GERMANY MAKES A
DEMAND ON MEXICO

Mexico City, Mexico, June 26.-Re-
cause a group of revolutionists en-
trusted with the work of maintaining
order at Vega de Metzitlan in the state
of Hidalgo forced Franz Reitter, Ger
man civil engineer to remove his shoes
and then barefooted wait upon them
like an ordinary servant, the German
minister, admiral Paul Won Hintze, has
demanded reparation from the Mexican
government
He has also demanded indemnity for
losses incurred by the company for
which Reitter was working. The gov
eminent has ordered an investigation.
Reitter was engaged on an irriga-
ton project in Hidalgo, according to
his story. He admits asking the little
band of Maderistas TO retire, believing
that their presence would result in dis
orders. His suggestion was not we'll
received and he alleges he was then
subjected to numerous indignities
which eliminated in an effort to shoot
him.
That he was not killed he ascribes to
poor craftsmanship. Another man was
killed by the volley fired at him, he
says. The warehouse of the company is
said to have been sacked and burned.

RICH GARNET MINE IS DISCOVERED
IN THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY

New York, N Y, June ga garnet
mine has been discovered in the heart
of New York City.
Excavators, in blasting away the
rock for the foundations OF the Nc
Alpine hotel. at Broadway between
Thirty third and Thirty fourth streets,
unearthed a large vein of crys-
tai. which glittered so brilliantly that
a specimen was Immediately taken to
Tifany's for analysis
DR.. George F. Kunz, the expert min
eralogist of that grin, announced that
the stone was 'almandine garnet
Although these crystals are not
transparent enough to be used for jew
cry said DR.. Kunz in his apartments
IN the Hendrix Hudson, they are Of
especial scientific value. This discov-
cry has established the fact that thel e
is large stratum of garnet running
through the center of Manhattan in
the vicinity Of Thirty-fourth street.
when the ground for the Herald
Square theater was being excavated a
perfect specimen Of this kind oe gar
net was unearthed, which weighed
nine and half pounds. The specimen
Is now on exhibition in the American
Museum Of Natural History
II. J. Morris, of the Degnon Con-
struction company, who is in charge
of the excavation work, was so i'm
pressed by the analysis of the Tiffany
expert that he established a special
day and night watch for the Jewel
mine" as the workmen have already
termed it. Mr.. Morris believes that
further excavation may lead 70 the
discovery Of stone which will prove of
still greater value.
Whatever may be the wealth uncov-
cred by the steam drills of the Nc
Alpine Hotel contractors, mfneralo-
gists and historians agree that the
garnet is enc of the Oldest stones
known to mankind. According to the
Talmud the only light that Noah had
In his Ark was furnished by garnets.
Babylon used the crystals for its hang
ing gardens. Garnets adorned the
lamps Of Cleopatra when she sought a
light that would render her still more
attractive to Anthony
