Decision of Land Office Is

 gently appealed from the general land office to the interior department. the ! judgment of the commissioner has been affirmed. The record or the case is as follows:

 November 27. 1908. William II. Mer- Ger, on behalf of himself NJ. A Mer- cer and The Radium Mines Company, filed protest against the entry, charging in substance and effect. that it conflicts, in part. with certain min ing locations made by The Radium Mines Company. and its predecessors ir interest, and by M. A. Mercer and her predecessors in interest. and that the area so in conflict is more valu- able for mining than for agricultural purposes.
 Hearing was ordered on this pro- test and was had October G. 1909. as a result of which the local officers found the land in question to be chiefly valuable for mining purposes. and recommended that the entry he canceled. to the extent of its con- flict with the alleged mining claims named in the protest

Ali Efforts to Work the Old
Mine Are Baffled by the
Black Pest.

One of the richest silver mines on
the continent remains unworked for
the apparently absurd reason that it
is guarded by q colony Of bats. How
formidable this obstacle really is, how
ever. has been frequently demonstrated
at the expense of venturesome ex-
plorers who have at one time or an
other made an effort to enter the
shaft
The mine is situated in western
Mexico. in the state OF Sina1oa- Tt is
known as the Siviri5oa mine and is
more than two centuries old In the
early part OF the 18th century it was
worked at great profit Over si25,-
coo, GOO worth Of ore was obtained in a
comparatively short period, and the
property was finally abandoned only
because OF flow Of water which was
encountered and which the inexperi-
enced mine workers of that period
were unable TO overcome
There can be little doubt that there
are still millions of dollars worth OF
precious ore to be obtained from this
old mine, but so far the bats that in
fest ii have made all investigation out
of the question There are millions
of these bats in the mine. Every
night, shortly after dark. they begin
TO emerge from the shaft in one long.
dense column It takes fully five
hours for the host to make its way
out in this fashion. While they are
rising they present the appearance OF
a column OF black smoke, and they
are visible for miles around.
Individually, Of course these bats

MILLIONS OF BATS IN POSSESSION
Of RICH SILVER MINE IN MEXICO

are entirely harmless. The danger
lies in their vast numbers. Intrepid
explorers who have ventured into the
mouth Of the mine have been almost
suffocated by the swarms of loath-
some creatures which fell upon them.
To enter the mine in the daytime,
when the bats are in possession, is
suicidal To attempt II at night after
the bats have temporarily left is to
invite other dangers due to unfamil
iarity with the layout of the ancient
shaft. But IN any event there is very
little opportunity tc explore at night,
for it is after II O'Clock before the
bats are all out. and long before day
light they begin to return in great
numbers.
Some years ago a party of American
Engineers who had heard Of the mine.
endeavored to investigate it during
the daytime, and barely escaped with
their lives. Myriads of the bats dis
turbed in their day sleep by the in
truders, fell upon them in such num-
bers that they were all but suffocated.
BY crawling on hands and feet they
eventually made their escape. The
expedient usually adopted in cleaning
out bat infested places is to smoke
them out Whether this plan would
work successfully under the condi-
lions existing in this mine is prob
lematical, but there is a great fortune
waiting for someone who can rid the
ancient mine of its strange bodyguard.

MAKE RICH STRIKE
TN ELKHORN MIN e
Dynamite Blast Uncovers
Ore of Great Value in
Old Mine.

What is said to be one of the richest
strikes of ore made In the Boundary
district Arizona, has been made in the
Elkhorn mine, one mile north of Green
wood, near the famous Providence mine.
The strike made was an 1S inch ledge
of ore which will return values Of s1Ou
to the ton. Samples taken from the
property will assay all the Way up 20
5000, being impregnated with free gold
and native silver.
The ElkhoTn mine was operated in
the years 1903 to 1907, during which
about 900 tons of ore were shipped
which returned values Of about $40 to
the ton. About two weeks ago the
property was sold at tax sale 20 a
syndicate composed of James McCreath,
A S. Black. j. L. WhIts, J. K1nny and
others of Greenwood. They put d man
to cleaning up on the property, and one
blast of dynamite in the face Of the
tunnel uncovered ore of brilliancy. free
gold on one side and native silver On
the other. a strike of good value was
also made last week at the argo tUn-
mel at Greenwood. Also while a num-
Der of men were making a wIgon road
across the property a lead of about ,
inches in thickness was encountered

Polite Japanese Police.

The Japanese police, one of whose
chiefs has been studying English meth
DDS at Scotland Yard with view OF
improvement in his own force, was
originally the most ar1stocratic body
of the kind In the world, says the
London Chronicle. It's establishment
was almost coincident with the en-
peror's decree forbidding the wear
Ing Of swords. BY stroke Of the
imperial pen the Samurai were de.
prived of cherished weapons, by which
the gentlemen of Japan had been &C.
customed from fmmemorial times to
advertise their rank. So they went
into the police, where it was still
possible to carry a sword, and very
formidable weapon it was, being Of
the two-handed variety. Perhaps the
police 20 years ago were rather too
fond of chopping prisoner in half in
stead of arresting him, but they were
very expert, and there was seldom
any evidence to contradict their own
version Of the incident. To people Of
their own rank and to foreigners they
are police in a degree, which would
have seemed ludicrous anywhere ex-
cept in the land Of honorifics.
