NEW MEXICO NOW KNOCKING
 AT THE DOOR.
(vrom Thsrsdsy's DaIy.)

SANTA FE. \. M. Sept Is. The campaign for single statehood for New Mexico in l90s is on in earnest and plans are being formulated for me holding of a constitutional convention in this city in November at which the delegates elected at the November cleo ton of 1906 will meet and draft con sti,ution. 10 be submitted by Delegate ". II. Andrews at the converting Of the Six,ic,h Congress, praying that New Mexico be admitted into the Union un' der it's present name and within pres cnt boundaries.
 In addition, n large delegation, re- gardlcss of politics, headed by Governor George Curry. National Committeeman Solomon Luna, Chairman II. Q. Bursum of the Territorial Republican Central committee. A. X. Jones. chairman of the Territorial Democratic Central committee, and other leading polite ians. will journey to the national eapi tai, to impress upon the President and Congress the fitness of this Territory 1 for statehood
 Governor Curry, in an extended in ,crvicw, just given out, has declare, himself uncquivocally in favor of sin gle statehood in 1908, and heartily en dorses the plan of holding n cons'itu ,ional convention at m early date. ll' has called conference of leading pol iticians of both parties to meet ncr' within n few days, with view to sc curing their united action in favor o single statehood and to agree upon method of procedure.
 Governor Curry goes east two week hence 'o attend the Deep Waterways convention at Memphis, Tenn, and h will broach the question of single state hood ,o President Roosevelt, who wil bc the principal speaker on that occas ion. The governor stands close to th President, as every one in the Tcrritor. knows, and it is confidently felt tha New Mcxico's executive will have som pleasing news to bring back. when h returns to the capital
 Since President Roosevelt has Ir nounced that hc would abide by ,h voice of the people of the Tcrritori. and no longer insist upon joint stat, hood for New Mexico and Arizona, is believed hc will not oppose propc sition now 10 have the Territories ad mittsd as separate states into th Union.

CAN SCHOOL TIA XBE COLLECTED
 AT WHIPPLE.
iF.om Wednesdays pailyl

Provided that Major Foster, com manding officer et Fort whipple, insists further, that employees of contractors working on military reservations are not subject to school tax, that question appears now to bo in n fair way of being settled in the courts, as Assistant District Attorney Forest has given n written opinion Co Assessor Campbell that the men 30 employed are subject to the tax and that it is his duty 10 collect the same.
 Up to about month ago, the Fort whipple contractors, as required by statute, collected the school tax from tho mechanics and employees working for them in the construction of the buildings on the reservation. Some of tho employees claimed that this action was contrary to law and the military regulations. Tho matter was referred to Major Foster, commander of the post, who, it is said, issued an order to the contractors superintendents and bookkeepcrs Co cease the collection of 'he tax, giving as reason tha. the . .,vil authorities had no jurisdiction in military reservations. County Assessor Campbell was notified of the major 's rulings. He at once sought the legal advice of the district nttorney's office. In his written opinion 10 the assessor, the assistant district attorney says: "I have carefully examined the au' thorities relating to the question, and it is my opinion that the men 30 cm ployed are, under the law, liable for this tax, and 1t is your duty to pro ceed to collect the same, as you hay, been doing"
 Yesterday the assessor 's office noti fed the contractors offices at Fort whipple of the opinion of the district attorneys office, and requested them tC continue the collection of the school taN as in the past. The matter was ,akcr nndcr adviscment by them and 1t coult not be learned last night whether the,
 intend to continue the collection of th,
 tax az they did before receiving th,
 order from Major Foster to cease II, collection.

(Esom Fridays Daily.)

"Bcyond doubt the best sheep and goat exhibition cver seen in the Ter ritory will be at the ncxt Territorial Fair," said II. J. Gray of Jerome Junction, who was recently appointed superintendent of that department, to n Journal Miner man, yesterday.
 "I am going to spend my entire time and little of my own money besides to mako 1t . success" he de clarcd. "Arizona has as good breeds of sheep and goats ns any state n the Union, and you may rest assured that the sheep and goat show will be one of the features of tho fair. If possible I will induce every sheep and goat man in the Territory to send some of his stock for exhibition. Shecpmen have been improving their flocks in tine past few years. There is no reason why c. c. llutehinsOn should not send q bunch of his black. faced Oxford Downs to the fair, and I know that F. T. Smith will bs only too glad to contribute to the success of the exhibition by sending few of his we'll bred Rambouillet Merinos. Dent { Savers of F1agsta6, also have some high class stock, as we'll as other large sheep owners, wno have been getting the highest prices in shs Kansas City markets this season.
 "R. E. Cannon, the Prescott goat man, expects to receive a prize goat from the Oregon fair in few days. The goat cost him tho neat sum of $l,5o0. He promised today to send th' goat 10 the fair, as we'll as several other well bred Angora billies.
 "Evcry wool grower in the Ter ritory will Do invited to have some o' his stock on exhibition. l am goinl to stir up a little excitement in th'' department of tho fair. Visitors from other states, who have vague ideas o' our high class goats and sheep, will have q chance to sec our stock, whici compares favorably with any in 'h' country.
 "The sheep business is fast be coming one of the important indus tries of the Territory and there no reason why all engaged in it shoa'' not contribute towards making tho er hibition a success" he concluded

 With the opening of the office, yes. terday, E. r. Denton of Jerome made application for a license to wed Mias Louise Carter, n popular belle of the Copper City. Before the ink was dry on the Denton Carter license, Norman NJ. Palmer of Camp Verde called at the office and blushingly informed Mir.

ENERGY MANIFEST IN VERDE
 DISTRICT.
(Frsn Wsdsssaay's Da,ly.r

"A healthy and lively activity is apparent in the mining industry all over the Verde district" said C. F.. Loux, who returned here from Jerome, ,o a Journal. Miner man, yesterday.
 Copper bullion is being steadily poured out of the United Verde smclt crs,' he said, "and the other mining concerns in the immediate vicinity are pushing work on their mines and pros. poets.
 "In the properties of the Boston. Jerome Copper company, the new double compartment shaft, iisxs feet in the clear, is now down 6l feet, with very promising showing of low grade copper orc m the bottom. The shaft is going down at the rate of about one foot day and the ore appears to be improving as depth is gained. The stockholders of the company arc prin. cipally Prescott and Jerome people. and all familiar with the cxcellen, show. ing are jubilant over the outlook for good copper producer. The cigh, claims of the group are located about one mile south of the United Verde mine.
 "Thc Verde Grande Copper com. pany, which has just completed the in. stalla'ion of n hois,ing plant, air com. prcssor and other machinery, at an .x. pense of over $I2,0OO. is rushing work on n shaft now ls5 feet deep. The management of this concern is very well satisfied and confident of opening n good property.
 "At the Royal Irish camp, recently taken over by the Arkansas and Ari. zona Copper company, the new shaft Is now down 325 feet and rapid pro. gress being made in sinking. This group is located about mile north of the United Verde.
 "The Boston Mines Development company, which located extensive ore bodies by the diamond drill. has n new shaft now down 35 feet. Tnis concern bored into its holdings to depth of over 500 feet Good ore bodies nrc known to have been passed through al- though the results of the explorations have not been given to the public Every energy Is now being directed to. wards getting the shnft down as fast as possible and the conduct of thos, in charge of operations indicates that rich ore bodies nave been located" Mir. Loux is one of the many con. ductors of the x. F., F. & F. and oper. ated lines, who have extensive mining interests in several districts in the county.

WALKER OPTIMISTIC DESPITE
 THE SLUMP.
[Ttom hussdsT . DsAiy)

George l.. Walker. the authority on copper metal and copper shares, is still optimistic on both, despite the recent siumps. In his copper letter, published in the Boston Commercial of September 2, Mir. Walker says;
 All the large producers are now n unit in asking 1872 cents for Lake and IS cents for electrolytic copper. They have maintained this position for n week or two past and q considerable volume of business hns been done Quite heavy sales of electrolytic have been made in Europe at IS cents, and domestic consumers quite generally have been buying for September deliv. cry. Sales of lake have been made re. gently at lsh. cents. These prices, therefore, make the market for the time being and it is very good opinion that they will be maintained through. out the remainder of the year.
 The money situation Is at the bottom VI th' 'N'''H' ''N'INHl bI 'bHIillbHs which have come about in the metal market in the past six ar eight months. When the American Telephone com pany failed to raise money for the usual yearly extension of it's lines and Tho Western Electric company was as a result forced to close down it's wire mill, tho change from an excess of consumption to an excess of produc 'ion began. The money market must he blamed. Since then it has been practically impossible for the indrpcnd cnt telephone companies, street rail. roads and n very great majority or other electrical enterprises to raise the money for now construction work. The consumption of copper has thus been arrested temporarily, probably to the extent of per cent This condition will continue until money is easier H1l money will grow easier very rap idly if the rctrenchmcnt in general luencss conditions continues. IL was ibc abnormal volume of business that usod up tho worlds money supply,

TEN STAMP MILL FOR ALASKA
 h01GE.
(From Thursdays Daily)

D. J. Sullivan of Congress, formerly assessor of Yavnpai county, has return. cd from the east. During his absence he says he received encouraging reports on he progress of the Alaska mine, at Congress, which is being operated by the United Gold Mining company, of which he is the president and manager Upon his examination of the mine on his return he says that he was more than pleased with the outlook and the quantity of high grade ore in sight.
 The mine is located 2,5OO feet south of the Congress mine, and the two shafts being sunk are on parallel ledge with that of the Congress mine, from which bns been taken millions of dollars. The Alaska mine is n gold proposition, like the Congress, and Mir. Sullivan believes that the indications for mine are as good as were those on the Congress at tho same stage of development. The mine was examined two weeks ago by prominent Chicago mining engineers, wno pronounced the proposition n good one. A tcs. ui 200 tons of ore ran $3O to the ton in gold. There arc no baser metals in the ore, making 1t easy 10 cyanide. Mir. Sulli- van is very enthusiastic over the future of the property and believes that ;t will some day be as big n producer ns the Congress. The ore ledge is there and has the values and it is only n question of whether it goes down 10 a great depth. The formation is sim. liar to the other mine and there is every indication that the ledge will go to m equally great depth. The Congress mine Is down 1000 feet. new and richer ore body on the Alaska has been struck, and Mir. Sulli van says that more extensive operations will be begun this fall, new machinery has been ordered, and that by April they hope to have in n l0stamp mill. There is now on tnc dump LOGO tons of good ore. The two shafts are down 400 feet and l,2OO feet of drifting has been done. Mr. Sullivan thinks that the fall in the price of copper will cause many more investors to turn their attention to gold propositions, Tho Alaska is backed by eastern capital.
