RUSSIA DEMANDS THAT CHINA
AND JAPAN REACH AGREEMENT
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PEKING, Dec 15.-The Russian govern
ment has warned the Chinese government
that unless Japan and China within a
reasonable time come to an agreement
similar to that embraced by the Russia
Japanese telegraph convention, signed
last October. Russia will present its noti-
fication that this convention terminates
with the year.
The studied indifference to the repre-
sentatives of the interalliance between
Great Britain. Russia. France and Japan
has caused China to turn to America,
as was shown in the speech of Secretary
Taft at Shanghai recently, when he
strongly reavowed the adherence OF
America TO "the open door, policy and
asserted that China would have the SYM
pathy and support of America in every
movement for her reform and uplifting.

GERMANY SEES GREAT
VALUE IN LONG CRUISE
BY Associated Press.

BERLIN, Dec. 15.--The German admir-
atty has been observing for some time
with the greatest interest the prepara-
tions for the departure of the American
neet which IS regarded here as the most
unusual naval experiment of modern
times. The only event which is consid-
cred comparable to this cruise of the
American battleships TO the Pacific Is
the passage OF the Russian fleet from the
Baltic around the Sea Of Japan.
Although the Russian fleet started on
this voyage under circumstances involv-
Ing much greater danger, owing to a
state Of actual war existing, yet the
American feet comprises a larger num-

Japanese Emlaratlon

Interest naturally attaches to the pro-
pertionately large immigration from
Japan. While the exclusion laws have
rendered practically nil the immigration
from China, the immigration from Japan,
while relatively not great, has trebed in
the past year This increase is sgnifl-
cant, too, because it comes in the face of
the regulations adopted by the American
government. with the assent of Japan,
which 1t was supposed would curtail the
immigration OF Japanese to this country
very materially
Commissioner Sargent presents excerpts
from official reports made to his bureau
by inspectors sent to Mexico and Canada
to study the situation with special ref
erence to the coming of Japanese to
America through those countries. The
reports show that thousands of japanese
landed in Mexico during the past year,
and ultimately gained admission, surrep-
titiously, into this country. Once in the
United States, it was impossible to locate
them except in the rarest instances.
While the regulations concerning Japan
ese immigration have tended to reduce
the number of regularly admitted imml-
grants, hundreds If not thousands of the
Japanese are still coming into the coun-
try by stealth.

BUYS DRTsCOLL GROUP

One of the heaviest of the recent
transactions in Wonder district was
the purchase during the week of the
Driscoll group of five claims by ]. A.
Donovan. The consideration is said
to have been $4,000, this price hav-
ing been paid because the ground ad-
joins the property of the Nevada
Golden Wonder company, upon
which a rich free-gold strike has
been made within two weeks.
In addition to this purchase, Mr..
Donovan took an option while in
Wonder on six promising claims
lying a short distance to the north
of the Spider-Wasp and owned by
Clarence Barnum. Nobody has re-
Gently been more active in Wonder
properties than Mr.. Donovan. Be
sides the deals mentioned above, he
played a leading part in the nego-
tiations which resulted in the trans
fer of the Gold Rock group of ten
claims, adjoining the Christmas Won
der on the south, and the Owl group,
adjoining the Spider-Wasp. These
properties were taken over by Will
lam Keith, Walter O'Brien, D. P.
Sullivan and others of Goldfeld and
Tonopah, and big prices were paid
for them. Mr.. Donovan represents
Boston as well as Nevada capitalists.
He was one of the pioneers In Tono-
pah and located the townsite of Gold
Center, which he and his Tonopah as
sociates, George Thatcher and Con-
gresham George Bartlett, sold for a

a well-defned ledge of very promis-
ing rock led to an extensive investi-
cation of the company. Several men
were put to work, with the crafty
ing result of opening one of the CEN
trail veins on the Valley View claim,
groupings from which the most en-
couraging assays were secured.
In speaking of the matter, Mr..
Burris said: we are very much
excited and pleased at the opening.
Assays were recently taken and dis
closed 1921 and 1892 respectively.
We will put on all men possible i'm

II. L. Davenport, who is one of
the pioneers of the Baxter Springs
district, having erected the second
tent in that camp, called at the office
of the Daily Bonanza last evening
and displayed several specimens of
ore containing spots of free gold. He
has located three claims, forming the
extension of the ledge of the Baxter
Company in which a rich strike re-

with development his ground will
be found as good as any other in the
camp. He says the ledge is fully 100
feet wide and, even at the surface,
contains much valuable ore.

Miners WANTED
AT WONDER CAMP
CAMP GROWING so RAPIDLY
CANNOT SECURE ENOUGH
MEN.

WONDER, New, April Pc. j..
Horrigan, secretary of the Miners
union, stated today that 722 miners
in good standing are working in
Wonder, not counting the men that
are employed around Victor, which
is the townsite plated in the vicinity
of the Spider and Wasp, where up
ward of 400 additional miners are
employed. This makes the number
Of men now engaged in opening up
the ore bodies of this camp between
LOO and 1900. MI. Horrigan
stated that mine-owners were con-
tinually making application to him
for more men, and that there are
jobs waiting for at least 800 addi-
tional miners as soon as they can be
obtained.
This breaks the record of all min
ing camps in Nevada for the first
year of existence. Neither Tonopah,
Goldfeld, Manhattan, Bullfrog nor
Fairview had as many miners en-
ployed at the end Of their first year,
ard, as a matter of fact, Bullfrog in
ito entire history has never had with
in 200 of the number of miners al
ready employed in Wonder. This is
no reflection on Bullfrog, which is
prospecting at this time. 1t simply
gives an idea of the extent of the dis
~coveries of high-grade silver ore that
have been made here.
The properties now in shipping
orc are: Nevada Wonder, Jack Pot,
Ruby (Billy the KIDD, Hercules, Col
den Wonder, Rich Gulch, Colorados,
View Wonder, Jumbos, Spider and
Wasp, Dickey ", Vulture and Christ
mas. There are in the neighborhood
of 5000 sacks of ore piled on the
dumps of these properties, and the
estimated averages of all of this is
above 5000 per ton.
The miners have signed an agree.
ment not to strike in sympathy with
miners of any other camp, and the
wage scale has been fixed at So pei
day, the same as in Goldfeld. The
