With lapse of "a hours it is

Little was known here tonight
as to the strength of the Amer
lean columns or their mission, but
it was assumed that one of them
might be a detachment sent by
General Pershing to rescue the
survivors of the troops of the
Tenth cavalry engaged at Car
rizal.
Army officers here also pointed
out that the column headed for
Ojo Caliente, about thirty miles
southwest of Carrizal, probably is
composed of the troops surviving
the engagement there and the two
squadrons of the Eleventh cav
airy sent to reinforce them.
BROWNSVILLE, June 24-CircU.
lars were distributed in fIatamoros
opposite here, today declaring that
the LATEST crossing into Mexico of
American troops near here has been
construed as a declaration OF war
against Mexico on the part of the
United States. The circulars al,
signed by General f.. p Nafarrate
who signs himself as commander OF
Mexican forces in the state Of Tamau-
lipas. The circulars. dated June H.
declares a state of war exists between
the two countries.
Apparently the circular was issued
at the time of the crossing of Ameri-
u cans iust west OF Brownsville last
Fiaturday in pursuit of bandits who
attacked a detachment of The Twenty
sixth infantry and raided two ranches
near San BenitO. These troops wer.
withdrawn Sunday last upon promises
OF Mexican authorities to capture and
punish the bandits.
At least two bandits were killed and
sevral wounded by the punitive es-
pedition. There Were no American
casualties
The circular declares ali Americans
found in Mexico with arms will be
executed, but Americans pursuing
peaceful occupations south of the
Rio Grande and who are not armed
would be protected.

What will probably prove to be
the most important discovery ever
made in Elko county, if not in Me-
vada, has been made by c. F. King
cry of the Elko Drug company, and
DR.. c. w. West. They have defin-
ite1y determined that the water from
the hot springs west of E1ko contains
radium, the most valuable of miner
ais. From a quantity of the sed1-
ment deposited by the water parti-
Gle of radium has been extracted.
This substance is the most valuable
of minerals, as it is worth several
hundred thousand dollars an ounce.
Experiments with the water and
sediment which it holds in solution
as it comes from the ground, have
been in progress for several months
past. Early experiments proved the
sediment rich in pitchblend and uran-
ium salts. AS further analysis re-
quires special apparatus, a quantity OF
the reduced product was sent to
New York for further analysis, and
word has been received of positive
evidence of radium.
Mr.. Kingery, in conversation with
an Independent reporter, stated that
while the value of the discovery IS
as yet speculative, that it might mean
more wealth than the combined. out
put of the mines Of Alaska, the Rand
and the Comstock
1t is only few years ago that the
substance was first isolated in Aus
tria, and there is said to be less than
a pound in existence.
The discovery was made. by mer-

pothole west of Elka last simmer,
DR.. West and Mr.. Kingerytfell to
discussing its probable curative prop
critics. AS deep soundings have fail
ed to determine the depth of the wa
ter, it was suggested that it might
hold cerain radio-activity, and this
gave the suggestion of radiunl. Ex-
periments followed with the results
stated.
Mr.. Kingery further said that this
discovery upsets completely many of
the theories REGARDING radium. 1t
is supposed to be subject to decay,
yet the particle secured was obtained
from deposit of sediment which had
been exposed to the elements for an
indefinite period AS this deposit is
unlimited in quantity, the water hav-
ing piled up small mountain of it
in the centuries past, radium may be
produced in such quantities that 1t
will become a drug on the market.
Dr. West is more reticent in his
statements. He said, however, that
for several months past he has been
interested in the matter, and that ne
was not surprised when he received
information that the presence of
radium had actually been determined.
