There are two projected railroads to
run into Globe One from Bowie, on
the Southern Pacific and the other from
Phoenix. II they are built, it is scarce
ly possible that both will stop at Globe,
although It will probably become one

port two railroads. One or the other,
perhaps both, will have to reach out

THE ALASKAN GOLD FIELDS
Worth All the Money Needed for Exam.

No Dispate Regarding the Boundary
Line Where 1t Crosses the
Mineral Belt.

WASHINGTON, Feb S.-The secre-
tary of the interior today sent to the SEN
ate report by Prof. c. d. Wolcott, di-
rector of the geological survey. of an
exploration of the Alaska gold fields,
made last summer by a party sent out
by the bureau. The expedition traversed
the valley of the Yukon from the British
boundary on the east to the mouth of
the river on the west, examining all the
known placer deposits and tracing thees
deposits to the quartz veins along the
headwaters of the tributaries of the Iu-
kon.
Sufficient data" Prof. Wolcott says.
was secured to establish the presence
of gold belt 400 miles in length in Alas
ka, which enters the territory near the
mouth of Forty Mile creek and extends
westward across the Yukon valley at
the lower ramparts."
Its further extent is unknown. The
opinion is expressed by the geologist in
charge of the expedition that it is prac-
tioable to prosecute quartz mining
throughout the Yukon region. Large
areas of rock containing hard bitumin-
Gus coal were also discovered along the
river
Prof. Wolcott says the international
line running from the Arctic ocean to
Mount st. Elias cuts through the Yukon
belt. He adds:
"It is known that the gold belt extends
eastward for considerable distance into
the British possessions. There can be
little if any dispute, however, as to the
position of the boundary line where it
crosses the belt The disputed line is
from Mount st. Elias south to the head
of Portland channel"
Prof. Wolcott asks for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to enable more complete
examination.

BANK STOCK NOT TAXABLE
According 10 the Decision of the Supreme
Court
The Property Having Been Once AS
sessed, Assessment of Shares Would
Be Double Taxation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-The con-
troversy which has existed in this state
for some time past as to whether the
stock Of national banks is assessable for
purposes of state taxation, was deter
mined by a decision handed down to-
day by the supreme court, through the
commissioner, to the effect that shares
Of stock in national banks are exempt
from state taxation The decision is of
much interest, as there are three ma
tional banks in this city and one in near
ly every county in the state. while their
capital stock is widely distributed.
The decision is the result of a suit
brought in Modesto to deter the tax col
lector of Stanslaus count from COL
lecting taxes levied on shares of the
First National bank of Modesto. which
has paid up capital stock of $1OO. 600.
The superior court decided in the tax
collectors favor. The supreme court re-
verses the judgment of the lower court
upon the ground that taxation of the
capital Of national banks is not subject
to state taxation, for section 36OS of the
political code expressly so states, and
that section was held constitutional in
the case of the people ex rel Burke VS..
Badlam, assessor (51 Cal, 594). This sec
tion and the decision hold that the prop
erty of the corporation is assessed to
the corporation, and an assessment of
the shares of stock would be double tax
alton. Judgment Is ordered entered
TOR the plaintiffs and appellants.

TEARS OF TYPOGRAPHERS.
Shed over the Condition of the State
Print Shop.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1.-THE mem
bers of the Typographical union. the
Presmen's union and the Bookbinders'
union, representing a large, intelligent
element, met today to consider the situ-
alton, and after full discussion of the
subject the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, through the agency of a
sensational press, evidently inspired
from interested sources, an attack has
been made upon the state printing Of
flee and its management; and
Whereas, in an over-zealous attempt
to make cheop political capital on the
one hand and to accomplish selfish in
terests on the other, those making such
attack have found it necessary to direct
their assaults at the labor employed in
said printing office, and in the small
ness of their souls have chosen for their
target the women employed; and
Whereas many of the women so en-
ployed are the widows of brave sold
diers, who sacrificed their lives in de-
fense of the flag when the life of the
nation was in peril, while many others
are the sole dependence of aged parents
or of fatherless families; therefore. be it
Resolved, by Sacramento Typograph-
ical Union No. 46, That while the wo-
men employed in said printing office are
not members of any labor union (and
are therefore doubtless considered a safe
branch of labor for small politicians to
attack, this union nevertheless takes it
upon itself to defend these working wo-
men and to repel and denounce as un-
true the statement that their employ
nent has either been unnecessary, or
that they have not rendered faithful
and efficient service to the state, or that
their selection for employment has been
dictated either by political considera-
tions, religious creed or by nationality.
Resolved, That the published criti-
cisms of the management of the state
printing office in reference to the number
of women employed therein are mis-
leading and untrue, and display a woe
full lack of information on the subject
and an utter ignorance of the several
branches of bindery work performed by
the women employed in said office.
Resolved, That this union spurns and
repels attacks made against faithful
wage earners (whether. they be male or
female) by either religious bigots or po-
litical shysters.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
union these continual attacks on the
state printing Office and those employed
therein. have their origin with the noto-
rious school book ring and it's agents.
and it is our firm belief that all this is
being done in covert endeavor to again
fasten upon the parents of the school
children of this state the eXacting bur-
dens of the old school books of this
combine.
Resolved. That copies of these reso-
lutions be furnished to the press, to
Governor James II. Budd and to the
honorable members of the California
Legislature under the seal Of this union.

POPULISTIC POLITICIANS
Object to Washburn's Proposed Peoples
Conference
They Wont Drop Silver as the Nair
Issue of the Coming

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Populist
take kindly to the proposition of Nation
al Committee Washburn of Massachu-
sets, that the Peoples party abandon
the silver question and fall back on the
two questions of government issue of
paper money and government control of
railroads and telegraphs. Likewise, they
are not in favor of calling conference
of the party leaders to determine what
shall be done, as proposed by National
Secretary Edgerton.
Senators Butler and Allen and others
are strongly opposed to a conference
and they are just as strongly opposed to
any change from the issues of the last
campaign. Chairman Butler expressed
the opinion today that the Populist
party is committed to free silver as
the main issue until that question is
finally disposed Of; then he thinks it will
be time enough for the party to take
up other issues.

that in his opinion nine-tenths of the

party platform in its entirety, and ad-
ded mo; it is my opinion tht we will
abandon the platform in 1898, or cease

effect that Kneebe had offered a re-
