GOLD DlCCERS
OF RIGHT KIND
FOLLOW. RUSH

GOLD BEACH, Ore, July 90. U.P)
Scores of prospectors and adven-
turers are trooping through this lit
tie outfitting town at the mouth of
Rogue river, bound for Mule creek,
some 40 miles upstream, where a
strike of rich ore has started the
west IS newest gold rush.
Ore, which experienced mining
men say will run $4,000 to the ton,
has been uncovered by prospectors
in vein of decomposed quartz.
This latest find, which followed
many other recent ones, has stimu-
lated interest in the region SO much
that the trek to the diggings
amounts to real gold rush.
Until the recent strike, the place
was marked only by tumble-down
flume, rusted sawmill (packed in on
burros) and dilapidated hydraulic
"giants'' used to tear up the allu-
vial sands.
Operations are hampered by trans
portation difficulties. 1t is 20 miles
by road and 20 more by narrow
train from Grants Pass down river
to the new diggings. Prospectors
can go upstream from Gold Beach
by motorboat to a point Is miles
below Mule creek. From there
everything must be packed in over
mountain trails.
Possibility Of airplane transpor-
tation is under consideration, but il
is difficult to find flat piece of
ground large enough for landing
field in the vicinity of Mule creek
as the country is practically straight
up and down.
Seaplanes, although considered,
are practically out of the question
as the river is narrow and swift and
flows through a narrow canyon with
high basalt walls at that point.

(By United PresS)

With Russia and China both p1edg-
ed to abide by the Kellogg treaty
against war, moves to conciliate
their dispute over the Chinese East
ern Railway progressed rapidly to-
day.
While the United States made mo-
offer to mediate, it was understood
the good offices of this country
would be available if requested.
Japan and Germany also were
understood to be ready to act as
mediators.
In Paris, Mineitchiro Adatchi, act
ing president of the League of Ma
tions council, conferred with Foreign
Minister Aristide BRAND on pro-
cedure in case the league is asked to
act.
Moscow denied receiving any pro-
posals indirectly from Secretary Of
State Stimson, and some resentment
was expressed against France, on
the assumption that Paris had with
held Stimson's offer in favor Of one
of its own.
No violence was reported from
Manchuria. China continued deport.
ing Soviet Russians from that re-
gion, while the Russians were re-
ported to be interning Chinese in

in LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, July %. U.H-
Police said today they suspected an
outbreak of ''racket warfare" with
the wounding of two Italians, Frank

BROMLEY READY
FOR LONG TRIP
ACROSS PACIFIC
Yankee Flyer Confident
His Plans Will Meet
With Success.

TACOMA, Wash, July %. U.P)-
If Lieut.. Harold Bromley is forced
down in his lone nonstop from
Tacoma to Toxic he will float
like cork and use the radio to
signal the world,' he told the Uni
ted Press today.
The swarthy Canadian American
aviator seemed little worried by
thoughts Of the fogs, rocks and ice
he might meet along the great cir
Gle route as he supervised final re-
pairs on his orange-colored mono
plane before taking off Friday or
Saturday on the 400 mile span of
the Atlantic.
Inl have enough gasoline to fly
to Japan-and ! expect to reach my
goal,' Bromley said.
'But if trouble looms-1'm just
empty the gas tanks in the wings,
glide down to the surface of the
ocean and float around until they
pick me up.
Although he originally hoped to
take off today, the bashful quiet
little aviator seemed even more as
sured of success as he admitted he
was anxious to go but added he
would not attempt to take off
"until everything is all right
He planned to make few short
test flights either today or Wednes-
day to see that the Wasp motor was
in perfect working order.
Japanese Cordial
Bromley will pilot the City of
Tacoma over the great circle route
the same course the American
army round -the-world flyers chart
ed. 1t will take him north as far
as the Aleution Islands and keep
him within short cruising distance
of land during the greater part of
the flight.
From his post near the tail of
the plane he plans to radio his posi-
tion hourly and map air currents
over the North Pacific ocean.
Bromley was cheered by reports
that the japanese government will
welcome him and the National
Aeronautical Association had sane
toned the flight. He expects to
land his craft on the sandy field at
Nemurco on the Island of YeZo.
His two sisters-Mrs. J. A. Nc
Kinnon of Seattle and Miss Villa

to witness the take off. His wife
and six year old son will remain in

BRE MEN GIVEN
NOISY WELCOME
BY new WORKERS

NEW YORK, July %. W.P)-The
10000 ton North German liner Bre-
men, representing Germany's latest
bid for recovery of commercial
oceanic supremacy lost during the
World War, has opened new possi-
bilities for rapid passenger and
mail service to and from Europe.
The Bremen has cut the Atlantic
crossing time to less than five
days, thereby wrestling the myth
cal blue pennant of ocean speed
from the Cunarder Mauretania.
For mail it's ship-to-shore air
plane service will be able to reduce
the ocean crossing time by approxi-
mately IS hours. The exact time to
be saved in delivery of mail ahead
of the ship will be determined by
the distance from shore that the
Heinkel seaplane is catapulted from
the liners deck.
Pacific coast passengers utilizing
train plane service could travel to
Europe in approximately eight days
if all communications were made
without delay.
Mail from California-or passen-
gers if they chose the affair cross
continent trip--would reach Europe
even in a shorter time, eliminating
almost a full day.
The Bremen, in making the trip
in approximately 1S6 hours, took
the speed record the Mauretania had
held since 1924. The new official
time is days, II hours and AZ
minutes.
One of the most colorful and
noisy demonstrations ever witness
ed here greeted the Bremen yester-
day after her triumphant sprint
across 1857 nautical miles from
Cherbourg.
The Bremen is built to ride low
in the water. Her bog is like that
Of cruiser and her stern is
streamlined like naval vessels. Her
tunnels are shaped like a falling
raindrop to add to the streamline
symphony.

guard against possible infection.
The wound is healing rapidly at this

General Garcia, who is no rela-

him from the club Sunday afternoon
General Garcia returned about 20
minutes later and attempted to re-
