Aside from minor engagements and

BANK QUARTERS
 SOON TO BE ENLARGED
(From Saturdays Daily)

Important changes in the interior of the Bank of Arizona are under consideration, by which an enlarged area is to be given for transactine business, and to provide spacious ac- commentators for employees and pat rons.
 The business has outgrown what was anticipated ten years ago and the new move follows as result of meet ing conditions which in this day are deemed cxrcdicnt as well as neces- sary. The plan is being worked out by architects to add another vault, and to occupy section of the room formerly used by R. II. Burmister as mercantile store. The dropping of the main floor of the bank section to the level of the sidewalk and the en- trance thereto made easy by eliminat- ing the granite steps, is also under consideration.
 NJ. B. Hazcltinc, the vice-president of this, the oldest bank in Arizona, said yesterday: ''We are congested like sardines in can, and the move for a change in accommodations has arrived at last. Twenty years ago there was ample room, but today the business has assumed a change by which a remedy must be applied inn mediately. Prescott is growing and so is the bank. We arc working on the matter, and details of arrange ment will be announced later.

MAGMA FIX. BOWS
 FOR POPULAR FAVOR
(From Saturdays DaiIy.0

SUPERIOR, Jan. 5.-Magma Ex- tension is the latest mining company to be organized in the Pioneer dis trict now famous through the rich orc strike made couple of months ago on the 1900 foot level of the Mag ma mine. The property consists of about 135 acres, situated midway be- tween the Magma and the old Silver King and being adjoincd by the Mag ma Chief
 An interesting explanation of the name Extension" is had in the peculiar formation of the ground owned by the newly formed company and also that owned by the old Mag ma.
 The holdings of the Magma come to narrow neck near the location of the present surface workings. At the several levels of the mine drifts have been sent southwest through this neck of ground in an effort to trace the vein of the mine southwest into the portion of the Magma ground which lies towards the mill and con ccntrator. So far all efforts have been of no avail. The ground has, apparently, faultcd at this point and explorations have been fruitlcss.
 On the assumption that the country has fauItcd and that the Magma vein has been deposited north along a north and south line, the new com pany took for its name Magma Ex- tension.
 Some very excellent surface show ings are 10 be had on the property of the Extension. They comprise several Assure veins, and develop mcnt is expected to uncover some substantial ore bodies. Some dcvel- oDmcnt work has been prosecuted in the past and some good looking sur face ore has been developed. An other feature of the property is its accessibility from the Silver King road which is now in good condition.
 ]. ]. Ncary, James Ncary. the lat ter being superintendent of mines for the Magma for several years, and George A. Mauk, with the man who owned part of the ground, constitute the officers and directors. It IS un- dcrstood that a promotion campaign will shortly he started to raise funds with which to develop the property.

PR|ETA IS CORRESPONDING
 COMMENT
BIGGEST AND BEST COP PER ORE BODY IS HIT AT THE DEEPEST POINT YET REACHED.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Convincing proof of the Loma Pri- eta in Copper Basin attaining re- markablc showing at the bottom oi the main shaft that had reached a depth on Wednesday night of 20e feet, was furnished by samples of ore brought to Prescott on Thursday.
 The reports brought by miners arc in no way exaggerated and it may be stated with conservatism that this copper is assuming a deservedly high rating, and bids fair with further de- velopment to become an attractive property. The character of the pro- duct is classcd as a heavy chalco- pyrite, which the shaft IS carrying for practically its full width, and is oi higher percentage than heretofore mined, exceeding in value that expos cd in the original strike made some months ago.
 The cutting into of the high grade is of essential importance, the new orc condition occurring at the great est depth yet given, which is conclu- sive of the making of a high class copper beyond any doubt whatever in the opinion of those who arc con- vcrsant with the geological situation in evidence Mining men in the city are expressing surprise that such an ore condition should be determined al the depth reached, which is consid- cred as without a parallel in copper mining, when development is con- trastcd with other fields throughout the State. Said one miner from the camp yesterday: "The bottom of the shaft IS getting tight and slow sink ing follows in consequence; the ore IS solid and heavy, and I consider the outlook as the best in the history oi the property
 It was in appreciation of the Loma Pricta making good with depth that new equipment was installed re- gently to expedite development. and the wisdom of this move is reflected by what has been accomplished. When the water level is reached further sur priscs may be expected in what the primary zone may reveal in tapping the sulphide condition, indications oi which arc appearing at the present time. The stock has suddenly lcaped from Sl to Sl.50 a share in New York and Boston. The Loma Pricta, also has held its own during the slump recently in mining stocks, in this and other fields.

RESEARCH BUREAU
 TO BE MAINTAINED
(From Saturdays Daily.)

One of the most important plans oi the Arizona State Bureau of Mines is to conduct a legislative research bu- rcau for laws relating to mining, both State and Federal, m conjunction with the department of legislative re- search of the University of Arizona.
 Probably one of the greatest bur dcns under which the mining industry rests today is that of confusing and ill-adviscd laws. This is particularly we'll illustrated in our Federal mining laws which have been under ire now for several years, and which should be investigated by both State and government bureaus with a view to obtaining more equitable legislation.
 Another desirable point to be con sidcred in connection with a lcgiSla- live research bureau is the securing of uniform mining legislation through the various mining States of the West.
 While it is not within the province of the State Bureau of Mines to rec ommcnd laws, it can conduct re- searches on proposed legislation for both the State legislature and con gTesS.

RULING IS GOOD FOR
 THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

SPOKANE, Jan. 5.-Ending a long contest between the Pacific North west and California, the interstate commerce commission has issued an order which permits travellers from the East to visit California by way of Spokane, Seattle and Portland without additional charge.
 Heretofore it has cost S175O more for trip to California via Spokane than by the routes via Denver, Fl Paso or New Orleans. The State public service commission of Wash ington filed complaint against this charge with the interstate commerce commission, which has directed that the railroads cease demanding or par ticipating in all-ycar excursion fares or Summer tourist fares from Chicago to San Francisco, applicable in either direction by way of the Northwest, in excess of the corresponding fares by way of New Orleans or Fl Paso
 Northwestern business men hailed the ruling with delight, as they de- clare the arbitrary" charge has prov cd d serious handicap to the full de- vclopmcnt of the North Pacific States. Plans already are being made for the cities of this section to combine i'll an energetic campaign to induce tour ists to visit here during their See American First" trips. They have organized the Pacific Northwest Tourist Association, and are seeking appropriations from the States of Washington and Oregon and the Province of British Columbia with which to advertise this section as the Summer playground for tourists.

RAILROAD MOVE CAUSES
 CLOSING OF MINE DEAL
CFrom Fridays Daily.)

Elmer Poole, a mining man of Gila county, who is in the city cn route to Jerome to make observations, stated yesterday that the probable building of the a-Clarkdalc railroad is prompting investments along the route in certain mineral bearing local itics, and one deal for a group of cop pcrs had already been closed in Squaw Peak district
 His brother, A. C. Poole, is the pur- chaser, and under the option given, work is 10 begin inside of six months. The buyer also has made cash pay ment and inc cquipping of the prop erty with small hoist will follow. The railroad survey runs to within two miles of the property. Mir. Poole also stated that while field movements of the engineers were not generally known, and publicity over construc- tion was restricted, it is generally be- licvcd, however, in the south, that the work on the road will begin inside of six months. Tt will be a fine outlet for the farm products of Salt River valley, since it Is now generally be- licved that the Verde valley land own CT faces a crisis since another big shelter is 10 be erected near Clark dale, thereby completing the dcvasta- ton of the soil for agricultural pur- poses" said the visitor.

F[AYS STRAIGHT LINE
 PART|SANS
A s s E M LYMAN CASTS ASIDE DEMOCRATIC CARE TO WORK FOR ARIZO- MAS REDEMPTION.
(From Saturdays Datly.)

"In assuming the duties of an as- scmblyman from Yavapai county at the incoming session of the legisla- ture, I propose in the first place to cast aside the partisan cloak, and sec ondly will earnestly strive to work for the best interests of Arizona at large, and particularly Yavapai coun- ty," said Hon J. w. Sullivan yester- day as he was boarding the train for the capital city.
 Mir. Sullivan was emphatic in his remarks, and his open admission was qualified by reviewing his long life in Arizona dating back to nearly half a century ago when conservatism pre- vailed in law making and legislators were jealous to promote industry as against countenancing any disturbing influence such as has arisen in recent years to still widen the chasm be- tween capital and labor.
 "I fought the Apaches in early days to get this section of Arizona in shape for what is now in evidence and in this day to view the situation and see what drastic and rebellious conditions have arisen to throw us back again into the long ago, will by no means be countenanccd by me as a repre- sentative from this county, no matter what political construction any one may place on my attitude in the fu- ture on any question to arise in legis- lation Also, l desire to say now, that while I have been Democrat all of my life, from now on my affiliation will be strictly of non-partisan na- turc. I am going to assist in redeem ing Arizona from chaotic condition of uncertainty and alarm in lawmak- ing, to place it back again on ma terial rating, and any element which seeks to throttle wise and wholesome legislation will find me openly and honestly opposing anything of a class nature" he continued
 Mir. Sullivan among other things mentioned the fact that he desires to sec everybody prosper and above everything else hoped that Arizona's s wide door would be thrown open to capital. instead of keeping it closed by uncertainty and doubt. You will hear from me on any question coming up for consideration which is hostile 10 my views along the above lines. and as an Arizonan, and not a Demo- crat," he concluded.
 When Mir. Sullivan drifted into the gubernatorial squabblc going on al the capital he created a profound inn prcssion by saying that he believed Tom Campbell had been elected, and that Hunt should relinquish the office without Arizona attracting any more notoricty of an undesirable coloring, from which nothing but harm will follow.
