Dull Spice
Pepper Also Hit by WPB
as Imports Fall OF

WASHINGTON, May s (INS).
The War Production Board to-
day ordered a so per cent cut in
the deliveries of allspice, cinnamon,
cloves, ginger, nutmeg and mace.
The board also placed restric-
tions on the distribution Of black
and white pepper. The board or
dered that deliveries of pepper be
held to the same level as last year,
thus preventing any increase in
consumption.
In the case Of the other spices,
1.-The board ordered a 80 per cent
cut 10 wholesalers. who will pass
the cut on TO retailers. Industrial
firms, such as the meatpacking,
Ipickling and canning industries.
will be given IS per cent of de-
lliveries compared with last year.
WPB explained that the spices
covered by the order are imported
from the Netherlands East Indies,
India, Ceylon. China, French Indo-
c hina, Zanzibar, Madagascar,
Africa and the West Indies.
"SOme OF these sources have
been cut off entirely by the war,
and the shipping space from
other areas Is very limited"
WPB said.
The supply of black pepper in
the United States, il was said, Is
sufficient for about two years. The
supply of other imported spices,
Including white pepper, is esti-
mated under normal conditions to
be enough for about six to nine
months. As a result of the restric-
tons on deliveries, the supply is
now expected to last II to IS
months.

the mineral he was looking for. At any
rate, in 1895 q comparatively rich
body OF gold ore was discovered In the
vicinity OF the old shaft. This was the
beginning of the Golden Cloud mine.
A large crew OF men was employed
and the cook shack was located near
the old prospect hole, with the meat
house built right over the shaft

his claim that there was, between
