FOUL TIPS

Guess RUDE Gregg, Cleveland's
$4,000 beauty, is afraid he won't
make good. He demands a remit
lance of the 500 fine imposed by
the major league owners for his
failure to report and the guarantee
of his salary both ways in case he
fails to make good before he'll take
a chance. Gee, but amt he rough!

RACING IS BETTER
THAN WAS EXPECTED

Racing on the Pacific coast, even
despite the handicap of no betting,
was more successful this spring
than the predictions called for. Tom
Wl.,ams, president of the New
California Jockey club, announced
an extension of 20 days to the reg
ular program at Emeryville, where
the big Johnson-Jeffries prize fight
will be held. Early in the season
there was some doubt as to whether
there would be any racing at all at
Emeryville.

WHEN THIEVES LOSE OUT.

Joe Bethune, who had the misfor- tune, few days ago, to lose a fine set of harness through thieves, reeov- cred his articles yesterday, after they had travelled through three diff ferent channels and were finally To- eated at a second hand store, and replevined. The thief wno entered the barn and took the harness, turn ed the same over to a confederate. and the latter then switched the goods over to another person. While No. l was looking after a purchaser, and had bargained to sell for the sum of $1, and was returning to get the horse apparel, No. 2 steps in and steals the leathered goods from No. 3. The two losers then did double team work, and with the ss- sistanee of the officers, the stolen goods were found as above, with 8 $l tag as the consideration of the purchase. The windup of the tran sactiOn shows that the purchaser quit the game loser, the trio being permitted to retain their freedom without any charge being preferred against them. The harness had value of over $50.

THE BINGHAMPToN IS
 SHOWING BIG RETURNS
CFrom Thursdays Daiiy)

Before leaving for the East, yes terday, NJ. s. Taft made the an. nouncement that he recently inspect ed the Binghampton mine, near May CT, and was surprised at the immen- sity of the ore bodies recently de yeloped, making the unqualified state ment that over twenty-seven feet of a copper sulphide was in existence.
 The point where this remarkable condition is in evidence is in a crosseut run from the main tunnel to the west, being the first exploi- tation of that character ever given the mine, and was regarded as a de- eided surprise, accordingly. This i'm mense ore body was found within a few feet of where MT. Taft, many years ago, was conducting the de- yelopment, which all the more is to be regarded as showing the desirabil- ity of performing that character of mine work. This discovery was also connected up with other old work ings in an upraise run in previous operations, which is all the more to be regarded in the permanency of the big shoot that is established. l T. Stoddard has recently resumed de- velopment on the. property, and has been an earnest supporter of the project for over twenty-five years. The work continues and the enter prise is now considered as among the greatest mines of the future in this county, in copper producing pos abilities.

Line From Ash Fork To Bouse is Being
 Considered
Route Would Do Away With Main Line
 Grades

"Now that the Arizona & Eastern is completed and ready to be placed in operation, we will turn our atten- tion to the construction of another branch road in Arizona, which will be of greater benefit to the Santa Fe from a freight standpoint than |apy of the branch roads we nave yet built in this Territory"
 W. A. Drake, general manager of tk Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix, who is in Phoenix today, says the Republican, by this remark indicated that the officials of the Santa Fe are by no means through railroad building in Arizona. Continuing, MT. Drake said:
 "We are considering the building of a line from Ash Fork to Bouse, through the northeastern part of Arizona. It will give us an easy grade for the handling of freight, and will eliminate the heavy hauls between Ash Fork and to the west of Needles.
 ''I do not say that this road will be built at once, but l believe that it will come in time. It would start at Ash Fork, pass west of Granite Mountain, through the Kirkland Val ley to Hillside, from Hillside to Date Creek and across to Bouse."
 Drake called attention to the ad- vantage the road would nave in a down grade all the way from Ash Fork to Bouse for the handling of freight trains bound from the east for Pacific coast points. The ex- pensive haul from Ash Fork to Needles, along which there are sev- eral heavy grades, would be cut out.
 "The location of machine shops, terminal facilities and roundhouses along the Arizona & California de- pends largely on what is done about the building of the Ash Fork-Bouse cutoff Until that is settled no de- eision will be reached" added Drake.
 General Freight and Passenger Agent P. P. Hastings and F. F. Cruiee were in Phoenix with MT. Drake, to confer with General Agent Goldsworthy about the opening of the Arizona California road on July l, when the first train will leave here at : o'clock in the evening. Later on it is planned to rearrange the schedule of this train to make it as convenient as possible for To- cal people.

PRETTY TRIBUTE TO
 THE TWIN TERRITORIES
(The Mining World.)

Inc Aiming OElu-)
 Some one, we cannot just now re- call who, once wrote a book of the Southwestern United States and about Arizona and New Mexico in particular The title of the book was "Land of Poeo Tiempo,'' meaning the land of afterawhile-"m "manana, :" or tomorrow. Perhaps this title had a proper application in Arizona and New Mexico several decades ago, and may truly have represented a char aeteristie of the people of that per iOd, inherited possibly from the early Spanish settlers. Today, however, these states have as much get-there- on-the-spot as any section of the Union, for the American has arrived on the scene to see and do things in this erstwhile Gland of Poeo Tiem- po," bringing with him as a substi- tute for the Spanish everlasting manana," the keynote, edo it now"
 The lack of water and the dangers from the savage Apaches combined to delay development, but they did not stop them; now the Apaehes have gone to their happy hunting ground and the water problem, and other problems as they arose were prompt ly met and overcome. Then came the natural desire for statehood, but in this the game of politics mad to be played, and the sop of joint state hood was offered them. This was promptly refused and the fight kept up, with the result that last week, Thursday, the Senate of the United States placed its unanimous approval on the bill granting to Arizona and New Mexico separate statehood, and which action was very soon after followed by the signing of the bill by President Taft.
 Both Arizona and New Mexico are in the forefront a. mineral producing sections. In 1908, Arizona led all other states in the production of copper, having a total output of 2Se, ,523, ,267 pounds. Although show ing a gain over its 1908 production, it dropped to second in rank in 1910 as a copper producer, Montana as- suming the lead with 310,532, ,OOO pounds. In 1909 Arizona produced gold to the value of approximately $2,675,O0O and silver to the value of s1, ,49s, $50.
 New Mexico produced s,150,000 pounds of copper in 1909, as against 4,99l, ,351 pounds in 1908. In the same year gold to the value of $351,- 060 was taken out of its mines, and silver to the value of $167, ,503 Other minerals and metals of more or less importance are produced in quanti- ties. With the prestige of statehood there is every reason to expect much from the two youngsters.
 The Mining World extends the hand of welcome to the new states, which, with their rich resources of mineral wealth and the progressive ness of their citizens, should not be long in attaining a prominent place among the leaders in Uncle Sam s l household.
