Sentiment in Christmas
Gifts.

1t is not the intrinsic value of
the Christmas gift that counts
so much as the sentiment that
inspires it. Hence the small gift
frequently contributes more plea
sure to the recipient than a cost
ly one. Especially is this so when
the gift is tastefully prepared
when it is attractively wrapped
and tied, and decorated with
handsome seals and stamps and
an artistic address card. Such
adornments forcibly bespeak the
sentiment that inspires the gift.
We have a wonderful 226 piece
package of these embellishments
for Christmas gifts which we are
offering to our subscribers in con-
nection with a Years subscrip-
tion to our paper. In addition
to the package, we also offer a
years. subscription to The Week
ly Inter Ocean and Farmer, the
largest metropolitan weekly in
the West, and Favm and Home,
the best agricultural paper. The
three papers and the package we
offer for only $1.4O. Fuller de.
tails of this great offer will be

the coupe at the palac: caused q sen- sation and the exact status of af- fats could not be ascertained for sev- erai hours.
 The direct move against Madero was the result of a plot which has been brewing since yesterday. For the first time it has been known that Gei4etal Elanquet was unwilling to fight. His men were of the same mind He held complete command of them and it is not doubted they will follow him in any adventure, as they did at the national palace this after noon.
 Forces number a thousand which arrived late today were sent immedi- ately to the palace, ostensibly to re- lieve the reserves there. The re- serves were sent into the field. An agreement between Banquet and Huerta had been reached last night but the first intimation Blanquet's men had of their role was shortly before the successful stroke was made, when Banquet delivered a stirring speech.
 This inhumane battle must end,-' he said. ''The time has come when drastic steps must be taken to stop the conflict in which father is killing son and brother is fighting against brother, with non-combatants sharing the fates of war all because of the caprice of one man." Banquet then issued orders to arrest the president and assigned a detachment to that duty. Madero was soon a prisoner in his own rooms.
 The arrest of Madero took place in the hall of the ambassadors. When the president entered the room he found all the entrances guarded. One soldier, over excited by the words of Banquet, pointed a gun at the breast of Madero who leaped upon him. In the struggle the gun was discharged without injuring anyone. The sol dier was disarmed and placed under arrest by order of Gen. Huerta.

LANDER FAVORS A MANSION FOR
 GOVERNOR
Instead of An Additional Wing to the
 Capitol Building.

PHOENIX-That no provision should be made for an addition to the Capi- tol by the legislature at the present session, but that a governors man. sion should be erected and used tenn porarily for some of the state off, cials, is the idea of c. NJ. Zander, chairman of the state tax commission
 Expenses are going to be pretty high during the next two years,'' said Zander this morning. The tax com missioners and legislators must keep their eyes open and cut them down wherever possible.
 An additional wing to the Capitol would cost great deal of money. Certainly it is badly needed, but cant we devise some means to get along without it?"
 For $50,000 a governors mansion that would be a credit to the state could be erected on a lot near the Capitol. Such a mansion need not be occupied by the governor at once, but could be used to house the tax com mission, land commission and other appendages to the state government for which there is no room in this building.
 T have not discussed this matter with anyone, but believe the idea is a good one and hope the members of the legislature will give it consider ation'

RICH COPPER ORE.
Six Foot Surface Vein Found in the

DEFINING, N. M, Jan. 29.-Mining activity near Fort Bayard is un- precedented, according to T. M. Reece, who has just returned from a trip through that section. The Daisy Mining company has just been incorporated by c. H. Schmidt and c. R. Klodt. They are cross cutting the S0-foot level and find the vein eighteen feet wide, with reported values of $5S per ton, silver, lead and copper. They will install hoist ing machinery. South of this prop erty is a location under lease of some of the army officers at Fort Bayard. They report eighteen inches of ore at forty feet. The run is said to be $96 in gold and $2.3 in sil- yer. This ore is free milling. The Larsh mine is putting in a pump. They have shipped $50,000 worth of lead, silver and vanadium ore in the ast nine months.

Extra Session Possible.

It is believed that if the revised statutes are carefully considered, sec tion by section, as they will un- doubtedly be, the present sixty day session will not be sufficient time in which to complete the all i'm portant work. It would be an al most impossible task even if every second of the full sixty days should be devoted to the code revision work, which is not probable. The anti capital punishment bill and several other measures suggested by Govern or Hunt in his message have been al ready introduced and their consider ation is certain to take up a great deal of time of the present session.
 The session now being held con- tinues but for sixty days, at the ex piration of which time, it is under stood the pay of the members ceases. In order to further continue the work it is understood that it will be necessary for Governor Hunt to call another extra session.

FLORENCE Is COMPLAINING
 OF PRISON
CITIZENS PETITION LEGISLA- TURF TO PUT STOP TO PRIS- ON REFORM WHICH MEANS ASSOCIATION OF ALL
 WITH CONNECTS.
Petition Starts Fight on Governors Honor System Policy. House Is UnfriendIy-Senate is in
 Doubt.

PHOENIX, Ariz, Feb. 18.-Both branches of the legislature were pre- cipitated today into a discussion, in mild form, of Governor Hunts pri- son policy when a petition from the citizens of Florence, accompanied by a resolution of the Florence city coun- cil, was read in each house condemn ing in the strongest terms the policy of the administration for the handling of the prison convicts.
 It was quite apparent to all, after the reading had ceased, that some portion of the population of Florence desired a change from. the existing honor system at the state penitenti- ary and they remonstrated to the leg islature in some thousand words and petitioned that an investigation by the state solons be made at once. The truth of the statements in the peti- tion of citizens was attested by the mayor and city alderman
 After reciting that the situation complained of has existed for the past ten months the petition states
  silence "in the hope that our chief executive might after a little exper- fence realize that his present ultra reform ideas are both impracticable and dangerous and adopt prison re- form policy based on common sense and sanity; but in this hope we have been disappointed and can no longer in justice to ourselves ad families, endure without vigorous protest this probably well meant but idiotic pri- son reform policy which has become menace to the safety as. well as the social, moral and financial welfare of this community.
 Reference is made to an incident of some months ago when it was said Eytinge, a murderer, accompanied Kate Bernard, the reformer from the prison to the town after which the petition deals with the advisability of permitting convicts to associate with youths of the town, particularly young women and cncludes:
 This merely to gratify the gov ernor's lust for notoriety as the ori- ginator of starting the stunts of re- form. ,
 In the house after several motions the petition was finally referred to committee unfriendly to the govern or's prison policy for consideration, while in the senate a committee fav- orably inclined to the administration was given the DetitiOn
 Both friends and enemies of the prison reform scheme agree that the petition has precipitated a fight on the question with the possible re- suit of a special investigatin com mittee visiting the prison and Flor ence.
 It is known that the administration would welcome an investigation and look on the petition as an effort of politicians to embarass the governor. Warden Sims tonight phoned denial of the charges made in the petition.
