Though the Mexican crisis was un-
der suppression in Congress for sew
eral days while the President and his
cabinet executed plans of reprisals
against the defiance of General Huer-
ta, there is an impelling undercurrent
of feeling in both Senate and House

tempered somewhat by the acceptance
of offers of mediation from Argentina,
Brazil and Chile.
Representative Kindel said he had
been misunderstood in regard to a

INTERIOR MINING news

The plant that is being installed
this season is under the supervision
of Alfred H., Bryant, a former New
Englander, who came to, Alaska in
1898 and has installed various
hydraulic plants in the Kenai PENN
isula. The government engineers
who made a reconnaissance of VAL
dez creek in 1910 and who were
again on the ground in 1913, Mr..
Forbes Richard who examined the
properties of the Valdez Creek
Placer Mines in 1911, and Mr..
Bryant, unite in declaring that the
natural advantages for hydraulic
operations on Valdez Creek excel
those of any proposition they ever
have visited.
Mr.. Richard estimated the gold
content of the gravels in the old
channel at 94c pei, cubic yard. There.
was some small pipe that had been
taken in by one of the companies
absorbed by the Valdez Creek Placer
Mines and a short "a hours run was
made with some hastily improvised
sluice boxes as a test of the values
to be recovered by actual hydraulic
operations. With this small pipe,
about 1000 yards were washed
through the boxes of an average lot
of gravel above the old workings
where the bedrock gravels had been
entirely washed out to height of 6
feet, the recovery amounting to
about $4,000, thus entirely justify
ing Mr.. Richards estimate. The
season for hydraulicking on Valdez
Creek is about $50 days. The big
hydraulic plant is expected to be in
operation for one-third of the season
of 1914 and the owners expect big
things from the first full season,
which will be that of 1915.
