Unlets His Credentials as Ambassa. dor Arrive He Cannot Take Part in Dedicatory Ceremonies. Washlncton, D. C, April 27. Con slderable attention Is being given In official and diplomatic circles to the embarrassing position which Ger many is forced to occupy in Washing ton as a result of the delay in the arrival of the credentials of Baron von Sternberg, who, it has ben an nounced. Is eventually to succeed Herr Von Holloben as ambassdor hero. The German envoy's present rank Is that of minister on a special mission, and as. such he necessarily Is at the foot nf thr lie ft li.- - - - .ofc vi i iuuuait-r and Just preceding the charges d'af- lairus. wnuc uaron von Sternberg has ostensibly taken no notice of the embarrassing effects of his minor rank, friends of Germany in the Unit ed States arc dissatisfied that the head of the German embassy, who prior to tho departure of Em'basador Von Ilolleben, was dean of tho diplo matic corps, should be ranked by all of the foreign representatives at Washington save Venezuela, Uruguay, China and the Dominion Republic. It has been the intention of officials of the St, Louis Exposition that Baron voii Sternberg should be among the especially honored guests at the dodi catory ceremonies and German-Americans there are preparing to make the welcome of the kaiser's representa tive a hearty one. Official etiquette, however, will prevent tho embassador taking a prominent part on that occa sion. Unless his credentials as am bassador arrive in the meantime he will be seated at all official entertain ments between Chckib Bey. the Turk ish minister, and Senor Pulldo, the Venezuelan charge d'affaires, assum ing that the precedent set by the Mexican embassador at a recent din ner Is followed. On the occasion of all official func tions In Washington Baron von Stern berg occupies the same embarrassing position, having to give way to the representatives of almost every other nation. More noticeable than the hu miliation to which the Baron is thus subjected, however, is that of the baroness, who Is popular socially, and naturally would take a foremost place at all official receptions. Under he present conditions the delay In arrival of credentials works as fat.1.n 'iustl upon her as It does upon the baron Troops to Escort Governor Odsll. Albany, N.

It is Much Mor f vaiuaDie rsow Tnan Yvnen we iiacea me rirsr Aiioimem on me marKci oumc Two Months Ago. 3 CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTS A crew of men have been constantly at work ewr fincc we acquired this property and the Glasgow crosscut !.a. now encountered and fully crosscut the ledge. In this doss-cut we have opened up a body of ore sixteen feel in v i'ltli carrying good commercial values. In speaking of commercial values we mean ores v'l':cli have a sufficient value to pay for thc extraction '"'lling and all other incidental expenses thereto, with em ugh of a margin left over to pay good dividends to the s-ockholders. This large body of ore was not in the nature of a surprise, we simply expocted it, as the surface develop "ifiits showed this same large body of ore, and thero was no reason why it should not be encountered in this cross cut and at this depth. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT We are now turning to drift on the ledge to the west fioin the crosscut in order that wo may open up tho richer neb at a greater depth which are found on the turf.ieo "'roiigliout the Bnnnockburn claim. This line of development, we believe, will prove very interesting to all who arc interested, or may become inter rsted in the Highland mine, as it will certainly open np nre bodies rich in quality and in largo quantities. It will demonstrate that the Highland will rani; as one of the largest producers in the district. From now on the development work will bo com paratively easy and not very expensive, as wo will be drifting along the ledge where the ground is much easier ;o work than in the country rock which encases tho vein. Every month will show a largo increase in our ore reserves. FREE TRIP TO THE HIGHLAND To any one who wishes to invest a reasonable sum of mouey in the Highland mine, wo will pay all traveling expenses to and from thc mine for the purpose of his making a personal examination. In offering you a free trip to the Highland we feel that this is proof within itself of tho value of this prop erty as it stands to reason that if we di dnot have a good m:no there and all that we claim for it we could not offer j on such an inducement. We would be only too glad to have each and every one- who contemplates the investment of money in mines, c nic out and look over this property and the district in general. In offering to pay your expenses out here and back we feel that we are not running tiny risk whatsoever as we know positively that no one. no matter how great or conservative an expert or mining engineer he mny be, could jiossibly, roughly speaking, "turn it down." POOL YOUR INTERESTS If you have not sufficient money yourself to justify you in coming to tho Highland to look it over before in verting, we would suggest that you and your friends make up a small pool and send ono of your number ont here to look over tho Highland. In this way wo believe you v i uld get absolute information as to tho value of the prop erty you invest your money in, and you will also have an opportunity to leant all about the reputation, standing and ability of the directors of the Highland Cvirnpiny. OUR REFERENCE Wo take pleasuro in referring you to any bank, em it ss man, or mining man in our own community.
