that she must be sure of her
place In the sun in Asia since the
cards are stacked against her, by
the white races in both the Amer
teas, in Africa, and in Australia.
Is it well for the world to have
Japan imprisoned on those
islands? 1t seems to me to be a
world danger.
1t seems to me that we ought
to protect our commerce in China
in a spirit of sympathy with
Japan's needs. If we do that we
shall be better off in the end than
If we clench our fists. AS mat
ter Of fact, IL Japan shall take on
herself the task of developing
China's enormous internal re-
sources, we shall benefit, no mat

us than is an undeveloped China

door no more open than 1t now is.

BOYS NAVIGATE
PUYALLUP FROM
ELECTION WEST

Two Kapowsin boys, Miles
Murphy and Clifford johnson,
have set a new record. So far
as known, they are the only per-
sons to navigate successfully the
Puyallup river above Puyallup.
Their trip, from Electron to
Puyallup, is 80 miles. 1t took
them seven hours, and they had
these experiences: Bow of boat
shattered on rock, planks torn
from bottom, seven times cap
sized, and each time forced to
swim for their lives In the racing
water. Then they were jammed
up against rocks and flung up on
sand-bars nuelberless times.
Previous attempts to navigate
the river by canoe or boat have
failed. The river Is full OF rocks
and timbers, and the water runs
10 miles an hour in many places.

LIMA, Peru, May 3.-From
what / have seen of the country,
/ am convinced that Peru's flu
ture lies in irrigation. Without
doubt there are great undeveloped
mines of gold, silver, copper, coal
and the like; but mining does
not really develop a nation along
worth while lines.
What astonishes me is to see
men search the mountains of
Peru for metals, while great riv-
ers of fresh water are running
through rich uncultivated prairiee
to the sea. II these rivers were
damned and the water raised to
flow over the land, Peru would
become a veritable Garden of
Eden.

The great crops of Peru, how
ever, are cotton, sugar, cocoa and
rubber, the latter growing wild
in the heavily wooded section of
eastern Peru. OF these crops, the
most famous is the Peruvian cot
ton, which grows on trees instead
of on bushes as does our cotton.
This Peruvian cotton is dark
colored, with course long fibers
resembling wool. When mixed
with wool it makes "all wool
worsteds." These are sold by
manufacturers in England as very
high grade wooden goods, so that
the Peruvians say that their cot
ton is better than Australian
wool!

MONARCH PITTSBURG HAS
FACE OF HIGH GRADE ORE

Branch Smith, superintendent or
the Monarch Pittsburg mine, under
whose direction ore of excellent
character and apparently of consid-
cradle extent, has been found, stat
ed today to the Bonanza: Il regret
that l have nothing to add to the
statement I gave you yesterday. cx-
cept that we are still penetrating the
ore body, and, instead of shooting
it out we appear to be shooting 1t
in So far as WI have penetrated
the ore there is pay on sides, top and
bottom, as we'll as the face, which is
four and a half by seven feet, max
ing it quite a sizeable shoot of ore.
The lowest assay thus far obtained
is $3.4O, which is quartz that is cas-
lily separated from the other. The
balance runs up as high as 500 and
then some. Where the ruby silver
is to be seen the values are so
strong that l will not quote them. l
do not claim that we have a big
bonanza, but do know that our en-
tire face is of a grade that will ship
without sorting. AS I stated before,
our progress through this hard
quartz is slow, but we are doing the
best we can and are not withholding
any information from the public"

VALUE Of NUGGET IS
PLACED At $4,000

A chunk of solid gold weighing
10% pounds avordupois and valued
at some where arounrd $4,000 was
picked up in Red Rock canyon, a
few miles from Mohave last Thurs
day by Dave Bowman, an old time
placer miner in the Red Rock dis
trict and taken to Los Angeles Sat-
urday. Lance Underwood, we'll
known for many years in Kern
county as a rancher in the Red Rock
country, is in Bakersfield this week
and tells of the big find.
No scales were available and a
pair of balances with a ten pound
hammer was used for weighing at
the Underwood home. Later the
nugget was weighed in Asher's store
at Mojave.
NJ. p. Boag also a miner in the
Red Rock country was in Bakers
field last week and told of seeing the
nugget although he was unable to
give details.
According to Mr.. Underwood Dave
Bowman was walking along the side
of a short gulch running out of Red
Rock canyon near the head of the
canyon and it was while he was
looking around that he saw what
proved to a chunk of solid gold as
big as two fists lying in the bottom
of the gulch.
Several good sized nuggets have
come from the Red Rock country in
the past but never one large as the
last one. The news of the find was
not credited in Bakersfield until
verified by Mr.. Underwood and has
caused considerable excitement in
mining circles in the ctr. Ex-
Sheriff Kelley has claims in the
neighborhood and other Bakersfield
people have interests. Placer mill
ing in the district is sure to have a
boom after this find and several
Bakersfield people are preparing to
go to the desert.
Nuggets larger than the n found
are very scarce and few larger ones
have been found.-Bakersfield Min
ing News.

ROCHESTER, MILL TO
BE RUNNING MARCH I

A. A.. Codd, president of the Ne
vada Short Line and the Rochester
Hills Mines company, has returned
from a brief trip to Rochester, and
reports everything progressing in
good shape for the starting of the
new 1OO-ton mill of the Rochester
Mines company between Feb. 25 and
March 1. The heavy transformers
for the electric power line are now
being placed in position, but the
work is slow on account of the great
weight of this equipment. Accord
ing to present indications. they
should be ready to turn on the juice
for the mill within the next week
or ten days.
The general mining situation in
the camp is steadily growing bright
err and the starting of the new mill
will be a great boon to the district.
The recent fall of snow is going off
rapidly, now averaging only about a
foot in depth and it is expected to
soon be entirely melted, giving a
better chance for surface prospect
ing by new leasers who have been
looking over the district.-Reno

GOOD ORE IS FOUND

in the drifts in the Austin-Dakota
mine, a quest that has been the pur-
poseful objective of Manager Littrell
from the beginning, has every prom
Use of realization this week. A sec
ond or hanging wall ledge came into
the drift on the 800 level a week
ago. This ledge appears to be con-
verging toward the footwall ledge
and will apparently unite farther in
the hill. The two lodges now ex-
posed in the face of the drift are
each twenty inches in thickness. An
average assay made across the new
ledge gave values of $3.50 in gold
and $3S4.10 in silver per ton. An
assay of the footwall ledge gave $50
in gold and 5000 in silver. The ore
is permeated with iodide of silver
and telulrium.
The drift 100 feet above this level
is also being extended and is in a
face of more than three feet of ore.
These facts prove the correctness of
the plans along which the property
is being developed. The ore show
