SEVEN PERSONS ARE HELD
 GUILTY IN BOOZE PLOT
Plan to Ship Water as Whiskey In- wolves Ex-Secret Service Offi-
 cials at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, March 24.-Matthew F. Griffin, formerly head of the Unit ed States Secret Service in the Phila- delphia district, and six other de- fendants were found guilty by jury in the federal district court of con- spiracy to defraud the government in connection with an alleged plot to substitute water for whiskey and al- cohol in a large shipment to Greece.
 They were held in s1o,000 bail each pending argument on motion for new trial. Had the plans of the al- legged conspirators gone through 1t was said, they would have made at least $5,000,000.
 The defense called to the stand an unusual array of character witnesses, among them Federal Judge J. Whit aker Thompson, one of the judges of the court where the defendants were tried, who said he had known Griffin for 23 years as faithful United States secret service man. Other character witnesses included several government officials.

Washington, March "A (By the As- sociated Press)-Accurate calculation of the position of ships at sea and on air lanes with almost lightning speed Is said to be possible under a new method of determining latituae apd longitude, worked out by the hy- drographic office of the navy depart ment.
 Complete computations, according to c. w. Littlehales, Photographic en- gineer, who devised the new system, can be made within three minutes, whereas calculations by methods now in vogue is usually a somewhat tedt- ous procedure. Three years worH, involving more than million and half calculations and the solution of millions of spherical triangles, is rep resented in the new tables, which, naval experts declare, will be of par ticular value in determining quickly the position of fast moving water and air craft.
 All data needed in making calcula- tions under the new system are con- tained in a single, compact volume.

enburg, is unknown, but desultory work
every winter finds incentive to attract
placer miners who return annually to
work the old diggings with long toms
and rockers when water is available.
1t is, therefore, more reasonable to
conclude that the gold found near the
bridge crossing the Hassavampa eight
miles south from Wiekenburg is local.
An immense dixie of diorite crosses the
Hassayampa only a few miles below
here; bedrock detritus shows little or
no gold, but below this dyke reason
able prospect can regularly be panned.
For years California representatives
have done assessment work in the neigh
borhood of the box canyon above Wick
enburg. on the Hassayampa, 1t has
been claimed, keeping alive the water
titles to have been continuously handed
down from the old Brodie, or Walnut
damsite. Dredging operations have
been limited at every year, but no dred-
ging machinery has yet been installed.
To people who claim to be posted,
it looks more like a move. for excuse
to appropriate water which may eventu-
ally become valuable when the 5000
acres around the region south and east
of Wickenburg are included in an inn
mense irrigation district for farm and
horticulture promotion. Any CONNER
cial production from placer operations
in the new neighborhood will be watched
with intense interest by many old tim
ers hereeabouts who are ready to
stampede" on the slightest provoca-
ton.

sumo operations on a new scale where

Preliminaries for Dredging the
Hassayampa Near
Wickenburg.

A. G.. Haigler, Jim Burson. and Frank
Davis, former government driller in
this part of Arizona when water devel-
opment work was conducted under fed
eral aid, are reported to be sinking
test holes in the Hassayampa river near
Hot Springs junction. The work is
claimed to be a preliminary to putting
in a dredging machine to work the
placers known for years in that local
ity and which are said to come from the
Dominguez wash. which flows into the
river Just above that point.
A Phoenix story intimates that the
gold found in the stream detritus of
the Hassayampa originally came from
the far away region known as the San
Domingo placers; but this is all conjec-
ture and sounds like ''old prospectors'
stories. 1t is we'll known principle
of placer minining that the gold derived
from placer operations, whether by
sluice boxes or ground sluicing", is
usually found only a few feet from
where the dirt is deposited for stream
action. Stream concentrates are usu-
ally found where the stream has been
and not where it is now. Gold is the
last thing to leave when exposed to hy-
draulicking or ground sluicing. So.
too, in sIuicing operations, the bulk of
the cleanup is found in the first two
sluice boxes, where the shOveling in
has been done. Very fine. or flour, gold
sometimes has been known to travel
great distances when moved by salt
water, which is buoyant and forcible
under influence of storms and Overfiows.
The marine made hills north and east
of Wickenburg give abundant evidence
that they were created when this part
of the earth was overfowed by the sea.
Many of them are only terraced bars
left by the tremendous wave action
which ground up the detritus that may
have emanated from local sources, or
carried to their present abode the min
eral concentrates now uniformly found
along the Hassayampa and its smaller
tributaries. The placers of Yavauai
county were cause of great rush in
1863 around Rich Hill, Weaver, and
Dowdyville. Most all the gulches and
arroyos south of the Bradshaws have
produced more or less placer gold; the
rushes were responsible for the discov-
cry of the famous gold producers known
as the Congress and Vulture mines,
which turned out many millions of
quartz gold, strengthening the convic-
ton that the gold was local and had
been eroded from veins and stringers
that traversed the hills north and east
of Wickenburg. Patrick Hamilton, in
writing of the Rich Hill region about
10 miles north of Wickenburg, tells how
gold was found at bedrock concentrated
around huge boulders, and it was COM
mon to find SIS, 600 to Sc. 900 under sim
gle boulder. According to statistics,
one acre in this district is known to
have produced over half million in
coarse gold. Up to 1888 records had
increased gold production to over ST.
900. 600 from the Weaver district alone.

placers, 8 miles north and east of Wick

RUSSIAN REPLY
RECEIVED IN
LONDON
British Cabinet Considers
Note in Advance of Arrival
of Krassin.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Russian
reply to Lord Curzon's vigorous de-
mand for redress for hostile acts
against British subjects and prop
erty in Russia was received this
afternoon in advance Of Leonid
Krassin, who was reported to be
bringing it by airplane from Mos
cow.
The cabinet met to consider the
document.
The cabinet probably will make no
decision as to the acceptability OF
the note until Thursday. giving the
board of trade and foreign office
opportunity in the meantime to pre-
sent their views.
Foreign office officials described
the note as argumentative. but re-
fused to make a prediction as to
it's fate.
Despite anti british demonstra.
tions in Moscow Saturday, it il
reported that the soviet govern.
ment is anxious to avoid a break
with Great Britain and will pro-
pose negotiations.
Owing to the sympathy of labor
members of the House of Commons
for Russia and pressure from bust
ness interests, it is believed that
Lord Curzon, the foreign secretary,
will prove amenable and will con.
sent to arbitration.
Lord Curzon has maintained a
vigorous policy toward Russia. He
was bitterly criticised by members
of the soviet government in speeches
in Moscow on Saturday. His note
to Russia was a ten-day ultimatum
demanding that Moscow make
amends for seizure of British trawl-
ers off the Murmansk coast and
the detention of the crews.
Russia maintained she had ex-
elusive fishing rights within the
twelve-mile limit off the Murmansk
coast. Great Britain dissented.
