PLUMAS COPPER FIELD

QUINCY, Cal, Nov 9 (by Associat- ed Press .)-Staring with a small dis covery less than ten years ago, and without any of the spectacular strikes and stampeles which mark the history of most mining regions, the Plumas copper field is forging to the front as GIG of the greatest in the west if not America. For a number of years the field was thought to be small and probably limited to the original deposit dis covery With two mines 10 miles apart producing millions of pounds of copper annually and scores of 3strikes in wildly scattered sections made in prospect shafts or by dia- mond drilling, this theory has new been abandoned and the belt is now declared to extend from within three miles of Reno, Nevada, across Plumas county and well into Shasta county, California, a distance of more than 100 miles with lateral limits of at least ten miles.

HEARINGS START TO-DAY
limitations That Bills Are Sent
to Committees for Burial I'm
til After Election Denied

Washington. March 2-Representa-
tives of the American Legion appear
ing today before the House Ways and
Means Committee at initial hearings
on a mass of bills designed to help
to the popular characterization of SOL
der relief legislation as government
bonus
After a flareup over procedure and
charges and denials that the bills were
sent to committees for burial until af-
ter the November elections, the COM
mittee met in executive session and
agreed to hear all witnesses starting
tomorrow.
Taking up for the first time the
whole question of soldier relief Iegis-
lation, the House Ways and Means
Committee got into a row over pro-
cedure and broke up in some con-
fusion after members had repeated
charges made in the house that the
measures had been sent to the COM
mittee for burial.
After many heated exchanges be-
tween members the committee ordered
the room cleared of the crowd of spec
tators and then in executive session
finally decided to continue hearings
tomorrow.
Before the sudden termination of the
mander of the American Legion and
Thomas w. Miller chairman of the
national legislative committee pre-
scented briefly an outline of what the
organization sought from congress.
Both declared service men were not
asking for a bonus and Miller as
serted that 100000 soldiers, directly
affected. were closely watching con-
sideration of the matter of adjust
ment compensation.
Al The legion ass he told tie COM
mittee, '.is as liberal treatment as is
consistent with the welfare of the
whole country"
"An overwhelming majority of ex
service men feel strongly that this
government owes an obligation to all
persons who were handicapped either
bodily or financially the national
commander declared. adding that dis
abled men wanted relief legislation
ito the end that they would no longer
be objects of private charity"
Land settlements covering farms in
all states, aid to encourage purchase
of homes, vocational training and ad-
justment of compensation based on
length of service for those not de-
string to avail themselves of the other
three features.
The American Legion" Mr.. d'Olier
said, asks nothing in its selfish in
terests at the expense of the country,
but at the same time does not, feel
that his obligation to ex-service men
and women should be altogether
passed by at this time and all econ
omizing done at the expense of the
ex- service men.
More than fifty bills relating to
bonuses were before the committee
when it began its hearings on the
whole question of soldier relief.

SEVENTH ship
MAKES PLUNGE
Launching Yesterday Declared
to Be Most Successful Ever
Made From Local Plant.

In the presence of about 1 800 people
the City of Vernon went into the water
for her maiden dip at the Pensacola
Shipbuilding Co. plant yesterday after
noon. The big ship went down the
ways ; minutes before O'Clock and 1t
was declared one Of the most success
full launchings ever held at the plant.
The City of Vernon is the seventh
ship to be completed by the company
and is the second one to be as nearly
completed as possible when launched.
The City of Sherman, launched in jan
uary, was the first ship to be launched
which had been completely finished
with the exception of minor machinery,
painting and finishing. The launching
at that time being so successful and
the ship ready for the government in
so short time after being launched.
it was decided to follow that example
on the remaining ships to be completed
at the local yards.
The big ship was go per cent COM
plete when launched yesterday after
noon and she was built along the lines
Of her sister ships at this plant. The
City Of Vernon is 1000 ton, all-steel,
and is guaranteed to make 10 knots.
All the ships launched have been sue
cessful from the building standpoint.
though engine trouble has developed in
some OF them, it is said, through no
fault Of the local plant.
The City of Vernon was chriStened
by Miss Mary Ann Cowley, daughter
OF the superintendent OF bulls and fab
rication. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Irene Cowley. Guests OF
the launching party included Mrs. Paul
Stewart. wife Of the president of the
plant; Mrs. Frank Crenshaw, Mrs. H. r.

Campbell.

MAJORITY REPORT

The committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce to ascertain the
need for municipal docks and belt line
in Pensacola, and to-consider matters
ia>, seenAeetion---the rewithx has made
every effort to secure advice from
those having knowledge of the subject.
(see letters and papers hereto at
tached).
The conclusion reached from a study
of this information is:
L. A municipal dock would be adj
vantageous to the city but not neces-
sary at this time.
2. The 100000 authorized in 1912 for
a municipal dock is entirely inadequate
at this time to build dock which
would be of benefit to the city, or its
shipping.
8. The report of the auditor of the
city's books to October 4. 1919. shows
that the city is in no condition to as
sumo additional Liabilities.
1t should be borne in mind that since
the 100000 dock and belt line bonds

trio Bayshore line, and the L.. : \. r..
r.. these providing a belt line privately
owned.
That the city's floating debt as well
as its bonded indebtedness has been
largely increased.
That the city's present revenues are
only sufficient to take care or It's
yearly budget, little if anything, being
left to reduce the floating debt which
seems to be increasing each year.
That the city is already bonded for
'iOTo OF assessment galues, percentage
which is considered by bond houses
and financiers as high as IS consistent
with s;lety
That no increase in revenue seems
possible for the city without a ma
terial increase in taxes, which are al
ready burdensome.
That the experience Of privately
owned docks does not warrant the as
sumption that earnings would be sur
ficient to take care of more than
small percentage of the expenses, in
terest and sinking fund and the deficit
would have to be provided for out of
ordinary city revenue.
We recommend:
That the 100000 dock and belt line
bonds be not sold as the amount would
not provide the dock and belt line con-
templated when authorized.
That, if a municipal dock and belt
line is considered necessary at this time
that the citizens be given an oppor-
tunity of voting for, or against, bonds,
for a sufficient amount to provide
same.
That steps be taken by the Chamber
of Commerce to secure an agreement
by and between the various owners Of
docks and rail lines within the city
which would insure reasonable rates
and service for all exporters, importers
and shipping lines.

Illinois Republicans Are Badly
Split Between Leonard Wood

Mitchell, s. D., March 2.-Senator

for the Republican nomination for
president charging that the expedi-
ture of money in the South Dakota
primary is such as has seldom been
seen in any campaign in any state.
TT is obvious said Johnson, that
this state has become a tremendous
battle ground of wealth, power and
financial resources of my two leading
opponents. He said he could not COM
pete in such contests, but was pitting
whatever ability, courage, energy and
character that God has given me
against wealth, influence and power of
organized politics and organized big
business in politics.

acterizing as offensive the Geographic
request from the committee that they
support Wood for presidential nomina-
ton or else name someone in each dis
trict who would. The delegation also
said they are for Governor Lowden.
