THE ADVENTURE IN MINING

THE ADVENTURE IN MINING
 At recent meeting, in London, of the Selukwe Gold Mining Co. it was announced by the chairman that an offer had been made by Amer ican friends" to purchase the Sel- ukwe company's interest in a Can adian mining enterprise, but, being adventurers, while appreciating this proposal. we declined to sell, as we cannot thrive merely by getting our money back" That was miner-like answer. and in accord with the speculative spirit that is essential to successful min ing. "AdventursrS' $ good word; it used to be applied to the share holders in the Cornish tin mines and it was used earlier by the Hud- sons Bay Go. Even to this day the annual meeting is called in the name of the adventurers trading in the Hudson's Bay territory" Min ing enterprise is essentially a spec ulative venture, or an adventure, and it is more successful when ap- preached couEageously and sanely with eyes wide open than when it is undertaken as an investment or a manufacturing proposition" the last a phrase common in wildcat prospectuses. Engineering and Mining Journal-Press.
 The Selukwe company own two thirds interest in the B. (. Silver group, now being developed under the direction of c. A. Banks. The other third was purchased last fall by the Premier Gold Mining Com pany, adjoining.

DROP IN MARKS VALUE
BRINGS GERMAN CHAOS

While reports Of early industrial
collapse in Germany were discounted
in reports from Berlin today at the
Commerce Department, officials de-
clared that further serious disorders
are imminent through inability of
Germany to buy raw materials for
her plants.
Unparalleled drop in value Of the
German mark has brought chaos
to German industry. Shortage of
capital and inability Of domestic pur-
chasing power to respond to new
price levels will render 1t impossible
for Germany to buy goods In foreign
countries upon the previous heavy
scale, officials said.
An era of wild speculation con.
tinues unabated, and It runs through
out all German trade and industry,
advices from American observers
said. Price confusion SURPRISING all
previous experience was recorded In
Germany last month.

TARIFF REPORT
. To COME Up IN
SENATE TODAY
Clashes Expected to Develop
on Cotton Schedule and
Dye Rates.
by international News Service.

The Fordney-McCumber tariff bill.
designed to raise $35G000. 900 annual
revenue, was within one step from
enactment today. The Senate took
up the tariff conference report for
final consideration. Passage of the
report, which adjusted differences
in rates between the House and Sen
ate measures. will send 1t to the
White House for the Presidents 8
signature.
Two new clashes were expected to
develop in the Senate's consideration
Of the report. While House opposl-
ton caused abandonment Of a dye
embargo and placed potash on the
free list, Senate leaders believed they
would defeat all further attempts to
change the bill.
Western Senators. however, were
combining to force q new vote on
the cotton schedule. which places
long staple cotton on the free list
after the Senate once had placed q
tariff OF cents a pound on 1t. Sen

they would be defeated.
Another effort to increase the dye
rates, as adopted in conference in
lieu Of the embargo, was also
scheduled. Senator Bursum Rep.)
Of N. M, it was reported. would
lead this attack. The rates original
ly passed by the Senate were
sponsored by Bursum but they were
materially reduced in conference.
Bursum's effort was also expected
to meet with defeat.
Despite these two attacks, ad-
ministration leaders hoped to pass
the bill before nightfall. Their
plans however were subject to Demo.
cratic veto as minority members in
the last few days have persisted in
lengthy debate. II enactment Of
the measure is not obtained today.
Senate leaders were certain 1t would
be passed Monday.
Under this schedule, the bill would
reach the president Tuesday and
probably become a law by the pres
ident's signature Wednesday. Many
Of it's provisions will become opera.

Appropriations Chairman Ar
CUES Treasury Can't Stand
$43, 100000 Drain.
BY international News Service.

The $4,000, 900 rivers and harbors
authorization bill was fought bitter
ly in the House today by leaders Of
the economy drive.
Chairman Madden, Of the Appro-
priations Committee, organized the
opposition to the measure, and served
notice that he would fight the bill
as long as he could. He argued that
the Treasury was in no condition to
. stand the drain contemplated by the
legislation, and that projects pre-
sented were not OF such a pressing
nature as to demand immediate at
tention.
The bill was sent to conference by
the House last Wednesday after 1t
had passed the Senate. When the
bill passed the House several weeks
ago II carried a total of $32. 900. 900.
Madden then opposed the measure,
and had the assistance of Leader
Mondell and other important Re-
publicans. The waterways members
got their bill through after a spirit
ed struggle and a deal with the
Democrats which split Republican
ranks and caused some bitterness.
After the bill got into the Senate
many new items were added to 1t.
Among these were authorizations for
the purchase by the Government Of
the Cape Cod canal and the Dismal
swamp canal and a survey Of the
Tennessee river. The Cape Cod
canal purchase involved an outlay
by the Government Of $11, 100000, Of
which $5,000,O00 was in cash and
80. soc, 900 in bonds to be assumed
by the Government, and the Dis
NAL Swamp canal was to cost $780,
600. In all the Senate added about
si2. .000, 900 to the total Of the bill.
The conferees agreed to the bill
after reducing the Cape Cod canal
cash purchase money to ss,OoO,o09'
and with some miner changes. Chair
man Dempsey, Of the House Rivers
and Harbors Committee. brought
the conference report into the House
vest terday and asked immediate con.
s,deration. Madden objected, and
the blli went over until today with

SENT HARDING;
. FATE IN DOUBT
Some Say He Will Withhold
Signature and Let It Be-
come a Law. :
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Serxica.

The battle-scarred soldiers
bonus bill reached the end of its
"Long, Long Trail' today.
The fate that awaits it at the
White House, following its final
passage by the Senate by a 2
to vote, was considered uncer-
tain today and was a subject of
lively difference of opinion on
the part of those who were its
chief architects.
President Harding informed
some of the Republican leaders
of the Senate a few weeks ago
that he did not approve the bill
and was inclined to veto it.
Whether developments since that
time have caused q change in
the Executives ideas, only de-
velopments within the next few
days can determine.
Foes Confident OF Veto.
Bonus foes asserted with conf
dence today that the President will
veto the bill on the ground laid
out by Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon. and backed up by the
United States Chamber OF Com
merce and business and financial
interests generally, that the Gov
ernment is not now able to stand
the financial strain imposed by the
bonus.
On the other hand, the pro-bonus
forces were outwardly confident. at
least, that the President either will
sign the bill or allow 1t to become
q law without his signature.
These bonus advocates - among
them nearly every Republican leader
in Congress, asserted privately tnat
It Is Uncomfortable" to them that a
Republican President. in the midst Of
a campaign year, would veto a bill
passed by a Republican House OF
Representatives to /, and by q Re-
publican Senate 2 to l.
Margin Close in Senate.
Anticipating q possible veto. how
ever. both pro and anti-bonus forces
in Congress were engaged today in
count of noses to determine
whether a White House veto could
be overridden.
In the House there was little doubt
that the necessary two-thirds could
be secured to repass the bill should
II be vetoed. The House originally
passed the measure by to !, and
the lineup has not changed material
ly since that time.
In the senate the matter was one
of delicate balance, with the issue
likely to be decided by a margin Of
one. two, or three votes.
Anti.bonus forces claimed to have
thirty-five votes, or two more than
enough to sustain a veto, pledged,
but this claim was contradicted by
the ro-bonus people. Numerous
polls were made by party leaders,
and no two of them agreed with the
degree Of exactness necessary to de-
termine the fate of the bill.
1t was apparent, however, that
two or three votes would decide the
matter either way should the White
House turn down the measure.
One-Third OF Senate Absent.
More than one-third of the Senate
is absent from Washington, and
likely to remain away for some time,
so that figures on a veto are more
or less conjectural. II the anti
bonus forces, on the other hand, can
master their full strength 1t ap-
peared they might succeed in over
riding a veto by the narrowest of
margins.
The number Of absentees and
pairs, 1t appeared, would decide ulti-
mately the fate Of the long-fought
legislation.
