GREAT BRITAIN INTERESTED.
London Press Paying Much Attention
to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Affairs.

London.-The British press, editor
tally and through it's correspondents
in the United States, is paying keen
attention to Acknowledgements re-
lations, and Ambassador Aoki's
speech at the American Asiatic soci-
ETY., secretary of commerce and Labor
Metcalf's report on the San Francis
co dispute, and President Roosevelt's
message on the school situation in
California, are discussed with some
concern.
The Tribune thinks President
Roosevelt's firmness and tolerance
have had their reward, while the
weakness of Nj. Stolypin the Russian
premier, is a pledge for peace al
most as valuable as President Roose-
velts firmness and popularity.
I'VE may afford to dismiss both
the Russian and the American scares
from our minds" says the Tribune,

are far from agreeable or assuring"

able development work in the past two
months on its claims just west of Yer
ington. The company is capitalized for
$500, 600 with stock at 81 per share. The
nature of the work is a shaft being sunk

tunnel being run on the same ledge.
The shaft is now down Is feet and the
tunnel in about 40 feet. The three
claims owned by this company were pur-
chased about year ago from Billy Lee

now exposed which shows up mixture
of oxide carbonate and sulphide ore that
will run from 5 to 40 per cent. The
present showing is very favorable and
there are indications that the property
will prove good one. The develop
ment work is being carried on under the
