The gypsy moth Is q European pest
which was accidentally introduced
into Massachusetts nearly 40 years
ago, and has since spread rather
slowly, being still confined to the east
ern part Of Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land, the southern part Of New Hamp-
shire, and to more or less isolated lo-
calities In eastern Connecticut and
southwestern Maine. The presence Of
this insect was first discovered In Bos-
ton in 1889, and the state of Massa-
chusetts for a number OF years kept
up a vigorous effort to exterminate
the insect. making large appropria-
tions therefor. This work was aban-
doned, however, in 1900, but the condi-
tions soon became SO bad that APP
preparations were again made in 1905.
and have since been continued annu-
ally In spite Of the work Of that
state the situation became so serious
that the national government practi-
cally on the ground Of the great dan,
ger that these pests would soon
spread to other states. was called upon
to assist. and since 1907 congress has
been making annual appropriations to
aid in the work Of control. The amount
of this appropriation is now 100000

O|L EXCITEMENT CONTINUES ON
 VERDE
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

Judge William Stephens, who is in the city from Camp Verde, states that it is practically assured that be- fore the first of the year there will be in operation in that valley at least three independent oil drilling enter prises. It is also probable that this number will be increased, several To- eatOrs combining and entering into preliminary arrangements for into dueing machinery. As a result of the activity in locating every inch of land open in and near the valley, there has suddenly appeared on the interesting scene a new proposition that is creating considerable com ment, farmers refusing to sell their cultivated lands or to even place a price on their property. In short, Judge Stephens states, they are as- suming a neutral attitude and are eomplacently awaiting the outcome of exploration, believing that each one has the key to the subterranean flow under the lOwlands of the val ley. Many offers have been made for farming lands desirably located in the supposed oil field, but all have been flatly rejected.

STATEHOOD NOT A
 PARTISAN MATTER
(From Thursdays Dailvl

AOAl huAcudN DdA4N J
 Judge A. C. Baker, of Phoenix who was a member of the constitu tional convention, was a visitor il Prescott last night The Judge ha. been spending the past few day: with his family in Flagstaff and leaves today for Phoenix after hay ing had a most enjoyable vacation il the northern part of the territory.
 When asked by a Journal-Minel representative what he thought the people of Arizona would do when they were given the opportunity to vote on the statehood question re. piled:
 ''I shall vote for statehood, I can. not imagine how the people of this territory can do anything else.
 "StatehoOd is the heritage of all alike and is a purely patriotic and not a partisan matter.
 "Were we to reject the opportun- ity now offered us we would have neither a republican nor a represent ative form of government; we would be in an anomalous position and un- til congress could come to our aid at the next session we could neither elect our own officers nor could any be appointed till that time from Washington.
 CT cannot imagine that the people will turn down this wonderful chance to become a state, if they do so on account of the recall of the judiciary they will be doing themselves an un- necessary injury. If we want the recall there are two ways of getting it under the present eonditiOns-One way will be by means of a legisla- tive enactment and the other by the use of the initiative, which is a pro- vision of the constitution as it will stand when the recall is eliminated
 "You can say for me that I am for statehood and I do not think that the people of this territory will be foolish enough to let this OppOrtun- ity pass Arizona should be a state and I will cast my vote in the fond hope that in a short time we will be taken into the Union"

SILVER ToNGUED
 SPELLBINDERS IN HOLE
(From Wednesdays Daly.)

At the non-partisan ratification meeting of statehood on Monday night. many people expressed surprise that such well-known Democratic or atOrs as Henry F. Ashurst and N. G.. Cunniff were not on the platform and did not add their voices to the gen eral jubilatiOn. Some persons thought that they had been ignored but such is not the ease, and the straight truth should be known, ahd the peO- pie may judge for themselves as to the facts Mayor Goldwater who was member of the constitutional con ventiOn, was empowered to select the speakers on the Democratic side, as it was desired that the affair should not in any sense be political but be absolutely non-partisan. Mir. Gold water asked Mir Ashurst to be one of the speakers and he graeiOusly con sented. ttOrney H. T. Andrews was asked and he flatly refused. Later on Andrews had an animated talk with Ashurst on the street corner and as a result, the latter said to Mir Goldwater: "I cannot speak, I do not think it wise for me to do so.''
 NJ. G. Cunniff was also invited tOI address the ratification meeting. but he emphatically refused.
 Evidently all of these gentlemen thought they were playing politics by declining to participate in a non partisan meeting. Perhaps they were afraid to trust themselves before meeting of their fellow-citizens where patriotism was to be elevated above partisanship.
 The general opinion yesterday was they have put themselves into a hole. l

(ETom Fridny's DailyO

A HI. Wethey, managing director of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, while in the city yesterday from Humboldt, stated that the in terests of the company were never in better condition. A greater tonnage of ore IS being smelted with heavier production than at any time since operations were resumed. Damaged machinery has been repaired and with the increased receipt of custom ores. he is elated over the present situa- tion and future of his eompany's in terests and those of the mining field generally. MT. Wethey also stated that development at the Blue Bell is progressing satisfactorily, and that sinking from the lower levels was started n few days ago. He left for San Francisco in the afternoon and is en route to New York city, to re- turn at a later date.
