New Process For Copper.

Due to the invention of a new cop per teaching process recently made by Denver mining expert, active operations on large scale will be commenced on the properties of the White Mesa Copper Company in Coconino county early in May.
 The invention is one of great inn portance, as it makes possible the mining of ores adapted to the leach ing process at a profit to many oper- ators whose mines are now idle on ac- count of the cost of reduction by old methods.
 Attorney General E. S. Clarke, who is a, large stockholder in the White Mesa Copper company, after his re turn to Flagstaff announced that his company will commence the develop ment of it's holdings in the next thirty days.
 Sheriff Francis of Coconino county who is also a. large stockholder, will leave Flagstaff for Denver in a few days to make arrangements for the installation of the new teaching pro- cess at the mines. Active operations will follow his return from Denver.
 The company's holdings comprising 45 claims are located immediately south of the Colorado river, roo miles north of Flagstaff, the nearest rail road point. The claims lie immedi- ately west of the Navajo mountain and are surrounded by the Navajo Indian Reservation.
 The great copper deposit was dis covered several years ago. The title passed into the White Mesa Copper company later. The deposit is opened by several shafts, and tunnels, but no extensive development was ever at tempted on account of the great dis tance from the railroad transporta- tion and the rebellious character of the ores.
 Several examinations by competent mining engineers prove that the en- tire deposit samples : per cent in copper. Surface ores, when assayed, gave returns ranging from 20 per cent to A. per cent in copper. The values are in sandstone.

It is interesting to note that con- gress is at last to erect fitting and enduring monument to the memory of Major Powell. The sundry civil act for the fiscal year 1910, passed March 3, appropriated S5,OOO for a monument or memorial to John Wesley Powell, former director of the United States geological survey, to be erected on the brink of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in the Grand Canyon forest reserve in Arizona, in recognition of his distinguished public services as a soldier, explorer, and administrator of government scientific work. The site for this proposed monument was suggested by Powell's memorable trips down the Grand Canyon in 1869 and 1S72--exploitso of perilous venture that naturally appeal to mems sense of the hazardous and the heroic.

Senator AIdrich faVOrS Arizona.

Colonel Il. l.. RlCketC, WnO recently returned from trip to Washington, states there is at present no chance of getting statehood at the present session of congress, but there is all reason to believe that when the bill is again passed by the house in De- cemDer, that there will be little or no opposition in the senate.
 At the present time in the senate there are twelve senators who are pronounced in their opposition to the granting of statehood to the terri tories, who are led by Senator Be- veridge, and these senators were the cause of the bill being defeated when it was in the senate few weeks ago.
 Colonel Pickett says Senator Aid rich, one of the senators who had been on the side of the opposition, gave his assurance that he would not only support the bill next fall, but would do his utmost to help secure it's passage and was of the opinion that there would be but little opposition to the passage of the bill at the next regular session.
 The colonel states that the general opinion in Washington at the present time is that there will be nothing done at the extra session of congress, but the action on the tariff bill and the possible passage of the inheritance tax.
 While the colonel was in Washing ton the correspondent of the Nashville American sent the following to his paper, which is reprinted here to show the esteem in which the colonel is regarded in his old home.
 "Here attending the session of the supreme court is Col. H. l.. Pickett of Tombstone, Arizona, former citizen of Tennessee, and native of Wilson county, who represented it in the legislature in 1878. He was a con- spicuous advocate of state credit when that was the great issue in Tennessee politics. His ability as an advocate won him the honor of having the county of Pickett named after him.
 "Mr. Pickett moved to Arizona In 1882, and is practicing law at Tomb stone. While here he has incl dentally looked after the statehood interests of the territory. He has been cordially greeted by Tennessee ans who knew him when he was a young political leader at home, and who are proud of the prospect that he will be one of the first two senators to represent the new state of Arizona which is assured of being in existence not later than next year by enact ment of congress at its next regular session, if not at the coming extra session.

Best Treatment For Golds.

"Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment" says the Chicago Tribune, "moderative laxa- tives, hot foot baths, a free perspira- tion an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment" While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adopting it must remain in doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is almost sure to be contracted, and in many instances pneumonia follows. Is it not better to pin your faith to an old reliable preparation like Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, that is famous for it's cures of colds and can always be depended upon? For sale by all druggists.

A dispatch from Washington last week says: Those who endeavored to secure statehood for Arizona and New Mexico at the last session of congress are not relaxing their efforts in that direction. At present they are taking steps preparatory to pre- senting a statehood bill at the next regular session. Hamilton of Michi- gan, who will probably be chairman of the house committee on territories, is gathering data and perfecting the land grant clause in the bill. Presi- dent Taft has given his assurances that he will do all in his power to push the measure through both honSeS

D. A. R. Asking Aid For Worthy Cause.

Ma1icopa Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution is sending out circular letters to the teachers of the Territory requesting their co-opera- tion and that of their pupils in raising funds for memorial and historical work in Arizona.
 While the primary object of the society was to perpetuate the ID emory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence their work is not confined to the Revolutionary period.
 As result of eighteen years loyal, intelligent work, a traveller over the highways of America, who loves his country and its history, will surely delight in reading by the wayside it's stories, written in tablets. monuments and historical arches, each telling its own story of time and place, action and actor. when and s whom history was made.
 Arizona is rich in deeds of historic value, which were vital in the found- ing of our common wealth and should not be forgotten.
 The brave pioneers who faced the perils of the "Great American Desert" are just as worthy place in our his tory as those who braved the perils of the ocean.
 The patriotic women and children of 4l allia6 Tn fha nj iI nf the "Daughters" in their work of pre- serving and marking the great trails over which the pioneers travelled from the Mississippi valley to the Pacific coast.
 The stories of these great trails read like an epic and the historical spots in our own Arizona are all as- sociated with as much suffering hero ism and success as those of the great trails or the homes of the revolution ary heroes in the east.
 This work should unite all portions of our Territory in common cause in thus honoring the brave men and women who faced every trial, hard ship and danger which pioneers must always endure.
 Love of home aud love of country flourish best side by side and it is earnestly hoped the appeal of the Daughters will meet a generous response.
 Contributions should be sent to Mrs. Walter Talbot, State Regent, Phoenix Arizona.

who witnessed the struggle know he did.
New York had the game won until the
third inning, in which Tinker was Chicago's
first batter. During the entire season
Tinker had been hitting Mathewson hard
and the psychologist effect OF past perform
aRces has much to do with. pitching and
batting. Mathewson feared Tinker, and he
signaled Seymour to play deep In centre
field. He was afraid that a long drive by
Tinker might turn the tide of battle. Sey-
mour saw the signal, but disregarded it,
having an idea that Tinker would hit a
low line fly, SO he crept a few steps closer
to the infeld, instead of moving back.
"Matty'' dropped his famous fade away"
over the plate and Tinker drove a long,
high. line fly to left centre. Seymour made a
desperate effort to reach the ball, but fell
a few feet short, and the ball rolled to
the crowd in the out1eld for a three-base
hit and started a rally that gave Chicago
the victory. If Seymour had played at deep
field as he was commanded to do, the prob
abilities are that New York would have
won the pennant. !.
