operators whether owners or lessees,
the conditions are healthy at every
camp. In speaking of his interests, the
Grubstake mine, in which John Conner
is associated, he says, from several
tons sent to the smelter and taken
from the surface, a net value in gold
of 5000 ton was received. This heavy
return has stimulated them to deep
work. and they have under way a
double compartment shaft 10 more eX-

this work progresses they will also

to start their mill soon on the ore COM

The North Capitol, under lease to
N. j. Griffin, is also highly rated, and
it's output is heavy in the yellow metal.

AVIATION COMMITTEE IS
CHARGED WITH BAD FAITH
Pasadena Men Assert Los An
geIes Meet Managers
Broke Their Word

PASADENA, Dec. 30.-Charges of bad faith
on the part of the Los Angeles aviation COM
mittee were freely made in Pasadena last
evening when word reached this city that
the meet which announced to omit Jan
uary g New Years day, would include flights
on that occasion. Pasadena leaders state that
Los Angeles only got the Aero Club of Amer
lea sanction because Pasadena surrendered its
right in favor Of the larger city, the local
aero club having the only official sanction
for January, and it Is stated that the aviation
committee was allowed to get this sanction
with the distinct understanding that there
should be no flights On New Years day.
What Pasadena will do about the matter
is largely a question, but it is probable that
the city will try and get at least Arch
Hoxsey, who is a Pasadena man, to fly at
Tournament park on New Years afternoon,
thus retaliating by taking from the aviation
meet the best manbird it has Hoxsey and
Brookins have both stated during their stay
in Pasadena that they would like to fly here.
All the officials Of the Tournament of Roses
association and many of the civic leaders are
working hard to see If they cannot get the
matter Strengthened out and one suggestion
made is that the aviatOrs try a flight from
Los Angeles to Tournament park, land here,
and then fly back 20 Dominguez. 1t is argued
that such a flight would help the Tourna-
ment and would b. a courtesy which might
patch up the differences now existing.
