Interest is keen over the final out

well Of which has been shot. This well
is on the land of the Mid-Continental
Oil Company, about q mile below NIL
ner and had been drilled to a depth
of over 1900 feet
The year 1917 will see q more ex-
tensive operation of the coal mining
industry in the Trinidad district. the
opening OF properties which have been
long idle and consequently the en-
ployment Of q greater, number of men
than has been employed for several
years.
Lessees operating the Silver Ledge
property. located in the Red Mountain
district, about a mile from the town of
Chattanooga, on Porphyry gulch, sent
out abnormal shipments of concen-
trates since the opening Of the rail-
road. The principal values of the ore
mined is zinc. lead and silver.
Don Valdez. who is leasing a piece
of ground in the Madonna mine at
Monarch, has shipped four cars of
ore, which run high in lead. The lead
occurs principally as a carbonate with
some native lead among It. The ore
also carries good per cent Of silver
and the four carloads will net big
sum for the leasers.
The sale of the Sunnyside mine at
Silverton for $6,500.00 is the most Inn
portant transfer OF mining properties
in the San Juan section since the sale
of the the Camp Bird at Ouray. The
Sunnyside mills at Eureka and Mid
'dleton are reported to be operating at
full capacity and are turning out large
quantities of concentrates daily. Oil
flotation and Huff zinc separator are
both employed.
An important discovery at depth has
been made in the Dillon shaft Of the
Granite Gold Mining Company at Vic
tor. At the 1.60O-foot, the bottom lev
ell of the shaft. the Bobtail vein Of the
Portland system has been entered and
. drift has already been carried about
thirty feet in length, all in ore. The
rein IL strong one. In places fully
eighteen feet between walls. Vice
President and General Manager C. C.
Hamlin confirmed the reported dis
covery and is authority for the state
ment that the ore as broken will ship
at one and one-half ounce gold or $40
a ton. at q conservative estimate.

LOYAL SOLDIERS IN RUSSIA
VICTORIOUS IN FIRST TEST

Petrograd, via London.-Forces In
the army at the front which are loyal
OF the provisional government have
had their first test Of strength with
disloyal pacifists and have won a no.
table victory. Two days ago Lieut..
Gen. Stcherbatcheff, commander on
the Rumanian front, gave an order to
disband one infantry, one tirailleur
and one Siberian tirailleur regiment,
all Of which were considered useless
for fighting purposes.
Three regiments OF another division
were order to take up new posi-
ton, but refused to do so, and there
upon received an order TO disband. The
soldiers openly mutinied. The men
OF one Of the regiments arrested the
commander and seven officers, tore
their badges from their uniforms, and
heat two officers, leaving one insensi'
BILE on the ground. A reglmental com
mtttee resolved that the regiment
should not move; thereupon q loyal
committee OF soldiers OF the whole
army. after celebrating with the army
etaff. pronounced sterner measures
against the mutineers.

Graduates Think of War.

Columbia.-The spirit OF the times
deeply Influenced the graduation ex.
ercises Of the University Of South Car
olina The chapel, over 100 years old,
was decorated, fore and aft, with many
flags. An immense United States flag
formed background for the speakers
on the stage. Facing them from the
extreme end OF the balcony, was a
large Confederate flag. weather and
time stained and just above it gold
fringed silk United States flag. At
one end Of the balcony the summer
breeze came in from the campus and
futtered the tricolor Of the French.
Smaller flags of the other allies we're
elso displayed. Military airs played
by the orchestra added to the impress
sion. AS President Currel remarked,
it was an historic occasion. Every
one seemed conscious of the boys
who had already left their books to
enter the service Of their country, and
there was, as least, one graduate, in
his military uniform, present to re-
ceive his diploma AS the names Of
the absent ones were called the large
audience applauded loudly and DR..
Currell stated that the board Of trus-
tees Of the university had authorized
him to go to Fort Oglethrope to de-
liver diplomas to the 16 seniors who
had been granted leave Of absence.
Also touching the universal thought
of the world war were the subjects OF
the several addresses Of the morning.
The address to the graduating class
by Judge Mendel L. Smith Of Camden
was eloquent with patriotism and
logic. Addresses by the following
students reflected the Same thought
in varying moods and points of OBJ.

London.-In a swift and deadly raid
on the city of London, German air
planes took a heavy toll in killed and
wounded. Other places were attack
ed, but SO far as known. the heaviest
losses occurred in London itself. At
late hour the casualties as officially
announced numbered 534, including
nincty-seven killed and 49, wounded.

men were wounded. Sixteen women
and twcnty-siX children were killed
and 122 women and ninety.four chill.
drcn were wounded.
The German squadron consisted Of
about fifteen machines and the down
town section of London was the chief
objective. Many bombs fell in the
east end where buildings were de.
stroyed and others badly damaged
and scores Of persons fell victims to
the explosions. In one instance alone
ten children were killed in school
and fifty were injured.

Germans remained at great height

British fighters had difficulty in the
pursuit for the loss Of only one Ger

Others are reported to have been
brought down. but there is no official
confirmation Of this. The anti.ar-
craft guns Of London seemingly were
unable to reach the Germans.

the crowded districts suffered great
damage, Field Marshal Vscount

Ever Since the Outbreak OF the

come. In response to the demand OF
the protecting powers, France. Great
Britain and Russia, he abdicated in
favor of his second son, Prince Alex
ander
The climax in the affairs Of Greece
was brought about through the agency
Of the French senator, M. Jonnart, VINO
has held posts in several French cab
inets, and who arrived at Athens only
day rtwo ago on special mission
as the representative Of France, Great
Britain and Russia. NJ. Jonnart had
previously visited Saloniki and other
points, and he lost no time in getting
into conference with Premier Alexan-
der Zaimis. The demands Of the pow
ers respecting the abdication Of King
Constantine also specifically eliminat-
ed Crown Prince George as his sue
cessor the crown prince being includ-
ed among those in official life who
were considered strongly proGerman.
Both the former king and Prince
George, it was announced by Premier
laimis, intend to leave the country
1t is reported that they
will embark on Bl 4tish warship and
proceed to Switzerland by way Of
Italy. 1t is presumed that Prince
will take up his kingly du-
ties with full acceptation Of the ideas
which the protecting powers desire to
be put into effect in the government
Of Greece during the present war. He
is twenty-four years cid and has been
free from anti-entente proclivities.
Affairs in Greece, which several
times since the outbreak Of the war
had seemed on the verge of settle
ment, recently have taken on such an
aspect Of uncertainty that it became
necessary for the powers to act with
decision. M. JOnnart was selected to
proceed to Athens for the purpose Of
laying before the premier the aims
which France. Great Britain and Rus
sia had with respect to establishing
unity Of feeling among the Greeks.
M. Zaimis recognized the disintar-
estedness Of the powers, whose sole
object was to reconstitute the unity
Of Greece under the constitution, but
he pointed out to M. Jonnart that a
decision could only be taken by the
king after a meeting Of the crown
council, composed Of former premiers

SITUATION IN CATALONIA IS
GROWING MORE SERIOUS
EVERY DAY.
NUMEROUS THREATS MADE
Acute Problem For New Ministry
One Faction Demands Peace at Any
Found BY New Premier.

Paris-Some light is now thrown
on the present situation in Spain,
which has been the cause Of misgiv-
ings recently, by special ccrrespon-
dent of The Petit Parisien who has

He wires the following summary OF
the situation which made the position
of the late cabinet untenable and pre-
sents an acute problem for the new

miles in the northeast Of Spain. with
population Of nearly 100000. whose
capital is Barcelona is critical. The
inhabitants are aroused against the
Spanish government and are agitating
irsistently for complete independence.
One faction openly declares in Bar
celona newspaper that it will obey no
law not passed by the Catalonians for
Catalonians. and demands independ.
ence at any price.
Aside from this local situation, the
correspondent finds that the economic
state Of affairs in general demands
speedy action by the cabinet. Strikes
are imminent, especially in Asturias
Can important district in northwestern
Spain on the Bay Of Biscay). Strikes
are under discussion by all railroad
employees and most Of the industrial
workers.
