wERNECKEH MINES, IN MAYO
 SECTION. HIT BY BAD MARKET

The unfortunate silver situation throughout the world is making it difKcHltto continue operations at the Wernecke mine, in the Mayo district of Yukon Territory, according to-. 8 report issued to its stockholders by the Treadwell Yukon Company in which there appears brief state. meht by, F.. R. Bradley, consulting engineer.
 Aceordingsto the. statement of the pndsideat,.the properties had an oper- ating profit last year of about $400S- 000.,. The views of Engineer Bradley are expressed in the following state ment:
 ''Wernecke Mines-The situation at this property has been seriously af= fected by the decline in the price of silver. Ore assaying 50 ounces or less of silver cannot be mined and milled at a pr6sss and ssfhsrefore will remain in place. Moreover, the chances are very remote that it will evershe possibe during the fife of the property to. return and mine ore of this grade. Consequently, the life of this enterprise may. be seriously shortened unless new discoveries are made in the district soon.4
 No new properties have been &C., quired, nor has the underground ex- rtasasinuAwosBK found ore in excess of expectations; so that unless unfore- seen discoveries are made in the close vicinity of the 'Wernecke camp proper

INQUIRY into NAVY
BY CONGRESS SEEN
Efforts to Be Made for Public
Probe Along Lines of
Present Controversy.

Efforts will be made early in the
coming session of Congress to bring
about a congressional investigation
somewhat along the lines Of the probe
to be made by a presidential commits
sion of the controversy between Pres
ident Hoover and officials of the Navy
League over alleged big Navy" propa-
ganda. it was learned today.
Chairman Britten of the House Naval
Affairs Committee. however. today de-
clined to enter the controversy. His
attitude, put plainly, was: Let them
fight it out"
Warns Against Reduction.
Chairman Britten did warn" against
naval reduction at this time which is
at the bottom of the Navy League con-
troversy. He said; Any controversy
between the President and the Navy
General Board will develop. believe,
that American public opinion favors
maintenance of a Navy that Is large
enough to protect the interests Of the
United States in any emergency. For
members of Congress to suggest or
stand for anything else would be
ruinous.
In his warning, Representative Britten
opposed radical naval economies. He
declared emphatically that this country
at this time, when actual warfare is
going on in ASIA when Russia is
mobilizing her tremendous military,
naval and aviation forces in Manchuria
and when the whole world is sitting on
a volcano which may blow of at any
moment"
Shouldn't Impair Fighting.
ct do not think we should cut our
Navy at time when practically every
great power on earth is indebted to us
by sums ranging from thousands of
millions of dollars downward"
He declared that 1.-The whole world
is on fire and we are surrounded by
sparks today just as surely as when
President Wilson uttered those words.
Economies for the Navy are all right
when they do not impair the
maneuvring. the shooting and the
actual fighting value of men and ships. -

WOOD SAYS HOOVER
is RIGHT ON NAVY
Indiana Representative Calls
League Members Bunch
of BuShWhackerS."
The stand taken by President Hoover

The stand taken by President Hoover
with respect TO the Navy League was
applauded today by Representative VIII
wood of Indiana chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee in the
last Congress. He referred to officers
and members OF the Navy League as
"bushwhackers" and said II he had been
in the Presidents place he would have
given them hotter shot than Mr.. Hoover
did
Representative Wood recently cen
sured some unnamed officials of the
Navy Department whom he accused Of
"betraying their trust" He has been
engaged in a vigorous denunciation of
alleged efforts to thwart the admins
tration's economy program. particularly
p. regards naval expenditures.
Sees Probe Success.
He declared emphatically today that
the President in his proposed investi-
CATION will be upheld by the entire coun-
try. He predicted it would be shown the
Navy League and other organizations
are endeavoring to undermine the ad-
miniStrations necessary economy pro-
gram so as to foreStall increase OF taxes
THIS is the strongest move the Presi-
dent could make to expose the inSidious
plans to undermine his economy pro-
gram" Representative Wood said Il
think he is now perfectly aware that
the Navy League and others are trying
to play politics at the cost of the Amer
lean taxpayer. This Navy League is
only bunch of bushwhackers who have
no interest in the country only an in
terest In carrying out Its own policy.
Il am mighty glad that the Presi-
dent acted so promptly. He had to do
as he did, for if he left the statement
of the league 60 unchallenged 1t would
have had a serious effect on the public
In making, the investigation he plans
he is not usurping any of the preroga-
tives of Congress. This investigation
need not interfere with any investiga-
ton that Congress might make /. for
one, would be glad to have Congress
make another investigation and give
Mr.. Gardiner and his associates an OPP
portunity to be heard.
Declares President Right.
1.-THE President is right in reducing
naval expenditures and in exposing the
Navy League. In view of the depression
it would be foolish to build up to the
treaty agreements. Let us wait until
after the Geneva conference in Febru-
airy, 1882. and see II any naval reduc-
tons are agreed upon in that confer
ence by the world powers. There is no
danger Of war and we can safely keep
down naval expenses until conditions
improve.
Il say again the President has the
interest of the taxpayers and the Navy
at heart and he Is proceeding along the
line that meets with national approval"
