The legislature resumed work Thurs day afternoon with renewed vigor after nearly a week of recreation. The greatest flood of bills of the session was poured in, many of them of an important character. There was a hint that there was to be a field day in the house. It was rumored that the galleries were to be filed with ladies; that a large flower fund had been sub scribed and expended and that the flowers were to be poised on the gal lery rails ready to be showered down upon MT. Pace and other advocates of the bill amending the local option law which it was reported was to come up for third reading and final passage.
 MT. Pace, author of the bill, was not in his seat when the house was called to order but it was surmised that he was in a committee room awaiting the psychological moment when his appearance would be made with more dramatic effect But it was evident that the house had re eeived what is known in elegant socie- ty as a "bum steer" MT. Pace did not make his appearance at all; the to the local option law was not called up and throughout the session there was only the usual euri- ous crowd in the galleries.
 It has become more evident than ever that this is a Democratic legisla- ture and that the law-making is to be done in caucus and brought before the two houses only for ratification. Thus the Republican minority is con verted into what is also known as ele- gant society as "bumps on logs" No effort however has yet appeared to de- prive the Republican members of the privilege of drawing their salaries and mileage.

GOLD ROAD PLANS TO
 HAV EMILL OF 100 STAMPS

KINGMAN, Jan. 27.-It is now as sured that by the first day of next June. one hundred stamps will be dropping at Gold Road. Ground was broken for the new mill the first of the week and work will be pushed as rapidly as men and machinery can push it, until it is completed.
 This is the third mill to be erected by this company. When the mine was first discovered, in 1900, owing to a scarcity of water a dry process mill was erected. This proved very ex- pensive and as the water was develop ed it was torn out and Huntington mills substituted. Although the mine was working bonanza ore, producing in these years nearly two and half million dollars, dividends only to the amount of two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars were declared. So one year ago the mill was closed down and all work discontinued in the mine save a prearranged system of development.
 Originally three claims, located com tinuously on the prominent Outerop, comprised the property. They were the Gold Road, Line Road and Billy Bryan, each full lentgh claims. On the Billy Bryan surface, ore was ex- posed which equaled in value that which had been extracted from the Gold Road. It was planned to drive a drift from the 800 level of the work ing shaft to a point 25OO feet east, on the Billy Bryan, traversing the entire length of the unexplOred Line Road, and to meet this drift with a shaft 700 feet deep, 200 feet being gained in the ascent of the hill.
 All this has been done, with won derful results. After leaving the ore bodies in the Gold Road a barren zone was encountered which continued for about 500 feet. Then the big steam drills broke into what has since proved to be one of the longest con tinuous ore shoots yet found of its magnitude. The drift was a thousand feet away from the big compartment shaft which was being sunk to meet it. Splendid ore was found in the shaft and the drill followed ore for the entire 1000 feet.
 The connection was made this week. To realize the extent of this develop ment one must bear in mind that the average width of this great vein is II feet, in places furnishing milling ore 24 feet in width. It is estimated that it will take five years for the new 100 stamp mill to treat the ore above the level of the drift, and that $10,000,000 in gold vii be added to the nation 's wealth.

RAKE UP ANCIENT ACT OF GOVERNOR
 kIbBEY
DetractOrS Bring Forth Unimportant Change
 Of Records

| PHOENIX, Jan. 29.-That charges have been filed with the senate against Governor Kibbey, opposing the con- frmation of his nomination, became known yesterday. At least, there is one charge but it has no relation to any official act of his as governor but to an act performed by him twenty years ago when he was judge of the then fourth judicial district. The judge is accused of having altered the 1 records of the court of Pinal county in tae ease of the United States against Reymert. The charge is said to have been preferred by General Thomas F. Wilson of Tucson, then United States attorney.
 Reymert, a prominent mining man of Pinal county, was the defendant in an action brought by the government and the ease was then on trial before Judge Kibbey. Reymert was defend ed by Francis J. Heney and the gov ernment was represented by General Wilson.
 One night it was brought to the at- tentiOn of the latter that MT. Heney and Reymert had been together with some of the trial jurors in various sa- looms. The ease had not of course been submitted to the jury. The mat ter was reported to Judge Klbbey, who made an investigation and found that the allegation was true. He thereup- on called Mir. Heney before him for contempt, delivered a eaustie criticism of his act of impropriety if not of something worse and with his own hand entered it upon the record.
 Sometime afterward Judge Kibbey in a conversation with is associates, Judges Sloan and Wells, said that he feared that his criticism of MT. Heney had been rather too severe, inasmueh as it appeared that he had been guilty only of an impropriety, and he said he believed it was unjust to leave the criticism standing on the record against him. Mr. Heney was then a rising attorney and 1t seemed possible that the record might he used against him for harm in after years.
 This view was shared by Judge Sloan and Judge Wells and Judge Kibbey expunged the order from the record, it is said, by merely drawing line through the words of the order. A photograph of the record in this shape was taken not long ago and was sent along with the charges to the senate.
 It is stated that it was not the pur- pose of Judge Kibbey to conceal the fact that such an order had been made for that is said to be yet shown by the record. His purpose was to ae- knowledge rather that the order was of unnecessary severity.-Republiean.

 upon the highest standard of educa
 tion. We must get in line with pro gress, moral as well as material, and
 make the baby state right in the lead
 of her sisters in all that tends to make a great state through the elevation of
 its people,"
 So much for Councilman St. Charles That his message will prove a boomer ang in the camp of the liquor men is almost certain, for St. Charles is known as a good fellow in every sense of the word, and has been counted up on from the beginning by the saloon men as one certain to fight the bill to a fnisn.
 Ever since the introduction of the bill, a certain clique of attaches, not ably in the house, have constituted themselves as lobby to ascertain the attitude of both branches of the legis- lature towards the bill. W. c. Mur- ray, of Cochise, the man who did not seek an appointment but who was wired afte reorganization had been eff fected that two positions awaited him, and came on and took a clerkship in the house at six dollars per day, has openly espoused the cause of the li- quor men, buttonholing members in the chambers and committee rooms and in the hotel lObbies in the even ings in his endeavor to win them over to the defeat of the majority cause. Another attacne who has taken con- siderable interest in the bill is Assist ant Chief Clerk Callaghan, also of Co chise, who took pains to ascertain by secret poll the attitude of various members. Bo. Whitesides, sergeant at arms of the council, and formerly member from Santa Cruz county, is still another who has espoused the cause Of the liquor men, and for the past few days has spent most of his time in the lobby of the Adams, using his best endeavors with legislators against the Pace bill.
 In tine assembly such Democratic leaders at De Sousa, the editor of the Phoenix Democrat, Neil Bailey, floor leader of the majority, Woolf of Mar ieopa, and Peterson, of Navajo, are openly for the bill. On the Republi- can side probably a solid seven votes will be east for the Pace measure. 4 poll of the Senate showed not one member openly opposing the bill while more than a majority declared inten- tions of supporting it. These are the kind of reports sent out by Murray, Callaghan and Whitesides, and upon which it is believed the saloon inter ests have determined to center a strong lobby in the capital to meet what they deem the requirements of the situation.

Assemblyman WOolf, of MarieOpa county, was today handed a bill by John T. Sprangler, cashier of the Mesa City Bank, and chairman of the executive council of the Arizona Banks Association, which if passed will be known as the "Bulk state law" The bill is designed to protect creditors from dishonest merchants who plan to sell out and deeamp for the purpose of fraud. The bill pro vides that any merchant contemplat- ing a sale of his goods as a whole, must record such intention at least 10 days before accepting any money for the same. The bill is intended to meet the requirements of a resolution passed by the Bankers Association at their recent annual meeting in Bisbee While not opposed to the bill as it stands, Assemblyman Woolf is of the opinion that it could be made much more effective by requiring publiea- tion of intention in a daily paper, as likely to meet the eyes of the public to be protected. MT. WOolf will pro bably suggest such an amendment be- fore introducing the bill.

PHOENIX, Jan. 2S.-The dispatch received yesterday morning by the Hon. Kean St. Charles, Democratic member fthe council from Mohave county, brought to light the fact that the liquor interests of the territory have determined to put up a strong fight to defeat the Pace bill, which re- quires that only a majority vote is necessary in a district to effect local option. The message to St. Charles, which was signed by one Thomas De vine. member of the firm of Devine & Lovin, in the saloon business in King man, read: "Defeat Pace bill if pos sible. Lovin and I will arrive tomor- row'
 Your correspondent was in the Western Union Telegraph office when MT. St. Charles received and read the message. Usually one of the mildest- hammered of men, the councilman from Mohave manifested much feeling after reading the message, and declared hotly that so far as he is concerned, no lob by is necessary as he intends to vote for the Pace bill.
 Continuing, he said: "Without en- tering into the why's or wherefores of the liquor business, I consider the principle involved in the Pace bill en- tirely American and strictly Democrat ie, and shall vote for it on that ground alone. No one ever called me a tenn perance fanatic, for I take a drink whenever I feel like it and grant to every man the same privilege. But for the liquor business to set itself up as entitled to a two-thirds majority privilege is, in my judgment, ridieu- lous. It is surely a business in which every member of a community in which a saloon is established is vital ly interested. No legitiate business in my judgment, need ever fear an ad- verse verdict at the hands of a ma jority of liberty loving Arizona eiti- zens
