In the belief that Mt. Lowe contains
beneath its surface hundreds of thou
sands of tons of low grade gold-bear-
ing ore, the Jewish syndicate Of Mil
waukee. close corporation made up Of
prominent men Of that city, will begin
active mining operations in Millard
canyon tomorrow morning.
The property to which 1t now lays
claim consists of some 200 acres along
the sides of the canyon below Alpine
and was purchased from the Dawn
Mining company for $4,000 In escrow.
The terms OF the contract are that the
syndicate shall do certain amount OF
development work within the next
forty days. AT the end of that time the
syndicate may turn over its $4,000 or
give up the property as 1t chooses.
The new company is said to have an
almost unlimited amount Of capital be-
hind it. and will spend $4,000 In the
next few months seeking to determine
whether or not the large vein of ore
which it has discovered is of any great
depth. II as valuable as 1t is now be-
lieved to be, a $4,000 reduction plant
will be built within year.
Horace ]. Pullen, mining engineer
of recognized standing. and who as the
syndicate's representative is to have
charge OF the work, arrived in Los An
geles yesterday afternoon from San
Francisco and is registered at the Van
Nuys hotel.
Rush for Claims
A few persons who were cognizant
Of the expected development work and
the reports of the finding of large
body OF low grade ore. during the past
week have quietly taken up claims
bordering on the Dawn property, and
the entire canyon. as well as other
parts Of the mountain, have been
staked out
Mr.. Pullen said yesterday; From
the investigation have made believe
that there is every indication Of big
body Of low grade ore. but this cannot
be fully determined until much actual
work has been done.
1.-THE Dawn Mining company has
done about 1000 feet OF development
work. and In my inspection Of the mine

to the ton. The general average would
be about SO. So
''The ore body consists of a sulphite-
bearing quartz dixie or vein cutting
through the granite which forms the
principal rock of Mt. Lowe. This vein,
where cut in the Dawn mine. is about
fifty feet wide and carries values OF
from So. so to $40 The vein has been
cut at depth Of 100 feet.
To Sink Deep Shaft
'It is the intention Of the new own
ers to sink at least 200 feet farther
down to prove up the ore body.
THE mine being in locality 80 un-
usual and heretofore called barren. you
may depend upon it we are not going
to do any booming or building of works
until after the output of ore from the
mine has proved the investment will
be a wise one.
D I'VE are simply taking our chances.
The company has enough faith in the
property to be willing to spend $4,000
in development work. II we did not be-
lieve results are there for the working
the syndicate would not have anything
to do with it.
1.-THE Jewish syndicate is not stock
company and 1t has nothing for sale.
1t is close corporation made up of
prominent citizens of Milwaukee. If
the property proves valuable all well
and good. If such is not the case
suppose the individual members can
stand the brunt OF their losses with no
great Inconvenience.
For six months In the year there
is an abundance Of water In the canyon.
If the property shows up as l expect.
within year we will have a s15O,00O
cyanide reduction plant at the bottom
OF the canyon. and will shoot the ore
down by pipe line. using the water
as carrier and in the process of re-
duction."

NEW YORK, July 22.-The $25,oOo-a-

B. Hyde, mother of James Hazen Hyde
and widow Of the founder Of the Equi-
table Life Assurance society, has
drawn from the society since the
death Of her husband has been cut Off
by Paul Morton, the new chairman OF
the board of directors.
The looping off of the pension is part
of Mortons general scheme of re-
trenchment which he has carried out
in spite Of the greatest pressure. Ev-
cry effort was made to get Morton to
leave this gratuity on the books, but
he replied that the time for sentiment
had passed and he wiped off the ac-
count.
There are still few shares Of the
Equitable stock held by Mrs. Hyde
and this and James H. Hydes position
on the board Of directors are all that
is left of the Hyde influence in the
society. 1t is practically nil.
Mrs. Hyde will not be seriously in
convenienced by this action of Nor

her sons fortune, outside of the ST.

Ryan for the stock control Of the So

CHICAGO, July 22.--"Open shop

manent result Of the collapse Of the
teamsters' strike. This was assured
today when many employers indicated
that they did not intend to reinstate
union drivers.
The coal dealers and manufacturers
and merchants employing truck drivers
have determined in many cases to go
even further than the open shop plan
which means no discrimination either
for or against union men-and to ex-
clude union drivers altogether, as the
railway companies have already done.
Without knowing whether or not the
truck drivers and coal teamsters local
unions will vote their strike off tomor-

that number of barns would continue
to hire only non-union drivers.
I'VE are satisfied with our non-union
drivers and can get along without the

manager of e. f. Days Coal company.
There Will be no change made, re-

Other coal dealers including the Pea

same position. James Simpson, speak
ing for Marshall Field & Co., said: 1--WE
shall not put any Of the strikers back
to work. None of the non-union men
will be discharged to make room for
