CRISIS IN MEXICAN
SITUATION SEEMS
near JUST NOW
Ransom Demanded For U. s. Aviators
VIII Be Given to Mexican Ban
dts Holding Filters.

Ell Paso, Texas, August 18.-Fifteen
thousand dollars ransom was to be
sent today for the release Of Lieu
tenants Paul H. Davis and Harold G.
Peterson, American aviators, held by
Mexican bandits opposite the "Big
Bend District" The aviators were
threatened with death unless the
money was paid today.
The aviators were captured by Mex
lean bandits on landing near the Dor
der Sunday, August 10. The fiiers sent
letters of their plight. The money
was ordered to be paid to Dawkins
Fitzpatrick, a storekeeper at Candel-
aria.
Fitzpatrick received a later message
from villista bandit that the Ameri-
can prisoners would be murdered If
the American commander sent any ex-
petition after the bandits. This con-
sideration was the only thing restrain
ing American cowboys from taking up
the chase after the Mexicans.
Washington, August 1.-two new
problems affecting relations between
the United States and Mexico were be-
fore this government today.
The more important was the report
from the border of the kidnapping of
two army aviators by Mexican bandits
who are said to be holding them for
$4,000 ransom.
The other was the ousting from
Mexico City of the sole remaining rep
resentative of the British government.
Both developments came on the
heels of a note to Carranza, warming
If radical change" in the policy to-
ward Mexico unless safety was as
sured American citizens.
Immediately following publication
If that note and Mexico's answer, II
t becomes necessary to act on the
warming, withdrawal of support OF the
Carranza government probably Will
be the first step.
officials were silent today on wheth-
er the two new developments In the
Mexican situation are considered CT
sufficient gravity to act on the warn
ing given Carranza.
The holding of the two aViatorS
by bandits is taken here as further
proof of Carranza's lack of control
over many sections of his country.

GOVERNMENT COAL MINE PROSPECTING
 NOT DEVELOPING

ANCHORAGE, April 22.-Work at the coal mine operated by the Alaska Engineering Commission at Chickaloon, seventy-foW miles north east of Anchorage, continues to be of a prospecting rather than of a producing character according to Sumner s. Smith, who has charge of the mining department of the Commission.
 The coal beds in the Chickaloon property are faulty; that is, their correlation cannot be identified with any certainty owing to he crushing of the measures and the intrusion of igneous rocks,
 Present efforts Of the Commis- sion," says Mir. Smith. are to corre- lating the various beds and deter mining what portions of them are available for commercial mining. '" In speaking of the methods of working, Mir Smith explains that the folded condition of the ground land the lack of continuity of the beds make it unwise 10 sink a ver- tical shaft. prospect slope and the crosscuts constitute the means that have been invoked to determine the character cf the beds. The slope has been sunk distance of 500 feet. One of the crosscuts has been driven TOO feet; another AGO feet, and the third 300 feet
 The coal that has been taken in the course of the prospecting opera tions from the mine at Chickaloon has proved of exceptionally good grade It excels, as proved by rigid tests, as a steaming coal for ships.
