TOME sToNE. Aria, Aug. P, l9O6- Hon w. fl Andrew. Albuquerque, N M.-Sir: Your letter of the 23d inst. with enclosures, just received.
 I am always pleased to receive good likeness of the president, as th' one on the "jo mt statehood" button i-, and, no doubt it is a very appropriat' design, for New Mexico, AS in case oi iointure, New Mexico alone would be in any way benefited, and as the pres dent is friendly to iointure, it is all right for you people to have his pie ture on his buttons.
 Over here, we would consider the skull and crossbones more apprOpri- ate, as jointure with your territory W, uld mean death to our great terri tory and its public institutions, in which we take great pride.
 The printed copy of the presidents s letter, which you enclose. we know all about, and appreciate the fact that the president is honest in his convic- tions, but cons der that he has been ! misinformed in this matter, and be- lieve that if Theodore K, osevelt vas at this time a resident of Arizona ter ritory b. would be the leader of us all ,, o,,r erLt Eo
 If I understand the provisions of the ct passed by the last congress. New Mexico and Arizona territories were to be allowed tine p ivilege oi voting separately on the matter of jointnre, and if he sentiment of either territory wac against it we were not to be joined. |. The pre-ident was made to believe i that the common people of both ter ritories were anxious for iointure, and only large corporations were against it, The senate, in order t, get tn. true sentiment existing throughour the territories, insisted that ca h terr . tory be gixen chance to express their desire at the polls We are per iectly willing to abide hy the verdc, of the people AS rendered on Noven.- Der 6, and there will be no coercion tolerated one way or the other, and l think voice the sentiment of al good citizens of this territory when l say, Eve will thank you Major Llcw- ellyn, and all other citizens and inter- ested politicians of New Mex,co. to let us strictly alone in this contest. as W, are perfectly able to render our owI. verdict, and do not need a Mexican interpreter to assist us iu making the same known to the country, either
 There are few ex-office holders and sour politicians who have a small fol- lowing in Arizona, who will vote for joint statehood, if they keep out of jaIi until November 6; but I advise you folks to go ahead and develop your great territory, as we have been doing. for l can assure you that Ari- zona will never be annexed to New Mexico with the econsento oi the people of Arizona. I am, yours truly.
 GEO. B. WILCOX.

NONE BUT LOYAL MEN
 SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED

Arizonans bear distinguish ing features that mark them superior to those who would ietract from righteous sensi- bilities. When one is true to himself he is not forgetiul of His brother. True manhood is noted by activities that con d lce to the be torment of com nerce, strengthening telief in be omnipr, sence of d Stu preme Ru CT, cleanse the body If impure thought and incul- cate virtues that shine lus- iously in the Armament be- low.
 These tho ughts, though pos sibly vague. are suggested by m incessant comming ing with men--those wIo would sacrifice all else but their soul that the honor of their e'lOw- man he preserved the integ- rity ofthe public remain un- tarnished, that virtue remain the quality that is a distin- gushing feature of the Wes- tern leople.
 With each sue -eed 'ng cam paig the public is confronted with danger that threatens thu best qualities of al hone and progressive pc pie. Go ( men are ever on the alert; tn, soldier never sleeps on post the Lord IS ever watchtu Il Him we place our present an' our future.
 A point in view suggested itself Saturday night whel i nine delegates were chosel to the County Democ ati Convention at Benson.
 Conditions to be met wer never more threatening; neve were the people more unan' imous in opposition to a dam aging measure sought 10 b foist upon them True t guardian instincts, Allen k English, one of the nine de gates, introduced and ha, adopted the following resolu tion:-
 | Resolved, That while the Democrac of Tom mbstone IS unanimous for ingI stat hood for Arizona. and for Msrcu A. Smith fof Del gate to ongres we would deem it 8 disgrace to th 1 party should one delegate be sen ,

BIG MINING Triple IS
DESTROYED by FIRE.
At Middleton At Loss Of Ten Thou-
sand or More Dollars to the
FairmOnt Coal Company.
oTHER PRoPERTY THREATEsSIsD
Origin of the Blaze Is Not Certainly
Known-AIiDe Catches

Fire destroyed the coal tipple and
the oil house at the Fairmont Coal
Company's mine at Middleton Sum
day afternoon. The fire was dtscov-
cred at 4:15 by one of the employees
who was working near ana before
enough men could be summoned TO
Fight the blaze it gained such head
way that it was impossible to save
the structure.
The oil house stood close to the
tippIe and it Immediately took atire
and was destroyed. AS soon as the
IRE was discovered the river pump
was put in service and after some
delay three good streams of water
we're playing on the FIRE, The stables
ond blacksmith shop stood close to
the tipple and caught several times,
but In each instance the flames were,
put out and the buildings were
saved.
The origin of the ere is not
known. but it Is thought that +
started around the slack bin. while.
some say it started in the check
room.
The power house stood several feet
from the burning tipDle, but several
times sparks fell on the roof and only
by the hardest kind of work was the
building saved
At the time the fire started -
loaded mine cars were standing On
the tipple and these caught, setting
IRE to the coal at the mouth of the
mine. Two OF the cars and their
contents were destroyed and the rest
OF them were uncoupled and let run
back in the mine TO save them The
coal at the mouth of the mine was
soon extinguished before tthad gafn-
ed much Roadway and the damage
to the mine will be small
The loss to the coal company was
estimated at $4,000 as the tippte
was one OF the best that the com
pany owned, and several barrels of
Gil were stored in the oil house. The
other buildings were but slightly
damaged.
Arrangements were made at once
to dump some of the coal from the
mine over the tippIe at the Highland
mine and the loss of the tlpple VIII
not cause the closing down Of the
min ewhiIe new one is being buirt
a temporary tipple will probably be
built over which run of mine coal
can be dumped and It will only be
few days until the mine viii be
working as usual.

In Game On Fairnont

FAIRAIONT, Nov. 19-The local
High school team experienced little
trouble in defeating the C1arksburg
High school football team at the fair
grounds Saturday afternoon by a
score of 16 to o. The locals out
classed the visitors at every stage of
the game and made the necessary
gains almost at will. Only three
times during the entire game did the
visitors make first down and on two
Of these occasions the ground was
gained on the forward pass.
The teams We're about evenly
matched in weight and the speed of
the local team was mainly respon-
sible for their victory. The first
touchdown was made when the visit
ors attempted to kick rom their one
yard line. The kick was blocked by
Hayes and F. Amos fell on it after
it had rolled over the goal line.
Fleming failed to kick goal. BY
straight football the ball was car
ried to the visitors fye-yard line and
Heintzelman was pushed over for an
other touchdown. Again Fleming
missed goal. With but two min
utes to play Malone after making
severl sensational line plunges car
ried the ball over for the third and
last touchdown of the game Elem
ing kicked goal.
In the second half the visiting
team braced up and the ball was
kept near the center of the field
most of the time. once Heintzel-
man broke through the line and went
25 yards before he was downed, but
the visitors line held like stone
wall and the locals lost the ball on
downs. The visitors punted out Of
danger and the game ended with the
ball on Clarksburg's 45-yard line,

FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
NOT TO Be MOVED
orie Meyers VIII Feed the Horses
At Present Quarters Instead
OF AT His stable.

The city fire department. will not
lie moved from its present quarters
in Traders alley to livery stable
a. was stated in this paper Satur-
day owing TO the Notwithstanding
of single word.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee of council appointed to make
some arrangement for the keep Of
the fire department team of horses
and the city street team was that a
contract made with Orie Meyers,
proprietor of a livery stable, to
feed the city horses, and not to
stable" them. The recommended
ton of the committee was accepted
and adopted by Council. 1t can
readily be seen how the misunder-
standing of the Word feed" for
stable" lead to the conclusion that
the fire horses were to be moved to
livery stable.
A contract will therefore be made
with Mr.. Meyers to feed the city
horses at the price of $40 a month
for each horse, or $50 a month a
team, or $40 a month for all the
horses the city at present owns, and
he will feed them at the present
quarters instead of at his stable.

since the jail has not held woman

women has been empty, The last
woman prisoner was a colored
woman and she was let out early
Monday morning. The time that

equals the term of Sheriff John NJ.

have become so used to seeing
women prisoners in the bastile that
they will hardly know what to do
now that there are none
