TAFT THINKS OTHERWISE
QUESTION FOR DEPARTMENT OF
STATE.

HsVana, Oct. 1.-THE provisional gov
ernment will have nothing to do with
the question of the sovereignty of the
Isle of Pines or with the separation of the
government of the island from the rest
or the Cuban republic. The executive au-
thority of the United States already has
declared that the Isle of Pines belongs to
cuba and has embodied that affirmation
IN a treaty conceding the sovereignty of
the Island TO Cuba. and this treaty is now
penang ratification in the American SEN
ate. The entire matter being one for the
adjudication of the state department. the
provisional government, which is wholly
under the war department, will not mix
therein

VIII Be Disappointed.

The mode of the government Of the Isle
on zines as part OF the Cuban republic
may be altered or amended, but the de-
sire or Americans in the Isle of Pines for
territorial or municipal government as
part of the United States cannot be con-
ceded by any act on the part of the pro-
vlslonal government of Cuba or the war
department.
The president of the American associa-
ton of the Isle of Pines has not vet in
terviewed Governor Taft on this matter.
but the most that is likely to be gained
Will be the placing Of an American mill
tary officer as temporary governor of the
isle In lieu of the present Cuban mayor
with whom the relations of the American
residents have not been pleasant.
Thought the Time Ripe.
The American residents of the isle have
adopted unanimously a resolution exon
eral Leonard Wood from ali blame in
connection with the turning over of the
Isle of Pines, and they feel that this step
ought to open the way to negotiations for

opportune for securing a settlement of
the matter. which they believe may hang
fire indefinitely in the United States
senate.
Senator's Pay Stopped.
Governor Taft has decided that the pay
of the Cuban senator's and congressman
be stopped Oct. 1, when the Palma gov
eminent ceased. He Will decree the con-
greSS to be in recess until the question
of its status is settled.
Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Bacon had a recep-
ton this afternoon in the main saloon of
the palace. 1t was attended by several

New and Rich Strike

c. H. Mcclure was in the city
 this week with a quantity of ore, which he sold to the Arizona Mexi- can Smelling company. The ore was taken from a recent strike made by MT. Mcclure about fifteen miles south of Needles, near the Monu- mental group of mines located a number of years ago. The ore is free milling, carrying gold values running very high, and while only surface work has yet been done, the ledge presents an appearance of strength and permanency. MT. Mcclure brought in this week a sample from depth of six feet upon one of the claims which car ried an assay value of 20 ounces in gold, or $4OO per ton. The ledge is upon a true contact and can be traced for a considerable distance upon the surface, although quite narrow when first encountered, but with depth it has greatly increased

U. s. Marshal Daniels Arrested

Nogales, Ariz., Feb. 16.-United States Marshal Ben F.. Daniels was arrested here today by Sheriff Fowler on a charge of fraud.
 The complaint was made by Hans M. Larson, who alleges that Daniels and his partner, A. M. Conard, now residing in Kansas City, sold him a mining claim in the Harshaw district for $500 a year ago. The deal was made by Conard.
 When Larson went to do assess ment work on the claim James Har- rison, one of the supervisors oi Santa Cruz county, claimed to own the property.
 Larson then demanded the re- turn of his money from Daniels through his attorney, MT. Noon, who is also the district attorney oi this county.

assessments, it must raise those owning property in the class re- ferred to who have been fairly as
 eessed just as much as it raises those who ought to be raised. If this be an injustice the local boards and assessors will be responsible for it. The territorial board will assume, as it must under the law, that if one piece or holding of prop erty in a certain class is assessed too low or too high, every other piece or holding of property in the same class is also assessed too high or too low, and in the same propor. ton it will raise or lower that class of property as whole accordingly. If such action should result in dis crimination against some particular individual or holder, it will be due to the partiality, mistake or care lessness of the local assessing off. cers or local board of equalization. A careful adherence, therefore, to the cash value of each piece ofprop. erty as a standard, and absolute uniformity SO far as it is practica' ble, will result in justice to all tax payers, and in greatly lessenine difficulties of equalization and the collection of taxes. It will also re- suit necessarily in a decreased rate of taxa tion-an end most earnestly

GENERAL NEWS NOTES
Interesting Items Purloined From
 Numerous Exchanges

Passengers tell of bad freight wreck on the Santa Fe, Prescott x Phoenix railroad, two miles south of Prescott, last Saturday afternoon. The engine and long string of cars went into the ditch, tying up all traffic for several hours. No one was killed.
 In the case of the Territory vs. P. F. Plus, for alleged killing of cattle and disposing of the meat thereof without first having the animals inspected, which was tried last Sat urday night before Judge Finn, the defendant was fined $150 each on two different charges. MT. Plus gave notice that he would appeal the case to the district court.- Winslow Mail.
 A RaymondWhitcom excur- sion, loaded with Baltimorians. bound for the Pacific coast, spent thirty minutes at the local station between Il and 12 o'clock this morning. The passengers had so much fun taking kodak pictures of the Indians that the conductor had had to call the depot master to his assistance to get them back aboard the train, when the time came for departing Albuquerque Citizen, Feb. 16.
 s. J. Holsinger, manager of the Standard Iron company's property at Meteor mountain, south of Can yon Diablo, was here Wednesday. MT. Holsinger says that the work of sinking the shaft is progressing slowly on account of quicksand. In an early issue of Science full account of the search for the me- teor which caused Meteor mountain will be published. The article will certainly prove interesting reading to the scientist and to many lay readers.-Flagstaff Sun.

The line will soon be completed and will no doubt prove profitable invest ment.

patronize Your Home Merchants

Says an exchange truthfully: There is no question but if you will take the same amount of cash to your local merchant that you were thinking of sending to that Chicago mail order house, your home man can save you money and serve you better. Your home merchant pays taxes, license and gives employ ment to your fellow citizens, be- sides contributing in many ways to the welfare and general upbuilding of the community. These matters should be carefully thought of be. fore a dollar or a dime is sent out of the town for something we can get just as good and just as cheap at home.-Nogales Daily Times.
 The above statements are facts. but it is also a rule that works both ways. Many times we have been asked to preach the doctrine of buy. ing of home merchants. We were aware that the people who made the request were sending away for their printing; yet in the face of that they desired the home paper, which does not get half their trade, to advocate what they fail to prac- tice themselves. How about busi- ness men who want it practiced toward them who send abroad for their printing? It is all very well to advocate maintaining home en- terprises; but many of those who say the most in that direction send abroad for printing because they "can get it cheaper" Why are not Arizona business men willing that others should do business upon the same basis they do themselves?

GETTING READY
 FOR CONGRESS
E..E. EIinwood Resigns as District Attorney
 of Yavapai


 nomination for delegate to congress at the hands of the democrats, it is believed, E. E. Ellinwood has ten- dered his resignation as district at- torney of Yavapai county to the board of supervisors at Prescott.
 Ellinwood's resignation will be considered by the Yavapai super visors at a meeting to be held to- morrow. A petition is being circu. lated in Prescott for the appoint ment of Sam L. Pattee, now assist ant to Ellinwood.
 While Ellinwood has several times denied that he would offer himself as a candidate for congress. it is rumored that as the result of recent trip to Cochise county he has relented and will soon enter actively into the fight.
 With Ellinwood in the arena the probable nominee for congress is somewhat in doubt. Should Dele gate Smith not care for the nom- ination again it will doubtless go to Ellinwood, who may have re- ceived tip from Washington, D. C.. that Smith does not again de- sire the honor.
 Ellinwood served az U. s. dis trict attorney during the adminis- tration of President Cleveland, and his conduct of the affairs of that office was highly commended by the press and bar of the territory. ] Later he acted as chairman ol the territorial central committee ol the democratic party for a number of years, and is still the executive head of that party in that capacity
 Previous to making Prescott his headquarters few years ago he was resident of Flagstaff, where he still has a number of clients oi large interests.
 He was nominated by his party for district attorney of Yavapai county in the fall of 1904, without having sought the office or even de claring his willingness to accept it and was elected in November by g handsome majority after spending most of the campaign time in other parts of the territory in the inter est of the candidacy of Mark A Smith, who was then a candidate for delegate to congress.-Phoeni1 Enterprise, Feb. 16.
 The Tucson Citizen says: Mir Ellinwood will locate at Bisbee ane become a member of the law firm of which Col. William Herring, o Tucson, is the head. The new firm will be Herring, Sorin & Ellinwood Col. Herring and Mrs. Sorin vii continue to reside in Tucson ane MT. Ellinwood will make his head quarters in Bisbee.

The struct- ure will be built largely of cement of which there is now stored at Ash Fork over fifty car loads. In archi- lecture it will resemble the depot building at Albuquerque. On ac- count of the advantages of drain ing, the structure will be built about one half mile west of the present depot. More room is also available at that point.

THE ARIZONA
 MINERS ASSN. Objects and Intentions of the New Or
 ganization

The NEWS IS m receipt or a copy of the constitution and bylaws of the Arizona Miners association. or ganized at Phoenix in December last. Following are it's objects:
 "To protect, develop and foster the mining and mineral industries of the territory of Arizona."-Con- stitution, Article 1. Section 2. G
 To advertise to the world the vast richness of the scarcely touched mineral resources of Arizona. Cap ital is only waiting to be "shown" in order to invest in legitimate propositions, which will tend to in- crease the output and make more business in every line.
 To increase the pay roll. More mines mean more miners at work; more prospects developed; more men employed in various occupa- tions; more supplies needed; more houses built; more population for Arizona; more wealth produced.
 To assist in every legitimate and practical manner the prospector who has a meritorious prospect worthy of development.
 To protect the investing public from wildcat" schemes by expos ing them wherever found. One illegitimate proposition will do more harm to the industry than. can be enumerated by several good pro- jects properly handled. The man who loses in a "fake" company does more adverse advertising for the community than can be recovered from by the good words of half q dozen satisfied investors. Strike at the root by giving the public accur- ate information about all proposi- tions, and let it be known that the Arizona Miners association will not countenance anything detri- mental to the mining interests of the territory.
 Not to further the political ambi- tions of any man or class of men. but to work for the upbuilding of Arizona's mining interests. For the man with the pick and drill as we'll as for the man with the bank account. For the mine owner, merchant, and lumberman- For the assayer, and the alfalfa grower. For the chemist and the cattleman. For all who are inter ested directly or indirectly in the growth and development of the mining interests of Arizona. Great wealth is in the ground. Labor and capital together will bring it out.
 Organized efforts will bring suo- cess. More members mean more | influence. Diversified interests iu one body carry weight. All push together for the success of the Ari- zona Miners association, for that means putting Arizona in the front rank of the mining world.
 Boost your own interests with those of Arizona.

CAUSE FoR PRIDE.
Oh aIrman DIekema Talks on Great
Republican Victory.

Chairman G. j. Diekema of the Re-
publican state central committee makes
the following statement relative to
Governor Warmers reelection.
"The Republicans of Michigan have
a right to be proud over the victory of
Tuesday. On account of the small
number of contests for local officers,
the total vote will probably fall
to 400, 900, as against 5OO,0 two years
ago. On this vote Governor Warner
will receive majority Of between 9O,-
600 and 100000. His majority will
reach % per cent of the vote cast, as
against II per cent received two years
ago. thereby making his majority more
than twice as large as it was two years
ago. In other words, if the full vote
had been cast Tuesday, he would have
received in the neighborhood of $780,
600.
GA comparison with the result in the
last off year, four years ago. is no less
favorable to Governor Warner. The
total vote for governor in both OF these
off years is practically the same, but
the Republican majority four years ago
was only 2 per cent of the total vote,
or considerably less than half of what
it is this year.
IF Governor Warmers majority. this
year had fallen to 40, 900, his percentage
of the total vote would even then have
been greater than the Republican ma
jority either two or four years ago.
Governor Warner this year receives
about 60 per cent of the total vote cast
for governor, a percentage considerably
higher than that ever received by Re-
publican candidate for governor. of
Michigan"

Arthur Hills Friends Look Upon Him

From Saginaw Correspondent Free Press.
Saginaw, Mich, November 12-Close
political friends of Arthur Hill in this
city now incline to the belief that Con.
gresham Joseph w. Fordney will be a
prominent figure in the senatorship con-
test next January.
Mr.. Fordney has been doing no open
work in his own behalf, but notwith.
standing this his boom has been grow
ing, and now his friends are claiming
that he will be the winner. They as
sert that he will receive the support of
Railroad Commissioner Atwood, With
whom he is now on hunting trip in
the northern part of the state.
The defeat of Thomas q. Bailie as a
candidate for the lower house of the
legislature was serious loss to the
Saginaw candidate, while the success of
Charles III. Waters, Bailies running
mate, is regarded here as a victory for
Fordney, as Waters was a Fordney
