ish, American and Japanese plani-
potentiaries at the tripartite naval
conference met privately this even
ing in an endeavor TO solve the cris-
is at the conference.
geneva, July 6.-tPl Private
meetings today between Hugh s. Glib
son. American delegate, and Viscount
Ishii of Japan, and later between Mr..
Gibson and DIR. Bridgeman, British
delegate, failed 70 improve the ex-
isting critical situation confronting
the tripartite conference.
Lord Cecil. Admiral Sir Frederick
! Field and also Rear Admiral Hilary
/ II. Jones, U. S. ~. were present at
the Anglo-American party which ac-
cording to reliable reports was rath-
er lively.
1t Is declared that the British
criticised the Americans for their
alleged failure properly to recognize
Great Britain's reasonable require
ments.
Explains U. s. Views
According to all accounts. Mr.. Glib
son insisted that the United States
did not wish 10 do any injustice to
buI lnat tNe amer
lean delegation saw little chance of
the senate ratifying treaty which
would bring cruiser strength up to
the neighborhood Of 100000 tons and
prove bait for increases instead Of
decreases.
The japanese are plainly worried
over the situation. The private CON
versaJions are continuing.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 6.-tPl
Geneva reports that the naval limi-
tation conference had reached vir-
tual deadlock over cruiser tonnage
| failed today 10 draw comment in any
official quarter here. but there were
increasing intimations that the Wash
ington government was very unlikely
to accept cruiser figure in excess
of the 100000 ton maximum men
toned by the American technical
delegates.
Conference Preliminary
Ii was made clear that the United
States looks upon the present stage
of the conference as still prelim-
mary one. Officials did not disclose
what confidential reports Of yester-
days proceedings might have come
in from Ambassador Gibson.
IL was suggested again. however,
that the hard and fast views Of the
technical experts of the three pow
ers have still to be accorded diplo-
matte treatment by the senior mem
bers Of the missions and that il the
three powers are AS anxious TO pre-
vent further competitive naval CON
struction and to reduce their naval
expenditures as the correspondence
which brought about the Geneva
meeting would indicate, there should
he ample room. for diplomatic al
justment Of conflicting views Of
cruiser strength.
Despite this hopeful official view
point. however. the outstanding fact
today was the strong impression
created that the Washington govern
ment was not prepared 10 go any
appreciable distance beyond the 400.-
600 ton figure and that it was be-
lieved even that total tonnage TO be
excessive and beyond the actual needs
of any power.

crease in quantity. but . large part of the decrease in the value of the output was due to the fact that the price of lead was about a half cent a pound less than in 1925. Most of the lead was recovered in the treat ment of ores whose principal values is their gold or silver content. The lead-bearing gold ores came almost entirely from the Alaska Juneau mine, in Southeastern Alaska, and the ,lead-bearing silver ores came principally from the Hyder district, also in Southeastern. Alaska. The out put of marble. came entirely from the quarries of the Vermont Marble Com pany. at .Tokaen, on Prince of. Wales Island. Southeastrn Alalska. The tin ore, or cassitehite, was derived from -placers near Yoork, in Seward Penin- sula, and from the Hot Springs dis trict, in the Yukon-Tanana region. Some of the platinum metals were won from placers in the vicinity of Dime creek, Seward Peninsula, but the. larger. part of the output was palladium recovered from a copper lode of the Alaska Palladium Com pany, on Kassan peninsula, in the Ketchikan district. According to cur rent reports, the low price of pal ladium caused suspenson of opera tions of this mine in October. A new mining enterprise was started on Grayina island, inethe .Ketchikan dis trict, where one of the old gold mines whose ore carries large amounts of pyrites. was 4phnchased by the Alaska Paper Mills to supply sulphur re- quired in the manufacture of paper pulp-

near that of the Standard Oil Con- pany, and which had earlier drilled a test well to depth of 5000 feet.
 Drilling to test for oil, the structure in the vicinity of Johnson creek, in the Yakataga region, was carried on by the General Petroleum Company. According to the latest available in- this well had been drilled to depth of 300 feet, and a good flow of oil was said to have been en- countered at 24O feet, and indications of oil at several places between the depth of 200 feet and ;the,hottom of the well. This well t. ca depth of 61 feet; had a 15 1-2-inch casing, from that depth to 24O feet a. 12-inch cas- ing, and below that depth .an- 8-inch cas.
 Examination of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in Northern Alaska. and adjacent regions was lOntinued by party from the Geological Sur vey, in charge of. Philip s. Smith, which went overland during. the win ter and spent all the summer in field work in the area. The area traversed was mainly thet twesternapart of the reserve and adjacent country in the vicinity of Kivalina, Kukpowruk and Kokolik rivers and the country near the tributaries of Kuk river and PPePard Bay. No new seepages or other definite indications of petroleum were found, but the party reports that at many places excellent struc- tural features were recognized which afford good collecting places for any oil that might have originated in the nearby rocks.
 The report of the discovery of oil in the Nizina district appears to be un- founded, and a member of the Geo. logical Survey who, visited that dis. trict was unable to find any signs that might form a a.basis for the re- port. In fact, the general geology of the district is distinctly unpromising for an oil field.

his getaway in good shape by hiding
in church belfry.
After a time he grew weary Of his
surroundings, and thinking the coast
clear, undertook to slide down the
nearby rope to safety. No sooner had
he started down than the bell began
to peal, and almost Immediately he
found himself surrounded by a good
share of the village population. See

looked up at the bell and shaking an
angry fist remarked: 'Tf it hadn't
