OLD GOLD AREA
CROWDED AGAIN

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 7. UP
The roar of the stamp mills, the
groans of steam shovels, the rattle
of ore cars have chased the GHOSTS"
from the ghost towns of Califor-
MAS fabulous Mother Lode gold
district.
High spirits have replaced spooks,
and once-decaying towns that were
born during the hectic wonder of
CALIFORNIA; original gold strike
have been revived to a more sub
stantial existence based on the
foundation of a new, higher price
for gold.
ong-abandoned workings final
ly have been placed on profitable
basis. No one is getting rich, but,
as one miner puts it, "it'S better
than being on relief"
New Mines Opened
The success of CALIFORNIA; re-
born gold industry is seen in gov
ernment figures showing an in
crease in California's gold produc-
tion from 613,578 fine ounces in
1000 W t1OyOOO OlillNCO lclOu gNebl e
Because of the increase in gold
prices, the jump in value was even
greater, going from $15,683,075 to
$25, ,131, ,284.
Even greater production increases
were expected this year with the
opening of scores of new mines
made possible through the working
of low-grade ore.
Typical of many of the small op-
erations, Arthur Frey and H. H.
Martin are working a glory hole"

Mark Twain's historic cabin.

A pile of ore near the mine as
sertedly would net the operators

weeks work for the two men.
In one county-Tuoloumne-it is
estimated TOO men are on mine

fewer than 100 few years ago.

BRITISH FIRMS
HIT BY RULING

LONDON, Nov. 7. UP)-A recent
court decision that loose-leaf book
is not a book" within the meaning
of the British Companies Act
which prescribes that minutes OF
directors meetings must be kept in
a "book"-haS caused a big hurry
in English legal circles.
All the big British banks now
use loose-leaf ledgers and account
books but they did not do so until
learned and expensive counsel had
advised them that such records
should be acceptable as evidence In
the courts.
Sir John Simon, for example,
when practicing at the bar, is un-
derstood to have advised clients
that the mechanical construction
of book should have nothing to
do with its value as evidence. And
the courts have tacitly sustained
this view by not raising objections
to evidence offered in the form of
book with easily detachable pages.
However, to be on the safe side
and prevent any possibility of abuse,
some big companies have their
more important loose-leaf books
constructed with lock and key.
But the decision-of Mr.. Justice
Bennett-stresseS the fact that the
records in loose-leaf book can ad-
mittedly be tampered with and
that this rules them out as suitable

CHEOPS SUBWAY
LINKING TOMBS
TO BE EXPLORED

CAIRO, Nov. Z. W.P)-Egypt, land
of mysteries, has just revealed one
more page of ancient history-a
subway system of 2766 B. G.
The subway is believed to have
been part of a great architectural
plan conceived after the creation of
the Pyramid of Chrephren.
The passage provides a means OF
going from the metropolis of King
Cheops, believed to nave been the
builder of the Great Pyramid, to
that of King Chrephren, the build
er of the Second Pyramid. 1t pass
es under the great causeWay which
stretches for nearly a mile between
the Second Pyramid and the Tenn
pie of the Sphinx.
The discovery of this cauSeWay
is of recent date. 1t is paved with
limestone blocks fitted together as
carefully as any of the blocks in the
massive pyramids. So far, eXcava-
tors have gone down 125 feet, and
in the lower level it is hoped that
still greater discoveries may be
made.

INDLANAN OWNS
WATCHCARRIED
BYWASHINGTON

LAGRANGE, Ind, Nov. 7. (U.R-
A watch, once owned by President
George Washington. is possessed by
Milo Tucker, farmer.
President Washington gave the
watch to fuckers great-great-
grandfather, the Rev. Edward Ev-
ems, at the close of the Revolution
airy war in 1881, and it has been
handed down to each succeeding
generation.
The timepiece is two inches in
diameter and seven-eighths of an
inch in thickness, with a one-half
inch stem. 1t has two cases, both
of silver color. The outer case
must be removed to wind the
Watcn.
The hours are marked in Roman
numerals, with the minutes marked
in figures above the numerals. The
days of the month to 81 are inside
the numerals.
The watch ran the last time it
was wound, but the winding key
has been misplaced.

GIRL STUDIES
POLICE WORK

WICHITA, Kan. Nov. 7. UP
Edna Howse, a young Wichita So
ciety woman, recently enrolled for
the police school work which is be-
ing given 100 candidates, all men,
for police duty.
Miss Howse, a Wichita university
student, believes that the course
will be valuable to her the rest of
her life and recommends that 9TH
er women take similar instruction.
81 found it invaluable to learn
how to make out a police report,
something every citizen should
know to decrease crime" she said,
land I also got a good idea just
how much policeman has to put
up with from the criminal as well
as the law-abiding citizen.
"The course is recommended to
housewives and business women.
For housewives it would be valuable
in reporting burglaries and even in
preventing them. For business
women it would teach them much
about the rackets and would also
help IN preventing accidents"

GHOSTLY FIGURES
HAUNTS INDIANS
IN NORTH WILDS

KASKESIU, Sask., Nov. 7. W.P)-
Appearance of a weird, hooded fig
ure which stalks and attacks set
tiers during the night has aroused
fears among Indians and super
stitious whites that "Weetigo," !"
mythical Indian devil, again is
roaming this northern country.
The legendary evil spirit is de-
scribed as a ghost-like figure of a
man, wearing a sack over the head
with Sits cut out for eyes.
Several settlers and Indians have
reported to police that the figure
had sneaked near their lonely
homes and camps in the north
area around the National Park and
frightened them with weird antics.
One Indian said the figure
stalked out of a bush to his camp,
seized a kettle of boiling water and
threw it at him, scalding his back.
Indians in the district swear the
figure is a 'Weetigo," an evil spirit
with no eyes and no mouth. White
settlers say 1t is a "crazy Indian" !"
