PROMISING GOLD PROPERTY,

J. L. Weimer and associates have been at work on a property near the old Burns ranch, west of Chloride. They have done a large amount of work and have opened up promising gold lead. This mine is in a new locality and it is claimed to have a vein 20 feet wide and carrying mill values in gold. Further developments on the property is awaited with much interest. ..- .'

RICH SAMPLES

A prospector named Parker this week brought, to Chloride wonderfully rich samples of gold rock that he claims to have found near Doling Springs, north of that place. Wheth- CT the vein has been discovered or not has not been ascertained. Some years ago the late Robert Meara found much float rock in that territory that was rich in gold, but was unable to find the vein.

CHANCE OF A LIFETIME

 "No, pardner," responded the small CT one gallantly. "We'll rob the gents but we'll leave the ladies alone"
 "Mind your own business, young fel- low" snapped a female passenger of uncertain age. "The big man is rob- ping this train"

American Mining Congress
 Endorses Boulder Canyon

Continued From Page sN A tion of the site at Diamond Canyon, which was partly investigated by him several years ago. This site would be of great value in the development of power, making it possible to create enough to operate all the copper and other mines of the state, and possibly the operation of several railroads. Any heighth of dam could be had there, the walls, rising about 5000 feet above the normal stage of the river, but the impoundment of water would not be great, the dam filling and creating a great artificial fall. Other dam sites may have some po- ,tential features, but none of them have the important value of Boulder Canyon. This proposed dam would be the last one possible above the possi- bility of irrigation and would carry the flow of every stream that empties into the Colorado, with the exception of the Bill Williams and the Gila. And as these streams are also to have their waters impounded for irrigation purposes, the amount of runoff from them would be negligible.
 Next month, at Riverside, Califor- mia, there will be a meeting of the League of the Southwest, at which many of the big men of the Nation are expected to be present, especial ly Sec. Fall and Director Davis. The whole subject of the Boulder Canyon dam will be discussed and an effort made to clear up the atmosphere. While this looks impossible at this time, it still may result in something tangible. As Los Angeles people are now lining up against any interfer- ence of that city in the governmental control of the Colorado river, and as they will one and all fight the control of that stream by the Southern Cali fornia Edison company, we may look to "hands off" program all around. This would clarify the situation and make the going for the government easy, as it would allow congressman who have been drawn into the em- broglio to act wisely in the matter.
 Again, at San Diego, it is expected that there will be a meeting of the farmers of Imperial Valley, at which government representatives will be present, to discuss the whole subject from the standpoint of the irrigation ist. As Imperial Valley is lined up for government control there is reason to believe that their wishes will have great weight with the men having the project within their disposition.
 But no matter who builds the great dam it will be built, and we expect to see the preliminary work under way the coming winter. This first work will consist of great tunnels through the necks of mountain form ing the walls of the canyon, through which; the waters of the river will be carried while the main channel Is having the footings put in. This work will have an important bearing on the whole structure and it is un- derstood that it will be in before the first high water drives the workers out. Following the fall of the river the work will be resumed and con- tinued to successful ending.

4 Message to Trappers:

We quote from leading St. Louis fur house the following:
 -. Prospects for the coming fur season look good at present and everything points to high prices and prosperity for the fur shipper, on the other hand we look for prices to decline later on and urge you to ship your furs to the market promptly. Don't forget that on account of low prices last year many trappers did not set out their traps tall and on this account the catch was very small; the reverse is true this season and there will be many new trappers in the field on ac- animals will be plentiful and this seasons catch will be big one." -
 Our stock of traps is large, our prices as low or lower than others. We need your business and will appreciate same Mail orders promptly filled. ..~} 4. g.r[ .

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Oct. 24.-Thcre is great
reason" to hope the rail strike will
be averted, according to statement
today by the United States labor
board, which also counselfed all
good Americans" to refrain from
loose talk about either side of the
controversy. The board announced
it does not intend to present any
plan for the settlement of the strike
and that such proposals must ema-
nate from the men or the railroad
executives.
At the conference beginning here
Wednesday, every player is expected
to put his cards face up on the table.
The federal labor board has engaged
the Coliseum annex, which seats ap-
proximately 1000. OF these, the
roads and unions will be allotted 400
seats and the remainder will be
thrown open to the public.
This is the first time the public,
which pays all the bills and endures
all the discomforts of strike, has
had an opportunity 10 SIT in. It is
believed the conferences will last
until next Sunday morning, the date
set by the brotherhoods for the gen.
/ eral strike. Five hundred general
ehairmen of the unions have been
summoned to attend and these en-
vitations" are practically mandatory.
These men occupy positions of m
f1uence and power in this situation
which makes their preesnce abso-
lutely necessary. Rail executives are
also expected to attend and there
will be no room left for passing
the buck"to absentees on either side.
Signalmen Won't Quit.
Additional complications arose for
the brotherhoods today when the
10000 members of the signalmen's
union refused to join in the strike.
They will remain at their posts, but
will refuse to be shifted to any other
duty to fill vacancies left by strikers.
Officers of the Railroad Telegraph
ers' union denied rumors that they
were near a break with the brother
hoods. President Manion said some
locals in his organization might con-
tinue at work, but he believed the
large majority of the telegraphers

Prospects Good
For Settlement
OF Irish Crisis
Message of De Valera to Pope
Benedict Nearly Precipi.
tates Breaking Off of
Peace Negotiations.
NJ The AssocIated Press.

+ London, Oct 24.-The first real
crisis in the Irish conference, caused
by Eamon de Valera's assertion oi
Ireland's independence in his mes
sage to Pope Benedict last week, is
not healed, but there are hopes, il
not prospects, that it may be
smoothed over or compromised.
Representatives of the British gov
ernmcnt and OF the Dali Eireann con-
ferred nearly three hours today, and
this question was the only one before
the conference, which adjourned until
4 p. m. tomorrow.
Ultimatum Is Given.
The government is understood to
have placed before the Sim Fein
delegates its ultimatum, or declara-
tion, that Great Britain will deal with
Sim Fein ireland only as a part Of
the British Empire and not with rep
resentatives of the Sim Fein as
plenipotentiaries Of an independent
republic.
Premier Lloyd George made the
governments policy clear to the
house of commons. He said Mr.
De Valera's message was a grave
challenge" that the governments
position on that question (meaning
independence had been made clear
and that the conference could not
proceed on any other basis.
Settlement Is Possible.
The business Of today's conference
was described as an attempt to agree
on formula which would carry the
conference over the apparent dead
lock.
Mr.. De Vaiera's claims of Ireland's
independence in preliminary cores
pondcnce with Lloyd George appar-
emily were compromised by a tactic
agreementto avoid any discussion of
them, butfapparently the issue has
reached a, state where avoidance Of
the subject, or a compromise is al
most impossible. Whatever optim-
ism that was discernible tonight
among informed onlookers was based
on their conviction that there are
men of high ability on both sides,
and that there is a sincere desire for
a settlement.

Grand Island, sNeb., Oct. "a
(Special.)-At meeting Of over l0C
representatives of five shop and yard
crafts, reports from the subheads in.
dicated a general walkout here in the
event strike is called, and commit
tees were ordered appointed from
each, to report Tuesday night and
take strike problems in hand.
The discussion indicates that the
IL per cent wage reduction was q
decidedly minor factor in the strike
The main grievances were over the
revocation by the Union Pacific oi
the regulation to pay time and a hall
tor overtime, a regulation that has
been in. vogue, men say, since 1888
Some men here, because Of the ma
ture of the work, are required to
work every Sunday, in addition to
every week day. Others are called
out at irregular periods. To men
working Sundays, this new order OF
straight time means as much as two
days work per week, and it is this
reduction, in addition to the II per
cent that is opposed.
The proposed physical examina-
ton requirements, too, is objected
to more than any labor board decis-
ion or action. It is alleged that il
will establish a new age limit for
workers, eventually dispense with the
pension, system, and will be used as
silent means to discharge men who
are interested in their unions. The
press generally, and especially the
metropolitan press, was criticised for
keeping the main grievances Of the
strikers from the public.
In view of. the fact that the legis-
lature defeated the bill agains,
picketing, leaders urged the men to
keep strictly within the law, in the
event the. strike is ordered, and to
report fully any disorder started by
other than union mentor their own
exceptionally radical members.
