trary, they are there and millions of them. Recently the Silver City Enter prise in discussing this question, said:
 "Why should we deny the existence of these militia warrants. Everybody knows that a great many have been issued, some fraudulently, but many of them were honestly issued in payment for honest work and supplies and the territory must sooner or later take them up. When we become state a commission will be appointed to weed out the fraudulent and fund the hon. est debts."
 Does this look as though there are no warrants that the people of New Mexico are bound to pay?
 Then again, take the statement of Mir. Ainsworth that New Mexico was an agricultural country to be a fact, we disagree with him on the subject of Arizona being distinctively min ing region. Take all the mines assess ment of Arizona from off the rolls and we then would have nearly ten million dollars of assessable property in ex- cess of our sister territory. His legis- lative comparison also proves nothing. Take the conventions in our neighbor territory and the reader will readily see who runs them. Taos county re- publican convention had one white man in it, Santa Fe had about four, San Ju-an about the same number, Ber- nalillo 42 white and 70 Mexican. Among the dark counties it is questionable if there was one white man in all the con- vention gatherings of the two parties.
 But again, we say, what has all this got to do with the subject of joint state hood? Nothing whatever. Not one iota of benefit would Arizona get by a merger, and the ideals of the people would be swept away by it. Our peo- pie have built up magnificent terri tory and we do not believe they will by their votes hand it over to the domin- ition of a foreign people.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We, the representatives of the Dem- ocratic party of Mohave county, Ari- zona, in convention assembled, present our candidates to the people of Mohave county upon the following declaration of principles:
 We express our unqualified endorse ment of William Jennings Bryan as a candidate for the office of President of the United States, believing him to be a true Democrat and an unfaltering friend of the whole people.
 Second. We heartily endorse our Delegate to Congress, Mark A. Smith, and his brilliant service in behalf of our beloved Territory.
 Third. We are unalterably opposed to joint statehood between New Mex ico and Arizona and prefer to remain Territory forever, rather than &C., cept statehood under such conditions.
 Fourth. We favor the equal taxa ton of all property of every kind and character, believing that the burdens of taxation when proportionately di- vided, will produce no hardships upon any of our people, and to accomplish this end, we recommend that the leg islature of the Territory of Arizona pass law creating the office of assess or for counties of this class, and said office to be separate and distinct from any other.
 Fifth. We are opposed to the ex- emption of property from taxation, ex- cept unpatented mining claims, be- lieving that the mining industry and future welfare of our country is de- pendent upon the prospector.
 Sixth. We pledge our nominees to an economic administration of public affairs.
 To all the citizens of the county, irrespective of former party affilia- tions, we ask that they join with us in the hearty support of these principles.

Power Plant Certain for Kingman.

After looking over the mining field of this county the past week F. F. Munteverde and other directors of the Desert Power and Water Company, have decided that Kingman is the proper place for their plant and will be ready to break ground within twen- ty days. MT. Monteverde has signified the desire of the company to place the plant on a railroad section opposite the ball park on the north side of the railroad, east of town. The plant will take over twenty acres of land ard will at once begin sinking well fer water. It is the intention to furnish water, power and light to the town of Kingman, besides power and light for the mining camps of the surrounding sections. The plant will have ca pacity of 2,400 horse power, sufficient for all needs of the mining camps con- tiguous to Kingman for several years to come. It will also be constructed SO llluU uIulVlOllo OO tliC plduC Uc had from time to time with little diff ficulty.
 The installation of this plant will be of great value in the upbuilding of our mineral resources, as it will enable the opnning up of small mines at small cost for installation of hOisting and pumping plants and milling of the pro- duct of the mines. A small hoist can be placed on the mines at small cost and the cost of operation will be very small. Kingman is to be the benefic- iary of this enterprise and our people are willing to aid the enterprise in every possible way. The Gold Road company is to take several hundred units of power and it is expected the saving over the present power plant of the company will amount to thou sands of dollars monthly. It is also possible that in the near future trolly systems will be run out from Kingman to the near camps and that ore and passengers will be handled in the lines.
