sidered at the session of the mining congress to be held this year.
 It is wise move on the part of the American Mining congress to have this matter thoroughly discussed by real mining men and a plan of action de- cided upon before the lawmakers at Washington, many of whom have never seen mine, commence legislating for an industry with which they are but little acquainted and the peculiar needs of which they do not know.
 This movement is quite extensive and thousands of the most prominent and representative mining men of America will participate. The officers of the Mining congress have every reason to believe that the next few years will see the mining statutes taken ont of their present chaotic condition and q uniform system of laws evolved which will give the miner consistent meas ure of relief from his present numerous difficulties. s

Conference Held over Ruberto--

Quite lengthy conference was herr yesterday over the fate of Alessandro Ruberto, the famous prisoner at the county jail. Those who participated were the postmaster and one of the deputy United States marshals on the part of the government, one of the dep uty sheriffs for the territory, and the president of the Saguaro club and one of the members of the board of govern. ors of the Globe chamber of commerce on behalf of the local merchants who profess to be afraid of Ruberto. |, is understood that, at the conclusion of the conference, Ralph Sturgis had unan- imously decided to place the prisoner in the custody and keeping of the United States government.

Alcssandro Rubcrto Wanted
 in Many Cities on Charges of Various Crooked Games

Deputy Shoriff Hurst arrived last and, after an interview with Sheriff Thompson, expressed the conviction that he would have no difficulty in obtain ing the custody of the man he had come for, saying that, in his opinion, no writ of habeas corpus would be granted. '
 1T will have the requisition papers tomorrow,o he said. "It will not be necessary to take Ruberto to Phoenix. The reputation papers were sent to the capital with . request that they be sent from there to me in care of Sheriff Thompson, here, and after I have them we can start right for Memphis, stop ping over at Fl Paso, San Antonio and New Orleans.
 "Are you sure the man held here is the one you wantf" the Memphis of- fcer was asked.
 "Suref Why, look here, and be cx. hibited police circular with full face and a profile view of Ruberto which could not possibly be taken for any one else. And, let it be noted, both pictures showed the man wearing the glasses, lack of mention of which in the description wired here gave Attor- ney Flannigan 50 much ground for ar, guing mistaken identity. Also, the cir |cular, besides giving sn accurate -ds- scription of the prisoner as a pudgy little man,. five feet and seven inches high, with brown hair, hazel eyes, mus tache streaked with gray, etc., went on to say that Ruberto was a notorious Italian confidence man, operating ex. clusively among Italian grocers and store keepers to whom he sold goods to obtain their notes, which he discounted before skipping out of town, and had served term in Sing Sing prison in New York.
 "Ruberto is badly wanted in the south, " said Hurst. There is no re- ward out for him. He victimized q lot of poor people of his nationality, who simply got together ana made up the money to send me out here. These were people who had little money, say about thousand dollars, in bank and were arranging to go into business on larger scale. Ruberto would come along, find out in what bank their money was deposited, and fleece them out of 1t. He has taken as little as s35 from poor old women who were running little shops. He would take whatever he could get," and the of fcer exhibited several letters from various points, including Atlanta and Salt Lake City, where complaints of Ruberto had been made.
 The indications are that the Florence Distilling company, which supplied Ra. berto with funds for his defense here will shortly go out of business. In the meanwhile, everybody is wait ing to see what will be done with the prisoner today

MORE UNIFORM MINING LAWS
Badly Needed and Win Probably Reach Realization Through Federal
 Mining Department

Mining men all over America are each year becoming more strongly impressed with the fact that the mining laws of the United States are badly in need of revision; and if all the laws affecting mining were revised in accordance with some idea of uniformity and system, the man engaged in this occupation would find fewer obstacles confronting him and fewer inducements to the lit igation which seems to be costly and exasperating factor of great fre- quency in mining.
 While it is true that in many mining localities, problems of purely local inn port arise, which could be best remedied by local attention, at the same time suitable changes in existing federal laws, and the adoption of few addi. tional ones demanded by the wisdom born of experience, would settle many of the vexing questions with which the miner now has to contend.
 Few mining men, outside of those who have made careful study of the question, are very fully aware of the number and magnitude of the difficult ties which beset the miner on many sides. At several sessions of the Amer. ican Mining congress frequent discus sions were indulged in by prominent mining men respecting the general re, 
 vision of the federal mining laws, and 1t has come to be an almost universal demand that the congress of the United States give more attention to the i'm. portant industry of mining. What the miner wants is reasonably full value for his ore from the smelter that treats it.; the assurance that title to his prop erty after patent is secure; fair meas ure of assistance from the government in experimental and research work; the right to use freely, but wisely, of the timber of forest reserves; appropriate action, drastic if necessary, to lessen wild-catti.s. Some measure of re- lief will undoubtedly be furnished by tte bureau of mines which, from pres. snt indications, will be established by the congress now in session. But the principal disadvantage will not be over. come until more complete revision of lthe mining laws is effected, and it is to be hoped that the mining congress will be successful in arousing suf- | f,iently forceful sentiment on this question that the congress of the United StaSes cannot fail to hear and act. Com. mittees of experts are now making an exhaustive study of the question which will be one of the foremost to be con.

To Enlarge Gas Plant

Arrangements are being made by the Globe Gas & Electric company for an extensive enlargement of its plant. Ac- cording to the plans, the pipe lines will be extended to reach every district of tho city in order to furnish gas for cooking, heating and lighting where de- sired. The capacity of the gas plant now in service would, of course, be in- adequate for such service, and it is proposed to increase it by 50,000 cubic feet day, making it 10000 cubic feet day, instead of 20,00O, as it now is. The execution of the plans are contin. gent upon certain conditions, but Man. ager Barrett of the company stated yes terday that he thought they would be carried out in the near future.
