has been four tunnel levels run In to
the Long Hike vein and a large
amount OF drifting and cross-cuttinE
done. which has opened mp an I'M
meme body Of ore OF an average value
the best yet opened In the camp. Fine
milling values have been shown for
length Of eight or nine hundred feet,
and the extreme limits OF the ore
chute have not been reached, while the
width OF this remarkable body of ore
has been proven at different places
from six to nearly forty feet. It has
been estimated that the present deyel.
opment work has practically opened
ore bodies OF value Of nine million
dollars, and as yet the lower tunnel
level is at least 400 feet above the
level Of the river, which makes It pos.
sible for still larger bodies to be
opened by tunnels. Mr.. Shoup has had
the advice of several well known en-
gineers. as the work has. progressed.
At the present time Charles Monroe,
a metalurgist, who has recently come
from the Wild Goose mine In Alaska,
is making q complete examination and
sampling Of the ore bodies OF the Long
Hike mine, for the purpose OF advising
as to the best possible treatment of
the ore. John Newsome, a geologist |

GARDNER FLAYS
ARMS EMBARGO
BEFORE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Vitriolic
denunciation of proposals to put an
embargo on ammunitions of war was
voiced in the house today by Repre-
sentative Gardner of Massachusetts
Gardner forced another congressional
discussion OF the international situa-
tion despite the earnest efforts of the
administration to prevent an outbreak
The Massachusetts representative
criticized the administration policy
against Germany. After recounting the
ships destroyed by submarines he said,
upon my soul if I were president, I
think l would prefer to settle some of
these questions with Germany before
proceeded to impose an embargo for
her especial benefit.
Three groups of men are demand
ing an embargo They are the Ger
man-American who demand 1t for the
Fatherland; the cotton kings join In
the chorus out of love for mammon,
and the extreme pacifists. OF the
three l must confess l think the Ger
man-American is the best. His mo-
tives may be hyphenated but they are
neurotic. Frankly the demands are
that we shall balance by legislation an
inequality achieved by Great Britain
over Germany at sea. The reasoning is
simple and from the German point of
view 1t is sound"

SERVE HOT LUNCH
IN DISTRICT SCHOOL
DURING NOON HOUR

Beginning next Monday, girls OF DIS
trict school No. s, north of the city
on the Chester pike, will serve hot
lunches. The school was dedicated
last fall and is the best equipped school
building in the county. The plan OF
serving lunches during the noon re-
cess is to be tried at this school, and
if successful an attempt will be made
to Introduce it in all township build
ing wherever practicable.
Miss Grace King, domestic science
supervisor, will have charge during
the first days. Just what the menu
will be has not been decided.
For while the experiment will only
be made on Monday and Tuesday of
each week.
There are nine schools in the coun-
ty which have installed during the
last two years equipment which will
make this plan possible. Twenty-six
schools are teaching the girls the art
of keeping house, and twenty-seven
schools are teaching how to sew.
Agriculture in some form or other is
being taught in all buildings.

Fight on Ministry.
UNIONS DISSATISFIED
Yelled Threats of Calling
Railroad Strike If Con-

Through by Parliament.

LONDON, Jan. Although the
trades unionists are throwing their
strength against conscription and a
faction of the Unionist party, led by
Sir Edward Carson, has opened a
fight to overthrow the Asquith cabi-
net, the passage of the military serv-
ice bill on first reading in commons
by a vote of 403 to. 105 shows that
t.-s position of the government on
-mpulsory service is stronger than
was supposed.
The anti-conscriptionists had ex-
pected at least 140 votes against the
measure and possibly 145.
I'VE have not yet begun to fight, u
Is the cry of the anticonscriptionists
who declare that general election is
looming nearer every day.

strike will follow II conscription is put

possibility that martial law may be
proclaimed throughout the United
Kingdom with a military government

Declares Much Depends on
Turn Wayne County Takes
Whether Finly Gray Loses

Judge Comstock may defeat me

the city for the purpose Of looking
over the political situation.
How is Wayne county going, for

much depends upon the action of

Comstock and himself.

Then let us consider the political sit

to carry munitions and that when the
order was issued to submarine COM
manders to sink her she was in the

to the submarine commanders who
sank the steamer, according to the
German contention. And in agreeing
to pay indemnities for American lives
1t is understood Germany takes the
position that che must ta..e up each
individual case on .ts merit and the
Lusitania settlement cannot be accept
ed as a precedent to follow when
other casualties are taken up.
Germany will suggest the question
Of individual damages should be ad-

It was understood that there would be
no attempt to take advantage OF the
prevailing American legal decision
that the legal limit for damages in

trary It is understood Germany Is WILL

awarding Mrs. Iva Danna of Milton,
$2,250 damages for personal injuries,
