It is czpec'ed, however, that because of iti adverse I effect upon Mexican land owners in Arizona, a protect will be forthcoming from tbe Mexican government, even in view of tbe rather irreguf-r status of the diplomatic rela'loos between America and Mexico. The measure provides that no foreigner who-has not become a citizt a of tbe United 8 ates or at least made applicat on to become a citizen, can os Isnl In Arizoni. It is said that many residents of Sonora, Mexicans who have no intention of becoming citizens of Arizona, own land in Ari zona; Concessions Made; Strike May End Douglas advices say the Mon itirua Copper Co, the Phelps Dodge corporation's big Sonora mine at Xacozarl ancounced today that it bad ruije coocetsU ns to strikers by which it is hoped the strike that a3ecteJ about 1500 will be ended.

The company agie to discharge three American foremen as demanded by the strikers but announced the mill will remain closed till other disputed points are tettled, Road-Building Crew Hard at Work The Cccbise county road building crew arejat a point near Forest, on tbe Biebee-Gleeson road and the camp is a busy place these dars Some 30 men are at work on tbe road UDder tbe direction of Dare Haesler, and substantial results are being shown daily. The county traction engine, "The Big Fo'ir Thirty," is a mart el in execution on rosd work, handling the grader with case and dispa'ch. The tractim is run on one side of tbe grade while the grader, with dik and revolving belt, conveys the dirt to tbe center in a constant stream. Tbe first "try-out" of the equipment shoos a record of about three miles of r. ad building within two week, and everything is working eatisfactorily.

But four men arc required in handling tbe engine and grader, the priocipalwork being automatically cared for. Foreman Haesler keeps bis crew busy on the road surrey ahead; a systematic method ol clearing tbe roadway of all slumps and obstructions being carried on to best advantage, acd thus made for the traction and grader operations County Surveyor McNeish has mapped out the new roadway which platted and a'aked, inc'uding tbe exact grade and ail culverts and bridges. Tbe supervisors are to be congralu- lated on starting tbe road brildlcg of tbe county in the proper manner. Within a few years Cochise will have one of tbe beet road systems in tbe state.

Tbe aection surrounding the Calevria ranges was also affected by tbe earthquakes. Sonora Now Has Dual Governorship Sonora baa two governors, both oi whom are on thej job in ilermoeillo.

Pesquieira, tbe provisional governor appointed by tbe state troops to act in the absence of May-toreoa, is also continuing bis work as the provisional governor, Tbe two governors consult each otber daily nd are co-operating in carrying on tbe affairs of tbe rebel state. Joke Ends Seriously for Old Negro A joke played on Wiley Box, an old negro, consisted in wrappiog his feet in burlap, pouring on alcohol and setting firsjto it. A retident of Too son, was arrested Sunday on a charge of being tbe joker.

Box is at St Mary's hospital in that city with the skin bnrned off bis feet. Bis condition la serioos. Blood poisoning may set la. How It Was Done in Phoenix Many Douglas citizens received let-era from Phoenix loJ) telling of tbe passg of the county seat bill, among which was one to Edit, of the Bank of Douglas, frotn Gaines, wuosoa in part: "Sims staid with us and fought it out in the irnate It passed the senate by a vote of 12 ayes, 6 noes and one absent We had several votes nine to nice on different da) a on the. adoption of the confer encs report favoring the house, which It ft it up in the air We finally got three of the republicans and put it over." Douglas International.

From the activity shown, the point ratj-allv suggests itie'f: Dees tie Cochise Taxpayers Association favor Douglas for a proposed eouuty seat as gainst Bisbee?
