SHARP NOTE TO
GREAT BRITAIN
United States Will Protest
Against Mail Seizure.
REPLY NOT SATISFACTORY

Recent Communication From London
in Answer to American Complaint
Not Considered Acceptable by Wash
lngton Officials.
Washington, May 16.-The Ameri-
can government is preparing a pro-
test, characterized by officials as
"very vigorous" against the interfer-
ence with mails to and from the Unit
ed States by Great Britain.
A note to be sent forward in the
near future will take the position that
the UniSd States can no longer coun-
tenance seizure and detention Of mails
to and from the United States, par
ticularly those concerning neutrals.
The reply recently received from
Great Britain to the last American
note protesting against interference
with American mails is considered
unsatisfactory.
Protests have been made to the
government by many individuals and
firms who have been injured by the
frequent long delays TO which mails
between Europe and the United States
have been subjected
The subject is under detailed study
at the state department and President
Wilson has decided to make represen-
tations TO Great Britain as quickly as
a note can be completed
The British government will be in
formed that the United States consid-
ers it imperative that her present pol
Icy be modified.

BLACK ROCK CUTS
 VEIN 0F COLD 0RE

The Black Rock, Ltd, Mining and Milling company, is taking some of the bitter from the sweet, the latter being in the form of four feet of S23.00 free milling gold ore at the 460-foot level, says the Hassayampa Miner. The work at this property for the past few months has been driving a crosscut on the 460 level to reach the hanging wall. On the way a wide sulphide zone was crossed and some pockets of high grade silver were encountered, finally cutting the gold vein above noted MT. Riser, the company's engineer visited the property a few days since to sample and study the new condi- tions and as a result of his visit to the 800 level at once The kitter part of the company's experience is that the companys experience is that the cloudburst on the 10th washed about one hundred tons of muck into the workings and demol- ished a part of the boarding house, also badly damaging the road down the mountain. The owners, a Cana dian company, are to be congratu- lated in their strike, as they have shown their staying powers and faith in their property, by sticking to the work and realizing that depth was 1 necessary to attain their ends. It must be remembered by every pros- pective investor in this district that l the ground is deep and the. days of grass root running are gone. The district is no place for those who
 would find a mine with a ten foot 1 hole.
