Copper Vin BsUrved to Hsvs Bms
Worked oy Olfl Teutons and Prob
ably by th Xomui.
Frankfort, June 25. In the roman
tic valley of the River Nahe, between
Kreuznach and St. Wendel. German
mining engineers have found ancient
copper mines, forgotten for centuries.
These are now In full operation again
and are yielding large quantities of the
metal that has become so precious.
Deputy Eugene Abresch, an engineer
of Neuetadt, first called attention to
the old mines. They had been redis
covered by him accidentally. A com
mission of experts was sent to make
an Investigation and ascertained that
dozens of copper mines had been oper
ated in this district probably a thou
sand year ago.
Torgotten Chamber round
In the valley of the Hosenbach, a
mall tributary to the Nahe, the com
mission discovered an old mine shaft
"Which had been covered up hundreds
of years. Before the ehaft could be
opened again a large number of trees
had to be cut down and It was neces
ary to remove enormous quantities of
earth.
Penetrating Into the mountain about
400 feet, the engineers reached a sub
terranean chamber or hall about 90
feet high and SO to 60 feet wide one
of the forgotten ancient mines. A
hasty examination showed the copper
vein worked by the old Teutons, and
probably also by the Romans, is still
rich and will be able to furnish a large
part of the copper needed by Germany
for centuries.
The main chamber of the mine pre
sents a wonderful picture, with Its
bluish-white stalactite and stalagmite
formations and green malachites. From
this dozens of small shafts are driven
deep Into the mountains, all leading
to rich deposits of copper.
Find Itong Kept Secret
Evidently the mine had been oper
ated long before blasting powder was
known. The tools found seem to have
been manufactured between the tenth
and the fourteenth centuries. The
mine was probably abandoned in the
Thirty Tears War, or even a century
earlier In an Invasion by a foreign
enemy.
Th report of the commission of
experts was so favorable that the
government decided to work the mine
and several smaller ones in the same
district. Preparations took many
months. Modern plants were built
and exploitation of the mines finally
has been started with splendid re
sults. For military reasons the govern
ment has kept this source of its cop
per supply secret as much as possible,
however, and the existence of the mine
has only now become generally known.

New York, June 25. (I. N. S.)
Thomas P. O'Connor, leader of the
Irish Nationalist party, familiarly
known as "Tay Pay," arrived Sunday
at an Atlantic port. He came unher
alded on a British steamship, accom
panied by Richard Hasleton, member
of parliament for North Galway. He
will go to Washington In a day or
two.
"I am here to lay before the men
of my racjB," Mr. O'Connor said, "and
before the friends of Ireland of
whatever race, the real Issues that
form the opinions of greater Ireland
In their relation to this democratic
republic of America.
'Regarding the war over there.
Britain is more than ever united and
hardened for the conflict. She will
fight to the finish.
"President Wilson's address to con
gress presented to me the clearest defi
nition of the Issues and purposes for
which all free men are fighting today?
and I believe I echo the sentiments of
all true men of my race. It is my
hope to meet the president when I go
to Washington. But no arrangments
have been made for that. It is only
a hope, not necessarily an expectation."

"I'm through with him. Anytime a
ballplayer can't stand a little kidding.
I m off him. Malls may bo some
