KICKED FROM ENGLAND,
 WANTS TO GO BACK

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-Following his arrest on charge of vagrancy, Charles K. Mclean, who says he is known to the detectives of Scotland Yard as George Stevens. and who ar rived on the Arabic from England sat urday. told a strange story at police headquarters today. He said he had served time fin English prisons. had hobnobbed with lords aud dukes. to whom, he said, he introduced his beautiful young wife, and had follow ed the business of broker in London for twenty-five years. He now wishes to be deported to England, and Com missioner Watchorn of the immigra- tion bureau probably will be asked to send him back under the alien crimi- nal act.
 Mclean said he was first arrested in 1887 at the Metropole Hotel, Lon don. charged with stealing portfolio containing $500 from a mans pocket. but afterward proved his innocence and was discharged. After that, he said, he and hts wife were prominent in court circles and mingled with wealthy and famous persons. The second time he was arrested was in Aberdeen, Scotland. in 1906.
 I had been to Edinburgh on busi- ness" he continued, 'and one Sunday night I went to Aberdeen. I was standing ia from of the Palace Hotel when I saw man watching me. He proved to be Inspector Golf of Scot land Yard. I got into a carriage. and he did also, after being joined by three other men, and they followed me to another hotel where they ar rested me.
 T heard something about the pros pective visit of King Edward and the Queen to Aberdeen within the next few days, but I didn't know. until afterward that Inspector Golf and his men had taken me up as a precautiol- ary measure Next day 1 was sent to prison for three months. Evidently it was a case of mistaken identity, but it was useless to say so. Inspector Golf told the court I had entered the room of the Lord Chief Justice of England a few days before. 1 had done no such thing, but I heard that he was there because of the kings visit and that somebody had robbed him.
 Well, I got out of prison and went back to London. I asked my wife to give me $500 out of about s3,500 had given her, and promised to leave Eng land and not return. She visited a Dr. Wood. court physician, and the result was an agreement by which she gave me $175 and a first-class pas sage to America, promising to send the remainder of the $500 to New York
 This Dr. Wood, however, prevailed upon a friend of his, Home Secretary Gladstone, in London, to sign d wit of expulsion. sending me out oi Eng land for an indefinite period on the charge that I was known criminal. Now, I want to go back in spite of it all."
 McLean's wish probably will be granted as the police will Je Slad 10 get rid of him.

FIRST ORGAN BRINGS
 MANY THOUSANDS

SEATTLE. Aug. 7.-Among the in teresting exhibits of the early days of Alaska and Yukon, at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition. which will be held at Seattle in 1909. will be the first organ that went into the North land Organs and pianos are com mon now in the north, but in 1898 a mouth organ was the largest instru- ment of music that the land pos ssssed.
 Two Seattle men that winter pur- chased an organ for about twenty dol lars They had money enough to ship it to Skaguay and little more for two months food They packed the organ over the Chilkoot pass taking a month to do it, and another month to drag the instrument to Dawson. At that time there were over hundred millionaires in Dawson, many of whom had just married. Among the women the competition as to who would own the organ was intense. It finally fell to the richest of them ali, the wife of man who was also the most in love. The bids went up by the hundreds and the organ was the basis of a large fortune for the man to whom the idea first occurred. The organ is still in good condition and bears little marks of it's thousand mile journey over ice and snow and mountain peak.

RAY MINE HOUSES JOY IN FINAL
 EXPERT
Declares Largest Body of Cop per in World Lies in the Neighborhool of Ray-7000 Ton Mill

PHOENIX, Aug. 6.-'Ie is simply wonderful; it cannot be beat in the world; 1t is a marvel work of Nature Don't take my word for it--come over to Kelvin and see"
 The above remark was made by W. B. TwitcheA of the Kelyin-Calumet company. He is here on some busi- ness and he cannot talk of anything but the wonders Of the Kelvin coun- try.
 Why. We have enough ore in our mine to last a hundred years-in fact, it can never be exhausted. We have drifted HOO feet in every direction, and there is no dimunition in the sup ply. It is not a vein: it is an entire country covered with copper. Our drifts run into the Ray mine, and the Ray Company takes up the copper as far as it's claims go and there is now no show of decrease. As a mining section We are soon going to be up with Bisbee The narrow guage rail- road has been completed to the Ray mine and ore is now being shipped out The Ray company is already operating 300-ton mill and will soon put in a 7000-ton mill We are oper-
 
 a ton and will increase the size in the near future. In fact, there was never a more prosperous outlook in any mining district, and we have dem- onstrated that our country has the largest body of copper ore in the world. The ore is 3 1-2 per cent and is being mined at good profit It will not be two years before the mining center of the territory will have shifted to this district I do not say this with view of injuring any other districts; there are many fine copper districts in Arizona, but Kelvin leads them all"
 The Kelvin Calumet, in which Mir Twitchell is interested, has been shipping are since last September and from this on it will turn out 100 tons every day

KENT TOO FOXY
 ID GIVE OUT TALK
Special to Review.l

PHOENIX. Aug. 7.-The joint state hood people of Phoenix look upon the interview of published from oyster Bay as emanating from Judge Kent with considerable suspicion. They have for some months had reason to believe a bill would be introduced in the next congress joining Arizona and New Mexico as one state and they cannot work themselves round to the belief that the president, who has pre- viously committed himself to a joint ure policy, would so quickly whirl around when a little hot air talk was given him by Judge Kent. This mat ter was thoroughly discussed among joint statehood men and they are still hopeful, although their ardoT is some what dampened.
 T do not think Judge Kent would give out a statement to the effect that Arizona is not ready for state hood" said Judge J. NJ. Jameson, ies- pecialIy as it would be flying in the face of the declaration of both the national and territorial republican and democratic parties IL will be remembered that both of these par ties have declared for statehood for Arizona time and again, thus evidenc- ing the fitness of the people for local seIf-government, and I do not think that Judge Kent would even think of making the statement accredited to him. A man who says Arizona is not fit for statehood does not want state hood of any kind. Now, my position has always been that wanted single statehood, but the national republican party is not going to allow Arizona to come in as a single state and conse- quently, I am for the next best thing. joint statehood with New Mexico, and I think that this is coming-coming sooner than the people anticipate: coming simply because 1t is the policy of the national republican party. And I do not think that Judge Kent would care to deliberately insult the inteili- gence of the people of Arizona. therefore do not believe that he has taken the position accredited him.
 That Judge Kent gave out an inter view at oyster Bay is unquestion- ably true, and it would be somewhat queer if a reporter would misquote him on so vital point. The jc.nt statehood people have always said
