Trains Animals
He has trained champanZees, vi

The Bucks will pierce the terri

istrator for the district embracing
Charleston at the time Seabrook was
there. in 1925, and others, will ap-
pear today.
Bring Counter. Charges
Seabrook asked the COMMITTEES to
require Poppenheim and Shafer to
come. He said they would bear out
his story that Meyer fatty refused
to prosecute prohibition cases Sea.
brook docketed, and that G. D. Nc.
knight. of Berkeley county, N. c.,
after being arrested in a whisky raid.
was given a prohibition job.
Meyer issued a statement from
Charleston that he is ready to an.
pear before the committee. He as.
serted he had no confidence in Sea-
brook and for that reason did not
prosecute all the cases the agent
docketed. He said also that Sea.
brook was later convicted on liquor
charge.
Ready with Records
Brookhart announced today that
Seabrook would be on hand with
data he was requested to bring

Meyer, incidentally, was required
to bring with him the court records

The former dry agent said he WAS
acquitted in this case, which he said

JURY Gets FALL
CASE LATE
TODAY

The Fall bribery trial jury
today will hear a story of
superpatriotism and of mellow
friendship.
With only few hours intervening
before the jury takes the case and
renders a verdict on whether the
100000 former Secretary of In.
terror Albert B. Fall got from e. l..
Doheny. the oil magnate, was a
bride for the leasing of the Elk Hills
naval oil reserve, Frank J. Hogan,
chief of defense counsel, busted off
his now-familiar spellbinder and pre-
pared for an all.day argument. 1t
is possible the case may go to the
jury this afternoon, but more likely
1t will be tomorrow.
Fall Denounced
All day yesterday, the four women
and eight men of the jury heard
former Senator Atlee Pomerene, OF
Ohio, denounce Fall as a corrupt Of
fetal and Doheny as a sharp-prac'
ticer, but today Hogan will portray
pair of old friends who prospected
and endured hardships together back
in the gold rush days, the one who
became wealthy gladly loaning the
other a mere pittance Of his wealth
in time of need.
Doheny, who counts his millions
by the score, looks upon 100000 as
the man Of the street would regard
$25, he will aver. and the loaning Of
that amount to Fall had nothing to
do with the leasing of the Elk Hills
reserve.
War Clouds Gathered
In fact, Hogan will contend Fall
had nothing to do with the lease.
The Navy Department arranged to
open the naval reserves because
it had confidential information that
Japan had millions Of barrels of
oil in secret storage undernea tn
the harbor at Tokyo and war
clouds were gathering in the Pa
cific, he will state. The Navy
wanted fuel oil and storage facili-
ties at Hawaii as measure Of
national defense. and Doheny, so
advised. heroically stepped forward
and agreed to come to the aid of
Americas war fleet. even though
at first he didn't expect Ito make
cent of profit out Of it."
Doheny since has tempered this
with an admission he expected to
make 800 ,O0O, 900 out Of Elk Hills.
but Hogan, who really is the oil
mans attorney-he is defending
Fall solely because a bribery in.
dictment also hangs over Doheny-
will insist that patriotism of the
highest order impelled the instruc.
tions that caused the Pan-American
Petroleum Company to bid on the
reserve.

Take our vein, for example: You have noticed that right in the center of the vein there is dark streak about half an inch wide of mixed quartz and arseno- pyrite and that much of our values are concentrated right there in that narrow dark ribbon The history of our vein has been something like this: :: First, a-quartz vein carrying few dollars inngold was injected; then, at a littlel ater date, this vein was rup- tured and a~rich concentration of quartz, arsenopyrite was drawn of below and used to heal this rupture.

NEW YORK.-There are 24, 1892 ,31o registered motor vehicles in the United States, an increase. of 1,463,O55 over a year ago. the annual tabula- ton made by Motor Magazine from the registry records of the various States shows.
 Passenger cars showed an increase of 6.2 per cent during the year, number ing 21,468, ,596. The number of motor trucks is 3,123,774, a gain of 7.2 per cent.

THE ASSOCIATION OF
 QUART WITH ORES

fBy Ernese NJ Patty, Dean of Alaska

 Jack and Larry were plodding their weary way up the trail to their cabin after putting in hard shift in the tunnel. Jack dropped down on big rock with the remark: Lets take five, Larry. I've been trying to think, and I cannot walk and think a tthe same. time-sort of a single-track track mind, I guess you would call 1t" Larry dropped down nearby, picked up a piece of quartz foot lying on the trail and mechanically began breakihgg its between two rocks, then examining the fresh surface for "eol- ors." Don't try to think too hard on an empty stomach, Jack. Doctor says it's bad. for the digestion. We'll, go ahead and get it off your chest-"e
 What I don't understand, Larry. IS why quartz is so often associated with valuable ore. It seems to be- pretty well understood by everybody that quartz and ore are. almost universally associated, but I have never heard anyone attempt to explain why. Take one of the Eastern sportsmen who come out here hunting in the sum- mers. Now. if one of those fellows was crawling along on ridge to get pot shot at bunch of sheep and he should suddenly crawl across quartz ledge he would immediately forget all about getting a shot at the sheep and begin looking for gold.'
 Some, but not all of them, Jack. have. seen some of these hunters who would rather get themselves a nice sheep than be president of the First National Bank back in their home town.'

magma, may be particularly rich in gold, another, in gropper and some of them apparently have only very small quanties of the e,valuable metals. Now one of these magmas4 may be forced into some area; of 7 overiying older rocks. If the molten material breaks through to the surface the lava~will be quickly chilled and freeze, as fine grained volcanic rocks such as rhyo- lite, and basalt. The quick freezing does not give any metals which may be present time to collect together and they will occur scattered as small traces through the entire mass. Now, on the other hand, if this intrusion gets within a mile or so of the sur face and most of it does not break through the overlying roof rocks, it will take this area of molten rocks years to cool down and freeze. It will naturally start freezing from the outer edge and the time will be suffi- .cient for the heavier metals to sink deeper and collect more or less to- gether. As the magma chills, it is a known. scientific fact that. the darker rock-forming materials, such as mica and hornblende, are the, first to crys- tallize. The next to form are the feldspar crystals; and then the other margin is like sponge, the fibers being made up of micha, .hornblende, feldspar, etc., the juice in the sponge being the still liquid quartz. [ this sponge is compressed some of the quartz juice will be squeezed upward into openings in the roof rocks. The metals are still liquid1 1ors gaseous at this stage, and if they haven't tall set tied downwards they will go with the quartz. That is one of the reasons why quartz is so often associated with valuable ores. Ins other words, the excess quartz juiceeand any metals which may be tangled through it are simply ejected upward into the roof rocks when the molten intrusion crys- tallized."
 "But. Larry, you said much of the metals settled down deeper into the intrusion as the outer margin cooled What about these metals? Are they completely lost? If. they are, there must be some mighty rich. chambers of ore in the heart of these, intru sions."
 5. Jack, the best of the experts dt mot agree about all that, and they l probably never will, because no mal
 has ever seen more than seven ol
 eight thousand feet into the earth
 There is one thing sure, however, ant that. is that much of these metal which settle out are later caught, ant
