KINNEY BILL PASSES THE
 HOUSE
By a Vote of Twenty One to Twelve Lower House sends ClayPool-Kinney Measure To the Senate.
CHRISTY AND GOODWIN
 SPEAK AGAINST BILL
Committee of the Whole Ap- proves Action on Powers Drachman Enforcement Measure--Vote Expected.

PHOENIX. Feb. 1.-The Claypool Kinney bin was passed by a vote Of 21 to 12 in the house today, Briscoe and Powers being absent
 This action was taken after a limit ed debate. Christy and Goodwin spoke in opposition. the former direct ing his remarks to that part of the bin which puts 1t in operation within six months. Ho thought at least @ year hence would be the proper date for the measure Co take effect
 Goodwin declared the bill was un- constitutional and would replace the Mexican-American citizens with Cou- sin Jacks. and would retard the de- velopment Of the mines The twelve opposing votes were Baker Bu- cbanan. Christy Flanagan Goodwin Johns. Lanford. Leeper. Merrill, New berry and Orthel
 In the senate the bill will be referr ed to the labor committee and it is known several amendments will be proposed
 A second startling development Of the day was the approval in the house committee of the whole of the Powers Drachman prohibition regulation bill by a vote of 23 to 10, Representatives Berry Doyle Johns Leeper Marian Mahoney. Newberry Orthel and Reed opposing the bill. There seems to- night little doubt that the bill will pass the house ir vote is taken to- morrow although one member is known to be opposed to the bill. Ora ham was absent from the committee meeting. and other who voted for the approval of the bin today did so to hasten the measure on to where @ final vote can be taken. Although at that time they will vote against the measure A hundred dollars was bet tonight between two well posted poli- tcians that there would not be over one vote difference between the votes for and against the measure on final passage
 The mine tax bnl was reported to the house by the Ways and Means committee, the majority of the com mittee recommending the passage of the bill without the emergency clause and the minority Lee and Claypool opposing the bill entirely There are sufficient votes to pass the bill thru the house without the emergency. which makes 1t certain that the mea- sure will go to a conference. What other amendments the house will adopt is committee Of the whole, is a conjecture
 In the senate two amendments to the constitution were proposed, one by Campbell, which permits the leas- ing. of state grazing lands without an acreage limit, and one by Munds, rais- ing the widows exemption to S20O0 valuation. Bacon had bin providing for medical certificates prior to mar riage. prohibitory causes including alcoholism.
 In the house Francis had a bill providing for the Sunday closing Of barber shops and Merrill had a bill prohibiting false advertising
 The senate confirmed Mills as com missioner of the state fair
 It is anticipated that a decision in the Louis Gherna case will be en tered in the Supreme court probably Saturday, which will of course, be a state court decision on whether the prohibition amendment to the consti tuition is self operating

Cordova seems destined to become the metropolis of Alaska, as the big merger completed today will place her in the ranks of one of the terri tory's heaviest ore producers. The immense coal fields to be opened in the Boring river district, and the mountains of ore in the Kennecott and other mines, will undoubtedly bring her citizens riches beyond the dreams of avarice. We are heartily glad to see our neighbor get her just share of the good things slated for Alaska during the coming year, and that trust that she will help Valdez when her time comes. The coming years promises to be great one for Prince William Sound, and Valdez Bay, and those who have waited so long and SO faithfully seem destined to reap their reward.

Services at Congregational Church,
 It has long been the honored cus- tom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many blessings and mercies to us as nation. The year that is now drawing to close since we last observed our day of national Thanks giving has been, while year of dis cipline, because of the mighty forces of war, and of changes which have disturbed the world, also a year of special blessings for us.
 Now, therefore, I Woodrow Will son, President of the United otates of America, do hereby designate Thurs day, November 18th, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease from labor and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks to Almighty God"

N DAYS Of GOLD
Immense Output Follows Discov.
cry of Metal in California.
For Eleven Years, From 1850 to 1861,
the Yield Was Prodigious, Amount
ing in 1852 to Over
$65,ooo,ooo.

Washington.-"The historically i'm
portant discovery of gold in California
was made in January, 1848, at John
Suffers mill on South Fork of Ameri-
can river, near Coloma, point only
ten or fifteen miles southwest of the
town of Auburn" says a statement by
the geological survey.
From 1850 to 1853 the greatest
yield was derived from the gravels,
and the largest annual output for
this period was more than S65,O00,OOO
in 1852. There was some reaction in
1854, due to previous wild speculation,
but a production of about $5O,OOO,OO0
year, chiefly from placer mines, was
maintained up to 1861.
cat first the gold was won chiefly
from the gravels along the present
streams. Those who first got posses
sion of the rich bars on American,
Yuba, Feather and Stanislaus rivers
and some of the smaller streams in
the heart Of the gold region made al
times from $1,000 to $4,000 a day. In
1S4S $500 to $700 a day was not un-
usual luck; but, on the other hand.
the income of the great majority Of
miners was far less than that of men
who seriously devoted themselves to
trade or even to common labor.
"The gold pan, the rocker, the
tom the sluice and the hydraulic
giant, or monitor named in the order
of increasing efficiency, we're the tools
successfully used by the miners. Into
the rocker and the tom the miner
shoveled gravel or dirt rocking the
machine as he poured in water aud
catching the gold, often with the aid
of quicksilver, on rifles set across the
bottom OF his box. Sometimes stream
was diverted into fiume to lay bare
the gravel in it's bed so that the miner
could get at it.
''In sluicing, the gravel was SHOW
eled into a similar but much longer
box through which stream Of water
was allowed to run.
Inc uyuIdulIC SIduL was SIup1OJ0O
to wash into long rifle-set sluices im-
mense quantities Of gravel, especially
from the higher (Tertiary) deposits,
much of which was too lean to work
out by hand Water was brought for
many miles in bitches and fumes from
the high Sierra and conducted under
great head to a nozzle, from which it
was projected With tremendous force
against the gravel.
1T was the vast quantity Of refuse
washed into the. streams by these hy-
draulic operations that brought about
the conflict between mining and agr1-
cultural interests, finally decided in
favor of the farmers"

NO NEW JOBS AT PANAMA
Canal Office Warns Unemployed Not
to Seek Work at
lsthmuS.

Washington.-Th blockade Of the
Panama canal by earth slides has not
created new work for Americans in
the Canal Zone, and the canal Office
here issued a statement in an effort
to counteract published reports which
have drawn many Americans to the
isthmus in search Of employment.
General Goethals indicates the
statement says, that the number Of
men continually being laid off on ac-
count of reduction Of force is in excess
of the vacancies which were temporar-
lily created by the work on the slides,
and the influx Of men looking for en-
pIoyment on the isthmus is entirely un-
warranted"

Inquiry Into Fertilizer Cost.

A Washington special to the News
and Courier says:
In view of the fact that the prices of
nitrate of soda and acid phosphate for
the coming year have increased nearly
100 yer cent over the prices for last
year, Chairman a. F. Lever of the agri-
cultural committee Of the house Of rep
resentatves has asked the federal
trade commission to investigate for the
purpose Of determining whether the in
crease in prices is due to natural
causes or to a combination Of dealers
in these essential fertilizer ingredients.
The matter is Gerry important to South
ern cotton growers.
