OLO DISTRICT IS BEING REVIVED

American Capital Is Quietly Working Wonders in An Cient Mines of PaChuCa, HidaIgo, Mexico,

The United States Mining. Smelling and Refining company is doing a great work in the old Real del Monte group of mines. in the historic mining district of Pachuca, capital city of the state of Hidalgo; and it is doing this work and making heavy investments in a very quiet and unosteutatiOus way says the Cananea Herald.
 The mines of Pachuca and those of Tasco are considered the oldest in Mex. ico, some of them having been worked by. the AZtecs at the time of the ar, rival of the SDaniards, who com
 nrenced to exploit them in 1923. and they have been constantly worked GnG yielded silver during 33S years. It was in Pachnca that the process Ci amagamation called the patio pro- cess. for the reduction of silver ores was. discovered by Bartolome Medina
 a monk in 1857. The hacienda. of re duction works where this discoy CIV
 was made, are still to be seen in tho city of Pachuca. And although mil 1 lions of silver pesos have been taken | from the Pachuca mines. the hills show clearly that the veins have been | only scratched. and still contain thou sands of millions awaiting extraction Very many years bago, the Real de | Monte Mining company was torlnsC to work a group of mines within cer l tain limits known as Real del Monte | IL was a purely Mexican OrgdnidtOn l and large amounts of silver wCTe CS ] tracted. contributing the greajCr par ! of the weekly output of S50O,0O0 Of th' 1 Pachuca district for many years. l

suRERIoR 6 RlTTsRuRe.

The Cole shaft of the Superior < PiUtsburg Company is now producing about 400 tons of ore daily, the in' crease at this shaft being proportion ately the largest of any of the com pany's mines.
 At the Huatson the work of de veloping the ore body found on the HOO level is being pushed rapidly forward. and it is very probable that stoping will be commenced on this eIvel about September 1. Judging from the work so far prosecuted on this ore body, it is believed that the deposit is an extensive one.
 At the Junction shaft the regular daily shipments are being made to inc reduction works at Douglas, and the work of developing on the vari uus levels is progressing rapidly.

The shaft has reached a depth of 900 feet. and when the l2OO mark is attained the work of cutting a station will be commenced at once. As soon as completed a drift will be driven directly under these on the 1000 and HOO to determine the depth of the ore body.

LAKE COPPER.

The explorations on the Baltic lode at the Lake property continue to re- veal a gratifying condition of affairs, says the Ontonagon Herald. The lode has been uncovered for a dis tance of more than 50 feet. It is mineralized the entire distance and amazingly rich. While only a little blasting has been done, enough cop per has been taken out to nearly pay the cost of trenching. Several mass es of 100 pounds or more have been found; there are numerous smaller chunks and there appears to be any quantity of rock which will make cop per very. fast when put through a stamp mill.
 Captain Richard Warne. who has charge of the work, says that the sur face showing is the finest he has ever seen in the Lake Superior district and this, coupled with the condition of the driIl cores. taken from a depth of 500 or TOO feet, indicates that the Lake has a bonanza-more pronounced, perhaps, than even it's most sangnine believers anticipate.
 Another newspaper representative has visited the scene of the Baltic ex- 'pIoration and says:
 'sThe point of attack is about a mile south of the Knowlton shaft and only few rods to the south of the Mineral

UTAH COPPER

The Utah Copper company, says the Bingham Bulletin. is now working upon its third year. In this period a magnificent tonnage of copper ore has been placed in sight. In all a total of approximately IT miles of openings have been accomplished an about one fifth of the total area of the property or about one-fourth of the total DOT phyry area.
 Fully 40 acres of ore-bearing ground have been opened. The company has blocked out 4O,O0O, 900 tons of ore that contains 40 pounds of copper to the ton and 6O,O0O,00 pounds of ore that averages slightly lower in grade.

 President Joseph Gay says: -Oper- ations at the mine have been satis- factory. A slight decrease in produc- .tion was caused by impaired traRspor- tation service due to the severity of the wiuter and in working out some of the poorer positions of the mine which could be done to advantage during the prevailing value of copper.

HOPE TO REGAIN PALESTINE.
Zionists' Project Now Being Con
sidered by Turkish Authorities,

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE FEEDER
alton of American Zionists received yes
terday a report of successful negotiations
by Herr Wollfsohn of Cologne leader of
the Zionist movement, with Turkish OIL
Gals in Constantinople. looking to the
restoration of the Jewish people in Pales-
tine
Herr Wollfsohn and Dr. Katzenellson Of
Libau spent several weeks in CONSTANT
nople and on returning to Cologne report
ed the result to the central executive
committee. of which Herr Wollfsohn Is
president That committee notified the
American Zionists that the presidents
negotiations have brought him in direct
and active communication with agents of
Turkish authority. The committee was
informed that there is a desire in higher
Turkish circles to take up the Zionists'
plans much more thoroughly and willingly
than before -
Negotiations, the committee reported,
have reached the point in which posi-
definite shape from the point of view Of
practical politics The president trusts
and is of the opinion that representations
which, since his earlier visit to CONSTANT
nople in March of this year. have been
under constant consideration, will. by
reason of the attitude favorable to our
general principles, furnish the basis for
the achievement of desirable results, and
he is CONVINCED that the negotiations are
likely to bring about real results of such
a nature as to enlist the support of the
widest circles of our people and of repre-
sentative Jewish organizations. The CEN
trail executive committee welcomed the
endeavors of the president and resolved to
continue the work along these lines with

GUAM AND TUTUILA.
Secretary Metcalf Urges That Civil
Government Be Established.

In communication to the President,
Secretary Metcalf points out the growing
ne cessity for correcting the present anon
a1ous political status of Guam and Tu-
tuila, Samoa, and recommends that Con-
gress enact legislation establishing form
Of government for both islands. 1T is
true says he, that law and order have
been maintained in these islands under
naval administration, as dire cted by the
chief executive, since their acquisition by
the United States. 1t is also true that
something has been done for the better
ment Of the islands. and that some prog
ress has been made by extending to them,
in a measure. certain features of our sys-
tenn of government. The machineries Of
the courts and of the local authorities
have been maintained, good work has been
done in establishing schools, building
roads and in ameliorating insanitary con-
ditions, and for these purposes meager
revenues have been raised in such ways
as have been found practicable to meet i'm
mediate and urgent necessities. But all
that should have been done under legis-
lative sanction. The pedpl of the United
States. having assumed control of these
islands, owe it to them to make appro-
pirate provision for their government. 1t
is earnestly recommended that the Con-
gress give consideration to this matter
at the present session"

NEEDS
CHEAPER GAS AND INCREASED
SCHOOL FACILITIES.

Cheaper gas in the District was the
principal subject discussed last night at
a meeting of the Petworth Citizens AS
ISOLATION held at the residence of the sec
rotary, D. ]. Particle, ALA Sth street
northwest. Mr.. John MacVicar was the
first speaker. He told of the fight to have
the price of gas reduced. and said that
it was argued by many that the control
of the gas, water, ETC., should be In the
hands of corporations. He believed. how
ever, that municipalities should furnish
gas and water for a city. He explained
that it costs a great deal less to produce
gas now than it did fifteen years ago,
but the bills are generally higher. THE
companies have several schemes whereby
the gas bill is raised-that Is, in using wa
ter gas mixing considerable quantity
of air with the gas and the use OF ex-
IRENE PRESSURE which forces the gas out
of the burners faster than it can be con-
sumed.'
Mr.. MacVicar read from a pamphlet
the result of the fight for the reduction of
gas in New York, whereby the price is
now SO cents, and spoke of the result of
taking the gas question to the courts"
Mr.. E. w. Oyster stated he had found
no complaint with his gas bills the past
five years. He said that some months the
bill was higher than it was In others, but
because the state of the meter was not
taken regularly.
The secretary made a motion that a
committee of three be appointed to adopt
resolutions urging cheaper gas, and that
copy of the same be sent to the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia
and to the District committees in Con-
gress. This committee was appointed and
is composed of J. 1. Painter, H. s. Selden
and D. J. Particle.
Mr.. Oyster spoke of the poor car serv-
ice on the Brightwood line. He brought
up the school question in the District and
said: 1.-The schools are topheavy with
fads and have not enough room for the
children 1t was stated that the board
of education had secured house for
school purposes on Shepherd street. but
that it has not been occupied resolu-
ton was passed inStructing the secretary
to communicate with the board of educa-
ton, asking, if the building is ready for
The secretary stated he had written to
the District Commissioners asking that
Rock Creek road be repaired. and also
thanking them for the improvements
made in that section.
In reference to the delay in the delivery
of express packages in Petworth the sec
rotary stated he had received word from
Mr.. ]. M. Huff of the Adams Express
Company and Mr.. w. c. Johnson of the
United States Express Company that no
relief can be afforded at the present time.
In reference. to the delivery of kilograms
by the Postal and Western Union COM
panes he stated he had not heard from
either company.
Following the business meeting a buff
fet luncheon was served In the dining
room.
