An event OF extreme gravity, and
without precedent in the history OF
Turkey, has occurred at Jaffa. En-
couraged by the hostile attitude of the
Kaimakam of the. town towards the
Jews. attacks upon them by Arab ruff

Europeans and those of the better

kaimakam. There has always been
hitherto good feeling between the
Arabs and the Jews, and there can be
no doubt but that the sad occurrence
is the work of the Kaimakam, who
provoked the affair in order after
wards to explain it as rebellious out
break on the part of the Jews. 1t is
hoped that the central government at
Constantinople which has always been
friendly to our people, will deal
promptly and severely with the Of

Ben HUR HAS SHIPPING ORE.
Eighteen Inches of Calena Opened in
Saltese Property.

Eighteen inches of shipping galena
ore has been encountered on the
property of the Ben Hur Mining COM
pany, near Saltese, and lying adja-
cent to the old Last Chance mine
from which considerable ore has been
shipped in past years.
William Calder, employed at the
Tarbox mine, brought the news to
Manager Richard Daxon.
There are Is inches of ore car
rying galena, crystallized lead, car
Donates and bromide and chloride of
silver, exposed in the face of the
drift" said Mr.. Calder,
1t is claimed that the ore seen is
the top of an ore shoot of good di-
mensions. The face of the tunnel is
at depth of about 100 feet. This is
the main working tunnel and was
driven as a crosscut to the ledge and
a diagonal crosscut of the ledge and
recently started as drift. The face
is 800 feet from the portal.
The vein of ore has been followed
about Is feet since 1t was struck, the
ground being easy to work. The
company may drive lower tunnel
to get the ore body at 400 feet more
depth.

Hercules Owners Agree to Set
, Element of Differences.
WORK THROUGH NO. 3 TUNNEL
The Management of the Hercules Mine
Will Have Charge of Operations.
Good Ore Body Exposed.

The litigation which has been so
lohg pending between the Hercules
owners and the Ambergris Mining
company has been finally settled.
The Hercules owners in considera-
ton of a stock payment have agreed
to give deed to the Ambergris COM
pany for all of the ground conflict
ing with the Ambergris claims. An
agreement to this effect has been en-
tered into and the Hercules company
agrees to continue it's No. 3 tunnel
so as to connect with the shaft of
the Ambergris company by driving
it to point beneath the present
shaft of the Ambergris company and
then raising. In this way the full
value of the Ambergris property can
be exploited through the workings
Of the Hercules mine.
The Hercules company will have
charge of the management and min
ing of the Ambergris properties and
as soon as the work contracted for
under the agreement has been COM
pleted shipments of ore from the
Ambergris mine will be commenced.
In addition to the continuation of
the No. 3 tunnel referred to the
agreement between the two COM
panies stipulates that the Hercules
company will build the necessary
tramways and ore bins and will also
provide facilities for the transporta-
ton of ore to the railroad
Between SO and 60 feet OF first
class shipping ore has already been
opened up in the Ambergris proper
ty, the ledge varying from two to
six feet in width. The new tunnel
will give depth Of about 600 feet
on the ore and the total work to be
done by the Hercules company will
be in the neighborhood of 1000 feet.
Work has already started on the
projection of the Hercules No. tun-
mel and has been in progress for
about one week.

quantities.
The crOsscut tunnel Is now in
about $50 feet. A depth of several
hundred feet has been attained. The
lead was broken into several days
ago and the men have been working
in ledge matter. Manager w. b.

in crystalized form.
