CONDITION OF
STATE TREASURY

Pierre, July 1O-The report of con-
ditions of the state treasury for June
80, showed &42l, 1856 in all funds, of
which Sl99,231 was in the general
fund. 1t is estimated that this will
carry the treasury on cash basis
until the receipts come in from the
September call, and for some time
longer, indicating that the state will
continue to run on cash basis well
toward the first of next year, and if
the September call is equal to carry
ing demands over to December, the
cash on the call of that month will
mean a continuation Of cash pay
ments.
For June the disbursemelts on Tho
general fund reached $7O,O5s 46 and
the disbursements from the common
school income fund, which goes dir
ectly to the schools was $40, ,9S7 The
game fund shows SIS, ,8Ss on hand, and
this will go into the general fund in
case a test suit which is to be brought
in the supreme court sustains the
contention of the state auditor that
there is no specific appropriation of
that fund for the game department.
Up to June 30, the interest on state
funds which has been paid into the

TWO BLOWS FOR STATEHOOD.

That Alaska is. acquiring the at. tributes of a sovereign state, it shows in the quality of the Terri tOrial delegate it now mas in Wash ington. There is hardly a star in the glorious constellation of. our flag which is not representative of a state which, in the annals of our rep resentative government, has sent men to one end or the other of the Capitol prepared to meet the short and ugly word with left counter and a right arm return. Oklahoma, youngest of the sisternood, has all ready, since admission, taken her place among those worthy of their credentials. We doubt if a state could be found which, in some of the storms through which the ship of state has been called to pass has not raised a defiant voice above the gale.
 For To, these many years, the dele gates elected by the Territories have sat dumb Not entitled to east votes. seldom consulted in an advisory ca pacity, and figuring mainly in the Congressional Record with requests for leave to print, the Territorial delegates have too long been re- garded as negligible quantities.

YOUNG WOMAN DIES.
From Sundays Daily)

Telegrams received from Phoenix yesterday, conveyed the sad news that Mrs. Edwin c. Payne, Jr., passed away in that city the evening pre-. vious, heart trouble being the fatal afflietion. The husband of the de ceased is the son of MT. and Mrs. E. c. Payne of this city, and a sad feature of the death of this estim- able woman is that her marriage took place in Presett last June. Al ter the nuptials Mir. Payne left for Jerome, where he was with the United Verde Copper company, in the mechanical department. He had been in Phoenix but short time when the sad summons came The death of Mrs. Payne will be re- ceived with sorrow by many friends residing here as well as elsewhere. The body arrived from Phoenix this and the funeral will take place in this city today.

POLITE CH|NKS CAUGHT WITH
 GOODS
(From Tuesdays DaiIy)


 Chinatown was successfully raided, Sunday night, by Deputy U. S. Mar shal B. Anderson of Phoenix, and Custom Inspector George N. Sayre of Nogales, under an infringement of the Federal opium statutes. H. s. Creighton, customs agent of Nogales, was also in attendance, supervising the prosecution of the criminal pro- eeedings. The amount of opium con fiseated reached a total of nearly $500, which was encased in about twelve full taels. The officers stated that they were somewhat dis appointed in the amount of opium secured, and anticipated that a very much larger stock was in the possess ion of the Chinese of that quarter. On entering the various places where Orientals abide they were sur prised at the courtesy extended them, and after they were permitted to delve into every nook and corner, to open boxes and other storage places. realized that the "brethren !" of Phoenix had "tipped" the game, and the proceeds, accordingly, were very small, compared with what was actually on hand.
 The Friday night before, MT. Sayre states, one of the most fruit ful raids ever conducted in the Ter ritory was successfully accomplished in Phoenix, and nearly $500 worth of opium was taken. He says fur ther that the Chinese of Phoenix were not quite ready for the of ficers, while in Prescott the reverse prevailed. In Tucson, Nogales and all other towns in the south, raid ing has been going on for several months, and owing to the introdue tion of the hop from Mexico, that field is prolific of good results.
 The eonfscation in this city result ed in the capture of three Chinamen with the goods. Two gave bonds in the sum of $500 each, while the third remained in the custody of the officers. They will appear before the next Federal grand jury, probably in September.

Washington inclined to regard Alas
 kan Statehood as a joke big in
 proportion with the size of the Ter
 ritory. The Alaska delegate, James
 Wickersham of Fairbanks, is big in
 proportion with Alaska, but nobody can take him for as big joke. When MT. Mondell of Wyoming used the short and ugly word in character izing one of MT. Wickersham's s state ments, the Alaska delegate asserted the dignity if not the sovereignty of Alaska by "making for" the seat occupied by the Representative from that sovereign state of Wyoming. The sovereignty of Wyoming arose to meet the attack. MT. Wiekersham struck two blows for state rights It was necessary for the Representa- tives of the sovereignty of several states, re-enforced by the great mace, to restore order to the point where both the Representative of the SOW ereignty and the Delegate of a mere Territory could apologize to the House. The Delegate, in making his apology, insisted that it go into the Record, as a sufficient excuse for his conduct, that he had "been called q liar"
 It will likely not get in the Rec ord. It is because of our conviction that the entire incident will be ex. punged from the Record that we take this means of informing the public that Alaska is already exhibit ing some of those high qualifications for Statehood, which have so often marked, in the House of Congress, the men representing constituencies of states in our representative gov ernment. One great barrier to early Alaskan statehood Ina. been knocked down by the fist of Delegate Wick ersham. Alaska mas met one test of representative government in a supreme way Is it time to begin making room on the flag for another star? MT. Wickersham has struck two blows for Alaskan statehood.

EQUIPMENT FOR
 NELSON MINE ARRIVES
(From Sundays Daily.)

George P. Harrington, general manager of the Nelson Mining com pany, who has returned from Crown King. states that the new bunk and boarding house has been finished, and that the gallows frame is nearing completion. The 9 horse power gas oline hoist has reached the property and will be installed immediately. The plan of operations is eentered to sinking a 300 foot shaft on an in cline, and it is expected this devel- opment will be under way by the first of the coming month. The Nel- son vein is said to be one of the largest in the Bradshaw range. The property is located midway between the town of Crown King and the mine of that name, and less than half mile from the railroad. Con- siderable interest is prevailing in that community over the beginning of operations on this old time prop erty.

 We do. not believe that Statehood will fail, but if it be achieved ii will never be under the erazy-quilt Constitution that was framed af Phoenix.
 These are the views the Journal Miner maintained and expressed dur. lug the convention and throughout the ratification campaign that fol lowed, and the stirring revelations of last Saturday demonstrate that we were correct.

 Returning yesterday from Flagstaff,
 where ne represented the Live Stock
 Sanitary Board of Arizona, in a
 legal proceeding instituted againss Joseph Kellum for violation of the
 hide laws, E. S. Clark made the i'm portant announcement that the many friends of the accused man, wa9 was formerly a resident of this city, need not entertain any other but the same high estimation of him as a lawabiding citizen, even if he was called to the bar of justice for an unintentional violation of. the law MT. Clark states that MT. Kellum is now engaged in the live stock iL- dustry in Coconino county, owning the large Jack of Diamonds herds. In the course of his duties, the ae- eused man used several COW hides before they were inspected, for mak- ing strings and other utilities. In this manner he unintentionally vio- lated the law. Upon being informed of this act, and not knowing that every hide was subject to official inspection, after being removed. MT. Kellum rode into town, freely ad- hitting his guilt, but pleading ig- noranee of any wilful intention to violate the statute. He was fined $50, and paid the amount with ex- pressions of good will toward all. MT. Clark states that the investiga- tion created good natured interest all round, and that MT. Kellum' g generous disposition was reflected in digging into his purse, paying the price, and promising that he would not be again caught at the end of another string of rawhide, without first having it branded with the ot- fieial seal of approval.

WHAT PRESIDENT TAFT SAID

The Arizona delegation wniel waited upon President Taft on Tues day, did not appear to derive any particular satisfaction from theil visit, and certainly received not the slightest assurance from the chief executive that he would approve the Constitution. In fact, his uttersnees while non-committal. cannot be con strued as encouraging. He said:
 "I have not seen your Constitu- tiOn. l have seen the one of New Mexico and l have approved it. I will take up yours just as soon as tt comes and go over it with the dis tinetion in mind which I have men tioned, namely, that it is not merely a question of law that l am to con sider, but it is a question of gov srnmental policy and of economies as well.''
 r According to advices received from Washington it now appears that if Arizona becomes a State this year it win be effected by Congress first eliminating the objectionable fea- lures from the Constitution, and that is a eonsummation devoutly to be wished. '
