the arrangements for operation of
some of the property
The first consideration was to the
shaft in Chicago park, which was
started last fall and is being put
down as a prospecting and develop
ment proposition. Work was COM
menced here early last summer but
was suspended during the winter for
several weeks.
Saturday last, men were put to
work cleaning up, trenching for the
melting SHOWS and getting the pipe
| line in shape, so that the compressor
can be started and work in the shaft
| resumed at once, when it will be put
down as fast as possible. The man.
agement contemplates spending sew
eral thousand dollars here and will
give this territory a thorough pros
pecting- so that if there is ore on
the hill it will be found Every indi-
cation pionts to the opening of a
good vein of ore at depth.
The Gold Links too, belongs to the
Reynolds estate and it is planned to
operate this well known property in
about thirty days, or as soon as ar
rangements can be made.
A good vein of ore has recently
been opened in this tunnel at the
2100 cross-cut This vein has never
before been encountered or opened
up. 1t runs parallel to the big,
known vein in the mine and carries
good values in gold While it has
only been tapped it is a practically
proven shoot and being in virgin ter
ritory will give a world of new stop
ing ground, as all cross veins will
run parallel to the cross veins of the
known ore shoots. This is geological
ly true in almost every instance.
This new vein was opened short
time ago and has been developed
thru the urging of ]. F. Robinson,
who has always felt that this partic-
ular territory should be prospected
for vein. That his judgment was
good was proven when a nice pay
streak of gold ore was opened up. 1t
has encouraged the owners to do
considerable work there and Mr..
Morse himself expects to spend most
of the summer on the ground. He
will move his family to the Links
and they will occupy the handsome
bungalow built some years ago by
Mr.. Reynolds.

of taxes speaks well for the owners

Refuses Resignation
lOf Pres. AleSsandri

Santiago. Chile, Sept. 9-(By A. P)
The Chilean senate this evening
declined to accept the resignation Of
Arturo Alessandri, president of the
republic. which was rendered today
at the request Of the cabinet and the
military group headed by General
Altamirano. The vote was Is to II
against acceptance. The chamber of
deputies will not convene to take ac-
ton on resignation, considering that
this would be useless inasmuch as
the senate has rejected it.
The new cabinet had presented to
the senate proposal urging the ac-
ceptance of the presidential resigna-
ton and at the same time to permit
President Alessandri to leave the
country with his family and to con-
fer upon him the rank and pay of an
ambassador
1t is considered that the refusal of
the senate to accept the resignation
has made the political situation more
difficult than it was previously.
After the action of the senate this
evening Alessandri sent the cabinet
a note insisting that he be permitted
to resign. Meantime ne remains a

Shanghai. Sept. 9-(By a. P.)-
Heavy rains which fell today have put
a stop. temporarily at least, to the bat
ties which have been in progress for
week past in the ChekianE and
Kiangsu armies west of this city for
the possession Of which the governors
Of the two provinces appealed to the
force of arms.
1t is a tradition in China that Chi

sun is strong or rain falls. 1t fact in
the low-lying country between the
Yangtze river and Shanghai Marking
Railway. west Of this city. where the
battles are staged and which is in
tersected by numerous creeks and ca
nails, fighting is next to impossible
after rain, the whole. country being
flooded.
From reports of eye-witnesscs and
the Chekiang headquarters. the rain
came as the Chekiang armies We're
launching counter-attacks at Limbo
on the Yangtze river, and Hwangtu. on
the railway. where they previously had
repulsed kiangsu attacks. Both coun-
ter-attacks it is claimed, met with a
measure Of success.
Meanwhile another Chekiang army is
advancing from the south around Lake
| Taihu with Chang Che. an important
city on the railway, rs its objective
| hoping there to cut the lines of the
enemy.
To assist the marines landed from
| the foreign warships to protect the in
I ternational and French settlements, the
municipal council has introduced dras-
tic orders prohibiting the appearance
on the streets of any soldiers of the
two Chinese armies.
The defence force of tho city has
also erected harhed wire barbados
across the roads entering the city from
the regions where the fighting Is in
progress.
