had building hr gould not understand
why East Orange should not have one
When the Senator made his statement
Mr.. Wiley could hardly credit it, but he
was assured by Mr.. Howell that such
was the fact
When it came to making the assign
ments Of the berths the gentlemen were
TO occupy on the trip from Trenton back
to this city, Mr.. Rouzer, the secretary of
Senator Dryden, wanted to have all the
Congressman well taken care of.
Each of the Senator's had one Of
the drawing hooms. Then Mr.. Rou-
ger assigned lower berth TO each
Congressman. The newspaper CORE
spondents also had lower berths.
When he reached the Congressional sec
retaries, Harry S. Sheik, the Sena tors
stenographer, made the happy suggestion
that the secretaries be assigned in the up
per berths above those occupied by their
Congressman. This was considered a
happy suggestion by Mr.. Rouzer, and the
diagram was filed out accordingly.
OF course, there were plenty of good
stories told en- route from Washington to
Trenton. One concerning the game of
chance was to the effect that the narrator
(not Congressman, by the way), was on
a Western trip at one time He fell in
with congenial tourist who had pen
chant for betting on anything and every
thing. The stranger finally prevailed up
on the Jersey man to play a game Of
cards. When the game was finished the
Jerseyman was $40 ahead. The stranger
said, Its twenty or nothing" He lost,
and paid the twenty over with a smile.
He matched coins with the Jerseyman
for dinner and cab expenses, and lost
both. He was Westerner with money
and he told the Eastern man that he
would rather ''try his luck'' at any time
than have some one pay his expenses, be-
cause he liked the excitement of it.
On the homeward train there was one
member of the party who broke the rec
ord for snoring. There was resonant
sound of the volume of a big fog-horn
emanating from his berth at times which
was loud enough to be heard above the
noise of the train in motion AT times
it was symphony in G minor" then it
changed to melody in A fiat" but
withal musical at times, and less musical
at other times, it made the listeners feel
that so long as the sleeper slept they
could not, at least, be lonesome.
Congressman Thompson, of Ocean,
as the chief telegrapher of the House is
frequently known, had lively discussion
about affairs political at his home, and
he explained for the edifcation of his list
eners what might be done if the Strong
act to create commissioners in place of
county freeholders should ever be adopt
ed in Ocean County. While at Trenton
Mr.. Thompson had conference with
Governor Stokes, and he met some Of his
friends from home during the evening.

water supply through the pipes which
Jersey City owned and had paid $75, 900
for. An effort was made through the
courts to enjoin him, but it resulted in
failure, the court having rendered de-
cision that as Jersey City did not own
its water works it had no control over
the pipe line which it had paid for.
Mr. Record deplored the courts decis-
ion and said it left Jersey City helpless
unless the Joerg bill became law. That
would then give Jersey City chance
to fight in court for its rights and oust
the New Yorker who was furnishing the
West Hudson towns with water supply
at Jersey City's expense.
The committee listened attentively to
Mr.. Records argument and at its con-
clusion Chairman Scovel stated thar it
would take the matter under advisenlent
and render descision at an early date.
Colonel Dickinson was among those
who heard Mr.. Records argument, but
he made no comment. 1t is known,
however, that he is opposed to the pas
sage Of both bills and he will leave no
stone unturned to prevent them from be-
coming laws.
Mayor Fagan, City Collector Fry, Cor
poration Attorney Carey and Tax Com
missioner Bacon were also interested
spectators. The Mayor stated that he
was we'll pleased with Mr.. Records ar
ouments and eyed the committee
would treat be with the considera.
kion they deserve.

Governor Foster NJ. VOORHEES, today en-
phatieaIly denied the rumor that he had
decided to accept an appointments as Cir
cult Court Judge if it were rendered u
him by Governor Stokes. He said hs
had made up his mind some time age
not to accept such an appointnent, and
had informed the Governor of his de-
cision. An increase Of salary would MOI
induce him to change his mind. Hi
business interests were such that hs
could not accept JudsesAip If hs feu
so disposed.
The refusal of former Governor yoor
hees to accept the appointments lad ths
friends of Prosecutor William a. Specs
of Hudson County, to beRisvs he had
chance to land the prize Cold watsa
descended upon Mr.. Speer's ambitions
it is said. when the Governor allowed il
to be understood that under no circum
stances would he favor Hudson's Prose
cutor. He said that there were othez
candidates who had to be considered bs-
fore Mr.. Speer. who is now holding =
State office.
Those who stand close to the Cover
nor say that his reason for turning Afr,
Speer down was that he was too closely
identified with the Public Service Corpo-
ration's interests to make an acceptable
Judge. It was recalled that until recent
" Mr.. Speer had served that corpora ton
professionally and that he did not sever
such connections until they aroused the
criticism of the Hudson County Bar AS
sociation.
Among the candidates the Governor
has in mind for the Judgeship are Pros
ecutor j. Hamilton Fithian, Of CumEer-
land County. where the Governor hves,
and Common Pleas Judge Benjamin A.
Vail, of Union, and it Is said mat it ia

ator Kean, Ex-Governor VOORHEES,, Judge
Cross and Chancellor Magic. who wield
a powerful influence in the executive Of
fee.
At present the law permits the ap-
pointment of FIVE Circuit Court Judges,
but the annual appropriation bin adopted
by last years Legislature allowed only
for the salaries of four. Thus no ad
interim Appointment was made, although
it has always been understood that for
mer Governor Voorhees, could have the
place whenever he desired it. He always
persisteutly declared that he did not
want it, but a. few days ago runors
were circulated that he had changed hia
mind when he learned that Proxecutea
Speer was likely to be appointed if he
declined. The rumor was set at rest By
the former Governors statement chat he
would not accept.

TRENTON, Feb. Z, 1906. Corpora
tion Counsel George l. Record, of Jersey
City, made an earnest appeal to the
| Committee on Municipal Corporations Of
the House yesterday afternoon for fa-
| yorable report on two Jersey City bills
now before the committee. One was the
Coyle bill authorizing Jersey City to
mortgage its new water plant for the
purpose of securing bonds to pay ST.
| 10000 for its purchase and the other
was the Joerg bill authorizing Jersey
| City to sell water supply to the West
Hudson towns.
Mr.. Record stated that Jersey City
could not sell it's bonds at 4 per cent
unless the issue were secured by mort
| gage on the water plant This was the
advice Of prominentsbankers who were
consulted. The City's bonded debt was
now about $18,0O0,O 900, or almost up to

REMARKABLE LEAcHING PER.
 TORRANCE.

J. P. Bauder of Prescott, who is here with his wife, visiting the McCarthys, went up to Ray Tuesday and return ed Thursday The object of his Visit was to investigate the Mcintosh cop per teaching process, with a view to installing the process at his copper mines in Yavapai county, if he found the process to be a demonstrated suc.. cess at the Kelvin reduction com panys Ray plant. He was visitor al the Blade sanctum after his return from Ray and informed us he was satisfied, after seeing the process in practical operation at the Ray plant, that it is all MT. Mcintosh claims for 1t. While he was at the plant MT. Me Intosh invited him to time a ton test and he did so, and to his surprise 2 ton of crushed ore was leached, the solution from the teaching tank drawn and the copper precipitated therefrom in thirty minutes by the watch. This thirty minutes covered the entire op- eration of teaching and precipitating, a feat in teaching that is marvellous, to say the least.-Florence Blade.

PARADISE TO DATE.
History of a New Arizona Mining
 Tow:, e 1000 inhabitants.

The Record, the paper recently started in thn new town of Paradise, in the Chiricahua mining district of Cochise county, thus relates the his tory of the town:
 In September. 1899, Geo. A. Walker settled in the present town of Paradise. When he arrived. however, he found Rube Haddon engaged in mining op- erations. and Albert Hink. Albert Hoch and Dr. C. B. Richardson were the next arrivals in the spring of 1900. Soon came the success of the Warren Bisbee district and an enormous de- mand for copper, which resulted in 2 large number of prospectors coming into this district.
 Application for a postoffice was made in the latter part of the year 1901. The postofIice department was not averse to the establishment of an office, but wished to choose the name. To this end a large number of names were submitted, all having either one or two svllabIes, the department desiring a short name for the convenience of the department and railway clerks. The people here, however, firmly insisted on the name Paradise" and they finally won out. The town, it seems, was named from a grove or flat of the same name, located at Leadville, one half mile from town. So far as known the name Paradise" was applied to this grove at least twenty-five years ago the natural beauty of the place suggesting the name. A postoffice was accordingly established December 22' 1901. with Geo. A. Walker as post master, MT Walker holding office un- til 1905. when he resigned, being sue ceeded by F. H. Christy.
 A great impetus was given to the camp in March, 1903, when the Coles Collins people of Michigan and Mime sota took hold of the Chiricahua prop erty. the same being bonded from Capt. John A. Duncan and Capt Thos. Burns. The last two gentlemen had already done sufficient development work to give some idea of the property, and so a contract was made running two years. This bond has since been re- newed. The same people afterward

bonded the Manhattan group, later purchasing tt outright from the for mer owners, Smith and Rieder.
 The advent of this crowd into this district was very significant and caus- ed the influx of considerable capital and a great amount of prospecting. This result was due to the fact that the Minnesota and Michigan people rep resented almost unlimited capital, and also to another fact. that they hal never known what failure was in the mining world.
 As an outcome, the country within j radius of several miles of the ManhaO- tan is covered with recorded claims almost as thickly as a sieve is with dotted holes And still d large portion of the Chiricahua district remains un- claimed.
 It is estimated that about 150 diff ferent individuals and companies own more or less mining property in the district at present and the number of claims. of course, runs up into tho thousands.
 In addition to the mining industry a large number of people in the Par adise country are interested in the Par cattle, sheep, ranch, lumber and wo Jd industries.
 A conservative estimate of the num- ber of persons living in this district and getting mail at Paradise is placed at 1000.

THE MOWRY SHELTER.

With the installation of q fine ar restcr and brick compressor at the smelter os the Mowry Mining com pany this corporation will begin a cam paign of improvement that will mean a lot to the district. George BeatOn, president of the company, J. N. Cur tis, general manager, and John w. Pout, IT,, assistant superintendent, left here yesterday for Kansas City.
 They have been here for several days inspecting the plant and making ar engagements to increase the capacity of the smelter. The improvements are a result of their visit. An additional smoke stack and furnace is another part of the new construction. HitheT- to a considerable proportion of the out put has been going up the fiues in dust. With the installation of the brick compressor, this will be a thing of the past.
 The officers of the company were very pleased with what they saw on their visit. The lead output of late has been 99 plus. which is about as hign as can be found anywhere.-Tucsoh Star.

The Finding and Development of Mineral Resources in she Territo- ry's Richest Districts.

Recent developments in the tunnel oeing run by the Gold King Mininc company in it's properties in the Brad shaw mountains justify the hope in the minds of those who are interested iia II as well as mining men who have examined its underground workings that ere long ita will rank among the many wealth producers of this section.
 From Reese M. Ling of Prescott. the Journal Miner learns that the tunnel ts now into the mountain a distance of 420 feet and that a vein had been opened up and explored for a distance or 60 feet, which exposed a ledge 12 feet in width, which the management had satisfied itself by many scientific tests from samples taken, could be mined and milled at handsome profit.
 Work on this tunnel has been in progress for some time In it's course IL has tapped five veins of free milling gold ore, all of which sample well. The company is at present confining it's operations to the pushing ahead of the tunnel which will tap the 'vein at the end line of the properties at a depth of 500 feet
 A new air compressor has been or dered which will be installed on the ground as soon as delivered, and other Improvements of q permanent nature are being made for the dumping of the ore when taken out. so that it can be economically handled when a mill. which it is the intention of the com pany to later erect, is built.

IN THE sUPERsTITIoUs.

The Woodbury brothers, nephews of Richard Gird, one of the original dis cOverers of the Tombstone mines have located a large group of lead-silver claims in the Rogers and Cole dis tricts, forty miles north of Florence, in the Superstition range, and are pre- pairing to ship ore. One of the broth CTS went to Phoenix this week to in corporate the properties. One-third of the stock will be set aside as treasury stock and will be sold as needed to meet any expense of development work not covered by the proceeds from ore shipped. The veins of these properties are not large but the ore is very high grade and a considerable quantity Of

At any rate investors in the stock Of the new com pany will have the guarantee that the expenditures will go for legitimate mining, under the direction of mining men who are familiar with the dis trict. Two of the officers are Parker L. WOodman, who is president, and $. w CIawsOn, both old timers in the em- plOy of the Copper Queen company, in Bisbee.
 Another officer of the new develop ment company is U. $. Barron. of Los Angeles, a real estate broker of that city, and it is the intention of the com pany to place three-fourths of the sub scription list for stock among Los An geles capitalists.
 It is understood that the remainder will be placed in the Miners & Mer- chants bank for subscriptions in Bis bee some time during the next two weeks.
 The claims proposed to be developed by this plan are located over the di- vide three miles distant from Bisbee, and were originally owned by Alex Erickson. MT. Erickson will remain with the new company as superintend- ent. At present there is a 30-foot shalt on the property and some ore has been taken out carrying good assays in goli and copper. It is the intention of the company to immediately begin the sinking of a two-compartment shaft to a distance Of 200 feet.

 The Homestead mine is another pro- perty that is looking well for the fu- tUre. There is no question about the ore in this mine-it is q producer. It Is close to the Poland tunnel, in fact, right across the creek. The question of transportation is solved on this pro- perty and there is a five stamp mill on the mine.

TO SEEK LOST LEDGE.

Johnny Pierce has recently let a contract for the sinking of a shaft on his property that adjoins the Com monwealth at Pierce. and will en- deavor to find the ledge of that camp. At the place where Mir. Pierce pro- poses to sink his shaft there is a large contact that crosses the hill and evil dently cut off the ledge that was found in the Commonwealth, as when they reached that point they were unable to trace it further, and did over 170O feet of work beyond the contact with out finding any trace of the ledge.
 MT. Pierce is of the opinion that the ledge was cut off by the contact and has been showed down the hill. He intends to sink the shaft to a good depth to endeavor to find the lost ledge. Tombstone Prospector.

The Pine Mountain company has made a shipment of bullion to Pres colt. The cleanup of the mill was very good for the month, the concern trates being sent to Humboldt shelter.
 Water level has been reached in the shaft on the Midget mine, and a good grade of sulphide found.
 The strike of ore in the Poorman mine is improving, and the vein has now widcned to two feet with a high grade of sulphide.
 The old Shelton mine is now produc- ing more orc than the ten stamp mill of the company can handle. the stopes in the mine are blocked with ore ready to hoist. This will be the case with this old producer until the new mill is in operation.
