MASON VALLEY CO.
IN TIN PRODUCTION

An important development is under
way in the tin zone OF the MaJuba
Silver, Tin and Copper Mines Cont
pany at Majuba Hill, 20 miles west of
INLAY, and it is being watched with
interest by prominent mining men
who are familiar with lode tin mit-
ing. Work was recently resumed in
this portion of the Majuba property
an almost at once big Improvement
in the grade Of ore was noted.
/ Though stock in the Majuba is
closely held aand has never been offer
ed to the public, the general manage
ment is not averse to legitimate pub
licity, but they deem it wise to with
hold assay returns of the late find un-
til further development discloses how
extensive the high-grade ore body
proves to be. II is violating no conf
dence, however, to say that the. face
of one drift shows five feet of ore
with very satisfactory values.
Since before the birth OF Christ the
mines of Cornwell England, have
furnished big proportion of the
worlds tin, and one who is familiar
with them made an examination of the
Majuba mine last week He stated
that he found conditions there al

Mary Ann, one of Cornwalls most
famous mines, especially the open
fissure. Th only difference he noted
was the absence OH galena at the Ma
juba. The tin occurs in the form of
cassiterite, the vein being chalcedony
combined with chalytite.
Good progress is also being made
in the northeast drift from the lower
Majuba tunnel, which will tap the tin
ore zone at depth of 400 feet below
the present workings in No. tun-
mel where the high-grade above re-
ferred to is being developed.
A mile to the north of the main
workings, what has been named the
Colombia tunnel is being driven to de-
velop an ore zone Us ieet wide in
which recent prospecting disclosed
some very good values. The ore here
differs from the balance IN that, be-
sides copper and silver, it carries zinc,
a metal which has not heretofore been
encountered in the other workings
The Mason Valleye Mine Company
is said to be one Of the principal
stockholders in the Majuba property.
Jack Welsh, well known mining
man Of this vicinity, is manager.

SOME PAPERS UNCONViaCED
evening Globe, Strongly Anti-WiIson,
Says That the President Takes
an impossible Attitude.

London.-All the London evening
newspapers devote their leading arti-
cles to President Wilson's appeal in
connection with the Italian situation
at the Paris conference and to Pre-.
mier Orlando's decision to withdraw
from the conference. The Westmin.
ster Gazette endorses the statement
OF the American executive, noting that
Italy in her claims went beyond the
treaty CT London in claiming Fiume
as well as the Trentino and other ter.
ritory assigned her by the London
pact.
We are obliged to point out" says
the newspaper, that in this very
treaty Fiume was assigned to the
Croatians. II. then. the appeal is to
the treaty, we are as much bound not
to give>Fiume to Italy as we are bound
to give her the other territories"
II the italians claim Fiume under
the principle Of self-determination
adds The Gazette. that principle also
applies to the Slav regions which were
assigned to Italy under the treaty.
ihe Evening Standard says II can
not pretend to be convinced by Pres.
ident Wilson's arguments, while The
Pail Mall Gazette says that Italy is
claiming the fulfllment Of the treaty
where she Is the gamer by its terms
and its abrogation where 1t stands in
the way Of her full demands.
Her statesmen" The Pail Mall Ga.
zette adds, must realize upon reflec-
tion that the second attitude under
mines whatever moral force is inher-
ept in the trust"
The Evening GIoDe. which is strong
ly anti-Wilson. says the President has
taken up an impossible attitude. 1t
refers to his appeal as an insult to the
Italians and suggests that his best
course would be Ito retire gracefully
from discussion which concerns
neither himself nor the American con-
tinent"

WILSON STATEMENT
WAS NO SURPRISE
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENTS MUST
TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER
PRIVATE PAcTs.
THUNDERSTORM OF HONESTY"
Exclusion Of Southern SIavs From
Conference on "Adriatic Question
Barred Italians Also"

Paris.-An eminent Roman Catholic
prelate whom President Wilson re.
ceived weeks ago when the prospects
Of the conference were dark prepared
for him a little address consisting Of
one sentence:
"Mr. President" it ran. "a thunder
storm Of honesty"
In the statement on the Adriatic
question sent by wireless throughout
the world. Mr.. Wilson :.iayed the part
for which the eminent prelate cast
him. The statement. certainly hon.
est, has caused thunderstorm.
The fact that the President had pre-.
pared the statement for publication
had for some days been an open
secret
From the very beginning the Presi-
dent has taken and will take the posi-
tion that public engagements publicly
entered into by the allies must ta6e
precedence over secret engagements
whenever the two kinds of engage
ments were Incompatible.
hhe i'aiiah ueieSation attempted 10
escape from this dilemma by assert
ing that Mr.. Wilson's principles ap-
piled only to peace with Germany, but
not to peace with Austria Germans
and Magyars.
Mr.. Wilson and the whole American
delegation have steadily set their
faces against this standpoint. The
United States recognized the kingdom
OF the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
Mr.. Lansing declared in the council
of 10 that IL the southern Slav dele
gates were to be excluded from the
sitting OF the council when the Adri-
attic question was discussed tho Unit
ed States must insist that the Italians
also be excluded.

SAMUEL GoMPERs Is BADLY
INJURED IN TAXI COLLISION

New York.-Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor. was seriously injured here
when a taxicab in which he was riding
was struck by Broadway surface car
and hurled 20 feet to the curb.
Surgeons who were summoned re-
ported after an examination that two
OF Mr.. Gompers' ribs had been frac-
tured. his right hip sprained, and that
he had suffered severe body confusion.
Despite the advanced age OF the labor
leader. who is 69 years old. the sur
geons declared that there was no like
lihood OF the injuries proving fatal.
Mr.. Gompers has been busy vir.
tually every minute since his return
from the peace conference, where he
served as chairman OF the commits
sion on international labor legislation.
He had just started out from his hotel
for an hours relaxation when the &C.

OF PEACE TREATY
BUT LITTLE ARGUMENT AND NO

faris.-The covenant Of the league
u nations in revised form, moved by
President Wilson, was adopted by
the peace conference in plenary ses.
sion without dissenting vote and
without amendment.
The Presidents motion also named
Sir James Eric Drummond as secre-
tary-general OF the league and provid-
ed for a committee to inaugurate the
league. Thus one OF the notable
works Of the conference passes its
nnal stage and is incorporated in the
peace treaty.
Italy was not represented at the
session, but the name OF Italy appears
as one OF the members OF the league
in the covenant as finally adopted.
Nine labor principles were adopted
for insertion in the treaty
The session adjourned without con-
sidering the report on responsible
ties. providing for the trial OF the for
mer German emperor by Ave judges
from the great powers. This report
was handed in by the council OF four
and embodies in the peace treaty a
provision for the former emperor's
prosecution

sessions Italy was not represented

mained vacant The. other delega-

gates and friends who. congratulated
him on the constitution of the league

BELIEVED PROBABLE THAT
ORLANDO WILL COME BACK

Paris.-Not rapture, but a suspen-
sion Of Italy's collaboration in the
peace conference-thati is how the sit
uation was defined in conference cir.
cles. The Italian delegation. feeling
that its representative character has
been called in question in certain
quarters. considers it its duty to refer
to the Italian parliament, but it Is be-
lieved to be probable that Premier Or
lando will be back in time for the
opening OF the negotiations with the
German plenipotentiaries at Yer
sailles, which will not occur before
May / or May 2.
Until the Italian prime minister's
return the Italian delegates will not
attend the sessions OF either the con-
ference or it's commissions. but in or
der to show that Italy desires to main
tain good relations with the allies the
Italians will continue to collabora te
on the inter-allied commissions.

THE EYES OF THE WORLD

Paris.-The world is awaiting for

Premier Orlando's plans for emerging
from the impasse resulting from the
Fiume intransigience.
All eyes In Paris are turned toward
the German delegates who are doing
their best to appear as distinguished
guests, rather than the emissaries of

The Temps Berlin correspondent
sends an interview with Professor
Schuceking, in which the professor,
who always was the ardent enemy Of

This epoch OF German history is
dead and buried. 1t was the epoch of

VITAL CHANGE IN CONDITIONS
Creation Of Several New States Makes
the Port Of Fiume Their Natural
Outlet to the Sea.
conference

The Italian situation overshadowed
all other questions throughout the day
IN Paris and was the sole subject of
conversation in official and unofficial
circles.
Proposals and counter-proposals
were made between the members of
the British, French and Italian dele
cations. and numerous stories OF COM
promises were ciaculated. These were
suddenly discredited by the issuance
of President Wilson's statement,
showing that the President was not
which were chiefly based on the sup
position that Fiume could be given
to Italy.
The idea. which had been prevalent
in Paris, that the Adriatic situation
was game OF chess. in which the
most skilful diplomats would win, re-
gardless Of the armist,ce conditions,
was suddenly banished by President
Wilson's action.
1t had been generally known that
he had prepared a statement which
was presented to the entire American
delegation, and that the delegation
had approved II. But there was no
suspicion that his position was so un-
alterably against secret diplomacy.
Declarations by the members of the
American delegation that the Presi-
dent would not yield on the matter
Of Fiume were regarded by most Eu-
ropean diplomatists. and especially by
the Italians. as part of political
game. until even now many old school
diplomatists seem unable to compre-
hend what has happened
In his statement President Wilson,
explaining his position on the Adriatic
question, declares that Fiume cannot
become part of Italy.
The President points out that every
condition concerning the Adriatic set
tlement has been changed since Italy
entered the war upon the promises of
the pact OF London. the Austro- Hunga.
rian empire having disappeared.
He notes that new states have been
created from which Fiume is the nat
ural outlet to the sea.
