SUBMERGED GUNS.
TIE Experiment Of Ftring a Canno.
Buried Under Water.

The most curious experiment ever
made with piece Of ordnance was al
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected In the harbor within the tide
mark. On this an Armstrong gun Of
the ITO pound pattern was mounted.
The gun was then loaded and carefully
aimed at target-all this, Of course.
during tho time Of low tide. A few
hours later, when the gun and the tar.
get were both covered with water to
depth Of six feet. the gun was fired by
means Of electricity. We said "aImed
at q target" but the facts are that
there were two targets, but only one
was erected for this special experiment,
the other being the hull OF m old veg.

hind the target and In range Of the bail.
The target Itself was placed only tween.
ty-hye feet from the muzzle Of the gun.

Official Returns of
 Arizona Complete

Complete official returns of the re- cent election in the territory are now in the hands of Territorial Secretary W. F. Nichols. and show that the vote in favor of joint statehood in the ter ritory was 3l4l out of total of 23,562 votes cast, which makes the percent age in favor Of statedood l3 l-3.
 Mark Smiths majority in the ter ritory over Cooper was 2I92 votes. Cooper carried three Of the thirteen counties, the balance being carried by Smith. Cannon, the 50 :ialist candi- date. boiled POTS votes, while the statehood candidate, c. F. Ainsworth, received sos votes.
 On the statehood proposition 4156 people failed to signify their inten. tions, his being due in a majority of cases to the fact that the voter knew the proposition would be defeated and lost sight of the question in consider stion of some candidate.
 The contention of the anti-statehocd people has been that there were not over 5 per cent of the pc pie of the territory m favor of it, and the vote shows that less than that percentage ! voted for it. The actual vote agains, jointure was 6,265, the majority be-
 ing I3,I 4. The majority in favor O in New Mexico was 10000.

Jointists Still Plan
 For Statehood

To confer with prominent New Mexico leaders in the joint statehood movement, c. F. Ainswo.th, late can. didate for congress in Arizona on the statehood ticket, has gone to Albu- querque, where he will remain the greater part of this week.
 Ainsworth will meet Governor Hag- ermsn, Delegate "Bull" Andrews and others, who are anxious to get into the union either separately or by add ing Arizona and making a joint state. The Phoenix Enterprise says:
 While Ainsworth nor any of the other jointists say as much it is be- lieved that they have received sssur- ances from certain members of con- gress that if they will frame a constr tuition for New Mexico that would be suitable to joint state, congress will refuse t. grant New Mexico separate statehood, but will again give the people of the two territories an oppor- tunity to say whether or not they want to come into the union as one state
 Assurances have been received by Ainswortb that President Roosevelt has not changed his views on the statehood question, and is now ss he has been in the past an ardent sup porter of the plan to unite Arizona and New Mexico in spite of the small
 majority that was cast in its favor in
 New Mexico and the large majority against it in Arizona at the election 1 on November 6.

Standard Iron Co.
 Seek Iron and Nickel

 This com any IS boring into Crater mountain. low, flat hill, with an i'm. mense crater-like cavity in its summit, on the theory that this hill was thrown up by the impact of . gigantic meteor. which will be found imbedded below the depression that it made.
 Many indi ations bear out this the ory. The crater is fringed with . fine sand, white as snow, apparently rock crushed into dust by the terrific i'm. pact of the falling body, and the sur rounding country is strewn with meteoric fragments.
 The Indians Of this vicinity have legendary records of the fall of au enc, nous body ei fire, and their pic. f ture writings show that . large me teor was seen and noted by their tribs some time in the past.
 It has been frequently asserted thai ! fine particles of diamonds have beer found in the fragments of tuis meteor
