GLOBE, Ariz.. Jan. 3.-Just when statehood will be granted Arizona is question no one seems able to answer definitely One man who will cided is the chief executive of the proposed state. Governor-elect George w r Hunt. Although the election has been over for some time. he is still receiving congra atulations. and in most cases the congratulations con- tain d rider" in the shape of a re- quest for a position Hardly al day passes that he gets less than a score of requests, and for time the mail each day brought about fifty appl- cations He will not make any an nouncements until he has been in- augurated. but will not keep the dp- plicants waiting any longer than is necessary after he takes his seat in the governors chair.
 In Globe recently a special edition Of local paper published what was said to be d list of the appointments he would make. and other papers in the state and outside also published the list Cochise was left out en- tirely. as was Pima. and both will probably get their share when Mir Hunt announces the appointments II seems probable Cochise. will get the mine inspector. while Pima will get an important office.
 One of the matters tu which the governor-elect is giving particular at tention is the appointment of a mine inspector. He wants a man who has the confidence of the men who work under ground. man who has had practical experience and one who Is capable. He has written a number of prominent miners. asking them t" suggest the name of man who would be suitable to them. and has asked through the state press for suggestions from mining men.
 While he has refused to endorse any man for the position of presi- dent of the senate or for the speak ership of the house. the governor is said to have announced he would be glad to see Representative Bradner and State Senator Cunniff get the places Many members of the legis laturc have announced their intention of supporting these men. Lynch Of Stafford. Graham county. has also an nounced for the speakership. but some of his friends are urging him to make d campaign for the position Of chairman of the ways and means committee. d place which carries with it the leadership of the house. Gila will without doubt support the man selected in Cochise. and it seems probable the members or the house from the largest and most populous county will agree upon Bradner. al- though two others of that county have announced themselves for the place.
 Brooks of GiIa wants the chair manship of the committee on appro- priations, and may get it, as this is the only claim this country is pre- senting. He is one of the strongest men in the section. is known as the Father of Free TeXt-Books'' and has the confidence and esteem of Gov ernor Hunt and a number of other prominent men of his party. He is an expert accountant and the argu- ment is offered that he is the proper man for the chairmanship of the committee.
 Cochise. Yuma. Yavapai. Gila and couple other small counties have controlled the lawmaking bodies in the past few sessions of the council. and that they will do so again seems probable. as all are strongly demo cratic. Cochise has seven members and the others enough to give the alliance complete control. Should Graham and Greenlee decide to en- ter the alliance. Lynch could without doubt have the chairmanship of the ways and means committee.
 With the approach of statehood the fight for the places at the pie counter grows more spirited and the applicants are using every effort to ! land a job.
