NO GAMBLING IN
TERRITORIES
Bill Has Passed Lower House Of
Congress Prohibiting Games
Of Chance

A Washington dispatch says: The
in the Territories It's consideration re-
suited in a sharp clash between Dele-
gate Mark Smith of Arizona and Mr..
Littlefeld.
Stating that in Arizona and New Mex
leo and other Territories gambling is IL
censed, Mr.. Littlefield of Maine entered
a bill reported from the Judiciary Com
mittee making gambling in the Terrific
ries illegal. The bill makes gambling a
msdemeanor, punishable by a fine of
$4,000 and one year Imprisonment.
Vigorous opposition was made by Del
egate Mark Smith of Arizona
Il do not wish it understood that 1
am here in sympathy with gambling
he began. but / do protest against the
gentleman from Maine, the furtherest
point in the United States, coming in
here to meddle in our quarrels. when.
with prohibition in his own State, there
are $50 saloons open in the town of Ban
gor, Me. 1t a prohibition that does
not prohibit l submit the gentleman
should confine MS philanthropies to his
own State. instead of spreading out over
the southwest"
He declared that there was no pure
motive behind the bill. that it was for
the purpose of influencing votes in Ari-
zona for ojint Statehood.
Mr.. Smith contended that the Terri
tory would prohibit gambling at its
next session. He said he would ask
unanimous consent to amend the bin so
asto make It apply to territory under
the Jurisdiction of the United States.
He said this would include Alaska. the
Philippines. Porto Rico. the District OF
Columbia and all other Territories.
In replying Mr.. Littlefield exhibited
considerable feeling Speaking of Dele
gate Smith. Mr. Littlefeld said:
II tried to treat him like a gentleman
but the first thing he does is to meet
me with sneer. 1 do not propose to
be swung aside on this debate on prohi-
otion in aine. He knows as little about
that as the average gentleman who casts
the same aspersions."
Later Mr.. Littlefield refused to allow
Mr.. Simth TO interrupt him. This le,. to
second statement by Mr.. Smith to
MAKE ciear that he was not making a
defense of gambling
The bill was passed ON a viva voce
vote.

RICH STRIKE
AT BULLION

a report Is current to the effect that
John Green. formerly OF this place, says
the Eiko Free Press. has struck a ledge
Of gold ore in the Bullion district which
Is one Of the richest ever discovered in
this section of Nevada He took a sam
pie Of the ore to Beowawe ana the peo-
pie Of that place are fairly wild with
excitement over the nnd.
The ore closely resembles a white
quartz and is very much the same char
acter OF ore as that exhibited by Egi-
mes. the Swede. Returns have not been

estimated that 1t will run at least ten
thousand dollars to the ton.
The report caused several Eikoitss to

object of Governor Colcord's visit il to
secure statistics on the output OF tho

porter for the News on mining topics
Governor Colcord said:
I'm my opinion Goldflelds era of pros
perity has but just begun and 1 believe
that with greater depth and additional
milling facilities the production of the

bilities Is strengthened. On former visits
have inspected the various mines ard
from my observation am convinced of
both the permanency of veins and val

The gold received at the Carson II. int
from Goldneld is the finest In the world.
In fact. it's purity is remarkable. Every
bar has a fineness Of better than 20. a.,d
2o.2 bars are not uncommon from here
