BODY OFOCHRE UNDISCOVERED
 CLOSETONONE

Near the head of Norton sound, where it has been known only to Els kimos, it is believed, two prospectors who have just returned to Nome re- gently discovered an enormous deposit of the clay-like substance known as red ochre, and valuable for it's paint making qualities.
 For generations, some of the natives told the prospectors, the Ochre has been used by people of their tribes for cOlOring purposes, and from points as far away as the DiOmedes natives came to get supplies of the valued soft rock. The rock or clay-like ma terial is dark red in color and may easily be ground or shaved with a knife. Experiments proved it could be quickly made into paint.
 These prospectors also discovered what is believed to be a big vein of hemitite in subterranean chamber of a low cliff seven miles from Norton Bay mission, which apparently had been a mine of perhaps prehistoric origin. Inquiries of aged natives failed to elicit information of anyone ever having been seen in the district engaged in mining or prospecting, and developed the fact that the opening of the cliff was only recently revealed by a slide. Debris partially covering the entrance to the cliff chamber was cleared away by the prospectors and a tunnel about fifty feet long was dis covered This tunnel apparently had been driven into what is believed to be a ledge of iron ore ten feet wide in it's thickest portion. Near its mouth the subterranean chamber has been timbered.

Fletcher ''was not willing to put the
cards on the table for the State De-
parment," when he testified before the
committee last week.
at is very clear" Mr.. Gould
memorandum declared, "that Mr..
Fletcher himself has not been permit

with which the State Department has
persistently clouded the Mexican
problem, and that whether by express
direction or not, Mr.. Fletcher per-
formed his duties in Mexico and here

of the existing government of Mex

Conclusions regarded by Mr.. Gould
as unacceptable after careful read

light of generally known facts" wers
set forth in the memorandum as fol
lows:
Carranza and his government were
placed in power by less than 2 per
cent Of the population OF Mexico.
Carranza's rule is that of small

Carranza's control is confined to
ports, few large interior cities and
territory Immediately adjacent to
three railroad lines, while in the rest
of the country his forces are unable

Carranza's regime is directly the

The Carranza government is hostile

While maintaining a nominal neu-

to be tool of German propaganda in
Mexico.
The State Department at present, in
so far as Mr.. Fletcher was able to
tell the committee, has no definite
views as to what changes in policy
might be beneficial, nor apparently
any intention of changing its present
