to be ReOpened Soon

According to THE issue of February
27 of the Engineering and Mining
JournalPress reports are to the ef-
feet that the old Vulture mine, at
Wickenburg, is to be reopened in the
near future, with A. G. Simpkins, en-
gineer, in charge of the work. The
underground workings have been
closed down since about 1914. Work
ings to depth of 1899 feet have
been run, generally following the
hanging will side. The footwall side
has mot been thoroughly explored.

Tibetians Carrying Lot
of Electric Machinery
to Forbidden City, Slain

LONDON, Mar. 3.-The Daily Nal
reports a massacre of a party, be-
leived to have been Tibetans, who
were transporting three hundred
tons of electrical equipment by
mules and came1s for the erection
of a plant in the forbidden city"
of Lhasa in Tibet. The machinery
is said to have been destroyed.
The plant was to have been put
up by an English firm for lighting
and other purposes and was to have
been the first admitted into Lhasa.
The notorious jealousy of foreign
intrusion into the "forbidden city
was manifested by stipulation that
the equipment must be conveyed
and the work superintendended by
Tibetans. Accordingly it was en-
Ringgang, who was educated in
England and trained as an engineer.
Ringang, who was related to the
ruler of Tibet, left England with
the machinery about eight months
ago. He completed the 400 mile
journey from Kalimpong, Bengal,
and was not heard of afterwards.
Agents sent from Calcutta and Bonn
bay learned that the party wah met
b representatives of the new Tibe-
tan government and murdered in
Himalayan mountain pass $4,000 feet
high. All the machinery was des-
troyed and the Wreckage thrown
over a precipice.

TWO DOPE CASES
TO BE HEARD IN
PHOENIX MAR. 9

PHOENIX, March 3.-The cases of
Carl Kober and William Ehrlich. un-
der federal indictment in connection
with alleged violations of the Harri-
son narcotic act, were set for joint
trial on Tuesday, March g., by Judge
Jacobs in United States district court,
Kober is in Jail in default of $4,000
bond, where he has been held since
his arrest, January IA, except for a
period of about three weeks when
he was confined to a local hospital
with pneumonia.
The arrest of Kober and Ahrlich
came al the climax to one of the
most difficult and lengthy investiga-
tions ever made in this state. Kober,
who was employed for seven years
as a prescription clerk at the Way
land Pharmacy, is alleged to have
stolen morphine and cocaine from
the stores Of the pharmacy in oper-
ations covering a period of nearly
four years, and to have disposed OF
the narcotics through Ehrlich. They
were arrested by federal narcotic
agent and Deputy Sheriff Leon Ma
varre after an exhaustive investiga-
ton, and $50 morphine tablets were
found in Kober's possession follow
ing his arrest
According to Roy Wayland, pro-
prietor of the pharmacy, shortages
in narcotics handled by the concern
include approximately 25,00O half
grain tablets of morphine and about
1000 grains of cocaine in powder
form, being valued at nearly $4,000
''bootleg'' prices.
An elaborate system, it is stated,
was used in the delivery of the mar
cotios. Following telephone calls to
Kober on certain nights, tobacco
can containing stated amount of
narcotics, would be placed on the
ground near a light pole at the rear
of the confederate's residence. The
prospective purchaser, a little later,
would approach and take the can,
throwing the money into the confed-
crates yard it was stated at the
time.
