 The new gold strike at Pearce on the Monmonier group is developing into what promises to be bonanza. The character of the ore is iourine and literally sprinkled with free gold. With the progress of work the ledge becomes wider and the indications exceed the sanguine expectations of the fortunate owners. All available ground for miles around the strike has been talk en up and other important strikes are looked for.

 Yesterday afternoon : Grammar

 A most interesting and profitable one
 II anyone present had considerd read 1 ing and literature of minor import
 ance, the papers and discussions of
 this session should etfectually re nov Q any such idea and awaken them to
 greater activity and effort along this
 line.
 The able paper by Mss A Viola

Some Reasons Why We Should be Granted
 Statehood

Yes We want statehood. We are just as good without it, our mines are just as deep and rich, our sunshine just as glorious. but We want it and We must have it because:
 The people are in the East, the money is in the East, and these people imagine that so long as Arizona Is a territory, holdups, bad men, and scalp ing parties are in evidence every day in the year. You cannot make them under stand that Arizona is one of the most progressive and law abiding communities in the nation, so long as we are a territory. We must circum- vent their ignorance and the only way to do it, is to secure statehood.
 As soon as this: has been accomplished, Eastern people with Eastern capital will i'm mediately conclude that Ari. zona has become civilized, That their bad scalps will no longer be in danger That they can walk forth in broad day light without intercepting the bullet of the bold high wayman. that churches may be rearing their steeples to the sky, that school houses may dot the embrio common wealth, that capital and in dividuals have ample se- curity.
 Until statehood is obtained you can never convince those old orthodox fools that all O. these splendid conditions already exist.
 Therefore We want state hood, and then capital will bt poured into the territory by the barrel and We shall have recognition in the eyes of tn, financial and commercial world.
