Mr.. King, who is half owner of the
famous king-Barnes mine in the north
Moccasin district, stated that while
his new mine does not show up so
we'll as did the King Barnes with the
same development, it is sufficiently en-
couraging to Justify the erection of a
mill.
Both cyanide and shipping ore have
been fonnd, and the former existing
in large body and assaying a good
average.
Assays from the shipping ore run
as high as $1,000 a ton, and If it ex-
lists ID quantity the owners of the
mine will be lucky, indeed All of the
tim bers for the mill are on the ground
and the machinery will be ready to
put IN place about May l.

Hays Warning to Cuba.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Secre-
tary Hay has sent a warning to Cuba
that the slightest amendment of the
Cuban congress even that which pro-
poses to make its ratification a con-
dltlon on the treaty going into effect
during the current calendar year, GER
tainly would defeat the convention
itself, since any amendment must be
submitted to the United States senate
and before that can be done the ate
fixed for the final exchange of ratiti-
cation, March 81, will have been
passed.
Mr.. Squires, United States minister
at Havana, has transmitted this news
to the foreign minister and he is hope.
fnl that it will be sufficient to curb the
desire to amend the treaty. 1t is re.
allied here that foreign influences in
Havana, which will be affected iniur-
lously by the treaty, are working up
on Cuban pride to defeat the ratifca.
tion by attacking amendments to the
treaty. This was fully expected and
is regarded as within the legitimate
duties of the diplomatic representatives,
in such cases, but it is believed the
effort will prove unsuccessful.

German Empress Injured.

BERLIN, March 27.-The empress
was thrown from her horse while rid.
ing at Grunwald today and her right
arm broken.
Later advices show that the empires s
slightly fractured her forearm, as the
result of fall from her horse, which
stumbled while she was riding in the
Grunwald forest this morning.
The empress, who was accompanied
by Prince Adelbert, her third son, and
her suite, was assisted to the hunting
lodge after her fall and a surgeon was
telephoned for, with the result that a
physician was sent to the lodge in an
automobile, which was driven at the
highest possible speed. The empress
fell violently.
Emperor William, who was near at
hand, was among the first to reach her
side and assisted her to rise. The i'm
perial party were galloping at the mo-
ment when the empress horse SHE'D

The Greatest in the World

NEWARK, N. j., March 27.--The
Evening News prints an interview with
Admiral Dewey, credited to its WASH
lngton correspondent, in which the
admiral is quoted as saying:.
"The United States has the greatest
navy in the world, for this reason:
Every man in the United States navv
is man of intelligence. He knows
just what to do and the right time to
do it. A warship is an enormous ma.

Cuban Senate Ratifics Treaty.

HAVANA, March 28.-The Cuban
senate has unconditionally adopted
@he reciprocity treaty as amended by
the United States senate.
The vote on ratification stood Il to
3. This approval is absolute and is
not hampered by any commands, the
questionable time limit amendment
having been dispensed with through
the receipt of cable message from
Secretary Hay, in which it was posi-
lively declared that President Roose.
velt would call a special session of
congress before Decembe |. The pur-
port OF this assurance was transmitted
to the senate by President Palma.
WASHINGTON, M arch h28.-Secretarv
Hay, when apprised of the Cuban sen.
ate action in ratifying the Cuban reci.
proclty treaty, expressed his gratifca-
tlons. During the last three days
Secretary Hay has been in active
cable communication with Minister
Squiers, and no doubt the action of
the senate committee in receding from
its position was influenced more or
less thereby. But three days remained
OF the time limit in which ratiications
could be exchanged. Secretary Hav
SAID, however, that as soon as official
notice is given by cable of the mailing
of the necessary documents rati1ica-
tion can be exchanged at once without
waiting for their receipt. Secretary
Hay said in his message to Minister
Squiers he gave positive assurance
that the president would call an extra
session Of congress in the fall. The |
time was not stated, but the secretary
said congress would be convened suf-
ficiently in advance of the regular
session to insure it's action on the

Outlook for Reciprocity Treaties.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The an
nouncement in the Jamaican legisla-
ture regarding the failure of the reci-
procity treaty with the United States
is but forerunner of what NAV be
expected of all agreements of similar
character which failed to secure action
by the United States senate. It was
evident that the members were op.
posed to reciprocity treaties sent to it
by the president and all efforts along
that line have been abandoned by the
administration. The president is dis
couraging the formation of new trea-
ties on account of the attitude OF the
senate. Sugar formed an important
item in the treaties with the West In
dies, no reductions could be made on
account OF the terms of the Cuban
agreement, which specified that no
sugar from other countries except
Cuba should be admitted into the
United States, at lower rate of duty
by treaties, while that treaty is in
force.
HAVANA, March 26.-The chance
for the carrying through of the reel.
procity treaty appears slender tonight,
unless the United States government
comedies the right to the Cuban senate
to provide that the treaty shall not be
effective unless it is ratified by the
United States congress during the
present year.

changed conditions as to treights as

Antarctic Discoveries.

LONDON, March 26.-PresidentM M ark.
ham OF the Royal Geographical socie-
ty, commenting on the achievements
OF the British Antarctic ship Discov-
cry says it has been proved conclu-
sively that the greater part of the An
tarctic region is vast continent.
Captain Scott, the commander of the
Discovery penetrated one hundred
miles farther south than any previous
explorer and discovered an extensive
mountainous region, hitherto unknown
extending to 1920 south.
He thinks this indicates that the
land stretches to the pole in a series
OF very lofty mountains, which is con-
sidered to be far the most important
geographical result ever achieved in
antarctic expeditions. The Discovery
wintered 400 miles further south than
any previous vessel has wintered.
