ESSEX COUNTY MEN CONFER.
Locking for Power nc Trenton-Ssid Not
10 want the Spoakership.

L00kinE for Power at TrentOn-oniu NOt
TO want the spoakershlp.
Aconference was held at the Jeffersonian
Club, Newark, yesterday afternoon by
the eleven members OF the Essex county
delegation In the next House OF Assembly
Of the New Jersey Legislature. Their
purpose was to formulate q plan Of action
in the caucus that has been called by Sen
ator James A. Minturn Of Hudson for to-
morrow night at the headquarters Of the
Robert Davis Association in Jersey City.
The conference was secret and the members
pledged themselves not to reveal their
programme. IL is understood that the
plan OF the Essex men, who expect to be
supported by at least three Of the Passaic
county Assemblymen and by the single
members from Hunterdon, Sussex and
Warren, the combination giving them
seventeen of the thirty-one Democratic
votes in the Assembly is TO drive the Davis
Hinchlnfe combination into a minority
position and force 1t to yield to whatever
demands the Essex men and their allies
sail make.
Essex does not want the Speakership
and there 10 a disposition in the delegation
to vote for Joseph A. Riordsn, a Hudson
man and the supposed choice OF Davis
for that place. But if Riordan is 20 get
support from Essex and its allies il will he
conditional upon the granting to them OF
the things they want in the organization OF
the Assembly.
1t ia understood that the Essex men
will oppose the selection Of William Dill
| Of Passaic, a Hinchliffe man, for Clerk Of
the House. Dill Is opposed by State Chair
man William b. Gourley, and il is believed
former United States Senator James Smith,
\ Jr., has promised Gourley that he viii use
his influence with the men from Essex to
nave them oppose Dill.
After the Newark conference adjourned
last night the Essex men stated that they
had not fixed upon any one as their choice
either for Speaker or for leader OF the
majority. They said that while they had
considered Riordan they were not certain,
and would not be until certain matters
developed in the caucus Tuesday night
that they would support him. They said
that an Essex man could have the Speaker
ship, but that no member of the delegation
would accept the place, all of them being
new men and without experience in parlia-
mentary procedure. 1t was said, too, that
Oliver S. Holcombe OF Hunterdon has some
following on the Speakershlp proposition
but that his chances are seriously impaired
by the fact that he represents a small county
that has only one vote in the House. As
semblymen Levy Morris of Sussex was ALEC
considered as being of Speakership timber,
but the fact that he voted in the last session
for the Bishops' bill was reckoned a deadly
handicap against him.

GOLD MINING IN Alaska.
The Output Of the Yukon valley Increasing
Rich Discoveries Near Nome.


WARRINGTON, Dec. 2.-Interesting in
formation concerning the mineral resources,
the commercial progress and development
and the population Of Alaska is contained
in the annual report of the Governor Of that
Territory. As to gold mining the report
says:
THE large gold bearing area Of the Yukon
Valley Is increasing its output from year to
year, and the developments in the Fair
banks district and near Richardson have
been 70 great as to leave no doubt as to the
tremendous possibility Of that section OF
Alaska. The output from this district and
from the entire Yukon Valley this year has
been very considerably curtailed by lack
of water, the past season having been
unusually dry. Notwithstanding the short
age OF water the output OF the Fairbanks
district will be 80 per cent. larger than
during the preceding year.
Mining continues in Circle City on the
Yukon River, on the headwaters Of the
Koyukuk and the older placer camps Of the
interior. Large areas OF placer bearing
gravel in the older Yukon amp are being
purchased by capitalists for the purpose OF
Installing dredges and labor saving APP
~pliances for the recovery OF gold. On &C,
count Of the very rich discoveries on Old
Beach lines near Nome, unusual activity
has prevailed in that camp during the last
year, resulting in a very considerable in
crease in the output of gold notwithstand-
ing a season Of dryness.'
The population Of Alaska increased about
$500 in the fiscal year ended June 30 last
There was a marked increase In the value
of the commerce bet een the Territory and
the States. The products shipped from
the States were valued at more than $l4,-
OOO. 900 and from the Territory t. the States
at 50. Dos, 900.

Internal Revenue Omcers Prepared IN
Administer the New Law.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-The most i'm
portant~ developments in the internal revenue
business Of the Government during the last
year. according to the annual report of
Commissioners Of Internal Revenue Yerkes,
were the preparations for carrying into
effect the new law Of Congress providing
for the withdrawal from bond, tax free,
Of denatured alcohol. Elaborate investi-
cations Of the denatured alcohol industry
in Europe have been made and the officers
Of the Internal Revenue Service are pre-
pa red to administer the law.
at is confidently believed" says the
Commissioner in his report, that great
benefit will be derived by the people at
large from this legislation, and few public
measures ever received in the Congress
such hearty and unanimous support
The total receipts from internal revenue
taxes in the last fiscal year were nearly
SIS. 900. 900 larger than in the fiscal year
1905. the total being S24s .I02. 1873. The
commissioner says hat in making the esti-
mate Of the receipts from all sources Of
internal revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1907, and in view OF the steady
Increase. il would be safe to say that the
total receipts would surely be $3.50, 600 900
we're il not for the fact that the Congress
on June last passed the denatured alcohol
bill. He says there will doubtless be some
reduction on account Of the free withdrawal
Of spirits in bond, yet he believes the hush
ness conditions OF the country are such
that the receipts from all sources will still
reach $3.50. 600. 900. There was an increase OF
"a, 88l .lSl in receipts during the first three
months Of the present fiscal year as COM
pared with the same months Of last year.
Last year. as usual, the largest receipts
were from Illinois and the second largest
from New York. The next States in order
Of receipts were Indiana. Kentucky. Penn
wyiyania and Ohio.

STONE FOR INTAKE DAM.

A large force of men has been put to work building the track from Pilot Knob, a station eight miles west of Yuma, to the Mexican intake of the Imperial canal. From a hill at Pilot Knob stone will be quarried and hauled by the railroad company at the rate of 200 cars a day and dumped from an enormous tresle to be built across the gap. By this method it is hoped to turn the river channel, and then the stream can be easily brought under control.

MESA CANTALOUPES
 ADVERTISE THE VALLEY
The PrOsrsSsiveness of the Mesa
 Chamber of Commerce.

The great advantage in an advertis ing way which will result to Mesa City and, for that matter. to the entire val ley. from the carload shipments of cantaloupes which are daily being sent into the east is not being overlooked by the Mesa chamber of commerce. On all the cars are hung banners which tell the people who may view them along the route that the ship ment consists of cantaloupes grown near Mesa City, in the Salt River val ley, under the great Tonto reservoir. The idea was suggested by Dr. Chan dler. and it was he who secured the first of the banners. Arrangements were also made yesterday with a photographer to have the packing camps at Mesa and several teams which were hauling in loads of the fruit photographed. the pictures later to be used in a folder to be issued by the chamber of commerce.
 For the next few days the shipments will be less than they have been for the past week. The reason for this is that the growers had picked their vines very close, the first fruit in the eastern markets bringing the better prices About forty-eight hours will now be allowed before more melons are picked, in order that they may ripen more completely
 Yesterday word was received at the local office of the Maricopa x Phoenix road of the safe arrival in Chicago of the first five cars of melons shipped over that line by freight. The advice said the fruit was received in excel lent condition. although at the time the message was sent the prices for which. the crates were sold cOuId not be learned

OLD TOMBSTONE UNEARTHED. A Bit of Arizona History Recalled in
 Yuma.

At the foot of old Fort Yuma hill, on the north side, there was unearthed a few days ago a beautiful marble shaft bearing this inscription:
 Sacred to the Memory of
 FRANCIS STANTON.
 Died October 6, 1859,
 Aged 29 Years.
 Erected by the Officers of the Com
 mission for the Survey of Sonora
 as a Token Of our Love and
 Respect for our Friend and Com
 rade.
 Erected in 1860.
 The marble shaft had been thrown down and buried by the action of the elements and lay hidden for perhaps thirty years or more. It is d highly polished shaft of Vermont marble and beautiful in design and finish.
 The place where the shaft was uncov- cred was formerly used as cemetery for the government post, and a number of soldiers and others were buried there. Eight or ten years ago, how ever, by authority of the war depart 1 ment the bodies or what remained of them, were exhumed and reintered in other cemeteries.
 Captain Isaac PO!hamus, who came to this section in the early sos, remem- bers something of the survey referred 10 in the above inscription, touching upon an event of nearly fifty years ago. | In 1857 or 1858 d Splendidly equipped surveying party of perhaps twenty i five men arrived at Fort Yuma and established headquarters there. Major ! Stone, a retired army officer, was in | charge of the survey, and all of the i engineers were Americans, though it was given out that they were in the l service and under the instructions of a | French syndicate which had contra cted | to survey and establish section lines l of the public domain of Mexico. FoI ! this service large tracts of land were to 1 be ceded tQ the syndicate for French | colonization. The surveyors were at | work up and down the river and into the interior of Sonora and Lower Cal i ifornia for year or more, and Captain 1 Polhamus remembers the young man, i Stanton, very well.-Yuma Sentinel.
