SWITZERLAND IS AGOG
 OVER EX-PRINCE'S VISIT
Reports Have It That Former Crown Prince Is to Buy Villa
 Near IIoCarno

Geneva, March B Rl-All Swift reports that the former German crown prince, who recently rented a villa near Locarno, is negotiating for tho purchase of the sumptuous chateau of Trevano, in the vicinity Of lugano, as the future home of his father the ex-kaiser. Transfer of the Kaiser'S home from Doorn, Holland, to Switzerland would re- quirc the consent of the great powers and also of the Swiss gov trnmont.
 Swiss circles here doubt whether the Bernc government would look favorably upon the advent of the Kaiser, The Swiss have keen mcm- ories Of the complications caused by giving refuge to Emperor Charles of Austria after the war. when he returned to Hungary in an airplane in an effort to regain his throne.
 On the other hand it Is believed Swiss military circles, in which there is considerable sentiment favorable 10 Germany, would probably advo- cate giving asylum to the Kaiser. The hotel interests. which have q powerful voice, would presumably likewise advocate his coming, be- cause of the boom in tourist business which would be sure 10 follow.

WRIGLEY DIGGING
 INTO HIS ISLAND
Wants to Find What Is Under.
 heath the Surface

Avalon santa Catalina Island. March 2S UP) -- X time will come, say veteran mining men, when the "toy" mine being developed by William Wrislcy, ir,, will surprise the quip-makers who have referred 10 it as just another Of Wrigley's playthings."
 Like the small boy who over. hauls q clock. 80 the owner Of this isle. some thirty miles off the coast Of Southern California, is digging the internals out of his domain to learn what 1t Is made of.
 Wrigley's mining efforts have gone only 10 the extent or "scratch- ing" the surface of three deposits in the Mt. Black Jack, the Quarry and the D. NJ. Renton veins. Some twenty Of these veins have been disclosed in the development period of two years.
 Silvery gleams In small chuck Of rock which he was about to hurl at troublesome wild goat caught Wrigley's eye one day while he was hiking on Mt. Black Jack. It led 10 the discovery Of the mine which bears the name of the moun- tain. A 4o0-foot shaft and laterals today show pay streaks as wide as seven and a half feet running $40, and narrower veins carrying up 10 s347 a ton. evidenced by smelter returns.
 The "Quarry," second prospect worked and originally the source of paving materials for mainland roads, yielded four and a half foot vein of sulphido milling orc carrying silver.
 Mother Nature concealed the most promising of the "diggings" some 1,j0o feet up the porpendicu- lar cliffs overlooking Pebble beach, where mountain goats barely find footing. On three levels, 200 feet in. veins were found twcnty-cight 10 thrty-siX feet across. These are in the Rontou. which shows prom ise Of being the richest producer vt discovered, for the veins are widening as work progresses.
 A 1o0-ton Notation mill. utilizing salt water in inc concentration pro- cess has been installed at Whites s Landing at the foot of q recently 1 completed four-mile road from the { Black Jack mine,
 The island. one of q chain that | until a hundred years ago harbored an Indian civilization, at one time | entertained q rush in q small way ] like the one to California in 49. Mining on q broad scale was prose , cutcd but no attempt was made to pursue orc bodies to any subsan-
 tial depth. The next major attempt

HAMBURG TO NEW YORK
 AIR LINE IS FAR OFF
Drigiblc Expert Thinks Time Of 12 Hour Service Is Not Very
 Near At Hand.

Akron. Ohio, March 92 RN-- Twelve hour air service between Hamburg and New York. the aim of new Berlin aviation society in- yestigating flying conditions in high CT attitudes is seen as a problem of interest but with q solution far from early realization by Dr. Karl Arm stein, dirigible expert aAd vice-pres- idcnt of the Goodyear Zeppelin cor poration here.
 Berlin adviccs say the society, known as "the society for investiga- ton of aviation in high attitudes, :" hopes to find means Of flying at an altitude of from six to seven miles. This, they say, would solve the problem of trans oceanic avia- tion.
 It is pointed out that in the lower atmospheric regions, planes are ser ,iously hampered by vertical squalls, fogs, thunder clouds and other at mospheric interference which do not exist in the higher strata. lncreas- cd speed, as high. possibly, as 20
 miles an TOUT. would be made pos sible. they believe.
 Professor 1Ieinhard Sucring, head of tho Potsdam observatory, one Of the experts of the society. says his findings show a minimum of steam in the air al an altitude of three mics. Thunder clouds, he finds, arc non-existent above the 7i2 mile level.
 Dr. Arnstein. builder ot the Los Angeles and 90 other dirigihles forcsees enormous increases in pos sihle speed if flights at high levels Ican be realized
