Another Rich Strike.

Advices from the R. R. k. mining camp, received yesterday from a gen. tleman who had returned from a visit, were to the effect that this week there has been made in that mine another rich strike of very valuable ore. The new strike is in new and virgin ground on the 400 foot level, and the entire extent of the rich rock encountered was not determined at the time of the visit of the informant, who was shown five feet of solid ore that runs from l7 per cent to "A per cent in copper, car rying beside rich returns In silver. Outside of that ore is large body Of rock of lower grade. Superintend- ent John D. Wansvig, who has made this new development, is elated over the new find, and he deserves great credit for the success attendant upon his exploration. Everybody in the camp and at Patagonia is elated at this discovery, for it demonstrates the depth and permanence of the ore bod ies encountered in that vicinity Mo- gales Oasis.

Stampedes to Zinc Finds.

For the past few days energetic near stampedes into new and little eX. plOred mining country have been in progress from almost every outtitting point in Motfat county. since it became known that the American Zinc com. pany had paid record option price of 60.OO0$ on twenty mineral claims along the rim rock of what is known as the Pats Hole" section, near the junction of the Green. Bear and Yam pa rivers.
 The group secured by the corpora ton is owned by Cary & McVain. It is claimed that the discovery runs for four miles, and shows the greatest de- posits of carbonate of zinc ever opened in Colorado. Assay samples brought to Denver contain from AS to 54 per cent zinc, or about on par with the ore mined at Leadville. The strike is 80 miles from a railroad, in one of the toughest parts of the Blue Mountain section.
 Early in the winter Floyd Shurry, 2 prospector from Leadville, found the croppings of the strike several thou sand feet above the hidden fifty acres where Pat Lynch, hermit, had taken up his abode forty years ago in the depth of Tampa canyon, and from whom the couotry takes it's name of Pats Hole." The strike was kept secret for months until assays could be made and claims filed.-Denver Mining Record.

Famine Faces in Sonora.

A Cananea, Sonora, dispatch says:- The spectre of starvation is gradually casting It's shadow over the State or Sonora. The time is not distant when from 10000 to 50,000 hungry Mexican men, women and children in the State will stretch forth their hands, appeal ing to the United States for sufficient food to keep body and soul together
 A few scattered ranches producing small amount of frijoles, corn and wheat. offer at this time the only re. lief to the famine-treated state.
 There are thousands of pesos of rebel money circulating in the State not worth the paper it is printed on. There are millions of pesos of script In circulation. the value of which ranges from ten to twenty cents on the dollar. Ninety per cent of the merchants of the state have closed thelr doors be- cause they are unable to carry the necessities of life on any of the various insurgent issues of the "shln-plastsrs. "
 Three and one half years of continu- ous revolution have brought the in. habitants to the realization that the past and the future are only vision of suffering and misery. The revolutions of today and yesterday have exacted their toll. The Mexican peon, and he numbers 90 per cent of the Sonora people, has paid his toll. Today there Is nothing to wiring from him.
 Ask the average Mexican in the State today what revolutionary faction he favors, he will reflect for moment on his own i'm poverished condition, his hungry family, shrug his shoulders and reply "Qulen Sabe?" He has sui fered the consequences of supporting one after another. in his simple way, the many leaders whose personal am. bitions did not prevent them from using the blood and sinew of the State to enrich themselves, but which does prevent them from offering assistance to a slowly starving people.
 Food is daily becoming scarcer, With the exception of few American mining companies, the mercantile companies of which sell only to their own employees, and half dozen small Chinese merchants along the border the merchant in Sonora has been

Mohave County miner., 1914-04-18

Goods of American manufacture are all that are available. The State is shut off from all other markets. which likewise demand payment upon gold basis. The Mexican who is not em- ployed by an American company can not secure even the necessities of life except that he gather them from the fslds-and years harvest in Sonora will feed it's people for two months.
 From all quarters of the state re- ports of unrest arrive daily. So ser lous has the problem become that all who can are making their way to the border in hopes that they can secure employment on the American side of the boundary. But for every one leaving home there are thousand who face the question of life and death by their own firesides The Sonora army of unfed is growing daily. The demand for food is still pacific. and while few talk violence, urging the forcible seizure of what remains in the State, the thousands of Sonorans begin to yearn for the time to come when the rich ration to the north will open it's b ounteous larders to the starving peon of the south.-Yuma Sun

Colonel Epes Randolph and wife of Tucson were in Yuma for few hours yesterday. They arrived in the morn- ing in Colonel Randolph's private car. Later in the day they made trin to Andrade where Mir. Randolph went to look at piece of levee put in some years ago to control the Colorado rlv- CT and prevent the waters of the river from flowing into SaIton sink. He found that the river current had cut out or under some seven hundred feet of the levee and that it had dropped into the river and had been washed
 away. This piece of levy will have to be replaced at once to prevent the

river from again flowing into the Im- perial valley during the coming high water. MT. Randol ph said that It will not be difficult matter to replace the levee if the work is done at once be- fore the river comes up on It's annual frsshet.

Trust Legislation Program Blocked by Organized
 Labor's Attitude.
TOTAL EXEMPTION
( Arises Over Proposed Amendment tO Exempt Labor Union and Farmers Organization
 From Prosecution.

Washington, May 6.-Organized la Dor today put a block in the part of trust legislation through insistence that President Wilson shall consent to amendment to the Clayton bill ex- empting labor unions and farmers organizations from prosecution under antitrust laws.
 President Wilson told congressional visitors thath he is unwilling to grant such humanity to these special organ izations and would not consent to the sweeping amendments proposed or to compromises suggested.
 He laid the matter before the cabi- net. No statement was issued, but 1t is understood the president stood firm in his opposition to the demands of labor and that he procured the sup port of his cabinet members.
 Tte labor side of the question was presented to the presidenS by Senator Hughes of Now Jersey, who stands with the labor unions; Chairman Ad- amson of the house interstate and foreign and commerce commission and Chairman Webb, Carlin and Floyd o fthe judiciary committee.
 In an effort to compromise, the house judiciary committee agreed to the following amendment to the Clay ton bill:
 And no usch organizations or as sociations, or membera hereof, shall be regarded as an illcs ! combination in restraint of trade under the Sher- man act"
 | it, fn hn | bill, relieving such organizations from prosecution under it. '''4cs' 4~'. The president would not accept the amendment and the committee left | the white house with the understand | ing it would seek other conferences with other labor leaders in an effort to reach an agreement through which Democratic support can be com- manded.
 The labor men say they have a suf- ficient number of votes in the house to adopt the amendment suggested by the judiciary committee. Complaints of bad faith on the part of labor men and sympathizers in the house are being made by members of the judiciary committee. It is said the labor men accepted the exemption given them in the Clay ton bill and promised to support that bill. Their demand now for sweep ing exemption, it is claimed, is unfair. Political discussion of the Clayton trust bill ended today in the house. and the bill was taken up for amend | menf.
 Bitterest opposition to the bill Is
 manifested against the labor section and the section attempting to fix prices under certain conditions. Vote on these sections will not come up for some days.

HUERTA MUST GET OUT
Niagara Falls Report Says Huerta Gains Point. Lapata Sends Repre- sentative Who (0nsuIts With
 Secretary Bryan.

Niagara Falls. Ontario. May 26.- 1 The white house today surrendered on it's demand for the unconditional elimination of lIucrta, Bryan author Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman. to accept Hucrta's terms on this point.
 By reccding from his original de- mand. President A}.son in the opin- ion of the Mexican envoys, has as- sured the success of the peace con- ference. and avertcd war between the United States and Mexico.
 On of the mediators said today that WashinFton's plan for forcing Huerta out looked like too much "poliIie,l prescription" The South American diplomats reported the MeXi en delegates opposing the total eclipse of the dictator"
 Working on Peace Plan.
 Actual work of drafting tentative peace protocol, according to the an- nouncement of Justice Lamar. was begun this morning by the media tors. From an equally high source 1t was learned that names are now being considered for a provisional president who will be accepted by Huerta and Carranza.
 Following the adjournment of conference this afternoon between the Americans and the mediators, Justice Lamar dictated this statement:
 'It has been agreed that l might state to you this much: We have finally begun the actual discussion of a plan.
 "It would. of course, be improper for us to specify the points under discussion or those upoa v hich we have agreed or substantial agree.
 we have an appointment in Tor onto tomorrow. but not ,thstanding that we expect that these conferences will be continued"
 General Carranza will be notified by Secretary Bryan of the conditions on which the Mexican delegates have agreed to the elimination of Huerta. There i5 every reason to believe that the state department will bring every influence to bear upon the constitu- tionilists to accede to the plan aRd agree to enter into general armis- tice in Mexico pending the drafting and signing of the peace protocol.
 Land Question Is Mexico's
 Senator Ra,asa. his Mexican col- leagues and the South American mediators insist that the last question is problem for international solu- tion. and that no foreign power will be permitted to dictate to Mexico how this problem shall be dealt with.
 Senor Ra6asa intended issuing statement ot this effect today but changed his mind after receiving communication from Acting Foreign Minister Ruiz.
 The mediators and the Mexican delegates continued their Informal conversation" during the afternoon. Senor Rabasa received two messages from the Mexican foreign office and the contents of these were communi- cated to the South American media tors.
 Unless difficulties are encountered in persuading General Carranza anl his advisors to agree to the terms accepted by the representatives of Wilson and Huerta, the conference should be brought to successful

JACOB A. RuS
 DIES YESTERDAY
Came to America in Youth and Achieves Greatness
 in Sociological Work.

Barre, Mass, May 26.-Jacob A. Riis died at his farm here today, after an illness of several months dura- tion. He was 65 years of age, and had resided in this country since he was 21. Jacob A. Riss, whom Theodore
 Roosevelt called in a letter of intro duction to all Europe f'New York's
 most useful citizen," was poor inn
 migrant boy who, through his work for humanity, his lectures and writ ings, became known to almost every American.
 Wanted to Be Carpenter. The future author was born in 1S49 at Ribe, on the river Nibs, Denmark His father, who was schooolmaster, tried to make "Jake" literary man, but the boy insisted that he would make better carpenter. Partly due to this difference, of opinion (the father turned out to be right) Riis came to New York in 1870, at the age of twenty-one. He found work in an iron foundry on the Allegheny river, Pennsylvania. The Franco-Prussian
 war broke out Riis, remembering Denmark's grievance against Ger many. came to New York to offer his services to the French counsul. The consul treated hi mike tramp, and Riis pulled his nose.
 Slept on GravestOne.
 In the next few years Riis many times looked like a tramp. He once slept na gravestone in New Bruns- wick, N. F., he says in his famous au-
 photography, ''1'he Making of an American" Again he found lodging in New York police station-house.
 His little dog was barred out. When Riis left the next morning he com- prained that he had been robbed of
 gold locket containing lock of his
 sweetheart's hair. The police officer abused him for this and the little dog,
 which had waited at the door, bit the
 officers leg. The officer beat the
