ABANDONED MINE
YIELDS FORTUNE
IN RED LIQUOR

ELY, Nevada-The romance sur
rounding the life of the miner and
prospector has frequently been re-
sponsible for stories of mines which
yielded fortunes in precious metals
and which suddenly stopped pro-
duction because of the loss of the
ledge or vein carrying the values.
The BLACK Mule" mine, in Spring
Valley, about twelve miles from
here, is one of these mines which
gave up fortune after having been
abandoned.
The fortune, however, was not in
gold or silver or other precious
metal, but in liquor-red liquor
which now commands price that
is fast approaching the hgure-per
ton rate-that high grade" used
to command in Nevadas early min
ing camp history.
The BLACK Mule" was a producer
of rich ore in the early days OF
White Pine county mining activi-
ties. Every rich stope and drift
was worked out, however, and the
shaft had been boarded up for
years. A man, said to be a resi-
dent of Ely, recently imbibed TOO
much. and as a result talked too
much. Like the rumors of a min
ing ''strike," the talk spread, and
with it the values" that were ru-
mored. Then came .rumors of the
location of the new strike"
These rumors reached the ears
of Sheriff W. S. Enslow, and with
several deputies he started on a
prospecting" trip. The old work
ings of the "Black Mule" were ex-
plored, and from drifts, slopes, tun-
nels, inclines and levels from which
the rich ores had been exhausted
were taken something like 400 cases
of whisky. Further explorations re-
suited in the location of 1000 pint
bottles of whisky hidden around the
grass roots in the immediate vicin-
ity
The strike" in the mine is said
to have Melted something like S40,-
000-'bootleg" values-but it has
not caused a stampede, as such a
find would have done few years
ago. Men who have tramped over
the same ground without finding
even a ''color" have not even ap-
preached the scene of the new
Strike" They seem 10 not desire
to show any familiarity with the
section.
Reports have it that it was not
a genuine "strike," but only the ex-
ploitation of "salted" mine.

Meanwhile the shortage of meat
in Berlin is one of the most diff
cult problems facing the food au-
thorities.

WORKMEN HAVE BECOME
GENTLEMEN OF LEISURE

Pullman, Wash, June 27-Woods-
men, miners and other workers in
the great outdoors, once patron of
the saloon for days at time, or un-
til they were broke" now are be-
coming gentlemen OF leisure for
weeks and even months at a time,
thus spending their time off from
work in thorough enjoyment of the
rest that comes to work performed,
according to H. f. Gregory. farm
helptspecialist of Washington State
college, who recently returned from
a visit to the principal farm labor
centers Of the state. Mr.. Gregory
met the leaders of many OF the state
and federal labor-supplying agencies
and bases his opinion on the COM
ment made by majority of them.N
"a man comes into town, say,
with several hundred dollars in
hand" says Mr.. Gregory. There is
no saloon keeper in town with whom
he can leave his money. So, oddly,
strangely, here is what great num-
bers of these men are doing: They
are handing their money over to the
keepers Of restaurants and lodging
houses. A lot OF them pay for their
board and room six months to a
year in advance. And then gentle
men Of leisure, they enjoy the shady
and cool places OF the town for six
months or a year. They have no
care on earth and not the slightest
desire to go to work when their
board and room is paid for year
in advance. They are sober we'll fed
sleep we'll every night, and satisfied
with the world just as 1t is"

determined effort today toward
agreement on a plan for their final
fight against ratification OF the
league covenant in its present form.
Although no definite agreement
was reached, a day OF conferences
served to add impetus to the sugges-
tion of Elihu Root for a ratification
resolution making stipulated reserva-
tions to further protect American
policies. What these reservations
shall be, however, Is a question on
which there still is wide difference
of opinion.
Will H. Hays, chairman Of the re-
publican national committee, spent
most of the day at the capitol, and
saw many republican senators op-
posing the covenant.
The chief objection to the plan for
reservations, it was said, was fear
that the league council might later
assume authority to decide what
force such amending articles would
have on international law. There
seemed to be general feeling that
should the plan be adopted, several
reservations besides those suggested
by Mr.. Root would be included.
It is understood the discussions
touched only incidentally on the res
olution OF Senator Fall, republican.

peace, and that of Senator Knox, re-

Gently returned from Mather Field,
where he went as a passenger in an
airplane, has written to H. II. Wat
son, commanding Mather Field, con-
corning the route which the planes
took through Southern Oregon, says
the Roseburg Review. Governor Oh
colt suggests that by going directly
west from Eugene to the coast and
around the high mountains, the
mountains of Southern Oregon and
Northern California may be avoided.
The mountains of northern Califor-
MIA are exceedingly dangerous to
the pilots who recently took six
planes across them and they attri-
butte the fact that they escaped with
their lives to luck only. Heavily
timbered, with high, jagged can
yons, they offer little chance to the
aviator whose engine should chance
to go wrong.
By taking the route leading di-
rectly to the coast from Eugene, the
planes would be forced to go lit
tie higher than normally. due to the
fact that the pass over the coast
range and down the Siuslaw river
valley Is made at low altitude. But
the beach offers an emergency land
ing place .at practically any point,
and permanent fields could be estab-
lished at necessary intervals.
