BY PACKERS
Heney Charges Them With Attempt
ing to Offset Probe by Great
ing Public Senti-
ment.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, March PACKERS pub
licity to Offset the federal trade COM
missions inquiry into the packing in
dustry drew Francis J. Heney's fire
at the opening Of today's hearing.
Armour and company tripled their
expenditures for publicity last year
over 1915, although there is less ne
cessity for advertising as there are
fewer purchases" said Heney. "&r-
mour, Swift and Morris, reached a
definite understanding early IN 1916,
that publicity is essential to prevent
criminal prosecution. They had many
conferences regarding joint publicity,
but finally concluded each to do it on
his own hook"
Exhibits Of printed matter and re-
prints OF articles favorable to pack
ers which Heney said were being sent
country newspapers were introduced
into the record by Heney.
1.-THE packers are flooding small
newspapers with propaganda matter
to Offset the probe" said letter from
a Pitcairn, Pa, newspaper, read by
Heney. And" he added, sarcastical-
ly, 1.-The purpose Is to create public
sentiment against the commissions
probe, and in favor OF the packers
as devoting all their time to winning
the war and thinking Of nothing else"
That the packers contemplated an
expenditure for one year OF s1,500,000
for advertising in daily papers in
cities over $4,000 population and
5000 900 additional. If foreign news
papers were used, was shown by
Heney in a letter from A. D. White
to Louis F. Swift. The cost was to
be pro-rated on the basis of sales,
according to Whites suggestions.
The tentative percentage of expense
to be borne by each packer was
given by another letter as follows:
Swift, Sc; Armour, 20; Morris, Is;
Cudahy, 10: Wilson, 10.
Heney observed on the side, land
the consumer was to foot the bills"
He then said:
collection by some Of the COM
panies to the expense caused this
concerted campaign to fall through,
but the individual companies carry
out the plan"

HELD AT ATLANTIC CITY

Superintendent William Aldrtch of
the Keokuk public schools has re-
turned from the superintendent con-
vent1on held at Atlantic City last
week. Superintendent from all over
the nation attended this meeting, and
the Iowa and Wisconsin school men
travelled together in. making the trip
east. They met In Chicago, and went
via Washington, returning through the
Lehish valley and over the southern
Canada route.
The Iowa party spent a week ago
Sunday in Washington. Arrang ements
had been made to meet Senator Ken,
yon, but he was called out OF Wash
ington on speaking trip, and was
unable to be there. This seems to be
regular thing with many of the SEN
ators and representatives, that they go
on short speaking trips over the week
end and Whenever they can be spar
ed.
One would recognize wartime in
Washington, Mr.. Aldrich said, If from
no other thing, than the many tenn
porary office buildings being erected
and used by the government and for
war work. The uniform was quite
frequently seen.
On the return trip the superintend-
ents went through the Lehigh Valley,
where the Bethlehem plans are locat-
cd. The trip ended at Buffalo, where
the schoolmen proceeded to Chicago
over tho Niagara Falls and southern
Canada route of the Michigan Central.
At one place On the Lehigh Valley
route they saw an aviation field with
its hangar and equipment.
The sessions of the superintendents
at Atlantic City were interesting and
profitable.

W. Il. -, Cleveland, D. - There
has been little news of interest re-
garding the operations of the Gold
field Merger Mines company for
some time past. A large amount of
development work was performed.
and this was recorded in news arti-
Giles in this paper, but more recent
ly the work was slowed up to await
results of deep development in the
adjoining Atlanta property n al
present no work is being done, al
though the Merger workings are
being maintained in good shape, in
readiness to work if any
thing develops in the Atlanta that
is favorable to the Merger. The
Merger has not been abandoned, but
all gold mining stocks are at a low
ebb, owing to the fact that few of
the mines are making money. This
is due to the greatly increased ex-
pense of operating and the fact that
gold not only has remained station
airy in price, but has declined in
purchasing power. If the govern
ment, as now predicted, decides to
take action to stimulate gold pro-
duction by extending aid to the gold
mining industry, it will greatly ben
eft Goldfield and will without doubt
give Goldfield stocks a better mar
ket standing.

All such DIRECTORS, 90 in number,

A good many of them quoted the

GOLD At PREMIUM
AND RARE IN
ENGLAND
COINS IN DEMAND TO USE IN
MAKING OF
JEWELLERY

LONDON, July 3. - Greed for
gold has reached such a stage in
London that Scotland Yard has or
ganized a special department to
check illegal trafficking in British
sovereigns. Gold coins of the Unit
ed States are also at a premium, a
IS gold piece bringing about $3.50
if sold to a jeweler.
With gold at a premium, Che sup
ply rationed and the demand for
jewelry abnormal, because of high
wages being paid munition and 9TH
err factory workers, the temptation
of jewellers to use gold coins in
their work has become greater than
ever.
But little gold reaches the banks
of England in the ordinary course of
business. Because of the scarcity
of gold in circulation an individual
rendering sovereigns is likely to be
looked upon with suspicion unless
he has been identified.
Scotland Yard officials say that
there was, and is still, a consider
able quantity of ~sovereigns boarded
by people in various parts of the
country. War loans brought much
of the former hidden treasure to
light. Seven hundred sovereigns
were found recently in the wreck
age of a house struck by a bomb
during a German raid on London.
jewelers. who have been engaging
in the Illicit buying Of coins have
been using the gold for wedding
rings, the manufacture of pins, for
plating and various articles in their
trade. A sovereign makes a ring
for which the jeweler may charge
anything from $3.50 to $40.
While there is no ban on the is
sue of gold in England, bank GUS
toners can only obtain it for certain
specified purposes.

The Tonopah Divide Mining COM
pany shaft is now 255 feet deep,
which will be the approximate level
of the working at the first lift. A
stump of 10 to Is feet will be sunk
below the station. The management
hopes to begin prosecuting to catch
the western extension of the Divide
ledge within a few days.
Encouraging and promising indi-
cations have appeared in the bot
tom of the shaft for the past two
weeks, and the assays have been
uniform throughout. From 50 to
$40 has been returned from the sam
pies taken, these values being in
gold and silver. 1t has been shown,
also, through tests, that molybde-
mum exists in the rock.
Yesterday morning a good forma-
ton was enco dntered in the bottom
of the shaft and the company had
hopes of being able to fire another
round of shots, but it was necessary
to put in another set of timbers and
the shooting was postponed until
the set is in.
The Gold Zone Divide Mining
company started drifting on the
ledge last night and will continue
west to the Gold Zone-Divide line, a
distance of 200 feet. The ledge was
struck in the south cross-cut about
200 feet from the shaft, and the
vein where cut was about Is feet
wide. Drifting will be carried ahead
with two shifts.
The Gold Reef. under the direc-
ton of R. G. Williams, is rapidly
completing the erection of the hoist,
gallows frame and equipment, and
will shortly be in position to resume
sinking.-Tonopah Miner.
