RICH STRIKE IN SONORA MINE

Situated five miles from Mo
reno Station, Mexico, which is
directly on the Southern Pacific
of Mexico railroad, is located
the newest high grade mineral
discovery on the West Coast of
Mexico, reported to run high in
copper, silver and gold values
and now the scene of extensive
DEVELOPMENT work, looking to
future operation on a large scale,
says the Herald.
sCol. J. Campbell Besley, we'll
known mine and land operator
and promoter of Hermosillo, cap
ital city of Sonora. is credited
with having made the find at
the Vidolin property located on
the AleJo Bay property.

mosillo. be has taken an option
on the property and has been
shipping on an average of a car
of ore a week to the Douglas
smelters during the past two
months. 1t is his expectation
that this shipping will be great
ly enlarged at an early date as
he is planning to open up the
large ore bearing bodies and
erect flotation concentration
mill at the mine site.
Col. Besley says that the prop
erty had been worked in a de-
sultory fashion the past several
years but that the ore bodies had
not been developed to the poiut
of making it a big producer; as
are his plans. At the present
time thirty men are employed.
The payroll will soon be double
this amount,
Col. Cesley is we'll known in
this section of the country hav
ing lived in Mexico many years
during which time he has open,

properties on the West Coast,
among them the Sierra de Plata

AIRPLANE DESIGNERS
 DEFY OLD PRINCIPLES

BERLIN, Uct. 1I-Principles which have thus far been re- garded as automatic by airplane designers have been stood on head by the firm of Focks- Wulf of Bremen in the construction of new type of heavier-than-air machine.
 The new plane gives the inn pression of flying backward, for it's controls are in front and the motor and wings behind. The pilot faces in the direction of the tail
 The inventors claim for the new type known as duck" that it obviates any possibility of cap sizing. More important still. they say. the brakes can be applied suddenly and quickly when the plane reaches the ground with out the danger of it's turning a somersault. This is of inestimahle value in the case of forced land- ings on small fields.
 When the duck was demon strated recently Director Wulf piloted and showed his confidence in the stability of his invention by folding his arms and letting the machine run alone for a while.

New Biblical Play
 For Oberammergau

BERLIN, Oct. r. A new Biblical play, "The Master of Life" is being rehearsed in the School of the Cross in Ober- ammergau. Christ appears in it only in non-speaking role, and Ills life and work are communi- cated through visions of Pilates wife and the daughter of King Balthasar The bulk of the ac- tion is concentrated around Judas and Mary Magdalene.
 The stage management is in the hands of Georg Lang, and the roles of Judas and Mary Mag dalene are played by Lang and Fraeulein Preisinger, of Passion Play fame.
 Since the Passion Play is pre- sented only every tenth year, 1t becomes necessary to train up new players, and it was to this end that the School of the Cross" was instituted. Through the new Biblical play added in- teref is given to the work.

French Wheat Crop
 Is Heavy but Poor

PARIS, Oct. IT. Frances 1927 wheat crop will be almost sufficient to supply her demands if the calculations of Ernest Pi- cot. agricultural statistics expert, prove correct. He estimates the yield at 100000 bushels as against 192,000.000 last year. This unexpectedly .ne result he attributes to the use of new var ieties of seed wheat. But for the bad summer, he is convinced the crop would have been nearly 270,000,000 bushels It will still be necessary, however, he says, to import certain amount of foreign wheat to make up for the defective quality of the native product.

Jack Dempsey Deserued
 To Lose, Says Jeffries

According to dispatches in east ern newspapers, Jack Dempsey deserved to lose his recent battle with Gene Tunney, because of his failure to observe the rule of re- quiring him to go to neutral i, corner. This is the declaration of Jim Jeffries, former heavyweight champion, who lost his title to Jack Johnson. Jeffries was 2 guest at the Cumberland Hotel, in New York, preparing to leave for his home in Burbank, Cal. after attending the Chicago fight:
 '.Bhe count was long one" Jeffries admitted. And Tunney did look pretty glassy-eyed while waiting to get up. But Jack was not in such good condition either
 "It was Jacks own fault that he lost. The rules were there and should have been obeyeh."
 Jeffries, while .he considers Dempsey and Tunney as good fighters, doesn't believe that they compare with the- giants of his own day.
 Bob Fitzsimons could have beaten Dempsey in two rounds and Tunney in five" he said Bob was the most scientific and accu- rate hard hitter I ever knew.
 "Corbett was the greatest boxer I ever saw.
 From Sharkey would have Iclouted either of those boys so badly that in four rounds they would have been willing to sit down"
 Jeffries smiled when asked what Jim Jeffries would have |done to them.
 '1'm not going to say abont that" he answered. But cer- iainly would have liked to fight both of them when was good Dempsey can hit hard. He hits them and they go down three or four times. But they would get up three times or four times, too. When ' hit them. usually |crippled, them
