Mr.. Bryan has demanded that the
Monroe doctrine be extended to include
the Philippine islands and afford them
protection against European interfer-
ence, and he pledges himself, if elected
president, to convene Congress in ex-
4raordinary session for that purpose.
Few people understand what the Mon
roe doctrine signifies, and among the
few who do understand Mr.. Bryan can
not properly be included.
Lord George Canning suggested this
doctrine in the common interest of Great
Britain and the United States, for the
unrpose of withstanding the Holy Alli-
ahce.
John Quincy Adams, Secretary of
State under Monroe, formulated the
doctrine and Monroe promulgated it
and thereby gave his name to it.
The Holy Alliance was composed Of
the then absolutist monarchies, Russia,
Austria, Prussia, France and Spain,
which proposed to aid Spain in re-estab-
fishing her oppressive dominion in Amer
lea as it had re-established an absolutist
dominion in France upon the ruins of
Napoleon's freer form of Government.
The purpose of the Monroe doctrine was
to assure the Holy Alliance that the
United States, as well as Great Britain,
would have to be reckoned with if an
attempt were made to re-establish Span
ish power on this continent.
This Anglo American unity of pur-
pose was as effectual in 1928 as it was in
1898 when Great Britain warningly in
formed these same continental nations
10 keep their hands off the controversy,
pver Cuba, between Spain and the United
States.
In his annual message of 1928 Mr..
Monroe said; "Wa shouA consider any

The soil is extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted to the cultivation of sugar, rice, and all the tex tile plants, in addition to an extended list Of tropical, semitropical, and temperate products. According to careful chemical analysis, the fertilizing mud carried by the Colorado closely resembles that of the waters of the Nile, while it's volume at low water has been estimated by competent authority as sufficient to easily irri gate more than 1,75OOOO acres"
 The lands of the lower Colorado River Valley have not b9en developed very extensively. owing to the litigation over what is known as the AlgodoneS land grant, which has been in the courts for the last decade. The vexed question has lately been settled by the U. s. Supreme Court in favor of the government.

tinuous body stretching to distance of two or three miles, and showing a thickness at right angles to the stratificatiOn of no less than 5000 or 5000 or perhaps 10000 feet, and there is no evidence whatever of plication. The Stratifca- tion is fiat and as regular as the leaves of a book Usually we detect more or less plication or folding in such section, but there is no evi- dence of any folding whatever in this series. There is, however, great difference in the composition of the layers of these rocky ridges now all turned black upon the surface-a condi- tion of coloring which seems to attend all the rock outcropS along the lower Colorado, and the origin of which, though discussed by Humboldt after noting similar blackening of the rocks along the Orinoco, has not yet been satisfactory explained This general blackening of the sur face hides the changes of composition, which may be noted by careful and close inspection.
 In some places hornhlendic slates are more developed than the mica slate, and at others the micaceous schistose characters predominate and are accompanied by layers of quartzite in terleaved and three or four feet in thickness, sometimes three or four inches and some foliated quartz having little films of mica in it. These quartz beds are members of the series, but have been located as lodges and, it is claimed, are gold bearing. The quartz has little or no resemblance to vein quartz, and yet at several points in the outcrop there are stains of green color, apparently from the decomposi- tion of ore like that which has given green stains to the croppingS of the Fortuna.
 Several dike-iike seams or veins of white al bite or soda feldspar cut directly across the bedding of the mica slate series. These feldspa- thic dikes do not appear to have any relation to the ore bearing vein or lode of the Fortuna. These dil1es are extremely irregular and appear to have filled cross fractures or breaks of the regular strata.
 Coarse granite was noted at the northern point of the Gila range, along the railroad, but no evidences were found Of the existence of stratifed Paleozoic or secondary rocks. The mica states series referred to is the Huronian or Arch1an.

KING OF ARIZONA.

The gold bearing property, known for time as the Gleason has been transferred to the King of Arizona Mining and Milling Company, a cor poration organized under the laws of the Terri tory of Arizona. with capitalization of 5,OOOOOO shares of par value of Sl each. This company owns four full claims Homestake, the King of Arizona, the Last Hope, and the Mucho Bueno This district lies about thirty five miles due east of thd Castle Dome Land ing, on the Colorado River. It is north of the Gila River and about 10 miles from Mohawk Summit, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is the nearest station on the railway. There are several other locations besides those conveyed to the King of Arizona.
 The Homestalze location covers the chief workings up to this date. There is on this claim strong vein of gold bearing quartz. This lode or vein has three wellmarked divisions or layers. On the hanging wall there is a soft layer from to SH inches wide, which averages about s2sOO per ton in value. Next below this there is middle layer or body of quartz about 20 inches thick, which will average about 800 to Sl0O per ton in value. The remainder of the vein, so far as it is exposed by the shaft, aver ages about S24 per ton. Test holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall, and all are Tn ore The SnalJ Dy Wnlcn the exposure or the nature of the vein has been made is 200 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance of 40 feet easterly and 30 feet westerly. These show a continuity of vein having the same characters and values develop ed by the shaft. The hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft so that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts is greater than at the shaft. At point about 30 feet west of the shaft anc on a level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been crosscut from wall to wall, showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the crosscut is of about the same grade as that in the shaft The croppings of the vein may be followed for some zoo feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening, known as ''The King of Arizona Shaft" This shaft is about 50 feet deep and by means of drill holes the vein is shown to be II feet in width and has an aver age value of S10 per ton. At point 300 feet east of the Homestake shaft a tunnel has been made which crosscuts the vein 16o feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein is IS inches wide and has an average value of $50 per con. The tunnel then passes through 30 feet of vein matter running about 8 per ton, thence through feet of ore carrying S28 per ton to the foot wall. The total distance from hanging wall to foot wall along this tunnel is 40 feet. A drift has been run along the foot wall to the Home stake shaft at a distance of 300 feet and the average value of the ore exposed is Sl4 per ton.

SENATE RATIFIED
SAMOAN TREATY
After Two Hours Of Debate Partici-
pated in by a Number Of Senators
Mostly Favorable to 1t.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Senate
to-day ratified the Samoan treaty with
out division.
The ratification occurred in executive
session and after two hours of debate,
which was participated in by a number
of senators, principally in behalf of the
treaty by NIessrs. Davis. Foraker and
Spooner, and in opposition by Senator's
Bacon, Money and TillmaI.
Senator Bacon made the leading speech
in opposition. He based his objection
upon the general ground that it was con-
trary to the spirit of our institutions to
attempt 10 govern any people i'll oppo-
sition to their wishes. He said that he
was not opposed to the new convention
betause of any Partially felt for the old
tri-partite agreement which it supplants.
On the contrary the old treaty was almost
il not quite as repugnant TO him as the
new and he wanted to get rid of 1t.
INTENTION TO ANNEX.
There was no doubt of the intention to
annex and exercise sovereignty in place
of the protectorate. which was the dis
tiE,lishing feature OF the tri-partite
agreement of 1890.
He contcnded that it was not true that
the old arrangement was simply to be
continued under a division of authority,
and asserted that the declaration that
the Samoan people were savages was un-
te!lab!e.
The United States had iii many ways
he said recognized the Samoan Govern
ment, guaranteeing its Independence and
making treaty of anity and friendship
with its government.
IN conclusion. Mr.. Bacon said he was
willing that the United States should ac-=
.u,lire the island Of Tutulia, with its
Pago-Paso harbor. if that could be done
In the proper manner. and without vio-f
lating all of our principles in securing
control of 1t.
Senators Money and Tillman spoke on
the same line.
The friends OF the treaty repudiated the
assertion that the old treaty provisions.
were annulled. They claimed that this
country, by the new arrangement, re-
tains all the old advantages and avoids
the complications liable to grow out of
the tri-partite agreement. J. They urged
that the portnnity could not be lost
