while the development work In

s,nloriug the old Dunderberg work
,,ss has continued without abate-
mept. BY climbing down ropes for
distance Of $50 feet. q level not
heretofore known was reached last
vsek. Following this level and then
climbing on ropes through an up

vay through old drifts more or less
eayed, Superintendent Huebner with
his men was able to reach the bot
lam OF the old Atlas shaft, which he
found In surprisingly good condition.
and will require but little work to
put 1t in commission.

u was the determined policy Of
the company at the beginning Of Its
spsrations here to use the Catlin
shaft to open up and explore the
southern end of its properties and
rom 1t to drive levels to connect
With the old workings. This work
has proceeded SO far that q very
hrye amount Of virgin ground has
BEEN opened and prospected and enor-
nous quantities of excellent ore
brought into sight, and the old work.
ings have now been reached in sew
eral places. Simultaneous with the
building OF the smelter, the Atlas
shaft will be put In order. the old
drifts and levels cleaned out and the
great quantity of ore left In the old
mines will then be available for i'm
mediate extraction for smelling.
A high grade ore body was struck
during the week In a new winze. 80
feet deep at the north end of the 400
level. This ore body is at present
two feet by six and has the appeaf-
ance OF widening into large body.
The peculiar feature Of the 400
lsvel is that practically all OF the
many high grade ore bodies that
have been found In 1t were struck
on top. Such was the case
OF the bonanza ore body struck
last August and so IL has been with
nearly every one since. This indi-
sates that the ore is coming from
great depth and that as large as the
ore showing is above the 400 level,
i will be found to be much larger
md richer at greater depth.
Ore shipments continued through
'ut the week. The new compressor
md hoisting plant will soon be put
y place. when more extensive work
VII be begun than has heretofore
been carried on In the mine.

EUREKA-PRINCE MINING
COMPANY BEING ORGANIZED
VIII Take Over and Operate the Old
Silver Lick Properties

The Silver Lick properties recent.
iy purchased by Eugene Davis from
Harris & Fine will be transferred to
the Eureka-Prince Mining Company
which Is now being organized. Upon
completion OF the organization the
property will be transferred and ac-
tive work will be started on the prop
erty. A two compartment shaft will
be sunk to catch the known ore body
on the incline and the mine will be
thoroughly prospected and developed
with the view Of bringing the largest
possible tonnage into sight by the
time the smelter is completed. The
ores In this property are highly ST.
icious and will be very valuable for
combining with the ores Of the Eu-
reka-Croesus in smelling. The Eu-
reka-Croesus now has three com
plete power plants. and 1t is under
stood that one OF them will be sold
to the Eureka-Prince Company.
The old Silver Lick property has a
magnificent record as a producer of
very high grade ores and It is be-
heved that when greater depth is at
tained these ore bodies will be found
to be much larger. The high grade
ore streak in the bottom of the mine
now is about four feet wide. Aver
age samples Of this ore run from$165
to over 500. There is a large quan-
tity of ore Of sufficient value left
standing in the mines to make it very
profitable when smelling begins. and
there are thousands of tons of smell
ter ore on the various dumps in the
property. The new owners conf
IDENTIFY expect big things when great
or depth is reached. The large amount
of ground owned permits OF very ex-
tensive development and exploration,
which under the new ownership will
be systematically and vigorously pros
ecuted.

SCHOOLS REOPEN MONDAY

Owing to an attendance of only
about SO "a of the pupils. and also
because two of the teachers were
slightly i'll. the Eureka schools were
closed last Monday. The small at

tion of bad weather and sickness
among the pupils families.
AS the teachers are now able to
resume their duties. the Board of
Trustees decided to open school Mon

D. c. COURT DEFENDS
| TENANT SUIT DELAY
Awaits Decision by Highest
Court, But Claims Right
Regardless of Appeal.

Chief Justice Walter I. Mccoy of
the District Supreme Court. through
Assistant Attorney General Henry Fl.
Classic. today filed in the Court OF
Appeals an answer to the petition
for mandamus brought some days ago
by Jacob Portion. through former Com
missioner w. Gwynn Gardiner. TO
compel the hearing of a motion for
summary judgment in a landlord and
tenant case.
The chief justice defends the ac-
ton Of the justices of the District
Supreme Court in postponing such
hearings under rule 19 until the
United States Supreme Court shall
pass on the validity of the Ball rent
law.
The tendency of a large number of
landlord and tenant cases in which
summary judgment was sought is
called to the attention of the appellate
court, and the chief justice asserts
that to entertain such motions would
result in manifest inconvenience and
embarrassment to the orderly conduct
of the public business of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia and
would be destructive of the effective
administration of justice in that
court in the event that the United
States Supreme Court should hold the
Ball act valid
This caused the general term to
make the order complained Of which
is declared to be proper exercise
of authority.
In the Portion case, it is also point
ed out. a petition to suspend pro-
ceedings pending action by the high
est court had been made even be-
fore the adoption of the order of post
ponement.
Although ordinarily bound to fol-
low a decision of the Court of APP
peals in a case presenting similar
facts, Chief Justice Mccoy says that
in the exercise of his judicial discre-
tion respecting the character of ju
dicial business, which for public con-
venience shall be first taken up in
his court, he deems himself at liberty,
upon his individual authority, to post
Pone hearings.

PHILADELPHIA, October 20.-A man
giving the name of Peter Mcmahon of
Yonkers, N. Y. with his wrists SCARED
by rope and his back bearing the
marks of a whip, left Inbound
Pennsylvania railroad train here
early today and sought the police for
medical attention. He says he was
few miles outside OF Trenton. s. c.,
aftef he attempted to assist Miss
Florence Powell Of Aiken, S. c.. in 4
settlement which involved division
of her fathers estate. His UNDER
clothing was stiff with blood and, be-
sides lash marks, his body and neck
bore the marks of ropes with which.
he said, his tormentors had attempted
to hang him. Police here are in
vestigating his story of attempted
lynching and mistreatment.
Mcmahon, who is fifty-five years
old, said he believed his assailants
were adopting methods Of the Ku-
Klux Klan. He said he was seized
when he left the train at Trenton,
8. c., and was driven into the coun-
try in an automobile. At the point
said. eight men wearing white hoods
gathered around and beat him.
Put Rope Around Neck.
They threw a rope around my neck,
then tried to put the other end over a
tree, but it would not reach" Nc
Mahon said at the Hahnemann Hos
pital today. After a severe beating
the men told me they had decided to
let me go.
'They blindfolded me-" Mcmahon
said, putting a hood over my head
exactly like the ones they wore, then
led me to an automobile and We drove
to a house where 1 was fed. They
called a physician to examine my
wounds.
'Then they drove me to Denmark.
S. C. They gave me money to buy my
ticket to New York, after making me
promise 1 would not return. All the
way from Denmark to Washington
some one came into the car OCCASION
ally and. after looking at me, retired
into another coach. This man acted
as guard to see that l did not leave
the train"
Mcmahon said he was too weak to
leave the train at Washington. He
told the police he was friend and ad-
wiser of Miss Powell. He said her
father lives at Aiken, and is president
of bank.
Father Divided Estate.
Recently, according to Mcmahon,
the father made a division of his
property among his children. Flor
ence Powell's share was $4,000. II
did not believe that sufficient" he
said, land she and 1 went to Aiken
last week to see If we could not get
a better share for her"
Mcmahon described his movements
in South Carolina, and the feeling en-
gendered by the interest he took in
the case which resulted in the alleged
mistreatment.
Mcmahon also said that when one
of the men beat him and asked if he
would sign paper saying Miss
Powell was incompetent to handle
her own or her fathers affairs, he
refused and was beaten with clubs.
A rope was tied around his neck, he
said, and he was dragged for a long
time.
No "White Cap" Activities.
COLUMBIA. S. c., October 20
Denial is made in telephone advices
from Aiken today that any white
CAP" activities have taken place in
Aiken or Edgefeld counties in con-
nection with the visit of Peter Nc
Mahon of Yonkers, N. Y. to that Sec
tion.

BY n. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK. October 2o-"One
more in the affirmative" and 1.-TWO
more in the negativet" cry the oppos-
ing national political managements as
they record accessions to their re-
spective ranks from the other party
on the issue of the league of nations.
Ii is remi niscent of taking a vote by
tellers in the House of Representa-
tives as the stragglers pass between
he tellers after the main body has
voted.
Every day one or the other of the
national committees issues list of
recruits. men and women, who have
left the other side. In doing so they
echo the rejoicing which the parable
IN Holy Writ affirms to exist when d
SINNER returns to the fold. Indeed.
there is more acclaim over the COM
ing OF one of these political wander
erS than over ninety and nine reg
ulars.
1t will be noted that in the vast
majority of these cases of changing
political fealty the subject is an in
tellectual, belonging to the clerical
professoral or literary class Only
occa sionally do the recruiters pick up
real live politician, such as the dem
ocrats found in Herbert Parsons and
the republicans in Mrs. Crosby. But
these intellectuals are supposed to
have following, and at any rate it
is assumed the example set by them
may influence others who are hesi-
tating.
Republicans Have Best of 1t.
Up to present writing the repub-
l1cans claim to have the best of the
bargain-not altogether so much in
What they have gained. but in the
losses they have prevented and in
what they have kept the other fell
lows from getting. For instance, this
morning when Senator Weeks, the
active head of the republican organ
lzation. in the absence of Chairman
Hays, spooned into his grapefruit at
breakfast the while he glanced at the
paper and noted the noble way in
which Elihu aRoot came across" in
his speech last night for Candidate
Harding and the latters stand on the
league of nations, he smiled-both the
taste of the grapefruit and the head
lines were grateful. No doubt the
democratic national managers found
their grapefruit a bit acid as they
perused the same reports of the meet
ings last night.
1t was great success, that meet

Democratic managers here are de-
lighted with the campaign their can
didate is making in New England
and especially with the aggressive-
ness with which Gov. Cox is throw
ing personalities into it. His spirited
attack last night on Senator Lodge
natinnaa IN tne iatsers own town delighted the
national managers. They say that is
the only course left for them in New
England. where everything seems
hopeiessly against democratic success
The democratic leaders also ap-
prove Candidate Cox's campaign of
Harding. They say their candidate is
showing pep and putting ginger
INTO the campaign and that he is
pursuing the good old tactics of the
active prosecutor in abusing the op-
posing counsel and holding him up to
ridicule.
The republican leaders characterize
Gov. Cox's performance as "the last
frantic fops of fish that has been
landed" They think the fish hasn't
even the run of the stream, but is
high and dry on land.
Sensible Of Reaction.
When the days work commences at
the two national headquarters here
the first feel of the democratic
managers is to detect whether they
have gained anything and how much.
The republicans read the water gauge
to ascertain if the tide has receded
from high water mark materially.
The democrats are still sensible of a
reaction in their favor. The repub-
licans find nothing in the present or
threatened extent of the reaction to
menace their presidential ticket in
any state.
The democratic claims for success
continue to be based on hope. The
republican confidence is not shaken
from its foundation of actual existing
prospects in so many states north Of
Mason and Dixon line as to war
rant belief that Cox will be the
worst beaten man since Alton b.
Parker's time"
