H9--Vigorous initial opposition to the
federal governments curtailment OF
appropriations for research on be-
half of the mining industry is ex-
pressed in resolutions adopted ltEe

er Hill and Sullivan mining and
concentrating company, made its re-
port to the board of directors who

ing, has been hampered it is said by
IAN unfair and niggardly policy"
adopted by the federal government
in its creation of funds for the sup
port of the geological survey and TIE
bureau of mines.
Tribute was paid to the splendid
work accomplished by the geological
survey and the bureau OF mines and
g request was made that topograph-
ical mapping, as provided for by the
Temple Bill, be continued 1t was
further resolved that reduction of
appropriations be lett to the director
Of the budget, the secretary Of COM
merce and the secretary Of the in
terror, rather than to congress, and
that appropriations commensurate
with the Importance of mining, as a
basic industry, be made in the fu-
tIre.
A resolution introduced by former
Governor Jesse F. Mcdonald of
Colorado, asked that the national
organization of the American mining
congress make thorough study of
the leasing act of 1920 and the min
ing laws of the United States for
the purpose of securing a more just
administration of the law.
Discussions this afternoon. were Of
the round table type, rather than
formal and attention was limited to

no trace of him was found
With the report that the alleged
army officer was an imposter Sher-

but the injection of Nevada'S claim
for power generated at the proposed
Boulder canyon dam site, menaces the
future of the conference. A spirited
fight on the part of that state for a
share of the power generated, will
open the field for similar claims
and additional differences between
Arizona and California, with the re-
suit that the conference is liable 70

Nevada plans to make fight for
at least third of the power to be
generated at the proposed dam anu
storage reservoir. This fact was am
nounced tonight by George M. Malone,
Nevada state engineer, following a
conference with Governor F.. ID. Balzal
Immediately on the arrival or the
latter in Denver today. Nevada
feels that the 100000 acre feet mace
available to us from the Coloraio
river is sufficient for our present ana
future needs declared Malone, but
we feel that we are also entitled to
share of the power generated at
the proposed dam. Power is depend
ent on the growth of the territory
adjacent to its production and in
the same line of reasoning develop
ment of any territory is predicated
on its power possibilities. AS q result,
to permit Of the future natural de
velopment of Nevada, we feel that
Nevada is entitled to at least third
of this power, if for no otherreaSon
than the fact that the proposed dam
probably will be erected in a part OF
river bed that belongs to Nevada
The threat of the power proposal
is expected to be made a reality
at the opening of the fourth days
session tomorrow morning. California
completed presentation of its case to
the conference at the session this
morning, thus leaving the field open
for the presentation tomorrow morn

far the representatives of California
and Arizona have been confined py
the conference to the presentation Of
facts concerning the difference exist

power is expected TO open the fiesd

under adverse conditions.
The test was ordered by the United
States coast guard officials, as the
result of protests of the manufactur-
ers that recent tests of life raft at
San Diego were made with raft
which was not of the type carried by
the fliers.
Todays test was made IL miles out
in San Pedro channel with an Ii
mile westerly wind, a choppy sea
and a heavy ground swell. Chief

test. After two 180 pound men had
floated in the raft for an hour and
fifty minutes without shipping a
drop of water, Listnan announced
he was satisfied. that it would be
impossible to swamp the raft
The cutter withdrew eight miles
and the raft, according to officials
was plainly visible at that distance.
LiStrnan estimated that it could be
sighted easily by ships lookout with
a glass at twenty miles.
HONOLULU, Aug. "a R-Rumors
of finding the lost Dole air racers
were heard again in Honolulu today
after such reports had been inactive
for some days. But as fast as these
runors could be checked they were
found to be apparently groundless.
The army aviators and Martin
Jensen, pilot of the IliOila, who flew
to the island of Hawaii yesterday
to investigate reports of flares seen
there on the side of Mount Mauna
Kea, returned today. They found
nothing to indicate the presence
there of any of the fliers. They
said, however, that fog interfered
badly with observation. They also
we're told of flares alleged to have
been seen again last night on the
mountain side There was no eX-
PLANTATION of these.
Another rumor, supposedly originat-
ing in FIilo, said a plane had been
picked up at Midway island, west
and north of the Hawaiian group.
The commercial Pacific cable office
in Honolulu, which has the only
direct connection with Midway, as
serted it had no report of any such
plane. The navy radio also lacked
knowledge of such q discovery, if one
was made.
Meanwhile, Rear Admiral John D.
Mcdonald, naval commander here,
issued orders for a fresh search by
naval vessels of the seas about
Hawaii. The admiral also ordered
seven r boats to start at p. NJ.
from Pearl Harbor for search 800
miles to the southwest and said he
would order g search by seaplanes
to the leeward side Of the islands.
Thus far the ocean has been
searched 40 miles in every direction.

OCEAN FRIDAY

BRISTOL, Eng, Aug. "a (R-Cap-
tain Leslie Hamilton expects to be
ready to start early Friday morning on
his overseas flight. One of his as
SiStants flew the plane from the
Upavon airdrone to the Filton air
drome in Bristol this morning, so that
some necessary adjustments on the
engine could be made by experts of
the Bristol airplane works, where the
engine was constructed
Everything was declared to have
been satisfactorily adjusted this after
noon, and in the early evening Captain
Hamilton and Colonel F. F. Minehen,
who is to accompany him on his
trans Atlantic journey, went up Tor an
hours trial. On coming down it was
declared the machine worked per-
1ectly.
Captain Hamilton denied reports
that Princess Lowenstein-W Wertheim,
who has held flying license for
many years, would be a passenger on
the overseas attempt. This denial was
occasioned by the publication of re-
port that the princess would be the
additional passenger which it was said
several days ago Hamilton contem-
plated taking along. But today the
aviator. asserted that only he and
Colonel AIinchen would make the trip.
The plane will be flown to Upavon
tomorrow morning where it will be
fuelled and according to the present
plans, will take off about o'clock
Friday morning.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. "a GA one

ly observed in Mexico City from II
o'clock to noon today. Public automo-
bile, street car and telephone services
were suspended and most of the fac

A similar one-hour strike in the
theatres and moving picture houses by

tonight between and o'clock.
The newspaper Ell Sol, which is the
organ of the Mexican regional con-
federation of labor, editorially de-
plores the execution at Boston as a
crime committed by capitalism against
labor. The lesson which it learns from
the execution is that the workers
throughout the world must become
better organized and must stand more
