SENATE SETS A NEW
HIGH MARK FOR DEFENSE.

Passes Army Bill Appropriatinq Near
!y $315,oO o,oo0.-Measure Goes to
Conference.
Washington.-Near $4,000, 900 for
national defense for the fiscal year of
1917 is the aggregate of proposed ap-
preparations reported in the senate
with passage of the army bill carry
ing in round numbers $314,OOO,OOO.
This grand total for preparedness
still is subject to revision, however,
because the army bill will follow the
naval bill into conference where re-
auctions are probable despite the firm
attitude of President Wilson in sup
porting the liberal response of the
senate to the call for adequate de-
Tense.
AS it passed the senate the Army
bill exceeded the appropriations
made by the house by more than
$131, 100000.

CAPTAIN FRYATT ACCUSED OF
ATTEMPTING TO RAM A
SUBMARINE.
TRIED, CONVICTED AND SHOT
London Government Asks American
Ambassador at Berlin to Procure
Details of Case.-Many Difficult
Problems Involved.

Berlin.-Capt. Charles Fryatt, Of the
Great Eastern Railway Steamship
Brussels, convicted by German court
martial at Bruges, Brussels, of at
tempting on March %, 1915, to ram a
German submarine near the Mas
lghtship, when he did not belong to
shooting. The Brussels was captur-
ed by German destloyers last month
and brought into zeebrugge.
Captain Fraytt and the first officer
and the first engineer of the Brus-
sells received from the British Admi-
rally gold watches for brave con-
duct and were mentioned in the
House or Commons.
The submarine U-33 according TO
the official account of the trial had
signalled to the British steamer to
show her flag and to stop but Cap
tain Fraytt did not heed and, it ia
alleged, turned at high sped toward
the submarine which escaped only by
diving Immediately several yards be-
low the surface.

and the captain was executed and
shot for franc tierur crime against

Washington-Germ execution
of Capt. Charles Fryatt, master of
the British steamship Brussels, for an
alleged attempt to ram a submarine,
is regarded in allied quarters here as
a brutla violation of international law
likely to result in prompt retailiatory
measures by Great Britain. They
contend that if a hostile submarine
approached the Brussels it was in Of
feet an attack and Captain Fryatt in
making a counter-attack by attempt
ing to ram subjected himself only to
treatment as a prisoner of war in
event of capture.

Our Lead and Zinc Mines

West of Mansfield short dis.
tance are 10 be found many lead
and zinc mines and prospects.
About mile from town stands
a large crusher building where
formerly was separated the min.
eral that was taken from several
deep shafts-one on the north
side of the Frisco tracks and
three or four on the south. The
deepest of these shafts is 32O feet
About q of a mile west of
these shafts is another shaft-on
the Deaver tract of land. This
shaft is down about 16O feet. We
find here fine mineral all through
the rock; also, a pile of lead, zinc
and silicate that has never been
shipped. There seems to be sew
eral tons of it on the ground
Just south of this shaft about
ID or 20 rods is G. S. Burney's
prospect, on what is called the
Jones land. Mr.. Burney has
started shaft on a fissure, and
is down about seven feet. He
encountered some fine ore sam
pies in going down, and at the
bottom a nice vein of zinc ore
sets in nearly an inch thick.
Here's hoping Mr.. Burney goes
down on this shaft and develops
a rich mine.
Rufus Chandler wants it un-
derstood that the name of his
mine is the Gulch Mine. He is
starting a tunnel and is drifting
in a northwesterly direction.
Frank Scheuermann is sinking
a shaft in his cellar this week to
encounter the tunnel. This tuD
mel was worked last summer and
contains some fine lead ore mixed
with flint rock.
There are many more mines in
this vicinity, mention of which
we hope to make later
