NO NEW YEARS RUSH FOR
STATES MINING MEN

The customary rush to mining
claims on the evening of New Year
to protect non-patented property is
an absent feature this year and the
mine owner and prospector can
rest in peace and forget his claim
until the July sun beats down.
The change in time for doing
annual assessment work and filing
of proofs of labor is one OF the
appreciated facts made possible BY
recent federal law enactment.

figured prominently in Cheka activi-
ties may never be able to persuade the
average Russian that they have really

Umslicht is at the present moment
the man who is generally supposed to
be the active head Of the Mheka. He
has his office IN the central headquar-
tiers of tie organization, which occupies
a large office building in the business
center OF MOSCOW, overlooking the
kremlin walls.
The Cheka building is six stories high
and is triangular in shape with a court
in the center. Much of the space
facing the court has been turned into
cells and is the Lubianl1a prison, where
most important political prisoners are
kept
Rumor has it that executions take
place in the cellar Of this building, and
pedestrians often report that they have
heard shots when walking near the
building. Muscovites seldom walk
close enough to the Cheka headquar-
ters to hear cannon shots in the cellar.
The streets adjoining it are not popu-
lar promenades.

boishevik government has named to be
the go-between for the American relief
administration and the kremlin, is a

LESLIE UROUHART
GIVES HIS VIEWS
EneIishman Says Foreigners Cannot
Do Business in Russia While
Chelka Has Power.


MOSCOW, Dec. 1o.-Leslie Urqu-
hart's recent announcement in London
that no foreigners will ever be able to
do business in Russia while the
Cheka Commission to suppress coun-
ter-revolutions), holds its present
power. has become generally known in
Soviet, Russia, and has attracted much
attention.
Mr.. UrGuhart was recently in Russia
negotiating with the commisariat for
foreign trade to take over extensive
mining properties and metal works,
many of which he controlled before
the revolution. While the negotiations
peared in the conference room. Mr..
Urquhart inquired who he was.
"Oh, that's the representative OF the
Cheka,' was the reply
But / am not dealing with the
Cheka and shall not discuss business
before this man" the Englishman pro-
tested.
Leonid Krassin, minister of COM
merce. explained that the Chekas were
privileged to be represented at all con-
.ferences.
Mr.. Urquhart was obdurate The
Cheka man refused to leave until tele-
phone instructions from the Chelxa
headquarters withdrew him.
Diplomats and commercial represen-
tatives selected by the chiefs at the
Krer1lin to go abroad are passed on
by the Cheka, and a large percentage
Of the appointments are never con-
firmed.
Even the crowd which stands at the
head of the soviet government and is
privileged to live within the historic
walls Of the kremlin is reported to be
powerless against the super govern
ment which has grown up about the
Cheka.
At one time Djerjinsl1i and Jacob
Peters and the other men who figured
as the heads of Cheka activities when
the red terror took place, were regarded
as dummies raised to take blame which
the commissioners who make up the
council, or cabinet and members of the
central executive committee did not
wish to shoulder.
