 The company has purchased a 90 horse power engine and a 60-horse power boiler This was necessary in order to increase the capacity for pumping water and running the hoist Captain Roberts Is very much pleased with the showing. and his predictions,
 made when he first visited the Els iperanza in November. 1907. are being verified. He believes the Esperanza is going to prove one of the finest pro
 ducers in the country. and lin this opinion he is enjoined by several ex | PerieDced mining Inen who recently visited the property.

pesslmlsTlc VIEW.

Under the caption. "Chances Slim for Statehood, the Arizona Gazette, mouthpiece for the territorial officials, prints the following:
 Chances for statehood at the pres ent session of congress are very dark. according to the latest information from Washington. Senator Bever- idge, who was the chief supporter of fought separate statehood, Is evident ly adopting new dodge, and by his absence from Washington at the time the bill. which yesterday passed the house, comes up in the senate, hopes to defer action until after the census of 1910. It Is a clever little scheme and there is considerable apprehen- sion that it may not fail.
 Beveridge Is now out of Washing ton and will be until the 27th. In Q day or two the statehood bill will come before I1ne senate. Senator Al ,irich, according 10 reports that reach here. will object to it's consideration at that time upon the grounds that the chairman of the committee on territories, Mir. Beyeridge, is not pres ent. and the senator owes IL to such an important member of such an im- portant committee to hear what he has to say about the measure.
 When Bcveridge returns upon the 27th the senate will have too much ether bushes to dispose of before the end of the short session to heed the calls of New Mexico and Arizona for the admission to the sisterhOod of s,ates. lt IS extremely unlikely that
 -lything wifi be taken up at the spe- -.aI session Of congress to Dc sum- raoncd by President Taft Immediately after his inauguration, except the bus mess for which the session is called By the time there is another session the census of 1910 will be but Q few months on. and congress will think It just as well to wait and find how many people the territories really have before admitting them to the union.

 We read that the Calumet < Heola company may control other mines and be greater factor than ever befoie iu the copper producing and metai selling industries. The company has persistently remained aloof from nli sorts of combinations and under standings with the object of regu'a ing prices. but in the past it coulo well do this. as it really did, to a great extent fix the market. IL was net so many years ago that it was tn. greatest single factor in the copper making business Then Michigan led all others in the production of the red metal and the big mine rep resented the major portion of the Mich gan copper yield. Very rapidly Montana followed, finally passed the Michigan output and now Arizona leads Montana. Michigan having dropped to third place.

 With Calumet & Hecla, Phelps Dodge and Amalgamated interests working in harmony a great good should result to the copper trade. In the Phelps-Dodge we include tae Cal umet and Arizona. Superior and Pittsburg and Allied interests. In Amalgamated we may put North Butte. Butte Coalition. Giroux and other concerns closely associated in principal makeup. Together these interests would represent a very large percentage of the copper 1lanufsc- tured in America, ana 1t may be tha, concert of action oa the part of these important factors win be br6M sht shrOt. We judge from reading tae eastern papers that something Of this sOr- Is being contemplated. or may CYeE be working uJw. l. would be tae proper thing to do. United States Steel has shown the benefits Cd main taining a legitimate price. There used to be great opposition to the plan. It was said to be harmful, m. American andn bound ot overthrow but Steel has made good in the face of dire predictions, aas kept prices within conservative limits. and has used Is power for the good of all the iron and steel markets of the entire country.
 Copper could be just as well man aged and the industry would be great ly benefited by such a stinulant. The consumers would then know exactly how to plan for tAe future. would plac' their orders in quantity and the miner would know. how to operate to care for the needs Of the country.
 We sincerely noTse the talkcd-of bet ter understanding is a fact, because we know 1t would be vast advantage to the copper industry of our country
