 Dear Mir. President;
 In my telegram to you of yesterday | stated that it seemed as if the cleo ton of the Republican delegate from Arizona was assured. The fuller re turns now indicate that Cameron has been elected over Mark Smith by near ly one thousand plurality, thus re versing by substantial vote the large plurality of Mir. Smith of two year ago. This is naturally n matter o' great rejoicing to the Republicans ir the territory. IL seems to me 1t ough' 10 be of great aid to us in our appi cation for early statehood for Arizona hpoe it will seem wise to you tt make recommendation in your mes sage for sepcrate statehood for Ar'zo ma and New Mexico, in order that tho enabling act may, If possible, be pass ed by both branches of congress at th' coming short session.

BvLLIsN TENDENCY TO
 WORK MARKET HENCEFoRTH

NEW YORK. Nov .1s.--The devel. opments of the past week indicate with n clearness which cannot be de. nicd, that the good craft "Business Revival" has been launched and is at present rapidly floating out into deep water. The stock markets are leading the advance. The course of securities on the exchanges since election day shows that, in the minds of the great market operators, there is no doubt about the business future of the eoun. try. The speculative activity of the past few days is the forerunner of period of plenty. Securities are en- toying n bull market, which cannot culminatc until the high water mark of prosperity has been reached.
 Far and away the best opportuni' ties appear to be in the curb market and among the new meritorious devel' oping enterprises. The busniess revi' val is making for advances in the price of all the metals except silver, and the price of silver is certain to be effected favorably before long. Cop per k now only fractionally below l5c per pound. and in the opinion of the authorities the market is headed with certainty for an IS cent price. I' may not reach this price for some months, but that copper will settle around IS cents in the comparatively near future, few well informed mer
 doubt. In the meantime, good copper
 stocks are a purchase. The buying oi
 such. stocks as Miami, Cumberland
 Ely, Superior & Pittsburg, which Il
 recently opened another enormous bo
 dy of high grade ore, Imperial coppe
 of Arizona, Utah Copper, Nevada Cons. which on ore reserves seems t' he eonseryatively worth s30 a share
 Mason Valley and Ohio Copper, is re
 commended.
 The Goldfeld market is stronger
 but has not shown the same amount O
 strength since the election, as hay
 tbe Cobalts and the Coppers. Tho'
 Shotwell. one of the best authorities T New York on market matters, say
 that the Goldfelds, particularly Con solidated, are being "held down b
 main forcep until the completion ] the GoldReld Cons. mill. Until tha mill gets into operation marke movement would not be timely. ] } his judgment is correct, and 1t IS b' : lieyed that it is entirely sound, sue [ good Gold6eld stocks as Consolidate Florence, Combination Fraction, Dais and Kewanas, should be picked n 2 now
 . The passing of the smelters an , mines of the Consolidated Arizon Smelling Company into the hands Hooley. Learned X Co. seems to ina 3 cate that this enterprise is to be col - trollea by Burage and Lawson. IT s ? look out for fireworks. The stock ! great gamble.
