richly producing mining camp by the recent closing of Charles ID.
 Waggenor's bank of Tellirude, the outlook for the future IS far from Idiscouraging
 Waggoner has, from time to time in statements to the press since his arrest in connection with his ac- Iknowledged theft of half a million dollars from New York banks, vaguely and otherwise hinted at some secret combine that put him on tn rocks.
 NEW WORKERS GET MINE
 Residents of this Colorado min ing camp in a position to know,
 state that Wagoner's references have to do with the advent of the Payne Whitney group of New York CTS who secured title to the rich Black Bear gold-baring property here in June of this year The con- Inection is not made exactly clear, but it is a know in fact Wagon Ter and his associates were doing everything possible to keep the eastern group from getting control Iof what now promises t0 be the biggest producing group of claims ever uncovered in this district that already has produced not millions but hundreds of millions of dollars in precious metals.
 BLOW TO WAGGONER When title was awarded to the Payne Whitney group early last summer it ended a series of litiga- tions bitterly fought turnout the past several years. It is said that enough high-grade ore is blocked out in the shafts, tunnels and Istopes of the Black Bear to assure the owners of big fortune. Their legal victory includes the right to use the Mildrum tunnel, extending
 beneath the Black Bear, driven by
 Andrew Mildrum, pioneer miner of this district, now working a claim lat Red Mountain in the Ouray dis trict By sinking the shaft down to this tunnel. the ore can De Economically handled thru this underground passage, saving the hoisting expense and giving a di- rect outlet for the mineral products of the Black Bear.
 MILLIONS PRODUCED
 The Smuggler and Tom Boy mines, producers of over $lO0,OO0, 900 worth of gold and silver ore, are far from being worked out, de- spite reports broadcasted to that effect from time to time during the past 12 months New leads have been uncovered in both of these workings that when developed give every promise of producing many more millions. A dead has been opened in the Japan Flora prospect that is three and a half feet wide and rich in gold and silver. Pan- dora, mill camp in box canyon at the foot of Ingram Falls, just outside of Telluride, gives every promise of becoming a highly pro- ductive camp as soon as the pres ent slump, caused by Waggoner's downfa1l iS overcome
 The Golbe vein on the Suffolk property at Ophir, just over the range, yielded smelter returns of $750O0O in three months, early this year, between two levels where ex- pert engineers had said there was nothing but native rock" The Cimarron properties here are well developed to a paying basis as are other workings, old and new.

NEW ORLEANS STRIKE PEACE
CREDITED TO CAPITAL PRIEST
Father John O'Grady Is Hail
ed as Unofficial Mediator
in Traction Dispute.
Agreement Ending Deadlock
Is Tentative Subject to Ap-
prevail of Both Parties.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 6-To the
unofficial mediation of Father John
O'Grady of Washington, D. c., Secre-
tary of the National Catholic Charities,
is being credited the tentative agree
ment reached yesterday for settlement
of the New Orleans trolley strike.
For more than two months the oper-
ators and employees of the Louisiana
city's surface lines had been deadlocked
and the situation had created such bit
terneSS that serious clashes had &C.
Cured. All efforts of Government,
State and city agencies to find formula
for settlement had failed.
Conferred With A. F. of L. Leader.
Recently Father O'Grady visited New
Orleans in connection with other mat
tiers and came in contact with the
strike situation and attempted, tenta-
lively, to bring the two forces together.
AS in previous cases, his efforts were
without avail. Returning to Washing
ton, he conferred with President Will
liam Green of the American Federation
of Labor and is understood to have ex-
pressed the opinion that, If the feder-
alton took the initiative, shunting aside
temporarily both the Amalgamated
Street e. Electric Railway employees
and the local union, immediate progress
would be had.
President Green, the story here runs,
acted at once upon the suggestion,
communicating with A. B. Paterson Of
the New Orleans Public Service Co. A
meeting was arranged in New York,
bringing the signature yesterday OF an
agreement setting forth the basis Tor
complete settlement.
Agreement Is Tentative.
The agreement is tentative and sub
ject to the approval and acceptance by
parties of interest residing in New
orleans.
Edwin Beyroux, president of the New
Orleans Garments local, and Edward
Rightor, counsel for the strikers, await
ing the result of the conference here,
left for New Orleans last night to sub
NIT the agreement to the vote Of the
carmen. Neither would comment upon
the terms of the agreement. Green
likewise declined to comment.
Paterson announced that his COM
pany would continue to operate its
street cars without change at present,
as under the tentative agreement old
employees cannot be taken back until
a permanent pact is reached.
Noted as Welfare Worker.

known welfare workers in the Catholic

MOSCOW, September LP),-Serious
doubts are now entertained by the Soviet
government as to tic sincerity ana
genuineneSS of the Chinese Nationalist
governments proposals for settlement OF
their dispute over the Chinese Eastern
Railway, in the light of editorials to-
day in the official newspapers PraVda
and Izvestia.
Both journals, one of which repre-
sents the government directly and the
other the Communist party, stress
''hostile statements" by Chinese Minister
c. c. WI at Geneva and by j. j. Man
tell, adviser to the Chinese government
on railroad administration at Mukden.
Documents and figures produced by
each of these speakers were declared
"false and fake"
Pravda makes vague references to
"imperialistic masters" behind DR.. WI
and Mr.. Mantell, obviously meaning the
United States. Under the caption,
"The American Demon" 1t prints a
cartoon showing a towering figure OF
Uncle Sam guiding the diminutive figure
of a Chinese militarist as the latter
prepares the Chinese governments re-
ply to the Soviet proposals.
Pravda and IzveStia, again called a.
tention today to fresh border raids by
Chinese troops in Manchuria and TO
repeated outrageS and excuses COM
mitted against Soviet citizens by Chinese
authorities"
The newspapers even allege that many
Russians have been beheaded, and
Pravda adds that hundreds of our cit
liens ara - - Cnmcye prisons, where
49, 49, subjected to indignities and
se%Iure worthy only of the Middle Ages.
1.-The property of Soviet citizens has
become the prey of Chinese hangmen,
who at the same time speak of their
peaceful intentions toward the Soviet
Union. If such are the expressions of
sincere desire for peace, what, then,
we ask, constitutes a provocation?"
Declaring that these acts only show
o new attempt being made by Chinese
militaristS to kindle the fires of war
in the Far East, Pravda calls upon the
Russian people to be ready to meet any
assaults upon the Soviet Union.
