The statement of the condition of the financial affairs of Coconino county is published in this issue. It will he seen by the comparative statement with the years 1903 and 1904 that there has been a very considerable reduction in the run ming expenses of the county, being in 1905 S47,o2o.37, in 1904, S5I,- S7I.7o and 1903 S53,577.o3. The care of the county indigent is one of the considerable expenses of the county and one that causes expense in every county in the Territory. This is probably due to the number of aged persons who are dependent upon t h e county for homes, and who would suffer without this aid. The state ment for the past three years shows that the county has been on the whole economically run, and that expenses are being reduced each year.

It is probable that if statehood bill of any kind is passed it will contain a prohibition clause, and that in any state to be admitted prohibition will prevail. If the law should be enforced in Arizona it would be indeed an arid state.

It has been rumored that Con- gressman Tawney had goue over to the ranks of the joint-statehood advocates. The rumor is denied by MT. Tawney, and he is reported as saying he will vote against any loint-statehood bill that d Des not give the people of both territories the right to vote on the lointure.

The statehood question has been before the people of Arizona for the past twenty years, Arizona always desiring single statehood. Any other condition is not desira- ble. Joint statehood sith New Mexico is particularly obnoxious to the people of Arizona and they hope to see the final defeat of the measure.

 , This company. the Tennesse Coal and Iron Company, is the mammoth indus- trial corporation of the State. While the Ensley property of the company is only one item of It's big holdings, 1t Is nevertheless the largest item by reason of the immense steel mill and It's subsidiary industries at Ensley. In addition to this big plant and Its six big furnaces the company owns iron furnaces at Oxmoor. Bessemer, South Pittsburg Tenn. It has, too, extensive holdings of ore properties in the min eral districts of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama.
 How Is steel made? It Is a pertinent question and one not easily answered. or easily understood when answered,
 The Making of Steel.
 Tn the beglnnig it may be said that the visitor to Ensley and to Gadsden for that matter can stand in one place and see the places from which gall the raw material comes that goes into the making of iron and steel, He can see the iron ore mines, the limestone quarries, the coal mines, the coke ovens, the iron furnaces, the immense steel mill and the warehouse Into which the finished rails are rolled awaiting the railroad cars to be car ried to track laying gangs in all parts of the United States. From the ore mine to the shipping shed all passes under his vision. He Is told, too. that the trip of raw material from the hands of the miner until 1t is rolled out as finished steel for the shipping clerk takes only twenty-four, hours Convenience, accessibility, proximity all these have made the Birmingham district great in iron making and they promise to make 1t equally great in steel making.
 At Ensley, the iron ore is never per. mitted to get cold. The iron made at the furnaces of tho Tennessee Coal and Iron Company is not molded into the usual little billet known to com- merce. Instead the molten iron ore iS poured into saucer like cars which are run a hundred yards across the street to the steel plant. In this molten state 1t is put into storage tank call ed the mixer" where 1t is temporarily waiting the call of the steel making process. It Is then lifted by big ladies into a huge 'dipper" like affair. through which a powerful blast of coal
 
 the silicon and other impurities from the molten ore. On a dark night this blast of cold air sent suddenly through several tons of red hot molten ore furnishes one of the most splendid ex- hibits of fire works ever prepared by man,

 This process of cleansing over.. the purified iron ore is again loaded into huge ladies and moved over to the steel furnace property A bed has been previously prepared for the ore. bed of magnesite. on which 1t is poured. Some lime Is added Expert chemists look after the proper proportion of these mixtures and they look after the heating of the steel In these furnaces, The white hot heat for the steel furn- aces is furnished from the company's gas plant close by.

 he doesn't attempt to any extent.
 Tt is really astonishing how little the people know about the money they handle every day, some persons seeming to find it impossible to differ ,entiate between the certificate, both or the silver and gold denominations'and the regular United States note. Let us take the St0 note with the vignette of the buffalo in the centre which is now in regular circulaion This is a United States note, called the legal tender note and 1t is pro- mise of the Government to pay the bearer the sum of $10. Of course the Government will pay this particular $10 to the holder of the note and all similar notes, for we haven't yet run
 so dry upon our cash resources that we have to stand off these promises or ten dollars not specifying the kind of dollars 1t will pay the amount of the note with.
 Now, the legend upon the silver certificates--and the gold also-is as follows: This certifies that there have 'heen deposited in the Treasury of the United states of America five silver dollars, payable to the bearer on de- mana, which is quite another story Yet there are otherwise intelligent people who have difficulty in differ entiating in this kind of money, and who come to the treasury with silver certificate and expect to receive gold. upon 1t, or vice versa, when 1t calls for silver dollars. Of course, money Is money in general circulation, and while all money Is good money in this country there are nevertheless several kinds of money or it's certificate re- presentations" 1.' ..-..-.

Steel making is a millionaire's busi- ness the steel business has begun to make millionaires in Alabama.
 The industry is yet in it's infancy, but the infant is strong and sturdy. making of steel when one considers the It was a long time in coming-the immense iron ore possibilities of the State The amount of money it takes to start the business of steel making is enough to stagger the average man. For instance the smaller of the two companies which Is engaged in making steel is capitalized at $25,O00,0Oe. This Is the Southern Steel Company with big plant at Gadsden and big nall anu wire mill at Ensley. The other com pany is the steel making branch of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. which is said to have the largest cap- italizatiOn of any industrial company doing business in the state. Its capi- ,talizatiop Is S50.000.Oo0.
 The making of steel in Alabama Is less than a decade old. It was begun in Ensley and until three years ago 1t was confincl to Ensley. Ensley had the immense steel making plant Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and 1t had as well the rod and wire mill of the Shutters. The shulers are Chicago capitalists who made fortunes out of iron and steel before they reached the prime oI Aite' Their plant at Ensley depended for It's raw steel material upon the plant or the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
 The shuIers In Gadsden.
 But some four years ago the Shulers recognized the immense possibilities of making steel in a country So rich in coal and iron, secured some Valua- ble property in the outskirts of Gads- den. They built there one of the most modern steel mills in the country one so large and of such importance that it made Gadsden one of the big indus trial points of Alabama. This proper ty. together with the wire and rod mill at Ensley. was incorporated into the Southern Steel Company with it's S2saOOO. .O0O capital stock. The plant has now been in operation nearly two years and is recognized as one Of the big industrial money makers of Alaba- ma.
 The Tennesse Coal and Iron Gompa- ny. however Is the pioneer in Alabama in this big business That company first of all demonstrated the fact that basic. open hearth steel could be made as cheauly in the mineral district Of Alabama as anywhere else in the coun- try. It led in that movement which gave Ensley its name of the Steel City Now Bnsley Is proudly claiming to be

As the steel is making expert chem fists are constantly testing 1t for its purity and fineness. The molten steel is kept in the furnace from five to eight hours. It IS then poured. into molds Which are very much ike the pans in use in. the countless Ice fac- tories in Alabama, These molds form the steel into big ignots about the size of cake of leo as 1t comes from the factory. Out of the chemical laboratory kept on the place a chemist comes and makes another test on the Finished steel. He makes a few hiereoglyphlcs on it which show just how fine that particular piece of steel is.
 The steel ingot Is then put into a hot furnace and heated to a red hot heat, but not so hot that It's shape is lost. The ignots are then run through one series of roller after another. the red hot metal being handled, by electrical machinery which under the direction of the expert operators iapneaFf to shaXe human igepeaS The more expect or these operators are said to draw almost fabulous wages for woFkmen. There are stories of several of them drawing SIS, S20 and S25 day. At any rate the workmen Tn steel mills are paid. no doubt. better wages than are paid in any other industry.
 In time the numerous rollers give the steel ingots defip1te shape. The ignOts are first mashed out into a long thin piece of steel. which Is cut iniu several rails. At last, the rails h1re their finished shape and are rolled out upon big platform, too hot for man to put his hand upon.
 The only finished product turned out by the plant of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company Is steel rails ready for laying. Steel blooms" are sent from tho EnsIey plant ts the rolling mills of the big Company at BessemeF.
 Plant of Southern Company.
 A few yarS~ away is the rod and wire mill of the Southern Steel Com pany which until two years ago. when the Gadsden plant was finished de- pended upon the steel mill of the Tenn essee Coal and Iron Company to furn- ish the raw materials for it's barbed wire, It's bolts, and It's nails. This raw material of steel is now furnished by the oompany's own plant at Gadsden
 This Ensley plant of the Southern Steel Company produces each day no less than $500 kegs of nails. The oot- put of It's other products are in the same proportion,

 Plant of TeRnesse Company.
 The plant of the Tennessee Company is an Immense thing. If covers ten acres. In looking into the steel indus- try one Is always astonished at the immensity of the business The iron ore for the steel mill is supplied from 3 series of modern furnaces. six in humber. These furnaces are the lar gest in the world with the single ex- ception Of the Duquesne furnaces at Pittsburg. The furnaces as large as they are. are only feeders for the big steel mill. The steel works proper in- clude eleven 50 ton open hearth fur naces. 250 ton primary furnace Is ton converter blooming mill. foun- dry machine shops steel casting plant and number of other Interesting de- tails.
 The monthly out put of this plant as more than SO,000 tons of steel. Of this output between 20,000 and 22,- 900 tons are made into rails for va rious railroads. This Ensley mado rail is in demand by and Is in use by more than a score of railroads in different parts of the country. The demand up- on this mill product more thRn eluals it's output,
 Out of this great demand has grown the purpose of President Don H. Bacon and his associate officers of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron Company to dou- ble the capacity of tho plant. This work has been actually started. great force of workmen are engaged in the building of the new mill at Ems ley which Is 10 be a duplicate of the first successful mill.
 A seeretive R6sineSa,
 There is perhaps more secretiveness about the steel making business than about any other business. in the State There is apparently no special reason why this should be so, but the officers and the employees of the company are most uncommunicative about the mill in all its details. It is as difficult for an unknown man to get into the steel mill of the Tennesse Coal and Iron Company as it is for stranger to get inside the Executive office of the White House to see the Presldnt, In event the man who goes through the other barriers must have some busi- ness and must come properly endorsed and recommended. For that reason so many facts about the steel industry are not as obtainable as other facts about the industries of coal and iron. Even when one gets through the cordon of special watchmen at Ensley, the facts erleaned In addition to those that come under his eye. he must glean from

 The company owns and operates furnaces, in addition at Trussviile ln Jefferson county and at Chattanooga. Tenn. The company has several rich ore mines near Gadsden which gives an ore that runs fifty-five per cent. The company recently purchased some very valuable ore mines on Red Noun tin, near Birmingham. The c0mpany's coke ovens are located at Altoona.
