 Government geologists are not employed because they are sup CT men or better informed than many other geologists, but are selected because of their unques- tionable integrity and when they are sent here they are expected to cover so many square miles
 per day and they can only give the surface a glance which is not sufficient to solve a problem that has not been encountered any where else in the world. And one of the principal reasons why the ore bodies have not been found here is that the greater percent of mining men of all grades are vein-wise and gold foolish, and look for veins and formation in- stead of gold.
 Many centuries ago Solomon sent out an expedition for metal His instructions were: silver is found in veins and gold is where you find it."
 That still holds good, and il you are looking for gold, keer your mind centered on gold. For get the vein you worked in anc the condition in that camp. For. get your books and especially tn, advice you received from swive chair miners. Their advise is ger erally synthentc, and is apt t leave a bad taste in your pocket book. Look for gold.

If in 3 saft formation like schist you nay look for a shatterzone, and he cleavage plains have opened and the strike joints have been sep arated in some instances so slight that they are barely visible, and in other places the openings are large enough to form small quartz veins. But in this section they | possess neither depth nor con- tinuity and can only be regarded as sign posts or guides for ore bodies which will be found in the schistS. Look for iron as an- other guide. Near the surface it will be exide of iron. In depth it will be sulphide of iron. If you are looking for high grade ore I would advise you to go elsewhere. Highgrade ore has been found here but not in sufficient quantity to make a workable mine.

NELLY BILL UP
T0PRES|DENT

Support Of the Nicely bill, which
liberalizes the retirement stand
ards for Civil Service employees
and reduces the retirement age,
was asked by President Roosevelt
today by Robert H. Alcorn, chair
man Of the Joint Conference on
Retirement.
While the President did not spe-
officially indorse the provisions of
the Nicely bill, Chairman Alcorn
left the White House feeling that
the President generally favors
lower ages for retirement for Civil
Service employees with long-service
records.
The general age groups for op-
tional retirement, under the Nicely
bill, are So, so and GA years. The
cost Of this lowered retirement,
Chairman Alcorn said, would be
about $4,000, 900 a year more than
the present system, where optional
retirement is at So, IS and 10
years.
The President is reported to be
ready to confer with Director Bell,
Of the Bureau Of the Budget, be-
fore making any definite move to-
ward reducing the present age
limits.

Kill on Sight

NEW YORK, April 7 ON.S0.
The far-flung search for Robert
Irwin was frightened today as po-
lice warned that the accused
Easter triple slayer was a homi-
cidal maniac bent on destroying
all who stood in his path.
While the public was spurred to
action in the greatest Eastern
manhunt since the Lindbergh
case, the crazed young sculptor
fitted phantom-like from the 20
600 or more peace officers seek

mother, Mrs. Mary Gedeon. and
their roomer, Frank Byrnes. Mrs.
Ethel Gedeon Kudner fled to q
hiding place because police feared
Irwin. had marked her, also. for
death.
Frustrated Love Blamed
Frustrated love Of Mrs. Kudner,
Staid older sister of the lovely 20
year-old artists model, was the
motive given by police for the
Easter crimes.
Detectives working on the case
were informed of a startling story
by her husband, Joseph Kudner,
that Irwin foretold the murders
Of Mrs. Gedeon and Ronnie
months before in q blood-curdling
allegory. .
Kudner was quoted as saying
that the sculptor and Bible stu
dent related how q mythical fig
ure would strange the two women
who stood between him and his
beloved and how afterward he
would Spurn the adored one for
ever.
That was why precautions we're
taken to safeguard Mrs. Kudner.
University Fire PrObed
From the Canadian border to
the deep South, from as far West
as Pittsburgh to a freighter at sea,
came information that Irwin or
a man resembling him had been
seen. The tipsterS invariably told
of how their suspect" glared at
pictures of women and burst into
maniacal laughter.
