JEBY GIVEN DAMN
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, N.
Y., March 20,—Ben Jeby, recogniz
ed here as world middleweight
champion, was given a draw by
Referee Ed Forbes and two judges
at the end of a 15-round title bat
tle with Vince Dundee, of Balti
more, before a crowd of 11,000.
The decision was soundly booed.
For 15 minutes after belling, Joe
Humnries, as surprised as every
one else in the big battle pit, an
nounced the decision, the crowd
stood around the ring and booed.
It was the first title defense of
Jeby, who won his recognition as
champion here by knocking cut
Frankie Battaglia, and for Dundee
it marked the opportunity of be
coming the second member of one
family to hold a world title, some
thing never before accomplished
in boxing history.

and the rich character of gold- j
bearing quartz mined on the ad- j
joining property owned by Mr. i
Horner of Seward, but by govern- |
ment and private engineers and 1
mining men of recognized reputa- i
tion.
Approximately 252 feet of tunnel
has been driven on the newly-ac- ,
quired property. Though the mine i
is in a proven and highly devel
oped stage. Mr. Kutar plans to drift !
deeper on the main vein and open
new ere bodies before extending
operations.
EARLY CONSTRUCTION
The construction of new camp;
building- preparatory to the in
stallation of modern appliances,
mining and ore dressing equipment
will commence at an early date,
it was learned today.
Spruce timber for cabins and
mine use is readily obtainable
from the forested a/ea between
the mine and the railroad.
Water power for mining, milling
and other.purposes is available un
der an 80-^.oot head of water from
Falls creek. This splendid falls is
situated within 100 feet of the
mine entrance.
The district is easily accessible.
Though the lower mountain slopes
are covered with soil and vegeta
aion, except where bedrock is ex
posed along Falls creek by the ero
sive action of the stream, prospect
ing is not difficult or expensive.
Quartz outcrops are not scanty
or lacking. Samples broken from
widely scattered outcropping vein
lets in this belt show some very
high assays.
ACTIVITY STIMULATED
Mineralized dikes are reported
[ to exist east of the divide which
: separates Fails creek valley from
Prince William Sound area. These
dikes, it is said, closely resemble
the GilDatrick dike in the Moose
Pass region. They are cut by a
! series of mineralized quartz string
ers carrying free-milling gold and
while it is possible some well-de
fined gold-bearing veins exist in
these dikes no data are available
is to the gold content of the sam
ples taken during a recent prelim
inary examination of this part of
the district.
Though prospecting has contin
ued intermittently, occasionally
stimulated to greater activity by
encouraging discoveries new devel
opment and exploration of the
known ore bodies of the region
has aroused considerable interest
in the economic importance of
this splendid eold belt.
This valuable property is owned
by Seward interests from which
Mr. Kutnar obtained the option.
PROSPECTING FOR OIL
Oil, having originated from or
ganic and inorganic matt or, that
is the lowest order of vegetabl#
material, mamalian life, such as the
dinosaurs, etc., of Mezzozoic age,
and in turn been hermetically seal
ed in the basins or chambers of the
earth by subsequent erosion of
hills nr cateclysims burying the
mass deep in the earth, the place to
search for it is where the country is
o-verlain by shales and sandstones.
These shales were originally mud of
the sea bottom, and the sandstone
was sapd. Heat of the earth and
mechanical agencies, such as great
pressure, set up a distillation pro
ducing oil. while hardening the,
shales. Both compression and lime
and iron transformed sands into
sandstone.
Subsequent earth movements,
when the rocks ware in a plastic
state, served to bring the shales and
sandstones into arches or anticlines.
Where these anticlines were dis
turbed sufficient to break the arch,
fractures often occured allowing
gas or oil to reach the surface- So
where there are uplifts of shal
es and sandstones there is a pos
sibility of oil.
The geologist classifies the age
of shales by the fossils of shell and
earliest Crustacea such as trillob
ites and fossils resembling a cor
ugated leadpencil. Where there is
this evidence of fossilization and
especially that of great prehistoric
land mammals, oil is often found
nearby
A simple test of any sands or
shales having the appearance of be
ing glued together by some tarry
substance is to heat it for the odor
of petroleum, or pulverize it, place
it in a cup, and add a little ether.
If it Is paraffine it shows a green
stain above the mass or ring around
the cun; if a:-aha It base, the ring
wTill be dark brown or black.
Don't look for oil in ingenous or
lava rocks.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21,—
Warrants charging “misappropria

dollars'' were issued yesterday for

B. Dauphine, vice president; and
Edwin C. Conro, treasurer of the

The Beloit 11, chartered by the
Curtis-Wiley Salvage Co., has been
anchored above the wreck of the
steamer Islander, off the end of
Douglas Island, to hold salvage
rights for the company which plan
to operate there during the com
ing summer, it was learned at Jun
eau.
The company has reorganized
and plans to continue the treasure
hunt aboard the sunken vessel in
an effort to recover the gold alleg
ed to have been aboard when the
wreck occurred.
L. Williams, a member of the
company, has taken the diving bell
invented by the Wileys and used
by them in their operations sever
al years ago. to Seattle to be re
constructed. It will be Drought
back later in the season and used
once more by the treasure seekers,
according to present plans.
