A large delegation of liquor men from all over the territory is on the ground, and if rumors are true, the delegation will be largely augmented before next week, when the Pace bill is likely to come up for debate.
 While the bill at this writing seems certain of passage, such result may be in doubt before the bill goes to vote for final passage. Were the bill to be so amended as to give every in eoEporated city the right to vote for itself on the establishment of a city local option district, the bill would be certain of passage.

the government with a violation of every act under which big corporations have been prosecuted by the govern ment for creating a monopoly. The resolution passed the house unanimous " and the senate on a strict party vote.
 The knell of the rangers was sound ed in the final passage by the council of the Weedin bill abolishing the force. Goodrich and Hampton voted with the Republicans against the bill.
 Weedin declares he has enough votes in the assembly to pass it over Kip bey's veto.
 Other bills introduced in the senate were:
 By Hampton, giving prior rights to developers of percolating water and segregating water from land claims;
 By Morgan, for the collection of road tax at the same time and manner as personal property and making de- llnqueney property lien, and for dl- viding counties into supervisor dis tricts;
 By Norton, empowering railroads in- corpOrated under the laws of Arizona to purchase outside lines upon consent of two-thirds of the stockholders, and the assumption of debts and intentions to make a connecting line.
 Councilman Norton's bill fixing tne salaries and fees of probate judges and the O'Neil bill relative to jury lists were reported favorably by committees and sent to the third reading.
 In the assembly the only bill of i'm portanee was by Sutter, fixing the sal aries of clerks of. the districts courts as follows: first class, $S,OOO; second class, $2,25O; third, s1,5OO; fourth, fifth and sixth classes, $1,OOO.

RICH SULPHIDE ORE IS
 DISCOVERED AT OLD BULLARD
From Wednesdays Daily)

It is reported that a body of rich sulphide ore was uncovered last week in the old Bullard mine in Cunning ham Pass district, owned by the Gun ningham Pass Copper Mining Compa- ny. The find was made in a crosscut from the 300 foot station in the pros pecting shaft. The ore body is a continuation of the shoot opened in the upper levels. It is four feet in thickness and is richer in copper and gold than any ever found in the mine.
 The management had almost given up hope of finding the vein in the crosscut and the stopping of work in il was under consideration when a round of holes exposed a glittering body of sulphides. The shaft is per pendicular. Surveys showed that the vein would be countered at a depth of 800 feet. At the 300 foot level 1t was decided to erosscut to the vein. After running the opening 8 consider able distance beyond where it was an ticipated the lead would be found, no vein matter being in sight, the men in charge believed that the vein did not go down, and were about to abandon further work at that point when the ore was uncovered. The dip of the vein lessens with depth which caused the misgivings of the men in charge of operations in not finding the ore where the dip of the ledge in the up per levels indicated.
 A new air compressor and air drills recently purchased by the company was delivered at Wenden a few days ago. The machinery will be hauled 10 the mine and put in place as soon as possible, when the sinking of the 5OO- foot shaft will be pushed.
 The syndicate which recently pur- chased the Ultimatum group of mines in the Tank Pass district is setting up new ehurn drills to explore the ore bodies with view of determining the best location for a deep working shat. The drills have boring capacity of 1000 feet.
 At the Vulture mine, a force of men is engaged repairing one of the old shafts and levels from it, preparing for large operation
