BIG BLAST EXPLODED
IN JEROME ON MONDAY

sThe United Verde Copper company
on Monday exploded at a single shot
10000 pounds of black powder, using
10 tons Of dynamite as a cap" the
biggest single shot ever attempted by
tie company. Instead Of the tremer-
d0us explosion that had been antici-
pated, with the attendant upheaval of
the side of the hill where the powder
had been planted, there was a dull
raar, the air was filled for a short
time with smoke and dust and the
ground settled a bit The havoc
wrought by the powder was under
glround and made little change on the
stEface.
isDown on the 310-foot level, how
ever, where the powder had been
tanaped into the drill holes, instead of
a solid formation, there is about 300,-
GOO tons Of loose dirt and rock, it is
estimated, ready for the steam shovel.
The work of drilling the holes and
loading the two car loads of power
had been under way for two months.
Special methods Of preparing the
powder and the drill holes had to be
due to the heat underground
in the United Verde mine.

GILL NETTING IN THE FRASER HALTED BY
 ORDER OF BOARD

NEW WESTMINSTER, Dec. 1O.- Five hundred fishing boats and their accompanying fishing gear tide up on Wednesday, following the closing
 of gill-netting for salmon on the Fra ser river the first of this month. Fishermen are at a loss to under stand the cause for the order, which they state came without warning, and after assurance had been given that the season would extend for two weeks longer.
 Those best posted in the industry assert that there is no ground for or dering the salmon season closed on account of deterioration of the qual- lity of the fish now running.
 Two points were made by the fish ing interests in that connection. The first is that just the moment fish
 show signs of deterioration, automat- ically fishing then ceases, for the
 trade will not buy fish unfit for use.
 The other is that there is no order issued to stop fishing sockeyes or springs when the run of those varie- ties is near the end. The only order approaching such suggestion is that to increase the mesh of the net for
 sockeyes one inch.

 BIG VALUES
OFFICERS RETURN FROM MINE GREATLY DELIGHTED WITH
 REGENT MILL TESTS

Earl Barnett, president of the Alaska Hills Company, with mines at
 Nuka Bay; Dave Andrews, general manager; John Rice, treasurer; H. V. Henrikson, mill man, and Frank Short, engineer, returned today on the gasboat Rolf from the company's property, highly enthused over the splendid showing made in running 50 tons of ore through mill test,s the plates yielding about S17O0, or $50 per ton, which with the sulphites will run S70 to $50. The ore was taken from the dump and not handpicked, this giving evidence of it's great richness.
 While the mine has been closed down for the winter, considerable work has already been done this sea- son. Two hundred and seventy feet of tunnel has been run, with a 91-foot raise. One hundred and fifty feet of development work has also been done on the lower tunnel The mill is in readiness for operating next season. Two men remained in the camp to build mess house and get out tim bers for next years operations. Four men are wintering on the bay and much prospecting will be done It is also stated that three other proper ties will also be worked on Nuka Bay next summer, Seward receiving con- siderable revenue therefrom.
 A directors meetnig will be held in Anchorage as soon as Charles Bal hiser, who is now in Washington, re- turns.
 Engineer Frank Short, who was for merly connected with the Granby copper property at Valdez, and with the Guggenheim mine at Kennecott, has been engaged in measuring up and surveying the ore in sight, and declares it one of the richest propo- sitions he has ever investigated.
 The four members of the company will leave on tomorrow's train for Anchorage.

BY A. G. GARDINER.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, June 2S.-Acceptance by
the United States of the invitation to
be represented at the conference of
the allies on July 16 has given great
satisfaction here.
A good deal Of doubt exists in re-
gard to the exact understanding
reached by Premier Herriot and Prime
Minister Macdonald at Chequers a
week ago. A statement attributed to
Mr.. Herriot in Belgium that Mr..
Macdonald had agreed in event Of
Germany defaulting to renew the
position that Great Britain occupied
in 1914 created much criticism here
1t has been promptly denied by NJ.
Herriot in the Chamber Of Deputies
and by Mr.. Macdonald in the House of
Commons. The latter repudiates in
the most unqualified terms that any
military or defensive engagements
have been entered into. Suspicion was
created by the use of the term moral
pact" in the French communique. but
Mr.. Macdonald says this is only
equivalent to the words common de-
termina ton" in the English version
Difference In Statements.
Inc ODSCurlty OF the position IL IN
creased by the difficulty OF reconcil-
ing the tone of NJ. Herriot's speech in
regard to Germany in the interview
with him by Normal Angel. published
here Thursday. in which the French
premier was represented as saying
that if Germany fulfilled the condi-
tions of the new settlement. he would
favor her inclusion in an Anglo
French mutual assistance agreement
under the sanction of the league Of
nations.
NJ Herriot, when questioned. said
he was not responsible for the in
terview. but no one doubts that 1t
represents his personal attitude and
much emphasis is laid on the fact
that he associates Gen. Maurice Mol
let, French minister of war, with his
view.
1t is not doubted that a profound
change has come over the French
attitude. In some quarters here it is
understood that the pendulum has
swung far in the direction of
Franco -Ge rman understanding. 1t has
always been a powerful element i'll
French big business which favored
a political underSt anding with Ger
many in order to accomplish an eco
nomic combine between Franco-Ger-
man industrialists for control of
European iron and steel.
