NEW GOLD FIND IN \ PHILIPPINE MINE Is
 STARTING \ BOOM

MANILA, Mar. 3. n The finding of new gold deposits in mountains around the resort town of Baguia are reported by officials of the Big Wedge Mining Company, who say the value of the find will remain problematical until the extent of the deposit could be determined.
 Many square miles of territory in the mountains adjacent to claims which have been producing gold for the past three decades are already under mining leases, so gold rush so familiar in Amer1ca in times past is impossible.
 The output of the field has shown a steady increase in recent years. It is dominated by five companies mostly financed locally through the sale of stock to thousands of in vestorS.
 Promoters of the Big Wedge de- clare their latest find has shown an assay commercially as high as $2OO ton, while one specimen a.sSayed $3,000 to the ton.
 The 1880 output of the field, ac- cording to official figures, was $3,- 704, ,799.

In history repeating ITSELF the next third will be
filled with events of the greatest significance to
the future of our nation. Certainly that was
true during the corresponding period in the
Nineteenth century and a comparison and con-
trast of 1888 and 1888 cannot fail to be of inter-
est and perhaps, of value to Americans as they
face the new year.
In 1888 there was a new type Of President In
the White House, Democratic President.
Andrew Jackson was his name and his being
there had come about through vertible political
revolution. Its significance has been well APP
praised by the historian, Frederic Austin Ogg,
In his volume 1.-THE Reign Of Andrew Jackson
A Chronicle Of the Frontier In Politics" In the
Yale University Press series 'The Chronicles Of
America" He writes:
"Jackson's election to the Presidency In 1928
was correctly described by Senator Benton as
"a triumph of democratic principle and an as
sertion of the peoples right to govern them
selves Jefferson in his day was candidate Of
the masses and his triumph over John Adams
in 1900 was received with great public acclaim.
Yet the Virginan was at best an aristocratic
sort of democrat; he was never In the fullest
sense man of the people, Neither Madison nor
Monroe inspired enthusiasm, and for John
Quincy Adams even New Englanders voted, as
Ezekiel Webster confessed, from cold sense of
duty.
Jackson was, as no President before him, the
choice Of the masses. His popular vote In 1924
revealed not only his personal popularity. but
the growing power Of the democratic elements
In the nation, and his defeat in the house of
representatives only strengthened his own and

New Keith Film Has Manhunt Thrill

The vogue of blood and

continues undated. Nearly all
the recent "shockers" have been
successful box office attractions
as well as first class entertain
ment.
Add to the list "The Most
Dangerous Game" which Keith's
launches right in the middle of
the week in its bid for the movie
patronage.
While THE Most Dangerous
Game" is devoid of many of the
terrifying elements that are
utilized in most "shockers" to
create horror it has other ele-
ments designed to shatter none
too strong nerves.
The film opens with a superb
scene of a ship explosion in
shark-infested Pacific waters. The
lone survivor, big game hunter
is cast ashore on an island, from
which rises amid a tropical
paradise a portentous castle. The
master of this domain is a
Russian nobleman who has as his
guests several other victims of

develops that the count is respon
