DINC.LEY RATE
ON WOOL WASTE

Washington, d. G.. June 9.-By an
aye and no vote of 40 to 80, the SEN
ate today adopted the finance commit
tee amendment restoring the Dingley
rate of 80 cents pound on wool tops
waste and other wastes. The House
rate is 20 cents. The progressive Re-
publicans generally voted with the
Democrats against the increase.
Senator Warren of Wyoming,
spoke on the tariff on wool. There
never was a time," said he, when
wool growers have been prosperous
unless the woolen manufacturers
were prosperous. 1t has been said
here with sneer that the woolen
manufacturers and growers have an
agreement. ask in all seriousness
whether this is not proper thing to
do or whether they should have each
other by the throat"
Senator Dolliver referred to the
rag trust and Warren said he suspect
ed it was organized largely on the
plan of the wool sellers as he had
heard nothing of it until the Senator
from Iowa mentioned it.

Strike

NEWS CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Considerable excitement was stirred
up in Santa Fe this morning when a
native, who is a resident of Nambe
Falls came into town with the news
that a rich gold and copper strike had
been made in the canon near Nambe
Falls. According to the mans story
the fact that places in the neighbor
hood of Nambe are rich in deposits OF
gold and copper have been known for
some time to few residents in Santa
Fe, but has been kept quiet. It IS
said that the native who first made
the discovery had intended saying
nothing about the matter and was
waiting an opportunity to secure
enough capital to start mine and
work it. However becoming pressed
for necessary supplies he came into
Santa Fe and for mere bagatelle
disposed of his claim.
Those said to be interested in the
property are l. Sparks, Samuel Cart
wright and H. B. Cartwright of Santa
Fe and A. d. Catanach of Nambe.
1t is understood also that these men
intend investing large amount of
capital to develop the discovery, be-
lieving that there is an almost endless
amount of valuable ore in and around
Nambe Falls.
Now, however, that the secret of
the strike has leaked out many other
people of Santa Fe are planning to go
at once to Nambe and stake claims. In
one section of town this morning it
seemed as though the gold fever had
struck good and hard as the sole topic
of conversation was regarding the re-
ported strike and the possibilities Of
fered those who staked claims. The
conversation also brought out the
news that word of the strike has
reached Colorado and that many Colo
RADIO miners intend going to Nambe
for the purpose of exploitation.

History Of Saint MichaeI's College.
The following interesting historical
sketch of the College has been pre-
pared:
Seeing the great need of schools to
instruct children in the Christian doc
trine as well as to impart instruction,
the Rt. Rev. John B. Lamy, D. D., re-
solved to begin the good work. Hav'
ing no money he had to adopt the
most economical plan to purchase
ground and buildings for the College
and parochial school in Santa Fe.
There was in San Francisco street,
Santa Fe, an old church closed to pub
lie worship ever since 1916, owing to
the fact that it had been used Tor
soldiers under the Spanish and Mexi-
can governments. The bishop obtain.
ed permission from Pope Plus TX. to
sell it. From the proceeds of this
sale, he was enabled to purchase
