That none of the big mining com panies upon whose development and prosperity the hope of Courtland rests are to establish mercantile store of any kind whatever, is the announce ment made by mining official high in authority to an Arizonan representative. The announcement has been hailed with satisfaction by many who have come to Courtland hoping that such condition would prevail, and upon which depend. cd the investment of thousands of in. dependent capital in the new town. This decision on the part of the big com. panies means that every dollar of the pay rolls, which inside of year will almost certainly amount to over $200,. 900 monthly, will find it's way into gen eral circulation, and an era of great prosperity result.

It is quite possible that work will begin within three months on the con struction of motor line from Phoenix to Scottsdale, says the Republican. It has been estimated that the cost of such a line with equipment will bc sl25,000, and one.half of that amount has been subscribed. The line contem. plated between Phoenix and Scottsdalc is designed to tap the orange belt, 10 form n connecting link with Inglesido where large ranch house with fifteen cottages is being built, and to carry bects that may be grown in this section to the factory at Glendale. It is part of the project after the initial line is in working order, to extend it to Glen dale, and after that to reach across the river and take in Tempe and Mesa The line will be known as the Phoenix.

UNCERTAIN IN STATEHOOD
 POLITICS
SMITH SAYS NO ONE CAN TELL WHICH PARTY WOULD BE
 IN CONTROL

Following is an interview with Mark Smith in the Washington Post:
 "Arizona, when admitted to tho union, will be like any other state--it will not send one democrat to the sem ate and one republican, but will choose two members of one party said Dele gate Mark Smith at the New Willard.
 "It is by no means certain that the legislature would be democratic. The territory is democratic now by small majority, and if admitted to the union it would depend largely upon what sec tions of the country We would draw our immigrants from whether the state would be democratic or republican. It is peculiar thing that in most cases new states have disappointed the party under whose administration they have been admitted.
 Washington aud Montana both were admitted when the democrats were in power, but the very first election the republicans gained control, and the states sent republicans to the senate. Wyoming came in under republican rule, and it has continued to be a republican state, but even in that case the first chance the state had it elected dem. oerat to congress. So I say, it is hard to tell what the. political complexion of Arizona would be after its admission.
 "It has been the experience of all new states that a great influx of peo- pie go in after admission to the union, and it will be the same with Arizona. If we should draw our people from Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma, we would become democratic state; but if the people were to come from Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, and other northern states, the chances are the state would be republican. It is ridic- ulous, therefore, to assert that the lcgis- latnre of Arizona would elect one repub- Iican senator and ore democrat. IL would be, as I say, just like any other state.
 Yes. the people of Arizona are very fond of Senator -Foraker. Personally, l regard him as the greatest man in the republican, party, and it will be a great loss to that party when he retires. He has only one equal in the senate, and that is Bailey. have come to look upon him now as the highest type of American statesman.

 Later while Romero was waiting to be taken down to.a cell he asked Judge Rice, speaking in good English, Where such a transaction occurs in Mexico is it an offense here7"
 The judge informed him that was a point of law to come up on his hearing; that he could have counsel and would be admitted to $500 bond for a hearing on Tuesday next at ten o'clock. Lopez replied that he had neither cash or bondsmen and it was cell for him for the next few days at least.
