RICH STRIKE
REPORTED In
SONORA Mine

According to Enrique Arvillo, min
ing engineer of Hermosillo Sonora,
who was in Aqua Prieta on business
Thursday, one of the richest strikes of
high grade ore ever made on the west
coast of Mexico has just been reported
from Moreno, Sonora. The strike was
made on the Vidolin property and runs
high in copper, silver and gold values.
Arvillo states that the find was
made by Col. j. c. Besley of Hermo-
sillo, who has been shipping an aver
age ofSa car of ore a week, to the
Douglas smelters during the past two
jmonths, 1t is expected that this ship
'ment will be increased in the near flu
3ture, as he is planning to open up the
large ore bodies and erect a flotation
concentration mill.
Colonel Besley says that the property
had been worked in desultory fashion
the past several years, but that the
ore bodies had not been developed to
the point of making it a big producer,
as are his plans. At the present time
80 men are employed. The payroll will
soon be double this number
Colonel Besley is we'll known in this
section of the country, having lived in
Mexico many years, during which time
he has opened several of the finest
mining properties on the west coast,
among them the. Sierra de Plata that
produced several millions. 4

WOULD CENSOR
GOTHAM PLAYS

NEW YORK, Feb. P).-The nine
producers, authors and actors con,
stituting a self-appointed "stage
cleanup committee" seeking a city
agency to censor plays, today were
told they would have to await until
Mayor Walker returns from Cuba
before the~city would formally act
en- the suggestion. The committee,
headed by Winthrop Ames, producer,
called today on city hail officials to
present a plan designed to bring
abount voluntary censorship and to
stop ~outside meddling,v such as
state Legislation,
Their idea was, it developed, to
permit the appointment by the mayor
from the theatrical field
without @the establishment of an
official municipal agency Mr.. Ames
said, it would be impossible to purge
the New York City stage.
In the absence of the mayor, the
committee talked with William f.
Mccormack, municipal bill drafting
commission. Mayor Walker, how
ever, has been opposed to official
censorship, and Mr.. Mccormack said
he was unable now to express the
city administrations viewpoint. He
suggested postponement of the mat

ranged when the mayor returned.
Mr.. Mccormack said the plan would
be workable from a legal stand.

be official, under suggested plans,

Mexican Women BraUe
Death in Desire to See
Virgin Of Guadalupe

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 3 P).-For the
third time recently great excitement
was aroused today by the reported
temperance Of the Virgin of Qua
dalupe, Mexico's patron saint, and
again it was necessary to call out
the police and soldiers to restrain
the crowds eager to see the miracle.
In the town of Guadalupe Hidalgo
several hundred women narrowly es-
capped being. blown up by dynamite
because they insisted on remaining
on top of a hill while it was being
blasted away after they had heard
that the Virgin had reappeared there
and left her image on great rock.
Hundreds of women carrying
flowers and lighted candles and
chanting hymns swarmed over the
hill which was being removed for
zeal estate development. The women
ignored the admonitions of the dyna-
miters, who called on the police for
aid. Police and soldiers surrounded
the hill, but the women in large
number eluded them and climbed to
the summit, where the virgin was
reported to have been seen and
where the 6ynamiters had just placed
a huge charge for a great blast
Again vain warnings were called,
out to the women, who replied that
they would rather die than leave the
place where the virgin had appeared.
They resumed their singing, and the
worlxmen, their patience exhausted
at the prolonged interference with
their work, completed their prepara-.
tions and lighted the fuse. The po~|
lice charged the women, who stameI
pe6ed and got away before the ex
pIosion, which destroyed the rock
where the virgins image was sup
posed to have been. Some of the
women still persisted that the image

Asked concerning Eugene Chen,

lister was one of that group of intelli-

a good education in English have
taken an English first name. He was
described as of medium height, about
40 years of age, and of pleasing,

sion compound when the railroads
were cut during hostilities. The girl
drove up to school in a handsome mo-

LONDON, July 5.-Merchants
who do business in Houndsditch, an
East End street near Whitechapel,
with the churches st. Botolphs at
each end, complain that the unsavory
reputation of the street is hurting
their business. They ask that its

History certainly has not been kind

old City Ditch. on which site the pres
ent street stands, as 20 filthy place,
full of dead dogs" Shakespeare and
other writer's have also spoken of 1t
most contemptuously.
City authorities say that historic
street names should be maintained
and suggest that if this is not done it
will be most convenient to number
the streets, as is done in American
cities.
The whole history Of the City of
London. they point out, is bound up
with its street names. Garlic Hill is
so called because there used to be a
garlic market there, just as at Corn.
