It is given out that the Lake Mo- honk conference on international ar bitration, which will meet May 30 and June 1, will devote much atten- tion to the two great international gatherings of the near future-the second Hague conference which is expected to meet this. fall or earE next spring and the third -Pan-Ameri- can conference. which assemblies in July at Rio de Janeiro. Since the United States will play prominent part in both. it is highly important that the American people understand their full importance, and Mohonk will do we'll to shed all the light pos sible on the problems that will con- front the delegates to these great meetings. It is certain that the sec ond Hague conference must consider some of the most weighty and difi- cult questions ever before an inter national assembly. it will receive as legacy from the fist conference the highly debatable problem of a reduction of limitation of arma- ments, which with other topics left over from the first meeting and some that have since arisen. will afford abundant exercise for the best states marship of the civilized world.

still satisfactory. Since the continu- ance of business prosperity depends more upon the crop outlook than upon any other single feature, the significance of this report should not be underestimated. As for the mon etary outlook, that is still somewhat uncertain. Cheap money need not be anticipated for weeks or months to come, but the acute stringency ob- served in April is certainly over and not likely to be repeated until the regular autumn requirements set in. The disturbance to the money mar ket arising from the San Francisco fire also seems to be practically over. San Francisco has more than enough cash to meet present emergencies, and funds sent west for that purpose are likely to shortly come back to the regular channels of distribution, A great deal of money is still locked up III ekceSSlNe ledi coto'o SPoe"A tion, which ought to receive the same sort of rebuke that excessive specu- lation in securities has already re- ceived. If moderation can only be secured in this respect, and prices Of both commodities and securities kept within reasonable level, there is no reason to apprehend any early ter imitation of present prosperity. Prior to the elections we may expect period of doubt and delay. if not de- pression, but those contingencies are too far away to have any present ef- feet on values.

SATURDAY, MAY 12. 1906.

The Australian immigration law has been changed so as to remove some of the restrictions applied to those seeking admission to that country. It is now provided that the contract clause of the law shall only operate to prevent persons contract ing to work at lower rate of wages than that current, and to prevent employers breaking down the oppo- sition of strikers by importing labor from abroad. Any persons who go to Australia under a contract and find that the conditions have been misrepresented by their employer can claim redress under the act.

BURNING MINES OF UTAH.
Veins of Coal That Have Been Afire
 Since Discovered by White Men.

t | |. !.
 Through long line of cliffs from l Colorado to central Utah, and then southwest toward Arizonia, extensive beds of coal are found, and recent geological investigation into this coal formation of the far west has dcvel- oped what may be termed burning 1 mountains, or coal beds, a ire with surface indications of constant com- bustion for ages past.
 The coal fields of Utah are some what widely separated. and even the known fields have been comparative ly little explored; therefore very little is known of their productive area The edges of these beds come to the surface in these cliffs nearly one thouv sand feet above the bordering desert and in ages past this coal has burned into the mountain cliffs until smother cd by the accumulations of ashes and covering of this burning coal has been so intense as to melt the rocks.
 From surface appearances the fires have gone out in these cliffs, but at one point in the canon of Prince Riv- CT. where the coal is being mined. the rocks are found to be uncomfortably hot and the miners were compelled to retire for fear the fires would again break out.
 Other coal fields lie in the desert west of Green River At two places near tributaries of Fremont River the coals are burning and have been without cessation since they were dis covered by the earliest explorer. The origin of these fires has been the sub ject of much speculation.
 Three explanations are commonly heard among the Mormons. who in habit this peculiar country where the mountains burn.
 One explanation Is that lightning has by chance struck the edges of these coal beds at various times since these mountains were lifted up.
 Another Is that forest fires raging in the mountains came in contact with exposed coal. The more thought full point out that the forests in this desert region are too sparse for for est fires to occur.
 Still another and more common ex- planation is that the Indians built their campfires under the protecting lodges of the mountain. against the coal. and it was thus ignited. They point to the fact that there are ruins of the habitations of cliff dwellers here. and that in their day the coals began to burn.

Fragrant Mosque.

The famous mosque of St. Sophia, in Constantinople, Is always fragrant with the odor of musk, and has been so ever since it was built in the ninth century, the curious thing being that nothing is done to keep it perfumed. The solution of the seeming mystery lies in the fact that when it was built, over 1000 years ago, the stones and bricks were fixed with mortar mixed with musk.

Silk from Japan.

In the year 1890 Germany sent about $10,710.000 in silks to the Unit ed States, and Japan sent 9o,000 worth. In 1904!05 Germany sent about $4,9ss. 900 of silk goods to the United States, while Japan sent $5,- 59S.000 worth. Japanese exports of silk goods have tripled within ten years, increasing from $7,470,06O in 1895 to $22,410,000 in 1904.-'05, and the ascending movement continues.

J. N. Porter, Vice President of Local Bank Indicted in,
 Gila County.
ALLEGED TO HAVE
 SWORN FALSELY.
Bail Fixed at Sum of S3,OOO, Which He Readily Gives, and Is Released to Appear in Court Again Tomorrow.

Indicted on a charge of perjury, J. N. Porter, who is vice-president of the First National Bank of Bisbee, and well known in this city by large num- Der, was Monday brought into the Dis trict Court at Globe, and after giving bond of S3,000, released.
 Porter was indicted by the Gila grand jury in connection with case that was tried some time ago in Tue son, in which he was one of the par ties, the case being over the sale of a ranch and bunch of cattle.
 With several others, PorterLwas in- Eolyed on one side against Fred Olsen, who had owned the property before the deal was made. It is charged that in this case Porter either swOre false ly or made what is claimed to be perjured affidavit
 When brought into court and his bond fixed, Porter had no difficulty Il raising $3,000. He is president of 1ne of the Globe banks and has inter ests all over the Territory.
 At Globe tomorrow Porter will ap- pear before District Judge Federick N. Nave to be arraigned and enter his plea, which will be not guilty. Re ports from Globe are that he claims to be able to prove without difficulty Lat he committed no perjury, as has been charged in the indictment.
 It is stated that the bill against Porter was found last Saturday, but not made public until yesterday, though for what reason has not been stated. Porter was fin GloHh, and there was no Hklihood of his attempt ing to make his escape.
 Reports from Globe are that the peo- rle of that city generally believe Por- ter will vindicate himself when the matter gets into court. He has spent considerable time in Bisbee, and sev- eIal who heard of his indictment yes- terday were greatly surprised.

Press Correspondents Visit BiSbee While Making
 Tour of World.
ARE IMPRESSED WITH
 THIS GREAT CAMP.
Visit to Bisbee Brings to Their Attention All That Is Ameri- Can-Are Gathering Mate- rial for Books.

James H. DeConlay, Jr., special Australian press correspondent, ac- c2mpanied by Rupert R. Hochey, ar rived in Bisbee last evening. and will spend today studying the conditions ir the city.
 DeConlay comes also as a represen. tatlve of the Cosmopolitan and sey- eral other American magazines.
 When seen last night, DeConlay expressed himself as highly impressed with what he had seen of an Ameri- can mining camp, and further said:
 ''I would like to spend a great, deal more time than is possible, for your city, or camp, as you call it, has brought to my mind more of the Amer iCan idea than any other place I have visited. And yet Bisbee is, as it were the end of every thing.
 q can imagine myself as climbing these mountains and stepping off into an entirely new country. Your mag, nificent copper mines are a source of wealth unequalled in the world. The existing conditions, as I find chem, Will compare with any mining camp in the world. Nowhere will you find that free and independent air to be found in a mining camp of the west.
 DeConlay is special representative of syndicate of twenty-five Austra- Han newspapers, and is making a tour of the world, studying the different people as he finds them.
 From here he goes to San Francisco, and from there down into Mexico. In all he will spend about three years on his tour and when finished it will form the theme for several books he ccntemplates publishing.

MORE RAILROAD
Cananea Road May Conten- plate Extension Into This
 Territory,
BIG GRADING OUTFIT
 LOCATED NEAR NACO.
Crockett of Opinion That Road Will Be Built From Border to F Fairbank to Connect With Southern Pacific Branch,

With sixty men and sixty mules preparations are being made by the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific road to establish large railroad camp in the vicinity of Naco, which will prob ably be about two miles south of that city. =-.-.s.. - r. E c. s. Crockett, who was in Bisbee yesterday, states that an opinion gen. orally prevails in Naco that the pres ence of this large outfit is for the pur- pose of important railroad extensions to be made by the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific road.
 A few days ago Crockett talked with one of the officials Of the road, who informed him that the men and teams were to be put to work at once widen ing and improving the road that now runs between Naco and Cananea
 Part of the improvement to be made is replacing the rails now laid with steel of much heavier weight Two reasons are advanced for this important change, which were ex- pressed yesterday by Crockett as fol- lows:
 Either the change is being made for, the reason that the Cananea road is to be extended to some point on the western coast of Mexico or is to be extended from Naco into Arizona and to Fairbank.
 Like 8 number of others who are closely watching developments, am inclined to believe that the Cananea read is to be built to Fairbank, where it will connect with the Southern Pa cific branch that runs from Benson to Nogales.
 Crockett believes that the route has been picked between Charleston and Boston Hill, and thatsthe- building of such a line is more than probable.

Great Self Possession.

A good story concerning the
late speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, David B. Henderson
is related by Harper's Weekly:
"Mr. Henderson's early protes-
sional experiences were not ma
terially different from those of
most young lawyers. Finally he
was retained in an estate case
which involved large interests.
The future speaker was mighty
hard up, and he was seriously
thinking of asking the heirs to
pay his bill, which he had never
rendered. He was medItating
whether to charge them 5000 or
$500. when one of the heirs, rep
resenting them all, stepped briskly
into his Office and taking out a
roll of $500 bills said: Mr.. Hend-
erson, / want to pay your bill,
and Commenced laying down
these $500 bills until he had $2,-
500 before the astonished young
lawyer. Looking up at Mr.. Hend
erson the heir said: is that

that self-possession which SUBJ

calmly said: Peel off another

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.
Call for Democrats to Meet at Hotc hkiss,
on Monday, August 10th, to Dis.

County Chairman Geo. E. Blake
has called conference of Demo-
Gratis at Hotchkiss for Monday.
August Goth, at Barrow's hall. at
which time it is hoped that as
many democrats from all over
the county as can possibly attend
will be present to express their
views. The call is made in re-
sponse to numerously signed re-
quests made upon the chairman
by representative democrats of
the county.
Matters of party policy will be
discussed, and particular attention
will be given to trying to arrive
at a correct position for the party
to assume toward the unfortunate
dispute now going on in Denver,
so far as it relates to the party's
conduct in the coming election.
The news of the call being issued
comes to US over the phone and
we are therefore unable to print
it verbatim as it has been made.
but have included most if not alfA
the salient points. Next week we
will publish the signed official call.
All democrats are invited to be
present and should strive to be on
hand. This is a democratic year
unless all signs fail, and it is very
important that each step taken
should reflect the majority senti-
ment of the party.

sary that some decided and de-
finite work be done. Therefore
these two papers have taken it
upon themselves without hope of
any reward to make the proper
arrangements. Our plan is to ad'
vertise in the adjacent mining
towns for men, women, boys and
girls to be ready to come when
they are wanted. Rates have
been applied for and it is very
probable that our rail road will
do everything in its power to do
us a good turn. To do this it will
require a small fund and we are
willing to take it upon ourselves to
raise this fund and we expect to
get it fsom those who are ready
and willing to make an effort to
secure white labor.
We have talked with many
ranchmen and not one has eX-
pressed himself in any way but that
he would not hire any Japanese
labor if it were possible to get
white people sufficient to care for
his fruit. Believing that this sen
timent is general enough to war
rant an effort to get the white
labor, we have taken the matter up.
