CANYON CROSSCUTS

A force OF twenty-five men are now
working on the Pittsburg tramway for
the Bruno Mining Co. It is to be
hoped the fair weather will continue

ting the tramway in operation. The
loading station down at the road Is
nearing completion and the cabin
at the mine IL built under an over
hanging ledge. which will protect II
from danger in the Winter.
The Pacific miners are said to have
opened a vein with three crosscuts
which proves II to be 800 feet long.
II lies parallel to the main tunnel
and IL fissure in the quartzite and

and to contain chiefly milling ore.

silver. II is learned that the miners
are now repairing the lower tunnel
which will be extended into the lime
formation and vigorous search made
for the assures which have been
productive Of ore OF much value in
the quartsite.
In Alta and other mining districts
II seems to be the custom where
fissure In the quartzite is developed
to Immediately follow II into the
lime formation which is more solu-
able for the formation Of replacement

they will encounter the lime in few
days at a distance of 400 feet from
the portal OF the main tunnel and
about 600 feet underground.

Germans Pick Up
Business Threads
War Lost in China

London-( Corresponding of The
Associated Press) The Germans are
gradually returning to China and pick
ing up the threads of their former
business; not trading for the present
under their own names, but in part
nership with Chinese, says a report
on the commercial situation of emma:
by III. H. Fox, commercial counselor OF
the British legation in Pekins.
German dyes and paints, needles.
metals, drugs and sundries are begin
ming to appear on the Shanghai mar
ket. the report goes on, and it is stat
ed that several important orders for
machinery and electric plants have re-
Gently been booked by German firms.
There is no doubt, the report says,
that the Germans. assisted by the com
parative cheapness of their products,
will gradually recover the share they
hold in China's foreign trade before
the war. but the process will be slow,
as they have lost valuable connections
the business organizations they had SO
laboriously built up have been shat
tered. and they have suffered serious
loss of prestige in the eyes of the
Chinese.

Charm Guards Life
of Last of Wild
Cattle in Hawaii

Honolulu.-(Correspondence of The
Associated Pressl. Hunters and
poachers gradually are clearing the
wilder sections Of the Hawaiian archi-
pelago of all game. but the charm that
guards the life of "Bipi', last of the
wild cattle resulting from the herds
started here by visiting explorers years
ago. still is potent, according to the
tales told by hunters from the island
of Kauai, "Bipi's" stamping ground. !.
"Bipi" is white marked bull and
is an excellent target. hunters say.
early every hunter who has visited
Kauai is believed to have taken at
least one shot at him. and numerous
traps have been set for him. but he
has evaded both bullets and guile.
"Bipi" is king of the A!akai swamp
mt the head of the Katalau valley,
where scores of pursuers were held
at bay by an escaped leper years ago.
He ranges the hills and dales monarch
of all he surveys" despite all efforts
to end his life.
Officials of the Hawaiian fiSb and
game commission said that "Bipi' is
the last known descendant in the
territory of the cattle that were placed
on the islands of Kauai md Hawaii
by Captain Cook, the British navagat-
or, who met his death on his second
visit to these islands.

New York Employees Business
Methods to Solve Problem
of Domestic Service.

New York-(Correspondence OF the
Associated Pressl.-New York is en-
ploying business methods to solve its
problem of domestic services.
The long vacant place of the old
fashioned servant is being taken by
hour week and going and coming to
work each day as a stenographer or
factory workers. She also buys her
own meals and expects her employers
to address her as Mrs" or Miss"
The reluctance of women since the
war to engage in housework and do
mestic services at wages which fam
lies of moderate means can pay led a
group of New York women to investl-
gate the problem They found that
women revolted from domestic service
because of the long hours of labor,
lack of definition of their tasks, un-
certainty of their hours of recreation
and the feeling that certain SOCIAL
stigma was attached to their posi-
|, tons"
On Business Basis.
The result of the investigation was
a determination to put housework on
business basis and make it as dignl-
fled an occupation as office or factory.
The women who have been attracted
to homework ON the home assistant
basis receive $40 week for 43 hour
week They get Sundays and holidays
or their equivalent time off and a va
cation of two weeks with pay at the
end of a years work. They are paid
over time at specified rate.
A weekly schedule of household
tasks in the employers home is ar
ranged that will keep the worker busy

She quits at noon and goes out for
her lunch. When the days work is
ended she leaves for her own home

Bureau Is Organized.
The success of the new venture led
the investigators to organize the bu-
reau of household occupations which
acts as clearing house for the home

workers and their employers can have
difficulties adjusted as they may arise
Mrs. Richard Boardman. Mrs. George

NEW REGIME FAILS
To GAIN PATRONAGE
Of RUSSIAN READER
Damain Bednie, ''The Poor Is
Supreme Writer of Pr0pa-
ganda Verse.

Moscow-(C Corresponding Of The
Associated Press).-Demian Bedni, the
poet laureate of the Kremlin, is far
more of a popular favorite than Robert
Bridges, the British poet laureate.
Demian is his family name and Bedni
means ''The Poor" But he is far from
being poor in the generally accepted
sense. He has a good apartment at
the Kremlin, travels on special cars and
enjoys great distinction.
He was well known as a poet before
the revolution but rides Pegasus SO
skillfully under orders and is so sue
cessful as q writer of propaganda verse
and SO good an orator that he has been
very useful to Trotzky and other lead
ers He frequently travels about with
prominent bolshevist chieftains and has
found much favor with the red army,
to which he reads his political verses:
Demian is robust, typical Russian
of 40, who has great physical strength
and personality and is not compelled to
rely on eccentriciies of dress or man
ner to attract attention.
The revolution brought out large
crop Of new poets and near-poets, who
cast aside all the traditions OF old Rus
sian versemakers and announced that
art would throw off its shackles. They
Immediately scrapped Pushkin and the
other old favorites of the Russian pub
lie. They went in for vers libre. But
the public failed to follow.
The imaginist poets have their own
cafe. They call it "The Stall OF Pc
gasus." Long haired bards with low
tnecked shirts and soulful eyes read their
poetry there. But foreigners who don t
understand Russian make up majority
of the audiences Cherchenivitch and
Yesenyin are probably the best known
of this group. There is also group of
proletarian poets headed by Alexan-
dreffsky.
But on the whole rhymeless, rhythm
less poetry hasn't been a great success
and the average man insists upon hay-
ing jingles. He may be a communist
or bolshevist in politics but in litera-
| ture he clings to old writer's and In art
to old painters.
| Vereschagin and Repin still hold their
own in the art galleries in spite OF
struggling artists who have tried to
convince the public that it must aban-
don everything old in order to live uI
fully to the new freedom.
Gorky and Chekoff have not beer
driven from the theater by the flood OF
propaganda plays which have been of
fered. The failure of the new regime
to produce any especially notable nov
els, poems, operas or plays is attribut-
ed by the bolsheyist leaders to sabotage
on the part of workers in various ar
/ tistic lines

Civilization Kills
Marquesas Islands
Natives, Says Savant

Houolulu.-(Correspondence of The
Associated Press.-Tremendous de-
creases in the native population of the
Maruuesas islands, 1900 miles south
hv east of the Hawaiian archipelago,

disease and the adoption of many mod
