PIPING ROCK PUTS
JOSEPH TO SHANE
More than a COatful of COlorS in
Entry Book.

Piping Rock is the cradle Of piping
hot ideas. An aesthetic innovation In
troduced by Frank J. Bryan, racing Sec
rotary of the Piping Rock Racing As
ISOLATION, is a colorful combination Ut
terly new on the turf.
The booklet of conditions for the
twelve races TO be decided at the Pip
ing Rock spring meeting on June ! and
3 will be distributed to-day. Racing
men who saw the first copies yesterday
opencd their eyes in amazement. Inc
pages have Joseph's coat beaten as
medley Of colors. different tint OF
paper and ink being used OH nearly
every page, in a regular crazy quiiI
contrast OF hues.
Mr.. Bryan explains that nc has
sought to reproduce on the page giV-
ing the conditions of the race the
racing colors Of the donor OF the cup
or purse. Hence, the blue ink on paper
the tint OF gold to explain the. condi-
lions of the Harvester Plate, given py

for II. W. Sage's cup; the red and yell

light green ink and paper, for Thomas

so OF.
When the Piping Rock Racing As
ISOLATION gives the cup, the club black
and gold appear. c. Oliver Iselin,
donor of the Glen Cove Plate. has no.
racing colors registered, but this did
not halt Mr.. Bryan's aesthetic scheme,
for he has reproduced Iselin's yachting

Quotation Drops to ~
Cents on Dollar When
Banks Refuse Paper.
UNLIMITED COINAGE
BELIEVED REMEDY
Mexico Believed at Mercy Of
Any Rebel of Strength and
with Capital.

Fl Paso, Tex. April 90 Banks in
Mexico are not refusing Carranza paper
because Of any secret agreement with
the Carranza government. as has been
alleged, but because they feel the paper
has no value, according to Andres Gar
cia. Mexican Consul here.
Consul Garcia admitted to-day that
the financial situation in Mexico looked
rather dark, but said he thought the
problem could be solved by the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
when Villas paper ran down TO
one and one-hslf cents on the dollar
he saved himself by paying his soldiers
in silver" Consul Garcia said. "Mexico
is a silver producing country. The gov
eminent now has s20,000.000 in its
treasury. Paper money is down to two
cents. With s5,0O0,000 We could guar
sntce the new. uncomfortable paper
issue of s250,O00,0 900 more than its pres
ent market price, using this to retire
the old issues. Then with the remain
ing money we could coin silver for the
payment OF soldiers and government
employees. Silver money would have an
intrinsic value at any rate
Carranza money suffered another de-
cline to-day, being quoted in a local
brokers Office at one and three-quar-
tiers cents on the dollar. Americans ar
irving from the interior are unanimous
that the situation Of the Mexican gov
eminent is becoming exceedingly pre-
carious. and that in every city they
have passed through food riots were
almost a daily occurrence.
One American who arrived here from
Durango City described conditions as
terrible. you could not get room
for love or money" he said. "The city
has a normal population of about
$4,000, but to-day it must have double
that number. There were eight or ten
food riots in the week that | was there.
The rioters were savage in their des-
peration, and the women were the
worst. do not know a man in Mexico
who can handle the situation, but 1t
is certain that the people will flock TO
the standard Of any revolutionist who
shows any strength and capital.
"The feeling against the Americans
is running high, and has been in
creased by the Parral incident. Du-
range papers said the 'Gringos' had
murdered 900 women and children, bu.
had fed like towards when the Next
can soldiers attacked them. These
stories are believed by the poems, and
have caused a situation which is max
ing il dangerous for an American to
remain in the interior have come
out after spending fifteen years there,
and I know others who have spent
twice that time in Mexico who are
leaving"
Reports reached here tonight that
serious rioting had broken out in Mex
leo City. These reports came from
Mexican sources, and were, IS usual,
impossible to confirm.

CORDOVA. May 24.-Reports that the Mother Lode Mining company has struck ore which will rival in richness that of the Kenne2prt Min ing company were received from up the line today.
 According to the story received, the ore now being mined by the Mother Lode will run as high as 50 per cent While this is not as rich as that of the Kennecott the ore constantly Is getting richer, anG; higher values are expected to be tapped soon.
 The ore which was mined and shipped all winter by the Mother Lode ran between 35 and 40 per cen. copper, which was rich enough to bear the high expense of getting it to market If the report of in creased value proves to be true, Il is expected that greater develop ment of the property will be under taken the coming year.

Seattle Has New
 Alaska Publication

The Business Chronicle" is the name of a new publication started in Seattle the first of June which has as it's object the publicity of Alaskan affairs. both business anc otherwise, throughout the United States. The editor Of the paper is Edwin Selwin, who, in letter to The Citizen, states that he expects to get the true facts concerning Alaska, "cutting out the bull" as he states 1t, into the hands of eastern business men, thereby doing great deal of good for the real interests of the territory.
 This the editor expects to do with a number of special articles written by Emil E. Hurja. the for mer we'll known local newspaper man, who was delegate with the Ford peace party at Stockholm and The Hague His letter states that Hurja started north on June 10. and that he has all Alaska towns in his itinerary.

 Al Walsh, the well known local operator who has been in the Tol- stoi district since the first stam- pede there, with the exception of the time required to make nasty trip to Ruby, returned to the city on Wednesday evening last and left later for Flat. MT. Walsh, as is well known, never speaks for pub affairs, but it has been frequently reported that he has been busily engaged in securing options on claims in the new district, and that his trip to Ruby was connected with a deal for securing ground on Boob creek. Asked as to the out look for the new district MT. Walsh stated that the prospects were eX- ceedingly good. He said, however, that comparatively little prospect ing had been done, and he explained that usually the men who had staked claims would do sufficient work 10 make a discovery and thus per'ect their claim, and then rush away to other holdings and do similar work there. The result was that com paratively few men had settled down to thorough development work, and but few shafts had been driven to bedrock There had been several new finds of more or less import ance, and in each case there had been small stampedes to the new location. The result was that things had been very unsettled. He looked for thorough prospecting work to commence in earnest now.
