What Leaders Say About Rockefeller Case

II have not fully examined the
precedents. but I doubt that Rookie
feller can be guilty of contempt mere
ly through evasion of service. Con-
tempt would more likely consist In
refusal to appear, after being sub
poenaed. d."-Congressman Underwood.
Speaker Champ Clark issues 100 ad-
ditional subpoenas for William Rookie
feller. and additional deputies take up
trail
House leaders disagree as to whether
Rockefeller is already in contempt,
through hide-and-seek tactics, or
whether he can be in contempt until
after he is served.

Nevada'S Immense
Quicksilver Mines

Al Wardle has returned from lone,

for the purpose of looking at the
plant in process OF completion de-
signed to be the most advanced
quicksilver reducing works in the
United States. Mr.. Wardle was very
much impressed by what he saw and
he anticipates that in the not far
distant future there will be a dupll-
cation Of this plant at Cinnabar City,
near Nina.
"The Nevada Cinnabar company
has a fifty ton furnace, not a retort,
in operation at lone" says Mr.. War
die. "At present it has over one
years ore supply blocked out that
will run from one to one and a halt
per cent in quicksilver. Five con-
densers as well as furnaces. are
ployed to precipitate the fumes by
heat and air, and Mr.. Scott, the in
ventor, says the furnace is the best
and latest installed. The plant will
be running to capacity by the first OF
the wear, and it will take that time
to dry out the lining after a drier IS
put in. Over 100000 bricks were
used in the construction n these
