Good Results at

Los Angeles Men
Visit PiOdhe Mines

Charles d. Hoy of Los Angeles and
Harry Shlaudeman of Pasadena were
visitors in Phoebe during the week and
looked over the mining field as thor
oughly as they could in the time at
their disposal. Monday was devoted
to an examination of the big orebeds
in the Virginia-Louise. Mr.. Hoy had
been through this property in 1917
and the work done since that time ex-
cited his admiration and the ore de-
Veloped made him enthusiastic regard
ing the district and the future of the
Virginiia -Louise. The Davidson ore
now developed until it's size is known
to be sixty feet in height and about
two hundred feet long, with the same
great width, and all this solid ore, was
spoken of with satisfaction. The dis
covery of the high-g ore in the
upper part of the forty foot bed, while
truly a magnificent showing, is rather
dwarfed in comparison with the huge
deposits of iron manganese. While it
is one of the big things in the mine it
loses by the natural comparison.
Il am well pleased with the condi-
tion of the property, in which | am a
said Mr.. Hoy. Mr. Shlaudeman was
equally pleased. He is interested in
an Arizona mine and this mining dis
trict impressed him favorably. 1T

said

firm friends.

Mass Celebrated by Father Slattcry
The Rev. Father Slattery celebrated
mass in the Catholic church Sunday
morning and delivered an eloquent
sermon. in which he explained the
solid basis of fact upon which reli g ion

suits of faith and good works. Later
during his visit he put into actual
practice some good work. During last
winter a torrential rainstorm swept
down the hillside and, breaking
through the rear of the church. the
waters flowed over the floor, covering
it with silt. The good father. assisted
by one of the members of the congre-
cation, toiled manfully with shovel
and broom, cleaning up the wreckage
With the perspiration streaming down

NEW NATIONAL GUARD
ENROLLSITS OFFICERS
Efficiency Is Principal QuaIifi-
cation for Commission When
Headquarters Open Here

Eighteen applications for enrolment
in the reorganized National Guard of
Pennsylvania was the total today at the
recruiting Office in the First Pennsyl-
vania Cavalry armory, Thirty second
street and Lancaster avenue.
This exceeded expectations for the
first days enrolment, according to
Captain Robert Morris, in charge of
recruiting. The men applying are of a
very high class, he said, most of them
having seen overseas service. Efficiency
will be the test applied to all men
seeking commissions, he said.
Captain Morris declared that no
favoritism will be shown to any of the
applicants. Every one who ap-
plies will have to pass the physical
tests and other tests and take his
chances, regardless whether he has
been overseas or remained in this
country.
AS soon as those enrolled receive
their commissions they will become re-
cruiting officers and nuclei of the units
of the National Guard to be reorganizcd
in the localities in which they reside.
In this city they will be the nuclei of
the organization to which they are as
signed.
Captain Morris also said the new or.
ganization would be under federal con-
troll, according to the national defense
act of 1916.
Under this act officers receive pay
from the government. and the enlisted
men receive, in addition to pay, uni
fo:s.AS and equipment.

She continued firing until the six
chambers in the revolver had been
empticd. The three were alone in the
office.
II wish there had been more bullets, "

BILL FOR FEDERAL
HOUSING BUREAU
Elimination of Sums Is Pro.
posed by Rep. Tinkham

Washington. July Shy A. P.)-
Representative Tinkham, of Massachu
sets, announced today he would in
troduce before Congress a bill creating
in the Department of Labor a bureau
of housing and living conditions.
The bill would charge the proposed
bureau with investigating housing and
living conditions of the industrial pop-
ulation of the country and provide for
research and experimentation to make
economically practicable the elimina
tion of slums, the improvement of
living conditions, the reduction of the
construction cost of dwellings and the
financing of extended home building
operations without federal appropria :
ton. 1t would furthermore assist com
listing housing facilities, and serve as
clearing house of information on
housing and living conditions.
The secretary of labor would be EN- :
powered to appoint director of the
bureau at $4,000 per annum, and all
archives of the United States hous-
ing corporation and the, housing and
transportation division of the emer
gency fleet corporation not in active
use would be transferred to the bureau,
Mr.. Tinkham pointed out that the
government as result of its war
housing program, in which it expended
approximately 1000 900 to build
homes for industrial workers, has &C
cumulated a vast fund of information
and experience on Industrial housing,
which should be made available to
every community.
