Evidently Kemal has not been re.
ceiving the aid he expected from the
Russian bOlshevists. Lenin and
Tr0tzky and their soviet crew are
themselves in hard straits due to the
rapid spread of famine and cholera
in Russia. They have appealed loud
ly for help, but the governments they
have so long flouted are deaf to their
calls. Even the United States, ul-
ways generous in response to the walls
Of the suffering, has told the soviet
government, through a note from Sec
retary Hoover, that any relief meas
ures would depend largely on the
treatment of the Americans held pris.
Oners by the bolshevists. THIS was re-
enforced by note from the State de-
partment formally and curtly demand
ing the release of those prisoners, and
the soviet rulers already had been told
there would be no consideration of
closer relations with Russia until the
Americans were set free.
The distress in Russia is such that
Trotzky has been given dictatOTial
powers to handle the situation, and
all government projects except those
for relief have been suspended.

The Illinois scandal, or comedy
whichever way you look at it-had an
amazing development when Governor
Small, indicted for elnbezzlement of
state funds, decided that he was i'm
lnune to arrest during his term in Of

state troops to protect himself. His
lawyers, appearing before Judge Smith
Of Springfield as "amici curiae," ad-
vised the court that the governor was
immune, ridiculously basing their as.

king can do no wrong" The judge
humored their solemn dignity with a
long and erudite opinion, in which he
completely riddled their position

Mr.. Small is still at large, comforting

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
NEVADA HAS SEEN IN YEARS
ANDREW BURKE, OF RENO, sE.
CURES LEASE IN NEW
SILVER CAMP.

Andrew J. Burke, OF Reno, Me-
Vada, recently visited Silverhorn and
was so enthused over the immense
showlrgs of ore, that he acquored
lease upon block of ground SO feet
and located not far from the No. 1
Shaft. Mr.. Burke stated that he had
been to all the new discoveries since
the days of the Comstock and that
he had r'ever in all his experience
cen such large outcrop of ore sus
1eptible to profitable reduction. He
stated that when mill once started
operations that it would r,ever get
through handling all the ore on the
nil. He considers the discovery the
most important that Nevada has seen
FOR years, and believes that it will
prove the largest the country has
over seen. This opinion from Mr.
Burke who Is krown for his con-
servism, and his success as a prac-
'cal mine operator only goes to cor
roborate the opinions of the many
engineers who have visited the
camp.

need for a garage is indicated by
the many cars which are seen
around the camp, having been run

COMPANY IS PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

Henry Pollard. of Los Angeles, re-
Gently completed the survey of the

by the Silverhorn Mining & Develop
ment company. This property has
rapidly developed into ore of the
most attractive groups in the new
camp. Recent prospecting and open
ing up of the many showings indi-
Gated very larse silver ere body.
Plans are now being made for the
extensive blocking of the ore expos ed
at the purface. In places this ore
outcrops for over thirty feet at the
surface. The development of two
springs which are upon this property
has been under way for several days.
Upon this group recently was made
discoveries of major Importance
to the camp. Samples taker from a
location where little or no work had
been done indicated high grade orc.
The prospecting work was carried to
the sinking of small shaft where
Il sample taken showed 26.5 ounces
OF silver to the ton. The next day
the samplir,g showed ore assayng
1922 ounces of silver to tho ton. The
discovery Of this high-grade upon
undeveloped ground Immediately
insiled the pospectors and the next
day the hills were covered with men
with picks and shovels. The result
was a general discovery of ore over
q wide territory including many
samples taken In the vicinity Of the.
Silver Carlisle, and Peerless Silver
properties. Work upon the Nickle
group has been held to prospecting,
with most favorable results, and aft
er the discovery of the high grade
little information was issued from
those interested in the group. 1t is
understood that ]. c. Weir of New
York City has acquired an interest in
this property. and that extensive de-
velopment is planned upon 1t. The
day after the discovery, the parties
at Sllverhorn in charge of opera
tions increased the force. The
Nickel group covers an outcrop SIM
liar in character to that of the Ne
vada Silver Horn ard the Silver
Dale properties. 1t is parellel and
outcrops very prominently as do the
showingB upon the two mentioned
properties. The concensus of opir-
ion as expressed by geologists and
engineers is that development will
disclose ore bodies no less in impor |
tance than those found upon the Dale
and tho Nevada Silver Horn. The
Silverhorn Mining and Development
company owns this group and ar
rangements are being made for the
development upon the property.

sented to show that a quantity Of

OF Phoebe. On behalf of the pro-
testants, it was further shown that a

classes OF ore can. reasonbly be AK
pected in the near future, which will
nave the effect Of stimulating ore
shipments from Phoebe to a markeo

After careful consideration Of
