Abeut mile TO the north OF the Ne

formerly OF National. Nevada, have
acquired eight claims, known as the
New York and Nevada gropp. The
ledge has been opened up on the sur

from two to three feet OF manganese
stained quartz similar to the ore in the
Nevada Rand mine. Values range
from $500 to $20.C0 on the surface,
and the showing is most promising.

Of four claims Just south OF the Walk

small streak of high grade ore was
found on the footwal just be the

operations. The showing is a good
one and may develop into another

The year 1920 will undoubtedly be
one OF great progress in this section.
The district has already produced
over $25l GOO co in gold and silver. and
it IS likely that this sum will be
equalfed if not exceeded during the

the state where such large blocks of
silver-gold ores are blocked out for
milling or where geological indicat 'ons
more fully warrent the belief that
large bodies of ore exist at depth.

CROP IN GEORGIA

COTTON PLANT is LARGE BUT
POORLY FRUITED. BOIL WEE
VII DOING GREAT DAMAGE.

The Journal of Commerce in its
monthly report as to the progress OF
the cottonn crop comments on condi-
tions in Georgia and the Carolinas
as follows:
"Georgia-The boil weevil in Geor-
gia is causing considerable damage.
The plant is large but poorly fruited
and cultivation is poor on account of
rain Shedding is general, but not
above normal. The season is two to
three weeks late. Percentage con-
dition will show a falling off from
last month, when it was 1925 per

or congress gives her back her Amer
lean citizenship all she will have is
claim against the German govern
ment, and, as there will be myriads
of such claims, the chances of col
lecting are small. In fact, the state
ment sets forth that Mrs. de Mumm
will be left, with her child, destitute
unless congress makes her an Ameri-
can in time to legally claim two
fifths of the de Mumm property at
Rheims before it is all disposed of.
The total de Mumm estate being
sold by France amounts to about
S30,000,000, although only a share
of it was Walter de Mumm's, and his
wife's claim would be to two-fifths OF
that share But the stake is millions
at that.
Mr.. Scoville, father of Mrs. de
Mumm and prominent Kansas bank
er, appealed to Senator Capper to
have congress make his daughter an
American again and save her estate,
and Senator Capper introduced the
resolution with an accompanying
statement of facts. Only once be-
fore, it is said, has congress restored
citizenship in this fashion. That was
to Nellie Grannt Sartoris, daughter
of President Grant.

ANIMAL PET CRAZE
MENACE TO SAFETY
LIONS, TIGERS AND BEARS KEPT
IN BACK YARDS. A MOVE TO
CURB THE NEW FAD.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The au-
thorities have taken steps to protect
citizens of San Francisco from wild
animals.
As a result of numerous complaints
brought by neighbors of persons keep
ing man-eating pets in their back
yards Chief of Police White sent out
letters to the authorities of all the
larger cities of the United States ask
ing for information on which San
Francisco may. build an ordinance
governing the maintenance of such
animals by residents of the city.
The chief writes that it "has be-
come more or less of a fad for citi-
zens of San Francisco to keep ami
mails of fierce and dangerous ma
ture, such as lions, tigers and bears
in their back yards"
There is nothing in the local ordi-
nances that makes it mandatory upon
owners of such animals to keep them
behind bars, according to Chief
White.
Suggestions as to sanitary regula-
tons in the keeping of the ferocious
pets in flats and partments are also
asked by Chief White.
Among owners of wild animals who
have recently become storm centers
in their neighborhoods are Mrs. Her
bert E. Cole and G. W. Reed.
Lions Are Pets.
Mrs. Coles pet is a 200-pound At
frican lion, whom she has named
Tawny Pershing. He is only fifteen
old and is still growing. Mrs.
Cole says he's as gentle as kitten. "
Reed, a former soldier, is the proud
owner of a mountain lion that he
brought from the Mexican border.

Oh, no! 1t was-eh, yes, it was-a

White feet battered against the car
peted floor, while shimmering limbs
were outlined against the darkness.
Thoughts of the stage were forgotten
while necks were craned for fleeing,
haunting glimpses.
''Show you to a seat, sir?" said the

rather portly individual in civilian
clothes, drifting in apparently to

on the crown.

mure little miss in abbreviated attire
fox-trotted to the nearest seat and
with grandiose air motioned the
Ziegfeld theater's latest guest to 1T.
She then frolicked away to greet the
next sightseer.
The portly guest watched proceed
ings for a moment, and then moved
uneasily in his chair. Then he pro-
ceeded to the box Office.
"Where's the manager?" he asked.

EVERY COACH is USED
AS A SMOKING CAR
English Railroads Have Conformed
to Women's Use of Tobacco.

LONDON, Eng.-So many English
women have become confirmed
smokers that in recent months rail
way employees have hesitated to en-
force the rules against smoking in
certain carriages, and it has come to
be accepted that if the women pas
sengers do not object every COM
partment becomes a smoking car"
The Great Eastern railroad, whose
general manager is Gen. Henry
Thornton, formerly of the Pennsyl-
vania and Long Island systems IN
America, is the first of the railroads
to change the existing order and
move for a return to pre-war condl-
tions.
By a recent order only such COM
partments as are designated ''smok-
ing" can be used for that purpose,
and even though all the passengers
may consent, no concessions are
made to women. If they want to
smoke they are to be referred to
regular smoking compartments.

BIG FUNERAL is GIVEN
A CAMBRIDGE NEGRO MAN
White People Show Respect for Use
full Life of John Thornton.

CAMBRIDGE, Ga~--The largest
funeral for a colored man ever held
here was that Friday afternoon over
the body of John Thornton, a negro
shoemaker, who was born and rear
ed here. Thornton was an example
of what a colored man can do in this
section by attending to his own bust
ness and lending his work and his in
fluence to things of benefit to the
community.
John was the leading spirit in quite
number of lodges of his race and
also was hard worker in all the bond
issues, Red Cross drives and all 9TH
er work of that nature during the
war times.
1t is estimated there were at least
1900 people at his funeral. Thornton
came from an old and well thought
of negro family. He has brother
that has been barber here for many
years, who enjoys the friendship and
confidence of everybody in the city.

AMERICAN BRIDE OF
WINE KING Is STUNG
ROMANCE OF THE DE MUMMS
is SHATTERED. MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ARE AT STAKE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
is asked by a special resolution, in
troduced by Senator Arthur Capper,
of Kansas, to restore American citl-
zenship to Mrs. Frances Scoville de
Mumm, a Kansas girl, who, in 1913,
married one of the scions of the
wealthy de Mumm family, many
times millionaire wine makers of
France and Germany. At stake in
the legal fight that now has been
carried to congress are millions of
dollars which the Kansas woman says
she will be deprived of as a result of
the war and the German nationality
of her husband, from whom she now
is separated, unless haste is had in
making her once more an American.
Mrs. de Mumm is a daughter of c..
K Scoville, president of the Citizens
State bank of Seneca, Kan. Her
marriage to Walter de Mumm occurr-
ed in June, 1918, in London, and was
one of the notable social events of
the year and attracted international
attention. Her husband, a German,
was then living in France. In fact,
the great G. H. De Mumm & Co..,
wine makers, had its biggest plant at
Rheims.
The marriage proved to be fail
ure and after suffering many indigni-
ties from her German husband they
separated and Frances de Mumm
took I'D her residence in Switzerland.
Before leaving France her big coun-
try residence on the Marine had been
overrun and destroyed in the German
invasion. 1t was valued at 100000.
AS her husband was of German ma
tionality her property and town house
in Paris also were sequestered. Mrs.
De Mumm herself was so friendly
to the allied cause that she was per-
mitted to remain in France if she de-
sired and had free entrance to France
during the war and in turn was de-
MED entrance to Germany, when she
sought divorce proceedings, on the
grounds that she was too friendly to
the allied cause.
Predicament of Woman.
Mrs. de Mumm, who was to get
wo-ffths of the estate as soon as the
divorce was granted, is in this pre-
dicament: Not being an American
any longer, the French government
says it cannot give her the two-ffths
of the estate or even the income from
it until she is repatriated. Meanwhile
the property is being sold and the
statement, sets forth that she cannot
possibly get her divorce before the
liquidation is effected and the money
put beyond power of obtaining her
share of it. If the deal is wound up
before she obtains her final divorce
