SEEK DAM SITES
 ON COLORADO RIVER

PASADENA, Cal, Oct. 51. - Dla. mond-drill borings will be started at Lees Ferry, Ariz., to determine the depth of bedrock for flood control dam on the Colorado river as result of new survey of the canyons by Fed eral and State engineers. The party was headed by E. c. LaRue, hydraulic engineer of the United States Geologi- cal Survey, and one of the most noted authorities on conditions of the great river.
 The borings at Lees Ferry, in Glenn Canyon, will determine the cost of the foundation of the proposed dam. and Engineer LaRue expressed the opinion that this dam would cost about one third as much as that suggested at Boulder Canyon, and would prove equally efficacious in controlling the river and preserving the Imperial Val ley and other lowlands near the mouth from flood menace.
 Four possible dam sites were sur veyed by the party and more than thousand photographs taken.

AMERICAN OPERA IS ADVOCATED BY
 WOMEN'S CLUBS

ST. PAUL, Oct. 31-An inventory the adoption of the English language in opera with the ultimate end of es. tablishing national opera containing American emotions, customs, history and national life, has been sent to women's organizations throughout the country by the Opera in Our Language Foundation.
 Recalling the resolution passed at the National convention of the Fedora tion of Women's Clubs favoring the American singer and composer, Mrs. Archibald Freer, a director of the foun- dation, of which Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller Mccormick is a sponsor, asked that native opera be accorded a much larger portion in the repertory of the womens organization.
 "It has greatly surprised us," Mrs. Freer said, "that Chicagoans would contribute two and half million dol lars to secure opera in Chicago for another five years, without so much as a question or condition concerning the musical art of this countrywide great est heritage, next to the country, that can be left to future generations.
 "The development of the art of a country not only means an esthetic asset, but a commercial one, to the extent of millions If our system is foreign, the millions go elsewhere if national, the millions are ours and in the field of art we are a self-re- specting nation and are respected by the whole world"

That the operations of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields Company at Nome are among the largest and most significant mining enterprises now being carried on in Alaska, is the statement of J. J. Daly, of Nome, a passenger on the Victoria. In the pur- chase last August of the Nome hold ings of the Pioneer Mining Company, the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields Company took over thousands of acres of ground in the immediate vicinity of Anvil Creek, bonanza min- ing creek of Seward Peninsula, the monetary consideration for which IS said to have been something over s2,OOO,OOO. Mr. w. P. Hammon, who is the largest and most successful gold dredging operator in California, is also at the head of the Yuba Construc- tion Company, dredge builders.
 The entrance of the Hammon Con- pany into the Nome field is directly due to the success of the cold water process of thawing frozen ground, which was first proven up -four years ago) by John c. Miles, operating in the Nome field. Development of the process of the Hammon Company fol- lowed the next year, under the man. agement of H. R. Edwards, engineer for the company, and formerly in charge of operations for the Alaska Mines Co.,, who since then has invent ed an air appliance by which thawing points can be sunk in much shorter time than by the former cumbersome method of driving by hand. AS the result of the successful operations of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields Company at Nome, the company is also entering the field at Fairbanks, where forty or fifty men have been en- testing the ground with view to the installation of large dredges there.

HAVRE, Oct. 31.-Evidence that the verdict of murder and suicide, as brought by a coroner's jury against Mrs. Margaret Carleton, who last week shot and killed the Rev. Leonard J. Christler and herself, is not satisfactory to the family of the dead woman, is indicated in the statement made today by Prosecutor Kuhrs. If evidence contradicting that already produced is found, said the prosecutor, the investigation in to the tragedy will be reopened. First reports of the tragedy were so conclusive as to the murder and suicide that it was at first thought no coroners verdict would be neces- sary, but on the insistence of the mother of the dead woman an in. vestigation was made, with the yer dict in accordance with the first re- ports.

STEAMSHIP VICTORIA IN PORT
Dredge Mining
 On Large Scale
 Pursued At Nome

In Nome, says MT. Daly, the Ham, mon Company have let contracts for the building of two more dredges, which are to be ready for operations by June. Three contracts have been taken by the Yuba Construction Con- pany, which has shipped to Nome during the summer over 5000 tons of machinery and dredge materials and emnlovod over one hundred men, It is hoped to continue construction work during the winter. These dredges have a bucket capacity of nine cubic power plant is now being built by the company, the first unit of which is composed of three 525 horse power Diesel engines, for the generation of electricity in operating the dredges. From the preliminary construction work of the Tuba Company, which is larger than is called for by the pres ent operations It is inferred that steady construction is the plan for the future. It is understood, in fact, that the plans of the company call for the building of two dredges a year for the next five years for the use of the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields Company's operations.
 The dredging operations now going forward in the Nome and Fairbanks districts are an innovation in the mining of placer ground, made pos sible by the cold water thawing pro- cess and impossible of mining under any other method. The Pioneer Min ing Company now has ditch of 5000 miners inches capacity.
 When the steamship Victoria left Nome, said MT. Daly, one steamer, the Culbarra, was still unloading dredge machinery which had been shipped from San Francisco.
