authoritative Information, Japan is
greatly increasing its air forces.

British disposal board airpIane ma
terial, principally engines, valued

Japanese pilots at the rate of thir-
ty.s every six weeks. The aero
factory is working at war capacity
on Japanese orders, but it's inability
to MI all it's contracts has resulted
in a decision to establish q factory
in Japan. s.e II

ing British airplane designers. is

BUENoS AIRES. April ls.-The
Argentine government is evidently
determined not to intervene in the
Martha Washington incident de-
spite protests from the Upited
States.
Members of the cabinet are play
ing chess with American govern
ment representatives. The foreign
minister refers them to the finance
minister. who, in turn, insists that
the case must be decided by Presi-
dent Irigoyen. 1t was stated in the
foreign office this morning that
Foreign Minister Pueyrredon had
gone to this country and had not
left any one authorized to act.
The Undersecretary of Foreign
Affairs stated that he knew nothing

note to the ministry, repeating the
verbal protest, requesting an i'm

Skilling's Mining Review The
Section 80 niine, VermiGon range,
has been allowed to fill with water,
temporarily, and all underground
work is stopped for this year. For
some time no mining has been under
way, the only activity being explora-
tory diamond drilling, chiefly from
the 435-ft. level 1t seemed unnec-
essary to keep the pumps going for
this, work, and the drills have been
placed on surface, for the contin-
uance of their work.
Drilling is meeting with success,
in that the ore bodies at depths of
from 500 to 1900 feet are being
extended by the work, and the com
pany is more than ever convinced of
the presence of large iron ore depos-
its at depth. To reach these a new
shaft must be sunk, and this work is
unadvisable at present. 1t is fully
expected that underground opera
tions will be resumed, probably next
winter. In the meantime the Sec
ton Thirty location will be rather
quiet, with nothing but drilling going
on.
