GREAT GOLD EXCITEMENT At
CRIPPLE GREEK

The Cripple Creek Camp, in Colo
rado, once the greatest gold camp
in the world, is coming into it's own
again, after period of comparative
inactivity since 1918, with the re-
opening of many old workings and
the discovery of new veins of rich
ore.
Rich surface" strikes recently
made in the camp, are drawing
scores of prospectors to the camp,
and, with new machinery being in
stalled in numerous underground
mines, Cripple Creek is staging a
real. come back" as a gold-produc-
ing center.
Finding rich gold ore at grass
roots at the same time that new
veins were disclosed at a depth OF
more than $500 feet below the
earth's surface is one of the. freak
developments of the new prosperity
in the camp.
Sol Cain, one of the pioneer pros
pectors of Cripple Creek, literally
"stubbed his toe" on a body of ore
of great extent and value, less than
a dozen feet below the surface, al
a point over which countless feet
had trodden for thirty years-since
the precious metal was first located
in the shadow of Pixies Peak, Cain
is taking ore from his shallow shaft
valued as high. as $500 of gold tc
the ton and has a real gold mine in
the making.
Other important strikes have beer
made recently at or near the sur.
face, and mining men are declaring
that the day of the ''grass root
mine" has returned.
| The famous Portland mine, from
which millions of dollars worth O1
ore have been taken in the past, ha:
located an immense body Of ore al
a depth of $500 feet, the Lowest
producing level in the State of Col
dorado and one is being taken from
this new vein which has settled fol
as high as $4,000 to the ton at tht
mill.

RELICS FROM EGYPT
interesting New Discoveries on
View In London.
Graves Of courtIets and Royal Ser
vants at Abydos Belong to Date
az Unbelisvabiy q Remote sas
5000 Years b. c.

London.-Most Intensely interesting
are the relics brought back by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, the great Egyptologist,
and his colleagues from the tombs
near Abydos.h The precious fruits of
last winters search are on view at
University college. ,-teaz4 So. c.
The graves at Abydos were those Of
courtiers and royal servants of the
nrst dynasty kings, and the treasures
that were buried with them belong to
a date almost unbelievably remote
about 5000 years B. G. These tombs
were not known 20 years ago when
Professor Petrie explored the famous
tombs Of the first dynasty kings
There are hundreds Of them, and 1t Is
thought, from the evidence Of many
Durials at one time, that in those
times the servants of a king were sac
rificed wholesale on his death.
The bodies were not mummified but
lying on their sides with their belong
ings round them-fnely-m flint
knives, copper tools, and, of special in
terest, pieces used In games. There
are some exquisitely carved figures Of
lions in ivory, probably part Of a game
In which these little figures were
pushed along a board in pursuit of a
hare. There are delicate copper
needles, perhaps from the stock-in-
trade Of the court dressmaker, and q
great deal of pottery and vessels in
alabaster, all nearly perfect after 1000
years.
One is struck once more by the evil
dence of very finished civilization In
the delicacy and refinement of these
implements and decorations brought
from "the dark backward and abysm
of time"
The exhibition is rich in tablets Of
later dynasties from the same site.
One Of the eighteenth dynasty is men,
orable because the dead man does not
pray for funeral offerings in the COM
mon form, but only that the gods may
grant him "a heart that Is sweet every
day."
A great deal of important work was
done also at Ozyrhynkhos, notably In
exploration Of the great Roman thea
ter which held 10000 people-One OF
the nOblest theaters of antiquity.

1OO-Year Lease ON
Shoals Project Is
Favored by Beach
Engineers Chief Questions
ACCESSIBILITY Of Reducing
Time Clause in Ford's
Nitrate Plant Offer

WASHINGTON. Feb. a.-Thc advis-
ability Of reducing the time clause in
Henry Ford's offer for tho lease Of the
Muscle Shoals, Ala. governm cnt- owned
lands from 100 to 80 years was qucs-
toned indirectly to-day by Major Cen
cral Lansing H. Beach. chief Of army
engineers, in testimony before the
House NJ ilitnry Committee. Referring
to the general policy OF the government
not to lease its properties for period
exceeding fifty years, General Beach in
his testimony at The second day of the
hearings Of the committee on the Ford
proposal said that at is not always
advisable TO apply one general rule to
things big and small"
Secretary Weeks, who was heard by
the committee yesterday at it's opening
session, declared repeatedly that in his
opinion it would be unwisc to permit
the lease of public lands or properties
to private interests for 80 long period
az 100 years. General Beach, however
said to-day that it was "a question
whether in as big and important d mat
ter rs this the tifty-year rule would
not work hardship
1t was his belief. the General contin-
ued. that in disposing of The properties
at Muscle Shoals the paramount con-
sidcration should be the effect upon
the nations defense rather than tho
manufacture OF fertilizer. The coun-
try. he said, should not bc "caugh:
again" without an adequate nitrate
supply.
General Beach was preceded on the
witness stand by Major General Will
liams, chief Of ordnance, who occupied
the greater part Of the days sessions
explaining valuations of properties in
volved in the Ford offer. He estimated
that the Warrior power plant and
transmission line could be ealvaged for
SO 100000 or more, and declared under
examination by committee members
that figure was three-hfths Of all that
Mr. Ford had offered for the nitrate
plants and other properties. These
properties, it was estimated, had q
scrap value to the government Of SS,-
1000, and would be worth S16,272 coo
if made partially operative and the re-
maInder salvaged
The policy of the War Department,
General Williams explained. however,
was opposed TO the scrapping of the
properties concerned. He added later
in response to questions, that it was
intended to complete the Wilson dam
and maintain nitrate plant No. 2 in the
event private development failed
Chairman Kahn received word to-day
that Mr.. Ford would not appear per
sonally before the committee, but
would send properly accredited repre-
sentativcs. A telegram from f. G.
Licbold, secretary to Mr.. Ford, said W
B. Mayo and J. ". Worthington would
be delegated to act for the manufac.
turer, aud it was learned later they
| were requested to be present at Mon
DAVIS sessions.
