 Disorder. Fiery speaker Against zeiaya Is Received with wild Enthnsiasm. American Marines Are Be-
 inE Hurried to Gen.
 tral America.

Washington, Dec. 15.--Secretary Knox today requested the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Affairs to postpone the suggested Investigation of the Ni- caraguan situation for week or more until events now transpiring shall en- able him to give the committee clear understanding of Central Ameri- can affairs. The request was grant ed.
 Because of Secretary Knox's request the committee also postponed action on Senator Rayner's resolution con corning the execution of Cannon and Groce.
 The opinion was expressed that Senor Enrique creel should be receiv- ed by this government as the ambass- ador of President Diaz. to present any views Mexico may have In regard to the future of Nicaragua, or other Gen. traI American states. but that he could not be received in the capacity of a mediator between Nicaragua and the United States to consider difficult ties arising over interference with Americans or American interests.
 Several members of the committee said that senor creei is too able a diplomatist to attempt to serve as mediator in such disputes.
 Many Senators believe that Mexico may urge the United States 70 cohsid- CT a plan for the confederation Of all the Central American republics. Mein- bers Of the Foreign Relations Commit. tee believe that this Government would favor such Q confederation If leading men of the Eve Central Ameri- can States can be brought to realize the importance and the advantage to them resulting from 1t.
 It is believed by these Senators, however, that a lasting confederation is not possible unless it is made w!tE the support of the wisest ard strongst men of those countrie.

news OF KNIERIM

George Knierim, who is mining in the
hills to the northeast of town, brings in
word that the miners employed on his
property IN running the tunnel to inter
sect the main ledge have cut two-fdot
streak of ore at point las feet in from
the entrance Of the tunnel.
The cutting Of this streak, which Is
pay ore, is an agreeable surprise. as the
miners do not expect to run into the
main ledge for some time yet. From
assay returns from rock taken at differ
eit places on the ledge it is reasonably
certain that when the true ledge is cut
ore Of commercial value will be had.
A station will he cut out at that point
and drifts and crosscuts advanced. 1t is

CHECKING up
MASON VALLEY

II is reported here says the Salt Lake
Herald that Henry Crumb, the we'll
known mining engineer. who is promi-
nently identified with the Ray Con-
solidated and the Inspiration Copper
companies in a consulting capacity. has
been at work at the Mason Valley COM
paiy's mines for more than week past.
checking up on the reports and figures
complied by the company's own engi-
iieers.
What this means is matter that has
been calling forth considerable specu-
lative comment during the past two
or three days and particularly since the
bear story on the Mason Valley cora-
pany's purposes was printed in the Bos-
ton News Bureau last week. In some
quarters the impression prevails that
Mr.. Crumb is acting in the interests of
those who may be given the chance to
subscribe for the talked of 81, 200, 900
worth OF convertible bonds. Others
profess to believe that they see in the
above move possible deal for the con-
troll of the company and an effort on the
part of the supposed purchasing crowd
to batter down the price of the stock so
that weak holdings may be gathered in
and the average price affecting the con
troll thus reduced.
The directors OF the Mason Valley
company should he in session in New
York right now. and If they are not, il
will be onlv few days until they do
get together 1t was said that the ar
rival of George i. Gum from the In
spiration, where he went when leaving
here, is all that the directorate is now
waiting for.
While the price OF the stock has been
lowered to point well under 81 share
during the past day or two. the best
posted men in the company who reside
here declare that people will be foolish
to permit amy game OF bluff to deprive
them of their holdings As matter of
fact. such men are now pcking up the
cheap stock whenever they get chance
knowing full we'll that. no matter what
should happen in the way OF deal, or
even DELAY in the matter of building
smelter, could not possibly detract from
the value OF the mine, which now has
double the present selling price of the
stock in sight in its developed ore bodies.
Another thing that can be banked
upon is the fact that George Il. Gum,
general manager and chief stockholder
in the company, will never lend himself
to any scheme that contempistes the
robbery of the small shareholders in the
company. Should deal be made for
the control. or something else of equal
importance be pulled off at the meeting
now being held. there is no question
but what full publicity would be given
it. Local shareholders. say the posted
ones, should not lose their nerve and
sacrifice their holdings in Mason Valley.
