Aldrich and his crowd will keep state
hood from the territories as long as

Marcus A. would not come right out
and say That he did not think the
territories would not get the much
coveted statehood at this session of
congress. He sal he would have to
wait until ho reached Washington
when he could tell in a few days
whether the territories were to be-
come states. But his enthusiasm over
the prospect of immediate statehood
was about as warm as the west wind

FAMOUS OLD ARIZONA
MINE AGAIN TO BE
ACTIVELY OPERATED

Prescott. Ariz.. Dee. 7.-Announee-
ment was made yesterday that the
creation of the Swastika Development
company had been perfected and that
following the entry of the syndicate
into this field, the beginning of work
would be inauguratcd mex week. II.
l.. Wright OF the Prescott Electric
company is president, and w. Wood
Of Mayer Is vice president and gen
eral manager. The later viii have
charge of the development. Associated
with the enterprise are several
wealthy eastern people.
1t was learned from President
Wright that the old Black Warrior
mine in the Bradshaws is to be the
scene of the main work for the future.
II was also learned that the Silver
Prince that adjoins on the north is
included in the ownership of the
Swastika people, Running parallel is
the Isle and the Hardscrabble mines,
making a desirable group OF our
mines.
II reads like a tale of the olden
days to see the familiar name OF the
Black Warrior and the Silver Prince
revived. Around zach is the halcyon
days when silver was standard at S1.29
AN ounce: when il was 500 miles To
the nearest shipping point for educ
ton; when men in their frenzy were
rushing into hat field. when the old
Peck was yielding its fabulous wealth,
and when. too. the Warrior and the
Prince were running neck and neck
with their white metal and when as If
by magic, trouble took place in each
of the companies. litigation followed
for the riches. and to cap the climax
the value of the metal went down to
it practically is today.
Under these conditions the Warrior
up it's yield until the inevitable
crash struck II. II went the way OF
the other silver mines in that famed
