Valleys Mineral
Field Neglected

\ large limestone deposit approx
imately 100000 tons, and several
other deposits of smaller volume, ex-
ist in Imperial Valley according to
a statement issued by j. E. Morri-
son, mining engineer for the San
Diego Chamber of Commerce, in a
mineral survey of San Diego and
Imperial counties.
Limestone is used in a great vari-
city of. products including: building
flux, glass, fertilizer, whiting for
paint, putty, terrace, paving dust,
chicken grit, rubber and magnatc
mix.
"Imperial county has remarkable
possibilities for mineral develop
ment,' Morrison says, "and pre-
sents practically virgin territory.
SO much emphasis has been placed
on agricultural productivity, how
ever, that mining has been sadly
neglected, despite the abundant nat
ural resources. The chamber of
commerce and mining chamber at
San Diego are striving to stimulate
this industry in Imperial county.
We hope to have number of val
Icy miners represented at the South
west Mining Congress in Yuma,
March 81.

BY CANADIANS
by United Press Leased Wire

WINDSOR, Ont, July 11.-on.
tario provincial authorities today
seized beer and liquor valued at
more than $5,000,OO0 in two of the
largest export warehouses on the
border. u !.
The move was understood to be
the first of a series which will re-
suit in seizure of all border export
warehouses. -
The seizure was made, Inspector
William II. Gardiner said, because
" in the opinion of the government,
the business carried on by the so.
called exporters is illegal" The
government takes the position,
Gardiner said, that much of the
liquor and beer "eXpOrted leaks
back into the province.
The warehouses of the CARING
Brewing and Export Company OF
London, Ont, and of the Nathanson
Company, a Montreal firm with
warehouses in many parts Of the
dominion, were seized. Police would
not comment on the report that an
warehouses along the border con-
tanned approximately $50 100000
worth of liquor stocks win be seiz.

VeniZelOs Frees
General PangalOs
From Confinement
Nv United Press Leased Wire

ATHENS, July 11.-General Pan
galos, former dictator of Greece,
who has been a political prisoner
since 1926, suddenly was released
last night by the newly appointed
Premier NeniZelos.
The liberation of General Pangalos
WIS unexpected and came with
amazing abruptness. Premier Veni-
zclos offered no explanation of the
release.
1t was believed, however, that
Pangalos release was due to the
desire of NeniZelos to strengthen
his position with the army, which
always has been favorable to Pan
galos.
General Pangalos government
was overthrown by revolution led
by General Condylis. Chief criticism
against Pangalos was that he had
ruled tyranically.
AS the revolution became sue
ccssful Pangalos fled Greece, board
ing the cruiser PergamOs.
The cruiser was overtaken by a
destroyer and the former dictator
surrendered. Subsequently he was
tried and made Il political prisoner
and sent from one island of con-
finement to another. There were
numerous reports that he planned
escape but the plans-if ever for
mulated-never were attempted.
Nenizelos, former premier, return
ed to Greece only recently after six
years of exile and forced the fall
of the cabinet. He was directed by
President Coundouritis to form the
new cabinet.

IA Russian aviator, Chukhoos-

today that he had located three men
of the dirigible Italia who had been
given up for lost.
Their survival in a 40 day fight
for life against terrible Arctic
weather must be regarded as one
of the high spots in this epic OF

On May 80 Professor Finn Malm-

tam's AdalbertO Mariana and
Filippo Zappi of the Royal Italian
navy, joint navigators, started out
with a farewell wave of their arms
from the ice floe encampment OF
the Mobile party off Northeastland.
They refused to wait, as they
thought, for an inexorable death tn
overtake them, but preferred to meet
it half way in a gallant effort to
reach land over the broken ice floes,
jagged and treacherous and take aid
