LITTLE ANNIE AT
 SUMNM|TVLLE SHIPS
 OUT BONANZA ORE
DISCOVERY OF JACK PICkENS, PRoSPEcToR, PROVES TO BE
 FORTUNE MAKER

COLORADO, SPRINGS, Colo, Oct. 2S, (P)-A resumption of the bonanza gold shipments from the Pickens high grade lease near Del Norte in the San Juan has been started.
 Hon. J. C. Wiley, Judge of the Dis trict court at Del Norte, Colo, who se- cured the lease last year with Jack Pickens, oldtime prospector, and un- dertook the development of suppos- edly worked -out mining property, the Little Annie mine, near Del Norte, with phenomenal results, has been visitor in Colorado Springs, where he supervised the sampling of a special ore shipment. Last year 22 tons of ore from this lease brought the lessees over $100,OO0. While no figures have been given out, it is understood that the value of the present shipment to the Golden Cycle mill will be in excess of $5O,OOO.
 The Summitville mining district near Del Norte was large producer of high grade ore about 50 years ago, but for many eyars has been inactive. Last year Judge Wiley, associated with John s. Pickens, a practical min ing man of southwestern Colorado, undertook the development of the pro- perty and last summer made some noteworthy shipments of high-grade ore. Pickens had opened the bonan- ga gold ore at grass-roots where many hundreds of prospectors had passed it by. He kept his discovery secret for 20 years until he was able to se- cure lease.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S. (P-Flat refusal to reveal the source of $780, 800 liberty bonds which bulk so large in the Teapot Dome conspiracy trial was made by the man the Government contends can furnish valuable informa- tion. He is M. T. Everhart, a Pueblo, Colo, baker, a sofl-in-laW of Fall, who after a visit to New York and Wash ington and other eastern points re- turned to his home town with that amount in bonds which went into a lock box in the First National bank of Pueblo and in Falls name,
 Everhart based his refusal to an- swer on his constitutional rights con- ,tending such testimony might incrim- mate him and lead to the indictment on the charge of Fall and Sinclair.
 Justice Siddons will determine later whether Everhart will be required to tell from whom he received the bonds. The Government contends Sinclair gave Fall the bonds as part con- sideration for the lease of the naval oil reserve.

The sentence passed, indetermin-

mendation that the term be fixed
at Is years hard labor. was in no
way satisfactory.
Discomfort also was evident re-
garding the type of court appoint

court had chosen to regard the as
sassination as an isolated incident
rather than as part of the "mcn-
archist conspiracy against Russia
The latter view is that taken by
Moscow.
Authorities did not see in the sit
uation today any danger of war be-
tween Russia and Poland. Soviet
Russia does not desire war despite
the stiff tone of its communications
to Poland relative to the assassin
alton.
Moscow was notieeably calmer
today as the recent wave of arrests
introduced by the execution Of 20
alleged spies was greatly diminish
ed if not ended.
Factories, however, were being
carefully guarded against incendi
arism or white terror manifesto
tions. No hostility was evident
against foreigners OF any national
ity here.
