H. H. Lotz, of th4 Lotz-Larsen
Mining company, was in Salem
yesterday afternoon, on his way
borne td the camn. after a himi-
ness visit to "the outside," and a
Statesman reporter was able vto
get some very Important news con
earning developments on the prop

ing the; ore. and this mill, will be
in operation by the first f May.
It Is a Pilot mill, 50 tons capac-
Jty. it will J turn out about six
tons a day of concentrates, Tun
ning arouna sso a ton. or close
to'$500 a dSLT. Mr. Lotz says this
first mill will not-have a large
capacity, nut It will be a start.
and In the right direction for fu
ture development. : A '
'Bnn With Water Power
The mill will run with water
power, which is being developed
on Gold? Creek. It i is expected
that 75-horse power will be se
cured. This work is also about
done, and the power wlll be avail
able when , the mill -is ready to
run. ... . -
, His company has a great avail
apie corse-power In the Little
North Pork, running " between' a
solid , rock formation in a very
narrow space, and when the time
comes to develop this power the
will be .enough to drive all the
macmnery that ,Is likely to be
needed In that , camp' for .a long

, The concentrates will be truck
ed to the railroad and shipped to

I Mountains of Rich Ore
The main tunnel at this mine
has now been bored into the side
of the mountain 1100 feet. At
the 1 1 00 toot point three assays
were made a few days ago, re
sulting as follows:
. From a pay streak 14 inches
wide: : Gold, $.40 a ton: silver;
$9.88 a ton: copper. $57.70 a ton,4
copper figured at 17c a pound-
From six feet wide at the breast:
GoId.H.20 a ton: silver, $5.34 a
ton: copper. $25.70 a ton.
Prom the, bottom of the tunnel,
safest wide: Gold. $1 a ton;
silver, $3.95 a ton; copper, $45.70
a ton. .
In each case, copper was figured
at 17 ' cents a pound. The last
Henry Clews , lettsr Wall Street
authority, says copper is expected
to go to 20 cents a pound soon.

V From an Expert'
H. Moore, a leading mining en

visited this mine. After making
a thorough examination, he said,
"My God, Lotz, I never expected
to find the. values you have here!
I, wonder if you realize what you
have" here?' -!
Mr. .Lotz thinks he does realize
what the values are up there
else he and hl3 partner, Mr. Lar

V they have, working almost day
t nd night under all sorts of handi
caps and adverse conditions.
But the time of the beginning
period of reaping their reward
seems now In sight.-

DUST EXPLOSIONS ;
TO BE PHD
Apparatus i Would Remove
Dust From Grain, Thus
Eliminating Danger.
CHICAGO.' Mar. 5. (By The
Associated Press.) The dust ex
plosion j menace in grain, ' eleva
tors, which has cost several lives
and damage running into mil
lions of dollars in the. last few
years, is to . be removed by ithe
elimination of the dust, as a re
sult of investigations conducted
by a committee representing
grain dealers, j boards of ' trade,
fire Insurance Interests and fire
prevention experts.
The committee on dust control
in grain elevators was organized
early in 1922, after a series of
disastrous explosions, including
the $2,5.00.000 blast which de
stroyed the mammoth . concrete
elevator , of : the . Armour Grain
company and ; the Chicago '&
Northwestern railroad ( here, with
a loss of , several . lives. . The In
surance ! companies paid , $1,600,-
000 claims on that explosion.
Canada has had three disastrous
explosions recently, one at St.
Johns' . B. C, 'one at Montreal
and the thfrd ! at Port Colurn,
Ontario. ,
As a result! of investigations
undertaken by A. A. Small,
chairman of the committee hnd
vice-president of the Fire Under
writers ,. Laboratories here, the
committee has decided to recom
mend installation . ef apparatus
in all elevators : to remove the
dust from : the grain ' as It la
handled. . ! . .
i The : Underwriters Laboratories
has been commissioned to . de
velop the 1 apparatus and stand
ards of practice ; to be followed
td'i insure removal of ' the dust,
without sucking - out any solid
grains. - ; ; .
The investigation by the labo
ratories r has uncovered consider
able information as to the cause
of dust explosions. : In an 'aver
age car . load of grain brought
to the elevators there is about
thirty pounds or two bushels of
light dust, which Is subject to
spontaneous combustion as a re
sult of oxidation when : expose
to air, making it particularly
dangerous. ;,- .
"Dust is more dangerous thah
solids because of the greater sur
face exposed .to the air, accord
ing to Mr. Small. "A poun'd of
coal, in lump.' affers a certain
amount , of ' surface to the . oxy
gen in the. air.' Crush the same
amount of . coal j into dusi and the
exposed surface Is greatly mul
tiplied. Increasing the . danger.
The same thing Is true of the
fine dust collected in handling
grain. . - . ..''.. . , , :,
"There always have been grain
dust explosions; in elevators, bat
strangely enough they did not
begin to attract national atten
tion until, the. huge .fire-proof
concrete elevator was perfected.
Before , that a small wooden, ele
vator would be wrecked, but the
amount of grain affected and the
damage caused: was so small as
to attract only ! loca4 attention.
"With the concentration of
millions of bushels of 'grain in
huge concrete elevators, multi
plying the " danger many times
aad likewise increasing - the pos
sible loss, the j occasional - explo
sions have become such a menace
a ' to . require - study."

POSITIOiJSTODE

Churchill, Erickson and Bon
ier to Draw for Basket
ball Series,
Today the. Jocal committee, State
Superintendent J. A. Church
ill, Prof. F. Erickson of Willa
mette. and Coach Roy Bohler
also of Willamette, are to draw
for the positions : in the state
basketball tournament that starts
here Thursday afternoon. Some
body wil be out of luck ths very
first minute of play, for the
lorer of the first game, Thurs
day afternoon. Is eliminated
without a comeback. Last year
it was the Joseph team that
drew this hard-luck chance. The
Josephites are in again this
year, hoping for better success.
Of the nine district champion-
Ships, seven are definitely known.
The first exception Is In the
sixth distrct, where the Unver-
sity high school of Eugene was
to play the deciding game with
Scio, with the probability that
the Eujrene' team would wn. In
the ninth district, Astoria has a
clean record of wins, and Rai
nier has lost but one game.
The Rainier team claimed a
game with Astoria, which might
lie the score but could not win
a place for either. If the de
mand of -Rainier should be up
held, Astoria has offered to with
draw and let Rainier claim the
honor, rather than risk a three
game series this , tournament
week, wherein whoever wins
tvould be worn out before the
tournament begins.1 It is expect
ed that the Astoria team ! will
be accpeted on its present re
cord. The contestants will be:
First District, Joseph; Second,
Athena; Third. The Dalles;
Fourth. . Medford; Fifth, Myrtle
Point; Sixth, University high
school of Eugene, or Scio; Sev
enth, Salem; Eighth, Tillamook;
Ninth. Astoria or Rainier.
" Coach Bohler was much Im
pressed with the - Tillamook
team that cleaned up on rMc
Minnville and Newberg. They
are a particularly hussy lot oi
players and when Coach Bohler
saw - them play againBt Newberg,
the Newbergers fairly bounced
off them like peas off a battle-
jhip. . f
It is understood that Athena is
to send a particularly formid
able team. They are represent
ed to be of the lean, lanky type,
with splendid height and with
enough skill to make them dan
gerous for- any antagonist.. Sa
Iem has een ; Medford play. The
local team beat them three
straight games, but they have a
fast, aggressive organization that
will . give any antagonist a good
race. Astoria " last year got into
the semi-finals after playing j two
games. Nothing is known here
of the teams from Eugene or
Joseph, or Myrtle Point or The
Dalles.
Tickets for the first single
pnrae, Thursday aiternoon, ; win
be 35 cents. All the others , will
be two-game series, until f- the
closing game between the ? two
that come through with a clean
core. They will cost SO cents.
George ! Bohler, basketball
roach at Oregon, and Ralph
Coleman, of OAC, will referee
the games on a schedule of their
own making. Coleman was one

the British army, saw active ser

European wars, and in spite of
these experiences and his 5? years
the love of adventure. In this sol

alone two years ago on a 7000
mile journey of the utmost diffi
culty. So far as the reeords go,
no man had ever before made, the
trip the' general selected for' his
adventure. He covered half the dls
tanc on foot, and is now in a Cal
cutta bospltal recovering from the
effects of some of his hardships.
After the armistice General'Pe
reira was sent to Peking as mili
tary attache to the British em
bassy. In January of 1921 he was
ready to go back to England, but
his sporting instinct had been
aroused by tales of the difficulty
of travel through certain sections
of China and he received permis
