She Will Not be Permitted to
Gain Foothold by Landing
Troops. ■ ■■ < . i
St. Petersburg, Sept. 23.— Brit
ain, Germany and France have
formed a compact to keep China
from being dismembered and
have jointly notified Jaan that if
she was going to land troops at
Nanking they would do the same.
The powers ifear that Japan
may land troops under the guise
• I' protecting its citizens and to
force China to pay the indemni
ty demanded for the loss of life
id' Japanese during the rebellion
in China. Should Japan gain a
foothold in China without pro
test from the European nations
she would be slow to withdraw
her troops and would declare
war with China. She has been
accused of instigating (he rebel
lion in the Chinese republic in
order that she might have an ex
cuse to land troops and ultimate
ly secure a large strip of terri
tory in lieu of a cash indemnity.
The European nations have
been watching the Japs and are
prepared to make concerted ac
tion to keep China intact as the
only means of preventing a war
which would result in changing
the map of the world.

Three and four dollar nuggets
are common and Hie smaller par

The Alaska anil Anri liwesl

tures of tlio Rutherford-Ramsev

lory of tin- property, il says:
Tlie showing consists <X two
veins, the smaller one being two
feel wide at bottom of shaft and
twenty-one inches wide the en
tire length of the drift. This
runs into the other vein and at
I he point of intersect ion there is
a width of eleven feel of ore av
eraging $ 15.*Ml1 vr Ion. The
larger vein averages live feet in
width, with values, as far as as
certained, averaging $14.on.
Most of the work has been done
on the smaller vein and compris
es a shaft 135 feel deep with
drifts A and It aggregating 130
feel on the ore, where il aver
ages -1 inches as above staled.
Part of the ore was sloped out
from above drift M and there is
now about too tons of ore on
ithc dump, A shipment of 40
tons of this same ore was made
to the Tacoma smeller and gave
net returns of $73.57 per ton,
tgross values of $85.00. Drifts
A and IJ are termed the 50-fool
level. Drift (’, is 50 feel-deeper
and just shows the vein to lie
of the same width and values as
above, hut the drift is only start
ed and therefore of little value
as demonstrating the extent of
the ore body until it has been
pushed further ahead. Samples
taken at drift (7 gave $1L>5 and
$500.
Conservative engineers have
estimated sufficient ore in sight
lo pay a profit of over $75,000
after paying for plant, mining,
etc., and should the next levels
show up ore in extent and grally
to that already proven, this prop
erty wilt soon rank as one of the
big producers o-f this section. A
few hundred feet of drifting
Should' more than treble the
amount of ore in sight.

Mrs. Thaw Uses Medium of Press,

Johnstown, Sept. 23—Mrs.
Thaw, the mother of Ilarry K.
Thaw, through the medium of
the press, has thanked the thou
sands of sympathetic ^persons
who have written her expressing
the hope, that her son would rtf
gain ins freedom. Mrs. Thaw
has received an enormous num
ber of loiters from men and wo
men in all parts of America and
Canada who glory in his escape
from the asylum and Ibe light
which is being made lo keep him
from being returned lo the slate
of'Xrtw York.
Mrs. Thaw's bdler is a digni
fied one but is pathetic when the
story of her life is known. The
father ill I lie young man was
fond of com.panv and was sel
dom at home during the latter
years of bis life and Ibe duly of
raising I he children fell to the
mother alone. It is the old
story of children being raised in
luxury and permitted to follow
their own inclinations without

if the mother has made mis
takes in the upbringing of her
son she lias paid dearly for her
fault.
