HUNT
FOR BABY

LEESBURG, Va, March 4.
This community was all excited
this afternoon with the possibility
that the Lindbergh baby may be
here, or may have been here last
night.
A woman resident was awak-
ened early this morning by the
sound of a baby crying. Look
ing out of the window, she saw
an automobile bearing New York
license tags driving out Of a
blind alley adjacent to her home,
where apparently the car had
been all night. A baby'S sobs
came from the departing vehicle.
Shortly before noon some
women attending Lenten services
at st. James Episcopal Church,
two blocks away, insisted they
heard the sounds of a baby crying
in the basement. They called po-
lice and firemen, who searched
every chamber of the edifice.
The church is a large stone
structure. with a labyrinth Of a
basement, unlighted, with plenty
of places in it for a baby to be
hidden.

Word Expected MomentarL

With the forces of the law swept off the
stage and the Lindberghs made accessible to
any offer that the kidnapers had to offer, the

contained in the letter left by the kdnapers in
the nursery This note said to have contained
suggestion that communication would be received by
the parents several days after the child taken away
A man telephoned Colonel Lindbergh from Long
Branch NJ j., this morning. asking if the kidnapers

JAPS REOPEN
DRIVE IN
CHINA
Attacks at Two Points Bring
Heavy Casualties as Foes
Get Orders TO- Resist
By DIXON HosTE

SHANGH Al, March 4
(I.N.S.). - Japanese military
officers today ordered their
forces to attack the Chinese
Army at two points at which
it had resisted during its
general retreat.
One of these was at Nanziang,
where heavy fighting continued
today with losses to each side un
derstood to be heavy.
The other was near Kiating
west of Tachang. where a serious
clash occurred today as the Japan
ese took command of neighboring
villages.
Thus, although the Shanghai
front had been comparatively
quiet for nearly "a hours, the Chi
neSe and Japanese forces today
found themselves engaged in bit
ter warfare again, with little diff
ference in the situation except
that the Chinese were driven well
out of the Shanghai territory.
Resistance to Continue ~~
Both points Of today's fighting
are within the 20-kilometer radius
of Shanghai which the Japanese
had demanded be cleared of Chin
ese troops
The fighting bore out the con
tention of Chinese leaders in
Shanghai that there was little
hope for immediate peace, and
that, because of the harsh terms

Dims Chicago Clue

CHICAGO, 4Iarch 4 G.N.S).
A tip from Eastern authorities
today caused detectives and
Secret Six operatives to raid a
rooming house in which the
Lindbergh baby was supposedly
held captive.
Thorough search Of the three
story building and exhaustive
questioning of tenants and Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Merrill, jr.,
owners, failed to reveal a clue.
The police were forced to the
conclusion that the tip was the
work of a crank.

ANNE L|NDBERCH EGS
K|DNAPERS To TRUST
PROMISE Of SAFETY

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 4 Q.NS.).
Mrs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, speak
ing as mother, pleaded today in an
open letter to the kidnapers of Charles
Augustus Lindbergh, jr., to return her
child.
She asked for the confidence of the
kidnapers in opening negotiations for
the child's return.
The plea was broadcast by radio and
published throughout the nation.
The letter was taken by State trooper to
the office of the governor in Trenton for
dissemination throughout the land.
Will Speed Results, Belief
The most striking development in the case
since Baby Lindbergh was kidnapped last
Tuesday night from his nursery crib, it was
seen as clearing the path to the Lindberghs
for the kidnapers.
It served to quiet any possible fears the
kidnapers might have felt that communica-
tion was beset with danger.
It virtually meant that the police had
agreed to stand aside for the sake of the child.
It meant that future dealings for the
recovery of the baby were simply a matter
between the Lindberghs-party of the first
part-and the kidnapers- of the second
part.

NE W COMP ANY
 TAKES WOODB|NE

Hugh B. Mcclure, prominent local mining man and former director of the Woodbine, announced last week that the Woodbine property has been taken over under option by the Missouri Ridge Gold Mines, Limited, new company or ganized and backed by Eastern capital.
 MT. Mcclure indicated that he is no longer connected with the Woodbine Gold Mining Co.,. which, he stated, has lost it's op- tion on the Woodbine, with the result that the property revert ed to the owners, Charles Lake and associates, from whom the Missouri Ridge company se- cured the present option.
 Recent press reports from the south indicate that the affairs of the Woodbine company have become involved to such extent that the shareholders have asked the Secretary of State to appoint a competent inspector to investigate the company affairs and report thereon. A resolution passed by the shareholders indicates that "there is reason on sub- stantial grounds to believe that material information regard ing the affairs or management of the Woodbine Gold Mining Company, Limited, has been and is being concealed or with held from shareholders, whose interests entitle them to the dis closure" according to the Min ing and Industrial Record.

Chamber of Commerce
 Dinner Postponed

The monthly dinner meeting of the Hyder Chamber of Com- merce, scheduled for next Wednesday, has been post poned, owing to the Friendship Club ladies being unable to see their way clear to handle the function at this time.
 The inability to hold the din- ner at this time is greatly re- gretted by the Chamber mem- bers, as the monthly dinners served by the Club have proved a splendid means of attracting attendance on the part of citi- zens who are not members of the organization, thereby in- ducing many to become inter- ested in and to lend their assist ance to the work done by the Chamber for the communal benefit.
 Just when the ladies can again undertake the catering function is undecided at pres ent, but it is hoped that it will not be long.

SAYS SILVER MAY BE
 CAMPAIGN ISSUE

With world finances facing a crisis and domestic business in grave straits, the coming presi- dential campaign probably will see the silver question become an important issue, according to Washington press reports.
 Both parties have accepted silver blanks in their platforms and it is also certain that the is sue will play a prominent part in the deliberations of congress during the short session which convenes in November, the re- ports say. In short it appears very likely to become the source of a national controver- sy as great as that which agi- tated the country thirty-five years ago under the leadership of Bryan.
 Behind the resurrection of the issue is a three-fold object, according to the reports.
 By those who believe in the quantative theory of money, it is held that with more actual tender in circulation, as silver certificates and actual silver coin, money values would be deflated and comodity prices inflated, with attendant rehab- ilitation of industry. It is also contended by a group led by senator Borah that by re-estab- lshing the monetary value of silver in international trade, the buying power of China, Mexico, India and the South American republics would be restored a n d world trade would enjoy a powerful boom.
 It is held further that inter- national monetization of silver would settle the problem of world debts and separations, as it would make it possible for Germany, with plenty of silver available, to pay her debts to France, Italy, and England, for those nations to pass the money along to the United States.

New Stamp Taxes Imposed

The Internal Revenue Act of 1882 imposes various new stamp taxes, as follows:
 On issues of bonds or capital stock, 10 cents per S100 par value. When the shares or cer- tificates are without par or face value, and the actual val ue is less than S100, the tax is ? cents for each S20 of actual value. Documentary stamps are to be used.
 Stock are taxed 4 cents per $100 par value, or 4 cents per share in case of no par value. In case the selling price, if any, is $2O or more per share, the rate is increased to 5 cents, in- stead of 4 cents per share. Stock transfer stamps are to be affixed.
 Bond transfers are taxed 4 cents per $100 par value and documentary stamps are to be affixed. ..
 All real estate conveyances must bear documentary stamps in the amount of 50 cents if the value of the property conveyed exceeds $100 but does not ex- ceed $500, and 50 cents addit- ional on each $500 or fraction al part.

BROWNELL EXPECTS
 SILVER ACTION SOON

Francis H. Brownell, chair man of the board of American Smelling and Refining comp any, is reported as saying on his return from a recent trip to Europe that there were indi- cations that something would be done soon to further the use of silver"
 "The question of what should be done," said MT. Brownell, "is receiving profound consid- eration by European statesmen, because it is one of the most important problems with which the world is faced today"
 A statement that economic recovery hinges upon what the United States is willing to do to rehabilitate the value of silver was made recently in Los Ang- eles by J. G. Ridland, secre- tary-treasurer of the Imperial Bank of India. MT. Ridland's statement was made at the con- vention of the American Inst. ute of Banking, at which he was an unexpected guest.
 Ridland said the abandon ment of the gold standard by England and other countries has strangled Americas for eign trade. The difference in exchange added 50 per cent to the cost of United States prod ucts in India, he said.
 Suppose the price. of silver was raised" he continued. "It would immediately increase the wealth of all countries on the silver standard and tend to make it possible for them to purchase American m a d e goods. I believe silver should be linked with gold in some way to stabilize the value of the dollar"
 The Associated Press an- nounced a few days ago that the United States had agreed to participate in an internal ional economic conference" to be called in London. The date and program had not been set, but the agenda would include tariff quotas, monetary re- forms and all subjects relating to commerce and banking"
 France, Italy and other Euro pean powers were to take part, the report said, leaving the impression that Great Britain had informally taken the initi- ative.

Claimed Ore Discoveries
 Enhanced Premier Shares

A recent sudden advance of
 eight cents in Premier shares
 in the East is claimed by Van
 couver mining publications to
 have been due to recent discov-
 cries of new ore reserves in the
 Premier mine. Share quotat-
 ions of A cents were reported
 to have advanced to 52 cents in
 the course of a brisk upward
 movement.
 While no information relat-
 i've to new ore discoveries has
 been made public here, it is
 clearly indicated in the last an- nual report of the company, a.
 we'll as in earlier reports, that important new ore discoveries are not infrequent during each year of operation.
 By way of illustration, it may be pointed out that the last an nual report showed ore re- serves amounting to 369,205 tons on December 31, 1880 Ore mined during 1881 was placed at 242,317 tons. Ex. cluding new ore discoveries from reckoning, the deduction of this amount from the reserve at the close of 1880 would leave on hand at the close of 1881, a total of only 126,888 tons of ore. We find, however, that the 1881 report gives the ore reserves on December 31. 1881 as being 253,628 tons. The additional 126,74O tons to have been due at least in a large degree to new ore discoveries during 1881. Furthermore, the 1880 report also shows a similar large gain in ore reserves in the state that ore reserves at the end ot 1929 were 419,036 tons, from which 256,836 tons wer leaving ostensibly a re- mainder of 162,200 tons of the amount still on hand. We find that instead of 162,- 200 tons, the report shows re- serves at the end of the year amounting to 286,535 tons, an increase of 124,335 tons over the amount that should have been on hand if no new ore was brought in during the year.
 Again in the 1929 report we find a similar large increase n ore during the year. Ac- cording to the report, ore on hand at the beginning of 1929 l amounted to 456,203 tons. Ore l mined during the year totaled 266,972 tons. This would leave | ! balance of 189,231 tons on hand at the close of the year. 1 Instead we find that the re- serves at the end of that year are placed at 3O3,172 tons, an increase of 113,941 tons.
 It thus appears that during l each of the years under consid- eration approximately half as much new ore was brought in each year as was mined.
 Furthermore, a comparison of | he reserve figures of the last | ;hree reports shows that the actual illumination in ore re- serves between the close of 19-
