HART MAINTAINS
STEADY GROWTH

Despite the booms that are rising
and failing in various localities on
the Pacific coast, Hart, the new min
ing town In San Bernardino county,
Cal, is maintaining consistent and
conservative rate of development.
From a camp of five men and three
tents on January 5 of this year, it
has grown to a town OF 1000 inhabi-
tants and more than $50 tent houses
and permanent structures.
Beginning with the strike made or
January 5 by James H. Hart, Belt
Hit and Clark Hit, when they I'M
covered ore that assayed $500 per
ton on what is now known as the
Orc Belle No. /, the district has with
in 100 days risen to the dignity OF
fifty working claims and an area OF
known value two miles wide and
three miles long, which so far as
prospects and development have
shown, will prove one of the most
valuable mineral deposits in the west
The municipal government of the
town is in the hands of men whose
interests are in the ultimately com.
plete development of the district, not
temporary pulling of local real es'
tate and stocks. In fact few of the
properties are incorporated.
Probably the most valuable criter'
len of the value of mining properties
in the district, lies in the authoritat
i've reports of the assayers. who
since January have done the assay
ing for the camp.
Three firms Ross Woodward &
Co., Andrews & Marsh and Brown
Stone-have done practically all o
the assay work in the camp. Thes'
men have regulations and experienc,
in their profession. and the reports o
the values found by them in the sam
pies of ore submitted to them TO
assay. give legitimate idea of tn
values of the ore in the, Hart distric'
Between January 81 and March II
these firms made 373 different assay
of ore from Hart claims. The aver
age value per ton, obtained there
from. is $S9.s4. or an amount equa
to the average of any mining cam
on the Pacific coast, when the ag
of the camp and the amount of dc
yelopment work done, is taken int
consideration.
There were probably 100 sample
of ore sent outside the camp for a!
say. but as they were selected OF
their addition to the total would onl
raise the average already quoted.
1t also true, that of the assays mad
in the camp, many were of pure
experimental nature, and not mad
with the expectation of obtaining ar
resultant values.
With this showing after less tina
three months of prospecting and d
lvelopment work, Hart can afford

VENEZUELA MAY
feel Big STICK

WASHINGTON, d. c., April a.
Some of the members of the senate
committee on foreign relations have
decided to recommend that the COM
mittee, in view of Venezuela's re-
fusal to arbitrate pending American
claims, report to the senate resOlu-
tions providing for retaliation either
by prohibitive tariff on coffee, the
exclusion of Venezuelan asphalt or
authorization to the president to deal
with Venezuela as he desires. The
committee will meet tomorrow.
The president today sent to the
senate the Venezuelan correspond
ence called for by the Lodge resolu-
ton. This correspondence covers the
history OF the FIVE American claims
which this government has so far
in vain sought to have President Cas-
tro agree to arbitrate. They are the
Jaurell claim, the Orinoco corpora
ton claim, the Orinoco Steamship
company claim, the United States and
Venezuela company commonly
known as the Critchfield) claim, and
the Norfolk and Bermudas Asphalt
company claim.
Strong language is used by the So
licitor of the state department in
urging a vigorous prosecution of all
these claims, and he holds that the
time has come for language strong
er than that employed in request
"And II the demand be me-
with procrastination or refusal, tn,
i dignity of this government would
seem to require prompt and vigor
GUS action"
