AGREEMENT
UNLIKELY
The Operators and Miners Continue Dis.
cussions But Accomplish
Nothing.
MAY RESULT in PARTIAL STRIKE

! Indianapolis, March 26.-The Joint
scale committee OF the joint confer
ence of coal operators and United
Mine Workers of the Central competi
tive district held two-hour session
during the morning, but nothing was
! accomplished. When the meeting was
called to order the Illinois operators
at once insisted upon further discus
sion of the shotfrers' law and then
took up the long standing dispute over
the differential. They made the claim
that if they were permitted to enjoy
differential of 2S cents between pick
and machine mined lump coal as Mr..
Robbins enjoyed in the Pennsylvania
field they could afford to pay the min
ers the advance of l219 per cent orig
inally demanded by them. They said
the Illinois operators had only z.
cent differential and the Indiana oper-
ators a differential of II cents. The
statement was repeated that the oper-
ators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
would not allow Mr.. Robbins, with
production Of 24,0O0,00O tons annually
out of total production of 100000
tons, to dictate the wage scale for the
entire competitive field. "
Robbins Firm, in His Position.
Mr.. Robbins announced his deter
mination to maintain his position and
read a telegram from an independent
! coal company Of Western Pennsyl-
vania with a production of 100000
tons annually announcing its desire to
the advance. At 70 O'clock the COM
mittee took a recess until o'clock
During the discussion one of the op-
orators secured from President Nit
chell the first expression he has made
as to whether the miners leaders
! would allow the Western Pennsylvania
district to sign the advanced scale Of
fered while those of Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio We're on strike An oper-
ator was discussing this possible situa-
ton when Mr. Mitchell remarked
sharply: ''The course you gentlemen
are now pursuing might bring that
! about"
Herman Justi, commissioner of the
Illinois operators, discussing the sit
uatiOn, said:
ut is possible Western Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio will be allowed TO sign
the advanced scale offered and Indi-
ana and Illinois go on a strike. This
strike, however, would be of short
duration, possibly thirty days.
The public will not be seriously
affected by a strike. There is gener-
ally suspension of work at coal
mines on April 1, whether there is a
strike or not. The work during the
next months very light and the out.
put is always small. Besides the coun.
try has coal on hand sufficient for
forty-five days and several hundred
thousand nonunion miners not affected
by the strike will continue at work.

JACKSON BOUND OVER
 IN HEAVY BONDS.

R. C. Jackson, who was caught in the act of forging a fellow worlman's s name at the Copper Queen store Thursday, was arraigned before Jus tice Mcdonald yesterday. He was held in $500 bonds to await the action of the next |. and jury.
 In making his plea to the court for leniency yesterday Jackson told ser- rowful tale of hardship and bad luck which ended finally in his downfall
 The interest on his watch, he said, which he had pawned with Uncle Sam" Reinstein, was due, and to meet this and thus save the loss of his timepiece, Jackson stepped aside from the paths of honesty which had known his tread, and made the two purchases in the name of J. l.. Hilton, which so emblodened him that he made third attempt, the result of which is well known.
 On Thursday Jackson had to meet his board bill, and recalling the ease with which he had stalled off the loss of the watch, he again went to the two guns, intending to sell them to Rosenstein and thus procure sufficient funds to meet the needs of the day.
 But his memory failed him, and the mere error in an initial of his intend ed victim saved that gentleman from further loss. and put Jackson behind the bars, where he will probably re- main long after the next grand jury meets and Judge Doan has had his lit- tie say.

Arthur Brown and Eula King Went to That City to Get
 Married.

Instead of eloping to either Globe or Cananea, as was first supposed, Ar thur Brown and Miss Eula King, both of whom are less than 19 years old, went to Fl Paso for the purpose of getting married in that city.
 Late yesterday telegram was re- ceived from Fl Paso, saying that the young couple were in that city, and were trying to get married, but that up to late yesterday afternoon no we'd ding ceremony had been performed.
 Relatives of Brown are satisfied to let him stay where he is, but not so the mother of Miss King, who is de- teImined to have her back if it is pos sibie She is willing to sign any complaint in the courts that will mean her erring daughters return.
 It is possible that Mrs. King will go to Tombstone to appear in the Dis trict or Probate Court to swear to a complaint, charging her daughter with incorrigibility.
 It was reported late last night that a telegram had been sent to Fl Paso warning the officials there that both the young people are under age, and if they attempt to swear differently will be committing perjury.
 Relatives of both the missing pair feel keenly the publicity thus far giy- en the escapade.

FINED SCALES
 PREVENTS FIGHT.

tContinued from Page 1.J said: q had Nelson at McCarey's of flee at 6 o'clock. We found the scales out of order. I wanted to go to the baths and weigh, but Herrera refused. I then stated that I would claim the weight forfeit and went back to the baths.
 Nelson came into the ring, as you saw. and made a proposition to fight him at 40 pounds That is something that a champion in his class never of fered to do before He had every thing to lose, and did not approve of it. but he wanted to fight and wanted to satisfy the crowd"
 Manager McCarey of the club said: Twice during the afternoon the scales were tested and found correct. but at 6 o'clock when they came to be tested again they were fifteen pounds of, and it was impossible to get the men to come to an agreement. I am very much disappointed over the fasco, but I could do nothing to bring them together"

REVOKED POWER OF ATTORNEY

tion is this: The Kansas City stock holders, who are the Fl Tigre Min ing Company, are now likewise in con- tiol of the Ensenada Mining Com pany which heretofore has been en- gagged in an attempt to regain control of the property. The suit of the En- senada Mining Company against the El Tigre Mining Company will be dis missed, no doubt, by a majority vote of the stockholders just as soon as a meeting can be called for that pur- pose and in that event the litigation, which at first gave promise of being long drawn cut, will be speedily brought to an end. --'ees sa-s=1 '
 Mir. Townsend. attorney for the mi, rority stockholders of the Ensenada Mining Company, was in Cananea on Wedesday with Mrs. Sturgis Sanders and filed the order in the court of the first instance, revoking Mrs. Sturgis' power of attorney to MT. Graham and transferring the same to her husband.
 The next move in this interesting case will be an application to the court at Cananea by a majority of stock holders of the Ensenada Mining Com pany for called meeting of the stock holders of that company, at which time the Kansas City capitalists will appear with proxies from a majority of the original owners of the Fl Tigre mine, giving them control of the meeting.
 It is understood that this meeting will be held at Cananea on June 4. Judging from these important trans actions of the week, the end is h sight.

GREATNESS OF ARIZONA
 AS TOLD BY BEALG

The following is an extract from the speech of Congressman Bean, of Tex as. in oposition to the joint statehod bill.
 Arizona has in round numbers 114,- 900 square miles, while New Mexico has 121 coo Arizona, the smaller of the two, is larger than New York and Pennsylvania, with New Jersey, New Hampshire and Deleware throwE in. It is more than twice the size of lii nois. nine and one-haf times as large as Maryland, twelve times as large as Vermont, thirteen times as large as Massachusetts. fourteen times as large as New Jersey, twenty times as large as Connecticut, fifty-fiye times as large Delaware, ninty-one times as large as Rhode Island. It is as large as Indiana, Ohio and Virginia com bined. So it can hardly be claimed that either. of these territories is want ing in sufficient area.
 Have they sufficient wealth to properly support and maintain q state government? The wealth of Arizona has been estimated to be about s400,- coo, 900. She has almost 1000 miles of railroad within her borders. This rail road mileage is worth four times the value of all the property in Ohio, h. diana or Michigan when these states were admitted Its mines yielded in one year-iast year $90, ,000, GOO, which is double the value of all the property of some of the states when admitted It is the second copper pro ducing district in the Union and will soon be the first There are 20 banks in Arizona, with resources of more than s1 500 600. She has the largest unbroken forest in the world, with an area in excess of 5000 square miles, and with timber reserves of more than 7,000, 900 acres. It has hundreds of thousands of acres of land that few years ago were a part of the desert, that have felt the vivifying touch of Irrigation and are now producing in marvellous abundance
 Arizona has an educational sys- tenn of which she may well be proud. In Ter American population there Is comparatively no iiliteracy. She has compulsory system of education, with 22.000 children filling her school rooms. She pays the highest salaries to her teachers, and has in her schools larger per cent of college bred teach CTS ludu any Sldle III tue U 1lOu- S0e has her system of high schools and a Territorial University.
 "She has her asylum for her unfortu- nate and her penitentiary for her vicious. She has a splendid capitol and other public buildings. Her bonds are selling above par in the market places. She collected in taxes last year $675, ,504.S5, and expended ss93,7 49. All this development has occurred and al these things have been aceom- plished while she has been fettefed and oppressed by her dependent posi- ton as a territory. If given the pres tige of statehood and the advantage that will result, who can forecast what her development will be during the next decade!

 On motion of Rev Shields the band will be engaged for the parade. Other vocal music will be rendered al the graves.
