goes without saying. The influx of
Japanese and Hindus is paving the
way ferS the introduction of AsiatIcs
still less desirable. and the entire
Pacific :. coast, British as well as
American, is so unanimous on this
point that it is hard to see how the
representatives of the Eastern states,
who are not yet confronted, With this
problem, can offer prolonged opposi-
ton.
1t is certain that this question Will
be one of the most important ones
coming before this congress. But
that any attempt by the California
delegation to place Japanese on the
same footing with Chinese in the
matter of immigration, will be op-
posed by the administration is made
certain by the presidents announce
ment to congressman Hayes and Kahn
that he is decidedly opposed to any
bill excluding Japanese Iaborers.
The Washington POST regards
it as very significant that five min.
utes after the departure of the Cali
furnia congressman, the Japanese am
bassador arrived for conference
with the president. Later, the an
nouncement that the ambassador had
been recalled to Japan gave rise to
runners of diplomatic difficulties on
the Japanese immigration question,
which is complicated by the orders to
our big feet to proceed to the Pacific.
But there is yet no authentic infor-
nation as to any diplomatic difficulty
having arisen.
The chamber of commerce of San
Francisco is making an effort to Sc
cure for the merchants of that city a

has stated to the senator that pur-
chases of provisions, which the cham
Der of commerce particularly referred
to. are made through the purchasing
agent of the Panama Railroad Com
pany in New York, who makes con-
tracts covering six months. The pre-
sent contracts will expire in Feb
ruary, when Lieutenant Hodges pro-
misses that opportunity will be given
to San Francisco dealers to make bids
for the ensuing six months 1t has
been the custom, he says, to invite
bids from all parts of the country,
and to award contracts in accordance
with the price and quality of the
goods. At the last letting of con-
tracts, after the bids we're opened and
classified, samples we're requested
from the three lowest bidders. and
the award given to that nome of the
three bids which seemed most ad-
vantageous to the government. San
Francisco merchants will do we'll,
therefore, to give consideration to
this matter and prepare themselves to
make bids for the supplies to be ad-
vertised for in February next.
Notification has been received by
Senator Perkins that the dedication
at San Diego of the monument to the
Bennington's dead, originally fixed
for December 18th, has been postpon
ed, but no later date has yet been
determined upon.
A vigorous effort will be made dur
ing the session to secure the estab-
lishment of naval station somewhere
on San Francisco bay, and others at
San Diego and San Pedro. Such
stations will become absolutely
necessary by reason of the increase in
the strength of the United States feet
in the Pacific. That the navy depart
ment will recommend the establish
ment of a station can hardly be
doubted, the only question being its
location. The people of oakland are
alive to the Importance of the pro-
ject, and through Hon. +. G. Sess-
ions have called to the attention of
Congressman Knowland and Senator
Perkins the availability and advant-

of the ESTUARY. The sub-soiI is re-
ported to be of peculiarly suitable
character for the building of docks
and other great works of that kind.
and an ample depth of water can
easily be secured and maintained.
Senator Perkins and Congressman
knowland will at once bring this
question to the attention of the navy
department and endeavor to secure
some action. The secI etary of the
navy. being resident of Alameda
county, will it is hoped, give. it his
favorable consideration
There seems to be soma, doubt in
the minds of some of the people of
Oakland as to the work that can be-
performed under the present contract
for dredging Oakland harbor, and the
Oakland chamber of commerce has in
dictated to Senator Perkins and con-
gresham Knowland what it deems of
prime Importance, provided the entire
contract can not be carried out. 1t
states that the work that is of greatest
Importance is widening the channel
from Chestnut to Fallon street to
500 feet; thence to the mouth of the
basin to 300 feet with depth Of %
feet; thence deepening the channeI
entirely around Brooklyn basin to II

Amador's Gold Product.

The output of gold for Amador
county for 1906 is very gratifying.
1t is one of the heaviest yields for
this section of the mother lode that
we have had since early days. 1t is
figured in the bulletin just issued
from the office of the state mineral
ogist, LewisSS. Aubrey, at 81. $50, 376
That is nearly an average of $3.50, 600
per month. . We lead all other coun-
ties of the quartz mining class, ex-
cept Nevada, and Nevada leads US by
less than s40e, 900. We are far ahead
of our near neighbors of the mother
lode belt, as the following official
figures will show.
Amador 50, 260, 376
Calaveras 1.644, 234
FL Dorado 431, TAO
Tuolumne 1,O39, 675
So that we contributed more than
twice as much gold as the once fam
GUS Tuolumne, and over 5000, 900 more
than Calaveras, which a few years
back outstripped us in bullion pro-
duction. In total mineral output, we
are still outpointed by Calaveras,
owing to the heavy yield in copper
of that county, which last year
amounted to nearly million dollars.
Amador at present contributes very
little in either silver or connar
However, as gold section it ought
to command great deal more atten-
ton from capitalists on the lookout
for profitable investment than it is
receiving at present. Our foothills
carry the gold. There is no disput-
ing that fact. And the gold bearing
quartz is proven to go much deeper
into the bowels of the earth than has
been proven at any other point in
California.
