The government simultaneously
announced officially that no actual
rioting had occurred but that there
had been minor disturbances. Re-
ports of killings, it was said were
false and were probably Red prop

GOVERNMENT SEEMS AHEAD

LONDON, May 7.-There are dis
tinct signs today that, the govern
ment has gained the upper hand in
the greatest industrial crisis in Brit
ish history, and the Premier Bald
win is prepared to maintain his ad-
vantage with vigor.
The Lab0rites generally show dis
couragement.
LabOrites in the house Of commons
today were eagerly searching for
peace, while the government and
the miners remained as intransigeant
as ever.
Indications Of weakening in labor's
position were contained in an Off.
cial Communist statement made to
the United Press charging Ramsay
Macdonald, j. II. Thomas and other
moderate leaders with defeating the
purpose of the strikers by talking
peace.
Macdonald announced today that
the parliamentary labor leaders
were seeking a basis for peace.
Leaders at strike headquarters seem
ed reluctant to discuss the situa-
tiOn.

PROSPECT FOR
NATURAL GAS
Asks City Commission to Pass
Ordinance Granting Him
a Franchise

The prospect Of finding natural gas

reading at last nights city commits

Edward s. Allen. local attorney. wish
cs the city to adopt.
The ordinance. if adopted as pre-
sented, would give to Mr.. Allen. his
heirs or assigns. franchise for the
construction and operation of a plant
to supply the city of Bismarck and it's
inhabitants with natural gas. and the
right to use the streets and alleys Of
the city in laying mains for the dis
tribution Of the gas.
The proposed measure provides
that the grantee will take immediate
steps to prospect for, drill and obtain
natural gas. and agrees that within
one year after the discovery and OBJ
tanning of natural gas in sufficient
quantities. he will have the plant in
full operation and completed in every
way. capable Of producing sufficient
gas for all lighting. heating and in
dustrial use" a..
Presence Of Gas Indicated
The presence Of natural gas in this
vicinity was indicated about year
ago when a driven we'll in the base
ment of the Mckenzie hotel gave
forth gas. A match touched to The
top Of the pipe produced hot flame
and it is said that enough gas is pres
cnt from the small we'll to supply the
hotels cooking needs if it were SO de-
sired. If Mr.. Aliens request for a
franchise is granted. he plans to pros
pect and drill in this vicinity immcdi-
ately. he stated today. beginning in
the Mckenzie hotel basement along
side the well which now indicates the
presence of natural gas
while the prospect of finding this
natural gas here in quantities suffi-
cient for commercial use is strictly a
gamble" Mr.. Allen said. II am conf
dent that it is here. and ! am asking
for a franchise before beginning work
so that in event the supply is located

STATE MUSEUM
Were Property of Bismarck
Bank and Are Relics Of
Gold Rush Days

Reminders of the colorful days
Of the early '70's when the Dakotas
were still outpOsts Of civilization. a
pair of gold scales recently have been
placed in the state museum here. the
gift of Major G. H. Russ Of Bismarck
Major Russ was an officer in the
Bismarck bank and which had re
tanned possession Of the scales since
the days when men paid for purchases
with native ore dug from the Black
Hills of South Dakota
Gold has never been produced in
North Dakota, Lewis +. Crawford
state historian said, but the Black
Hills stage line. whose Northern ter
minus was Bismarck until the late
seventies, brought scores Of miners
to the present North Dakota capital
These carried their wealth in sacks,
belts and pouches and every business
house Of prominence had carefully
tested scales to weigh the gold which
the miners brought into the country.
The usual custom, Crawford said,
was for the banks to send the raw
gold to the east to be minted. In
some instances it was exchanged for
currency but that was not often, the
miners preferring the "fcel" of the
raw metal.
With the passing Of the stage line
and the advance Of civilization South
Dakota gold no longer came north
ward and the gold scales. which had
weighed up precious metal valued
at thousands Of dollars, quickly fell
into disuse.
Another recent addition to the
museum, Crawford said. was one oi
the copper pans used by gold pros
pcctors in placer mining along thg
streams Of the Black Hills.

Had HOrner renewed his enlistment
instead Of quitting the army for ci-

before Custer began his final cam-

he said, and wanted to do something
else. Opportunities for an ambitious
young man were plentiful and mill
