ON
REEDS PEAK

A lease on a portion of the
Reeds Peak Mining company pro-
perty has been granted to l.. G.
Schwalenberg, who will begin oper-
ations in a few days, working two
shifts of miners equipped with n
machine drill, says the Salt Lake
Telegram.
The ground to be worked is a
part of the Birthday Nos. 2 and 3
claims, lying to the north of the
comany's long tunnel, which is be-
ing driven to the north-south fault.
The lessee will start work within
a week on a short drift hal has been
driven to the northeast from a
point about S25 feet from the por-
tai of the tunnel. The drift will DC
extended in the same general direc-
ton following the bedding planes of
the limestone.
There is considerable m~ineraliza-
ton showing in the face of the drift
and it is believed that an ore body
should be encountered with a COM
paratively small amount of work.
The lease is for the period of one
year and the work to be done under
its terms will result in opening up
an interesting and promising por-
ton of the property.

One of the first steps which plac-
ed full powers in the hands of
Premier Zaimis of Greece, making
him virtually dictator yer night,
was taken when he forbade public
gatherings. The arrangement
whereby the issuance of the decree
dissolving the now adjourned par
lament and calling new elections
was postponed indefinitely disposed
etTectually of any parliamentary in
reference with the policy of the
government. Finally the premier
requested and received the unquali-
fed support of the leaders of the
Venizelos party and of the party
opposed to V~enizelos, thus giving
the temporary cabinet a politically
representative character, Greece at
last found herself partially salts
fled, and all through the workings
OF an individual who was neither
King Constantine nor former Pre-
mier Venizelos. The solution of
the political muddle which has kept
Greece in a condition of ~wavering
)eutrality for two years vas effec-
ted quietly, and the public was
not aware of the extent to which
the constitution of Greece was
virtually set aside or of the n
in which power was concentrated in
the hands of the premier.
