WILL SUPPORT SIS PER BARREL
MINIMUM PRICE FOR SOUTH
ERIN RICE.
SIGNED BY THIRTY BANKERS
The 1920 Crop Has Been Produced
With Labor and Other Expenses at
the Highest Peak, and Many
Farmers Will Lose.

Jennings, La -sAt meeting in
Crowley of the bankers OF Southwest
Louisiana who are vitality interested
in the rice industry, an agreement was
signed by about thirty bankers, which
means that they will lend every as
sistance possible in financing and car
rying maturing paper Of farmers ana
planters now held by these lnstltu-
tions. so that the rice will be mar
keted in an orderly way and IN
manner that will result in as small
loss as possible to the rice grower.
The situation with reference TO the
marketing of the present crop has
been so serious as to warrant the pro-
ducers inexerting every effort to OBJ
tain a price for their product that will
in some way, reimburse them for the
actual expense put out on the present
crop. The 1920 rice crop has been
produced with labor and other eX-
penses at the highest peak. and many
farmers at the present price will not
be able to pay expenses.
The agreement entered into by
institutions is as follows:
"First-The recent drop in prices OF
all staple commodities has carried rice
with it to a point far below the cost
of production to the average farmer.
"Second-The 1920 rice crop has
been financed and in another week
will practically be In the warehouse in
splendid condition.
"Third-We believe that there is a
point below which rice should not be
sold
"Fourth-The Southern Rice Grow
situation by setting a price of So per
barrel for No. l and No. Blue Rose
as a basis rrice for the 1920 crop in
order to admit of large domestic and
export movement.
"Fifth-We, therefore, representing
the financial interests in the rice ag-
ricultural territory of Southwest
Louisiana advocate and will sustain a
plpan to stand behind a movement to
support the basis price set by the
Southern Rice Growers Association
OF IS per barrel for No. and No. 2
Blue Rose.
I'VE believe this place is so far be
! low cost to the farmer, that in order
| to protect all interest, we respectful
| ly urge all farmers, bankers, mer
chants, warehousemen and millers to
stand ythis figure as the basic price

COURT
PLAN IS APPROVED
The League of Nations Coun-
ell Adopts EIihu Roots
Suggestions.

Brussels.-The council of the league
Of nations approved Wednesday the
plan for a permanent court OF inter
national justice as adopted by The
Hague committee of jurists, except
provision for obligatory jurisdiction
and some minor matters.
Those parts of the plan generally
attributed to Elihu Root, former Am
erican secretary of state, were ac-
cepted.
The council decided it could not rec
ommend to the assembly plan going
farther than the covenant, which pro
yides that both parties to dispute
must give their consent to bring their
case into court The question OF the
compulsory adherence of a defending
nation will, however, be submitted tc
study to all the legal associations, IN
Guiding the American institute Tor IN
ternational law, along with other
points that may come up, as suggested
by Mr.. Root.
Opinions of the associations Will De
asked with regard to the holding OF
another international law conference
The decisions Of the court Will not
bind nations nor parties to case and
hence they will not constitute prece'
dents. The language used by the
court will depend on the choice OF the
parties at issue, but French and Eng
fish have been recommended as the
official languages.

Railroad Strike Has Stopped Coal
Shipments, But Work I'm Mine

The switchmen's strike has caused
a complete cessation of coal ship

100 tons has arrived this week, that
amount having been delivered in Pal
isade before the railroad men went
out. There is, however. a consider

now kept up for operating the hoist
at the LOGAN shaft, where repair work
is being done in the shaft and station
on the 900 level.
The ore along the tracks has been
cleared up and shipped to the smell
ter. Surface work preparing the
buildings and yards for the demands
OF full crew OF men continues. Two
large water tanks are to be placed
on the hill above the main plant for
fire protection, and excavation for
the foundations of these tanks is now
in progress.
Men are gradually being added to
the pay roll as the work proceeds,
and with no further unfavorable con-

1t will not be long before a complete
force will be assembled.

UNCLE SAM MINING
PROPERTY PURCHASED
r. T. Torpey and San Francisco
Associates Will Start De-
veloping Mine in
Near Future

The Uncle Sam Consolidated pat
ented mining property was purchased
from Mrs. H. M. Schneider the past
week by F. T. Torpey of San Fran
cisco, for himself and San Francisco
associates. Development work on
the property will be started In the
near future. Mr.. Torpey said. and the
old tunnel which was driven a dis
tance of about 400 feet by DIR. f. J.
Schneider nearly 40 years ago, for
the purpose OF intersecting the main
ore zone, will be driven about $50 or
200 feet further. penetrating the ore
bodies and giving backs of about IT'S
feet.
Situated on Porspect Mountain, ap-
proximately three and a half miles
south of Eureka, the Uncle Sam Con-
solidated is considered by mining men
who know its merits as one of the
best properties here. The Hamburg
mine adjoins 1t on the south, and the
Eureka Croesus and Helen Mortimer
on the north. 1t is an established
fact that the Uncle Sam Consolidated
contains the same ore zone and lode
for a distance of 1885 feet that is
now producing high grade ore on the
Connolly claim of the Eureka-Croe-
sus, and the Helen Mortimer, and
also the ore that was extracted from
the Hamburg in its early days. The
main ore zone Is plainly visible the
entire distance through this property.
all of 1t is virgin ground.
A corporation to be known as the
Eureka Uncle Sam Consolidated Min
ing Company will be organized at
once to handle the property, Mr.. Tor
pey said. He made a thorough in.
Spection Of the property, having been
here a number of days before the
deal was made, and has every reason
to believe that 1t is real mine. ITO
say the least am highly pleased with
my success in securing the property"
he declared. 'I am certain that it
will, with very little expenditure of
capital, prove to be one of the biggest
producers of the Eureka district"
Speaking of the general prosperity
and future of Eureka, he continued:
Judging from what the district has
produced in the past. and the new
developments now being started and
going on, l will say that it will i'm
press any mining man who visits it
as being a mining camp with great
merits, and predict thattexhnetcxgo
m narifc and prodief that tho povt
year will prove it to be one of the
biggest producers of silver. gold. and
lead in the world"
Mr.. Torpey is president of the
Kingman Silver Gold Mining Com
pany at Kingman, Arizona, and also
of the Black Mammoth Mining Com
pany at Manhattan, Nevada.

ACTIVITIES OF PAST
WEEK ENCOURAGING

A hint Of the bustling activity pre-
dicted for Eureka with the coming of
real Spring weather was seen in the
mining developments of the past
week, which were very satisfactory in
spite of the wintry days that ham
pered outdoor work. The transfer
OF various properties indicate that by
the time Spring Is we'll under way
practically every mine, as well as
prospect. in this district will be given
a chance to give it's wealth to the
country.
The Uncle Sam Consolidated was
purchased and will be worked. Sew
eral valuable mining claims were OBJ
tanned by the Eureka-Nevada Mining
Company and added to their holdings
on Prospect Mountain. The machin-
cry for developing the Eureka South
Holly ground arrived and will be in
stalled soon, and likewise the Holly
Extension machinery will soon be in
place on that property.
These are some of the activities
that were generally known. In ad-
dition there are some that have only
reached certain stages of materializ-
ing. For instance, 1t is fairly GER
tain that within a few days or weeks
the Diamond will be taken over and
work started soon. The same is true
OF the Hamburg. In fact. we have
information that both these proper
ties are well on their way of being
purchased by mining interests, and
that the coming Summer Will see the
old wealth-producers back on the Job
again. The same is true Of various
other mines near Eureka, some of
them already famous for their pro-
duction, and others still to win their
spurs.
These various advances were made
in spite Of the Wintry weather that
handicapped business in general, and
what will happen when good weather
really sets in, and the roads to Eu-
reka become in good condition, will
fulfill even the rosiest predictions. So
far the deals have been made by
those wishing to avoid the rush by
coming early.

REMAINS OF HUMAN BEING
FOUND IN PROSPECT HOLE

Buried scarcely more than two feet
deep, the remains of a human being
were unearthed in the Cedars last
week by the Johnson boys. Oliver and
Ted, about a mile north of town and
approximately 100 feet west of the
road going down the ridge through
the Cedars. DR.. Charles Mantor went
10 the spot Tuesday and examined the
bones declaring them to be those of
a human being, but did not make a
thorough enough inspection to say
whether of man or a woman.
The body had been buried in an old
prospect hole, and was wrapped in a
hair mattress or wrap. The hair
from the mattress is easily identified.
The Johnson boys said, but the only
other evidence of the clothing worn
by the person was the buttons and
waist band found, indicating that
they had come off of blue denim over
alls, supporting the theory that it is
the remains of man. Although no
trinkets were found, II is possible
that the bones are those OF an Indian,
as they were often buried in that
manner. The prospect hole in which
the remains were found is shallow
now, although 1t is thought to have
been seven or eight feet deep when
the body was buried. but has since
caved in.
Some persons believe that 1t might
3e the remains of a man named jack
son who suddenly disappeared some
thing like 40 years ago. Jackson
was a gambler. and 1t is recounted
that one night about 1880 he made
unusually large winnings in one Of
the saloon poker games here. after
which he went to call on a woman
friend. Those who knew him declared
that he was never seen again. So this
is one conjecture concerning the Incl,
dent. Whether any effort will be
made to identify the remains is not
yet known.
