Otherwise Little Welshman
Would Have Succeeded
Asquith as Premier
BEDFORD ESTATE
OFFERED FOR SALE
Many Astonished at the Dukes Ac-
tion-More University HonOrs
for the Asquith
Family
By PAUL LAMBETH

London, September 6.-(Special. )-Who
will be prime minister when Asquith
retires? This question is being very
seriously considered by leaders of the
liberal party for tho report persists
that as soon as the home rule bill is
out of the way, which will be not
later than next June, the prime minis
ter win accept a high legal appoint
ment and retire from active politics.
These names are prominently men
toned in connection with the success
sion that of Sir Edward Grey, winston
Churchill and David Lloyd George Had
1t not been for the misfortunate Mar
conf scandal it is altogether probable
that the little Welsh attorney" would
have succeeded to the highest place
within the gift of the British people.
Even this may not keep him from it,
though it undoubtedly has weakened
his chances
Conservatives Favor Grey
The more conservative element of the
party is practically solid for Sir Edward
Grey. but he is looked on with suspicion
my the radical element which is by far
the strongest. Winston Churchill has
many elements of strength and his rec
ord as first lord of the admiralty has
greatly strengthened his position. If he
uIu iAioyo-beoTGe WOrk together one
OF them will probably be the choice of
the party. ydGeorge is the best
loved and most bitterly hated man in
public life here today. His radical
schemes for the uplift of humanity has
made him enemies OF the ranks of the
liberal party probably to an extent of
making his selection as leader inpos-
sible. If he recognizes this and throws
the weight of his influence to Churchill
Great Britain's next real ruler will be
half American.
The unfonists are having their own
troubles also as to leadership. Bonar
Law has been fiat failure as leader
and 1T is recognized that a change Is
necessary. Austin Chamberlain still
has his eve on the honor and may land
1t. Another aspirant is Lord Curzan
of Kedleston, but his aspirations are
not taken seriously. Curzan has abil-
ity but he has not the tact and faculty
of handling men, which are SO badly
needed in the leadership of the opposi-
tion just now.
1t is not improbable that Lord Rose
bury or Lord Landsdowne will be draft
ed, though neither of them are aspir-
ants.

Mrs John w. Mackay has not been
in London this summer on account of
her recent illness. Her house in Cart

lines of an italian palace and is most
magnificent. In every room there is

Mrs. Mackay wore when, with her late
husband. she attended the coronation of
the Emperor Alexander III of Russia.
Also she has a splendid fiat in Paris,
and, like most Americans, entertains in
both capitals. In appearance Mrs. Mac
kay Is small, with dark hair, deep blue
eyes, neat features and a face OF much
Intelligence. Her jewels are almost
priceless. She has a complete set OF
sapphires, with one stone the size of
pigeons egg; some of her pearls are
said to be worth $4,000 a row. and she
also has fine rubies, a string of Brazil
ian diamonds nearly two yards long,
and a pair of black pearl earrings
which are valued at 10000.

Labor Measure Passed
No bill yet Introduced in the house
has cuased so much discussion as
did Senator Tannahill's bill regulating
the hours of service OF women en-

passed by a vote of Is to 6 after
numerous addresses for and against
the measure had been heard. II
appears that many women employed
in different places of business
throughout the state had expressed a
| l-sire to have the bill defeated
claiming that if it became a law IT
would result in many of them being
| discharged and cause a general re
duction in the wages of women.
Senator Ascher made an unsuccess
full effort OF have the bill amended

The bill provides that women shall

Virginia Ia-L0uise
In Bonanza
Class

II anyone doubts for a minute that
the Virginia-LOuse mine is not one
OF the coming big bonanzas of the
Phoebe district, all that is necessary
TO dispel such, thoughts is to see
the property. There ore will be
found everywhere about the shaft
and. down on the 320-foot level
where the present exploratory work
is being conducted. the visitor win
stlll find nothing but ore.
Crcss-cuts have been run off in
every direction from the shaft and
everything about you is ore. In
fact, the workings on this level have
never been out OF ore and there is
no telling how long it win take to
get to the end of it and thus It will
be seen the extent of this vast de-
posle is matter not yet determin-
cd.
The shaft has gone down in this
great black mass for 1S0 feet, and
the cross-cuts show that the re-
source is at least $50 feet wide. The
beauty CT it is, it is all shipping
product and when the company gets
seady to market it's ores, it can do

identical in character to that develop

plans to continue development work
With good deal of vigor and among
the things planned is the installation
of large steam hoisting plant and
sinking CT the shaft to the 500-foot
level. While the company is not plan

away, it is not unlikely that the
inauguration Of auto truck service
in the near future will prompt the
company to begin shipping before

NEVADA DES MONIES
STRIKES MANGANESE

According to Frank Walker. SUPER
intenlent of the Nevada Des Moines
mine, considerable manganese ore
is beginning to come in the bottom of
the shaft, which goes to indicate that
it is nearing the high grade silver
lead ore body said to have been en-
countered by the diamond drillers at
400 feet from the surface.
Mr.. Walker states that since he
took hold of the property, and not
withstanidng the many delays exper-
fenced, about 60 feet has been gain
ed and figures that so or so more will
put the shaft squarely into the ore
body referred to.
During the week he encountered
another water course which has cor
respondingly increased his troubles IN
that direction and it is just possible
that it will be necessary to increase
the pumping facilities. The striking
of the new water course has increas-
ed the flow from 80 to about 100 gal-
Ions per minute.
