BUILDING CONDUITS
Railroad and Telephone Com.
 paDy Want 10 Use Sireeis.

The attitude of Mayor Thoms re- garding the application of the tele- phone company to construct con duits in the public streets will not excite much comment in any quar- ter. It would be difficult to see how public man could do anything else, for the part the company played in the legislature when the applica- tion of the board of aldermen for permission to build conduits in the streets was before that body stirred up bigger hornets nest than the company thinks, or cares perhaps. Of course this thing will go on un- til the people of the state realize what they are doing upon them- selves and give the g. o. p. a leave of absence with the assurance that it will be returned to power as soon as it shows a disposition to do what is right by the whole people and not before. Talking on the matter to- day Mayor Thoms said:
 'I think the New Haven road and the Southern New England Tele- phone company exhibit a most colos- sal nerve in asking the city to give them permission to lay conduits in our streets. Just a year ago the city tried to get permission from the legislature to lay such conduits in its own streets, and both those corporations instructed their lobby ists in Hartford to oppose such a measure. They did oppose it, and through their control of the senate defeated it, the entire railroad crowd, led by Judge Walsh of Greenwich, who, see, now wants 10 go to congress, voting against 1t, their chief argument being that the city of Waterbury hadn't brains enough to construct and operate such plant.
 Just so long as the New Haven road and the Telephone company continue their selfish and narrow policy of refusing the right to this city of lighting its own streets and building its own conduits, because they happen to be in the same line of business, just so long I trust that this city will have backbone enough to deny them the right to rip and tear up our streets, for no compensation, to lay conduits to benefit no one but themselves, and which as their agents admitted at the hearing in Hartford, they sublet at profit to other people,"

.K|BBEY BACK FROM
 THE NATIONS CAPITAL
STATEHOOD BILLS CAREFULLY LOOKED AFTER, BUT MOTH
 ING ASSURED.

PHOENIX, December 30.-Governor Kibbey returned home yesterday from Washington, where he went on variety of missions, but primarily to attend the second session of the conservation con gress. Incidentally, there were hall dozen other congresses Tn session carry in the month besides the real one that does the big talking and takes the final action. Besides the usual mum Der of visitors drawn to Washington Dy the opening of the national congress, the governor said it was estimated that there were about four thousand dele gates in the city to attend the other big conventions that included the con seryation. the Southern Commercial and the Rivers and Harbors congresses.
 Asked about the statehood question, the governor said that all the Arizon- ans were there, of course, doing all they could in that direction, but there was little that could be done thus far. Everybody was busy during the opening of the session, both in congress and in connection with the many other import ant things going on. Toward the latter part of the session people were also busy preparing for the holidays, many leaving early for home to enjoy the fes' tivities. It was a particularly busy month in the capital, and much atten' tion was paid to politics and the inter esting gossip connected with cabinet making.
 The governor said, however, in giving his opinion, that Arizona would be full I-hedged state within eighteen months. He would not say but that Il might be somewhat earlier, but he be lieves state government will be or
 canized as soon as that, anyway. Il
 is a project that can only move abou
 so fast, any way. There is little tha
 can be done until after the holidays
 when the committees will take up tn
 statehood bills. He will be informed
 constantly as to what is going on, an' if the occasion arises when ne believe
 he can be of any service in furtherini
 the cause of statehood, he will returi
 again to Washington.

GOLD MINE Is
 RE-bONDED BY PASADENA MEN
AmaSvisca Property h Yuma County Leased One Year Ago Is Again Turned Over By the BondholderS.

Another Yuma county mine has made good. The Amasvisca strike, bonded last summer to Los Angeles and Pas adena people for s100,000, has been rebonded by the present holders for $600,000, says the Yuma Examiner.
 News of the deal, which either has been consummated or is about to be, reached Yuma yesterday in a letter from George H. Barker, Pasadena, president of the Mayhew Free Milling Gold company, capitalized at 1000, ,00G. shares at a par value of s1 each. The deal makes the stock worth 60 cents a share Felix Mayhew, the Hodges brothers and a number of other local people are large shareholders.
 This is quick action on the property, as the strike was made only few months ago. It is in the King of Ari- zona district near the North Star. Frank Amayisca and A. E. Soderman made the lucky find. Afterward George Hodges, Felix Mayhew and one or two others became interested with them. When they bonded to the Californians they received cash payment of S3000 and each of them received some stock in the company which was organized at that time. The details of the agree ment were never made public Since the deal was made George Hodges and others have been at the camp most oi the time experimenting development. A great deal of work has been done and every foot down the property mas improved Two large veins of rich gold bearing ore were encountered in the search for the surface ledge.
 Recently the property was examnec by a noted Los Angeles expert, who stated that if the property was for sale he would undertake to bond it to Eng fish capitalists who. were looking for some such proposition He said, too. that vast deal of good low grade stuff in that country was being overlooked in the scramble for the big strikes and that the district had "a better future than others have thought. For one thing, he thought tha plenty milling water could be had from wells at a reasonabl depth and that it might be that power could be generated from the Colorado river and transmitted by wire to the Kofa camp. His visit prob ably resulted in the deal which now is being made.
