Col. Pickett On
 Arizona Pianks

Hearty endorsement of the consti- tuition of Arizona, as it is now srrsng. ed, is offered by Col II. l.. Pickett of Tombstone, who Is now st the Holleubeck hotel in this city. | If statehood is granted to the ter ritory,it is probable that Col. H. L Pickett will be a candidate for the United States senate. Several per sors, it is stated, have endorsed his cand idacy and many friends predict that Colonel Pickett will be chosen ss the Southern representative of Ariz. ons.
 Col. Pickett says he long has been an ardent sdyorste of the direct cleo tion of the United States senstors. and ststes that he is strongly in favor of the recall of the judiciary. The constitution of Arizona, ss ratified with an so per cent majority. is just what the people of the terri. tory want" Colonel Pickett said to. day. Furthermore, the people Of Arizona stand ready to support that constitution.
 They Know What They Want.
 "Ar zonans know what they want and they consider themselves capable Of making a constitution without the assistance of the president, and the members O. congress.
 "If the amendment eliminating the recall of the judiciary from the con s.itution Ia submitted to the voters of the territory, 1t will be over shelming. ly defeated. The people are deter mined not to be dictated to what they shsll put in their constitution
 They believe that they have the privilege of putting in anything they desire, providing it is republican in form and not in violation of the constitution of the United States, and slso conforms to the enabling act.
 "Arizonans beiieve in the people ruling, and in their constitution as it stands. The people oi the territory are anxious to be admitted as 6 state'
 They expect the Flood joint resolu- tion to pass the senate.
 Will Be Wonderful State
 "Arizons will be wonderful state if it is admitted. It is one of the richest copper sections in the United States. Last year it led all the states in the production Of copper, with an output of 292 .s75.l0O pounds.
 "Cochice county, which has be- come famous for it's great copper de- poeits, produced about one-balf o! the amount The principle place of pro dnction vas Bisbee, where one com pany paid abou, s6 100000 in divi- dends Cochise is the most popu- lous and wealthy county iu the ter. ritory. It also has some o' the most prosperous towns.
 "Douglss is the greatest smeting point in the territory, and Tomb. stone, the county seat Of Cochise, ie the most ideal city in Arizona" Colonel Pickett has been actively identified in the upbuilding of Aris. ons in recent years. He is lawyer of experience, and is vel! known in both Arizona and New Mexico-Los Angeles Express
