MEX.StNATE IN
ROW OVER OIL
SECRETARY CABRERA SAYS
BODY IS ONLY WASTING
TIME

MEXICO CITY, Oct. GA sharp
conflict is being waged in the Mex
lean senate over the naturalization
of oil lands as provided in the de-
crees of President Carranza which
we're intended to put into effect
Article "a of the Mexican constitu-
ton. These DEGREES have been the
object of bitter attack by the for
eign oil interests which declare that
both they and Article 81 of the
constitution would be confiscatory.
Disappointed over the inactivity of
the chamber of deputies which has
delayed action On the nationalist
ton question, the senate brought up
a new oil initiative based on
that of the president but differing
from it in the vital point that it
should not be retroactive. If adopt
ed this law would not nationalize
oil lands to which the title was per-
fected before the present constitu-
ton became operative which was on
May. 81, 1917.
Debate on this measure, however,
soon became complicated as a re-
suit of attempts to include in it a
complete redrafting of the 9th
article. In the senate discussions,
Luis Cabrera, secretary of the
treasury, and Leon Salinas, sub
secretary of industry and commerce,
have presented the governments
side in support of naturalization.
Secretary Cabrera also is quoted
in newspapers as asserting that the,
senate is only wasting time in dis
cussing the oil question since the oil
interests would not be satisfied
with the senate's decision.
The foreign oil companies have
brought suits in the Mexican courts
to prevent the presidential DEGREES
from taking effect, and these have
been appealed to the supreme court.
Secretary Cabrera has opposed ac-
ton of the supreme court in these
cases seemingly to delay action un-
til the executive department of the
Mexican government and represen-
tatives of the oil interests can reach
an understanding. What, if any,
progress has been made toward
reaching such an agreement is I'M
known.

Ex-sOlD|ERS FIND
LIFE TOO QUIET
BRITISH HAVE BECOME USED
TO PLENTY OF EN-
CITEMENT

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Some of the
soldiers who served in the great
war are finding the humdrum life
of the civilian too m~onotonous tc
endure and offering to risk their
lives in campaigns anywhere or in
any adventure to escape the tedium
of office or shop life. An example
is shown in the following adver-
tisement which appeared in the Lon
don papers the other day:
Young e%x-soldier, three times
wounded, will risk life for 200
pounds, tired of life and all alone.
Write -" etc.
Inquiry disclosed that the adver-
tiser was formerly a stretcher
bearer in the royal army medical
corps, who won the military medal
at Martinpuich and later at Ypres
won a bar to the medal. After his
discharge he obtained employment
as civilian clerk in the royal air
force.
81 am paid three pounds a week
he told an interviewer but / am
ashamed to take it. For weeks I
have not done a stroke of work. Do
ing nothing all day is getting on my
erves. l cannot stand it. I want
action. Perhaps some cinema firm
might want somebody FOR a par
ticalar risky job"
Recently four officers advertised
themselves as ready to enlist in any
capacity in any campaign for any
country, provided there al "somc
fighting to be done"

BELMONT WORKING

slopes on Tuesday last, and on
Wednesday hosting to the bins on
the surface. was commenced. For
the first few days. the average ton
mage of the mine was about SIS
tons, but it is expected that from
now on this production will be
gradually increased until, when the
mine and mill are working norm
ally, the regular production. CORE
spending fairly well with the tom
nages extracted from the slopes in
the times before the walkout of
miners occurred, will be maintained.
In addition to the stopping work,
the Belmont company has a crew of
men at work on the new main haul
ing track, which is being fixed up
with facilities for operating by
~electricity, taking the place of the
mule teams which had been utilized
since the Belmont mine became one
of the big producers of the west.
The mule teams, one of the pictur-
ing operations at western mines;
have been discarded in favor OF the
more economical and efficient prac-
tice Of hauling by electric power.
A full equipment of electric storage
battery locomotives will within a
short time be installed in the mine,
and when the track and power line
has been installed and the locomo-
tives started, the company will be
able, it is estimated, to double the
present production from the slopes
that are working. The necessary in
s~tallation work should be finished,
according to calculations, in about
two weeks.
No announcement has been made
rs vet by the Tonopah Mining COM
pany and the Jim Butler Tonopah
Mining company. whose product was
treated at the Belmont mill, as to
when shipments from their respect
i've properties would be resumed, al
though both companies have forces
of underground men at work now.
1t is believed. however. that it will
be only a short while until both the
Tonopah Mining and the Jim Butler
companies will again be delivering
the regular tonnages to the Belmont
plant.-Tonopah Miner.

TELEGRAM ANNOUNCING
DEATH PROVES HOAX

Recently the Tribune received a
telegram from the. Passiac Daily
Herald and the sherif's office re-
ceived a letter relative to the sup
posed death in a hotel here of John
Ganley of Passiac Park, N. ]. Gan
ley was said to be a pen salesman
travelling for Joseph Gillette & Co.,
of New York. According to the Pas
sale Herald. the Ganley family had
received a telegram signed by "the
chief of police, Goldfield," stating
that Ganley had been killed here.
Neither the sheriff's office nor Con-
stable Morrison know anything re-
garding such a telegram and Ganley
undoubtedly did not die in Gold
field, the telegram evidently being
a hoax. Galley is reported to be
in Michigan and the Gillette COM
pany states that reports are being
received from him regularly.

granite. 1t will be more than five
miles in length when completed and
will have a carrying capacity of

The work is being prosecuted
night and day, three eight-hour tun-
mel shifts being worked. There are
five different faces. A steam shovel
is stationed in each face and the
muck is hauled out on cars by
electric locomotives. Two locomo-
tives are at work in each face. The
accompanying illustration gives a
good idea of the huge size of the
tunnel holding a standard guage
and a narrow guage railway tracks.
The work is ON the San Joaquin
River in Fresno County. The COM
pany is very progressive and has the
