BETTER FREIGHT RATES

There is a movement on foot through out the territory, toward securing bet ter freight rates, that is becoming gen oral. The progress of Arizona has been considerably retarded by the excessive rates charged by the railroads, who, while they have done much to build up the territory, are doing much toward hampering its industries at this time. The railroads have been fortunate in Arizona in the way of radical legisla- tion, but it will be impossible for them to prevent extreme action of the next legislature unless they extend to the people part of the consideration which has been forced on them in other states.
 The press in the southern part of the territory is becoming very insistent in a demand for better rates and in re- cent issue the Douglas International American says:
 During the present month the only two manufacturing establishments in Douglas-the Copper City brewery and the Arizona Gypsum Plaster company have asked for a concession in the matter of freight rates which would enable them to extend their trade ter ritory. We are informed that they were given but title encouragement and that the rates are to remain practically at what they have been, which prohibit them from soliciting patronage further away from home.
 In the case of the Arizona Gypsum Plaster company, Mayor Adamson made . trip to San Francisco, where his pro duet is in great demand. He found that similar material was being shipped to that city from the state of Iowa, a distance of three thousand miles, for $7 a ton. From Douglas to San Fran cisco the distance is only about one thousand miles and the best rate offered here is $7, which is prohibitive so far as shipments to San Francisco are con eerned.
 This incident but illustrates the con dition of every industry and enterprise in the territory of Arizona, and shows the hardships put upon our people by the railroads which are in a position to stimulate all manner of business in this territory to their own profit.
 Arizona can never hope to become commercially important so long as pres ent freight rates are maintained by the railroads running through it. With Fl Paso on one side and Los Angeles on the other, both enjoying freight rates from the east less than half what is charged to Arizona points on many arti- eles, no man or company here can com pete for business with these cities
 A territorial association is being or ganized in Phoenix for the purpose of making thorough investigation of Arizona freight rates and to invoke the assistanc of the interstate com merce commission in bringing relief.
 To cooperate with this association, Douglas should have a local organiza- tion and our merchants should take the matter up without delay.

ARIZONA EXPLORATION co.
 PLAN EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS

Peter Winkelman was down at the county seat this week on business, says the Florence Blade. He has given the London & Arizona Exploration company an option on his splendid ranch, situ- ated just this side of Winkelman sta tion on the P. & E. The company is now building fine wagon road from this ranch up to. the O'Carroll mines, which now belong to the company aforesaid. A siding will be put in at the ranch for the accommodation of the company, and, eventually, tramway will be constructed from this siding to the mines, distant about four miles. The 7,OO0-ton smelting plant, to be erected by this company in the near fu- ture, will be located at the aforesaid siding.
