JEWISH WAR RELIEF
 IS GREAT SUCCESS
Efforts to Help Soldiers Based on Well Directed System of
 Efficiency.

ETROGRAD-None of the volunta- " relief organizations at work with the war refugees has gone about it's task with greater skill than the Jewish whose central committee is in the city According to it's information 250,000 Jewish residents of the territory now occupied by the Germans and Austri- ans were sent away by the military authorities and 100000 left voluntarily
 There are now 170,00O Jews receiv- ing help from the Jewish committee and their number is growing, scanty financial resources having helped to keep their feet up to the present. When the movement began parties of men and women were sent westward to direct the exodus. These parties included a business manager, a physi- clan, nurse and often a fourth wom- an whose duties were to guide and guard unprotected women and girls. The incoming trains were met by To- cal committees.
 Employment agencies have been op- ened in thirty-one cities and ten work shops have been equipped. The great est and most useful help, however, has been afforded in the extension of cred it through cooperative loan societies. The central committee guarantees these societies fifty per cent of their losses. Seventeen agencies for such financial relief have been opened in southern and eastern provinces.
 Asylums and schools for children have been opened wherever refugees have congregated, likewise hospitals, infirmaries and homes for aged and infrm. The committee has already disbursed eight million roubles. of which the government supplied 1,500, 900. No financial assistance, has been solicited. from abroad and practically none has been received. It is the be- lief of the central committee that if allowed the freedom of residence the Jewish refugees in central and east ern Russia will recover comparatively quickly from the disaster that has talk en them. For military reasons such undisturbed residence has not every where been possible. Five thousand Jews htat had settled in Poltava under orders Of course. were later required 10 remove elsewhere. A few hundred have lately been dislodged in the same manner from certain westerly districts of Petrograd province.

PRESCOTT,F Feb. 26.-Ben Rybon and James O'Brien of McCabe have bought the old Cleaveland gold mine of the Chaparral district, and will at once begin the work of retimbering the old shaft and getting the property in shape for shipping. The Cleave- land mine consists of a single claim, and is situated on the Jessie Assure between the Little Jack and the hold ings of the Ohio Mines company. The Cleaveland formerly figured as a producer and shipper, and it is the plan of the new owners to continue sinking the shaft and prepare for early shipments, which will go to Humboldt. Ore ranging as high as $90 per ton was taken from the mine in the early days.
