of the placer deposits has been
proven by 30 shafts sunk on the
Rae ground and by IA shafts on
Kings ground, besides 80 drill
holes.
Operations will commence at the

was first discovered, and which at

Turkish Promises.

The first of more than a hundred
treaties wrung from Turkey by which
the porte promised protection to the
Christians within the boundaries of
the Ottoman empire, was signed las
years ago, at the instance of Russia
Not one of these hundred promises has
ever been kept-which Is sufficiently
Indicated by the fact that all the treat
les cover practically the same points.
Every time the European powers saved
Turkey from dismemberment, the
reigning sultan in his gratitude, sci
emily promised that he would grant his
Christian subjects in European Tur-
key liberty and equality before the
law with Moslems. After France and
England, at the tremendous cost of the
Crimean war, had saved the Turks
from the Russians, the sultan issued
the famous Hattihumatoun of Febru-
airy IS, 1856, in which he swore by the
beard of the prophet to give Christians
full equality. The promise, like so
many others, owas but scrap of pa

ON LOFTY ARAFAT
Beautiful Mountain Is a Long
Extinct Volcano.
II Has Been Scaled, and, Contrary to
Tradition, No Proof That Noah's
Ark Ever Landed There Could
Be Discovered.

The recent appeal made by the
newly established republic OF Ararat
for recognition by the United States
| will be better understood. Mt least geo.
graphically, when 1t is explained that
the region in question L: a province
of Armenia.
1t takes its name from the noun
tain on which the ark made land
Ing after the flood-Ararat meaning
Noah's mountain.
The whole world, according TO the
Bible story, was submerged during the
period of the Deluge and Ararat's top
most peak was the first dry land to
appear above the waters, for the sim
pie reason that 1t was the loft;est-
In Armenia, at all events.
AS viewed today 1t gives notion
of the depth of the flood, inasmuch
as the peak Is more than three miles
above sea level. 1t is dOme-shaped,
and its slopes for 1000 feet FROM the
top are covered with everlasting snow
and great fields of glitterlng ice.
The climb down must have been
rather difficult for Noah, his family
and all the animals disembarked from
the ark. As for an ascent to the top,
II was formerly believed to he i'm
possible. The Armenian monks de-
clared that remains of the Noachlan
bark still existed on the summit, and
that by reason of their sanctity SUI
pernatural influence forbade approach.
Nevertheless, in September, 1929,
bold climber, DR.. Johann Parrot, sue
ceeded in reaching the top of Ararat,
and on coming down stated that he
had found not even the keel of the
ark up there. Since then the feat has
been repeated by several other ad-
venturous persons.
Ararat comes pretty near to being
the most beautiful mountain in the
world. 1t is longextinct volcano,

site symmetry-an ideal volcano of

Below, in the valley of Araxes, was
the Garden Of Eden, according to Ar
menlan tradition. At Marsand, in that
neighborhood, was ESQ say the monks)
the burial place of Noah's wife. At
Arguri, village near great chasm
that runs into the heart Of the noun
tain, Noah planted the first vineyard.

Madame la Marechale Foch Is COM
mander in chief In her own home. She
Is said to be French lady of quiet
and calm determination where the or
der and regularity Of her household
are concerned. She dislikes being late
for luncheon, and she dislikes the
marshal being late for luncheon. For
tunately, the marshal dlslikes 1t him
self. On one occasion, when after the
signing of the armistice FOch was en-
gagged In prolonged conversation with
allied representatives and the hour for
luncheon had gone by, message
came into the conference room to say
that Madame la Marechale could
wait no longer for lunch. 1t may have
been Impotence on the part of Ma
dame la Marechale, or perhaps Foch
expected that message, according to a
possible little prearranged stratagem
between monsieur and madame. Need
less TO say that, in times Of great
pressure, madame makes no demur
when the rules OF her household are
just simply ignored.

SANG REQUIEM or THE HUN
How the Cannon Roared During the
Glorious Offensive Of the Forest
Of Aroonne.

II was night In France and the great
Argonne offensive was on.
The section chiefs grew hoarse
shouting their commands. the gunner
corporals manipulated their sights
with speed and accuracy and the gun
crews eagerly put forth superhuman
effort In serving their pieces which
were being loaded and fired as quickly
az possible. The terrific detonations
shook the forest which actually seemed
Ike a live. throbbIng, burning monster,
who yOmited fire and flame, and roared
inhumanly with its terrible voice.
Every man In the four gun crews was
soon rendered temporarily deaf Lit
up by the CHASTITY flashes from the fire
Of their own guns, they looked like
verltable devils, their faces cleaning
with fiendish Joy as they leaped into
the pit to shift the gun trail or sprang
to the wheels, at which they tugged
and pulled with might and main. 1t
was exceedingly tlresome work for the
earnest lads. The rate of fire was so
rapid that II was necessary for them
to pause occasionally in order to per-
nit the intensely heated pieces to cool.
1t presented thrilling scene to see,
IT. the dim light of the early dawn. a
stalwart lad. bareheaded, eyes heavy
and red from the burning powder gas,
his square jaws grimly set and shirt
open at the throat, his arms bare to the
elbows and black with grease, standing
out there, swabbing out the steaming
gun with the slender rammer. A
lanyard broke from too constant use
Oh one of the guns. Not hesltating
moment to repair 1t, the mo. 1" man
simply used his fingers to draw back
the STRIKER" A lad fell limp and ex-
hausted Into the gun pit, but was
quickly pulled out of danger. where
he lay quite still and was undisturbed
by the terrible barrage. Another man
quickly took his comrades place.
So the terrible fight continued. The
great iron orchestra played its terrible
symphony madly until ten o'clock In
the morning, when the tired musicians
began one by one, to lay aside their
weary instruments, for the score they
had been playing had sent the Fritz
les scampering over the hills and far
away.

nRadlo.cenpassn New Invention.

The naval communication service is
perfecting new and important inven-
ton called "radio-compass."
To Illustrate its use: A ship, let us
say, is 200 miles out at sea. Owing
to persistent bad weather, her navi-
gating officer has not been able for
many days to get sight of the sun.
He has lost his bearings, and can only
guess at his latitude aud longitude.
But he has on board radio-compass
Ian instrument otherwise called "di-
rection-finder." His-wireless outfit en-
ables him to receive messages from
shore stations. The radio-compass
gives him the directions of the sta
lions from which these messages come.
Thus he can locate the position of the
ship with exactness, and the problem of
navigation is safely solved.
