a small way. Cuts that have been made, however, on the ledge have shown copper values at the surface to
 extent to give reason for expectation of rich ore at depth. About 100 acres are held by the company in the Ajo mountains. The ground IS pretty well known as the Berkovitz property. Under the articles of incorporation that have been adopted the company lis capitalized for one million do.la.s in shares of par value of s1 each. So far the company is practically bold ing organization composed of seven teen members. Following the com pletion of organization a portion of the treasury stock will probably be is sued for the purpose Of securing mon ey for development.

lBY Frank J. Grail

Fl Bisbee, Jan. l6.
 We had a very cratic market today opening with strong bids and no of fers, leading one to believe that the day would be 8 good one for local stocks. However, to the contrary, the market was SO sensitive that as Soon as few selling orders were plac- ed on the marke there were no buyers, and the market bare.
 The principal feature in today's mar ket was Warren. The demand for this stock was good, and none was of fered under s14.75. A few shares were bought early in the morning at Si4.50, but late tonight we are still in the market for good block at s14.75
 Calumet & Pittsburg fell off and could have been bought up at S3S while yesterday you could not get it under s39. A few sales were made in Junction at s2S and in Dem at s25 Keweenaw held firm at sl7.50, while East Butte was in demand at $s.so Black Mountain had been offered at $15, with no takers. North Butte sold at s91, and closed at sS0.
 Of late it looks as though our mar ket was getting more sensitive than ever, and at times an order to buy a few hundred shares will start the mar ket on the advance, and on the other hand a few hundred shares offered OF the market has tendency to depress the same. This, however, does not effect the value of stocks and we wculd advise buyers to take advantage sf all fhasa suAden declines and picE rp on the advance.
