He pictures a reign of ter TOT. in which troops mutinied, refus ing to fire on the rioters. Mach ne guns were then turned against the crowds, ho says.
 His story follows:
 "On January 8. a mob composed of women and children formed in the glums of Berlin and started toward Unter Den Linden and the imperial Dalace. They were halted and dis- persed by armed police.
 "The government. forseeing the ap- preaching crisis. then called iu two regiments of the Second Landstrum -tationed at Potsdam. The troops ar- rived on the scene and immediately Neran policing the district between Brandenburger Tor and Arsenal Platz

 "The mob streamed. amidst the widest excitement through the capi- 'el. rassed yelling before the doors of the Relchstag, surged through Brandenburger Tor and rushed along Unter den Linden toward the imper- iai palace and Arsenal Platz, driving the mounted patrols before it.

REPORTS ROUGH TRAIL,
 FAIRBANKS TO COAST

E. A. Suter, of Fairbanks. was an outgoing passenger on the Northwest ern th's morning bound for the outside where he will remain until the open ing of navigation on the river.
 Mir. Suter reports the trail from Fairbanks to the coast in an awful shape. and In many places is almost impossible. Near the coast the high winds have swept all the snow from the fulats and the road is just a streak of frozen dirt, making the going aw- fully heavy for the sleds. The auto mobiles fare slightly better on the flats but they get theirs when the they strike the drifts where the snow has been blown by the wind, he said.

JEWELLERS MAKE PLANS
 FOR BETTER PROTECTION

NEW YORK. Feb. Il. - substitu- tlons for platinum are becoming so numerous that the National Jewellers Board Of Trade has decided to present to the New York State Legislature a bill providing that all alloys of the precious element be marked as such.
 There are national and state laws for the marking of the fineness of articles made from gold and silver. Now that platinum is worth about five times as much as gold the jew elers think 1t should come under the same rules.

COUNTY BOARD SITS
ON TOWNSHIP CASE

The county commissioners are
meeting this afternoon to cOnsid-
err certain phases of the townsite
question in connection with the ap-
plication for a mineral patent, nov
pending before the general land
office at Washington in behalf OF
Samuel Fox. James H. Parks, on
behalf of himself and others who
have filed adverse claims, yester-
day presented tn the commission
ers a brief setting forth his rea-
sons why he believed the Fox
claim invalid and whv he believed
the county should join in protest
ing the application of Fox. The
principal point in Parks argument
is that if a mineral patent be
granted under the application OF
Fox, the ground involved within
the boundaries of Fox claim would
be relieved from taxation, and
subject only t. assessment work.

PLANT FOR A LEASE

Judge Hatch, Tom Defenbaugh
left for National and Buckskin this
morning. Hatch, with Boyle, has
heen examining and considering the
mill problem for the Hatch Buck
skin lease. On this property a
large body of high class mill ore
is proven and in sight with such
conditions as to require a mill to
f'tlly treat the ore to advantage on
the ground. The announcement is
made that a 50-ton mill will be
installed forthwith. This project
means much and will enliven min

BIG OREBODIES
At ROCHESTER
MERGER SAID TO BE OPENING
LARGE TONNAGE
OF ORE

ROCHESTER, New, June 2.-The
size of the big ore-shoot upon which
development work is being carried
forward in the property of the
Rochester Merger Mines company,
continues to increase IN proportions
as the drift to the south of the
Pitt tunnel is followed out. Accord
cording to the latest information the
drift is in the ore-shoot for a dis
lance of 26O feet with no signs of
diminution in value.
According to actual measure
rnents the shoot, from wall to wall,
is CA feet wide with values show
ing in both the hanging and foot
walls. This drift is being run 20
connect with the drift being run
from the Friedman tunnel north
and it is expected they will come
together within the next 60 days
and a raise run to connect them,
as the level of the Pitt tunnel is
about rs feet higher than the
Friedman tunnel, which is 1900 feet
farther south. These drifts are on
what is known as No. A vein.
The raise from the drift in tine
big orebody has been run 100 feet
and values are reported to run
considerably better than $50 to the
ton in the face. This raise will
connect with the Ferry-Sampson
workings about 200 feet deep on
the dip of the vein where the ore
body is of about the same value
as at the Pitt tunnel level.
Drifting to the south of the
Friedman tunnel is in progress on
No. A vein and values are still run
ming well, showing a tendency 60
increase. This drift is being driv-
en- to undercut Sunflower hill. at
a depth of about 700 feet.
A party of San Francisco and
Reno mining men visited the prop
erty last week and was considerably
surprised at the showing hat pre-
scented itself. The members of the
party were enthusiastic in thier
SIdlclIlSHIo IC6diulhS thC PiopSASs
as they had not anticipated as great
development as they found. Fine
progress has been made in the past
few months but far greater will be
the progress from now on because
of the installation of the new r.
drill air compressor which has Just
been put into commission. Develop
mCnt other than that which has
been carried on will be started at
once and new ground opened from
the Friedman tunnel.
An official announcement is
shortly expected from the company
which will probably give in detail
something of the accomplishment
and the showing developed in the
work of the last few months.

WEDGE PROPERTY
GIVING PROMISE.
HIGH COPPER ASSAYS OBJ
TANNED FROM VEINS In
LUNING DISTRICT

H. H. Hunter, a well Known
mining man, and ]. T. Goodin. a
banker of Lovelock, were in Reno
yesterday from Luning where they
went to inspect operations at The
Wedge Copper company's property
in the Santa Fe district. Mr.. Hun
ter, who is we'll versed in copper
mining, is a director in the Wedge
and Mr.. Goodin a stockholder.
Both men were highly pleased with
conditions at the mine and In the
Santa Fe district, which is very
active and a heavy shipper of cop
per ores.
1.-THE Santa Fe district is attract
ing the attention of mining men,"
said Mr.. Hunter. "It is the ideal
formation for big copper deposits,
the ore making on a lime-granite
contact and along the fractured
planes of the lime. From New
York canyon on the south clear to
the extreme northern end of the
district, about eight miles, copper
can be found on the surface and
there are 20 to 80 shipping mines.
Luning, the shipping point, is the
liveliest station on the Southern
branch Of the Southern Pacific
and from five to ten gondola cars
are loaded with ore every day. The
corrals are full of teams engaged
in hauling ore and the hotels are
filled with mining men,"
The Wedge copper property
shows all the indications Of de-
veloping into a big copper mine.
The ore makes on one of the
characteristic lime-granite con-
tact zones which cleaves the great
mountain as cleanly as any con-
tact 1 YER saw, said Mr.. Hunter,
and shows outcroppings of COM
mercial ore in many places. There
are three distinct veins on the
Wedge ground which will be de-
yeloped.
Samples taken across the IT
feet of the vein give returns OF
Az per cent copper and selected
samples assayed As per zen cop
per, 1920 silver and $3.50 gold.
At one place on the surface above
these workings the vein shows for
a width of 100 feet. 1t has been
opened in a number of places by
cuts and shallow shafts.
An air compressor and engineO
are being installed and machine
drills will be employed to lessen
mine costs and permit of the min
ing of a large tonnage when de-
sired. The company plans to con-
struct a suitable plant for the treat
ment of it's ores and metallurgical
tests have been conducted and a
process evolved which is believed
will be a success.
The granite of the Santa Fe
district is m%onzonite, the forma-
ton in which the great copper de-
posts of Butte, Mont, occur, and in
which the naturalization extends
to great depths. There is every
evidence that this condition pre-
walls in the Santa Fe district. which
is believed will develop into n of
the big copper camps of the west.
