WORK RESUMED

After a two months suspension work
has been resumed on the Diamondfeld
Triangle with the intention of prosecut-
ing operations ON an extensive scale.
Prior to the close down a shaft had
been sunk on a 3-foot ledge to a depth
of 100 feet and at that point the lead
was prospected to some extent by
drifting along its trend. A number of
rich pockets were opened up, but no
permanent shipping values obtained. 1t
is the intention to at once follow the
vein down another 100 feet and to then
again drift on it in search of an ore
shoot.
On the Jones lease encouraging as
says and paintings are being secured at
a depth of SO feet. The lessee is sink
ing on a finch streak with values
holding at about $40 to the ton. The
seam is widening somewhat as work
proceeds ard bids fair to make into a
vein of proportions and mineral merit,

TO SECURE NEEDED REST
CASTRO'S RETIREMENT AS PRES
IDENT OF VENEZUELA Is
ONLY TEMPORARY.

Washington, April 13-A cablegram
received b. Senior Gardiras, the Ven
ezuelan charge, from Caracas, confirms
the announcement Of the temporary re-
tirement of President Castro from the
presidency of Venezuela and the in
stallation of Vice President Nincente
Gomez as acting president.
General Castro desires a long rest
and intends going into the country.
the Venezuelan charge said. There is
nothing in our advices to indicate that
his retirement is to be made per-
manent General Gomez acted as pres
ident for more than month last year
when General Castro was going down
the Orinoco. The constitution of Ven
ezuela requires that the vice president
shall act In the absence of the pres
ident from the capital and there is
nothing out of the usual In the pres
ent situation"
1t was stated at the Venezuelan le-
cation that the republic is at absolute
peace and suggestions that revolution
airy movements might have caused
General Castro to retire were laughed
at by the charge, who said that all
rumors of a revolutionary movement
against General Castro by his brother
Celestino Castro, and other leaders
are absolutely unfoGEded.

INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.
Wisconsin Legislative inquiry Opens

at Milwaukee.
Milwaukee, April 13-The insurance
Investigation committee selected by
the Wisconsin legislature in special
session for the investigation of life
insurance companies began during the
morning what will undoubtedly be the
major portion OF its work In the in
vestigation of the Northwestern Mu
tual Life Insurance company.
President III. l.. Palmer of the com
pany was the first witness. The eX-
animation OF Mr.. Palmer was on the
subject OF the organization of the COM
pany, with reference to the election of
its trustees and officials. Admissions
were made by Mr.. Palmer which
showed practically that the officers
and trustees Of the company were In
a position to control Its elections. In
discussing this point when asked ii it
was not fact that the officers prac-
tically were able, through proxy
system, to control the elections of the
company Mr. Palmer said that what
might be called administration tickets
were generally elected.
According to Mr. Palmer the proxies
for policyholders are voted by busi-
ness men of the city of Milwaukee,
annual election at a conference of off,
GERS and department clerks of the
company.

/ who led the revolution against Presi-

ago and who was imprisoned for three
years following his capture, said that
he had heard Of Castro's resignation

NOR here, a comedy that with the
change of a few lines may be trans
formed into a tragedy. Who knows
the president of Venezuela? can OBJ
serve by mental telepathy the delicate
hands that moved the pawns on the
chessboard of my country and must
allow myself to lose repose when pic
turing Gomez in the chair.
Gomez Is not brilliant. For years
the tool of Castro, will he not better
be able to do the bidding of the late
president now that he Is seated in the
presidents chair?
Castro will now be better able to
gather the fruits Of his Office without
assuming any of the responsibilities,
or many of them which have rebound
ed to his discredit.
This comedy may last a week or a
trife longer. Then we will receive
another cablegram that Castro has re-

ESTIMATED FULLY FIVE THOU
SAND HOUSES ARE PARTLY
OR WHOLLY DESTROYED.

Naples, April 13.-From all quar-
ters come reports that the situation
has ameliorated, but ashes from Mount
Vesuvius are falling everywhere
houses are collapsing and buryine
their occupants and roads near the
volcano are no sooner opened than
they are closed again by falling Gin
ders. Viewed as whole the condi
tions throughout the area affected are
better. Frequent detonations are still
heard, but family. The main crater
Is gradually enlarging. The rain OF
ashes over the Mediterranean side OF
the volcano has diminished. The
heaviest fall is now over Somma, San
ia Anastasia and other villages In a
section opposite and distant from this
city.
Large contingents OF troops have ar
rived, affording military force suffi
cient to successfully meet all even
Qualities. The garrisons have been
doubled and sailors ordered ashore
from the squadron In the bay will help
to restore and maintain public order.
For time after midnight the erup'
tions were somewhat more acute.
Five Thousand Houses Demolished.
The latest reports show that 243
houses have been damaged at Portici.
195 at San Giovanni and Teduccio, 432
at Resina and 1000 at Tore del Greco.
1t Is impossible TO determins the exact
number of buildings demolished at
Tore Annunziata. 1t is estimated
that about 5000 houses in all have
been partly or entirely destroyed. In
the villages on the Otajano side of the
mountains all of the houses are dam
aged. At Nola desolation reigns, the
place having been almost entirely
abandoned.
Firemen have been sent from Paler-
mo, Sicily, and other places to the
villages in this vicinity which have
suffered the most from the fall OF
ashes to assist in removing the ashes
from the roofs and relieve the ex-
hausted soldiers. Camp kitchens have
been established at number of places
and free meals are being distributed
wherever possible to those in need of
them.
